Mrs. Miller.

Mrs Miller was Helen Karcher of Potts. town, Pa, and Samuel Miller met her nine years ago at Washington where his father was United States attorney general They were married year later and the boy Sydney is now years old Last summer MT. Miller was offered an opening in his fathers office and came west. Mrs. Miller refused to come, and since that time has lived in New York.
 It was last Friday when Mrs. Miller sud- denyl appeared in the city with the an- nouncement that she had come to get her boy and take him home with her. There were conferences between the father and mother, and Mrs. Millr employed ex-County Clerk Fesler to represent her. It was hoped compromise would be effected by which the boy could spend part of his time with each parent and nothing be made public concerning the matter. This seemed to be nearly accomplished till the sensational Kidnapping incident of this evening, when Mrs. Miller started for the Union station with the governess and boy in a closed carriage.
 sThe action of the nurse in hurling her self from the rapidly y-moving vehicle caused a commotion in the wholesale district this afternoon at o'clock. She was so excited that she does not remember where she telephoned from to notify w. H. Miller and his son that Mrs. Miller had started with
  and Samuel Miller, and the former sent her home to announce that the two had gone in pursuit and would return later with Sydney the Boy.
 The Union City accommodation on the Big Four leaves Indianapolis at 4:50. This is the train Mrs. Miller had originally intended taking, as supposed It goes as far as Union City on the State line. The Knicker- booker passes through Indianapolis at 6:25 and arrives at Union City at S:34. Finding that she would be overhauled at the Union station, when the nurse threw herself out Of the carriage Mrs Miller started at once for Brlghtwood, evidently intending to take the 4:50 train. It is supposed she intended going to some point along the road and then take the Kniekerbocker for the east. When she left the hotel Mrs. Miller announced that she was going to Union City for the night and would return tomorrow.
 W. H. IT. Miller and son returned at 10:40 tonight from points along the Big Four. No trace of Mrs. Miller and the boy could be secured. From the ticket agent at Bright wood it has been learned that the woman and boy did not buy ticket or take a train there
 The two Millers were met at the Union station on their return by three detectives and all went to MT ". H. H. Miller s office. The entire police and detective force of the city was employed to search the city for the woman and boy, and every officer in the city is now at work.

 It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe- ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most ether ailments begin with cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt ly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ail- ments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with copy of Dr.. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hart mans Columbus, Ohio.
