curious as to the preparations for
his wedding next Sunday to Prin-
cess Hermione of Reuse. With in
genuity and thoroughness he has
contrived to conceal the retreat OF
his little court" from public gaze.
Gossip is rife throughout the viii
lage concerning the enormous
sums the ex-kaiser is said to have
spent in alterations and renova-
tons of Doom house. The front,
/; that is, the side facing the high
way, is now the rear and only the
top stories are visible from the
road, the lower part of the build
ing being hidden by a bank Of
evergreens The grounds are sur
rounded by tall meshed fence
surmounted with barbed wire.
Selected German workmen were
used in. the alterations on the es-
tate to avoid gossip through local
artisans, and the Doom tradesmen
who deal with the ex-kaiser are
lose-mouthed, fearing to lose his
patronage should they drop any in
formation.

place in large area made by re-
moving the partition walls of two

served at one long table decorated
with maiden hair fern and red
roses. The bridal bouquet from

In stating to the public his posi-
ton as a candidate for sheriff,
George H. Richmond of Rock Island
has pledged that il he is elected,
the business of the Office of sheriff
will be directed from the court
house and not from the Rock Island
vice ring. He has joined hands
with the men who are seeking to
uncover any who have been taking
money for protection" of lawless-
ness. Experienced officers can
best cope with men experienced in
lawlessness., and George H. Rich
mond. if elected, will go into the
office with such knowledge of the
Rock Island county situation as
can be obtained only by ripened
experience in public affairs. He is
complete answer to the appeal:
Give us business men in public Of
fice," and his official record is the
proof of it.
