CELSIUS Price is the son of the late
ex- Gov. Sterling Price, and was a
man of considerable state promi-
nence when he went AWAY He is
now so years old. DR.. Neidlet was
also a man of great local prominence.
In the early spring of 1887 these
three gentlemen were missing. There
was nothing to attract especial at
tention to their absence. There were
no business complications or social
sensations and it was said-and. in
fact, CELSIUS Price confirms the re-
pert-that they said farewell to
their friends and quietly announced
that they had consscrated themselves
to God and would probably never
again be seen by their friends or
families.
1t was claimed that they had be
come theosophists and had even des
cended to the most menial occupa-
tions in eastern cities in order to
carry out their whimsical theories
but all this Col. Price denies.
He says he is commissioned by
the supreme head of the mysterious
religious order to which he belongs
to deliver series Of lectures in st
Louis, and he has rented hall fol
that purpose. His first lecture vii
be on the relation between spiritual
ism and the christian religion.
