Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 9.-Ffannk Bass
Frazier, Of Union Springs, Als., q
nineteen year old student of the.
Technological school, was kidnap q
last Saturday afternoon. He was
taken in 4 stupefied cond tion to Kan
sas City and is now held there by bis
abduotors, for ransom. The only clew
to the perpetrators of tha crime ia
furnished in q letter mailed from
Memphis aud addressed to the father
Of the stolen boy, Captain N H Frazer.
Bass Frazer was last sesn by his two
roommates-Robert J. McCuen, an
assistant Instructor in the textile
department of the Psychological
school, and A, L. Cartsr-at their
boarding house at 405 Spring street,
This was shortly before 2 O'clock last
Saturday afternoon. Young Frazer
said then that he was going down town
to mail . letter.
From the time he left theiF room and
walking downstairs closed the frout
door behind him, not the slighteat trace
OF his subsequent movements can be

known is the meager information
impaired in the letter sent by the
perpetrators Of the dastardly crImc to
the lads father,
This letter stated that young Frazer
was being carried to Kansas City. Up
to al early hour this morning the
police Of that city had been unable to
secure any olsw as to the kidnapers'
identity.

seems entirely lacking Captain N.

At 6 O'Clock last Monday afternoon,
eapt, N. II. Frazer, received the letter
which explained the uDuaual absence
Of his son from Atlanta.

at Union Springs, Ala. by Capt. N.
q. Frazer, is as follows:
Dear Sir: As kidnapping is all the
rage nowadays, we have stolen your

Christmas, but could never get .
chance. We don't know your financial
standing, as your son refuses to tell US,
and We only found SIS on his person.
He is boy way above the average,
and we mead him in our business, so
we intsnd to keep him, but you might
send letter to jim Glacer, general

that city by the time this reaches you,
stating how much you will give for his
return, and IL the amount mests3with
my approval, 1 will writeIyou more
aboat it.
Do not notify any official authorities,
as 1t won't dc any good and would ruin
all your chances Of getting him. We
will allow him to sign; his name, to
prove to you we are not Joking. We
have him in supplied condition and
we are carrying him as a sick person
and our younger brother.
BASS FRAZER,
The letter is in pencil throughout.
while the signature OF "Bass Frazier"
is done in purple ink. The name or
names of the abductors do not appear at
the end OF the communication and the
only name lending the slightest clue to
the identity of the men is that of "Jim

medlary at Kansss City between the
kidnappers and the family of.the kid,

SIGNATURE Is GENUINE.
As to the genuineness of the signat-
ure "Bass Frazer" there Is said to be
not the slightest doubt. The father
and mother of the boy, together with
his two brothers at Union Springs,
identified it at once as the signature of

Upon the Pension Commissioner
Reclamation of Arid Lands.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The report Of
E. A. Hitchcock, secretary of the in
terror, indorses the work and recon-
mendation of Commissioner of PEN
sions Evans and says that the veter-
ans have no more sincere friend than
their comrade, their commissioner,
"who has served as an enlisted man
in the armies of the United States
and he but maintains and defends the
honor of their patriotic service when.
refusing to ignore both the letter and
spirit of the law. he declines to per-
init the impostor, whether claimant
or agent, to share in the bounty pro-
vided for the veterans and those de-
pendent upon him"
On the question Of reclamation Of
the arid region, the secretary says:
"The Investigations which have been
carried on demonstrate that there il
no one question now before the peo-
pie of the United States of greater
Importance than the conservation Of
the water supply and the reclamation
of the arid lands of the west and
their settlement by men who will
actually build homes and create COM
munities."

COMMON Law MARRIAGES.
The United States Court of Appeals Holds
That They Are Legal In Breach
of Promise Suit.

st. Louis, Nov. 26.-The United
States court of appeals, in reversing
the decisions Of the United States
district court of the Indian territory
and the Indian territory court OF ap-
peals, which were in favor of Rose
Pryor, who sued Samuel T. Davis, q
wealthy merchant of the Cherokee
nation, for alleged breach Of promise,
decided yesterday that common law
marriages are legal.
In delivering the opinion Of the APP
pellate court Judge Adams said:
Marriage is a civil contract and
may be made by any persons Of diff
ferent sexes competent to make such
contracts. While commonly entered
into with some ceremony, either civil
or religious, it may be contaminated
without any ceremony. If man and
woman, in good faith, agree to be-
come husband and wife, and this
agreement is followed by q consist
emit and notorious cohabitation, the
relation of husband and wife is law
fully established"

