Governor A. B. Cumniins was among
the number invited to the millionaire
wedding at Cleveland last Wednesday,
but he chose rather to attend picnic

Omccrs Informed and Girl Returned
60 Her Father, While Young
Man t. Given Into Custody
of Kansas Omcers.

TRENTON, Neb., Jan. 15.-(special Tele-
gram 1.-THE blowing Of a cold wind did
not deter George Franklin, age 90, of Blake
man, Kan, from attempting to abduct
Miss Pearl Smith, age Il. Of the Same
place and take an all nights ride with
the intention OF forcing a marriage. The
girls story is that Franklin had been a
sutton but was turned down and everything
supposed to be satisfactory. but while she
was going nome from school Franklin over
took her, pessuading her to get in his
buggy and he would take her home. She
consented with reluctance. and no sooner
had she seated herself than he turned his
team in an opposite direction. The fright
ened girl attempted to escape, but was
held and told they were going to Trenton
and be married.
No heed was paid to the pleas OF the girl.
There was no further attempt to escape.
Dawn had broken when they arrived at the
hotel. There franklin supposed the girl
was arranging her toilet, but was in real
ity planning an escape, which was perfected
shortly after their arrival. Miss Smith
escaped through a back door and went to
the home of MIR. and Mrs. H.. B. Bosser-
man, nearby, telling her story and asking
for protection. The girl was nearly over
come by her experience.
Sheriff Brown was notified and took
Franklin into custody and notified the
Rawlins county sheriff. The father came
for his daughter and Constable Hurst took
young Franklin to the state line and de-
livered him to the Kansas officer. Franklin
does not seem to realize the seriousness Of
the offense IL It is pushed.

YORK FOR TAXATION REFORM
Instances Cited of Ridiculous As
sessment on Farm
Lands. o

YORK, Neb., Jan. 15.-(SpeciaL)-There
is considerable interest being taken here
in tax reform, and the members of the
legislature sent from here are asked by
tax reformers to assist in passing a revenue
law that will not only be a reform over
the present law. but will tax all property
at its just and equitable value. York
county has had the same experience as
other counties in the state. A short time
ago a farm in Bradshaw township sold for
SIS per acre cash, and at a meeting of the
assessors of York county held before they
made the 1902 assessment they agreed TO
assess land situate in the four townships
surrounding York at 81 per acre for Guilt
waited land and SO per acre for cultivated
land In all the other townships, which
made the assessed valuation OF the $50
acres in Bradshaw township only SO per
acre for land that sold at SIS per acre. It
u the general opinion that laws can be
passed that will assess all real property
at its value. and a majority advocates that
assessments of personal property be pub
lished in the county paper, as that will be
the only way to secure the value OF personal
property. as more of II is hid from the as
SCISSOR than any other class of property,
and IL personal assessment is published it
is believed that nearly every dollar of per-
sonal assessment will be listed.

 "The Institute has been power in Ala hama for many years, and is today more uromising than ever before. It has htted many young men both in this State, and others, for the duties of useful lives In doing this, certain courses of instruction have been emphasized-such as engineer ang. mining, mechanics, and the like, all of which are Important, and should 'not' under any circumstances, be neglected. Nevertheless there is one thing. in connec- tion with the institute, which IS very needfui. and that is a''Textile Depart
 
 of the State is interested in mining and manufacturing iron and steel while every county in the State produces more or less cotton, thereby making all the people interested in the manufacture or cotton into thread and cloth. If the boys of Alabama, or a reasonable per cent of them, were instructed In textile work' it would tend greatly to promote the manufacture of cotton goods, thus in creasing the value of one of the prime products of the State. and so-benehttins larger number of people than any one thing.
