LINCOLN. March 11.- Special. War en
thusiasts in the city of Lincoln, led by
Colonel John Maher and Judge I'. J. Cos-
grove Hie planning to form a crack regi
ment of Nehrsskaus to ro to the front If
anything develop In the Mexican situa
tion. At a riveting of the Spsnish War
Veterans and member" of the Grand
Army of the republic, he'd last night, tho
Idea aaa sprung, and during the day haa
been growing In favor, among tha young
men In trie city who have s-en service or
a ho have wanted to aee active work In
the field.
The Idea of Colonel Maher la to take
Into the ranks of this regiment of Ns
braska's finest only experienced and war
hardened men who a ill be aura of ac
quitting themselves creditably In any slt
uation and In no danger of falling in a
critical moment.
Mayor Love, entering actively into the
campaign for the re-election, nan Issued a
platform staling his view, lie upholds the
present excise policy of the city and states
hi reason for believing it lias been vt
benefit to the city. He says, In part:
As I am a candidate fur re-election to
the office of mayor of the city of Lincoln,
It may be proper to review briefly my
poaltlon on the subjects of public Interest
to the people of the city at tills time.
I waa elected to the office o mayor two
years ago at tue time when, by a vote of
the people, a law win enacted which for
ade tha liutnce of llrenaea in thla city
for the aaie of intoxicating Honors. 1 did
rot think it desirable to submit the ques
tion of that time, believing that gradual
restriction was a better way to handle
the question. Nevertheless, tue no-llcenae
policy was carried by a substantial ma
jority, and It became my duty. In con
nection with 1 lie other members of the
excise board, to enforce that law. I be
lieve we have done so to the best of our
ability. We have undoubbtedly made soma
mistakes. We have been aa conscious of
hat fact as anyone, but our purpose has
en to enforce the law fairly and Im
partially and to make effective the wish
of the people aa expressed at the polls.
Until that verdict of the people is re
versed at the polls, I believe it Is the duty
of any public official to respect It and to
fairly and efficiently enorce It.
I am now firmly convinced that the
best Interests of our city demand that
we continue our present policy, and to that
end I shall do all 1 can to maintain fne
present policy as the permanent policy of
our city. However, If the people should
decide to grant a limited number of
licenses, I should feel Just as much bound
to follow that law airly and reasonably,
and to enorce It, as 1 do the present law.
City Payi Fifty-Five Thousand Dol

ALLIANCE, Neb. March 11. (Special. 1
The controversy between the city of Alli
ance and the Electric I.laht and Power
company has now been finally settled by
the city taking over the plant for -.,
tha city to take possession on tha 15th
Instant.
W arrants will be Issued for HO and
the balame of .lj.CXO will be paid in three
annual Installments of j.Ot each.
The settlement came as a great surprise,
owing to the fact that after refusing the
city's first offer the matter was placed
In the hands of a board of appraisers,
which waa satisfactory to both parties,
this board awarding the company STS.OOn,
and aa the city refused to pay that amount
the company caused" papera to be prepared
with a view to bringing ault. aa according
to the franchise agreement the city waa
obliged to purchase at the price set by the
board of arbitration.
On Sunday Mr. Locke, president of the
company, arrived here and on Monday the
city made another offer of 42.x. later
raising the offer to and VYl.OOD.
The company, however, refused to con
sider any offer under tSS.OOO, at which fig
ure the company originally offered to sell
the plant. After some further dickering
the city council saw that any attempt to
lower this figure would be futile and took
the plant for 155,000.
Although light and power will not Imme
diately decline In price, the plant earns
over llO.OuO per annum, and after some
needed improvements the taxpayers will
receive the benefit of theae earninga.

the councllmen the city haa been sparring
for some time with the light people In
order to make them concede certain points
that would be to the city's Interests and
this latest mode of procedure was adopted
In order to bring them to time.

