Sensational Browns N.'lcy Kidnapping
Case Kt V;Eed.


WICHITA. Kan, July 80. This city
was thrown into excitement when it
was discovered that Mabel Worth, a
young lady living here, was non other
than Ollie German, who was kidnapped
10 years ago, supposedly by gypsies,
from her parents at Browns Valley,
Traverse county, Minnesota. Her dis
appearance has been a mystery in that
section of the state, and it has been
woven into scores Of romantic stories.
About two weeks ago a lady from
Browns Valley, while visiting here,
met Mabel Worth, and her resem-
blance to the missing child's mother
was so striking that she began an in
vestigation. Mrs. Worth became
alarmed and, with Mabel, left the city
and has not been seen since. The po-
lice are looking into the matter.

Discoveries of America.

-Four hundred and three years ago this
week, Columbus sailed from Palos,
Spain, on what he supposed was a voy-
age to the East Indies. Two months
later he unexpectedly stumbled upon a
new world. Even then, however, he
supposed he had reached India, and the
name of Indians was bestowed upon the
original inhabitants. In August, 1858,
the first Atlantic cable was landed on
the coast of Newfoundland, and by pIac.
ing the Old and New Worlds IN instan-
taneous touch with each other, America
was virtually r~e-discovered.
The discovery of Columbus and his
successors vas really Of only q small
strip of country along the s~ea-coast, and
the greater American-the mid CONT
nent-was discovered, improved, and de.
veloped by the building of railroads.
One has only to ask himself what would
be the condition of the great Central
and Western States if their only means
OF transportation were the stage-coach
and steamboat, to comprehend what the
great railroads are. Fifteen millions Of
people live in the eleven states pene-
trated by the lines Of the Burlington
Route. To visit any of their prominent
cities and towns, buy your ticket from

The Evolution in the Means OF Transport
tation.
The great popularity of the G. M. &
st. P. Ry. with the travelling public was
never more conclusively demonstrated
than during the period of the Worlds
Fair. The unprecedented passenger
business handled by this road at that
time between the Northwest and Chi
cago is without parallel in the history Of
railroading in the Western States.
There has been an evolution in the
means Of transportation for man that is
very interesting. The more civilized a
people becomes the more exacting it
grows. The coaches now running be-
tween che Twin Cities and Chicago on
''The Milwaukee, are marvels Of elegance
and convenience. The private compart-
ment cars, library buffet smoking cars
and free reclining chair cars are models
of luxurious comfort, which in style and
furnishings are palatial enough for roy
atty itself. A great comfort for the trav-
eler on it's sleepers and private compart
ment cars is the electric berth reading
amp, which is an exclusive feature with
The Milwaukee," The heating is all
done by steam, thus doing away with
the ~old-fashioned stove. By all these
means this line has been enabled to re-
duce the fatigue incident to travel to a
minimum, and consequently is always
popular.
NoTE.-Five handsome trains each
day from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Milwaukee and Chicago. Private COM
partment cars; library buffet smoking
cars; palace sleeping cars; free reclining

The Bank of England.

A little moro than two hundred years
ago a number of moneyed persons "a
Syndicate" We would call them now ad-
vanced to the English government-then
in a tight box for money on account of
foreign wars-the sum of $4,000, 900, at a
stipulated rate of interest. AS a further
reward for the loan, they were, on July
q, 1894, formed into a corporation, and
permitted to issue notes to the extent of
their loans to the government, such loans
being considered the amount of. the
banks capital. Under this arrangement
this capital has grown as follows: In
1708 it was $500, 900, in 1888 it was
$780, 1000; in 1916. s58, 744,OO0; in 1866,
$60,000,000. In l745, owing to the at
tempt Of Charles Edward upon Scot
land, there was a run upon the bank.
and, to gain time, payments we're made
in shillings and sixpences. In 1897
there was a general panic; the
bank had only 100000 in cash,
and notes poured in for redemption from
every quarter; 300 out of $50 English
banks failed. In this crisis the govern
ment ordered suspension of specie pay

discount universal bankruptcy was
averted. Bank of England stock Is con-

A QUEER OLD ENeuIsHMAN.
Thomas Laugher and His Curious Experi-
enceH, Physical and Otherwise.

Thomas Laugher and His Curious Experi-
ences. Physical and Otherwise
Thomas Laugher. who Is said to have
died at the age Of lI2. has an amusing
record that connects him with HolbOrn.
He was well educated man, for he bad
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for ~
years. In early life he had been wine
merchant in Tower street and failed,
owing to the failure of Il very large
house i'll the same trade, Neele, FOrdyce
e. Co. Ii so affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole OF his body.
Though a wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
so years If his life. The old mans
memory was prodigious. He well re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house of peers, seated on
pilliOn behind the Lord Chancellor, and
he talked about the death of William
III. He had been "a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At so
he had q severe fit of illness, and then
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place in the fingers Of each
hand at this instant remained always
after Nothing is said about new teeth
coming in his case. and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him Ga so
abruptly.
He had son, who died at the age of
so, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes ON the
part of strangers who saw them togeth-
er. Once, when they were walking in
Holborn, the son could scarcely keep
pace with the father-in fact, with so
great difficulty and distress did he do SO
that he attracted the attention Of gen
/ tleman, who went mp to old Laugher to

I his mistake, but the stranger refused TO

til somebody passing at the time, who
/ knew the Laughers well, certified 10 the
