One ssCIlarlje Ross" Found.

l.. G.. Dickinson eight years ago was
manager of some mining property at
Commonwealth, Wis, says a Los
Angeles special. There was a strike
of miners employed by him, in which
Dickinson came out best, and the
strikers swore vengeance. A few days
after the strike was settled Dickinson's
6-year-old boy Willie did not return
home from school, and the miners were
suspected of having made away with
him. Since that day his parents have
never set eyes on their child. The
father spent a fortune in trying to dis
cover the boys whereabouts. Pinker=
tons detective agency was enlisted in
the search, and a standing reward Of
$4,000 was offered for knowledge of
the boys whereabouts.
About two weeks ago q bright in
t~elligent lad was found roaming around
East Los Angeles by a policeman, who
took him to the boys and girls home.
The boy told a strange tale. He said
his name was Willie L. Dickinson: that
about six OF sever years ago strangers
took him from his home to Chicago.
where he was abandoned on the streets.
He fell in with other boys and made q
living selling papers and backing
boots till 1888, when he rode to Saora-
mento on a brake beam. Since he az
rived in California he has fallen in with
horse jockeys, who took him around to
fairs with them. When he reached
Los Angeles he concluded to remain.
A few weeks ago the chief of police
sent a letter to the Chicago chief of
police, relating the boys story, and to-
DAY he received an answer which tells
the story of the abduction and incloses
a photograph of the missing boy, which
tallies exactly with the boy here. The
chief OF police has informed the father,
who lives at Bessemer, Mich.

slow Proeress in Montana.

Slow Progress in Montana
A Helena special of the 10Th inst. says:
Little t%ranspired in either house of the
legislature this morning. After roll call
the senate took o recess until 2p. m. and
forthwith went into joint caucus in order
to arrive at SOM understanding as to
permanent organization. The most i'm
portant event of The day was the filing of
a suit against State Auditor Kinney by
Col. w. T. Saunders as attorney for the
republican members Of the lower house.
The suit is brought to compel the auditor
to pay the mileage and per diem Of the
members, which he refused to do, as no
appropriation has been made for payment.
1t is apparent that the suit is only brought
in order to bring the whole question be-
fore the courts. The senate completed Its
organization by the election of officers.
Seven democrats refused to vote, but the
presiding officer declared that seven re-
| publicans made a quorum, and otter the
| election Of a president pro tenn. o ma
jority of the democrats retired from the
chamber. The senate appointed a COM
mittee to wait on the republican house
and inform that body that the senate was
organized and ready for business.

The irish Leader Greeted by Great CrOwds
of Pcople-He Kcplles to Premier Salts
bury and discusses tho London Times
and the parncll Commission.
"A London dispatch says Mr.. Parnell
was met by q great crowd on his arrival
a. Nottingham, and was greeted with
mingled gro ms and cheers. He addressed
a large meeting in reply to the speech res
Gently made by Lord Salisbury. Mr..
Parnell declared that there never had
been. q movement Of such magnitude to-
the country which was SO comparatively
free from crime as the Land Leaguet
movement. The object of the home rule
movement, he said, was to regenerate
Ireland, especially with regard to her in
duslrial condition. Manufactures might
DO developed to such m extent as to. take
tho STRAIN of the land, and enable the
people to look to other mems than farm
ing for gaining a living; but Irishmen
themselves must promote Irish indus
tries-not at the expense Of the English
nut of the Irish e&chequer; or, best
of all, through the efforts Of local and in
dividual enterprise and with private capt.
tai. Mr.. Balfour's plan of making rail-
why's through impoi erished districts was
a vain expenditure of money.
Home rule, the speaker said, aimed at
national regeneration, and this implied
the regeneration Of the industries and the
industrial md commercial spirit of the
people. IT home rule were granted it

England from promoting industrial de-
velopments, but the money would he

instead Of being wasted, as now, to main

trickery. Expenditures of that sort would
enable Ireland to get and keep her head
above water, and so exercise and develop
the qualities of her people that she would
be no longer m exhibition for the wonder
and scorn Of the nations Of the world.
Briefly referring 10 the Parnell COM
mission, the speaker said that he believed
the judges report would not discredit the
nat onal movement.
If the Government had nothing to be
ashamed of in its connection with tho
Times, Mr.. Parnell added, doubtless it
would crafty curiosity by makingknown

try wanted to know how far the Govern

eminent offered him. The Parnell Com
mission, instead of trying the personal
indictment, had tried the Irish nation
and the movements Of the Irish party.

of q kerosene lamp, Mrs. Kate Houston and
her 2-year-oid daughter were fatally
burned. The mother, who is but % years
old, died soon after the accident. The child
is still alive, but will die. The husband

hIuoh Timber DESTROYED,

A practical lumberman who has OK
plored the, whole northern region is au-
thorlty for the statement that the govern
ment has lost So, 900, 900 in timber dues
alone since 1882 through fires set out
by Indians. He says that 800, 600, 900
would not cover the amount of timber that
has been destroyed by fire between Lake
Dauphin and Lake Winnipeg. The extent
of this dsplorable and wanton destruction
can only be realized by visiting the de-
vastatsd districts. T%heIndians set out the
fires to drive game and signal friends, and
evidently take no precautions to prevent
them spreading to the valuable timber
stretch.
Sentiment Was Too Strong for the Law.
Lewis B. Miller, Of Oxford, o., has had
q most remarkable experience with west
ern chivalry. Ten years ago he ran away
and married the daughter of Thomas F.
Bunus, a farmer, by whom he was en-
ployed. A girl baby was the result of the
union. When she was Z months old the
mother died. She has since lived wlth'her
grandparents, who now reside in Nemaha
county, NeL. Miller married again and a
year ago began proceedings in the federal
eouyt to get possession OF the child.

Literally Gu, to Pieces.

Sixty knife wounds were inflicted the
other night on Max Mantwill in the base
ment of his own home in Chicago. The man
was literally cut to pieces. The family
resided in the upper flat of a two-story
house. According to the wife's story her
husband went down stairs to the closet,
and had not been gone long when she
heard strange noises, but attached no i'm
p~ortance to them, and only remembered
the circumstance when, after two hours of
his absence, she began to worry. No OK
PLANTATION to the horrible ARRAY could be
found except q surmise which coupled
with it the name of q man known rs
Bruno Eberling. The police at once set
about investigating what, if any relations
existed between Eberling and Mrs. Mant.
