BADENWEILER, Baden, Germany,
Sept. 24. Germany's most brilllaat diplo
met, Bason Adolf Marschall Von Bleber
stein, died here today after a short ill
ness. The baron, who had occupied the posi
tion of German ambassador In London
only since May this year had corns here
to take a course of alkaline water treat
ment and was in comparatively good
health until a week ago. Then he sud
denly fell ill and rapidly became worse,
until he died today.
The baron had suffered from an attack
of infhiensa earlier In the year and his
death is attributed to the after effects
of that malady and to his strenuous
work in London since his appointment to
the embassy there.
The baron, who' was a 'native of Baden
was 70 years old.
Contemplated Retiring-.
BERLIN, Sept. it. The name. -of the
German ambassador - at Washington,
Count Von Bcrnstorff, has been men
tioned unofficially in diplomatic circles
as that of the possible successor to the
late Baron Marschall Von Bleberstein, as
ambassador in London.
Count Von Bernstorff is reputed to be
an ardent advocate of good Anglo-German
relations. . ' "
It had been rumored for some days
that Baron Von Bleberstein contemplated
retirement from the diplomatic service on
account of Impaired health. It Is stated
that he was suffering from kidney and
liver ailments. His death, which resulted
from paralys's of the heart, was utterly
unexpected here and wilt, it is thought,

to have 'believed possible, "Ws 'recent

Germany's Strong Mn.
Baron-Marsdhall von Bleberstein was
regarded as . one . ot th; ..most accom
plished diplomats of his time, and since
the death of Bismarck he bad been con
sidered Germany's "strong man."
The baron in fact, stepped into the
shoe's of Bismarck when the latter left
office in 1890, becoming on" April 1 of
that year secretary of state of foreign

mediately. No testimony . was . introduced, and
Judge Foell continued the hearing ' until

Taf t Says Reform in
Monetary System is
' Up to Business Men
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. "I think all
the money we have should be in circula
tion In a system which Invites it, and
does not drive it into socks and safety
flenoRit vaults." said President Taft to
day in addressing the American Associa
tion of Commercial Executives in session
Here, before hs left for New Tork. "One
of the troubles with us, Inherent in the
character of our government is that con
gress and public men are prone 10
with those things which attract men
most easily and favorably in short to
headline the attention of the general pub
lic," said the president
"It's pretty hard to get the people to
pay attention to a banking system, but
the problem might be solved and It Is up
to the business men of the country.'
Mr. Taft also dlsOussed the budget
system of government finance which he
favors, but which ' congress at its last
session declined to adopt.

LINCOLN, Sept. 2t.-(SpeoiaL) As an
indication that Taft sentiment is picking
up in Lincoln, men who were circulating
the petition for placing Taft candidates
for. electors on the ballot by petition, re
port it an easy matter to find men who
are for the president and are glad to
sign the petitions. Another indication of
the change of sentiment is the hundreds
of men seen on the street wearing the
tri-colored button with the name of Taft
on a button with the picture of the president.
Two months ago it esemed that few
people wanted to declare themselves for
Taft in that manner for fear of ridicule,
but now it is different and evidence of
the change in sentiment is seen on every
hand, and even at the state house, where
there aro so many of the employes hold
ing their Jobs by virtue of the appoint
ment by Governor AJdrich, Taft buttons
are in evidence in quite numerous quanti
ties. It seems to be the opinion of many
men who have been out through the state
and those who are returning from vaca
tions in other puortlons of the country,
that the cause of Theodore Roosevelt Is
on the wane and that the beginning of the
end of his campaign for the presidency
Is already in sight. V, v
Taft Club Formed,
The completion of the formation of a

TAKES OUT FIRST PAPERS
AFTER VOTING FnDTY YEARS
PIERRE. S. D., Sept. 24.-(Speclal.)-Hendrick
Pederson of Klrley, after going
about. his affairs as a voter and citizen
for more than forty years, finds on nls
attempt to make final proof on a home
stead that while he has been in tls
country that long and has voted at all
elections, he never has been a citizen,
and must take out his "first papers" and
wait two years before he can secure title
to his land as a citizen. ' ,
The Banker
is alive to all the meth
ods of making quick
turns of real estate and
securities and all the
means, of conserving
time and energy., ?
' Naturally the banker
is a constant user, of
want ads.
The want ads secure
competent office help
for him on short notice.
' They find buyers for cer
: tain securities he wishes to
turn, and many is, the piece
of property they have sold
for him at a reasonable
profit for Tiis institution.
The banker realizes per
haps more than any other
man that real estate is the .
basis of most great fortunes
and as a result he is cdntin- '
ually buying -properties on
his own personal account.
By reading and using the
want ads he la enabled to
do this, , and . ' to keep his
properties rented, all within
the . limits of his limited
time. '
; The want ads are indeed .
a great convenience to , the
banker and the busy busi
ness men. These little ads
sure do get results.'
