GAMBLERS SET UP ‘REPUBLIC’ Halted on Way to Present Demands for Recognition to the King of Italy. i Geneva.—An interesting situation has arisen at Campione, the Italian Monte Carlo, near Lugano. At the instance of the Swiss author- ities the Italian government closed the gambling place recently, whereupon the residents, consisting of several hundred male voters, declared Cam- plone an independent republic, with the object of reopening the Casino, which, during the few months of its existence, made a profit reported to be more than a million dollars. The chief shareholdets were Austrians. A delegation, headed by the mayor, with a petition and proclamation, was on the way to Rome to interview the king when stopped at the Italian fron- tier. The delegation was sent home; the papers were seized and the dele- gates were threatened with arrest. Quoits Really Ancient Game. The quoit is a flattish ring of iron, used In playing. I is generally from eight and a half to nine and a half inches in external diameter, and be- tween one and two inches in breadth, convex on the uppe side and slightly concave on the under side, so that the outer edge curves downward, and is sharp enough to cut into soft ground. The game played with such rings re- quires two pins, called hobs, driven part of their length into the ground some distance apart; and the players, who are divided into two sides, stand beside one hob, and in regular suc- cesslon throw their quoits, of whick each player has two, as near the other hodb as they can. The side which has the quoit nearest the hob counts a point toward the game, or, if the quoit is thrown so as to surround the hob. it counts two. The game slightly re- sembles the ancient exercise of throw- ing the discus, which has, however, been often translated by this English word. INSPECTOR OUT "WITH THE FACTS Had Suffered Fifteez: Years— Trouble Ends After He Takes Tanlac “1 never thought 1 would cpme out with a public statement for Tanlac, but I just feel so good over the way it has helped me that T think I ought ‘to talk for the benefit of others suf- fering like 1 did,” said Joe Woltring, of 709 National Ave., Milwaukee, Wis., to a Tanlac representative, re- cently. Mr. Woltring is an inspector for the Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co., mak- ers of power machinery, and has been with this firm for forty years. He is well known and highly thought of in the community in which he lives. “For something like fifteen years I have had trouble with my stomach,’” continued Mr. Woltring, “I didn't have any appetite to speak of and seemed to eat more from habit than anything else, because I didn’t relish my food, and at times what little I did eat just seemed to settle in my stomach in a lump and I would puff up with gas and have palpitation of the heart and belch up sour, undi- gested food. I had to be mighty care- ful what I ate, too, because any kind of rich, greasy food always caused me just that much more misery, and this trouble with my stomach naturally made me so nervous I didn’t sleep well at nights, and when I got up some mornings 1 felt completely ex- hausted and had a mighty disagree- able taste in my mouth. ' “ I had read about Tanlac and saw where people right here in Milwau- kee claimed they had been relieved of troubles like mine by using it, so I thought 1 would give it a trial, but at the start T really didn't have much faith in it, because I had already taken so many other medicines with- out being helped any. Well, sir,-the wdy Tanlac began to relieve me of that long standing trouble in just a few days certainly opened my eyes, 80 I kept right on taking the medi- cine till now my stomach is perfect- ly sound in every respect. I uave a grand appetite now and can eat heartily of anything I want and never have any trouble with gas. I can sleep as soundly as a school boy at night and get up in the morning feeling fine and ready for a hearty breakfast and when I start off to work I feel like life is really worth while. I just wish everybody suffer- ing from stomach trouble could get Tanlac, because I know what it did for me and feel sure it will help others.” Tanlac ig sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. Wil- liams. GETS $125,000 Aunt Reimburses Gotham Lieu- tenant for Money His Uncle Squandered. VCTIM OF CONFIDENCE Share in Estate of Grandmother. s Misappropriated by Former Con- gressman—Nephew Accepts Set- tlement After Court Action. New York.—As the result of a set- tlement announced, James F. Dechert, who served as a lieutenant in France, will receive $125,000 as his share of the estate of his grandmothar, Mrs. Sarah J. Flanagan, who died in 1908, al- though his uncle, De Witt #). Flana- gan, formerly a congressman from New Jersey and original promoter of the Cape Cod canal, misappropriated his share of $113,000 in his grandmoth- er's estate. The settlement under which the pay- ment is to be made by his aunt, Mrs. Gertrude E. Shannon of 121 Madison avenue, follows the report of John Quinn, named in 1916 as referee to hear objections by Lieutenant Dechert in the accounting by Mrs. Shannon, and Mr. Flanagan, his uncle, as execu- tors under his grandmother’s.will, Takes Testimony Two Years. Mr. Quinn took testimony in the case for two years In order to determine the accountabllity of Mrs. Shannon for the acts of her brother, and finally de- cided that the decisions in similar cases compelled him to hold that both Mrs, Shannon and Mr. Flanagan should account for Lieutenant Dech- ert’s $113,000, with interest since 1906. Counsel for Mrs. Shannon objected to the liability ruling against her on the ground that she had acted inno- cently and had been guilty only of blind trust in her brother, but before the attorneys for Lieutenant Dechert had presented a decree to the surro- gate directing the payment of the $118,- 000 with 13 years' interest, overtures for a settlement were made, and as a result of the acceptance by her nephew of her offer of about $125,000 the pro- ceedings will he dropped. Had Never Qualified. Mr. Quinn’s report states that Lieu- tenant Dechert's mother, Lillian F. Dechert, died in Connecticut in 1898, and named Flanagan, her brother, cs executor under her will and guardian of her son. The referee states that he neyer qualified as the guardian of his nephew in New York and had no authority to receive property here as his guardian. The accounting of the executors to which Lieutenant Dechert objected was filed in 1916, and stated that the entire residuary estate of Mrs. Flana- gan had been distributed in 1906 among four beneficiaries, each of whom was entitled to $113,000. The share allot- ted to Lieutenant Dechert consisted of mortgages for $54,000, $40,000 and $19,- 000 respectively. Mrs. Shannon joined in this accounting. YOUTH NOW SEEKS FREEDOM Asks Divorce From Grandmother Whom, He Says, He Married Under Pressure. Knoxville, Tenn.—Having married the widow of his grandfather, Maggie Sutton, aged 73 years.

Sutton testified that he married his wife “under pres- sure.” He gives as a reason for seeking an annulment of his marriage that his wife “is too old and that he never liked her.” Chancellor Hugh H. Tate took the case under advisement. Mrs. Sutton did not appear to make answer to the bill. She is understood to be a nonresident and notice was served by publication.

For hundreds of years Mexican In- dians had a horror of what they called the pest spot of Lake Chapala, near the shore at Tizapan. They would not bathe in it or sail around it, declaring that the water was ofly. Then, after a time, they cautiously began to paint wooden boats with this oil, which proved so effective in keeping out the water that it became the general cus- tom to use it. They did not know that this was petroleum gushing up through the water—a magnificent flow, about two miles out in the lake, which to this day gushes apparently without varying.
