Interstate w. G. T. u.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Md, July o.
The w. G. L. u. interstate conference
closed its five days session last evening.
The day was given to reports, election of
officers and other conference business. The
resolutions are very stalwart. They de-
clare for total abstinence and prohibition,
denOunce all license as criminal, and those
who favor license as parties to the crimes
that follow out of the saloon: demand one
standard of morals for men and women; de-
clare it worse than treason to withhold the
power of the ballot from the virtuous
and intelligent women of the home
and lodge it with the vice and ignorance of
the saloon for homes destruction; bid Cod
speed to the party that stands with them
against the saloon and bears their banner
For God and home and native land" and
finally recognize in recent apparent re-
verses sure Omens of victory for prohibition.
The following officers were elected for the
coming year: President, Mrs. c. B. Buel,
of Chicago; vice-presidents, Mrs. T. w.

A strange story from wichita.

WICHITA, Kan, July DE. +. Brown, a
well-kuown business man of this city .disap-
peared last January. His hat, covered with
blood. and a blood-stained car coupling
pin were found near his house, and led to
the suspicion that he had been
murdered. To-day he returned to
his home, insane, and having all the
appearances of tramp. His wife
did not know him, and ordered him from
the door. Later he returned, and she recog-
nized in the tramp her husband. A large
scar on his head leads to the belief that his
murder was attempted. but failed. and
since then it is supposed that he has been
kept concealed by his would-be murderers
until to-day, when he escaped and found
his way home. He can give no account of
himself.
