After Twenty Years.

Twenty years ago in William
sport, Pa, James McClearney, as
S-year-old boy was sent to school,
and until about q week ago MOTH
ing was heard of him.
The boy a mourned as lost and
the family finally moved to New
York and gave up the search fol
him. A few days since 1t well
dressed stranger appeared at the
house of his now aged parents and
announced himself as the long
missing boy. Then followed the
runaway's story. Instead of going
to school, he had goneto the depot
yards, slowed himself away in a
box a and went to New York.
Why he did SD, he could not tell.
His first earning was 10 cents as q
messenger. This he invested in
papers. He lived for a year in
One Hundred and Tenth street,
one block from his family, but did
not know it. He became a buyer
for a dry goods house, then went
into business for himself, and made
a competence.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE
story comes from good authority
at Los Angeles of the burning of
a young squaw by Mojave Indians
because she was accused of practic-
ing witchcraft. For the past two
months a strange disease has at
tackled members of the tribe. Its
spread at last became SO alarming
that the members Of the tribe be-
came panic stricken.
The frenzied reds drove their
women to the place where acoun-
Gil had been held, and where a
white pigeon lay among the herbs
and grasses. The squaws were
driven in single file, with the med
icine men watching with nervous
excitement the face of each as she
passed the bird. Finally a young
squaw, the daughter of Cresco, a
sub-chief, stepped out of the ranks,
and was about to pick up the bird,
when the medicine d with loud
yells, seized the girl and p~inioned
her arms. The unfortunate squaw
pleaded piteously for her life,
which she seemed to forsee was in
peril, but the medicine men per-
sisted in dragging her to the coun-
Gil place. The action Of the girl
was evidence that the squaw was u
witch.
The poor girl, who was but Is
years old, was stripped of her
clothes, tied to a stake, and a slow
fire built under her. For two hours
she fingered in awful agony, and
while her death screams filled the
air the braves danced about the
fire, and the medicine men mutt
tered incantations. When morning
came nothing but the whitened
bones of the girl and the black en-
bers of the fire remained about the
stake. The disease from which SO
many of the Mojave braves died is
believed to be malignant typhoid
fever.

REPUBLICANS TO RATIFY.
The Leaders of the Forlorn Hope
in Audrain Preparing a
Demonstration.

At a meeting ofthe Harrison and
K1mball Club late Monday after
noon a committee was appointed
to solicit subscriptions and make
arrangements in the direction of a
Republican ratification in this city
on the Goth instant. Thomas E.
Day, Frank Terry, J. w. Howell,
Hubert Schmidt and H. Jacobson
compose the committee, which to-
day is working up the ratification.
1t is proposed, on the day men
toned, when a full county ticket
will be put in the field, to have
public speaking, music and march
ing, In the evening of that day,
parades, fire works music and other
forms of amusement will be on the
programme. The Republicans will
send to Moberly for a brass band,
and d fambeau club will be
secured if possible. In short,
the leaders of the forlorn hope ex-
pect to have a big time. They
will endeavor to secure Kimball,
who is their Gubernatorial sacri-
fee, to make a speech. That gen.
tleman is at present, with the as.
sistance of the Wheelers, com.
paigning extensively against the
Democrats Of Southern Missouri
and may be unable to come.
The committee is arranging with
the railroads to make reduced
rates to Mexico from all parts o.
Central Missouri; the prospects are
good for this town to be taken by
the Republicans for n day a
least.
