WHAT BECAME OF THEM?
Kidnapped and Taken to the Mountains
by Texan for Alleged Debt.

Kidnapped and Taken to the Mountains
by a Texan for Alleged Debt.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July 81
Three weeks ago Mr.. E. F. Spinney, a
business man of this place and large
ranch owner in South park, was kid
mapped and taken to the mountains by a
Texan named Harris, who claimed that
Spinney owed him $4,000 for bunch of
cattle he had purchased of him. Since
that time nothing has been heard of
Spinney. Mr.. Harrington, brother-in-
law of Spinney, raised the requisite
sum recently and went into the noun
tains to pay the ransom, but he, too, has
disappeared. The Texan said that he
would hold Spinney ten days and the
money not forthcoming in that time he
would kill him. 1t is feared that he
has carried out his threat.

bruises. The wreck was soon cleared
up and trains were running in few
hours.

A VERY NARROW ESCAPE
FOR MRS. HARRISON, MRS. M'KEE AND
BABY M'KEE.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 19.-Last even
ing horse driven by boz ran away on
Washington street, just as the presi-
dents carriage, containing Mrs. Harri-
son, Mrs. Mckee and Baby Mckee, was
passing. The runaway barely missed
striking the Harrison vehicle, causing
great excitement on the crowded
thoroughfare. The frenzied animal
finally struck an awning post with great
force and was thrown to the ground,
where it lay bleeding.
Mrs. Mckee Swooned
and number of spectators hurried to
her assistance, but she rallied in a few
minutes and the White House coachman
drove hurriedly to the Harrison cottage.

Typhoid and Gastric Fevers Prevalent at
Manor.
MANOR, Pa, July 21.-A malignant
fever has been ragingin this community
for the past four weeks. There are two
kinds, typhoid and gastric. One death
occurred from gastric fever and three
from typhoid. A week ago about
twenty-siX cases were reported. There
are now about seventeen cases. Three
new cases are reported. The cause of
the fever is attributed to the water. 1t

their utmost endeavors to prevent its

fectants Several cases of la grippe
were also reported here, but it does not

Wood, who was about seventy-five feet

wounded man was brought to the city
and as the result of an examination by
physicians, it was discovered that the
sight was entirely gone, and as a conse-

that Seitner was excited at the moment
of firing and did not see his companion.

He Is Appointed Capt ain-General of Cuba
and Captures an Heiress.
LONDON, July 21.-The new captain
general of Cuba, Gen. Polavieja, will
leave Spain Aug. 10, to take possession
of his post. Polavieja is a self-made
and altogether remarkable man. The
grandees Of Spain are wondering how
he will be received by the naughty
aristocrats of Cuba. He was born of
very humble parents, has not drop of
blue blood in his veins, even through an
illegitimate channel. and not many years
ago was a private soldier. Against these
so-called advantages he set the fact that
he has played with little King Alfonso,
that he is favorite of the Queen Re-
gent, that he has gained experience as a
commander of various military districts
at home, and that he recently married
an heiress.

RUSH OF LIVE STOCK IN MARKET

StOckman.
There is just now an extra liberal
supply of all kinds of fat stock upon the
markets, under the pressure of which
prices have, within few weeks, shrunk
to greater or less extent all along the
line. This is the case especially with
cattle, which were never marketed fO
mid summer in such quantities as have
recently been crowded into Chicago.
Hogs are coming forward in unpreced-
ented numbers for the summer season,
and prices are slowly settling accordingly
Sheep, though still higher than usual at
this season, are being shipped in sur
prising totals. In fact it would be
singular that prices for any kind of stock
should do better than they are doing,
with such supplies as are now crowding
forward for sale. Just how long these
supplies may last is problematical, but
it does not seem likely that they will
Tighten very materially for some weeks
TO come at least.

GOOD manners must have solid
foundation in kindness and self-control.
To be genuine, they must be the fruit of
sincerity and good feeling; and their ex-
ercise must be in conformity with the
working of these qualities in the heart.
No art can successfully counterfeit true
elegance of manners and department.
To be real, they must have roots deep
below the surface in the soul and heart.

THOSE who have resources within
themselves, who can dare to live alone,
want friends the least, but, at the same
time, best know how to prize them the
most. But no company is far preferable
to bad, because we are more apt to catch
the vices of others than their virtues, as
disease is far more contagious than
health.

Il do not think. said the distin-
gushed actress. Helen Barry, to an in
terviewer recently, that woman on
the stage is called upon 10 meet any
more or greater temptation than a
woman off the stage. II a woman is at
all attractive she is bound TO be brought
face to face with temptation anywhere.
She is sought after wherever She goes,
whether it be shopping or attending So
cial entertainments. So far as pretty
women on the stage are concerned, it is
more difficult to secure an introduction
to them than it is to pretty women who
are not connected with the theatrical
profession at all.
AT all first class thea ers strict
rule is enforced " she went on. that no
strangers are allowed ON tie stage, and
managers of theatcrs do not introduce
their friends TO people on the other side
of the footligirti except npder exiraordi-

est approach to anything of that sort
with which l am acquainted is whore
