At the Black Hawk.

Way back in the early days of
the world when sirens were I'M
known by that word women were
wont to be tickle hearted. Their
vanity was touched when they
found themselves pursued by more
thar one sweetheart.
How modern siren bangles
mems hearts at the tips of her fin
gers. fights off her suitors and
eventually gets the man of her
choice is depicted in the latest
Theda Bara Super-prOductiOn
"The She Devil" to be presented
by William Fox. at the Black
Hawk theatre today.
Theda Bara, the well-known
screen siren, was never seen to
better advantage than in her latest
production. She plays the role OF
a Spanish Juanita, one of those
languid, dreamy sylph-like women
of sunny Spain.

young society woman who has no
money and who tries to get along
by bluffing, is coming to the Ri

ton, and she is supported by a
super-eXcellent cast. Appearing
with Miss Elvidge are Irving Cum

them splendid opportunities for the
display of their talents.
THE Buffer" was written by
Clara S. Beranger, who has pen
ned number of the World sue
cesses and who has written sue
cesses for other companies as well,
and it is one of the very best pro-
auctions that she has ever turned
out. 1t is an ideal vehicle for beau
tiful Miss Elvidge.
One of the things about 1.-The
Buffer" that will particularly APP
peal to the feminine theatregoers
is the fact that it presents a won
derful display of gowns. Miss Ell
vidge wears some of the very lat
est gowns and hats.
An elaborate staging has been
given The Buffer" and the out
door scenes are beautiful and at
tractive. From all angles it is a
pleasing, interesting, entertaining
production, and it will make a hit
with all theatregoers who like

The Hrachowsky Case.

Rev. Francis Hrachowsky, who at
one time lived at Page, this, county,
where he occupied summer cottage
and who was arrested in Seattle liv-
ing under the name of Holt, was on
Monday arraigned before Judge Mont
gomery on charge of embezzling
$3.50 from Mrs. Mary Remarcke, a
former member Of his congregation
at st. Cyril Catholic church, Minneap-
oils. He entered a plea Of not guilty
and asked that his case be continued.
When $4,000 bail was asked by the
county attorney his counsel remon-
strated. The county attorney in
formed the court that several other
charges involving approximately $5,-
900 will be presented to the grand
jury at it's next session and that posi-
bly, cases involving more than that
amount will be placed against Hrach-
ovsky.
Judge Montgomery upheld the re-
quest of the county attorney and the
prisoner was sent to the city Jail.
The grand jury yesterday indicted
Hrachowsky on several counts.

Andrew Carnegie Dead.


Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate and
philanthropist, died suddenly at his
summer home, Lenox, Mass, on Mon
day morning, aged "a years. Death
resulted from bronchial pneumonia.
His wife and one daughter survive
him. He was born in Scotland and
came to America with his parents,
who were almost destitute, in 1848.
Andrew and his father found work in
a cotton factory at Allegheny, the
boys wages being $1.20 per week. At
IA he became telegraph messenger,
then an operator. He gradually
climbed up the ladder of fame from
one post to another, investing in rail
road and oil stocks, and eventually
started the Keystone Iron works, later
branching out and manufacturing iron
work of every description until he
amassed a fortune second only to
that Of Rockefeller.
Many years ago he became i'm
pressed with the idea that it was a
crime to hold so much wealth and
commenced giving it away. It is esti-
mated that up to the time Of his death
he gave $3.50, 100000 for philanthropic
purposes, including the establishment
of libraries, and virtually made so
millionaires.

The CAMPAIGN IS ON.
Indications That Salvation Army Quo
ia of $1,000 in County Will
Be Oversubscribed.
Fund Will Be Utilized for Mantle
nance of Many Humanitarian
Institutions in Country.

The Salvation army commenced its
drive for it's home service fund on
Sunday and the campaign will close on
August 10. It was stated in last
weeks Union that the quota for Mile
Laos county would be $1,400, but, in
consequence Of the fre-stricken VIC
TINS in the northern. part Of the dis
trict, Chairman E. l.. Mcmillan, con-
sidered it advisable and just to in
crease Mile Laos apportionment 5000,
making an aggregate of $1,000.
The Union believes there will be no
difficulty in raising this amount, as
the Salvation army covered itself with
glory on the European battlefelds by
ministering to the wants Of our boys,
and the purpose for which it is car
rying on this campaign is to maintain
rescue homes for unfortunate girls,
day nurseries, homes for the helpless
aged, lodging houses for those who are
down, fresh-air farms, free clinics and
other humanitarian institutions. In
next weeks issue we shall probably
be enabled to give the result of the
campaign in the county and district.
You will never miss the money you
contribute to this worthy cause. Let
your donations be liberal.
The Salvation army was merely car
rying out the spirit which has always
actuated it when its men and it's wo-
men took their places side by side
with the armed soldiers of their coun-
try, shared the privations and suffer-
ings of those soldiers, and permitted
neither labor nor danger to stand in
the way of their ministrations to those
who were cold, hungry, weary and de-
spondent.
To many Of US the public routine
work of the Salvation army has been
something strange and grotesque.
Sometimes the street corner meetings
which all of us have witnessed have
brought forth coarse comment from
bystanders. But in the future it will
be we'll for any who are prompted to
offensive testing at the expense of the
Salvation army to make sure there
are none present who wear, or who
have worn, the uniform of the Ameri-
can army, for the sentiment of the
American army is tersely set forth in
the words of the returned soldier who
said, "1'm for the Salvation army
good and strong, and I take off my
hat to poke bonnet wherever I see
one.''

