PRIESTS LIFE In PERIL.
Charged with AbductinE One of Two
Mysteriously Missing Girls.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-. Sept. 27.--All st. Jo-
seph is mystified by the sudden disappear
ance of two young girls, without shadow
of reason that can be found unless they
have been abducted, and that is the gen.
eral theory. The latest disappearance Of
which the police have learned is that of
Dora Kennedy, fourteen years old. daugh-
ter of a workman In the railroad shops.
She has been absent from home since
Wednesday morning, but the authorities
were not informed until to-day. AS in the
case of Maud Steidel. who disappeared last
Sunday, the missing girl has dropped out
of sight as mysteriousy as If swallowed by
the earth. The friends of the families of
the girls and their nearer relatives hold
that only infatuation for the priest now
charged with having induced Maud Steidel
to leaye her home, could have been the
cause of her disappearance, and that either
a similar feeling, a resort to some deception
or force. could have been responsible for
the going of Dora Kennedy. The public is
at white heat with indignation. DOM
mick Wagner the priest accused of abduct-
ing the girl, has asked the police to protect
him from the mob that has threatened to
lynch him. He still protests that he knows
nothing of the girls whereabouts.

NOT LIKE HER HUBBY
MRS. CULBERsON THINKS THE Gov

She Doesn't See why the People Of
Texas Can't Have the Corbett-
FftxsimmOns Fight.

Texas, and, with her mother, Mrs Harris,
has been spending the summer in the
North. What is the use in poor Charles
working himself to death to prevent some
thing the whole State wants. continued
Mrs. Culberson. "At least nine men out
of every ten in Texas want the prize fight.
and. after all, he was elected to carry out
the will of the people, and the people want
the fight. don't care what they say they
want or pretend to say. they would. every
one of them, go to it. Then, think of the
money it is going TO cost to convene the
Legislature. 1 don't see, anyway, why one
man should have the power to decide what
the rest should do. One mans Judgment is
no better than another. / don't see why
one judges opinion is better than those of
Think of his conscience and his resoon-
sibility in the matter" said Mrs. Harris.
"A man must do what IS right when he
holds in trust an Office OF the people,
That's just it," said Mrs Culberson. "He
does hold it for the people, and the people
want the fight, and i say let them have it.
There is no use in staying up nights ana
worrying himself to death trying to keep
up public dignity And Mrs. Culberson
looked as If she meant what she said, and
was far more concerned about the hard
work and worry her husband had been
Obliged to undergo In order to keep his
threat and convene the Legislature than
about any pugilistic attempt TO sul.y Texas $
fame. II have met number of prominent
business men from Texas this summer" :"
Mrs. Culberson went on, and every one of
them believe In allowing the fight TO go on,
and here the Governor is trying to stop
something the popular sentiment is in favor
of having. It's all foolishness, and I've
told him / said: You are elected TO
carry out the will of the people, and lou
are not doing it at all when you oppose
what they want
