MILWAUKEE, Wis, December 12.-The
excitement over the mysterious disappear
ance of Maggie HennecKe is almost as great
today as il was immediately after the girl
was missed. The staten ent of the man
Brown, who cl,ims 10 be on track OF the
girl N Nebraska, taus the subject 10 be the
common and almost universal subject OF con-
yersaiion in all drcles. No further news
was received from Brown to-day. Accord
ing to letters heretofore received from him
he expected TO be on he direct trait to-mor-
row. A correspondent visited Mr.. Henuecke
TO learn his theory concerning Browns &C
tions. Alter a week or more had passed
without satisfactory cl,w to the girls where
abouis, Mr.. Hennecke reluctantly accepted
the theory that she must 1e drowned. Espe-
ciaIly did he accept this view after the miss
ing girls hat was found in the river. But
az the weeks have gone by Without the water
giving up the least sign of her, he has
changed his mind and now believes
firsT he saIu IF',rraEtr- -brftrTr
tn at she had committed suicide; that there
was not the slightest ground on which 10
base such belief His only explanation of
the supposition that she was trowned was
based on the theory that she evidently fell
into the river, and all along h has held
that there was no reasonable explanation for
her presence in the neighborhoOd. Now,
after the most complete and thorough search
of the waters has failed to discover the body,
he has reached the conclusion that his little
daughter was the victim of child-st,alers
So far as the actions of the man Brown are
concerned, Mr.. Hennecke says it is all very
mysterious. Had Brown asked money, or even
failed to prepay his dispatches and letters,
Mr.. Hennecke would regard him as man
whose only object was to obtain money, and
were il not for the fact that evidence has
been obtained TO show that Brown is a man
of good standing, Mr.. Hennecke would set
him down as a crank. AS it was, he can
simply say it is mystery. Your CORE
spondent took special pains tonight to in
teryiew the detectives and police officials TO
learn their views in regard 10 the case.
They still adhere to the drowning theory,
and simply say that Brown is a crank

WAsHINGToN, December I'm the Star
route case the question came up as TO whether
counsel had right to interrogate persons
called az Jurors. The Judge had decided
that if counsel desired TO exercise that right
they must first challenge the juror for cause
and state the grounds of challenge. A two
hours argument ensued, during which Inger-
soil admitted that he did not pretend 10
know anything as to the law in force in the
District, but neither did anyone else. II any
body did pretend 10 know he did not RENAL in
long of the same opinion. The combination
of ruth and sarcasm in the remark ELECTED
an amused assent from the judge and coun-
sci. The Judge adhered to Yesterday rul-
ing. The defense were at length forced into
a challenge of Juror Barrett for cause. The
Juror was discharged. Thomas Wal,h was
called, but not accepted. Isasc Eichler was
accepted as the first juror.
Martin Olonough, one ofthe .alesmen, had
read something IN the newspapers on the
Star-route case, but had supposed at first
that it had reference 10 the "Stdr news
paper" He was challenged psremptorily.
Reese Evans was next called. He had not
formed or ressed any opinion. He would
not care what the President desired; what
Congress desired, or what counsel Qngersol)
cared. Evans kept his seat.
John II. Crane was sworn in as the fret
juror in the case, and the court then adj

looked around and listened; they were soon
satisfied, or dissatisfied, as the case may be,
and turning away they resumed their jour
ney. The captain, on this occasion, was not
alone ia his eloquent pleading for outlets,
and nothing but outlets; that experienced
river man, Capt. feathers, was HIS hacker
on the occasion. The captain would
find some land in which he is
interested greatly increased in value
If the outlet his friend 80 eloquent

il appears that real estate is net the only
stake he has IN the establishment of plan

which contained an agreement on the part
of Leathers 10 pay $1,000 to Palmer If there

of the witnesses, EdW. J. Gay as the other.
Three years and half ago payment was
claimed, but feathers, not believing his

TOPEKA, KS, December 12-The follow
ing account of the bank robbery at Kinsley,
Ks, Is obtained from Mr.. J. c. Ellis who
came up from Kinsiey to-day: The matter
has beea kept extremely quiet, and has moi
yet appeared 10 print, although the robbery
occurred forty-eigbi hours ago. Ga Saiur-
day evening L. G. Boice, cashier Of the
bank, locked the sale and vault and went to
his supper. G. w. Crawford, county treas
urer, who has an Office in the rear of the
room occupied by the bank, left the building
with the cashier, and they returned to-
gether about an hour later, and it was then
discovered that some one had been in the
room in the meantime, humber of coins
being scattered sbou. the floor. The cashier
unlocked the vault and safe and then dis
covered tina; $4,000 had been stolen. The
burglars evidently had entered the building
from the rear and passed through the treas.
ureI's Office into the bank room, the pareI
of the door between the rooms having been
broken. Treasurer Crawford was acquainted
with the combination 20 the vault, being in
the habit OF keeping his books there, but no
Que else knew il, except Cashier Boice.
There were no indications that powder had
been used, hence the door must have been
unlocked. The entire affair has a mysterious

barrister, now in New York, says although
he has spoken for hours in a courtroom with.
out notes, he feels very nervous at the idea
OF facing hall full of ladies and gentlemen
whom he will be expected 10 amuse. To a

Oscar Wilde in earnest" "Was there any
expectation that Mrs. Llnglry could act?
"Was the dispatch purporting to come from
the Prince OF Wales, congratulsting her on
her debut in America, accepted as genuine ?'
These and other questions being answered, he
asked if it was really true that Mrs. Lsbou-
chere and Mrs. Languy had quarreled and
parted. "Dear me, desr me" ne remarked,
