An EnterprisinR Firm.

Wingo, Elicit & Crump, of Richmond,
Virginia, have shown themselves entitled
to the reputation they have OF being the
most enterprising boot and shoe house
in the country by establishing a model
sample room i'll Asheville in which to
show the merchants of Western North
Carolina their goods. The rooms are To-
Gated over J. ID. Brcvard's store, north
west corner of court square and the ar
rangement of the samples is as
perfect as it is unique, The line of shoes
kept in this room is full and complete,
much larger than could possibly be car
ried around in sample trunks, and mcr-
chants have the additional advantage OF
comfortable place in which to take
their time in selecting their purchases
The design of this sample room is the
work Of Mr.. E. H. Wright, the pushing
travelling man for Messrs Wingo, Elicit
& Crump, who will be glad to show hit
stock to merchants. In his absence Mr.
]. d. Brevard will wait on customers.

KIDNAPPED THE CHILDREN
ALMOST ANOTHER CHARLIE
ROSS CASE.

Two Children! Boys, spirited
Away, Their Hair was Dyed and
Then They We're Dressed Ia
Girls ClOthea.
SPRlNGFIELD, o., April 20.-Thc mys-
terry surrounding probably the most sen
sational case of child stealing since the
Charlie Ross affair has just been solved
by he arrest OF Miss Etfic Cutler, Miss
Bruncr, Miss Batchclcr and Ellen Talbot
on charge OF stealing Dr. Niles children,
at the ilstigation of their father, Dr.
Niles.
The story of the stealing reads more
like romance than like sober reality
DR.. and Mrs. Niles had been fighting in
the courts for tho custody OF their chill
drcn some time. Three weeks ago, on
the eve OF the decision Of the court the
children we're stolen and could not be
found.
Miss Ellen Talbot, drcssmakcr, has
confessed that she hncd a horse and
buggy and stole the children at five
o'clock in the morning from the house
where the sheriff had placed them for
safe keeping. She drove them twenty
miles to lonely country place, belong
ing to MIR. and Mrs. Cutler. There they
were kept III secret and allowed to sec
no one.
Miss Talbot further confessed that
about a week attcrward she again went
into the country and visited the house
where the children were confined They
were taken into room and the curls OF
the boys Paul and Louis, aged rospec-
| lively ID months and 4 years, were
cut off. Some powerful hair dve was
then applied and their hair became deep
black They were then dressed in suits
of girls clothing completing the disguise
The children were then taken to Pitts
burg and finally to Howell, Michigan.
The fat her WAS arrested and lodged in
Jail on the cnarSv OF child stealing, as he
is said to have planned the whole scheme
1t is believed by the LAWYERS engaged on
the case that the offence is clearly com
pretended under the Ohio statute on kid
mapping or child stealing for which the
punishment is from one to twenty years
in the pcnitcntlarv.
DR.. Mills had the children stolen, be-
cause it was generally thought the courts
would give them 10 his wife and she
threatened to put them in a convent, to
which he was violently opposed.
Mrs. Bruncr and Mrs. Kate Batcfclcr
were arrested last night for completely in
the kidnapping. Mrs. Batchclcr is the
boarding house keeper with whom the
children were Lett for safe keeping. The
sheriff has received telegram from
Michigan saying that the children will
soon be returned.

cident imprisoned in the mine below. For
fourteen hours the miners were shut IN

mass of wrcckage and food was lowered
by means OF a rope to the imprisoned
miners. Further work upon the passage
through which the food supplies were
passed, enabled the men engaged in tn,
work OF rescue to haul 200 miners, one
