Better in Future

Recently The Times has been SO
crowded with late copy, coming in on
Thursday, that too frequently to suit
us, much has of necessity been crowd
ed out. This is not pleasing to the
management of this paper, neither are
we content to turn the paper out to
its readers without it containing ali
the news we can possibly get that
would possibly be Of interest to them
Therefore, beginning with this is
sue, we have inaugurated an improve
ment whereby we will be able to han
die all the news especially in regard
to st. Francois county, that reaches
this office not later than Thursday
morning each week. We must insist,
however, on all regular correspondents
to The Times getting their copy into
this office not later than Wednesday
evening, if possible, in order to in
sure insertion.

Unfortunate Affair

| The family and friends of Miss Mar.
tha Mccormick, daughter of DR.. E. C
McCormick, who was staying in St
Louis with Mrs. Albert C. SelIner
454e Duncan avenue, were very much
distressed over the report of her dis
appearance from the place where she
was stopping, since the preceding
Sunday. Her elder brother from
here and brother-in-law from Chica-
go went to st. Louis to institute a
search for her. Last Thursday they
found her at 4500 Duncan avenue, a
few doors from where she had been
staying, in company with a young
man named Junius Mulholland and
another young man and woman.
Young Mulholland said it was their
intention to get married, and it is said
proposed to make his intention good
at once, but Miss Mccormick was
taken away by her brother and bro
ther-in-law.
The two young men were locked up
pending application for warrant,
and the city papers were full of the af-
fair, each giving different versions as
the reporters would pick up scraps
from this source and that, all sensa-
tional and suggestive in character.
On Saturday morning the two young
men were released, as Circuit Attor-
ney Thomas refused to prosecute on
the evidence offered. In some of the
reports it was suggested that the
young woman had been enticed to the
house where they were found, and
drugged or forced to remain. Null
holland denied this and declared his
intention of marrying her. Circuit
Attorney Thomas, according to one
of the papers, corroberated a part of
this statement, that Miss Mccormick
had told him she went to the Duncan
avenue address of her own accord,
and that she could have departed at
any time had she desired.
After his release Mulholland, who
is said to be q years of age and re-
ported to have considerable means,
which, however, are yet in the GUS
tody of his guardian, insisted that he
was still determined to marry Miss
Mccormick as soon as he could find
her in the face of all opposition; that
"if her brothers had allowed us to
get married when they found US to-
gether, as we had intended doing,
Martha's name would have been
saved all this scandal.
1t is distressing and unfortunate
escapade of two thoughtless young
people, and let US hope that their
family and friends may place the
most charitable construction upon
their indiscretion and forget it.

Business Change

A change in the ownership of the
Pennington Milling Co. occurred re-
Gently, the change in the manage
ment dating from Sept. 1st. The in
terest in this splendid milling con-
cern which was formerly owned by
Charles Guessing, Sr., and H. W. Gies-
sing, has passed into the hands of
John Giessing and his two sons, P. D.
and, G. H. Guessing, and the business
will be conducted practically in the
same manner as heretofore.
The amount of money involved in
this transfer has not been made pub
lie, but it runs up into many thou
sands of dollars. This excellent pro-
perty is now entirely owned by sin
gle family. G. H. Giessing, one of
the new owners, has for number of
years been employed in the Bank of
Pennington. He has resigned his
position there, which will take effect
soon, and he will then give his en-
tire time to looking after the milling
business. P. D. Giessing, the other
son, who is now one of the owners of
the business, has been employed in
the mill for a number of years, and
is an experienced miller, as is also
the father, John Giessing, who has
been a partner in the business for
many years.

