Kidnapped Boy and Secured SIS 900
Ransom. ---Boers Worrying the
British Badly. .--FinaI Agreement
Reached Between Powers in China.

A sensational kidnapping case has
excited the whole country the past
week. The fifteen-year-old son of 4.
A. Cudahy, the wealthy packer OF
Omaha, was seized while in the street
one evening last week and taken by
unknown men to a lonely house where
he was kept under close surveillance
until the abductors could demand a
ransom from his father. BY letters,
they offered to return the boy unhurt
at certain time if the father would
drive outside the city to a point
designated and leave $4,000 in gold,
otherwise they threatened to put out
the boys eyes. The terrified parents
concluded to accept the terms and the
father left the bag OF gold weighing
nearly 100 pounds beside a lantern left
by one OF the rascals, who soon made
OFF with it. Even then it was un-
certain whether the boy would be
returned, but he was set down near
his home the same night unharmed.
He has been able to identify the place
where he was held, but nobody has
vet been arrested. Ii appears that the
utmost penalty for this offence in
Nebraska is only one year in prison.
Encouraged BY the success of this bold
scheme. other kidnapping cases have
occurred in various localities and
wealthy parents are thoroughly
alarmed.

numbers OF disahected Dutch from the
Colony and a widespread uprising
among them that would seriously

THE GOOD ROAD CUES

The agitation in favor of improved
roads may have been started by wheel
men; and if so, then this is only anoth
er proof of what blessing bikes are.
But others are now interested and the
question is not likely to be shelved very
soon. 1t is a question of vital import
ance to all classes. The merchant as
well as the farmer wants improved
roads. The man who buys farm pro-
duce as well as the man who sells, is
concerned in the question. We do not
know any better way to promote the
good cause than agitation-except one.
That one is with object lessons. Let
pieces of road, or some line selected for
the purpose of example, be made as it
should, and the earnest advocates of
the cause will be multiplied hundred
fold. Why could such an object lesson
not be given on some road leading into
Yale?

BLOOD TELLS.

If any body ever doubted that blood
was thicker than water the Boer-British
war ought to clear his mind on that
point. Pry open any mans heart, take
a peep at his real sentiments and SYM
pathies, you are almost certain to find
Dutch blood will favor the Beers, and
English blood the British. These may
be called race prejudices. BE that as it
may, the fact remains that Dutchmen
well nigh universally are hoping that
Dom Paul will win, and that those of
English blood want the Red Coats to
| be victorious.
