Saturday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock

failed to show up and Deputy Sheriff
Shaver is on his trail.
Flint registered at the Davis House
Saturday morning. He sat around
awhile and inquired closely Of direc.
tiOns, roads, ETC., and stated that he
had some relatives living near Hume
well. He wanted to 20 down to see
them and inquired If there was BIZ

a wheel Of Fetters & Son at 10 o'clock
and brought 1t hack in half an hour.
Between l and 2 o'clock he hired the
wheel again and brought it back. At
4:3OO'clOcF he secured a wheel the third

intention Of not coming back. He
sent his grip to Mediord, OF, by ex-
press. The officers there have been
on the lookout for him.

Let each lodge beginning with the
lodges which meet this evening, ap-
point committee OF two to confer
with similar committees TO be ap-
pointed by the various other lodges
this week, at some designated place
Monday night. That committee will
consider the question OF holding a
celebration, and if they decide in the
affirmative, will organize by appoint
ing subcommittee for carrying on
the work necessary to a rousing cele-
bration.
1t is suggested that each secret So
ciety in the city bring the matter up
for consideration at their lodge meet
ings this week and appoint two men,
bers Of the general Fourth of July"
committee. This will be only the
TirSt step in that direction. The gen.
eral committee will at its meeting a
week from tonight formulate plans
for holding the largest celebration the
city has ever witnessed. 1t is pro-
posed, In the event that the celebra-
tiOn is TO be held, that each lodge in.
vite all the members of every other
lodge in the county to come TO We'll
lingtOn on that day. The celebration
is in no way to be recognized as under
the auspices of any particular lodge
or order, but will be a celebration by
ALL the secret societies Of the city.
Such celebration will be bound
to bring a large crowd to Wei
lingtOn on the Fourth. Sumner
county people are great lodge people
and there isn't any doubt that the
scheme will be heartily Supported by
every lodge in the county. 1t is a
great idea. Every year Wellington
people spend several hundred dollars
away from home celebrating the
Fourth. This plan would keep all
that money here at home and bring
in several thousand dollars additional.
We hope to be able to report tomorrow
that the lodges which meet tonight
have taken the initiative 10 the mat
ter of appointing members Of the
Fourth Of July committee. Daily

The bride is oce of Sumner county's
brightest and most accomplished
young ladies; her christian character
and lovely disposition has endeared
her to the hearts of many friends;
none knew her but to love her and
will sadly mourn the loss from their
society Of one so dear but our loss Is
anOther'S gain.
And our young brother who takes
her away to his new home in Oklahoma
may justly feel proud of having won
so fair prize. and as they drift down
the stream of time may naught occur
to cast cloud upon their future life.
They left for his fathers the following
day where quite a reception was
prepared for them.

Deserted Her Baby.

A blue-eyed, chubby faced boy ap-
parently eight months old was found
10 an clubhouse at Dick Davis resi-
dence on South Washington avenue
Monday morning about O'Clock. 1t
was found y ing on the floor, with the
lower part Of its body wrapped in an
old black shawl. A piece of biscuit
had been left with it by the mother.
The child was left there at 10 o'clock
Sunday night.
Miss Ida Watkins of Alya, OF,
was arrested at the Rock Island depot
that morning shortly before s o'clock
charged with deSerting tue child.
A woman with a child came in
from the west Sunday afternoon at
5:15 o'clock. She went down into the
southern part Of the city and wan
dered aimlessly around for awhile.
She went into the euthOuse of the
Fifth ward school and locked herself
and child in. Little Edith Purdy
and Emma BarndOllar were playing
near by and heard agOnizing cries
coming from a child within the out
house. They went to the clubhouse
and struggled to get in. The woman
warned them to 20 away bu5 they
persisted in gaining entrance and the
woman finally came out. She was
treating the child so cruelty that they
followed her. The woman went
south through a wheat field and along
the banks OF the creek. The children
followed behind at a safe distance, de-
termined upon seeing what disposition
was made of the child. The mother
walked along the creek, carrying the
child at times by its heels, until the
Hunnewell railroad bridge was
recalled, when she changed her course
and came back to the city. She had
apparently decided not 10 abandon
or harm the baby and the children
quit following her.
About 10 o'clock Sunday night the
woman went to Mr.. Davis residence
and started to leave the child on the
south porch, but she was frightened
away by bull dog that was chained
at the door, and she took the baby to
the clubhouse and left it. 1t lay on the
floor all night, with the door wide open.
When found next morning the child's
face was blue with cold and its lips
were trembling. 1t was taken into
the house and warmed and fed. Mrs.
Davis then started up town to find
the marshal, when she met a strange
wOmaL coming towards the union
depot, Intuition told Mrs. Davis
that this Woman was tie mother of
the child and she aCcosted her and &C.
cused her OF lis maternity. The
woman denied any knowledge of the
child, but Mrs. Davis felt that she was
its mother and notified Marshal Grin.
stead. The woman was found at the
Rock Island depot. She gave her
name as Ida Watkins and said that
she lived at Alva, o. T. She was
waiting for the MedfOrd passenger.
She answered the description furnish
ed the officers by the Purdy and Barn
dollar children. She is a tall woman,
about % years of age and fairly good
looking.
Mrs. Davis expressed her desire
that morning to keep and raise the
child, and she will probably be allowed
to adopt it.

