Tears-He Finds Wife and Son
In Kansas City.
snecial to the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Feb BIN hotel
here few days ago, Cd elderly gentleman
with long gray beard, registered as D. (.
Johnson. AS he registered he looked over
the page, and turning to the clerk said:
Il see registered here d. R. johnson and
mother. Do YOU know anything about
theml" The clerk replied that he knew
nothing except that the two had come in
the night before. The old gentleman gave
the clerk his card and asked him to send it
up to Mr.. johnson, remarkirg that while
D. Z. johnson was common name, he had
never CHANGED TO meet man with the name
before except himself.
In answer 10 the card a man about thirty
wears old came down and the old gentle
mar shook hands with him, told him the
reason for sending the card, and the two
then walked over to retired corner sat
down and began talking. In about five
minutes the elderly man was seen to get up
and almost shout: ''You are my son, my
son take me to your mother"
In 1859 the old gentleman had left his
home in Vicksburg about q year after he
had married 4 very pretty southern girl,
and had gone to California in search of
wealth. There he was lost in the noun
tains for six months and on coming out and
writing home ne found that his wife had
left their home and after that he had never
been able TO hear Of her. He proSpered in
California and year after year had made a
fruitless pilgrimage 70 the south. He was
now on one Of these pilgrimages.
His wife's story was that her husband
had gone into the mountains. She received
letters from San Francisco telling her of
his probable DEATH Months passed by,
and, hearing nothing from him, she con
clu6ed that the terrible news was true.
Thrown on her own resources she decided
to 90 north and teach school She found a
quiet little village in New Hampshire.
There her child was born and prew up to
manhood and position. She had always
longed to 90 to California, woman like, say
ing that she felt as if she might find trace
of her husband

Them that no time is to be lost in the move

smaller, but the full lips were well
shaped and there were white, even teeth
behind them. Her figure, like that Of
most Saxon peasant girls of her age, was
robust and vigorous; she wore 4 simple
bodice and skirt, and her feet and legs
were bare. Altogether, thought her a
very agreeable apparition.

will be nominated for governor. There is
every indication of a lively contest over the
presidential question. United States Sena-
tor Palmer has an unquestioned majority
of the state delegates, but there is a strong
movement among certain southern Illinois
against any instruction what
ever of delegates to the national conven-
ton. congressman Forman, Filth
ian, Wike and Williams are un-
derstood to be in favor of tie
convention declaring unequivocally for
Grover Cleveland, and no Endorsement
whatever being given Palmer and his can
didacy. The members of the forthcoming
committee on resolutions are already at
work on the platform. The planks thus
far agreed pom denouuce the Mckinley
bill; reafirm the democratic tariff reform
declarations, and declare in favor of the
coinage of gold and silver as legal tender
in sufficient amount to meet the wants of
the country. Cordial endorsement is given
the Springer bill providing an international
m onetary conference.
