Editor Bulletin:
Please permit me to refer to the card of
MessrS Axley X Wilson as published in to-
days issue of your paper and to say in re-.
ply that in my statement before the council
on Tuesday evening mentioned no names
whatever, and fail to perceive the urgent
necessity for such hasty denial before be-
ing accused. My information came direct
from the woman renting the hall, through
one of our best citizens one whose char
actcr for vcracity is unqucstioncd, As
member of City Council and as chairman
of the committee on Police and Jail, l felt
it my duty to lay the matter before our

names for the present. Now rs to the

A Romance in Real Life.

The neighboring county of Robert
son has had sensation in the return of
one of her citizens, who was stolen
twenty years ago. It reads like ro-
nance. Years ago q Mr.. Reayes, DOW
of Robertson county, was living on the
Missouri river, and while there his e
year-old son, Newton, was stolen by the
Sioux Indians, with whom he dwelt fif-.
teen years before finding out that he
was of white blood. For six years he
tried to effect his escape, as also to
rescue a little girl, stolen from De-
troit, Mich, named Anna Ware. His
efforts were crowned with sue
cess; and, after twenty years spent
with the Indians, he found HIM
self among his own race, but almost a
stranger among them. He worked in
Michigan four years, and during that
time he told his strange history to O
gentleman who had it published.
Charles Hamilton, of Ohio, read it, and,
happening to know the elder Reayes,
wrote to him at once, stating his sus-
picions that the lost son was found. An
Interchange of letters, and Newton
started for Kentucky, reaching here last
month, after walking through from
Michigan, which he did in twelve days,
crossing the Ohio river at Ripley on q
plank. Newton's Indian name was Po-
lar Bear, and he yet speaks very broken
English, and is great curiosity in Ken

Cost of Congressional Contests.

There is provision in the Sundry
Civil bill passed by the last Congress
limiting the amount to be paid to each
contestant or contestee for seat in
either house of Congress to $4,000. In
the last Congress there were twenty-six
parties to contests, and to these there
was paid by the same bill $46.616. The
cost of these twenty six election cases, in
Guiding the sum named, which was paid
as salary and expenses, was about
$4,000, or on an average of more than
$1,000 for each man. Not half of these
cases were ever determined by the
House, and in those which were consid-
cred by the Committees on Elections,
very much of the evidence taken was
ex parte or irrelevant. In the case of
Nutting VS.. Reilley, of the Thirteenth
Pennsylvania district, the testimony
covered more than 1,200 closely. printed
pages, much of which was ruled out on
the ground of irrelevancy. The case
was never acted upon, but the Gov
ernment paid the parties to the contest
$4,000 each. The Bisbee case, which
was taken up and settled just before the
adjournment, cost $4,000. If the new
law had been in operation at the time
the entire cost of these twenty-six con-
tests could only have been little more
than $4,000, being saving of over
S3O, 200.
