WICHITA, Kans., July 23.-E. L.
Brown, who disappeared on the 10Th of
January last, and who has been con-
sidered by many to have been muir
dered, returned home this evening.
His mind was in dazed condition; he
scarcely knew where he was, reduced
in weight from AS pounds to appar-
emily half that size, beard nearly three
inches long, hair four or five, and wear
ing the same suitOf clothes he disap-
peared with, which were threadbare,
showing many holes. and the same suit
of underclotheS. He approached the
him a tramp. She asked him what
he wanted, when he looked around,
seemingly not knowing where he
was. Finally he said Starving, -
and the lady handed him some bread,
which he tried to eat, but could not.
He then went out to the barn
wandered around and something about
his movement attracted his wife. He
finally came back and she told him TO
leave. He sat down on the steps and
said, "Knowle,n reaching out his
hands, she noticed a crooked finger
which correspondent with her husband
and scar on the hand also similar.
She examined infinitely his clothes and
found they were the same he was wear
ing when he disappeared. Assisted by
q lady visiting her, she took him into
the house and put him TO bed. Physi-
clans were sent for and found him al
most complete wreck physically, and
a scar on the back of his head which
indicated he had received severe blow
which was thought to explain his daZed
condition. He remained in 8 stupor
and was unable to speak or show any
signs of knowing what was going on
around him. 1t is thought physically
he may recover but as to his mental
troubles not SO much is VEN
tured. Brown was last seen between Z
and o'clock on the night of January
10, leaving the street car for his home

home that night and the next morning
his hat was found about half way TO
the house with blood on it, beef steak

Thomas Frey for the murder of John
M. Cooper, at Milford, Ohio, June 18th

been unsuccessful. There have been
recent conferences in this city, he
said. ''but they have not amounted to
much. The Alton will stay out, but it

MRS. H1RRIsON,s PLEA.


The Presidents WIFE Wants More
Room aud Privacy in the White
r. House.
WASHINGTON, d. g., July 20.LThe
Star this afternoon prints an interview
with Mrs. Harrison in which she is
quoted as saying that the insuficiencV
of room in the white house has become
q matter of very serious inconvenience.
Although the household of the presi-
dent is not the largest ever domiciled
in the official home of the chief magiS-
trate, the encroachments of official re-
quirements of late years upon the
apartments used for family purposes
has reached a point where relief has
become absolutely necessary. Even
the library has been taken up for
offices and the cabinet room now serves
the double purpose of public ante room
for senators and others admitted with
cards, as we'll as the place for the
meeting of the president and his adj
viSerS.
Mrs. Harrison continued: We are
here for four years. l do not look be-
yond that, as many things may occur
in that time, but I ami very anxious To
see the family of the president prOvid-
ed for properly and while am here
hope to get the present building put
into good condition. Very few people
understand to what straits the presi-
dents family have been put at times
| for lack of accommodations. Really,
there are only five sleeping apartments
and there is no feeling of privacy"
Mrs. Harrison says that the idea OF
making an extension to. the executive
mansion on the west side would not in
volve any loss on account of the remov
alof the present conServatOries.T The Elk
tension would enamble the PRESIDENT
family to have private home where
the presidents wife might see heI
| friends privately.
