A CHILD TWICE KIDNAPPED.
The Mother Finds Daughter Stolen
In Florida Nine Years Ago.

In Florida Nine Years Ago.
A strange story of abduction came
to light in Columbia few days ago
when Mrs. Mcneil Wilson, of Dade
City, Fla, arrived and claimed her
daughter, Loula, who had been twice
stolen from home in Florida, the last
time nine years ago.
| The story as told by the mother is
almost like a climax chapter taken
flom some romance rich in It's holding
of human interest. The following
facts in the case were told by Mrs.
Wilson.
Nine years ago man named Miller
secured board at her home. He was
from the North and claimed to be an
author. He became strangely Infatua
ted with Mrs. Wilson's little daught
then but six years old.
Miller disappeared suddenly one
day, taking the child with him. For
eleven months search was made for
the kidnapped child and at the end of
this time she was located in a convent
at ST. Augustine. Mrs. Wilson inn
mediatey instituted legal proceeding
to secure her child, in which she sue
ceeded.
Several months later man named
Henderson, presumably acting for
Miller, appeared in Dade City, and, by
cleverly planned scheme, succeeded
in again kidnapping the child. Again
was search for her instituted. which
was rewarded by clews which led the
mother to believe her little daughter
was confined in convent in Selma,
Ala. Thither she went, only to find
that the abductors had gotten wind of
her coming and spirited the child
away.
During the intervening years Mrs.
Wilson was frequently in receipt Of
mysterious letters purporting to give
clews as to the whereabouts of her
child. Although Investigated IN euch
instance, the letters proved TO be false
clews. Mrs. Wilson's elder daughter
went to Canada on a fruitless errand
III answer to letter received Two years
ago. Her mother received a photograph
OF her child, but the postmark gave
no clew as to her whereabouts.
Last July the child came to Columbia
alone and applied to the Ursuline
convent for admission, saving her
name was Mary Young and bearing
letters signed by a Mr.. Miller. She
coul,i not tell much of her antecedents
and the mother superior refused to
admit her. One of the sisters, however,
secured the girl home with Mr.. and
Mrs. e. G. Sandifer, Catholic family
in the city, and with them she has
since lived.
She is bright, attractive girl and
knew there was some mystery in her
life. AS soon as she had gotten away
from Miller she comm enced to make
Investigations into matters referred to
IN letter of Miller's which had fallen
into her hands. She secured the names
of parties in South Florida and after
weeks of correspondence the chlld's
| efforts led to the mother coming to
Columbia, a happy reunion and the
ending of most remarkable case. The
mother and child left for their Florida
home at once. 1t is understood that
Miller Is now resident of Lake City,
Fla.

AN IMPORTANT DIsCOYERY.-E. S.
Martin, in the current number of Har-
per's Weekly, announces discovery
which will be read with very great in
terest by the public at large as we'll as
in scientific circles. According to this
writer, two well.known French
chemists, Drs. Degree and Balethazard,
have recently learned by accident that
bioxide of sodium will purify inclosed
air sufficiently to enable persons to
breathe 1t over and over again without
harmful effects,
This discovery was reached by seal
ing up animals in air-tight receptacles
along with Jumps of bioxide of sodium.
Instead of languishing the animals
found no difficulty in breathing what
ever. Encouraged by this disclosure
the chemists decided to carry the ex-
pertinent still further, and accordingly
they lowered man into the water with
a Divers helmet upon his head lined
with bioxide of sodium, but without
any tubular connection with the upper
air, and they found that the man
under these circumstances could
breathe for an indefinite length of time
without embarrassment.
In explanation of this apparent con-
travention of natural laws it is said
that bioxide of sodium absorbs the
carbon from the carbonic acid gas ex-
PEELED from the lungs and liberates
pure oxygen. If perfected, this dis
covery will prove of great practical
benefit not only to miners and drivers,
but also to people brought together in
close quarters, such as in schools,
theaters and hospitals.

