MILLIONS SPENT IN VIENNA
Money So Plentiful in Austria Ameri-
cans Are outbid for objets
dart.

Vienna, Austria.-The astounding
amount of ready money circulating in
Austria was Illustrated by the recently
concluded sale of the rare furnishings
of Klessheim palace, one of the resi-
dences of the Archduke Ludwig Vic
tor 1t netted many million crowns
and the newspapers say the purchasers
were virtually all newly rich Viennese.
Many professional collectors and
buyers from France, Great Britain
and the United States came here for
the sale but declared they could not
compete with native bidders, WHO ran
prices up into millions as nonchalant-
ly as if bidding in hundreds. Dollars,
pounds and francs, they said, were
out of the running. Several rare Gobe-.
linS brought from 100000 to 10000
crowns each.
The Vienna Derby just run was an
other illustration of the money pleni-
tude. About 10000 persons attended,
and the receipts of the betting machines
alone was 100000 crowns.

is HERMIT 80 YEARS
Man Visits City for First Time
and Sees First Woman.
Swift Change Comes and He Imme-
diately Sheds His Whiskers and
Buys Store Clothes.

Omaha.-Tracy ellis. older than
Brigham Young when he took his
third wife, has just let his eyes first
see a woman. He also has had his
first remembered view OF a railroad
train, a street car, daily newspaper
and a fiction magazine
Upon seeing a woman for the first
time, ellis visited a barber shop and
had his long hair cut and his face
shaved.
ellis is thirty-three years old. He
was born in Chicago. His mother was
an actress and his father a disciple
of Moody and Sankey. But for third
of a century father and son, their
Bible open to the chapter which tells
of John the Baptist dwelling in the
wilderness, have lived alone on a west
ern Nebraska ranch 40 miles from
railroad, with no stranger stopping
within its fence posts.
George Willis, the father, died re-
Gently, two years short of the four
score and ten which he believed that
had been promised to him. Tracy, the
son, buried the body on the ranch and
went on with his farm work. Today
he came to Omaha on his pioneer jour-
ney with a load of cattle.
According to the young mans tale,
the older ellis trafficked, with his
neighboring farmers only on their
property and never on his own, for
fear his sons ears should pick up
hints of civilization. The father fed
to the West with his son to save him
from the dancing, singing actresses
in Chicago's old Haymarket theater.
"a devil turks on every city street
corner, father taught me-" Tracy ellis
said today HE told me the sad story
of my mother and warned me to avoid
all sinful men,"
With the money from the sale of his
cattle ellis changed his home made
garments for a suit of store clothes.
He also bought safety razor, a tube
of tooth paste and two silk neckties,

of the city has demoralized him. In

secluded farm, he mentions wife and

Speaking of reputation, we noticed
the other day an English newspaper
which said the former Confederate
States had repudiated about, four
hundred million dollars they owed to
England, and which should be counted
OF the British debt to America. This
opinion about the Confederate debt
seems to prevail in England to a
large extent The truth is that the
Confederate States did not repudiate
a dollar of their debt. When the civil
war ended the Confederacy was a ra-
ton no longer, and the United States
forbade the conquered territory to re-
pay the money it had borrowed. The
British took gamble when they loan
ed the Confederaey money or trusted
it for supplies. for their own govern
ment never recognized the Confed-
crate States as a nation. We daresay
the British got their money back,
with interest however, for at the be-
ginning of the civil war American
ships were competing with the Eng

We have heard considerable talk
about the street markers being put up
on the public square. Up to this time
they have been made of wood, or con-
crete followed at the base, the care
less and reckless have paid little at
tention to them, and possibly a few
have taken delight in knocking them
about. There are always few bright
boys who like to amuse themselves
destroying property their daddies
must pay taxes to keep up. These
new markers, with lights on their
tops, will be too plainly in sight for
any sober person to hit And they
won't seriously damage any car that
is inside the speed limit when it hits
them. If any driver running his car
at ten miles an hour, as is frequently
done on the square, hits or even tries
to bounce off one of the new markers,
he and his car will be wreck. There
need be no doubt that the city gov
eminent has right to put the mark
ers up. They are put up for orna-
ment of the city and the protection of
the people, there is plenty of space
around them and no necessity for any
car coming in yard of any one of
them.

The Alabama that was sunk off
Tangier Island Monday, while being
used as a target, was named after a
fighting state, but she was built,
plowed the seas for years and never
fired gun except in practice or salute.
There was a little Alabama sunk off
Cherbourg by the Kearsarge, ship
of superior force in 1864, that sailed
the seas only few months, but in
that time did more harm than any
half dozen ships the German navy
ever set af1oat. Strangest of all, a
new Alabama and a new Kearsarge
were built and launched by the two
nations again welded into one, and
sailed the seas together under the
same flag.

BLAZING CROW FIRES FIELD
Bird Killed by Live Wire Falls Into
Hay Causing Loss of Several
Hundred Dollars.

