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
heartbreal1ing 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 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-WiH you kindly help
heartbroken father and two mothers
in an effort to find their loved ones by
writing three copies Of this letter and send
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,
713 Human avenue, Evanston, Ill, July
Ii, 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 80 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
fea ture: good music teacher; attractive to
children.
Frank E. 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. large reward will be cheer
fully given for information leading direct
iy to the restoration of either or both.
Printed letters with pictures will be sent
upon request. Send all information to
JAMES c. ROGERS.
71S Human avenue, Evanston. III.
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
a mystery cleared up which in some
respects is one of the most pulling
ever coming to the notice of the po-
lice. If Frank Rogers and Miss Ely are
alive, how has it been possible to eIude
the shrewdest detectives of the coun-
try? If 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-
sideTing the case, and which may never
! be answered this side the grave.

railroad facility enjoyed by any
either city or town in the state and,
as the Progress stated once before,
there is no possible chance for total
failure of a crop on account of a
drouth. as we have the greatest
abundance of watel, equal to flow
of three hundred gallons to the min
ute. within three hundred feet of the
surface of the earth. One well will
furnish all the water one would need
for irrigation purposes.
The development of this section OF
the state has just begun. The lands
in twenty or thirty years will be
partly stripped of the long leaf pine
when the ground now covered by
some of the sawmill plants will grow
cabbage like headblocks. But the inn

of the north and northwest-will not

The Clarksdale Challenge, which
is edited by a woman, is inclined to
the opinion that the preacher who
recently married IN Claiborne
county, though he had six living
wives. should be treated like other
brutes''-in other words he should be
hanged. It would appear to. the
outside world that a man with seven
wives, and three of them redheaded,
would be suffering a great deal OF
punishment already and that hang
ing would be kind of relief. But
we shall not argue the question with
the editress of the Challenge-not
a little bit.

at Purvis he imposed fine of twelve

three cases for selling whiskey With

There is too much low-down steal
ing in high places in Mississippi and
it should be stopped. The treasurer
of the state violated the law by loan
ing out the states money for the
purpose of replenIshing his own
purse. He was not even tried for the
crime. The county treasurer of
Sharkey county is short nearly thirty
thousand dollars and the probability
is that he VIII never be prosecuted.
And now the president of the board
of supervisors of Tallahatchie has
been caught running a blind tiger.
The thing seems to be getting des-
perate and 1t is about time the treas
urers were being hanged occasional

free. If the blind tiger man makes
some one drunk he can get sober
again, provided the whiskey does
not kill him, but the people are TAX
ing great risk in getting theii
money back when stolen by treas