pz7Uc, ne salu, because or the falling
of of the demand for it as money. Ja-
pan has gone on gold basis and so less
ened the demand for silver. Besides
this, there has been, because of uni
versal hard times. great falling off in
purchases in the east. The oriental
countries use silver money, and our
purchases are paid for in that metal.
This demand has been cut off by reason
of the hard times"
Would not the increase in gold pro-
duction in Canada and Alaska natural
ly tend to raise the price Of silver?"
Il think not. Even if it did the adj
vance would be inappreciable, while the
decrease due to the two causes / have
mentioned would more than counter
balance any slight possible advance and
continue to force silver lower and low
er. However. there will be no general
advance III prices. In l849, when the
mines of California and Australia
trebled the worlds supply of gold, the
advance in general prices was only 10
per cent in 10 years. That advance,
small and gradual as it was, was uni
versal benefaction. The only thing that
can advance the price Of q money metal
is the demand for the metal for its use
as money. II gold were not used as
money, the present stock would be
sufficient for all the uses in the arts and
in commerce for 80 years.
lyon will infer" said Mr.. Jones.
THAT am not opposed to prosperity
through any increase in gold. The Re-
publicans are very lucky, and con-
gratulate them OH the fact that this
great discovery falls within their ad
ministration. believe great deal Of
gold will be found in Alaska, and it is
certain to restore prosperity, for which
the Republicans will claim and receive
the credit ] shall welcome its return,
whether through gold or silver. An
abundance of money means prosperity,
and want to see good times in this
country come as result of good times
elsewhere.
Another result that will flow from
an abundance of money, be it silver or
gold. will be the allegiance Of this hatred
Of the trusts. cherish no enmity to-
ward the combinations of capital II
two or three men want to combine for
the purpose of bettering their business
by lessening production, they have a
right to do SO. But the people hate
trusts. and only prosperity will drive
monopolies out of their minds.

posed TO an honest dollar. believe i'm
an honest dollar as strongly as any

lnr can be honest, and that is dollar
which demands 10 more and no less
sacrifice to secure it at the maturity of
debt than il demanded when the debt
was contracted. want as good money

Senator Jones said that the miners in
Nevada are abandoning their silver
mines and are prospecting for gold.
Many of them, he said, are meeting
with success, and il is probable that a
good quantity Of gold will soon be pro.
1uced in that state.

but Times VIII He Better.
Senator Stewart of Nevada is one of
the latest converts to commercial op-
timism. He is "bull" on everything
except silver. He is engaged in vigor-
ous campaign in Wall street and said
to the reporter of New York paper
the other day that he had heard so much
about better times that he has deter
mined to 'gather in part of the pros
perity which is not only rampant in the
street. but throughout the land"
When asked what had brought about
q change in his views. he said:
"There is no room for pessimism in
this country. No one can be bear in
the face of the wheat famine in Argen-
tina. Russia, Hungary and India. In
view of this condition abroad, should
not be surprised to see silver sell as low
as 25 cents and wheat as high as 81.
There is nothing in talking silver at the
present time, and my advice. to my
friends in the west Is to fall into line
with the forces of prosperity and prog
ress and receive their due share Of the
reward.
1.-THE time has passed for the old is
sues. We must turn to face new issues
and new conditions.
II frequently hear it said that this
security market is a duplicate Of the
market in 1879. It is not. It is more Of
bull market. All man has to do il
to get into it-go to sleep and get rich.
The wheat situation in the west will

that have been moribund for years are
now taxed to their fullest capacity and
are still unable to accommodate the

danger of car famine OH many of the
most important lines traversing this
country"
"Are the people in the west alive to
this new situationy"
"The people in the west, he replied,
"arc wide awake They know good
thing when they zee it. Most of them
are hanging ON to their cereals with q
confidence torn Of hope aud an actual
