ST. PAUL, Aug 30.—Application In
rhyme for parole from the State re

8. Harold Nielson, of Chicago. j
A yearning for Chicago, where, the ] Belleville,

Boms of the verses, evidently the
culmination of the poetical outburst,
which the author had underscored,

THER’S
WIDOW TO KEEP IGOES TO EUROPE
LI
This morning, when I heard the bell
In my dreary cell,
I was thinking of the day I am to go
To dear old Shlc-ca go.
I am now but twenty years.
Have never touched one or two beers.
Hare never smoked a cigarette.
I am my parents' only pet.
I am thinking of a man whs has a
heart.
And that is Governor FTberhart,
Wondering If he would please give me
my release
Or let me suffer behind the bars to
aqtieese.
AU I pray for Is but a chance
To show that I can fit the law's pants.
I want to be in the State of Illinois,
That Is where I was raised when but

Unless other prisoners object. It
was stated, Nielsons efforts will be

BELLEVILLE, ILL., Aug 30.—The
brothers Grass. Alois and Otto, back
were Inseparable, twenty years ago,
were insparable. "What one haa the
other shall have, share and share
alike,” was the principle they ob
served.
But little towns in Germany do not
pren* nt many opportunities for strong
young men, and it was decided that
Alois, the older, could better contrib
ute to the support of the Grass par
ents by seeking hlw fortune in the
New World.
When Alois Grass left, he and his
brother agreed that affection and the
old compact should exist Unchanged
Should either one be beset by bad
luck or illness, all the other had was
to be his ns he needed. In particu
lar, after they had married and got
families, should one die, the other
was to give assistance and keep wid
ow and children from want.
Alois reached the wonderful New
World nnd after several years of
knocking aboti settled near Belleville.
He married nnd managed to buy a
little farm Six children were born.
Brother Otto also married and sev
en little ones added glory to the
name of Grass.
Two months ago word came from
Otto’s widow that he had died sud
denly. Then, six weeks ago, Alois
was made a widower Shortly after
ward a matronly German woman,
accompanied by iieion stalwart chil
dren, arrived here, Alois Grass met
them at the eta*ion. Vfrm. Otto Grass
became Mrs Aide Grass, and now
there are thirteen Grass cousins to

Denver to Enjoy Fruits of
Her Ventures.
DENVER Aug. 30.—Mrs. Lena Stol
ber-Reed, the most successful woman
mining operator in the world, has quit
this city to make her home In Europe
and enjoy the million she has made
In mining
She Is credited with "cleaning up"
a fortune from the celebrated Silver
Lakes group of mines in the San Juan
field. Western Colorado. Her firs*
husband had turned to this field when
the gold excitement was at Its height
there about twenty years ago. In
order to "help out" his wife kept
boarders, and when the group of pros
pects was secured, assisted In the
active work of development. She soon
became a familiar figure in the West
ern mining world.
She thought nothing of donning
miner’s attire and working with the
men In the mine when she deemed it
nece‘*sary to assist Mr. Stober In
overseeing the work personally. The
mines were located In a high and
almost Inaccessible part of the San
Juan Mountains.
After she had made a big fortune
at mining. Mrs. Stolber turned to
Denver, where she made, a social con
quest of the Colorado capital. Mr.
Stolber died and a few years ago hid
widow married Hugh Reed, a Pacific
Coast capitalist. Mr. Reed went down
with the Titanic
Another sueceF'sfuI mining operator
is Miss O. L. Granfleld, a slender,
dark-eyed young woman, who lives at
one of the big hotels In Colorado
Springs, and who would be taken for
a society woman intent on nothing
hut pleasure rather than president of
one of the biggest mines in Cripple
(’reek.
Judge Believes in
Newspaper Veracity
Indiana Jurist Also Has Found Re
porters To Be Nice
Young Men.
MUNCIE, IND., Aug. 30.—"I said in
open court, and the statement was
published In the newspapers, that all
these ‘blind tiger* cases were set for
trial.” said Judge W. A. Thompson, of
the Circuit Court, addressing an at
torney for one of the accused meu,
who said yesterday that he thought
his client’s case was not to come up
until Thursday.
"Do you believe everything you read
In the newspapers?” asked Prosecut
ing Attorney J. Frank Mann.
"Every little thing." Responded the
court. "I believe the newspapers to
be truthful and their representatives
to be truthful. The reporters I hay *
always found to be clean, nice young
men.”

