Irate Soldier Lover
Misses Eloping Girl
' After Wild Auto Ride
A tall girl of pronounced blonde
type but with the unusual accom
paniment of snappy black eyes, at
tracted a good deal of attention
around the Burlington railway sta
tion in Council Bluffs Friday after
noon. She was accompanied by a khaki
clad voung man of about her own
age, 25, who had his arm around
her nearly all of the time, as if
to shield her from impending harm.
Three minutes after the 10:30 Kan
sas City train started bearing them
away, an automobile, splattered with
mud and with radiator boiling hot,
dashed up to the station platform
and another soldier, about 35 years
old, .(sprang out, followed by an
elderly man who might have been
his father. Excited inquiries were
made concerning the couple, and the
information secured that they had
left on the train.
' "What about them where are
they going?" came a sympathetic
query. . . i '
"They are going td be married,
you mutt," the soldier replied ex
plosively. "Haven't they a right to; they're
old enough?" Not by a of a
sight, for that girl is to marry me
next week. I've chased them all the
way from Irvington, Neb., and just
missed them in South Omaha and
Omaha. I
"What's their names and what's
your .name?" the questioner asked.
"You're one of them newspaper
- men I Well if you say a word about
'this you'll get a 12-inch shell."
Neither of the soldiers wore over
seas insignias.

MUSIC
There is a real musical artist at
the Orpheuni this week in the person
of Jan Rubini, violinist, but he is
not one of those violinists who
plays the violin and dances around
all the time and who sometimes
waves his violin between beats, but
a real violinist, who makes the tones
of his music do the dancing or the
sinsrinc. or whatever it is he wishes
to express, a violinist who can play
not only loud ana sott, bat 1U0 dif
ferent degrees of each one; and who
can use each degree in just the place
where it is the most satisfactory
for the art of the music, Mr.
Rubini received a gratifying atten
tion from Orpheum patrons during
the numbers he played in the reg
ular program of the matinee Friday.
After the program, the genuine mu
sic lovers stayed and enjoyed a de
lightful program which was spe
cially arranged for them. Mr. Rubini
has talent, technic and temperament.
His notes are always sure and true,
he draws an easy and skillful bow,
and his finger work is , clear and
decisive. . 1
Legende, by Wieniawski, Caprice
Viennois by Kreisler, - the lovely
"Romance" and fiery "A la Zin
gara" from the "Second Wieniaw
ski Concert Theme on Corelli," by
Tartini-Kreisler, and some arrange
ments and numbers by Rubini him
self, were among the numbers which
held a great deal of pleasure for
the listeners, and gave Rubini a
chance a show his versatility in
many types of music. A genuine
enthusiasm for artistic work is one
of his marked characteristics. Miss
Margaret Hughes at the piano
proved an accompanist of no small
attainments. Her work ably sup
plemented that of the violinist, and
the careful judgment with . which
she supported or followed added a
vital part to the enjoyment of the
program, H. M. R.

WILSON REJECTS
COMPROMISE IN
FIUME DISPUTE
Italy Will Abandon Its Claim
and Exact Full Execution of
Pact of London, Is Im
pression at Paris. V
Paris, May 9. (Bv the Associ
ated Press.) The Italian difficulty is
as far from settlement as ever, ac
cording to the French press, which
asserts that President Wilson main
tains his position and it is not be
lieved he will depart from it in the
sKghtest ;
He has not adhered, it is said, to
the proposed compromise by which
Italy would administer Fiume as
mandatory of the league of nations
until 1923, after which Fiume would
revert to Italian sovereignty, the
Jugo-Slavs being given a port a few
miles lower down the Adriatic coast.
The impression in French confer
ence circles is that Italy is tempor
arily abandoning its claim to Fiume
and will exact full execution of the
pact of London, which as it involves
not only Dalmatia but tjie Dodeca
nese islands, will , raise the whole
Greek problem and singularly com
plicate the situation. . f .
Thomas Nelson Page, American
ambassador to Italy, arrived in Paris
at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon. He
was accompanied by Camille Bar
rere, French ambassador to Italy.

Prediction

Performance!
THE wise men of the east are predicting higher prices, and succed in stampeding the market occasionally, and this tends to
give them a reputation as prophets. In the dry goods' business supply and demand govern the situation and control the
market. The shrewd little yellow men on the Island of Nippon come dangerously near controlling the silk market and so
silks are high and there are both prediction and promise of still higher prices. Notwithstanding all. this, we cannot, help but
believe that prices will come downby and by. Acting upon this conviction we are going to offer, a little over 400 yards of
fine Foulards on Saturday. The goods are choice and all perfect, 36 inches wide, just such as we have sold right along this very
season right up to yesterday at $2.50. Saturday morning at 9 they will go at x ,
