the mother gave him a small diamond

to the settlement to fish and told Bill
that the ring was worth $50. The lugger-
man was astonished, and was proper

of diamonds as representing large sums
in small compass.
" It instantly occurred to him that It
would be a good idea to invest his sur

on his person, secure from fire or

Elsie Jordan, a Fourteen Year
Old Girl Of Mount Hope,
Thought to Have ElOped With
a Farm Hand.
PARENTS OPPOSED.
Girl and Lover Met at Church
Then Disappeared.
Father Making Diligent Search
For the Runaway.

Wichita, Oct. 1.-THE e1opement OF
Miss Elsie Jordan and John Fleming
caused a sensation in the little town Of
Mount Hope, this county Sunday night.
The case was more interesting owing to
the fact that Miss Jordan is only IA
years of age.
John Fleming is about % years Of
age. He came to Mount Hope from Col
Orado about a year ago and has been
working among the farmers in the
nefghbOrhood. He became acquainted
with Miss Jordan and determined to
make her his wife When the parents
of the girl were informed of this they
refused their permission and said their
daughter was too young to get mar
ried.
When Fleming found that the par
ents of the girl opposed his suit he did
not make any noise about it but bided
his time. His opportunity came when
they both attended services at the
Christian church Sunday night. About
Is minutes before the benediction was
pronounced Mr.. Jordan noticed his
daughter leave the church, but his sus-
piciOnS were not aroused and after
church when he began to look around
for his daughter he could not learn
anything of her whereabouts. He then
supposed that she was out with some of
her young friends and would show up
all right later.
The missing girl could not be found
and Mr.. Jordan after time found out
that Fleming was at the church and
that a, train left for Wichita a. few min
uteS after his daughter left the church.
These two facts convinced him that she
had elOped with Fleming and come to
this city. He telegraphed to Judge
Haymaker not to grant a marriage Ii
cenSe to the runaWays and he got his
team and started for this city in the
hope of finding them.
He went to the probate court and
there learned that no license had been
applied for The police were informed
of the case and they turned out to try
to locate the parties but up to this time
nothing had been heard of them since
they left the church in Good Hope. JOS
eph Jordan, the father of the missing
girl is one of the prominent farmers OF
this county and he is very greatly Wor-
ried over the disappearance of his
daughter. He will not spare any pains
or expense to find her and it may not
be healthy for Mr.. Fleming if he meets
the father of his intended wife.

SUBJECT OF IMPERIALISM
Debated by Episcopal Church Con-
gress at St Paul

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE nine
teenth congress of the Protestant Epis-
copal church opened it's session in this
city yesterday with q large attendance
of leading churchmen from all parts of
the United States. Holy communion
was celebrated in the morning at Christ
church, Bishops Whipple and Gilbert of
Minnesota, officiating. Following this
service Bishop White of Michigan City,
Ind, delivered an address.
In the afternoon the delegates visited
various points of interest and at 4:30
were rendered a formal reception at the
Ryan hotel This evening the regular
services of the congress began. the
large auditorium of the Peoples church
being we'll filed with delegates and visi-
tors. Bishop Whipple, the venerable
and famous Northwestern missionary
who was rendered such notable series
of receptions in Great Britain last year,
and who is the senior bishop of the
American church, presided, a position
he will hold at all the sessions during
the week. Bishop Whipple briefly well
coined the congregation to this city and
state. The topic for the hour was Does
National Expansion Involve Imperial
ISM

frmative.
He was followed by Rev. Dr. Rufus

the position taken by the famous New

Dor, and others.

