take care of him and give him employment

MOTHERS MIND WRECKED
After Spending a Fortune in Search of
Her LOng-LOst Son.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Florence H.
Frost. known to the police of all the large
cities account of her efforts to find her
long-lost son, was yesterday committed to
the workhouse at Cleveland, o. 1t is said
she is a wreck physically and mentally in
duced by her unsuccessful endeavor to To-
cate the boy, in search of whom she has
spent many thousands of dollars. Mrs.
Frost is the divorced wife of Raymond
Frost, at one time a wealthy manufacturer
at Bayonne, N. j. They separated about
five years ago. and, not wishing to air her
domestic troubles in court, Mrs. Frost gave
her husband the custody of their son. If
the boy is now alive he is about fifteen
years old.
Mrs. Frosts family was one of the most
prominent in Delaware. Her father was
William Sinclair McCauley, for whom the
boy was named. Mr.. McCauley was at one
time adjutant general of the State. Her
d. Mcclellan. Having ample means of her
own at that time Mrs. Frost went to
Europe after the separation from her hus
band. She Travelled extensively and tried
to forget the past, but the love for her
boy brought her back to America in the
summer of 1895. She then learned for the
first time that Mr. Frost had secured a di-
vorce in Chicago and had given the boy to
a relative living in this city. She came to
Chicago and learned through the aid of the
police that the man who had the custody of
the boy had gone to Canada
Mrs. Frost advertised for the boy in all
the leading newspapers of the country, Of
fering a large reward of money for infor-
nation regarding him. She had reason to
think the boy was in Chicago, notwith
standing the story of his being taken to
Canada, and she remained her from jan
uery until September, 1886. She hunted the
city high and low, and employed detectives
to aid her in the search. She went to the
parks, the baseball grounds, took lake ex-
etrsionsIin fact wherever she thought her
but in vain. During her stay here she was
a guest at the Auditorium. 1t was noticed
unbalanced. She was heard of later in st.
Louis, where she was arrested for some
disorderly act, the result of a deranged
mind.

EmpOrin, Kan, Seriously Threatened
with a. Water Famine.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. Sowing to the
extremely dry weather this fall water was
never so scarce in the history of Lyon
county as it is to-day. Emporia is at the
junction of the Neosho and the Cottonwood
rivers, and for weeks not drop of water
has been flowing in either. In many places
the beds of both rivers are as dry as a sand
desert. So meager is the supply above the
dam in the Neosho, from which the city
receives its supply, that the Common Coun-
ell has taken the most stringent methods
to curtail the use of water from the hy-
drants and has stopped the supply to all
users of water motors. Mayor Adds is
digging big we'll above the water works
from which he hopes to obtain supply
