MEN AND CATTLE GONE.
An Unaccountable Disappearance Is
Pulling Everybody at Langdon.

of Langdon, in this county, are consid-
erably exercised over the mysterious
disappearance of a young man, Joe Har-
riman of that place.
Hartman was herding a bunch of
cattle belonging to himself and his
brother near Greensburg, Kiowa county.
Unable to get a reply to the letters he
had written to him, his brother went to
Kiowa county to see him. He could
find trace either of the young man
or the cattle. Tt is feared that he has
been murdered and his cattle stolen by
cattle thieves. The WoodTnen lodge, of
which he was a member. has organized
a searching party to trace him if pos
sible and to find the cattle if they are
anywhere in the southwestern part of
the state It was several weeks after
his brother failed to hear from him be-
fore inquiry was made, and this makes
the search difficult one.

"TIMES" COMPLAINS.
Because Americans Are Getting Away
 With Valuable Old Books.

London, July 7.-The Times this morning publishes special article ask ing whether nothing can be done to stop the continuous wholesale eXporta- tion of rare and early printed books and illuminated manuscripts to the United States. The article describes another fine collection of books and manuscripts which has just been pur1 chased by an American who does not wish his name to be disclosed.
 This library consists of seven hun- dred items. each of the highest inter est and value. 1t was formed to exem- plify the origin and development or early illustrated books and includes thirty-two fine examples from the Cax- ton press and the very choicest manu- scripts and printed books from the ia.e William Morris's fine library, in addl- tion to hundreds of other choice ex- amples for which the collector of theli- brary secured Europe for many years. The formation of another such collec- ton. says the Times. is scarcely within the range of possibility.

The postponement of the coronation apparently had dis tinctly bad effect on trade, and no re- yival is anticipated for some time.
 It has been decided to bring into London to keep the streets clear on the occasion of Lord Kitchener's home coming next Friday or Saturday five hundred cavalry and ten thousand in- fantry, exclusive of the garrison i'll London and the troops from Windsor and at Hounslow, the whole making a total of more than 15,000 men. The colonial troops who came home from South Africa in the Bavarian are to be retained until after Lord Kitchener's arrival, and will, it is understood have a place in the generals reception in which Indian and other colonial troops also may participate.

THE TROLLEY VICTIMS.
Some of the Injured Are In a Very
 Critical Condition.

Gloversville, N. Y., July 1.-The con dition of those injured in the trolley accident on Friday night was favor able to-day except that Edward SchelJ, George Fischer and City Recorder Wood are still in danger of death. Schell's is the most severe case, as his abdomen was torn open and filled with splinters of wood from broken car seat and his flesh at the thighs was cut as though with an axe. There is lit tie hope of his recovery. George Fischer's skull Is fractured and he is deIerious. Recorder Wood was not attended by physician until F hours after the accident and the loss of blood left him very weak. If 1t should be necessary to amputate his leg there is fear that the shock might kill him. Benjamin Rice. whose head was smashed and both legs broken. is doing fairly well. In many private houses about the city new cases of injured people are reported and i'll several in stances victims who were taken home did not have broken limbs set until Sunday, doctors and nurses being com pletely exhausted by the labors of Fri- day night.

States Attorney Relieves He NOW can
 Have Wife of Professor Indicted.
 South Bend. Ind, July 7.-The evil dence against Mrs Austin O'Malley is growing stronger rapidly. States At torney George 0. Clarke now Is of the opinion that sufficient evidence has been gathered to warrant the indict- ment of Mrs O'N.alley for higher crime. The evidence which Mir Clarke has ob- tained appears to be even more sur prising than that which came to light earlier.
 Tn company with Frank O'Malley, the artist and brother of Prof O'Malley, Clarke went to the Sullivan residence on North Taylor street and in searching the rooms used by Prof and Mrs O'Mal- ley. he found letters, 1t is alleged, which caused the states attorney to believe that Mrs O'Malley had been married before she became the wife of the Notre Dame professor. As States Attorney Clarke refuses to talk, the name of the man who is supposed to have been her first husband cannot be learned. He probably is a San Fran cisco man.
 Whether or not Mrs O'Malley was a twice welded woman, 1t $ certain that since she married Prof O'Malley she corresponded with several men, and let ters from them are said to be held by MT Clarke. Letters which Mrs O'Mal- ley wrote to Hearin, but which were not mailed, also were found. All of these were written since April. She was married March 10, but when ad- dressing Hearin she used such terms as 'My own and My all.'
 IN. A.Iix, tXrf rs Hearin met Alrs O'Malley in South bend there are said to be letters writ ten by Hearin while he was in New York arranging for his visit.
