EARLY Political Platforms.
1t Is in the seventeenth century that
the first beginnings of the platform
must be sought. but these early traces
of its use are very slight. That there
must have been some little employ

inferred from the Characters" Of But
Ter, the author of the ever memorable
''Hudibras." He describes "a leader

He is like a figure in arithmetic-the
more ciphers he stands before the more
his value amounts to. He is a great
haranguer. talks himself into author

One of the most remarkable cities in
the world is Kelburg, near Cracow,
Poland, for, besides being situated
underground, it is excavated entirely
in rock salt. Most of the inha bitants
work in the famous salt mines, and all
the streets and houses are of the purest
white imaginable. One of the most
famous features of the city is the cathe-
dral, carved i'll salt and lighted by
electricity, and when the late Car
Alexander visited it he was so fasci-
mated with the magnificent effect of
the light upon the crystal walls that
he presented the cathedral with Jew
eled altar cross. Such a thing as in
fictitious disease is unknown in KEEL

WEIRD TALE OF WILD MAN.


Perryville. KY, Oct. 9-Some hun.
ters discovered a wild man ten miles
South of here on Chaplin river, and the
facts which led to this condition OF
member of former prominent citizen
are interesting as well as pathetic.
Some sixty years ago Elias Ford and
family. consisting Of his wife and six
children, came from New Hampshire
to Washington county, and located.
and the husband and father engaged
in the manufacture Of brooms and
chairs. From the beginning he pros
pered, and his family was a happy
one, and stood well in the surround.
ing community. Fever ragged in cpl
demic form in that section about the
beginning he prospered, and his fami-
ly all died with the exception of the
father and youngest child, which was
q son seven or eight years Of age.
This terrible calamity took all the
money OF the family and almost drove
Ford to distraction. He began to
drink, and during his sprees would
terrorize the neighborhood and beat
his son numerically. The boy one
day cut the front portion of his right
foot off while playing with Ratchet,
and while he was in this condition
his father would make him work and
cuffed him about severely. After re-
turning from protrscted spree some
days before the battle OF Perryville
Ford found his son missing from
home. He made vain search of the
surrounding country for him. His
neighbors joined in the search, and it
was finally concluded that he had been
devoured by the wolves as several
were known TO have been in that COM
munity.
But the hunters made a discovery
which throws light on the mysterious
disappearance Of the Ford boy. At
the entrance of huge cave on Chap
lin river, ten miles south of here, they
observed the footprints of a man, aud
more distinctly that . portion of one
OF his feet was gone. They followed
the tracks two or three hundred yards
into the cave and were startled to find
a man, having the appearance OF being
about sixty years Of age, in desper-
ately wild condition. After gazing at
the hunters few moments, be darted
into one of the dark passages and was
seen no more. For years farmers re-
siding in that section have mysterious
ly lost sheep. hogs and chickens. The
older residents are satisfied that the
wild man is the missing son of Elias
Ford.
A party will visit the cave shortly
and make an effort to catch the wild
man.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. $50 firmly
convinced is william Parker OF San
Antonio, that william Vond Hodge Of
Galveston. is the lost Charley Ross
that he says he would wager his home
on tho identity. He knew the Ross
family we'll, and came here to see Won
Hodge. The general description as
given him by the Ross family tallies
so closely with Won Hodge that he
says he is almost positive that the
long sought boy still lives.
The theory advanced and accepted
generally that the Ross Lad died while
in captivity is rot accepted by Parker.
who declares he always believed the
boy was given in charge Of some ire
sponsible person by his abductors and
slipped from their power.
Greater interest 10 added to the az
fair by Captain George Smith Of Gal
weston. who is an intimate friend OF
the Ross family. He returned from a
trip up the state aud called upon Won
Hodge. Captain Smith had visited at
the Ross homestead many, years before
after the disappe aranoe of Charley,
and had frequently had members of
the family guests on his ship when he
followed the sea. After an interview
with the young man, Captain Smith
said he really did not know what to
think. He declared the boy not only
resembles the lost child, but that he
detected . similarity in the voice. and
was almost tempted to declare him to
be the missing boy.
He says he hopes to be in possession
of authoritative information In few
days which will permit me to positive
ly identify the young man il he be
Charley Ross. The story of his life
as he remembers it appears possible
and plausible. +"
