AT THE SPENCER SQUARE.

Here is the story of "A Matrimonial
Martyr" which is given at the Spen-
Ger Square tomorrow: Erma Desmond
lives with her aunt and uncle ON the
latter's large estate on Long Island.
She is in love with Chester Clynch,
but her uncle frowns upon her choice
and the two decide to elope. Mean
while, Mrs Hugo Stanley, wife of a
scientist, and a lady of very irasci
BILE disposition, is holding the fort
against her husband and daughter.
She is in a temper" and her family
fights shy of her.
Erma plans to elope, but balks at
the last minute and decides not to go.
Her uncle, however, learns of her
plans and forbids her to return to
his house.
She goes to the city and takes up
her abode with a friend. Later, she
leaves to accept a position as compan
ion, in answer to an advertisement, in
the home of Mrs. Stanley. The latter
notes the marked likeness between the
maid and herself and hires her. Mrs.
Stanley then, her husband and daugh-
ter having gone off, leaves for a pleas
ure trip, installing Erma as head of
the house and leaving her a check of
large proportions to cover the ex
penses. There is house party in
progress at Stanley's at the time, but
even the guests and servants fail to
recognize Erma as the former en-
ploye. They do note, however, the
change in manner, and are greatly
elated thereat.
But some time later Stanley and
the sutton for his daughters hand to
whom Mrs. Stanley objected return.
Then the daughter comes home from
boarding school, all of which greatly
complexities matters. Stanley falls in

Aledo, Ill, Aug. l.--Aledo's police
force is in a state of collapse today
following the riot of Saturday night
when Chief John Peppers was unmer-
cifully beaten by an irate mob De

Robertson stood counter to the admin
istration's policy of thuggeTy.
Following the riot. which was start
ed by printer who did not relish go
ing to Jail. a mob formed and moved
TO the home of Chief Peppers, where
there was demonstration of noise,
the mob daring Peppers to come out.
But the chief was in no condition to
present himself at that time for DR.
H l.. Walker was holding him down
to put few stitches in his face, which
was badly lacerated in the preceding
melee.
The episode has reached unusual
proportions and threatens to cause
stir which may shake Aledo to it's
foundation. The object of the admin
istration now is to find out who slug
ged Peppers, but it is pretty much of
a case of Who struck Billy Patter-

Was Beating a Drunk.
When Art BerghOff fell intoxicated
upon Seventh street at the Aledo bank
corner Policeman Peppers, upon see
ing him, began to beat him upon the
head with his club. A large crowd of
people being upon the street, as it was
Saturday night, a mob was soon upon
the scene. A number of the men wit
nesses took offense at the manner in
which the policeman was treating the
printer and one of them imme-
diateIy stepped in and struck the po-
liceman a terrific blow which sent him
Keeling to the pavement. Three times
when the latter attempted to arise a
blow sent him back to the pavement in
heap. Jack Robertson, the recently
hired temporary motorcycle cop, was
summoned to the scene and succeeded
in quelling the disturbance only after
he had drawn his revolver. This was
not done, however, until he had re-
ceived one blow upon the head from
Peppers, who was so daZed he did not
know what he was doing.
The disturbance settled, Policeman
Peppers left for his home, leaving the
motorcycle cop to keep order, but he
was only to be followed by the crowd
of trouble makers, who threatened him
with his life II he would come out.
At this stage Peppers was forced
to call the day police and one or two
deputies, who, after considerable argu-
ing, succeeded in dispensing the band
of rioters.
On Monday morning Berghoff was
arraigned before Justice Spence and
charged with drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and paid a fine of IS and costs.
