GYPSIES STOLE GIRL.
Indiana Man Rescues Lost Daughter
After Nine Years in Servitude.

Charlottesville. Ind, Oct. 23.-Nine
years ago the 10 year old daughter of
Peter Bell, a miller living at St Mary's.
Mercer county, O., failed to return
home from school. Although the canal
was firmly frozen, the belief became
general that she had been drowned. Her
father, however, refused to believe the
story and spent his meager savings
searching for her. Finally Bell also be-
came convinced that the girl had been
drowned. She has now been found in a
gypsy camp.
Last August a band of gypsies cam p
ed near Bells mill and one of them, out
of revenge, told Bell that his child had
been abducted by gypsies. He said that
he had come all the way from Mexico,
Mo-, to inform the father of the where
abouts of his long-lost child.
Bell, his wife and their other daugh-
ter rode to Indianapolis by wagon. From
there they walked to Peoria, ILL.,; then
to Keokuk, Iowa, and finally traced the
gypsies to Carthage. Arriving at Garth
age last Saturday the Bells found the
band they sought. When the leader was
confronted by officers and the father of
the long-1ost girl he attempted to shoot,
but the officers covered him with weap-
ons and he gave up the girl. The young
woman says she has been compelled to
beg food and clothing for all of the
gypsies, who have treated her cruelty.

READY AT LAST.
KIstler Street Will Now Be Opened
Without Delay.

City Treasurer Hale today notified
Street Commissioner Frank Snyder that
the money is now in the city treasury
to pay for the opening of Kistler street
in North Topeka, and alley in Park
dale between Lake and Lime, and Fifth
street and Sixth street. The money has
been received in the city treasury from
the county, as q result of the annual
settlement of the county finances.
The opening of Kistler street is one
of the ancient bones which has been
coming up for contention at council
meetings for such a long time that no.
body remembers when the trouble
started. The portion of Kistler street
which is closed to traffic is located be-
tween Kansas avenue and Monroe, a
distance of two blocks. Years ago con-
domination proceedings were commence
ed. The land was appraised, and the
tax assessed on the abutting property.
The tax has been very slow in coming
in. For the past year only one tract re-
manned unpurchased, but this one tract
blocked the whole proceedings. Now
the city has the money to complete the
deal, and the street comm issioner will
open the street as soon as the grading
for sidew alks is completed. which will
be within a week or two. The street
will be ready for use before cold wealth
er begins.

SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early

A change from warm to cold is always
attended with more danger than from

the greater mortality from lung and
throat diseases at this season of the year
as compared with spring.
The best protection against colds Is
not so much in extra clothing as in good
digestion.
If the digestion and circulation are

Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight

People who make regular practice
of taking =Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals are free from colds, simply
because their digestion is perfect, the

A FREE COUNTRY.

This outburst of wrath in the south
over the fact that President Roosevelt
had Booker T. Washington to dinner
with him at the White House WedneS-

hot-heads say that the president In
suited the south by his action The New

declares that it was little less than a
studied insult to the south. adopted at
the outset of his administration for the
purpose of showing his contempt for
the sentiments and prejudices of this
section, and of forcing upon the coun-
try social customs which are utterly
repugnant to the entire south"
All rot Utter nonsense. Foolish
drivel This is a free country. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has a right to choose
his own guests. If he wants to invite
a negro. or a Malay or a Hindu or
Hottentot to dine with him he has
perfect right to do so. and it is no
body's business but his own
We don't understand that President
Roosevelt invited any southerners to
meet his cultured and eminently re-
spectacle negro at dinner. He has not
undertaken to create a revolution in the
placed any obligations upon the south
erners to invite colored men to dinner.
1t is a fact. however. which some OF
these excitable critics who are crying
so loudly, Outrage" and Studied in

ed southern Democrats have dined at
the same table with negroes in the
south and no earthquake followed.

Booker It. Washington at her table at
the last commencement and hundreds
of college men ate with him and were
not offended, nor was the south insult

her official table at commencement din

ties thus honor negroes on social occa-
sions the president is privileged to have
a respectable negro with him at quiet
little family dinner if he likes. He asks

CISCO On the return trip Mr.. Hender-

several improvements at division points.
At some places additional buildings
are required and more or less new ma

says the growing business makes this
imperative.
As result of this tour a meeting of

STANDARD LOCOMOTIVES.
Effort Being Made to Improve Indian
Train Service

The English locomotive builders have
issued a statement approving of the ac-
ton of the Indian secretary, Lord
George Hamilton, and the viceroy of
India, Lord Curzon, in making arrange
ments for conference of Indian rail-
road men in Calcutta in December to
consider the adoption of a Standardized
ton of locomtives such as exists in the
United States. They point out its ad-
vantages, saying that individual rail-
roads should not manufacture their
own engines, and criticise the severity
of the governn ent inspection of engines
designed for the colonies, which obstac-
les the American builders have not to
contend with.
The statement also says that a spec
ia1 expert commissioner, presumably
representing the Glasgow builders, has
just visited the principal locomotive
shops in America. Although he reports
that he was favorab1y impressed with
the superior intelligence. industry and
sobriety of the American men. he also