New York, Nov. '27.-Rev. Herman
d. Van Broeckhuysen, Boer preach
er, addressed meeting of Boer SYM
pathizers here last night. He de-
clared the Beers would never surren-
der and then devoted most of the
remainder of his talk to description
of the concentration camps. He said:
"There are "a of these camps along
the line of the railroad. They &c
surrounded with barbed wire fences
ten feet high and outside of these
fences armed british soldiers are on
guard. The women and children sleep
on the bare ground, in tents or open
barracks. They are allowed one-half
pound of meat, one-quarter Of an
ounce of coffee, two ounces of sugar
and little salt every day. They are
practically living skeletons. In En-
gland and Wales the average death
rate is IS in 1000. In these camps in
South Africa the death rate was 264
in 1000, while the death rate among
the children was 433 in 1000. Unless
some remedy is effected there will be
no children left"

HEAlREsHLY, CRITICISED
Objection to Granting Widow of Elk
President Harrison q Pension.
she Was Not the wife Of President. but
OF AN Ex-President. and Was Never
Mistress OF the white

Washington, Nov. 27.-Bills pro-
viding pensions of $1,000 annually for
the widows of two presidents of the
United States are expected to be in
troduced in the senate on the first
day of congress. One, which will I'M
doubtedly be handled by Senator
Mark A. Hanna, provides for pen
sion for Mrs. Mckinley. The other
authorizes the payment of n pension
to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. The ac-
ton Of Mrs. Harrison's friends in ask
ing that she be paid pension has
been the cause of great deal of quiet
comment and criticism among those
who have learned of it. There are
some unusual features to the case.
In the first place, Mrs. Harrison was
not the wife of a president, but OF an
eX-president. Mr.. Harrison and Mrs.
Dimmick were not married until after
the formers term of office had eX-
pired. All the wives of presidents
who drew pensions from the United
States actually served as mistress OF
the white house.
The friends of the measure pro-
viding for Mrs. McKinley's pension as
sert that the Harrison pension bill is
being attached to that of Mrs. Nc
Kinley for the purpose of getting it
through congress without opposition.
Reports come from indianapolis that
the children of Mr.. Harrison by his
first wife will oppose the granting OF
the pension. 1t is said that Russell
b. Harrison has threatened to appear
before the senate committee on PEN
sions and inform that body that he
knows his father, if possible, would
,disapprove of any such move.

KANSAS LAW INVALID.
United States Supreme Court Knocks Out
the Statute Regulating Charges Mt
the Stock Yards.

Washington, Nov. 26.-In the Unit
ed States supreme court Monday an
opinion was handed down in the case
of Getting and Higinson against A. A.
GODDARD, attorney general of Kansas
and the Kansas City Stock Yards
company, involving the validity of the
state law of Kansas empowering the
state authorities to fix rates Of
charges on stock in all stock yards in
that state. The decree of the circuit
court which upheld the law was re-
versed. The opinion was written by
Justice Brewer.
The Kansas law was passed in Feb
ruary, 1897. 1t was during the Leedy
administration in Kansas and at the
time the populists controlled both
houses of the legislature. It was their
theory that the stock yards company,
although existing without q franchise
granted by the state or any other au-
thority, was in reality public serv-
ice corporation, subject to regula-
ton of rates, the same as q railroad

Tuberculosis Test of Imported Cattle
Great Activity Hss> Marked the Intro
duction of Seeds and Plants
from Abroad.

Washington, Nov. 26.--In the an
nual report of the secretary of agri-
culture, made public yesterday, con-
siderable space is given in it to the
inspections Of imported and exported
meats by the bureau of animal indus
try. The secretary states: "Out of a
total Of $4,000 cattle exported, there
were inspected, marked with numbers
for Identification and certified $4,000.
The remainder were shipped in small
lots from ports where no inspection
is maintained and to countries which
do not require inspection.
"The number Of sheep exported
reached about $4,000 head, and of
these 22S,O0O were inspected before
shipment. The horses and mules con-
stituted the second largest item in
the exports of live animals, the num-
Der being 116,500, and the value about
$s,900,000. OF these nearly $4,000 were
inspected and certified.
1.-THE reported increase of bovine
tuberculosis in most countries and
the losses already sustained from the
disease in the United States led me
to make an order requiring tuber-
culin test of cattle imported for
breeding or dairy purposes. The ap-
plication of this test has detected a
sufficient number of diseased animals
to fully justify its adoption"
The secretary says that great activ-
ity has characterized the introduction
of valuable seeds and plants from
abroad. In regard to the congress
sional seed distribution it has been
arranged to send out cotton seed, to-
bacco seed, sorghum seed, .sugar-beet
seed, grasses and forage plants.

seven men are dead, five of them I'M
identified, and so terribly burned and
blackened that Identification is al
most impossible, and "a other men
are lying in the various hospitals of
the city suffering from cuts and burns
and other injuries, all resulting from

or more of the employees who suf-
fered comparatively slight injuries
were taken directly to their homes.
Fifteen men and boys have not
as yet been located either at their
homes or ut the hospitals. The five
unidentified bodies account for five
of these, and the officers of the COM
pany say they feel positive that the
major portion of the remaining 10
are at their homes.
