A Young Woman Enticed From Her
Home to Life of Shame.
SAN Francisco, April .-Hypnotism
was in the influence that led pretty Net
tie Dowd, a 15-year old lass to leave
the comfortable old farm house down by
the sea near Monterey, and follow bad
and notorious Annie jackson to this city.
where she was put in lodging house by
her abductOr.
The story of Miss Dowd's flight to this
city is an Interesting one.
"Aly father is a wealthy rancher, liv-
ing a few miles from Monterey, on the
jacksonville road. One day last summer,
while visiting Monterey, met Annie
Jackson. She was at that time working
as a servant in family. She asked me
to come to San Francisco, saying that
would get along we'll there. l said
loved my home and would not leave it.
She laughed at me and said | would
change my mind some time"
About six weeks ago, according to Miss
Dowd she met Annie jackson in Monte
rev and found her preparing to leave fol-
this city. Without knowing just how il
happened she found herself in the
woman's company and few hours later
arrived in the city.
The girls parents notified the police Of
the affair and an officer was put on the
case. After considerable difficulty he
located her in lodging house. She wal
promptly arrested and after a hearing
was committed to the rescue home
pending the arrival of her parents.

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.


Furnished by the Topeka Grain and stock
Exchange. Room .. Columbian Building.
Wheat opened up Wild again today
with an advance of &c over night, and
steadily advanced until the May option
toucl ed 60c. 1t looks like they are sure
of Pardridge's scalp now and we look for
a wild market next week and 75c May
wheat before the end of the week.
We have been advising purchasers of
wheat every day and we suppose some
confirmed bears and croakers made sport
of it, but we want to call their attention
to the undisputed fact that May wheat is
cents higher than it was when we COM
menced advising our trade to buy it.
We said that wheat at these prices was
better investment than government
bonds. We are on the commencement of
big boom in everything, and good
times are returning again This is espe-
cially noticeable in the Wall street
markets. Stocks have been steadily
advancing for the past month and look
like going much higher. Wall street is
a shrewd crowd, and Can see prosperity
! far in advance of US Kansas farmers and
are prepared for it by forcing the mar
kets up where they belong-just far
enough ahead TO be sin it" when the
time comes.
We don't see how any one can lose
money buying anything that Chicago or
| New York has for sale in the markets
at these prices
Corn and oats caught the boom from
wheat today and scored good advance.
There is still big short interest in corn
and we look for a big advance when
short covering commences
Provisions were quiet but firm, with an
upward tendency. We look for razzle
dazzle in pork next week and think it
will follow wheat and corn.

WILL BRING 14MILLIONs.
This is the Latest Estimate of Returns of
the Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, April Commissioner
Miller of the internal revenue bureau has
sent letter to Secretary Carlisle, in
which he estimates the returns from the
income tax. He says:
Telegraph advices received from the
collectors of several internal revenue
districts indicate that the aggregate
amount of income tax shown by the re-
turns which were fled before the 10th
inst, will be about $14. 365O0O
"The total expenditure on account of
the work including necessary salaries
and allowances to the end of the present
fiscal year will not exceed $135.000"
The best judgment of the treasury Of
ficials is that but for the adverse decis-
ion of the supreme court, the amount
carried by the returns would have been
about $3OOJOOOO.
