the democratic central committee of
Mercer county:
Whereas, by reason of the fact that
many, and in some cases all, of the

voters of our county, 1t has heretofore
been the practice OF this committee to

such offices should, in the judgment
of the committee, receive the support
of the democratic voters of our county
at primary elections;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that
we endorse and recommend to the dem
Ocratic voters of Mercer county at the
primary election to be held Sept. 10,
1916, the following candidates for the
following offices:
For lieutenant governOr-Henry W.

HAPPY TO RETURN
TO STATE SCHOOL
Little Girl Glad to Go Back to Geneva
TO Get Away From Cruel Father
and Stepmother.
THEY HAD MIsTREATED HER
Released From Institution on Plea of
Parent, He Soon FOrgetS Prom
Uses and Abuses Child.

1t was a happy little girl that was
put in the care of Miss Head, parole
officer Of the Geneva school, this morn
ing after q years absence from the
state institution during which time she
has known little else than cruel treat
ment from an untatherly father and a
stepmother. For the sake OF shielding
the future life and reputation of the
child her name IS not being used.
When she was II years old she was
first sent TO the state school at Geneva,
where she soon gained the favor OF the
attendants at the institution and where
she was regarded as too fine little
girl TO be kept there. She had been
there two years when her father asked
for custody of his child, having in the
meantime taken a second wife and
promising TO give his daughter a good
home The girl, then 13 years old, was
turned over 10 him.
According to the child and neighbOrs
the miStreatmcnt started Immediately,
and continued day after day for a year.
The case came 10 the attention OF
the police matron of Rock Island and
she kept in close touch with the mat
ter thereafter, not being fully decided
upon what to do with the child, and
not wishing to return her to the state
home If anything better could be Sc
cured for her. The climax came last
Thursday and the police matron decid-
ed TO delay no longer She notified the
Geneva authorities Thursday afternoon.
The little girl attempting to beautify
her bare and skinny room, had painted
some pictures herself and was putting
them up when her stepmOther appeared
and ordered her to clear out" 1t
seems the child did not comply with
the command promptly enough to suit
her and the woman proceeded TO knock
her down and then kicked her in the
stomach after she was down. This not

RUMANIA is WAR
TOPIC OF PRINCE
Leopold of Bavaria Tells Associated
Press Man Little Kingdom Can
Make No Difference.

Headquarters Of the commander-in-
chief of the German armies in the east,
Monday Sept. 4, (via Berlin and Lon
don, Sept. 5, 1875 p. INFLOW little
Rumania's entrance in the war worries
those in command of the German east
ern armies was indicated today when
Prince Leopold of Bavaria said
to The Associated Press correspond
ent:
THE Rumanians have placed them
selves in very bad position. They will
get their whacks, you may be sure, ami
if others come in they will get their
whacks, too"
The prince was replying to a ques-
ton regarding the possible or prob
able effect of Rumania's declaration Of
war. In replying Prince Leopold drop
ped the almost benign attitude he had
displayed throughout the interview
the first granted to a correspondent
since his promotion to the command
formerly held by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. His eyes snapped al
most angrily, his voice became hard
and sharp.
In a moment, however, he dropped
this topic and returned to questioning
his visitors about the trip they had
just completed along the Russo-Ger-
anovichi, admittedly one of the most
strategic points in relation to past as
well as future offensives.
The princes expression of complete
confidence that Rumania would be de-
feated was in the nature of a climax
TO countless declarations of belief from
other officers that Russia would never
be able to effect any important break
in the German lines The correspond
ent was permitted to make an exhaus-
tive inspection of miles Of trenches
which are more like fortresses than
onything else. They surpass any other
Notifications the correspondent had
seen during many trips to the eastern
and western fronts.
Prince Leopold did not look his sew
onty-odd years when he received the
small group of visitors at his head
quarters. He greeted each one with d
firm handshake, made minute inquir-
les regarding the newspapers repre-
sented by each, and with a smile told
the two Americans the United States
was delivering too much ammunition
to Germany's opponents. He expressed |
the hope of "a more friendly attitude |!
among neutrals toward Germany"
Prince Leopold complimented tha |
Russian soldiers, particularly their |
III iHS pIlilAC SdIu he lOpSu luS
correspondents, as a result Of their |
trip along the Baranovitchi front, had !
been able to gain in some degree his |
conviction that the Russians never !
would be able to break through at any
point on the entire eastern line.
After the interview with the prince
his chief of staff, Colonel Hoffman,,
took up the eastern situation in de-
tail.
'Rumania's entrance" Colonel Hoff-
mann continued, probably will mean
of the war. 1t certainly
will mean that the entente will take
again. But it is unthinkab Bile
that it will affect the eventual outcome
1T is probable that Russian troops
were admitted to Rumania weeks ago,
in violation of neutrality, but we are
not worried in the slightest degree"
The colonel declared that the Ru-
manian advances thus far have been
and will soon come to Il
