TURNED UP MISSING.
Mysterious Disappearance Which
May Be Explained.


Robert M. Nelson, foreman of the
Ramsey street quarters of the St. Paul
City Railway company, has gone from
his home to parts unknown. The rea-
son for his sudden departure and his
present location are matters for con-
lecture. All the circumstances sur
rounding his disappearance are absO-
lutely mysterious. He was first missed
from bis post of duty last Tuesday morn
ing, and from his home the same even
ing. His wife, who lives at 1853 Banfil
street, was, of course, distracted
when he failed to come home
Tuesday night. After passing
restless night she instituted search
for her missing husband Wednesday
morning. Inquiries revealed to her the
fact that Mr.. Nelson had not been seen
at his place of business since Monday
evening, and she became very much
alarmed lest he had met with foul play.
Her fears in this direction, however,
were dispelled Friday morning, when
she received by mail an order from her
husband, drawn upon the street railway
company, for the salary due him.
amounting to 215. The order was en-
closed in plain envelope, and was not
accompanied by note or letter. The
postmark upon the envelope was indis-
tinct, only the letters "Chic" being
djscernible. 1t was probably the stamp
of the Chicago postotfice.
1t was rumored among the street rail-
way employees that Nelson had fled with
several hundred dollars of the dcomr
pany's money and woman other than
his wife. Some said the woman who
accompanied him was his hired, girl.
But, upon investigation, these sensa-
tional rumors proved false. Al. the
cOmpany's headquarters it is denied
that Nelson is defaulter, and at his
home the hired girl with whom it is
said he elOped was seen yesterday by
GLOBE reporter. Mrs. Nelson, upon be-
ing questioned, stated that she and her
husband had always lived happily to-
gether and that the rumor relating to
an elopement was only malicious lie,
being circulated by Mr.. Nelson's enc
mieS-men whom he had discharged
from the service of the company She
said Mr.. Nelson had been thoroughly
discontinued with his position during
the past few months, and had often de-
clared his intention of leaving the city.
But he was at loss for reason for his
leaving so mysteriously. Until about
four months ago Nelson was foreman of
the West Seventh street barn, and since
hlstranfer to the Ramsey street quarters
he has complained of overwork. Mrs.
Nelson is inclined to believe that he has
gone East to find suitable employment,
and will soon send for her and their two
little children.

THE CREELMAN ABDUCTION.
Is the Story Shrewd Scheme to
Advertise the Singer?

huFcftlSO tl1O
A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
Yesterday stated that n. w. Lowry. the
theological student of the Southern uni
versity who last summer assumed the
guardianship of Percy Creelman, the
boy soprano of the Christ church choir,
and who is now charged with the lads
abduction, was, with Creelman, arrested
Thursday at New Albany, Ind, and
taken to Jacksonville for trial. Percy
Creelman is bright boy. He is the
son of shrewd mother, who, as the
record of the lads connection with
Christ church choir will show,
long ago learned to place
the very highest market value on his
talent as a vocalist. There were sew
eral very decided differences of opinion
between the boys mother and his man
ager, Mr.. Blake, as to the value of his
services when engaged for solo work
with the choral club. 1t was long ago
established that, despite Creelman hav-
ing been advertised as parallel phe-
nomenon to Kavanagh, he was nothing
more than asWeet boy singer, whose
voice possessed none of the fullnesS and
strength which characterized Kav-
anagh, and made him famous
from ocean TO ocean. Creelman Is an
unusually fine singer, but no phenom-
enon. Friends Of Mr.. Lowry in st.
Paul scout the idea of the mercenary
motives imputed to him, and express
the belief that the entire cry of abduc-
rion is scheme to give the boy such
advertising as he could never hope to
obtain by legitimate use of his vocal
powers. The latter view is pretty gen
orally accepted. By the sensational
printed accounts of his abduction, Creel-
man will be made known as a singer in
localities to which he would otherwise
have remained unknown forever, at
least as a soprano.

THESE SHOULD BE DONE.

Clean up the streets. Their present
condition would disgrace the municipal
ity of Pekin.
In the II m. saloon closing innovation
close all or none. Let there be no dis
elimination in this matter.
Convince the people that any good
thing can ever come again from "a cti-
zen's committee of one hundred"
Label the electric cars with night
lamps. AS it is, it is impossible on q
dark street to distinguish The several
lines.
Make it apparent to a few employees Of
the police department that they are
servants of the public, and not licensed
as DULLES.
Abolish the chamber of commerce as
a city advisory board and give it name
so that Its emanations will be ranked at
their face value.
Put few additional cars on the Wa
basha and Rice street line, SO that they
will run more frequently than every
twenty minutes.
Furnish blue glasses for the average
citizen, so he can distinguish the Ordin-
airy grand jury from an organized close
corporation of thick-and-thin partisanS.
Rigidly enforce the law relating to
prices for hack hire. At present no at
tention whatever is paid to the matter,
and the drivers change whatever eXtor-
tionate rate they please.
Keep up the crusade against wine
stalls. This does not mean TO punish
the offender in a small way and ignore
the keeper of the palatial groggery. Get
them all and punish them all. No dis
examination.
Require midwives to pass proper eX-
animation prior to their being allowed
to practice. Many of those now practic
ing cannot write their own names. They
are responsible for much of the bung-
ling that occurs i'll midwifery.
Put quietus on the promoters of mas
Querade dances, which are merely a
subterfuge to admit of the sale of liquor
bp special permit to depraved black
guards or loose women. These affairs
are becoming entirely too frequent.
Widen the southern spans of the Wa
baSha street bridge. No economic wall
will answer the imminent necessity OF
the improvement or serve to avert the
calamity that will surely result from
disregard of the present dangerous con-
ditiOn.
Suspend from practice for six months
every midwife or physician who fails to
turn certificates of birth into the health
Office within forty-eight hours. By the
present system-or by the lack of sys-
tenn at present-the certificates come in
sometimes five months old. The records
of births Ill the health department are
ValueleSS except as waste paper.
Instantly and heavily fine for con-
tempt any police officer whose be-
hayior in the municipal court during
the trial of case warrants such
measure. The action of a police captain
In connection with a recent case was
disgraceful. He should have been fined
500 and suspended until the money
was paid. Discipline is good thing all
round.
