Children CRY for
Pitchers Castoria.
BOUND HAND AND FOOr.
A Curious Story Fold by a Young
Married Woman of Duluth,
Mimi.

Deluth, Mimi, Feb. In lone
ly part of The city, IN small shanty,
half block from the terminus of the
Fourth street line, Mary Cameron was
found by conductor of a street car,
bound hand and foot. She was a
young married woman, - years old.
Her little fou year old girl gave the
alarm which brought assistance. She
tells strange story. Last evening"
she said ri dreamed a man stood over
me with carving knife. This MORN
ing my husband, John left at five
O'Clock and | was alone with two
children. About $50 a young man
with black hair and a mustache
knocked at the door and wanted
something to eat. While 1 was get
ting something ready another young
fellow, probably Swede, came 10.
The latter seized me, while the other
began searching the house. was
thrown down, bound with a rope, and
the Swede stood over me with a
carving knife, threatening to cut my
throat if screamed. After breaking
into my trunk, opening my bureau
drawers, and stealing everything of
value they could find, one also struck
me with a stick of wood"
The woman is young, rather good
looking, with dark hair. blue eyes and
dreamy, far away look. The matter
is involved in great mystery. The
police are inclined 20 believe the hus-
band tied his wife before departing
for work. The day before a neighbor
of Mrs. Cameron's accused her of
stealing 50 and an officer told her he
should arrest her the next day if she
refused to give it up. The chief of po-
lice thinks the woman resorted to a
trick to get sympathy, but her two
children, girl of and boy of
3, insist that they saw the men disap-
pear behind The house. Mrs. Came
ron told your correspondent that the
thieves took silver watch and 50 so
in money, but did not insult her. To
the Off er she said she had been out
ragged. Her face bears marks of q
violent blow. The police are trying
TO solve the mystery, but without
success so far The fact that the
children swear to the story of the wo-
man makes it appear prOable.

A Picture of n Printer

The BAzoo is IN possession of a
recent photograph of Justice Milo
Blair, of this city. The artist has done
an excellent piece of work and the
lineaments and true presentment of
the gentleman there set forth so very
faithfully, are those of one who has
played prominent part in journalistic
and other public affairs.
Milo Blair was born October 81 ,
1927, at Blair's bay, on Lake George,
Washington county, New York
something over sixty-three years ago.
He entered the office of the Grand
Rapids, Mich, Eagle, as an appren.
tice to the printing business, on the
oath day of June, 1915, and worked
in a printing Office for thirty-seven
years, as devil, compositor, and edi.
tor, retiring in 1882.
Mr.. Blair was for one or two terms
president of the Missouri Press sssoci.

Mr.. Il. z. Winans q guest at the
Midland hotel, Kansas City, yester.
day speaking of The late King Kala-
kaua said: 81 remember hearing a
good story on the king which is worth
relating.
The story Was told me by j. Ran.
dell Brown, the first among modern
mind readers Brown was the man
who mi lated Bishop into the secrets
or mind reading. He visited the
Sandwich islands and while there
King kalakaui, ever on the look out
for something new tested the merits
of the mind reader. One of the adj.
vantages of mind reading is that
the mind reader is not obliged
to understand the language spoken
by the subject. He can detect
the thoughts of the Spanisrd. tn e In
dan or the Chinaman. The king of
the Sandwich islands tried to get
ahead of the mind reader by doing
his thinking in the native language,
but Mr.. Brown quickly Translated the
thoughts into English and explained
the matter TO the king. The king
was then invited TO stCrete a button
in the room. Instead of
hiding 1t in the room he concealed it
in his mouth. Brown was puzzled for
a moment, but finally told the king
that the button was in his mouth.
Determined moi to let the mini
reader get ahead of him King
kalakaua attempted to swallow the
button. 1t was a task more difficult
than his maj sty had anticipated, and
ne narrowly escaped choking to death.
His physicians and attendants were
angry and indignant and blamed
Brown, but the king recovering, the
mind reader was allowed to leave the
Islands. Had King Kalakaua choked
to death on The button, Brown would
have been fortunate in making his
escape. As it was the king sent him
number Of presents and compliment
ID him upon his triumphs."

BELIEVE THEY'VE GOT EN-.
Two Burglars Thought to be
Hid Davis and His Pal,
Under Arrest.