LABOR AND TRUSTS

It will be noted that one by one the
labor leaders are coming out on the
side Of the trusts. Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
OF Labor. is the latest to declare his
opposition to legislative interference
with these great combinations Of cap
ital
The reason for this position, as al
legged by Mr.. Gompers, is that he doubts
the ability of the government to accom-
plish any good result There are prob
ably other reasons which the dis
tingufshed labor leader has not men
toned. One of these is a fear that any
legislation antagonistic to trusts will
be made to bear with equal force
against trades unions and labor or
ganizatiOns generally. Another is the
belief that the formation of trusts will
ultimately lead to state socialism which
many OF the men prominent in labor
councils favor.
1t looks very much as though the poll
ticians who are striving to raise a
trust issue in order to catch the labor
vote may find when it is too late to
retreat that they have made mistake.

A STREET DUEL
Between Editors in New Orleans Re,
suits in Damage to Both.

New Orleans, La, Oct. IA desper-
ate street duel occurred in front OF
Newspaper Row, on Camp street yes
terday, in which Domick G. O'Malleys
proprietor OF the Evening Item and a
well known promoter of sport and Q.
Harrison Parker, state tax collector,
chairman of the Democratic state cam
paign committee and editor-in-c chief OF
the Delta, the anti-lottery organ, were
seriously, if not fatally wounded. The
trouble is said to have originated over
a cartoon in the Item last Sunday, rep
resenting Col. Parker as a little dog
being led by a string by Governor Fos-
ter and labelled Me too
About o'clock O'Malley came out OF
his office accompanied by Parson Dav-
les, and walked only a few yards when
Parker, who was across the street con-
versing with some friends, turned and
saw him. He started toward O'Malley
and the men seemed to have expected
trouble, for both drew revolVers at once
and began firing, each continuing until
his pistol was empty. By the time the
duel was over the men were only about
80 feet apart. It was then found that
each man had been hit twice. Parker
received a ball in the side, which made
shoulder. O'Malley was seriously
wounded in the groin and also received
a bullet in the neck. A neWsboy fully
a hundred yards away was shot in the
head by one of O'Malley's bullets, but
the ball did not penetrate the skull and
the boy will recover. Both men are
resting easy, but it is too soon to tell
definitely as to their chances for recov-
cry O'Malley has been in several
shooting affairs, and Parker wounded

Night

ottawa, Oct. 11-Last evening the
family of superintendent Pyle at the

ment of the establishment.

no bonds will be issued. In lieu thereof
1t IS proposed to sell railroad stock
owned by the county, as well as the
situated in the center of the city and
alongside the A T. & S. F. main track.
It is the latter fact that makes the
present location so Objectionable, be-
cause of noise caused by passing trains,
when all BUSINESS in court has to cease.
The commissioners also ask for an an
nua1 tax of mills on the dollar.
The school board of the city of En-
poria has also decided to submit a pro-
position to the people. They ask the
issue of $4,000 in bonds to build new
school houses. A similar proposition
for a larger amount was voted on by
the people about a year ago and de-
feated.

FLOAT CATCHES FIRE.
Sensational Ending of Chicago
Fall Festival Parade.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE last parade Of
the fall festival was the industrial pa
rade last night. A drizzling rain was
falling and only a very small crowd
turned out to witness it.
The parade was confined to floats Of
business houses.
A display of fire not on the parade
program took place when the procession
was passing along State street. A float
representing a man reclining on q
mountain of collars and cuffs, caught
fire and the frightened horses tried to
rush upon the sidewalk, which was lined
with spectators. At this moment an
other float collided with the one on fire
and in a, twinkling both were blazing
fiercely. By this time people on the
street were in a panic. The police were
busy with the burning floats and could
not stop the crushing and roughness in
the crowd. Children were stepped on
and women reeled back in the crowd
exhausted. A bunch of fireworks on
one of the floats exploded. Through
the smoke the police saw two women
and three men on one of the floats i'm
prisOned in the burning stuff. They
fought to the side of the wagon, but
were unsuccessful for a, time When
the fire was put out. it was found that
Harry Lowell of 231 Wabash avenue,
who had impersonated an Indian on
one of the floats was severely burned.
He viii recover. A number OF others
were injured.
