:ot the, letter pi'lntod today has al
ways been regarded as a man of
rectitude in general business nffnln;
one liberal in doing his part In civic
matters, and there is no reason to

It IS not judicious to ba too haMy
in conclusions, as tlpfe could hard'

There Is a highly educated and
roflnod Jady' of Oerman birth and
residence in this community, who
has numerous near relatives - with
the armies of the kaiser. It would
be the most unnatural thing In tho

doepest solicitude, for their wolfnra
and snfoty, and nt' the some time
she is one of those who realign that
