no school, she made 3 trip to tho gym
nasium to take her usual exercises.
For the. last month she had been pass
ing q strange woman Just near the

strange effect upon her. The woman
had piercing black eyes and the girl
says they had an extraordinary effect
on her. Tuesday the strange woman
approached her and told her. In q very
commanding way, to pack her clothes
and follow her. In half dazed state,
and acting under the hypnotic spell,
the girl made the trip back to her
home and, without seeing any OF the
family, packed her clothing and die
as the woman had bid. Ehe had ar
ranged to meet the girl at q certain
place and when Miss Coffin arrived on
her return there was o strange man In
company with the woman. When the
train reached Cedar Rapids Miss Comm
had recovered her senses and slipped
out and sent telegram to Postmaster
Grow, who Is q nephew OF her father
asking him to meet her. Meantime
her captors had left the car. Post
master Grow met the girl as she dis
mounted the midnight train on the
Northwestern. Az soon as Miss Cof-
I'm saw Mr.. Crow she recognized him
and fell into his arms, Frustrated. He
assisted the young lady. who is almost

and placed her under the care OF q
physician. Miss CONN IL confined to
her bed and is in a very critical condi-
ton.
No trace has been found Of the mys-
FERROUS man or woman and the only
supposed motive is that they expected
to abduct the girl and hold her Tor
ransom.

however, that the letter to Mrs. Ben

but he expressly disclaims any inten-
ton to decide whether or not the
twelfth section can hereafter be held
operative in establishing . trust; he
says that the construction Of the win
Is not In question at the time Of the
probate. The court in effect declares
that the beQuest would have been

THE IRISH LAND BILL.
a Days Reflection Has Not Modified the
First Favorable Opinions Expressed
Of the Measure.

London, March 27.--Mr. Wyndham
has no cause to be dissatisfied with
the reception so far given to the
Irish land hill. A days reflection
has not modified the first favorable
opinions expressed. Perhaps the
strongest indications of opposition
yet evinced have come from the Ul-
'ster landlords, the majority of whom
are said to be unlikely to sell their
estates. Generally speaking the ma
tionalists heartily welcome the bill,
not because they regard it as per-
feet, but because it gives ministerial
sanction to the principle of state aid
in the shape Of the bonus provided
for under the bill and because it is
held to contain the germs Of future
measure Of self-government for Ire
land.
