thony Demers, proprietor of a shoe
shining stand, confessed that he paid
$75 for Nicholas Demoggeor, Greek

lation of system OF child peonage fol-
lowed.

into slavery in this country. The pur-
chasers pay from $50 to SIS for a five
or six-year-old boy for the first year.
The second year the price is advanced

vance is made in the amount paid until
the boy is of age. Then the purchaser
must take his chances with his pur-
chase.

ganization which operates shoe polish
ing parlors in Kalarhaz Battle Creek,
jackson, South Bend. st. Joseph, Ben

five to eighteen years. The boys are
shown how to polish shoes and allowed
to pick UP what English they can.
There their education ends. Demog-
geor ran away on account of abuse.

He was a handsomely dressed young
fellow Of splendid physique. With him

BUILDING TO CEASE
Operations VIII Be Almost
Wholly Suspended In 1904.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 5.-Accord- :
Ing to we'll matured plans, not only of
the great railroad corporations of the
country, but of the larger investors OF
capital in building operations, there is
nkely to be a general cessation OF
building operations during 1904, which
will make that year memorable to the
trades interested. The statement of
one of the largest contracting con-
Germs In the country connected with
railroad construction work is the basis
for the assertion that at least $180,000,-
600 worth of building operations pro-
posed for 1904 have actually been CALI
ed on, and plans have been recalled
from architects and engineers.
1t is also said by the same authority
that so far as known there will be
nothing in the shape of new work un-
dertaken the coming year and when
the present contracts are completed a
period Of waiting will ensue. 1t will be
a waiting for the general labor situa-
ton to settle down and the end of the
factional wars and strikes that have
almost destroyed confidence In build
ing.

with them until there is more placid
condition of the labor market.
Information given out shows that in
New York alone there Is at least $780,
100000 Of new building for 1904 In
yolved in the general plan of with

troubles have been continuous for
months, 1t is said that more than $7O,-
100000 Of new work has been aban-
doned.

KIDNAPPED BOY

Francis Wilson Trails Little Son to a
Village in the Alps.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept. 5.-After
being trailed for five months through
various European countries and finally
located in an obscure village in the
Alps, three year-old Russell Wilson,
son of Francis Wilson, an actor. who
was kidnapped in Sioux City last March
by his mother, Mrs. June Wilson. an
actress. was brought back to Sioux
City today by his grandfather, George
r. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson, who was playing at
Minnea polls, came here in March, took
the child out for a stroll and did not
return. The grandfather and father,
whose stage name is Francis Sedg-
wick, followed her to London and
Brighton. England, then to Cologne,
Germany, back to London and then
again through many towns in Ger
many.
For weeks all trace of the fugitives
was lost Then the trail was found
again at st. Gall, Switzerland. From
there they were traced to Paris and
London and back to Zurich. Through a
family in st. Gall, who alone knew the
whereabouts of the child, a meeting
was arranged between husband and
wife, as result of which a detective
took charge of the child and started
back to America. Husband and wife
came on the same boat, but had moth
ing to do with each other. The search
cost the father $4,000.

Panama May Secede and Ne
gotiate independently.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 6. =
That the United States government has
no hope of favorable action by the Co
lombian congress on the Panama canal
treaty was made plain tonight when a
high official of the ft tie department
stated that the canal tceaty was prac-
tically dead, although the Colornbian
congress had until Sept. 21 to act ia
vorably on it. Official esv:ces received
here intimated that friends of the
treaty had no hope of favorable action
and hat left Bogota for their homes.
These advices show that the Panama
delegates had thoughts of advising
their government to secede from the
central government and take up nego-
tations Independently for the building
of the canal Although Panama does
not control the entire canal strip, the
intimation is that she has devised
means by which this may be accom-
plished.