NEW TORK, starch ll.-Bpeclal Tele
gram.) The mystery that has cloaked the
relations of Madams Emma Calve and
Alnor Oaspari, the Florentine tenor, was
cleared up today, when they sailed on the
American liner St. Paul, admitting that
they bad been man and wife for a year.
Tbey were married in Marseilles. France,
laat March, but kept their union a secret,
save from their most Intimate friends.
All sorts of rumors and scandals fol
lowed them on their honeymoon tour of
the world, but they maintained an un
broken silence. Even upon sailing today
they were entered on the paasenger list as
Emma Calve and Alnor Oaspari. no men
tion being made of their relations aa man
and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaspart have been In New
York a week. Upon their arrival here
they went to the Hotel Plasa, where they
registered separately and were provided
with separate suites. They spent most of
their time away from the hotel and at the
home of Jessie Berno Baskervllle, the
Metropolitan opera bouse coach.
Miss Baskervllle knew that they were
married, but respected their wishes In
maintaining the secret. BeveraJ other Inti
mate friends of the couple, who discussed
the marriage today said that Calve and
Gaspart had maintained the silence for
professional reasons.
Wife Bays the Tickets.
All artists of their standing In the
operatlo world do not like to Intrude their
maritai relations before the public.
Miss Baskervllle purchased the steam
ship tickets for the honeymooning couple
and at their request had their nam? en
tered separately on the passenger list
They did not board the St. Paul until al
most the last minute. Then the bride hur
ried to her state room and locked herself
In. Oaspari stood guard at the door.
When approached, he laughed and said:
"Well, what have you come to learn?"
"I would like to Interview Calve about
her marriage."
"Impossible." cried Gaspart. "She will
see no one."
"Why have you kept your marriage e
secret?'.'
"Ha!" exclaimed Gaspart, "that Is noth
ing." "Why not? But I tell you, Mme. Calve
can aee no one. She a ill sot talk. 1 win
not talk. It ia no uae. What la the dif
ference. Hah: You newspapera are too
curious."
Gaspart la a tall, fine-looking man of
about 36. He has a great bushy head of
hair which he combs back from the fore
head. He haa fine dark eyea and heavy
drooping eyebrows. He has never sung in
this country, but has a big reputation
abroad.
Calve and Gaspart were married in a
little out of the way chapel In the city of
Marseilles. Only two Intimate friends wit
nessed the ceremony, and they were bound
to secrecy. The brlday couple did not re
turn to Parle, but went for a few days to
the beautiful villa that Calve has built at
Montpeller, In the southern part of France.
Then they sailed from Marsalllea for the
Orient shortly after their marriage. They
arrived at San Francisco about two weeks
go. t
It was their original intention to return
from San Francisco to the Orient and get
back to France, via the trans-Siberian rail
road. Important business affaire drew
them to New York. They will go at once
to their country home In Montpeller upon
their arrival In France, but their effort to
keep up the appearance of being single
will end when they disembark from the St.
Paul at Southampton.

LONDON, March 11. (Special Cable
gram.) From the concentration of Ameri
can troops and war ships at points con
tiguous to the Mexlcnn border, Europe is
drawing an extremely broad conclusion,
and one that cannot be modified easily by
diplomatic notes. Summed up In a sen
tence It is this:
The United States Is entering upon a
new stage of national life on the southern
frontier, Just as It ia endeavoring to enter
upen a new stage In the northern frontier
agreement.
Drawn with complacency In certain
parts of Europe, the deduction Is distinctly
unwelcome In other. The general feeling
is that all Europe Is affected profoundly
by the plans for the "manoeuvers," no leas
than by the proposed revision of fiscal
arrangements.
It Is taken for granted that the Wash
ington policy in both matters, as in all
others, will be "no step backward and no
sidestepping."
Tarls Is Sedate.
Paris, which views the situation more
aedately than any other capital of im
portance, thinks, despite the exchange of
"messages for public consumption," be
tween the Taft and Diaz administrations,
that the United States i acting admirably
in coupling with "its polite, but Inflexible
demand upon Mexico for Irreducible mini
mum" military precautions quite effective
and not unnecessarily ostentatious.
M. Leroy-Beaulleu, ater pointing aJt
that the aggregate of European capital In
vested f the "disturbed republic" is not
greatly Inferior to the American Invqet
ment, argues that Washington has a
stewardship for Europe and must live up
to It.
In Berlin, where sntl-American senti
ment Is expressed with more candor than
anywhere else on this aide, the program of
the American "Jingoes" Is denounced with
virulence by spokesmen of the Agrar
great virulence by spokesmen of the
Agrarian and conservative factlona.
Both are smarting under economic
grievances, the latest of which Is the pot
ash difficulty, and both were bitterly
chagrined at the determination of Mr.
Taft to ortlfy the Panama canal, nujl to
mention the oft-reiterated London In
sinuation that It Is Berlin, rather than
Toklo against which the White House Is
taking thought for tha morrow.
Germaav Feels Vgly.
Mr. Taft's Mexican policy, according to
the German commentator, who goes fur
ther into the realm of irresponsible con
jecture, shows "the hollowness of ths old
pretense ot the Monroe doctrine to be a
safeguard for the Latin republics, now that
all the world sees Taft using Monroe's
mantle to cover a fishing expedition In
troubled waters."

Under the caption, "Champ, Champ.

writer hits off the suspicions of the "man-lnthe-stret,"
by saying that "No ona

He finishes his homly by hoping that
the next cat to be the subject of experi

In the same vein of comment on -the
recent volte face of American public men,
a satirist who suggests that Mr. Taft. re
