campaign and do away with the small ward
meetings to some extent. 1t has occurred to
them that the whole people must be got to
see that the county is in the grasp of a rolit-
ical ring, and that the court house and city
hall crowd control absolutely in Republican
conventions. This fact cannot be gotten to
all Of the people, for all Of the people will
not turn out to ward meetings nor to general
meetings. In old days In St. Paul the open
air campaign was the effective campaign
The man who is not interested in politics to
the extent of going deliberately to a meeting
will step and listen to an argument that ne
hears in passing, and it has been suggested
that the campaigns of the days, when Gen.
Sibley used to preside over the open-air
more effective than the modern idea Of gath
erng In small halls. 1t is complained. and
it is a fact, that only partisanS attend the
hall meetings. That men who have POLITICAL
convictions go to their own party meetings
and not to those of the other party. The
proposal for open-air meetings is still in the
speculative stage, but it is being pushed by
some Of the Democratic leaders.

Explains why the Daughter of w.
f. Smith Was Taken Back to
PrnirieviIIe, wis.
Principal J. c. Bryant, of the Cen
trail High school, has received a letter
from Rev. G.. w. Pixley, pastor of the
First Baptist church at Prairievllle,
Mich, which throws considerable addi-
tional light upon the alleged abduction
Of Miss Edna A. Smith, which occurred
on Tuesday. Since the disappearance
OF Miss Smith nothing has been heard
Of her except short note written by
Mr.. PiXley on the train to William F.
Smith, Miss Smiths father, which
sta ted that he had Edna with him, and
was taking her to Prairieville.
Rev. Mr.. PiXley's letter runs as fol-
lows:
Allow me to explain my apparent abuse of
the hospitality of the Central high school last
Tuesday. Miss Edna Smith was taken by her
father last October from the home where she
had lived and been cared for since she was
three days old. He made strict promise and
put it in writing when she went that she
should be returned to Mrs. De VOLTS farm in
May, 1885, but told man here before he
started that she should not return at all.
Oct. % he write the same to me.
About the same time he began a series of
most abusive and insulting letters to Miss
De Wolf and to erase and rewrite Edna 5
letters. From the first no letter was allowed
to reach her without going through his hands.
These things drove Miss De Wolf almost in
sane, and she wrote some very foolish and
improper letters to Edna, scarcely knowing
what she did. When she went she eXacted a
pS9mise from ME that I would write every
week. For a time l did so, and soon he
began to keep back letters from me to her
and from her to me.
In June he stopped the correspondence en-
trely, all of which he had a perfect legal
right to do. Only one little note direct from
her has been received here this year, and that
revealed a very homesick girl and said:
know what he would do.
The climax of all came Sept. %, in a letter
unintelligible to us, except in the supposition
that she wrote it under force and that it con-
tanned direct falsehood Edna told Us Tues
day that she never saw the part that sur
prised us so; that he altered it to suit him
Self but. On seeing the letter, l determined to
know the truth. Hence my visit to st. Paul
We had idea of bringing her away with
US, only to see her and know how she was
During recess that day she told Miss n. that
she was coming with us After an hours talk
with her l consulted a lawyer to the bes
course to pursue, and followed his advice as
closely as seemed practical to me.
I regretted very much the need OF bringing
her away from school, which 1 feel is almost
a sacred place. but I have been strictly con-
sciaGtious in what l have done, and believe
you would have done likewise in the same
circumstances. Respectfully yours,
C. V. Pixley.

They Result I'm Il Suit to Recover
$4,000 for Alleged SIandeP.
NEWARK, o., Oct. 5.-Chap1ain John
M. Life, of the Seventh Ohio volunteers,
has filed a suit against Rose Lee Burch,
daughter of Lieut.. Col. Burch, of the
same regiment, for $4,000, charging
false and malicious libel.
Miss Burch is the organist Of the
church I'm Hebron, Of which the Rev.
Mr.. Life is pastor. She signed a state
ment accusing the chaplain of hugging
and kissing her and also making an i'm
proper proposal in a letter written from
Camp Alger.
The chaplain declares the accusations
were made to disgrace him as a
preacher and citizen, and that Miss
Burch has been made a tool by enemies
who want to do him injury because or
his activity in anti-saloon work.
At the Methodist conference In
Athens the charges against Life were
referred to the presiding elder for in
Vestigation.
Lieut.. Col. Burch says Life is absent
from Camp Bushnell without leave and
may be court-marta led.
