HE WAS GONE SIX YEARS.
Fritz Staudt Believed to Have Been Dead.
Turns Up Alive.

Turns Up Alive.
Fritz Staudt, a 16.year.old lad,
living at 407 Austin street, sur.
nrised his folks last Saturday by
turning up after an absence Of SIX
years, Tbs boy was given up as
dead.
1t was reported that he had been
thrown into a well in the rear of
his home, but the veracity Of this
report had always been doubted,
as 1t was believed to have been cir
culsted maliciously. An old col
ored woman OF the neighborhood,
however, did not distrust the re-
port, and would under no circum.
stances drink the water from that
well until this day. Now that the
boy is home again, and very much
alive, the colored woman remarked /:
"In do future Tll b'lieve nothin'
till sees it. Here Ise been missin'
all dat nice cold water desc many
years."
Young Staudt's absence came
about in this manner: He was
the youngest son of George Standt,
who died about four years ago, who
was formerly special policeman
and also a member OF the volun-
teer fire department.. The boy left
home one afternoon in August,
1890, as boys will do, aud forgot
about home till late in the even
ing. Mr.. Staudt was strict with
his boys and the little fellow fear
ing a whipping did not return
home at all. The following day
he met Mexican who came from
Elmendorf with a load OF water
melons, and got on the wagon to
help the man sell them. He went
to Elmendorf with the man and
worked for him for several weeks.
Later he worked for Bob Gibbs at
Fairview, and recently for Ed. Fer.
guson at Kicsstar, Wilson county.
He did not learn of his fathers
death till last Friday, when Fergu.
son, who had just heard OF it, told
him.
The boy said he received good
treatment wherever he has been
and had a fine time. He says he
Is glad to get back home and is
now looking for job.

absence OF better argument, resort to
abusive epithets, but they may rest as
sured that no language, however violent.
nor invectives, however vehement, will
lead us to depart n single hairs breadth
from the course marked out by the ma
tional convention. The citizens, either
public or private, who assail the charac-
ter and question the patriotism of the
delegates assembled in the Chicago CON
vention, assaii the character and ques-
ton the patriotism of the millions who
have arrayed themselves under the banner
there raised.
1t has been charged by men standing
high in business and political circles that
our platform is Il menace to private Sc
curity and public safety; and it has been
asserted that those whom l have the
honor, for the time being, to represent
not only mediate an attack upon the
rights of property, but are the foes of
social order and national honor. Those
who stand upon the Chicago platform are
prepared to make known and defend every
motive which influences them, every pur-
pose which animates them, and every
hope which inspires them. They under
stand the genius of our institutions, they
are staunch supporters of the form of
government under which we live and they
build their faith upon foundations laid
by the. fathers. Andrew jackson has
stated with admirable clearness and with
an emphasis which cannot be surpassed
both the duty and spirit of government
He said: 'Distinctions in society will
always exist under every just govern
ment Equality of talents, of education
or of wealth cannot be produced by hui
man institutions. In the full enjoy
ments of the gifts of heaven and fruits of
superior industry, economy and virtue,
every man is equally entitled to protec-
ton by law"
We yield to none in our devotion to the
doctrine just enunciated. We cannot
insure to the vicious the fruits OF viz
tuous life; we would not invade the
home of the provident in order to supply
the wants of the spendthrifts; we do not
propose to transfer the rewards of indus
try to the lap of incidence. Poverty is
and will remain the stimulus of endeavor
and the compensation for toll. We be-
lieve, as asserted in the declaration of in
dependence, that all men are created
equal: but that does not mean that all
men are or can be equal in possessions,
in ability or in merit; it simply means
