MISSING BOYS IN CHICAGO
Andrew Hickman and Michael
Grady, Runaways, Found in
the Windy City.
THEIR TRAVELS A MYSTERY
Chief OF Police Dolan Hears of
the Wilmington Lads and Cap
tain Kane Starts Today
to Bring Them
Home.

Chief OF Police Dolan received a dis
patch from Chicago, ILL.,, about 7.3(
O'Clock last evening to the effect that thu
three boys who had disappeared from
this city on Friday, September 3Oth, hat
been apprehended.
They are Michael Grady, aged l:
years, son of Michael Grady, shoe dealer
at Third and King streets.
Andrew Hickman, aged IA years, sor
OF John Hickman, OF No. 500 Walnut
street, and Charles Groves, aged II
years, son of Charles Groves, Sr, candy
manufacturer of Fourth and King streets
The parents of the boys were immedi.
ately notified, and they expressed joy a,
learning that the boys had been finally
located.
On the day designated young Grady
was given $S6 by his father to deposit in
bank.
As the boy in doing these errands fire..
quently stayed away for an hour or two,
no attention was paid to his absence
until about O'Clock in the evening.
His father becoming alarmed, then
searched for him in his usual haunts,
but finding that he was unable to find
him notified the police department of
his sons disappearance.
On investigation they soon ascertained
that young Grady had not been at the
bank with the money and they at first
supposed that the boy may have met
with foul play.
This theory was dropped after rigid
investigation and it was then learned at
the French street station of the P, w. 4
B. railroad that Grady, in company with
young Groves and Hickman, had pur-
chased tickets for Philadelphia and had
departed on the train leaving at l.37
o'clock IN the afternoon for that city.
When he purchased the tickets Grady
had displayed large roll of bills. The
police telegraphed description of the
runaway boys to the Philadelphia po-
lice, but they have not as vet been able
to secure any trace of them after they
had alighted from the train in the Quaker
City.
Here all traces of the runaways was
lost, and since then their parents have
been in suspense for fear the boys had
met with foul play.
How the boys managed to get as far
as the Windy City is mystery, as it is
not believed that they had sufficient
money with them to get there without
riding on freights part OF the way.
This, however, will be cleared up
when the boys are brought home. Cap
tain of Police Kane left here this morn
ing for Chicago, and will see that the
arrive home in safety.

INDIANS WERE WRONGED.

of the Pillage Outbreak.

T. X. Leup, of Washington, an agent
of the Indian Rights Association, was in
this city Yesterday and in speaking of
the trouble now existing among the In
dians in Minnesota, said that the out
break among the Pillage Indians at Red
Lake, is the outcome OF long series Of
wrongs imposed on them BY government
officials and private citizens Of the West.
Mr.. Leup explained that the imme.
diate trouble grew out OF the failure Of
the government to pay the fees of num-
Der Of Indians who had been witnesses in
liquor cases. In explaining what is
meant by liquor cases Mr.. Leup said that
they were the outcome of the open sale
of "Indian whiskey" alleged to be con-
coction OF alcohol, strychnine and ashes.
He also called attention to the way in
which the Red Lake Chippewas are said
to have been victimized in lumber est-
mates on their reservations

TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT AGAIN
EXCEEDS $1,000 CARS.
Business of indianapolis Lines in Feb
ruary-Earnings of Roads Cross
ing Indiana Last Month.

The business of the week ending March
was a great surprise to freight officials.
So heavy was traffic through December,
January and February, and in fact since
Sept l. that falling off was looked for
with the coming in of March, at least in
east-bound shipments, but. contrary to ex-
pectation, in all directions an increased
business is shown, there being received and
forwarded at Indianapolis 1876 cars q, All
being loaded, an increase over the proceed
ing week of 902 loaded cars, 4S52 more than
were handled at this point in the corre-
spending week of 1897, 3431 more than in
1885, g. 4O6 more than in 1895 and 4317 more
than in 1894. The empty car movement was
not as large as has been the case for some
weeks past This is due to the fact that a
larger per cent of cars are loaded in both
directions than usual, East-bound there is
again a heavy movement of grain, hay.
provisions and produce, and the shipments
of live stock and dressed meats are heavier
than usual in March. West-bound traffic is
the heaviest ever known in March in the
higher class freights, and each week is
showing an increased tonnage in the lower
class. The improvement in business is not
confined to the east-and-west lines, but the
north-and-south lines are greatly profiting
through the Improvement in the business
situation Not in many years have the ship
ments of lumber to Northern works
been so heavy, and Southern manufactur-
ers are shipping their product to Northern
markets, while southwark the shipments of
provisions cerealine products and merchan-
disc are heavy. Local business is reaching
it's good times volume. The stock yards
the packing houses, the manufacturers of
products from corn the iron industries fur
niture dealers and carriage works are all
larger shippers than at any time in several
years and the tonnage of merchandise,
to increase the nltnnbeff of platform men,
while on the bulk tracks and private
to increase the volume. Below is given the
car movement for the week ending March

as such; but, after all. what will be the
outcome? Nothing is really proposed by
either side but truce and a bit of patch
work. Here is a problem of vast impor-
tance to every citizen of the State. It is
not contest among Schoolmen merely: il
is question of state educational policy
and it should be dealt with in a purely BUSH
ness way, just as the new charter OF Indi-
annapolis was, for l submit that the present
situation makes it imperative that an edu-
eational system should be adopted by the
State. A new charter should be given 10
all Indiana schools and colleges, to the end
that That, the state may get the benefit OF he
$3,000O0 of aggregate endowment Of the
nonstate colleges and that university buun-
ties may be curtailed and the revenues thus
saved may be used in putting Indiana
abreast the times. We are not without a
precedent in this matter. The New York
plan which has worked well for a hundred
years or more, Is adaptable to Indiana.
The University of the State of New York
has no professors; 1t has no studen.s. Its
object is to encourage and promote higher
education, to visit and inspect the several
institutions and to administer the finances
of the lower schools that are not privately
endowed. The university is made up Of
twenty-three regentS-the Governor, secre-
tary of state and superintendent of puniic
instruction, ex officio members, and n:ne-
teen regents chosen by the Legislature, o
one of whom shall be officially connected
with any OF the colleges represented. Such
a system is possible in Indiana. Why may
not this club move iH the matter and set
in motion the machinery which shall bring
about this great contamination? No more
catholic and representative a body in eGu-
cational matters can be found"
