DESERTED HIS FAMILY.
W. S. Allen Kidnaps Two Children
and Leaves the Country-His Wife
Finds Trace of Them in Ohio.

Last Saturday W. S. Allen, maj
we'll known in town, living with hi
wife and four children in East Abilene
kidnapped his two youngest children
and left for parts unknown. Allen ha:
been a good-for-nothing rake around
town for some years and has done but
little toward the support Of his family
He has been hard drinker and has nc
character whatever. The city is wei
rid of him, but the deserted wife is
nearly wild with grief and is using
every method to secure knowledge OF
his whereabouts. She has begged that
the affair be kept out of the papers but
finally concluding that publication
would assist in finding him, last night
gave the following notice for publicS-
ton, Kansas City aud Topeka papers
being requested to copy:
On Saturday night last w. S. Allen,
of Abilene, Kansas, left this city very
suddenly, taking with him his two
little daughters, aged 5 and Z. He
went to Detroit in buggy; leaving the
buggy there he procured ticket to
junction City, from which place he
paid his fare to Kansas City. He had
on gray suit of clothes and stiff hat;
was short and rather heavy; he also
had gray cashmere coat and vest
which he may have put on in place of
his heavier garments. Any informa-
ton regarding his whereabouts will be
thankfully received by telegraph or
mail, by Mrs. Allen, who is almost
frantic with grief over the loss of her
children.
In the meanwhile Mrs. Allen has
been using the telegraph freely, and
among others wired to friend of hers
in West Liberty, Ohio, Aliens old
home. Yesterday morning she received
word that the children were at the
home of Aliens parents in that place
but that he had not been seen there.
Mrs. Allen is determined to have her
offspring and left last night for Ohio,
in order to secure them.
1t is hoped that if Allen eyer shows
his face in this city again he will get
his just deserts. There is no punish
ment too seyere for villain who will
leave helpless the wife who has chung
to him through trouble and hardship,
to say nothing of robbing her of her
children.

One week from next Sunday even

notable astronomical event, total
eclipse of the moon. AS the phenome-
non takes place early in the night, 1O

for observation. The eclipse is visible
throughout the United States and is OF
such seldom occurrence as to make II
well-worth watching for. The last

Two fakirs have been working the
towns of South Dickinson with the
time-worn jewelry and soap racket.
Suckers have been done up to the tune
of three dollars or more apiece. We
have no sympathy for the man who
looses money by playing at another
mans game. Fakirs do net travel
over the country for the purpose OF
giving away money, and it seems to us
about time honest people were learning
this fact and acting accordingly.

Lace Dresses in Holland

carefully worn and lasts a lifetime. i'll
many eases being handed down from
one generation to another.
The singular feature OF this custom
is that, jig matter what the style of the
dress. whether of ancient or modern
~fashioning, it is perfectly correct to don
it upon whatever occasion of state or
social entertainment when the owner
may desire to appear. Indeed no la
dy's wardrobe is considered complete

in one piece.
rhe lady for whom the garment is
to be fashioned having expressed her
preference in the matter. patterns are
drawn and given to the lace makers,
who then set to work and make it ac-
cOrding to directions. without a single
seam.
Such a dress, is. of course. expensive
at the outset. but once secured is most
economical, as it is elegant, and, no
matter how frequently worn, is always
in good taste and admired by the com
pany.-L.ondOn Paper.
