In the Democratic primary election
in Louisville last week, the most un-
blushing frauds were committed by
friends Of the various candidates.
None but registered voters were en-
titled to vote, but many hoaters were
run in and voted under the names of
absent or deceased voters. This
shows that even with a registration law
frauds may be committed, unless the
voter be required to produce his GER
tificate of registration as provided by
the Christian county law.

SOUTHERN BAPTIsTs.
The Fort Worth Convention In
Full Blast.


Full Blast.
More than 1000 delegates are at
tending the Southern Baptist Con-
vention at Fort Worth, which met on
the 9th. The delegates who went
through Arkansas or by New Orleans
were delayed day by high waters.
The people of Ft. Worth are treating
the visitors with great hospitality,
their homes being thrown open for
their entertainment. The session will
be concluded to-day or tomorrow.
THE FIRST DAY.
The following extracts are taken
from the Ft. Worth Mails account Of
the first days business:
"The association was called to order
at 10 a. m. by President Jonathan
Haralson, of Selma, Alabama.
Religious exercises were conducted
by Rev. j. A. Kirtley, of Kentucky.
The roll was then called, and the
following States represented delegates
present as below:
Alabama, 26; Arkansas, 81; West
Arkansas and Indian Territory, s.;
District of Columbia, /; Florida, 5;
Georgia, 1l2; Indian Territory, L;
Kentucky, n; Louisiana, 81; Mary
land, 5; Mississippi, 45; Missouri, 65;
North Carolina, 35; Western North
Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 81: Ten
nessee, 81; Texas, 1872; Virginia, 34."
The convention organized by re-
electing Hon. Jonathan Haralson
President; Rev. Lansing Burrows, of
Augusta, GA, and Rev. Oliver Fuller,
of Baltimore, Secretaries, and Geo.
W. Norton, of Louisville, KY, Treas
urer.
A resolution was offered, and was
adopted by standing vote, express
ing the sympathy of the convention
with Rev. j. Morgan Wells, pastor of
the First Baptist church, in the afllic-
ton visited by divine providence
which deprived the association of his
wisdom and fellowship.
Mr.. Baten in his address of well
come was warm in his proffer of hos
pitality, and hoped that the meeting
would rebound to the glory of the
cause. One thing had sorely troubled
the local committee, for the head of
the great enterprise, the man upon
whose invitation the convention had
decided to come to Fort Worth, had
been prostrated by illness. He had
worked and planned while others slept
and ate, and to him the city had
looked to carry out the invitation to
accept the hospitality. At the time
when the names Of guests were pour
ing into his study by hundreds, i'll
ness overlook him and while he was
not in danger, the local committee
were at sore loss in being deprived of
his executive ability.
president Haralson called upon
Rev. G. III. Nash, of Hopkinsville, Ky.,
to respond. 1t was quite evident that
the gentleman had received no pre-
vious notification, and was for a time
quite non-plussed to know what to say;
but after moment he grasped word
that led him to sure footing and he
struck out in splendid style. He said
that while riding ON the cars and
looking upon the grandeur of the
beautiful prairies he was filed with |
astonishment and admiration. When
he looked upon Fort Worth and her
bountiful hospitality he felt like the
queen of Sheba when she looked upon
the grandeur surrounding King Solo
mon, his breath was entirely taken
away from him. He had been hear
ing of the grandeur of Fort Worth,
and now he saw it with his own eyes,
and was delighted beyond measure"

The Victory Of n Woman Who Understood
Railroad Human Nature.

Inc victory OF u woman VINO UnderstOOt
Railroad Human Nature.
Now and then one finds a person who
understands railroad human nature, as
exhibited by the gatemen in the depots.
Their orders are to pass no one in with
out ticket, and it is the easiest thing
in the world for them to wave back old
age, youth, beauty and any body else
who wants to pass in TO meet friend
expected on that train. One OF the sur
lest officials / ever saw has gate in
the L. .S N. depot in Cincinnati, and |
have seen him turn stifily away from
desperate men, weeping women and
bowling children. To every protesta-
tion he had but one answer:
Cant pass 'thout ticket"
The other day while was watching
him little blue-eyed woman came glid-
ing into the throng waiting at the
gates. OF the two tenders she selected
this one to operate on, although any one
could have seen that the other had the
biggest heart. After several people had
been turned away she slid forward In q
graceful way and inquired.
'Beg pardon, sir, but am speaking
TO the president of the road?"
No, ma'aml" he stammered, thrown
on his beam-ends by the query.
"Ah! you look so much like him. Are
you the superintendent"
"No, ma 'am-nct exactly"
"Then you must be the manager?"
Hardly, ma'am."
'Dear mel but how could tho people
be so mistaken" she went on. "Half a
dozen of them said you were one OF the
high officials, and am so disappointed
to find you are not. Perhaps, though,
you have the general managers powers
when he is not here?"
what is it, ma'am?"
my sister will be in on the $3.50, and
/ So want to go inside the gates and
help her with the children. As you

