WHERE MADGE WALLACE
Her Father and Officers Can't Find
Her in Chicago.

J. D. Wallace has returned from Chi
cago after a fruitless search for his
daughter, Madge. Undersherif Lucas
has also returned, and while both are
confident that the girl will eventually be
found, they are by no means sure that
she is still in Chicago.
1t was the night of December Is that
Is year old Madge Wallace quietly stole
from her room and left for Chicago
with Harry Stops, who had just finish
ed a large contract for the Santa F'e
railroad company. Though Stops was
arrested he was released on a small
bond, and his whereabouts are I'M
known, though he is expected to appear
in court next Thursday.
sheriff Lucas prove that Stops is a
thorough Scoundrel. After enticing
Madge Wallace to Chicago under the
pretext that she was to work in his
family for So a week, he hired a room
for her on North State street, where she
went by the name of Miss Prayer.
One day she returned and announced
that she had been married and that her
name was Powers, the name StOopS as
sumed when he secured the room for
the girl.
She showed papers to show that she
was married to Powers" Undersheriff
Lucas says that he is satisfied that the
girl was inveigled into mock mar
riage to satisfy her conscience.
Stops sent the girl to a dressmaker's
and had new clothes made, and they
We're living in good style when inter
rupted by the officers who arrested
him.
Madge Wallace was still at her room
on State street when her father and
Deputy Lucas reached Chicago. When
it was found that a search was to be
made for the girl, she disappeared, say
ing that she was going to a hotel to
live. She left in such a hurry that she
left behind her the hat that she wore
when she left home. This was recov-
cred by the disconsolate father.
The hotel where the girl was sup
posed to have gone was searched, but
she was not found. and Mr.. Wallace
and the officer were compelled to give
up the search.
Madge Wallace told some one that
she and her husband intended to go to
Mexico, and that gives color to the
suspicion entertained by her fatherth that
she has left Chicago. The Chicago po-
and will be found before long.
lice believe, that she is still in that city
Harry Stops lives in a handsome
three story fiat and has a wife and two
children. He is well known in Chicago
and is considered wealthy His family
is well connected, and everything pos
sible is being done to adjust the affair
which has driven him into hiding.
The Chicago officers were at first in
clired to believe that there was no
foundation for the charges made by
Mr.. Wallace, but they are now convinc-
ed that Stops is guilty, and if he ever
returns to Chicago, he will be held and
returned to Topeka to stand trial for
abduction.
Stops Chicago attorney was in To-
peka and called upon Mrs. Wallace,
while her husband was in Chicago. He
begged that the case might be settled
and promised to have the girl returned
but Mrs. Wallace refused to listen to
him, and nothing has since been heard
from him.
Mr.. Wallace will return to Chicago as
soon as his daughter is found and will
bring her home.

The Christmas Fool.

The April fool has passed away,
And the Ounce block stands more in school,
But every year you may see astray
In shops and bazaars the Christmas fool.

I wish 1 knew what father wants
I wish I knew what mother wantA.

Norah, the maid, and William, the man.

The Christmas fool forgets the needs
That clamored all year in the mouths of kin
Forgets the crime of his former deeds
And sins his regular annual sin.
Displays and the daze
OF the Christmas craze
Constrain him like long felt ties,
And the very thing his wife doesn't want,
The thing his father doesn't want,
The thing his mother doesn't want,
Johnny,
Susy,
Grandfeth Their,
Grandmother,
Norah, the maid and william, the man,
Are the very things he buysi
On Christmas morning he sees too late
Anticipation becomes chagrin,
But they take their gifts and submit to fate
And lie to him sweetly-his house and kin.
Chastined by years
Or choked by tears,
They tell Kim they ought:
1t is just the thing his wife wants,
just the thing that father wants,
Just the thing that mother wants,
And Johnny,

MAKES A POOR SMOKE.
A Tobacco Grower Tells Ways and
Means Committee About
Sumatra.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The tobacco sched-
ule was the subject of the hearing be-
fore the ways and means committee to-
day Michael Tobin of Baldwinsville. N.
J., representing the New York State To-
bacco Growers association, said the to-
bacco growers were badly in need of re-
lief. They had expended vast sums in
warehouses, etc, and until the importa-
ton of Sumatra began, had been fairly
prosperous.
Tobacco farms were then worth $125 an
acre. Such farms were now generally
mortgaged and would not today liqui-
date their incum brances- He did not
think it fair that the Holland syndicate,
which employed coolie labor at u cents
a day, should be allowed to annihiliate
the great leaf tobacco industry in this
country. He denied that American leaf
was not suitable for wrappers. Sumatra,
he said, had not merit except its appear
ance.
He had no doubt, he said, that any inn
porter of Sumatra would rather have
Sumatra excluded than smoke a cigar
made wholly of Sumatra-
''Why?'' he was asked
Because if he smoked, he would lose
his breakfast
He said the growers cared nothing
about filters. They were interested prin-
cipally in wrappers.

Gov. Smith Tells of the Reforms He
Will Inaugurate

Helena, Mont, Jan. 4.-The inaugural
address of Governor Smith was devot-
ed almost wholly to state affairs. He

hostile to any interest or persons are
not contemplated by his administration.
He calls attention to the depressed
condition of business and says the ex-
penses of the state, county and city
governments must be reduced.
The following are some of the recon-
mendatiOnS made by the governor:
Taxation of gross receipts OF 1nSur-
ance companies less losses.
A tax on corporations so worded that
they cannot evade the Incorporation fee
ization.
A graduated inheritance tax.
Abolishing the bureau of agriculture
labor and industry, leaving the col
lection of statistics to county assessors
Reducing salaries in the land depart
ment of the state.
Abolishing the office of city treas
urer.
Repeating mileage laws.
Reducing the cost of the national
guard of the state in the matter of
encampments and armory rents.
Taking off the bounty on coyotes
That the land grant be bonded not
to exceed 100000 at present for build
ing the state capitol.
That convicts be set to work on irr1-
cation plants and canals to reclaim the
million acres of arid lands under the
Carey act.
The initiative and referendum and
mended as subjects for a constitutional

in connection with her elopement with

does not preserve the American girl from
the possibility of falling into error. 1

between nobility and wealth. Chicago
heiresses are reproached with the pursuit
of cOronetS. Surely this is better than
pursuing a dot Having recognized my
error, and my heart having spoken, two
courses were open to me, namely, adult
ress, hypocrisy or leaving the marital
domicile

ton will eventually be 1egalized, my mar
rage with Rigo being only a question of

A Kentucky Man Directs That His
Dead Body be Submerged in Whisky.
Cynthiana, KY, JAM 4.-Chas. Bran
lett, aged so years, died January g. He
owned several plantations in Harrison
county and had been a prosperous man
all his life. At a low estimate he was
worth 100000. He was peculiar in
nothing but his ideas of his own burial
He was a great reader and perhaps
drgw his notions of his own interment
from the histories of ancient Egypt
About Is years ago he hired a skillful
stone mason to make him a sarcopha-
gus of blue Kentucky limestone which
is much more durable than the hardest
marble. At the same time he bought
a barrel of the best old bourbon the
state could produce and ordered that at
his death the whisky should be poured
upon his body after it was placed in
the stone coffin. The sarcophagus was
then to be Theoretically sealed and
placed in a grave near his residence
All his directions have been followed
to the letter and he is to be buried
this afternoon. 1t will take a number
of strong horses to carry his body in its
heavy receptacle.