The Kansas City Times IF to-day
says: TIE notorious kid" Davis and
his pal. X. q. Morley, knnwn as the
"Courtry Cousin" are believed to be
again in custody.
Davis aud Morley are two of the
most dangerous and expert burglars
and safe blowers in the country. They
were coplured in this city about two
months ago by ex.Ufficer w. Sarver
with trunk full of stnlen properly.
fhe arrest wss made at lodging
house on East Twelfth street, Just as
the pair were carrying their booty up
stai:s from hack. The properly in
the trunk was principally silks ard
jewelry stolen from store they had
burglarized at Higginsville. The
stuff was identified aud officers from
Higgirsville took the two burglars to
the jail ct Boonville to await trial
About a month ago they escaped with
others.
\ few nights after ward the post
office at Greenridge, Mo-, was broken
into and the safe blown open and
large quantity Of stamps and money
stolen. TIE wife of Davis, a smali
b ackeyed woman, Was arrested at
Sedalia few days later, and in her
possession was found nearly 5000 of
stolen stamps. The property was traced
TO her posse sion by her efforts at sell
ing the stamps. Mrs. Davis is now
in jsil here awaiting United S;aes
grand jury action.
Yesterday Inspector Mcclure of
the postOffice department received a
telegram notifying him of the arr, st,
at some point in Texas, of wv burg
lars, believed to be the "Kid" and
Morley. MIR. Mcclure is confden
that he has the right parties and
called at The pliice headquarters last
night fer the photographs of the two
crooks, VIII CHI he mailed ON to Texas
to aid in the identified ion of The
prisoners. The description of the
two tallies exactly with that Of Davis
md his partner.
If it should prove to be them, they |
will be tried .On charges Of postOffice |

Merehanics' Lien Law.

The senate judiciary committee,
says the Jefferson City Tribune, hiss
recommended a change in the me-
chanics' lien law which is matter of
no small concern. Willie the present
law is intended to protect wOrkmen
and persons who furnish material, il
is frequently used as screen behind
which dishonest contractor can forti-
fly himself and defy justice. He bears
no equsl share of the responsibility of
paying his workmen the wages due
them. For example: A man may let
a contract for building a house and
pay the contractor every cent due him,
AMI unless the contractor has paid his
employees in full, as well as the par
ties furnishing the material, both can
come in and file liens on the property
and hold the same until all claims are
settled.
The bill reported by the senate COM
mittee is not for the purpose of reeov-
ering what is due them, but to afford
the properly owners some protection
from dishonest contractors. 1t is pro.
posed to make him share the respoUsi-
bility of paying his employees. If he
is paid in good faith and no notice of
has been served, then his employees be
come equally interested with the pro-
perry owner in compelling him to dis
charge his obligations. The bill was
introduced by Mr.. Stone and has re-
ceived careful consideration at the
hands of the committee.

How the Beagle Case is Sized
up on the Coast,

up on the Coast.
The San Francisco Chronicle of
November oath has the above head
Ing and long account Of our late
visitors, Bloom and Douglas. that
varies somewhat from the reports
published in the ADVERTISER.
The Chronicle states that a Mr..
Levy, detective, was III San Fran
cisco waiting for papers to take the
men ii they should land at that city
1t goes on describing the men and
their exploits, and closes by relating
the following:
" Taking advantage of the ebbing
| tide one fine night about four months
ago, Douglas and Bloom boxed up
the reserve funds of the Australian
banking Company, amounting to
$4,000, and transferred them to the
hold of the Beagle, and then went off
on yachting trip of indefinite length,
leaving their associates in business to
bemoan their departure
Before sailing, the yacht was fitted
out with cannon and plentiful sup
ply OF small arms. Arrangements had
also been made with the king of
opium smugglers, who is now in Ho-
nolulu, to aid him in his contraband
trade. The Beagle is supposed to be
at Honolulu for the purpose of carry
ing away the stores Of opium which
are kept at the islands by the SNUG
CLING ring.
"Levy is a son of Sydney capitalist
who was duped by the clever adven-
turers. He came to this city for the
purpose of discovering the where
abOuts of the wives of the two de-
faulters. He is confident that they are
in hiding here awaiting instructions
from the buccaneering spouses.
'It is hardly possible that Bloom
and Douglas will ever be captured
by the ordinary processes known to
law. They carry large crew on the
Beagle, which is heavily armed. The
yacht was formerly an Australian de-
tense cutter, and it would require the
aid of war vessel to capture her on
the seas.
"Mr. Levy was very reticent about
his mission in this city. He attrib-
uted the publicity given to his acts to
newspaper correspondent who was
fellow passenger on the way up.
Chief Crowley and Captain Lees have
held frequent consultations with Mr..
Levy with view to their taking ac-
ton in case the Beagle comes to this
port. Detectives are ssalso securing
the city to find the whereabouts of
the wives of the two defaulters. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Levy has already
communicated with the Washington
authorities. He has cabled to New
South Wales for his credentials.
