Katie Gendro, q Poltoh Girl
Hao Not Been oeen since
Thuroday. "
Went Out to Get q Mortgage
Recorded und Hao Not
Returned.

Miss Katie Gendro has disappeared
and her friends in this city are
anxious to know Of her " herpabOuts.
Very little has been made public
about her disappearance, and from
tile actions Of the police one would
think that 1t was something that
had to he kept very quiet. A re-
porter got onto it Monday,
no wever, and learning that she had
formerly stopped with the family Of
George Lang, who live on the fiat
southeast Of the Batters house,
called there and learned the folio wing
facts In the case:
Katie Gendro, ia Il Polish girl
eighteen years If aye whose parents
live in the town III Elm Dale. She
came to town about Il year ago and
worked at Hotel Buchanan, the Lit
tie Falls house ana for the family Of
J. G. Buurassa. For u week or 40
abe had not been working, hut was
staying Nth the family Of George
Lang, on the fat. She had u mort
gage againet her father, amounting
to about $50. She was advised to
have the mortgage recorded, and ON
Thursday let ween IL and IL O'Clock
she left the Lang residence for the
court house to have the instrument
recorded, since which time she has
not beeh seen.
The Lang family became alarmed
IA to her whereabouts and the fol-
lowing day made inquiries about
her and notified the police who also
commenced search for her. Nothing
was ascertained, however. She had
not visited the court house, nor had
she called ut any of the places where
she formerly worked. Her father
was in town Friday looking for her,
hut his search was III vain; she had
disappeared completely and left no
trace behind.
The Lang family state that beside
| the mortgage she had $2O IN casl'
with her. She wore apurple colOred
dress. no Over-shoes and wore on
her head fascinatOr. Her other
clothes were left in her trunk at
Lang's.
Sometime ago she talked Of going
to the convent at st. Joe, but AZ she
left all her effects behind they do not
think she went there.
The family seem to think That she
has met with foul play somewhere
as she was 4 sensible young lady
and would certainly have notified
them had she been going to st. Joe
Anyone knowing of her where
abouts or anything that would lead
to her being found should imme
diately communicate with the chief u
police or Geo. Lang.

The grand jury OF Benton county
has failed to indict August jain for
the killing of T. j. Stanley last

question whether or not to indict,
and they voted in the negative.
They have however returned a true
bill against jain for assault In the

same time that his father was killed,
young William Stanley. He fs out
on bonds for the first Offense and has
not yet been arranged. His trial VIII

IN II CONVENT.
That 10 Where it 10 Thought
Miuv katie Gendro 10.

1t is thought now by the friends,
of Miss Katie GendrO that she went
to st. Joe on Thursday AMI entered
the convent at that pluce, but why
she left in the manner she did-with
hardly any clothes-is what puzzles
them. Victoria Hines, a girl en-
ployed in the Hotel Buchanan
laundry says that SHE often talked
of entering the convent, but lid not
want the people here andin Elm Dale
to know anything about it. She
thinks, therefore, that Miss Jendro
will be found there.
AS yet, Mr.. Gendro, father of the
girl, or the Lang family, with whom
she was stopping. have heard moth
ing from her. She had told the
Langs that she intended to enter a
convent, and they think that she
would have told them had she left
for st. Joe on Thursday.
In this issue OF the Transcript will
be found an article on state exami-
nations by Mr.. J. L. Thatcher. super
intendent of the Little Falls high
school. The position OF Mr.. Thatch-
er and other good authorities is
clearly set forth. and after reading
1t there is no reason for misunder-
standing to arise between the super
intendent and the patrons OF the
schools. 1t is a plain statement OF
facts and will meet with tho ap-
prevail of all who are interested in
the progress of educational institu-
lions. Every parent and student
should read it carefully.

THE SYSTEM is WRONG.
Eckels Says the Treasury Should Not BE
a General Supply Market.

Eckels Says the Treasury Should Not BE
General Supply Market.
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Hon. James S.
Eckels, comptroller of the United States
treasury, has made the following state
ment on the request of representative
of the Associated Press: "Being thus
far away from New York, and not
knowing the exact conditions prevailing
there which are causing the shipments
of gold abroad, feel can say nothing
on that subject which will be of special
benefit to the public. Generally speak
ing these gold shipments come about
from the fact that the American people
are buying great deal abroad and not
selling sufficient Of their own product to
equalize things. thus necessitating a
settlement of the balance due in gold.
We maintain financial system which
makes the United States treasury q
general market Of supply for all requir-
ing gold. Consequently, more or less
embarrassment comes to the administra-
ton, of the treasury department when
these balances require to be settled.
However, the treasury has always man
aged to maintain unquestioned the pay
ment in gold Of its obligations, and al
ways will do SO. The system under
which it is forced to operate makes it
sometimes expensive to do so, but as
long as representatives in congress re-
fuse to change that system, and as long
as the voters tolerate them, the people
have no right to complain Of the ex-

OLD BOARD Is OUT
Supreme Court of Nebraska De-

Cases.
Their Finding Was in Favor OF
the New or A. P. A.
Commission.
Governor HOlcOmb's Refusal to
Sit With the Others No Bar
: ~ 7 to Legality. g. i

OMAHA, Sept. 1s.-A special TO The
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: a.
The supreme court has fled its decis-
ion in The Omaha fire and polioe com.
mission case with the clerk Of the court.
It is quite voluminous, comprising sew
eral thousand words, covering all points
raised by. the attorneys and quoting
many authorities. The decision in sub
stance finds for the, new board Of fire
and police commissioners and declares
the act constitutional. Upon the point
raised by attorneys for the old board
that Governor Holcomb did not attend
the meeting Of Churchill and Russell, at
the time the new board was named, the
court holds that the interests of state
or municipality are not to be jeopar-
died by the action Of one party.
In conclusion the court finds that
Broatch, Vandervort and Foster are the
lawfully constituted board Of fire and
police commissioners of Omaha.

NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.
Believed the Grand Jury Will Releas
Mrs. Perkins.

Believed the Grand Jury Will Release
Mrs. Perkins.
M1NNEAPoLIs, Sept. 1.-THE indica-
tons are that Mrs. Lora Perkins, who
stands accused of the murder Of Mrs.
Lola Hawkins, will not be held for trial.
So far as can be learned from observa-
ton and desultory conversation with GER
tain of the witnesses who have been
called into grand jury room, the i'm
preston prevails that the jury is Of the
opinion that not sufficient evidence to
convict could be adduced.
Realizing this, and not caring to put
the county to the expense of a lengthy
trial, it is probable Mrs. Perkins will be
discharged from custody in the very
near future.
