Said COW was found roaming early this

As Mrs. Huffman is quite proud of her

City Treasurer Rice has been devot-

cultivation of vegetables on hereto

gardening. 1t is perfectly safe to make
the assertion that there is no finer gar
den of its kind in Salem, or in the Pa

of the labor has been performed with

Rice has been in the habit of leaving

be willing to donate the hoe if the
thief can be apprehended and compell-

Becomes Mother of a Second
Child Since Then.
Her Husband Swears to the
Latest Complaint.

Elma Kiske, married, % years old,
mother of two little children, said
nothing when officers went to her
house today with an insanity COM
,piaint She said nothing except in re-
pay to questions when she was tried,
but after she was declared insane and
left alone for a moment she slipped
out of the sheriff's office, hurried
down the steps and ran.
L. l. kiene, sheriff, ran after her
He caught her without difficulty. She
offered no resistance.
81 ought to go home to my babies, I"
she murmured. 'I ought to-
But she did not go home to her
babies. They may be grown before
she goes home to them She may
never go back to the home she left
this morning. She was placed in the
county Jail until arrangements can be
made to take her to a state hospital
81 don't like jobs of that kind,'' said
Hugh Larimer, under sheriff, after he
had taken her to the court house 1T
to leave her children. She didn't COM
plain nor make any resistance. But
never saw greater mother-love than
she displayed before we brought her
away"
Mrs. Kiske is the wife of Samuel
Kiske and they live at Twenty-fourth
and Pennsylvania. They are the par
youngest not more than six months of
age. For eighteen months insanity has
been creeping upon the mother. Over
a year ago complaints were made of
her and she was tried in the probate
court. She demanded a jury trial and
the jury found her sane. Her hus-
band was opposed to proceedings at
that time and employed an attorney
to represent her.
Husband SwOre to Complaint.
But the complaint upon which she
was tried today was sworn to by the
husband who testified that he could
stand conditions around his home no
longer. The wife has turned against
him. Her mania is a most peculiar
one 1t relates to their marriage
She doubts that they are legally
married and on more than one occa-
sion has brought her marriage certifi-
cate to the probate judges office and
demanded to know if it were legal.
Right now her peculiar mania re-
lates to her husband. She declares
that besides being married to her he
is married to a negro woman and that
he is the father of twin negro babies.
She appears to be norma on other
matters but she has 10 use for her
husband since she deeloped the pres
ent mania. Before that she was con-
stantly worrying because of fear that
she was not properly married to him.
Mrs. Kiske is a neat ,notherly look
ing young woman. She kept hei- head
bowed and allowed the commission to
conduct the case. But after she was
moed in the Sheriff's office tears
trickled thru the fingers coering her
eyes.

TEST 2-CT. FARE
/. C. C. Holds Illinois Law is a
Discrimination.
Railroads Compelled to Carry
Matter Into Court.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Representatives
OF all railroads operating in I;,inois
are attending a conference here to-
day to discuss advancing passenger
fares between all points in the state to
"a cents mile.
The law in Illinois fixes maximum
OF 2 cents per mile but the interstate
commerce commission recently ruled
that it is a discrimination to charge
higher rates for interstate travel of
equal distance than for state trips
I he discrimination is to be abolished
by advancing state rates. 1t was de-
ciftred the advance in passenger fares
will be in violation of the state stat
ute and will therefore involve the
question of state rights. The Illinois

IS WARS SPHINX
Rumania's Intentions Are
Shrouded in Mystery.
Allies Use Beautiful Women
and Gold to Win Her.

Berlin, Aug. 2s.-Beautiful women
and huge sums of money are being
used by the Allies in the great diplo-
matte battle being waged at Bucha-
rest, the Allies seeking to bring Ru-
mania into the war.
A distinguished German diplomat,
whose name was not revealed, maoe
this charge through the semi-official
German news agency today. But De
spite the Allies efforts, Rumania is
yet undecided, he said, adding:
"Rumania's attitude is due to her
geographical situation. The country is
virtually surrounded by belligerents-
Rumanian statesmen therefore are
guided by the desire to spare their
country the injury which would be un-
avoidable, if it were to become a
theatre of war.
Uses Money LavishIy.
"Since the beginning of the present
confederation the entente powers, par
ticularly Russia, have. been extremely
active in Rumania. The country is
flooded with Russian agents and spies
of all descriptions. The entente uses
money lavishly to bribe politicians and
influence the press. This agitation
reached it's height at the beginning OF
the last Russian offensive. At the same
time the entente announced that an
OI1enSlNe MOoiQ OO
urated on the Macedonian front-a
move purely for political purposes
Now the sudden and successful Bull
garian advance has brought quick
change in the situation and the Rus
sian offensive also apparently is slack
ening.
AT present Rumania is still unde-
cided. She probably will not give up
her adroit policy of neutrality. which
up to the present time has given her
an enormous gain in power. unless she
believes that the really decisive turn
in the war has been reached Mean
while trade relations between Ruman-
ia and the central powers continue to
be normal and active.
"Rumania has been a sphinx and is
shrouded in a mysterious veil behind
which political passion and agitation
not only of the Rumanians but of the
entente agents reach their highest
pitch.'

board today issued a warning to farm
ers that solicitors are busy in several

by farmers who desire loans.
THE representation by any person
that any organization is now offering
to make loans by authority of the

nagan, land any attempt to collect
money under such representation is
fraudulent and is punishable by fine
and imprisonment
