BOY KIDNAPPED.

en- While Gone On An Errand
----Detectives at Work.

Omaha, Neb Dec. 19-The parents OF
Ed. Cudahy, Jr., 10 years of age, reported
to the police last night that he had dis
some books to the home OF a neighbor,
only few blocks away. No trace of the
missing boy had been found this morn
ing. He was last seen at the Rustin
home, where he took the books. After
that he disappeared rs completely as il
swallowed in the darkness. If he was
seer after that no one has yet impaired
the information to the parents or police.
Chief of Police Donahue took hand
in the affair this morning, calling early
at the Cudahy home to learn all the
known circumstances. The entire de-
tective force has been more or less occu-
pied with the mystery since last night.
All sorts Of theories have been advanced
and acted upon, but no light has been
shed upon the case. 1t was ascertaiped
this morning that when the boy left
home that he had little or no money and
could not therefore have proceeded far
of his own volition. II he has been kid
mapped the police think it is probable for
ransom and is in that event perhaps
miles away from Omaha by this time.
Mr.. Cudahy engaged half a dozen men
this morning to search, besides some ex-
ira men the police secured to aid them in
the search.
When the boy left home last night he
was accompanied by dog. The animal
came home alone and WAS much excited
during the night. he police are work

that beet sugar factory can prosper
near Denver as we'll as at any other point
in the state where factories are already
erected.
The men named az directors of the
now investment have parted with their
interests in the Grand Junction factory
largely because suitable rates could not
be obtained from railroads. They still
intend to keep the Loveland factory and
in addition will see that tho beet sugar
business is started in earnest in Arapa-
hoo county where satisfactory rates can
be secured and sugar furnished to the
people Of this city at a low price
Mr.. Boettcher was asked yesterday az
to the plans Of the company.
"There il nothing for publication yet, -
he said.
"Hou about the policy OF the men
who are in this new company Has il
changed since they sold out at Grand
Junction."
Well, the best sugar business under
our direction at Loveland will still go
on"
"Will anything be done 10 any other

"You will hear in shors time of the
beet sugar business under tho supervis-
ion Of this new company being started in

Thomas Jefferson became the leader

its ratification by the several states.

nominated Gen. w. II. Harrison, the
hero Of Tippecanoe. in 1910. It was q
foregone conclusion that Van Buren,
would be beaten. And SO he was by

The Democratic sentiment OF the
country lost little by the defeat OF
Van Buren,. Harrison had been an
Andy Jackson Democrat, while Tyler.
the Wing candidate, agreed with Jack
son on the money question. When
Tyler became president by the death
of Harrison he carried out Democratic
principles. James X. Polk was the
next Democratic candidate and was
chosen In 1874.
