organizations to the exclusion of the home,

form in these matters. The duties of the
Church to protect and help the home were
all touched upon in plain terms. 1t urged

ONLY ONE TURNS UP
OF TWO PERSONS WHO DISAPPEARED
THREE WEEKS AGO.

An Infatuated Farmer Found Almost
of Numbering a Little Girl Who Refused
to Marry Him.
NEW CASTLE, Oct 5-[Spscial About
three weeks ago Samuel Duncan, substan-
tial farmer of Sheuango township, and q 13-
year-old daughter of Mark Ewing, another
farmer of that neighborhood, suddenly dis
appeared Duncan married man, but
tor some time prior 20 his mysterious disap-
pearance had not lived with his wife His
infatuation was a mania, and he offered to
marry the child, but his proposal was en-
phaticallv vetoed. He then threatened to
kill the girl. and two DAYS later they both
disappeared. Since then the local authori.
ties have been tireless in their efforts to get
some trace of Duncan. Many people here
still think the man carried out his threat.
This afternoon Duncan was found hidden
in corn shock on the farm of Eli Becker.
He was in terrible condition-dirty, un.
kempt and starving. He SAYS he has had no
food for many days. He refuses to utter
syllable that would help clear up the
mystery of the fate of the young girl. 1t is
reported that when Duncan was last seen
three weeks ago he had the girl by the
arm and was apparently half forcing, half
coaxing her away with him. He will be
brought to New Castle Jail tonight.
The officers whor have been working on
the case believe that the girl has been
murdered, and the excitement is so great
here that if this theory should be speedily
verified the prisoner will be in danger of
lynching Tomorrow morning search TO
sustain or disprove this belief will be in
stituted

How the Famous Crack Shot Got the Best
of q Mexican Crowd.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
~ once saw Davy Crockett clean up q
crowd of crack shots, I" said Judge Asa Mus
grove, one of the early "pathinders," who
was enroute to his home in Northern Indiana.
sit was in 1884, shortly before the outbreak
of the war between Texas and Mexico. I
was in Santa Fe, N. M. A party of q
dozen or more were shooting at target with
rifles, when a stranger rode up, threw his
legs across the pommel of his saddle, and
watched the sport He had a long rifle
strapped across the back of his saddle, one
of those old-fashioned affairs, heavily orna-
mented with silver. He was inclined to
criticise the shooting. an was invited to set
the pace. He replied that he never threw
away any ammunition, but that if they
would put up their crack shot he would
shoot with him for ten Mexican dollars.
''The crowd agreed, and the stranger un-
slung his gingerbread gum as his opponent
dubbed it. Perhaps y'd like t raise the
bet?' said the stranger, as he ambled up to
the crowd. 1t was doubled, then trebled.
He then offered to bet his gun against that of
his opponent The wager was accepted,
and the stranger brought his rife to his
shoulder. The muzzle 'wobbled' badly,
and some one cried out that he was going to
shoot circle around the target.
''The stranger lowered his gun and offered
to wager his horse against forty Mexican
dollars on the result. His proposition was
promptly accepted, and he once more
brought the gingerbread gum to his shoul-
der. But it did not wobble this time. He

hole, winning easily As he rode off some
one cried out, asking his name. Davy
Crockett came the reply, and the party
adjourned to the nearest saloon without an
other word"

REID TO BUSINESS MEN.

He Expresses His Confidence in Harrison's
Reelection and Tells Why He Believes
That Way-Benefits of the Mckinley
Law to Financiers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Wholesale
Drygoods Republican Club held largely
attended meeting this afternoon at its rooms,
384 Broadway. Hon. Whitelaw Reid,
Hon. John D. Spellman and Judge John
Brennan made addresses. Many prom
inent business men were present Mr..
Reid's speech was mainly devoted to the
Mckinley Law and the financial question.
Mr.. Spellman expressed his pleasure at the
great interest business men were taking in
politics. Mr.. Reid, among other things,
said:
Two years ago this country surprised the
world by casting phenomenal majOritieS for
the Democratic candidates. We, on the
other side, could not understand it at first.
but then came a man, declared to be the
most popular statesman in this or any other
countr. who explained it by saying that
the two-weeks-old tariff was not old enough
to speak for itself. I appeal to you, busf-
ness men of New York, if it is not old enough
to speak for itself now. You are to-day hav-
interference to business. WhyP Because
the Republican party has infused new blood
in business through the new markers it has
brought in, thanks to the Mckinley bill.
Merchants will tell you they are receiving
orders from quarters they had never heard
from previous to the adoption of the Nc
Kinley bill.
Then Mr. Reid complimented Mr.. Blaine
and there were cries of. "Why didn't you
bring him along?" The reply was. because
1 kept him out pretty late last night"
Continuing, he said:
Reciprocity has brought to New York
what it onght to have had 40 years ago, and
that is Central and South American and
West India markets. Is it any wonder that
the men who brought this trade to this
country should be badly thought of in Eng
land? Is it any wonder that in London they
should want to see them defeated at the
elections of November? Whose country is
this, anyway? Are we running iG to please
the English Oh ourselves?
How can business man cast a vote to
bring destruction and disaster? I close
with single appeal. Do you want to bring
about Il change disastrous to your business
No. Do you want to vote for the party
which has promised to do so? Ii you do not
believe what they say, why trust it If you
do believe them, then why, again, trust it?
Mr.. Reid concluded by asking every man
present to vote for that "sagacious, incor-
ruptible man who has occupied, and pre-
dict will occupy, the White House for four
years to come"