PHENOMENON ORA CENTURY
An Interesting Display In the
Heavens That All Should OBJ

SSlNCs
Considerable interest is manifested
in the novel and beautiful view of the
planets now displayed in the evening
sky, and which will grow more and
moro interesting between now and the
latter part of the month.
Judge George llillyer, who is re-
garded as an authority on matters as
tronomical, has furnished the Atlanta
Constitution with the following state
ment regarding the unusual display:
elf just before dark, the observer
will stand with his right hand to the
west and thus looking toward to tie
south to the right of the meridian, a
little more than half way between the
zenith and the horizon, he will see
Venus, Jupiter and Saturn in line
diagonal to the meridian and pointing
toward the sunset. Venus is nearest
to the sun and much the brighter of
the three. Next to Venus, in the line
to the left and above Venus, is Jupiter,
and then Saturn in the same line to the
left and above Jupiter.
Venus is at this time about 0O,-
000,O00 miles from us; Jupiter, say
500, 100000 miles away, and Saturn
nearly twice as far as Jupiter. Either
Of them is immensely-near a thous.
andfold-larger than Venus. The
reason Venus shines 50 much brighter
than the other two is that she is much
nearer to us; and also being so much
nearer the sun than they she is in the
glow of the SUMS more brilliant and in
tense light, which is reflected to us.
"They are all travelling in their or
bits in the same direction eastward
but the apparent motion of Jupiter, as
projected on the vault of the heavens
| is more rapid than that of Saturn; and
such motion of Venus much more rapid
than either of the two, so that both
Venus and Jupiter are night after
night shortening the distance betweeu
them and saturn, and both of them
will nearly, or quite, overtake Saturn
within the next two weeks-say about
the Goth of November-when they
will be nearer together, as visible in {
C nvemeuL period of the twenty -foul
hours, than they have been in hun
dreds of years.
Between now and the 26lh instant
the moon will lass by the same plac,
in the heavens. This will occur abou
the half moon; and the most interest
ing display of all is, or will be, whel
! we shall have these four most brilliant
and interesting-and two of them b,
great odds the largest of the numbe
OF our planetary system-grouped s,
near together. Mars is on nearly tn
same line, but nearer the sun, AS seel
in tie sky, than either of the Others
but Mars, though distinguished by hi
steady red light, is 80 far off at thi
time on the opposite side of it's orbi
as not to compare with either of tn
others named in brilliancy. When
wrote short time ago the plane
Mercury was also on the same genera
line, and might have been seen be
tween the other planets aud the sun
Now, however, Merc1ry, which travel
around the sun in its orbit in abou
three months, has passed across be
tween us and the sun, and is at thu
time on the opposite side of the sur
, and from having then been an evenin
star, is now a morning star, and rise
ust before the SUM-"

Put into type, the following statement
has been made in special dispatches
from Washington
President Roosevelt has decided that
man who j,lts girl is not entitled to
appointment in the army, as such con-
duct may be properly termed ungentle-
manly anil contrary 10 the best interest
of the service. He has therefore
refused to appoint former Lieutenant
William p. Crawford, of Chester, s. c., :,
second lieutenant in the regular
army and satisfied the girls friends,
who have made determined fight
against the young mans appointment.
There is nothing against young
Crawford on file save the fact that he
refused to marry the young woman to
whom he was engaged, and there
would have been no obstacle in the
way of his appointment had she not
permitted her relatives and friends to
protest against his selection.

Assistant Secretary Sanger, when
seen, was extremely reticent, and, in
fact, would only go to the length of
admitting that the papers in the case
were before his Department. and being
given very careful consideration. He
expressed deep regret that the matter
had been aired in the newspapers, and
further SAIL that the statements pre-
senting the parties to the cont1o oversy
would, under no circumstances, be
given cut.

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating wom&n's peculiar monthly
troubles.
