the Rock Island made other SURVEYS

CAUGHT AT RANDOM.

Yesterday was given up to amuse-
ment by the Elks. and they had differ
ent methods of getting il. j. y. Law,
one of the Portland, Ore, Elks, had
as original a plan as any one. He
wore $40 bill for a badge. and used
blow gun which he loaded with paper
roses, and those were blown at passing
women. There was burr on the flow
er which fastened it securely to a
shirt waist 1t was amusing TO see how
his roses were received. When he
stepped forward and blew at the VIC
tim he invariably received a look that
was cold enough to freeze cream. When
the woman discovered the flower cling
ing TO her shirt front the expression
changed and she invariably turned and
bestowed look of sweetness upon the
donor. Once he blew rose against a
Denver man and the decorated party
wanted to fight. When he discovered
the rose he offered 20 buy refreshments
for the crowd that was watching the
fun.

A woman and boy answering the de-
scription were living in that town, but
are now proved not to be the Evanston
runaways.
Hoping against hope and with the
heartbreaking sorrow crushing their
hearts, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers early last
December inserted an advertisement
in the newspapers calling upon the
missing boy and his aunt to come home
for Christmas and all would be for
given. All day Christmas they watched
for the return of the fugitives, and
during the night. a lamp was kept burn
ing brightly in the window of the home
on Human avenue to welcome their
return. The family felt sure that they
would come, but they were doomed
to disappointment
AS last effort to reach the missing
couple or secure information regard
ing them, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers have
resorted to the chain letter scheme.
Here is their plea for help:
Dear Friend-will you kindly help a
heartbroken father and two mothers
In an effort to find their loved ones by
ing them, over your own signature, to
three friends, making the same request Of
them, and so on, forming an endless chain.
Miss Florence A. Ely and nephew, Frank
Ely Rogers, disappeared from their home,
7l3 Human avenue, Evanston, ILL.,, July
Is, 1901. Nothing has been heard of them
since.
Miss Ely is 40 years of age. about five
feet three inches in height, very thin and
weighs from 50 to 100 pounds; face rather
long and very expressive; dark brown
hair; large dark brown eyes, with an In
tense expression, are her most noticeable
feature; good music teacher; attractive to
children.
Frank f. Rogers will be IA years of age
in March, 1902. Height about five feet two
inches; weight about so pounds; medium
brown hair. gray blue eyes, long. slender
hands, is left handed, writes with either
right or left; draws well, always using left
hand. Only love and glad welcome await
them both. A large reward will be cheer
fully given for information leading direct
ly to the restoration of either or both.
Printed letters with pictures will be sent
upon request. Send all information TO
JAMES c. ROGERS.
7ls Human avenue, Evanston, ILL.,
AS these letters, by the aid of SYM
pathetic and kind people, go broad
cast over the country in ever widening
circle and reach perhaps every nook
and corner of the United States, the
result sought for may be attained and
mystery cleared up which in some
respects is one of the most puzzling
ever coming to the notice of the po-
lice. If Frank Rogers and Miss Ely are
alive, how has it been possible to elude
the shrewdest detectives of the coun-
try? IL dead, what has become of their
bodies and why have they not been
discovered? If they have left the coun-
try, where have they secured the
means for so long an absence and so
extended a trip? These are some Of
the questions one is led to ask in con-
sidering the case, and which may never
be answered this side the grave.

KILLING OF THE CHINCHILLA
Fur Dealers In This Country Are
Deeply Interested I'm It's Danger
of determination.

Fur dealers are much interested in
the news from Chilli that the chin
chilla has almost been eXterminated
by fur hunters and that stringent
measures will have to be applied to
prevent the extinction of the animal
there. In spite of laws for its pro-
lection i'm Bolivia, the chinchilla has
almost entirely disappeared from
that republic, and furriers fear that
it may disappear in Chill as well, re-
ports the Now York Sun.
According to customs reports the
number of the animals killed in Chilli
has increased greatly in recent years.
The number of chinchilla pelts ex-
ported in 100 was 300, more than
double the exports of 1898.
A scier tific society in Chilli has al
ready drafted law forbidding the
hunting of the chinchilla for four or
five years in certain regions, and al
lowing hunting elsewhere for only
half the year. 1t also forbids the use
of firearms, dogs, fire and, in fact,
everything except traps.
The fur dealers expect that the
law will be enacted and predict that
the price of chinchilla fur will soon
be very much higher.

TALKING AT SEA.
Two Ocean Liners Crossing In op-
posite Directions Use the
wireless Method.

The marvels of wireless telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use of the system not sufficiently won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
vet the incident reported by Cham
bers' Journal is one which appeals to
the Imagination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, were crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each,
knowing the date of the others sail
ing, could make calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet. When the hour came the vessels
were too far apart to sight each other.
Presently, however, the warning bell
of the wireless Geographic apparatus
in the Campania tinkled, and the mes
sage was spelled out: "Are you there?
-Lucania." And then the two vessels,
still invisible to each other, and, as it
was found, SO miles apart, talked for
some hours, exchanging experiences
as to the weather, and finally parting
with the word ''good-by" when they
were 40 miles asunder.
Such a conversation carried on be-
tween vessels in the open ocean, sep
arated by such vast stretch of wa
ter and out of sight of each other, is
an impressive illustration of what
wireless telegraphy means.
