Rev. Henry Williams, pastor of the
First Baptist church at Cohoes, New
York, sailed Monday for an extended
tour in Europe. He was booked to sail
on the Main of the North German
Lloyd line, but that vessel was de-

ing. Other arrangements were made,
however, and he left at the time con-
templated.
Before his departure Rev. Williams
was presented with $25 from the Bar
ca union of his church. and the trus-
tees of the church gave him check
for 5000 in consideration of his untir-
ing efforts to get the new church re-
Gently erected, and his oversight of the
building, as well as for his faithful
pastorate.
Rev. Williams formerly resided in OF
tumwa and his many friends here will

Taken Away From
PARENTS

A singular and apparently unjust case
has just come to light, in which \
wealthy Jewish family in New York
has been separated from one of it's
younger members for the past four
years. The finale of the little drama
of life occurred in this city Monday
evening, when the mother was re-unit-
ed with the absent member of her
family, and very cleveriy and deter
minedly demonstrated the extent of
true motherly love.
The facts of the case are as follows:
In 1896 Hyman Beros, then IL years
of age, was arrested near his home in
New York City ON the charge OF
/ throwing rock thru school house
window. He was sent 10 juvenile
asylum in that city for a short time,
and upon the expiration cf his term,
it is claimed that he was taken in
charge by representative of some
protestant society with view OF find
ing home for him, and his parents
claim, to educate him in different
religion.
Be that as it may, the boy was event
ually comfortably provided for at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. b. II. Eastburn,
eight miles south of the city, and dur
ing all this time the other members
of the family knew not where the
little fellow was. The hoy's mother
put the case in the hands Of the lead
ing Jewish societies in New York, and
of the best known firms of criminal
lawyers in the country, he was located
at Ottumwa.
- INx
arrived in Ottumwa Monday morning,
and ut once went to rsattorney, b..
w. Scott, who in company with his
client, drove to the Eastburn farm.
The boy was seen working in the har-
vets field. and when his mother called
"Hyman, Hyman," overjoyed at the
sight of her long-lost son, the boy
recognized her Immediately and ran to
her at once.
Mrs. Beros and her attorney then
explained the whole matter to Mr..
Eastburn, who was perfectly innocent
of everythings except that he had
legally adopted the boy, as he thought,
and refused to give him up. But upon
becoming convinced by Attorney Scott
of the mothers legal claim, consented
to release him.
| He consented to Mrs. Beros bringing
her son to Ottumwa 70 spend the
Fourth, and he, Mr.. Eastburn, came to
Ottumwa yesterday himself. He was
somewhat disappointed. however, n
not finding the mother and her boy
here. They did not wait for any pre-
| liminary or legal proceedings to re-
lease the son, but the mother, with 7
higher claim than that which is grant
ed by man, boarded the first train for
New York City, and is presumably eel
ebrating the Fourth today with her
reunited family.
Mrs. Beros bore letters of identiff-
cation which We're of unquestionable
authority. The communications stated
that she was woman perfectly able
financially to carry out her search for
her lost child, and everything indl-
Gated that she is member of a
wealthy and refined family.

newspaper published in Kansas, bo1ted
w. j. Bryan and declared for the Re
publican national and state tickets Sat
urday evening. The Tribune supported
Mr.. Bryan four years ago and the change
in the policy of the paper proved a
great surprise to the Leavenworth Flu
sion leaders. Leavenworth Germans are
said to be opposed to Breidenthal be-
cause he is a member of the Prohibition
state executive committee A part OF the
Tribune's article announcing its support
of the Republicans follows:
The Tribune does not hesitate to
state that Governor W. E Stanley has
shown himself to be broad minded Of
fetal He has treated Leavenworth and
the other cities of the state in a liberal
manner and has avoided meddling in To-
cal affairs His course in state affairs
has been with a view Of advancing the
interests of Kansas, and his administra-
ton has been clean and devoid of scan
dal- He has recognized the Germans by
appointing large number of them, to
state positions The Germans know
him to be a broad minded, patriotic
safe executive. He has faithfully kept
the promise he made to the people of
LeavenwOrth in Turner hall two years
ago.