The Attitude of Senator Kellogg.
The following editorial from the st.
Paul Dispatch is splendid tribute to
Senator Kellogg in his attitude on the
league Of nations questions; !
Upon any ground, patriotic or. con-
sentative, it will be difficult to disclose.
flaw in the attitude of Senator Kel--
logg to the league of nations as set
out in his senate speech. He wants:
the peace treaty ratified as promptly.
as possible, SO that war will end, our
boys come home and the world be per
mitted to turn to the pursuits of peace:
There can be no challenge of that.
He favors the league of nations, but
insists upon inserting in the act Of
ratification the expressions necessary
to make its meaning past all doubt.
This is the conservative middle ground
between the extremists on both sides
those who would blipdly ratify
without expression or the change of a
letter and those who would undertake
amendments which might make the re-
submission Of the treaty to the pow
ers necessity.
: There is this quite plain point of
view: If the treaty covenant means
what is claimed for it there can be
no harm in stating in the ratification
act precisely what that meaning is.
II it does not mean what it says, then
the reservations declaring our inter-
probation and the extent to which we
will be obligated are both wise and
necessary. This is all that Senator
Kellogg proposes shall be done. WHY
should any friend Of the treaty oppose
this?
1t has. been sufficiently established
that none of the great signatory pow
ers will object to the reservations in
the form and terms proposed; that
none will regard them in the light of
amendments requiring concurrence in
a formal way. In view of this and i'm
consideration of the Importance of dis
posing of the subject and clearing the
decks at Washington for pressing do
nestle questions, what earthly reason
is there for a delay Of two months
particularly when it is inevitable that
this sane middle course must prevail
in the end?

Pay Your Quota Now.

The cemetery fund, collected by the
Civic Betterment club, has not suffi-
Gent money in it to carry on the work
for the remainder of the season, which
means that many of the lot owners
have neglected to pay; in their share.
Only about one-third of the lot own
ers responded to the notices that were
sent out early in the season. This
poor response is chiefly due to forget
fuhess, as it is easy to forget a small
obligation. There are really very few.
people who are, small enough to figure
on getting something for nothing-to
deliberately plan to neglect this pay
ment, thinking that for the general
good of the cemetery their property
will be cared for. There are, however,
a few of just this description. There
are also few who are Indifferent
who do not care whether the last rest
ing places of those once dear to them
are slightly places or are overgrown
with weeds. But the majority of peo-
pie wish the cemetery to be a place of
beauty.
A second installment of notices is
being sent out this week, and it is
hoped that the returns will typify the
true spirit Of the community to which
neglected cemetery should be dis
grace.

The SEASON OPENS
Marked Degree of Activity is Shown
in Princeton Potato Market
During Past Week.
Prices Run From $3.50 per Cwt., and
Growers Are Marketing Con-
siderable Quantities.

This week Princeton's potato market
has been particularly active for so
early in the season although only
about one-fourth of the warehouses
have opened up for business. Far
mers, in consequence perhaps of the
high prices prevailing, have managed
to squeeze out sufficient time from
their other labors to dig considera-
BILE quantity of potatoes, and the firms
which have opened have been kept
busy.
The quality of the potatoes being
marketed-Early Ohios and Cobblers
lis excellent. They are regular in
shape and solid-just the kind for
table use. However, many of them
are not quite ripe and these cannot
consequently be shipped to long dis
tance points.
Not as large an acreage was plant
ed to potatoes this year as last in this
territory and the yield of early spuds
in some sections is satisfactory, while
in others it is poor.
The price paid here during the week
has been $3.50 per cwt., although
some especially good loads brought
more. The prices which obtained at
the opening of last years market in
Princeton were $1.85 to So per cwt.
Indications are that there will be no
low-nriced notatoas this war
