MOSHER, Editor and Manager HYSTERY PROVES TO BE AN ELOPEMENT Wisconsin Pair Are Located U McHenry County Seat City Saturday ' Tiie mysterious disappearance of 18-year old Margaret Fitzgerald from' her home near Mapleton, Wis., Friday night while attired only in a nightdress and kimona, turned out Saturday afternoon to be an apparent elopement "Walter Kinney, 23 year old "man is the case," te!efrapb#d his parents from Woodstock Saturday for money. He didn't explain the reason why he needed the money. Bloodhounds had been searching for the couple. Police at first believed Miss Fitzgerald, Marquette university co-ed, had been kidnapped. The couple was located when the girl called at the Woodstock telegraph office for money. The two had eloped from the Wisconsin home late Friday night and her disappearance led to a search of the country about Mapleton in the fear she Had been a victim of violence. Sheriff Cy Sanford kept them in custody until the arrival of Miss Fitzgerald's parents. Cy reported Miss Fitzgerald and ^Kinney "very much in love" and said they planned to be married Saturday but they forgot to bring along the marriage license. Kfnney told of how he went to the Fitsgerald home after the family had retired on Friday night and kept a tryst with the girl. Her disapparance was discovered by her younger sister, and a search revealed the imprint Of a man's shoes beside the girl's in the farmyard. Blood hounds were resorted to, but the search proved unavailing as the couple left in an automobile. Kinney's home is also in Mapleton, a village of about 50 people. The elopement caused much excitement in Waukesha county. The district attorney and sheriff of the county motored to Woodstock to help clear «p the matter. Reporters from Milwaukee, photographers, police officers and others made up the searching party that appeared at the court bouse Saturday in connection with Hie matter. Saturday evening papers in Wisconsin carried big stories of the elope- . ment and bloodhound chase. The couple returned to the Fitzgerald Inme where a big wedding was to t£ke place. The young couple was married at Bockford on Mionday by a justice of fie peace. THE WORLD'S GREAT_EVENTS ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE <« ,? MRS. THEODORE H. RUBLY Mrs. Theodore H. Rubly,; 6433 Greenwood avenue, Rogers Park, Chicago, died at her home Wednesday, Jane 27, 1928, aged 54 years. .Mrs. Rubly was a sister of Mrs. Fred Suemann of McHenry. She had been in poor health for the past two years. Her death followed that of her sister, Mrs. William Sporer of Waukegan, just about three and one-half months. Deceased leaves her husband and four Children, two sisters, Miss Rose Worth and Mrs. Kuemann, and one brother George Worth of Waukegan. Funeral set v ices were held at St. Anastasia chnrch, Rogers Park, Saturday morning and burial was made at Waukegan. "T ' 1 (Q bV D04& a Company.) Von Molt he IRE," said Napoleon Ill's mlnyJ ister of war, "all is in absolute readiness for the Prussian campaign, down to the last button on the last gaiter of the last soldier." Now, this was one of the most monumental lies ever uttered. Napoleon III was well aware that Europe distrusted him. ' Be knew the French were naturally restless, that they had had a long era of military glory, and that a few years of humdrum peace might lead them to weary of him. So he went on the principle that a war every four years would keep them content, swell France's martial renown and make safe his own crown. In the first decade of the Nineteenth century Napoleon the Great had crushed Prussia to the dust and humiliated her king. The son of that king was on the Prussian throne In 1870 and the great Napoleon's nephew ruled France. Bismarck, Yon Moltke and other Prussian statesmen bad foreseen trouble with France and were well prepared for it, even If they did not (as many think) secretly bring about the conflict France, on the other hand, was totally unready for any such clash. Prussia's revenge for the slxtyyear- old injuries was at hand. The overt occasion of the Franco-Prussian war wa| as follows: Queen Isabella of Spain was deposed. The Spanish crown was offered to Prince Leopold of Hobensollern, a relative to King William of Prussia. Napoleon in at once declared that such selection would destroy the "balance of power" and leave France exposed to Prussian attack on east and south. He therefore demanded that Leopold's candidature be withdrawn. King William meekly obeyed Utterly deceived by such gubmlssion, Napoleon went a step further and demanded a pledge from WMUam that no Prussian prince should ever sit on the Spanish throne. William promptly refused to grant so absurd a request upd publicly snubbed the ambassador who transmitted It This was such an excuse as Napoleon had longed for. France at once declared war on Prussia (July 19, 1870) and rushed a body of troops to the German frontier. So far, so good. But owing to graft and incompetency, France's army was In wretched condition. Yet France went mad with patriotic aeaL The feats of the first Napoleon- against Prussia were recalled.