Ye Ancient Eggs
Taste Extra Fine
Swiss Poultry Ranchers Preserve
Product for Nine Months With
New Preparation.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—What Is
believed to be a satisfactory agent for
the proper preservation of eggs has
been brought to the attention of the
Agricultural Department through Con
sul General Mansfield at Zurich. The
new preservative ih called "Ovo Con
servator” and oonnist of a prepared
liquid of adhesive character, the ingre
dients of which may be easily and
cheaply obtained.
It is claimed the new method will
preserve the egg for nine months with
out appreciable injury to its freshness,
weighL transparency, appearance, smell
or taste.
Appeals for Men and Women Is
Made From Every State to
Immigration Officials
From every State in the Union,
from every city and hamlet, an ap-'
peal has been raised to the immigra
tion officials of the country for un
skilled labor. According to a relia
ble expert estimate Just made, 1,000,-
000 immigrants could be brought Into
the United States within the next six
months and the demand could scarce
ly be met.
The coal and coke fields of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and
Indiana alone could give employment
to from 75,000 to 100.000 additional
men. Joseph P. Dowling, inspector
of the United States Department of
Labor, declares that laborers are
scarcer to-day in the United States
than ever before in history.
In spite of the increase in the num
ber of immigrants during 1913, almost
twice as many could find employment
at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents
per hour.
Mines Are Short Handed.
In Houghton, Michigan, and all
through the Lake Superior mining
district, operations arc- being delayed
for want of miners. From Jackson
ville, Fla., comes the loudest wall. All
the native negroes have come North,
attracted by high wages, and now
Jacksonville has been forced to im
port negroes from South Carolina and
Italians to complete work that has
already been started.
Not only are men wanted in Ameri
ca. but women, roo. At Reading and
York, Pa., hundreds of women imml- :
grants would be welcomed to work j
in the textile mills and cigar fac
tories, while Providence, R. I., New'
Bedford and Fall River are also ap
pealing for women to work in the
textile mills. Throughout the coun
try, from coast to coast, thousands
of women could find employment at
attractive wages as domestic serv
ants.
The famous Pittsburg district and
the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and
Texas are probably most seriously af
fected by the shortage of unskilled
labor. The iron and steel mills of
Pittsburg w'ant ID.000 men, while an
other 10,000 are needed in Pittsburg
proper on building operations. The
output of the Connellsville coke fields
has been reduced 25 per cent. The
coal mines about Pittsburg are run
ning 50 per cent short.
Farmers Need Thousands.
In West Virginia and V irginia the
coal mines are running half time as
a result of insufficient labor, w'hlle
the same condition prevails in the
Ohio coal mines.
Harvesting the enormous crops In
Kansas and adjoining States Is being
seriously interfered with. Kansas
calls in vain for 25,000 men. Arizona*
too, wants farm hands, and even Del
aware has sent an urgent appeal for
men to work in the harvest fields.
The railroads are in almost as seri
ous a predicament as th<- farmers.
The enormous crops and the work
required to move them, the extensive
improvements being made by rail
roads throughout the country *nd the
damage done by floods In the Middle
West, all have been factors. But prob
ably more Important than all has
been the generally Improved busi
ness conditions which have made
places for every unemployed man and
woman.

THE RECORD
By special order of the ("Secretary of War an offi
cer o«f the United States Army Is to be detailed for
service at Riverside Military Academy.
The approval for this detail follow* speedily
the recommendation of Major B. F. Hardaway, Sec-
enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson,
who made the Inspection by special order of the 11 ar
Department carlv tn July.
This detail carries with it the complete equip
ment of modern rifles, dress and service accouter
ments, haversacks, canteens and mess equipment as
used by the United States Army.
Also artillery and cavalry equipment for dis
mounted service.
The uniforms of the Riverside cadets are identi
cal with those of the West Point cadets, and are fit
ted to the figure of each cadet by military tailors at
Riverside Military Academy. In this respect, River
side stands alone among the Southern preparatory
schools.
THE RECOMMENDATION
Tn July of this year a request was made upon the War De
partment for an army officer to be detailed for service with the
Riverside cadets.
Copies of the current catalogue and a complete description
of the campus, location, surroundings, physical equipment and
faculty were furnished.
This so impressed the War Department that notwithstanding
the annual inspection of academies and schools applying for such
recognition is made only in April, a SPECIAL INSPECTION was
ordered immediately, and Major Hardaway was detailed for this
service.
He was so impressed with the location of Riverside, two miles
ont of Gainesville—connected by trolley—in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River,
with lake Warner on its 2,000-acre campus, that he wrote in
strong praise of its magnificent natural advantages and wonder
ful possibilities.
He was greatly impressed with the opportunities afforded for
indoor gallery practice, long range sharpshooting adjacent to the
sc-hool, the maneuvering grounds, bridge building, pontoon work,
swimming, boating and other arts of modern warfare, all on or at
the campus.
The physical equipment, with its well lighted, perfectly ven
tilated and modemlv equipped barracks, mess hall, class rooms
and gymnasium, so enthused him that his comments on these fea
tures in his report caused the War Department to take immediate
action and announce the approval and detail.
THE REASON
Riverside possesses all the requisites of an ideal
military school. In addition to the superior advan
tages named, Riverside has:
1. An Accomplished Faculty—An instructor of
successful experience for every twelve boys. No
cadet’s room more than three doors from teacher.
2. Wholesome Atmosphere—Two miles out in
the hills, with ideal quietude for study, yet enjoy
ing the cultured influences of the refined and in
tellectual city of Gainesville.
3. Superior Athletics—Only best coaches and
trainers employed. Every boy given opportunity
to participate. Three and four teams in eaeh sport,
coached by members of faculty.
4. Individual Instruction—All the courses of
fered by any preparatory school and taught thor
oughly.
5. Inspection Invited—The most complete
boys’school in the South. Parents and prospective
patrons urged to visit academy.
