If you want to laugh go to Manager
opera house next Monday. Sept. 80. ev-
ening, when Geo. Blossoms successful
comedy will be the attraction. In com
menting on their appearance in Des
Moines lately. the Iowa Daily Capital
says; 1.-TWO Married Men were on
exhibition at the Grand last evening
and the view proved very satisfactory
to the large audience present. This
bright farce comedy of Geo. R. EIDE,
sons came here last season unherald,
ed and unknown, comparatively, but it
took well and its success was dupli.
Gated last evening. While the first
two acts are not b%oisterous. the third
act makes up for any slow eating of
its predecessors. and the specialties
introduced through the evening add
life and gaiety to the play. The dane
ing of the Myers sisters is especially
creditable. 1.-TWO Married Men is a
diverting effort in fun-making and took
well last evening. It is to laugh and
its object is well attained. 1.-TWO Mar
ried Men" isthe bill at the Grand again
this evening and it will doubtless draw
another full house.

LONG LOST CHARLIE ROSS
Has Been Heard From-Reported
to Have Been Drowned.
SENATOR MAKES DISCLOSURES
Twenty Four Indictments Were Returned
by the st. Louis Grand Jury-Mur-
derers of Jennie Bosschieter are now
on Trial at Patterson, n. j..
Charlie Ross was Drowned.

After nearly 30 years of impenetra-
BILE mystery in the case of Charlie Ross,
during which time fortunes have been
spent and continents have been
searched in vain efforts to find the
stolen boy, or to learn his fate, reve-
lation has been made of many of the
most important facts in the case.
These disclosures have come from
Senator Plunkitt, member of the
state legislature from New York city,
who says he has secured information
never before made public. 1.-The alb
ductors of Charlie Ross" says the SEN
ator, 'were two New York river
thieves, one of them named Mosher.
The wagon in which Ross was carried
away was driven about 30 miles out of
Philadelphia and there abandoned,
Mosher and his companion, accom-
panied by their victim, taking passage
on the train to New York Upon ar
irving at New York Ross was taken on
board one of Mosher's river craft, and
finally, to prevent detection, Charlie
was thrown overheard in the bay, after
having been tied to iron so as to make
it impossible for his body to rise TO the
surface. When Mosher was shot while
attempting to rob the Van Brunt man
sion at Bay Ridge, several months after
the kidnap ng, he attempted to ex-
plain the Charlie Ross affair, but
death came as soon as the name passed
his lips. l know my statement is cor
rect" asserts Plunkitt, because got
it from a supreme court Judge" The
senator would not name the Judge, but
it is known that he referred to Judge
Van Brunt, who successfully resisted
an attempt to rob his house by shoot
ing Mosher and his pal.

struggle, paying high tribute to the
work of Aguinaldo and his co-adjutors
in their endeavor to obtain liberty and
independence. Reference was made to
some of the events of the present revo-
luton against American authority,
urging that the American troops had
failed to make a serious impression

From n Small DarinnIrx.

, Some interesting facts regarding sAs
coffee tree have been printed recently.
The native home of this plant Is said
to be Kaffra, in southern Abyssinia.
1t was not until 1t had been in use for
centuries by the Arabians that a plant
was carried to Java. In 1706 a tree
from Java was sent to Amsterdam,
and when 1t lowered and ripened seeds
a young Seeding was presented to
Louis XIV. From this plant seedlings
were sent to Martinique, and from
these plants again seedlings were sent
to Jamaica, Cayenne and San Domin-
go; while from Amsterdam plants
were sent to Surinam. In fact, 1t was
from the one plant,sent from Java in
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury by Governor General Van Hoora,
that everything in the French posses
sions and West Indies sprang. In this
way has travelled the progeny Of the
original coffee plant, introduced from
Arabia at the end of the seventeetb
century.
