Lost Child.

Abner, the five-year old son of A.
C. Campbell, the tailor, wandered
away from the house, No. 319 West
Sixth street, yesterday afternoon and
was not found until ObOut / l o'clock
last night.
The child had evidently come up in
town and played around until dark
ness came on. He doesn't remember
where he was after that, and probably
fell asleep in some corner. The chill
dren of J. l.. Thornton, of the Gazette,
found him on East Fifth street about
$50 o'clock and took him to their
home, No. 81, where he was found
about half an hour later by the police,
who restored him to the anxious pa
rents.
The child was first missed about 6
o'clock and the police were at once
notified. The loss was also mentioned
in several of the churches. He seems
none the worse for bis escapealand the
parents were overjoyed to find him
safe and in good hands.

friends and neighbors, in which he said,
''NEIGHBoRs GIVE YOUR BOYS \ CHANCE
These words come with as much force
to-day as they did thirty years ago.
How give them this chance?

II fruit farming region is wanted there
is the whole state of Washington to select
from.
As for scenic delights the Northern Pa
cific Railroad passes through a country
unparalleled. In crossing the Rocky, Bit
ter Root, and Cascade Mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery To he seen in the
United States from car windows is found.
The wonderful bad lands, wonderful in
graceful form and glowing color, are a
poem. Lakes Pend d'Oreille and Occur

Fork Of the Columbia River is a daylight
dream. To cap the climax this is the only
way TO reach the lar famed Yellowstone

ice Of unsurpassed excellence. The most

j. d. Frazee, living near Spring
field, is suffering from lockjaw and
will probably die. He was thrown
from a wagon in a runaway in that
city March IS, and his thumb was
broken, bu: he paid little attention to
it. He was taken with the lockjaw
Saturday and the physicians amputa-
ted his thumb Sunday night, but it is
very doubtful whether the operation
will save him or not.

and women OF the church. He ad-
mitted to having served term in an
eastern penitentiary for burglary.
Rev. b. f. Boiler, then pastor of the
church was quite interested in the fel-
low and finally took him to his house,
where he busted himself about the
house, attending to the ministers
horse and running errands. He
seemed To take such an interest in re-
ligious matters that Rev. Boiler finally
made arrangements and sent him to
Park college, ut Parkville, near st.
Joseph. lie wound up there by steal
ing a sui, of clothes from his room
S,ate and was arrested in ST. Joseph.
Rev. Boiler went to his assistance
there. but could not effect his release.
lie served his time in Jail and was
next heard from in Minneapolis,
where he claimed he was married
while under the influence of liquor.
He went to Burlington, Iowa, next
and there tried to reform again.
Mr.. f. A. Barrett, secretary
of the Y. Nj. G. A. at
that point, befriended him and
he STAYED there year. The secretary
tried TO secure him divorce from the
Minneapolis woman, who had followed
him, but failed. Alexander started
for Sedalia, March Is, and while
asleep in the depot at Hannibal claims
to have been robbed of S., all he had.
He had written to Rev. Boiler, ex-
pecting 10 find him here and started
Immediately. A reply was received
by Secretary Barrett, in Burlington,
informing him that Mr.. Boiler was
now at Davenport. Secretary Barrett
wrote to the secretary here asking
him to look after Alexander and that
he would pay all necessary expenses
until he could find work. Several
sums of money have been received
from the kind-hearted Iowa secretary.
1t is, indeed, sad that the young
man should have been led astray
again. The temptation seems to have
been more than he could bear, and
hence the result. He often men,
toned that drunkenness and theft
seemed to have been born in him.
