COURTHOUSE JANlTOR MISSING
Intense Heat May Have Affected Mar
tin e. Persons Mind.

Martin e. Pierson, janitor at the court
house, has disappeared and his friends
ascribe his disappearance to mental aber-
ration, superinduced by the long-continued
spell of intensely hot weather during the
first week in July. He is a man sixty-four
years old, and a pensoner. He had raised
a family, and had always been peculiarly
happy in his domestic relations, always
kind and considerate of his wife and chill
dren. He did not owe cent when he went
away in fact he followed his usual custom
of drawing his pension money and cleaning
up all debts that his salary from the coun-
~ had not covered and gave the rest Of his
money to his wife, as ne was in the habit
of doing. This was on Thursday, and that
evening he started down town, and has
not since been heard from. His son, Albert
II. Pierson, who is member of the fire
department has secured the country with
telegrams and the police have searched
the city in vain The disappearance has
been as complete as though the earth had
opened and swallowed him.
As he owed nothing and was happy at
home he could have no cause for going
away voluntarily, and the fact that ne had
no enemies nor any money about him pre-
friends have noted the fact that he has
not been himself since the hot weather in
July. While always rather quiet among
strangers, he was jovial among his friends
and always ready for a Jolly or an argu-
ment. During the last month however, he
has been taciturn and morose, and some
what absent minded. His family and
friends believe his mind was affected by
the heat and that he has wandered away
unconscious OF his surroundings.

Col. Alexander HogeIand, worker among
newsboys and boomer in particular of the
curfew ordinance spoke at the Fletcher
place Church last night. He stated that in
beginning an investigation to find out where
crime started, he had ascertained that about
twenty thousand boys and girls were in
reform schools in the country and that
about So per cent. of them went there from
cities and towns. At the same time it was
claimed that two-thirds of the inhabitants
of this country lived on farms. This con-
WINGED him that The criminal youths were
being recruited from cities and towns. 1t
was ascertained that in 1882, in eleven of the
largest cities of the country, employing
$1,000 police, the force of peace guardians
arrested 100000 men women and youths at
an expense of $40 600, 900, while in the same
year in the country, among the farmers and
outside of the cities, there were not $500 ar
rests altogether. The speaker called attention

this discrimination against Americans, Col.
Hogeland said that the parents, among the
nationalties above referred to, by fixed

at night and enforce home rule ana obedi-
ence. There is a demand among the Dusl-
ness men for boys raised just in this FASH
