PAT GROVE
Has Written Another Letter to the
Omaha Chief of Police.

Omaha Chief of Police.
OMAHA, October 21.-Pat Grove has
written another letter to Chief of Po-
lice Donahue. This latest communica-
ton from the alleged kidnapper was
mailed here and states that the much
wanted Pat is secluded within twenty
five miles of this city.
The writer insists that unless he
shall be given assurance from the court
that his bond will not exceed $500 he
will not give himself up. The commu-
nication evidently was written by the
same man that wrote a letter to the
chief a week ago. A brother Of Pat
Grove and sister, both identified the
writing as that of the man who has so
long evaded the police and detective
forces of the country.
They profess to believe that their
brother is near Omaha at this time.
They deny that they have an uncle liy-
ing in Manchester, Iowa, and say the
only uncle they have, who, if he is still
living, remains in Ireland.

the girl was dead.
A band OF gypsies camped near the
Bells mill last August, and one of them
out Of revenge, told Bell that his child
had been abducted by gang of gypsies
nine years ago. He said he had come
all the way from Mexico, Mo-, to in
form the father of the whereabouts 1T
his child.
Bell at once made preparations to go
in search of the girl, and with Mrs. Bell
and their oder daughter. started for
Indianapolis in a wagon. There they
sold their wagon and began the journey
on foot. They walked to Peoria, and
from there to Quincy and Keokuk,
Iowa, finally traced the band OF gypsies
to Carthage.
Arriving there last Saturday. the
Bells found the band in camp. When
the leader was confronted by the father
of the girl and local officers, he drew
gun, but the officers overpowered him
and he gave UP the girl. The young
woman says she has been compelled to
beg food and clothing for the entire
band of gypsies, who at all times have
treated her cruelty. MIR. Bell intends
to have the gypsies indicted and ex-
tradited to Mercer county, Ohio, for
trial. He has spent his last cent in
search for his daughter.

TO GAIN
BY Navarre's Unfriendly
Attitude Towards
W. & |. E. RAILROAD
The improvements Proposed at
That Place are Now to
be Made at

The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway
company announces that the improve.
ments they had intended to make al
Navarro will be made instead AT Can
ton.
: In speaking of the matter an official
of the w. & l.. e. said:
There has been a disposition at Ma
varre to harrass the company with
petty legislation. Old state claims have
been revived and every effort of the
company to improve its property there
has been made difficult for them to do
There has been disposition to act to-
wards the railroad company in a mar
row and rigid manner in place of a
broad spirit the company had a reason
to expect when it was doing so much to
aid the town.
When the w. & L. e. purchased the
c.. c. & S. it also purchased a short
time after considerable of real estate
at Navarro with the intention of i'm
proving the same. 1t was the COM
pany's intention to do a great deal for
Navarro and to aid the place in ma
terial sense. The unfriendly attitude
assumed against the company has
caused the w. & l.. e. people to feel
that it is not advisable to spend much
money there, and the decision has been
made that the intended improvements
at Navarro shall be made in Canton
where the attitude of the city and coun-
Gil has been fair and liberal to the COM
pany. and as a result Canton will reap
the benefit that Navarro was to have
had. Corporations are like individuals,
they do not like to be needlessly op.
pressed.
Navarro had a great opportunity,
but failed to grasp it,"

GORGEOUS PILGRIMAGE.
President MekinIey's Trip Will
Surpass Any Tour Ever Con-
ceIved on This Continent,

A. New York correspondent, writing
In the Philadelphia Times, of President
,McKinley's tour of the United States,
says:
The forthcoming trip of President
Mckinley to the Pacific coast, fashioned
after the regal spIendor of the inaugu-
ration, promises to surpass any tour
ever conceived upon this continent.
The gorgeousness Of the special train
will simply be an incident in success
sion of events which include military
parades. elaborate arches, speeches and
fireworks, professions and torches, and
everything that could mark the trium-
phal progress Of complete government
on wheels-white house on railway
track. as 1t were.
Carried across the continent as an
object lesson to the voter, such a spec
tacle, when projected as continuous
performance, may be instructive, and
again 1t may not. The late former
President Harrison's southern trip
served as preface to hts denomination
and his prologue, The Psctnc excursion,