The north and sooth German states (on many of whig* Napoleon in had been told h* might rely for neutrality or even aid) unanimously Joined Prussia, sinking internecine grievances ID a common cause; 477,000 men were mustered, as against France's 810,000. The German forces were divided into three armies, which at a signal crept unchecked across the Rhine like a huge three-headed snake, preceded by a cloud of Uhlans, sweeping all before them and striking at France's verj heart King William was commander in chief, with Marshal von Moltke, the peerless tactician, as his chief of staff. The French armies, commanded by Napoleon III In person, made Mets their headquarters. On August 2, part of Napoleon's northern army drove a handful of Prussians out of the town of Saarbruck. But thereafter Prussia acted ever on the offensive. The French, individually, fought like heroes, but they were no match for their stronger foes. In two armies France's incompetently commanded, ill-equipped forces were hurled back and prevented from uniting. One of these armies was led T)y fiazaine, former conqueror of Mexico; the other by MacMahon, afterwards president of France. Bazaine was successively beaten at Courcelles, Mars-la-Tour and Gravelotte (August 14, 16 and 18) and was penned up In the city of Metz. MacMahon moved forward to aid him, but on September 1, was surrounded at Sedan, and next day was forced to surrender with forty generals, 4,000 lesser officers and 84,000 men. Napoleon III, wbo was with MacMabon's army, was also captured and packed off a prisoner to a German fortress. 4A.t news of his capture and the disgraceful failure of French arms rage and mortification seised all France. Napoleon was deposed; his wife and son were compelled to flee secretly to England; and, September 4, a republic was proclaimed. On September 18, the Germans besieged Paris. On September 28 Basalne surrendered at Mets. The latter city, snatched from Germany in the days of Charles V, once more was held ! by its original masters. Paris fell after a long and gallant siege; armies sent to relieve it were beaten. France was at Prussls's mercy. On March 1, 18?1, the victorious Germans entered Paris; passing through the mighty Arc de Trlomphe, which had been erected to commemorate the martial triumphs of France; thus adding a climax to perhaps the grimmest irony in the annals of warfare.

Coast '* Guard The following account appeared in the Chicago Daily News on Monday, July 2. Mr. Goetz and his family are summer residents of McHenry. After being stranded on the rocks off the Wlilson avenue bathing beach for more than five hours last night, the cabin cruiser "Bud," owned by Harry Goetz of 1451 Baltimore avenue, president of the Yale Slot and Slug company, was freed by members of the United States coast guard early this morning, and proceeded under its own power to the Belmont avenue harbor. Mr. Goetz, with a party of three, which included Miss Esther Howell, 4431 North Seeley avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. Hall I. Ruth, 7367 North Ashland avenue, sailed from Chicago to Waukegan Saturday in a power boat race. After coming in third in the race, he and his party Btayed in Waukegan until Sunday evening, when they returned to Chicago. Goee on New prrk* As they approached the stretch of lake off Wilson avenue, according to Mr. Goetz, Ruth was at . the wheel while he was napping on a seat in the cabin. At this point in the lake, the old yacht course, before the extension of the outer drive north from Lincoln park, lay inside of the Law rence avenue crib. Since the con' yachts must lay their course outside of the crib to avoid rocks and breakwaters laid by the workers. Ruth was not aware of this condition and the boat crashed into some rocks lying just below the surface of the water, where it remained stranded. When Mr. Goet2, who was awakened by the crash, found that his own engines could not dislodge his boat he shot off several Tockets and shouted to people on shore, several hundred yards away, to call the coast guard. A hasty examination of the boat showed it to be undamaged and that it was not taking in any water, so, although several persons came out in row boats and offered to take the party to shore, they decided to stay with the boat and Wait for the coast guard. Need Powerful Boat When the coast guards first arrived on the scene they came in a light, fast speed boat, which was unable to dislodge the heavy cruiser. The coast guard then returned to the station at the mouth of the Chicago river for a more powerful boat, first taking Miss Howell and Mrs. Ruth to the shore, while the two men stayed by the boat to assist in getting it off the rocks. This morning the boat was freed. No damage is obvious in a cursory examination, according to Mr. .Goetz. Mir. and Mrs. Henry Meuser and children of Chicago visited with relatives here over the Fourth.