Rochester, n. "A crow alighted on
a heavily charged electric wire of the
Niagara Power company and was in
stantly killed, falling a blazing mass
into a field of uncut hay belonging TO
Hobart Stahl. near Spencerport, eight
miles from here.
The field caught fire, causing loss
of several hundred dollars, and for
time threatened adjoining wheat fields
whose uncut crops are estimated TO
be worth several thousands.
The Spencerport Chemical company
made the three-mile run to the Stahl
place and prevented further damage.

Lloyd George, people say, writes as
many notes to the Shin Fame as Will

But it should be remembered that
Wilson finally used up his notepaper,
after which things moved SO fast
that Germany saw nothing but one
long, wide streak of starred and strip
ed lightning. Some friend of the Shin
Fame should look into Lloyd Georges
portfolio and see how. many sheets
of notepaper are left.

THE OKLAWAHA CASE

Editor News: have noted with
much interest the "Ocala Star Re-
lents," reproduction of an editorial
issued in the Star, Tuesday, Sept. 20.
ard desire space in your paper to
comment on same as follows:
Regarding the back taxes due by
the Oklawaha Valley railroad, espe-
cially for the benefit of the Stars
feeble understanding, wish to say
that the court only ordered that Re-
ceiver Cummings pay operating ex-
penses alone, and has nothing what
ever to do with paying the state and
county taxes. The procedure now ex-
listing is in no wise due to neglect or
fault on the part of the receiver or its
management.
The erroneous and absurd reflection
which is made upon the management
of the Oklawaha Valley railroad for
the past four years is ridiculous; espe-
cially so, to those who are familiar
with the facts surrounding the situa-
ton. 1t is admitted in this editorial
that the road some years ago did not,
or could not, pay expenses and that
il was of little service to the public.
Possibly this is true; but now, that it
is in the hands of proven competent
receiver and successful manager, who
to my own personal knowledge is an
honest, upright Christian gentleman,
who has pulled it through during the
last four years to serviceable and
paying proposition which automati-
cally diverts into real asset to the
counties through which it operates,
few of the thin-head pests in the
country can now think of nothing but
JUNK" If they were on a little
farm near Fort Mccoy or Orange
Springs with no available way to mar
ket their produce to provide bread for
their dependent wives and babies, they
would view the condition in different
light.
1t also refers to an old brother who
was among the delegation that visit
ed the Star on Monday in the interest
of the schools. / don't know who this
brother was but it can naturally be
supposed that he was one of the good
citizens prompted by the welfare of
his section to open the brain of the
aSTAR" to a little sense of reason
but failed.
1t is further intimated in this edi-
torial that Receiver Cummings is a
tax dodger and has been dishonest
receiver. To this am frank to say
for the benefit of the public, that the
author of such charge carelessly
takes it upon himself to do so, basing
| the same upon a mere imagination, or
grudge against the receiver for some
unwarranted cause-H. G. Kennedy,
in Palatka News.
Well, we are real glad our friend
the News printed the foregoing and
that Friend Kennedy got it off his
chest. We don't suppose he was in
| the party that called on US last week,
for they didn't seem mad when they
came, and a good many of them shook
hands with US when they went away.
At that time we offered them full
space to set forth their side of the
question, and they promised US to
send in a letter-but it hasn't arrived
yet.

Records made by members Of the
Mt Vernon Rifle & Revolver club at
their weekly competition shoot on
Friday evening were notable for the
fact that six of the seven men shoot
ing made scores better than 100.
The competition was further excep'
tional in that, save one instance,
those shooting over 100 were separat.
ed from one another by but one point.
McMillen was the high man shoot.
ing total of 1913 or three points bet.
ter than the score made by his near.
est competitor. Pipes, who is credited
with 1876. Following Pipes Russell
was one point lower, with 1874: Sevets
was one point below Russell with 1893
with QuidOr following another point
lower with 1872, and c. VanVoOrhis q
point below Quidor with 191.
Jackson made the low score Of the
evening, 142. This is explained by
that he has not been shooting regu
larly and has been coming to the clut
shoots so infrequently that he is quite
out of practice.

COMMUNICATION
AZ TO BOARD OF EDUCATION

Mt. Vernon, o., Nov. 2, 192l.
Editor The Banner,
Mt. Vernon, o.
Dear Sir:
Relieving that but a few of the vot-
ers are aware of the fact that there Is
to be three members of the county
board of education to be elected by
popular vote this fall, we would be
glad to have you print the following:
At the coming November election
three members of the Knox county
board of education will be elected by
popular vote under new law passed
by the last General Assembly. Here
tofore members of the county board
have been selected by the presidents
of the various local boards Of educa-
ton of the county school district.
Doubtless most of our citizens knew
whom the present members are and
what sections of the county they rep
resent, but for those who may not
know the present members and the
sections from which they come they
are given below
DR.. ]. f. Shrontz, Martinsburg.
Jasper VanHorn, Centerburg.
f. B. Levering, Fredericktown.
j. r. Drake, Howard township.
Theodore Mcmillan, Clinton town
ship.
On observing the location Of the
above members one will readily see
that they are fairly well distributed
over the county. 1t seems that coun-
ty board should be composed, other
things being equal of members from
the various sections of the county.
The men whose places will be filed
next Tuesday at the general election
are Messrs. Shrontz, Van Horn and
Levering. Below are given the names
and locations of the candidates for
