The daughter of Gilbert Mattson. a
farmer living three miles south OF Hec-
tor, has been heard from, says the
Buffalo MinnD News. Seventeen years
ago this summer the 4-year old girl was
sent out to carry a lunch to her broth
err, who was herding cattle not far from
the house. This was the last seen of
the little one until a letter from New
York came recently to the home OF the
Mattsons from the daughter, now a
young lady 81 years old.
After her sudden and mysterious dis
appearance the country was searched
for miles around; all the sl0ughs were
dragged and every effort made to re-
cover the child who was lost. Finally
the search was given up and the little
girl was mourned as dead; and when
what were supposed to be the bones
of Il small child and some pieces of
clothing were found in large slough
near the Mattson farm it was thought
certain that the little one was dead.
and all hopes died.
The letter which came to reawaken
hopes in the hearts OF the parents stat
ed that, on his deathbed a man whom
the girl had been brought up to believe
was her father had confessed that,
seventeen years ago, he had stolen her
from her prairie home. He told her
the names of her parents. where they
lived and fully described to her the par
ticulars of her abduction A letter writ
ten to verify the deathbed confession
stated that the young lady wo.ld re-
turn at once to her home, from which
she had been so long separated.
The story seems too strange to be-
Iieye, but it Is nevertheless true, and
when the young lady comes there will
be rejoicing in that home

Ferdinand Lassalle. the Jewish philoso-

a more or less important figure in dip

secretary. At the outbreak of the
Franco-German war the great chancel-
