His Friends.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-The candi-
dacy of Ex-senator Charles f. Mander-
SON Of Nebraska for the Republican
presidential nomination has been an
nounced by several Of his friends. Gem
eral Manderson in conversation later,
said that he had heretofore declined to
break his silence upon the matter. "For
months past" said the senator, II have
received letters from all sections of the
country, urging me to enter the lists as
q candidate. These letters came from
comrades in the War of the Rebellion,
from associates in public life, and in
addition received many personal re-
quests from fellow citizens in Ne

Washington the urgency was Of such
emphatic character that decided to

that under this urgency and the kindly
encouragement that has followed can
do nothing but stand and wait"

less body was found in her room at her
married sisters home here last week.
It il supposed the girl had been dead
three or four days when found, as de-
composition had set in. The corpse
was Uncovered Saturday and the girl
he'd not been in attendance in school
since Wednesday forenoon. nor had
anyone seen her on the streets. At IL

sister with whom she was staying had
gone to the country on visit. That is
the last time she was seen alive by her
teacher or school mates. Neighbors
saw her enter the house and the first
chapter Of this mysterious tragedy
ends.
Saturday Art Gruff, brother.in.law
Of the deceased, went to the house to
discover what trace he could find of the
missing girl, and was the first to view
the ghastly spectacle On the wall
hung bird cage which contained a
dead canary. The fact that the bird
was dead leads to the theory that chlo-
roform had been administered, as there
was an ample supply of food in the
cagesfor the birds sustenance. It was

and !. Morello have been arrested,
char&ed with having criminal knowl-
edge bf the girls death. It developed
ct the coroner's inquest that, while
there was no outward indication of
violence, yet there was proof Of the girl
having been outraged. It was also
asserted by witnesses that Bull and
Morello were seen to enter the house
on Wednesday, the day that Miss

A Starved Mind.

It is a fact that the children who have
had in abundance the old nursery tales,
who have worn out numerous copies Of
Mother Goose" to whom Christmas
and birthdays mean new books Of rhyme
and story, being led thence by gradual
steps to the uplands Of history, poetry
and romance, seldom go down before the
malignanoy Of the "blood and thunder"
so freely offered them. 1t is the starved
childhood that seizes and feeds upon
these.
A girl Of l2 years old had occasion to
call at the home Of lady who had be-
friended her. Scattered about the floor
OF the sitting. room were the books Of q
small nephew, among them copy Of
"Little Red Riding Hood" Her life,
barren and hard, had known nothing Of
literature save her few school books.
She picked up the volume and was soon
absorbed in the story. When the lady
came in, she extended it to her, saying
eagerly, ais it trueY"
It was her first step in the realm Of
enchantment, but it came too late. She
had experienced the real; it was.hard,
bitter. The same girl few years later
awaited her turn at the library, and
begged the attendant to choose for her.
The lady hesitsted, then extending a
volume by Dickens, said, "Will you have
this?"
She shook her head, saying, al tried to
read one Of his, once. He writes Of rags
and poverty and hard times. Give me
something livslier, please. "-Elizabeth
