Illinois Boy stolen by Gypsies Dnd
afterwards Escapes.
Nation, H.. July s.-The local au-
thorities are at work on Very myster-
ious kidnapping case and are trying to
get some clew that will lead to the app
prehenslon of pair of alleged gypses
or travelling horse traders. who are
charged with kidnapping Thomas WEIGH
the 9-year-old son of Daniel Walch.
According TO the story told by the lad
he went uptown last night with his
father. who. after purchasing some
household supplies. started the boy
home with the purchases. AS the lad
was on his way home he was seized by
man and carried to a wagon that was
standing out in the street. He tried to
scream and attract attention. but the
man quickly sifled his cries by placing
his hand over his mouth.
The wagon was quickly driven out Of
town, and the occupants. man and a
woman, continued their driving until 2
or o'clock this morning. when they
went into camp. AS soon as the boy
was placed in the wagon his hands We're
tied and the rope held by the man and
woman in turn, so he should make no
dlleHipl W cSNdpe
their attention.
The boy found that there were two
little girls In the back of the wagon,
each of them or years old. They We're
tied hand and foot and lay in a box.
and We're unable to move at all.
AS soon as young Welch realized the
situation he tried to get his hands loose,
and finally succeeded in doing so by
gnawing in two the rope with which he
was tied.
When the people went to work, about
noon, to build fire on which to cook
their dinner, the boy stole out of the
side of the wagon and ran away with
out attracting the attention of his Gus
todians He was finally picked up by
man driving to town. and he was
brought back to Nation about O. clock
Sunday afternoon.
1t is impossible to tell anything about
the probable location of the kidnapers
by the story of the boy. as he was kept
under cover and was too badly excited
to take any notice OF directions He
dose not know who brought him to town
and the authorities are trying to find
the man. with the hope OF locating the
place where the boy escaped.
The lad was missed last evening and
his relatives spent the night hunting
him.
Under the new Illinois law kidnapping
is a capital crime.

AMERICAN THRIFT.
Foundation of Our supremacy In tho
Industrial world.

st. Louis Republic.
In the increase OF crude materials i'm
ported for manufacturers in this country
during the year 1900 the ingenuity and
forwardness OF the American workmen are
shown in a remarkable degree.
According to reports OF the Treasury
Bureau OF Statistics, $275, ,000,0 900 worth OF
raw material was imported, while, IL to this
be added the total OF articles wholly or
partially manufactured for use as materials
in manufacturing, the grand total would
be $3.50 900. equaling 45 per cent of all
importatons. This is the largest in the
history OF the United states. both in volume
and in relative percentage.
Peter Curran, fraternal delegate from
England to the conference recently held at
Arlington hall in New York gave one Of the
principal reasons for this wonderful increase
in the Importation OF raw materials when he
made the statement: "Your employers are
getting more work out OF the workingmen
than are the employers in the old country
and the manner in which you rush in this
country would not be tolerated for a single
moment in England"
As yet no one has heard American work
ingmen complain about the manner in which
they rush" The American spirit OF com
merce is rapidly conquering the world and
the workingman is behind II all. II the
manufacturers in Great Britain were awake
to the fact that American workingmer
rush" because they take a pride in their
work. they would not now be introducing
into Parliament bills TO drive products OF
the United States out OF competition.
England has not had the increase In this
class Of importations which has marked the
rise Of the American workman with his i'm
proved methods and better brains. On tho
contrary, the Indifference Of the British
workman has borne fruit in a decrease o.
importations in that country that has beer
CALLING to the nation OF a departed com

DIsAPPEARANCB OF CITIES.
Twentieth Century Prophets Let Go a
Few Prophecies.

Ex-senator Edmunds recently deprecated
the growing concentration OF wealth in this
country as grave social menace. Ex-
Mayor Hewitt followed with structures upon
the indifference Of persons OF wealth to
the glaring ills OF our social life and with
a declaration that II present day cities
were to be regarded as the best environ
ment which modern progress can provide for
human life, he would prefer to see them
stricken as were Sodom and Gomorrah and
their inhabitants returned to the native
soil.
over against these utterances may be
cited another just made by Henry ID. Lloyd.
Early in this century he declares. "a
well known citizen of Boston will perfect
his invention for the conversion OF carbon
coal directly into electricity without the
use OF fire." he having already made a
laboratory success of this" The indus
trial revolution" wrought by steam will
be but a summer shower to that following"
this success. BY the ownership OF the
patents "a score Of men will become the
masters Of society" and social revolu-
ton" will accordingly be provoked. In the
improved social organization following
power will flow In every house and shop
as freely as water" now flows and "the new
rapid transit" will make 1t possible for
cities to be 400 or 500 miles in diameter" "
the farthest point still being within an
hour of the center" Not only will the
"smoke nuisance In cities" then ''be abol-
ished." but $50 will the cities themselves" "
and 1.-THE population will be educated back
to their old home-the soil"
Aside from the precise outlines of this
broad prediction 1t is entirely reasonable
to expect that the mechanical inventions OF
this century will be even more potent in
their influence upon social development and
organization than were those Of the nine
| teenth century. 1t is also reasonable &c
suspect that such inventions will include
some method for developing and distribut'
ing power. which will reverse the central
izing influence Of steam upon population.
The fire from heaven conditionally in
voked by ex-Mayor Hewitt may really come
for its work. though in the form of some
new principle OF power production and dis,
! tribution.