Republicans Speak

Hon. M. E. Rhodes, Republican
candidate for Congress from the Thir-
teenth District, delivered speech in
the Circuit Court room Tuesday eve
ming. He treated on the leading po-
litical issues, as he viewed them, and
from his own viewpoint, making
quite a plausible and entertaining
speech. The Republicans, generally,
however, appear to have lost heart
in the present campaign, and there
were but few present. The bulk
of the audience appeared to be Demo-
Gratis.
Judge Lamm, Republican candidate
for Governor. Walter S. Dickey, Re-
publican candidate for the u. S. SEN
ate, and few other notables are
billed to speak in Pennington next
Tuesday evening, when strenuous
effort will doubtless be made to in
jeet some political enthusiasm into
the campaign from a Republican
standpoint. Such candidates as these
should be able to inject little "pep"
into the campaign, if their "pep" box
is not empty, which appearances
strongly indicate Is the case

Back From West

James Kelly, who left but few
weeks ago for a visit with his son,
Robert f. Kelly, at Thernopolis, Wy
oming, expecting to stay in that coun-
try anyway until spring, returned
Monday, accompanied by his son, who
has been gone from Pennington for
"a years. The weather there did not
agree with his father, who was glad
to get back to Pennington. Mr.. Kel-
ly had a. very enjoyable month, how
ever, in viewing that vast country
and meeting with strange people. He
says that one of the things that most
impressed him was that practically
everyone he met with, throughout that
country, is enthusiastically in favor of
President Wilson for another term.
This general enthusiasm includes the
women, who are voters in that coun-
try.
During all the years of Robert
Kelly's experience in the far West,
this is the first visit he has made to
his old home. He was both surprised
and pleased with the many changes
and Improvements that have occurred
during his almost quarter of cen
tury absence. But he, too, has pros
pered during his absence, and now
owns a large sheep ranch near Their
nopolis. He will visit with old home
folks month or more.

Final Farm
Meetings

Bert L. France, who for the past
year or more has been the efficient and
capable Farm Adviser for st. aran-
co.'s county, has closed contract to
continue such work in northwestern
Iowa, to which place he will move
about Oct. 1st, where he will receive
quite a substantial increase in salary,
as well as far better cooperation.
But, even though he is soon to de-
part for other fields, Mr.. France is
always up and anxious to be of any
possible service to his farmer friends,
among whom he has worked during
his stay here with such zeal and en-
thusiasm. He has therefore arranged
for the following meetings, and hopes
to see all those present who have
shown any interest in the strenuous
efforts he has put forth to encourage
better farming:

Young Man Kills
Self at Flat River

William Sullivan, aged rs years,
shot himself in the forehead Sunday
afternoon and died few hours after
he fired the shot. He had been in
poor health for some time and it is
thought that this must have been the
cause of his ending his life. He was
an industrious man of good abits, and
lived with his father on Federal Hill.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist church on Monday afternoon.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR -
UPHELD BY REICHSTAG
DR.. Won Bethmann-H Olweg's Victory
Over Admiral Won Tirpitz
Is Complete.
(By Augustus F. Beach.)

Berlin, March %, via The Hague,
March 23.-The Interpolation of Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Holweg has fail
ed to materialize, as I predicted in a
previous dispatch would happen. The
feverish popular support of Won Tir-
pitz' plan of ruthless submarine war
fare has passed, and Germans are
now supporting the sane statesman
ship of the chancellor.
The reichstag was crowded to the
limit today by throng eager to wit
ness the attack on the government.
There was long delay in opening the
meeting till rumors began to spread
that an agreement had been reached
at the eleventh hour. This rumor
was justified when, in converting the
reichstag, DR.. Kaemps announced that
the Interpolation concerning U-boat
warfare had been postponed till next
week.
This statement was accepted spon-
taneously as victory for the chan
cellor.

Petrograd, March 23.-The great
Russian attacks on the Germans in
the Riga region are developing into
an engagement Of the first magnitude.
In the Jacobstadt sector, the cars

followed yesterdays success and
again pierced the German line.
The same report shows that fighting
is going on all along the 700-mile

be supported by nearly 10000 guns,
some OF them purchased from Japan
during the winter.
The most vigorous of the Russian
attacks has been directed against the
German and Austro-Hungarian posi-
tons south Of Riga, on the Drina riv-
er, in front of Dvinsk, in Volhynia,
the Strypa river and on the Dneister
river, near the frontier of Bessarabia.
1t is admitted by the war office that
not eerywhere have the Russians won,
and that south of Lake Dreswiapy,
the Germans reoaptured trenches that
the Russians had taken the previous
night.
In Galicia, however, to the south
east of Lemburg, the Russians in
flicted heavy losses on the Austrians
