THE LOST Is FOUND.
Six-Year-Old Anna Redmond Re-

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Little six-year-oid
Anna Redmond, who was kidnapped
last May, was found at the Home for the
Friendless in this city yesterday by Il
neighbor of Mrs. Redmond, and re-
stored to her mother this afternoon.
The father Of the child became insane
over the loss Of his child. He was
given permission to-day by the asylum
authorities at Kankakee to return. He
was overjoyed at the recovery of his
long-lost daughter, and it is believed it
will have the effect of fully restoring
his reason. The child was kidnapped by
a Mrs. Gurley. the wife OF painter or
printer. The treatment of the little girl
by GGrley awakened the WRATH OF his
neighborS, and last January the child
was taken from him and sent to the
Home for the Friendiess. Gurley was
fined $50, but the officers Of the justice
court unwittingly allowed him to eS-
cape. since when nothing has been
learned of his whereabouts.

Sectional Murder Sentiment.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1 wish to cali public attention to the
comparison that may well be instituted
between the two public murders that
Just now are attracting general notice.
The Minneapolis Tribune harps on the
political feature of the Clayton murder
in Arkansas, but overlooks a parallel
case nearer home. 1t charges the South
ern Democracy with the murder of
CLAYTON, but what can it say of
the murder of G.. q. Mandt, of Mt.
Horeb, Wis. Clayton was murdered in
Arkansas and Democratic governor
offered 5000 for the arrest of the assas-
sins. Mandt' was murdered i'll Dane
county and only $500 is offered for the
apprehension OF the .nurderers. The
inference is that-in Southern Demo.
cratic state mans life is worth $1,000,
while in Republican Northern state a
life is worth s5y0. Mandt was Sean
dinayian, which may and may not have
cut some figure in this connection. |
leave it to the public to judge and to the
