Tntal both districts. 1886

John Emmeluth has sent for copies
of a primary law. This morning he de-
clared that the Home Rulers had all
voted as numerously in the primaries
as the Republicans, and that he didn't
approve of such politics. I'm the Sew
enth Precinct of the Fifth District
said Emmeluth. the highest Republic
can vote for Senator in 1900 was 81
votes cast for Warehouse. Now there
are 494 Republican votes in the precinct
according to the vote on Saturday.
IF the showing was correct the Re
publican party wouldn't need to carry
on any campaign. All the Republicans
have to do is to lay back and vote their
men, for they have won already But
everyone knows that the contending
faction voted men of all parties"
Meheula, secretary of the house, eX-
pressed the same opinion. He thought
the primaries didn't show anything.
Incidentally the secretary made an in
teresting comment, which may have
been meant for sarcasm, on district
where the successful candidates in

crat and a supposed Home Ruler

Tie most notable and inexplicable
case OF mysterious disappearance dur

Ely Rogers. boy of fourteen. who dis
appeared from his home in Evanston.
III. He was accompanied by his aunt.
Miss Florence Ely. Since their disap-

them have been futile.
Until last July Miss Ely had been a

a man OF ability and some means.
When Frank was born, fourteen
years ago. Miss Ely idolized the baby.
She loved him as If she were mis- moth
er, and it was her delight to care for
and amuse him. As he grew into boy
hood her affection kept pace with his
growth. The care of the boy took
precedence of all else in her mind.
AS the boy grew older and her alb
sorption in him increased she gave up
nearly all her social duties She wish
ed TO devote her entire time to her
nephew.
On the morning of July 13. Frank
left home ostensibly to attend a picnic
in the woods near town. He said good
by cheerfully to his mother and his
grandmother. the aged Mrs. Ely, and

slighted his aunt, as it is now remem-
bered. By persistent search their move
ments for an hour or SO after they left
the house have been trf ceG.
The boy walked by a circuitous route
to the station of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad. There Miss
Ely met him in about half an hour.
She had left a satchel at the station
the day before and on this morning
she got the satchel from Station Agent
Lang. She emptied the contents of a
box that she carried into the satchel
and threw the box awa".

and the two walked out of the depot
They took northbound electric car
which runs from Chicago to Milwau-
kee, and that was the last time they
were seen in Evanston.
1t was not until Dec. % la5t that a
bundle OF clothing belonging to Miss
Ely and Frank Rogers was found un-
der the Central street station of the
Milwaukee and St Paul railroad in
North Evanston.
By this the police surmise that the
pair stopped at the station and changed
clothing, the boy possibly Disgusting

behind-and Miss Ely Transforming g
herself into an older and shabbily
dressed woman.

followed, but not one has led to a re-

Mr.. Rogers has spared neither time
nor money in the search. He has en-
ployed private detectives, and the po-
lice force of every city and town in the
country has been warned to keep on
the alert.
Early in December last Mr. and Mrs.
Rogers inserted an advertisement in
the newspapers calling upon them
to come home Christmas and all
would be forgiven. All Christmas night

the window of the house on Hinman

fugitives would return. Their hopes

Smith yesterday in recounting the pro-

In Peru progress went slowly. so that
there was little to choose between the
civilization of the Incastic period and
that of this earliest time, but Egypt
gave her light to other nations, who
carried it on.
The Peruvians have vanished with

many, has come and ruled through
centuries and died out; their heroes
have compelled men and gathered

Mr.. Claude Phillips. well known

the great Wallace collection at Hert-

in the Nineteenth Century and After
for March on the rapid disappearance
from Great Britain OF the art treas
ures which ~ fair or other means
have been accumulated by British
wealth. He begins his article on The
Increasing Export of England's Art
Treasures with the statement that
"for the last twenty years or more the
gains of England in masterpieces of
painting and in works OF art generally
have been greatly overbalanced by her
losses" Collectors from all parts Of
Europe. more particularly the Berlin
gallery, have outbid Englishmen at
auctions and at private sales.
Furthermore, a growing and greater
danger threaters the British hold on
its works of art. the competition OF
Americans as buyers. IF the flow OF
works of art westward is as yet a
moderate though already menacing
stream, it threatens soon to become a
cataract. then mighty river. then an
