Quite a number Of boys and grown
people were out until an early hour,
this morning, looking for johnny Luf-
kins, the II year. old son of Hank Luf-
kins, who disappeared about o o'clock
last night. About half-pas Z he and
some other boys went to the race track
to engage in some foot-races. After
racing while Johnny took off his
shoes, to walk in the creek which flows
this side Of the track, when he cut his
foot by stepping on piece Of glass.
He then started down town with
Eugene LeGrande, and accompanied
him to Mrs. LeGrande's lodging house.
Half an hour later he Left Mrs. Lee
Grande's and started for his home on
First avenue through the alley between
it and Main street. That was the last
seen of him.
The lad was finally found asleep in
a manager, where he had sought refuge
because he thought it was too late to
go home.

A "CHARITY" BARBER.
The Queer Freaks he Plays on His
Customers.

During the existing blockade on
the Oregon Short Line, one of the
train hands has turned bar Der, and all
the express messengers, postal clerks.
conductors, brakemen, and others en-
ployed on the road have been induced
to get shaved and hair cut by him.
lie charges nothing for his services,
but claims to know best what cut of
whiskers and hair will be most becom-
ing to each Of his customers, and in
sists upon cutting them according to
his peculiar notions. Thus, one man
wears only a few b.istlcs at the place
where a goatee should grow, another
half or whole mustache, another has
the front part of his head shaved
close, while again others will have
only one side cropped-and so on.
This accounts for the pecuiarities of
facial and head toilet of the railroad
boys which have caused SO much com.
ment all along the line. At first some
of the railroad boys "kicked' and
visited other BARRIERS, but their com.
rades joshed them into submission to
tie ''chari+y artist" as they call HIM,
and now they have all agreed to sub
NIT to his whims until the road shall
be re-opened from Granger to the
western extremity. This is expected
to be in couple of weeks, if the
weather holds good.

of the Old World. He has always been in
favor Of throwing around our laborers
such safeguards and such pro-
lection barriers as will render thom com.
paratively independent Of the.low-priced

taken the position that the laborer is en-
titled to receive such wages as will not only
afford him bare subsistence, as Is the case
elsewhere, but as will also enable him to
educate his children, provide for his family
comfortably, and also enable him to
lay up something to sustain him in his old
age, when the palsy of laborious years has
compelled him to fold his hands at the fire.

interfered with while travelling in foreign
countries, he always acted with u prompt
ness and vgor that secured to those citizens
their rights and their liberties His corro-

and it will show also. that tho man Is in
spired by an intense devotion to our form

why Irish-AmerIcans Should Vote
for Blaine.


The Irish World and other papers spccii-
cally devoted to the interests of our Irish.
American citizens come to hand this week
teeming with cards, letters and communica-
tions from Irish American citizens who
have heretofore acted with the Democratic
party, but who now announce their deter
miDation to vote for Messrs. Blaine and
Logan next November. Most of these
give their reasons for their proposed action,
and their reasons are strong aud conclusive
The only wonder is that any Irish-Alneri-
can should support tho nominee Of the
Democratic party. At the Chicago Demo-
cratic Conyention Ihsh-American citizens
were covered with showers of vituperqtiye
filth by such men as Fellows, Bragg, Villas
and others, merely because thoy were sns-
pocted OF sympathztng witA Joan Kelly
and Tammany Hall, and more than one of
the irate orators Of the Cleveland faction
shouted out, Let the blanked Irish 20 !"
Here might bo found reasons enough TO
Justify every Irish-American in tho Uaion
in deserting tho Democratic flag ia the
present campaign.
Lut this would be only an individual
reason-a mere episode, which is not
grounded on principle. There are, how
ever, reasons enough for Irishmen voting
for James G. Blaine, and they are bot
toned, too, on the very bedrock of true
Democratic principles. In every position
in which lie has been placed, official or un-
official, James G. Blaine has always been
tho champion Of free labor ana of the in-
dependence of American labor on our own
soil and of a real American Nationality
This grand heritage of the people, embraced
within the limits of the United States of
America, Mr.. Blaine has always contended
should be tho homo of free, prosperous, in.
telligent and happy laborers, whether on
the farm, in the shop, the mill, the factory
or the office. His speeches and his diplomatic
correspondence will show that he has al
ways and everywhere been aYerse to Ameri-

with the cheap and almost pauperzed labor

a SkCRILEGIOUs ACT.
Tho Date of Btrth Erased from ahe
Mcadstone Over the Grave of Mr.
Binine's Dead Son.


The Kennebec Journal of to-day says ::
"Much feeling has been excited in this COM
munity by an event of extraordinary char
acter, In the wellknown cemetery of the
Stanwood family au infant son OF Mr.. aud
Mrs. Blaine lies buried. The child died in
July, 1864, and its resting-plaocd is marked
by beautiful memorial of marble, erected
in 1865, on which the dates of birth aud
death were plainly inscribed in raised let
ters. About two weeks ago it was discov.
cred that the date of the child's birth had
been carefully chiseled away. IL was
quickly discovered, and an intimate friend
of the Blaine family placed detective on
the track of tho perpetrator, who has not
yet been discovered, but it is believed a
clew has been found, in the fact that directly
after the mutilatiou of tho memorial per-
son, whose namo is known, had copies of
the alleged record sent to newspapers in
various parts Of the country antagonsbic to
Blaine. The motive for the act of vandal-
ism is scarcely apparent. There is great in
dignation among all classes Of people over
the sacrilegious act
