A reproduction of Lulu Hurst, the
Georgia magnetic wonder" of some
few years ago, seems to have been dis
covered at Port Jervis, n. Y, in the
person of a little girl of - of the name
of Stella Lundelius. She is a frail and
nervous child, weighing siXty-five
pounds, nevertheless four strong men,
acting together, have found it impos-
sible to raise her from the floor against
her will. A touch of her hand upon
the hand of strong man seems to rob
him of all his strength. BY opposition,
when she places her hand upon heavy
object, such as a piano. it can be easily
moved by person of no great
strength. Another feature of her
strange power is that she can control
pain in Others. Limbs stiffened with
rheumatism become supple under the
slightest manipulations of her small
hands, and a, few passes of her fin
gers over the forehead will cure a VIC
lent headache. These, at all events,
are the claims that are made for her
If they are true, she is a remarka BILE
child.

Work has already commenced on the
Werner building at the corner of Douglas

completed. will be one of the largest and
best brick structures in the eastern part
of the city. The foundations have been

each twenty-five feet wide will face upon
Douglas avenue. and back of this two
store rooms of equal width Will face
Washington avenue, making five twenty
five foot store rooms. all Of nearly equal
length The second floor will be fitted
up as fats and offices, with all the most
modern conveniences, while the walls are
being built strong enough to support am
other story whenever needed. Even at
ter the sand and brick were hauled to
the location many people thought the
building would never be erected. but now
the most skeptical have no grounds on
which to base their opinion. The work
is progressing rapidly and it will re-
Quire only a few weeks to place the build
ing in condition for occupancy.

Is DEAD OR LOST
Michigan Man Thinks Son
Died Here.
WRITES COUNTY CORONER
No Body Buried by the County
Fills Description \

Coroner McCollister received second
letter yesterday from an anxious parent
In Yicksburg, Mich, who says that he
has reason to believe that his 2O-year-old
son. who left Kansas City during the
flood last spring, is either dead or lost
and wandering some place in the south
ern part of the state. He says that he
has reasons to believe that he came to
Wichita and writes to Mr. McCollister to
find whether the boy has been seen dead
or alive in this city.
The name of the father is ]. Z. Haw
kins. and judging from his letters he is
sincere in thinking that the boy left
Kansas City for this part Of the state.
He says that he left during or shortly af-
ter the great floods in this state and fears
that some accident has befallen the boy.
The first letter from the father gave
the following description of the boy: He
was between q and % years of age
weighed about 135 pounds, about 5 feet
10. inches tail. brown hair. blue eyes.
light complexion, and on the left arm
was the tattooed figure of soldier. and
the tip Of the index finger on the right
hand was off.
Mr.. McColiister answered the first let
ter by saying that no one had come I'M
der his notice filling the description,
either dead or alive, but that he would
investigate and if possible learn the
whereabouts of the boy. The second let
ter is very much like the first, with the
exception that it gives a more minute
description OF the boy and shows that
the writer thinks his son is certainly
somewhere in this part Of the state. Mr..
McCollister states that none Of the bodies
OF persons who have come under his care
would fill the description and that he is
doubtful if the boy ever came to this
city. II he did, he must have left it as
ne came

ON CRIMINAL CHARGE
County Attorney Preparing
Complaint Against Engineer.
FOR MO. PACIFIC WRECK
Railroads Independent inveSti-
cation Not Completed.

Superintendent Webb, of the Missouri
Pacific, has returned from the joint in
vestigation at Hutchinson He said yes
terday:
1T was generally understood at Hutch
inson, yesterday, that the county attor-
ney of Reno county is preparing charges
to be brought against Engineer Forester.
of the Santa Fe, for criminal careless
ness in running into the Missouri Pacific
passenger train No IS, and causing the
wreck which resulted in the death of MI
Lonnecker.'
All of the business of the joint investi-
CATION has not been completed. and the
result is not ready to be given TO the
public, but Mr.. Webb said:
THE Missouri Pacific was in no way
responsible for the wreck, and will stand
none of the losses. We have the affida-
Wits of "a uninterested parties, who tes-
tify that our engine stopped and whistled
for the crossing before advancing, and as
the crossing was clear at the time, the
state law was not violated in the least"
The coroner's jury, which was called to
inquire into the cause of the death of G..
z. Lonnecker, after being out for nearly
three hours, brought in verdict, which
placed the responsibility for the wreck
equally on the engineers of the two roads.
An their verdict the jurymen said:
The jury, while failing to agree as to
the degree of culpability attaching TO each
engineer. is yet OF the opinion that the
collision was due in a measure 70 the
careIessne.s of the engineers of both
trains
II is reported at Hutchinson that one
of the jurymen has given out that the
verdict was a compromise affair, as there
was one man on the jury who would not
agree TO any kind of verdict that would
censure one company more than the
other. In the evidence before the jury
all of the witnesses testified that the Mis-
souri, Pacific engineer stopped and
whistled for the crossing, except the
Santa Fe train men, and they said they
did not know. A few of the witnesses
testified that the Santa Re train did not
stop. while all of the train men of that
company said that it did. The evidence
on this point was very conflicting.

WILSON HAS RETURNED,
But Seems to Be Mental and Physi-
cal Wreck.

Early yesterday morning County At
torney Emery e. Wilson of Sumner coun-
~, who disappeared suddenly from his
home at Belle PLANE July 4, was found
in the dooryard of his own home in an
unconscious condition. A physician was
called who did what he could for the
apparently suffering man. but he contin-
ued delirious all day yesterday and
seems not to recognize any of his family
or former friends.
Wilson does not appear to have Jared
well since his sudden departure from his
home. His beard is long, his clothing is
ragged, his eyes sunken, his body ema-
ciated. and it is said that he wears the
same Undertaking that he wore when he
left He continually raves about drink
ing from a spring in Virginia and seems
TO think he is in that state. Upon his
person was found a ticket for Clarks-
burg, Va. It is supposed that he was at
that place and the ticket is the only
clue to his whereabouts since he left
Wilson's coat was found yesterday morn
ing on the street about a block from
the home with a tag pinned to it instruct
ing the conductor to put him off at Belle
PLANE.
wilson's appearance is as much of
mystery as his disappearance. 1t devel-
oped after he had been gone some time
that he had been unsuccessful in some
business transactions. He went TO Kan
sas City with a load of cattle but after
reaching that point he did not return
but went to Topeka and from that point
wrote TO his wife in Belle Plaine, stat
ing that she would never see him again
aiive-that he would commit suicide.
Later his coat and hat were found on
the banks of the Kaw river and it was
generally supposed that he had kept his
word and had destroyed his own life.
His sudden appearance in Belle Plaine
was a surprise to every one.
