about it, if anyone gives him an opening.
The only time anyone fooled the old gen.
tleman was some years ago, when a stroll
ing peddler walked into his Office and in
duced him to buy what appeared to be q
very fine waistcoat, for 60 cents. 1t was
thick and heavy, and the peddler said
that the man who wore it would not
need an overcoat. Subsequent examina-
tion showed that the garment was made
mostly out of heavy brown paper. This
was the origin of the rumor that Mr. Sage
wore newspaper vests.

RELIGIOUS WOMAN MISSING.
Boston's Latest Christian Eudeavor
Sensation.


Boston, July 30.-A most mys-
FERROUS affair, connected with the
recent Christian Endeavor conven-
ton here, has just come to light.
Mrs. E. T. Gardiner, OF Arcadia,
Neb., who came here as a delegate
to the convention has not yet re-
turned to her home and husband
and children, and the report of
her death here is not supported by
record or any known facts. Mrs.
Gardiner was 35 years old. She
had always been apparently
healthy, and when her husband re-
ceived from her letter, July ID,
stating that she was about to
die, he was astonished. Fol-
lowing that letter came an
other signed j. B. Brown,
Boston, whom neither Gardiner
nor any one else knows, stating
that the woman was dead and that
in the interest OF economy her body
would be buried here. The death
registers bear no record Of any
such death and detectives employed
by Gardiner have failed to find a
trace OF Mrs. Gardiner, dead or
alive. 1t is feared by some OF those
interested in the case that Mrs.
Gardiner has been spirited away by
thieves who were attracted by
large sum of money and valuable
jewelry she carried. Some believe
she died and her body was secured
for dissection purposes. When Mrs.
Gardiner was In Boston she did not
stay with the Nebraska delegates
at regular headquarters, but with
friends who cannot now be found.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, July 3d.
Reports have reached here from
Crawford county that the residence
Of John Kemp, wealthy farmer,
was robbed and then burned to the
ground, the family narrowly escap-
ing cremation. Friday night the
residence of County Commissioners
Harvey was plundered. Blood
hounds were sent from Seymour
and turned and Immediately took
the trail. A mob Of neighbors fol-
lowed the hounds for several miles.
Members Of the party who have re-
turned said that the robbers had
been captured several miles out in
the country but refused to give
their names and also refused to
tell what had been done with them.
On account of the failure of the
officers to return after the men
were captured lynching is
thought to have taken place. Sew
eral other residences have been
robbed and the excitement is in
tense.
The Louisville, Evansville and
st. Louis ticket Office at Tazwell,
Ind, was also robbed of over $500
worth of tickets and large
amount Of money. 1t Is thought
that the robbery was done by
members Of the same gang that
plundered and burned the residence
Of Kemp. Ifcaught the rest Of the
gang will be lynched.

that as soon as Holmes had got the

he did of the PietZels. Detective
Geyer still holds to the belief that

For the first time, the present
publisher inverts a rule. Our old
pioneers are passing away very fast
and in a very few years there Will
not be one left to tell any of those
old "reminiscences which cluster
around the early history of our now
pleasant island homes. Such men
as Matthias /; III Rethlefsen have
made it possible that we can now
enjoy the fruits of mature civiliza-
ton in what was once a tracklcss
forest, and it is but fitting that we
should lay them away to rest with
a solicitiOus tenderness in bold con-
trast with the hardships oi their
early pioneer life.