be interrupted.
"You are so kind"
Don't mention it."
"liut all leading railroad men are
ever courteous" she said as parting
bit of taffy, and then she made bee
line down the depot.
We turned to look at the gateman,

he was never heard of outside of his

he is but little mourned eveu in his

horse, the property of Wood, and was
armed with Winchester rifle. After
getting their wagon loaded they
started for home, and at about 8
o'clock p, m. they were within about
three and half miles of the ranch,
at point where the road ran around
range of sand hills, across
which there was a trail that cut off
nearly half the distance to Woods
cabin. At this point Brown said to
his friend !" I think I'll cut across the
hills; believe can kill an antelope
and beat you home.n He galloped
gaily up the hill and was out of sight
within minute. From that day to
this not vestige or man or horse, or
any of their accouterments, has been
discovered. Col. Brown was notified.
He came at once to Denver, offered
large reward, and put all the de-
tective machinery in the land at
work. At his request, the comman-
der of the military department sent
out q company of cavalry, which
secured the country for fifty miles
around the ranch. I directed my in
terpreter, n. M. Curtis, to take four
OF the most skillful Ute hunters and
trailers, namely, "Black john"
"Wauzits," "Ungapias" and "Piah,"
and examine the country around and
among the sandhills.
These fellows could follow a moe
casin track on the bare prairie at
trot, and they worked faithfully for
week searching for some sign of the
lost boy, going up and down every
gulch or arroyo and scanning every
"buffalo wallow." They watched
the carrion birds, the vultures
and - the ravens, and cautiously
followed the coyotes, thinking
these might lead them to where the
boy had met his death. The wretched
father. thinking that perhaps soLe
prowling band of Northern Indians
had carried off the horse after killing
the young man and secreting his
body, procured an order from the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs di-
recting all the Western agents to ex-
anime the horse herds of the Indians
under their charge, but the horse was
never found. There had been no hos
tile Indians in that region during the
summer, and the Utes had not yet
gone over there on their regular hunt.

f. MY SERIOUSLY LOST.
\ Missing Man, No Trace of Whom
Has Ever Been Found.


Fro m the Denver News.
A history of the early days in Colo
RADIO would be incomplete without
narrating many instances of the
mysterious disappearance of indi-
vidual or associated hunters, trappers
and prOspectors under circumstances
which left little doubt of their hav-
ing been murdered by Indians or
white outlaws. In most of these
cases the mystery has been cleared
away-sometimes after many years
by the finding of the victims scat
tered remains on the trackless prairie
or in some lonely mountain gulch,
but the story here told has no. such
sequel.
In the spring of 1873 there came to
Denver from Dayton, o., a young man
named Brown. He brought letters of
introduction to number of persons
here, and stated that he had come to
Colorado partly for his health and
partly to look in to the cattle business,
with view of engaging in that occu-
patton, providing the outlook was
favorable. He was the son of Col. E.
Z. Brown, at that time commandant
of the Soldiers Home at Dayton, and
among his letters was one to Gen. E.
McCook, Col. B. and the General, who
was then Governor of Colorado, hav!
ing been warm friends during the
war. Young Brown also had
a letter to another old friend
of his father, who had a cattle
ranch about seventy-five miles east
of Denver, on or near the head of
Beaver creek, and, as / recollect,
some twelve miles from Cedar Point,
a station ON the then Kansas Pacific
railway. This man, who still lives
in Denver, I will call Wood. Col.
Brown had made arrangements with
Wood, through correspondence, for
his son to stop at Woods ranch dur
ing the summer for the purpose of
studying the details of the cattle bus
mess and acquiring that art, now num-
bered among the 'Jost" in Colorado,
namely. of getting rich by turning
your investment loose in the shape OF
herd of cows and allowing them to
rus tie" on Uncle Sans pasture for
our or five years.
Brown came into Denver FREQUENT.

when one morning Mr.. Wood walked

troubled, and after the usual saluta
lions were exchanged he asked if
had seen Brown within day or two

at my invitation, took seat and pro
