nate. His rapid rise, however, has not
changed his picturesque personality in
the least and he looks just the same
now as when he himself peddled but
tons on the streets and in hotel Hobbies.
BIN" has been a pretty good guesser
on the way things have come out at
previous conventions and the wise poll
ticians are wondering whether he is
still a good prophet. Their interest is
founded on the fact that fBim' is
plunging on German. He admits that
that he has about a ton of German
buttons on hand and expects that
there will be a great demand for them,
particularly after the convention has
completed its work. The wiseacres say
that BIN" is following a false tip. He
himself says that he ordered the but
tons after he had learned that Mr.. Cor
man had bought 500 large and expen
sive photographs of himself for use in
St. Louis. BIN thinks that German
who is a thrifty man, would not waste
this money unless reasonably certain
of his nomination. At any rate, the
tip was good enough for "Bim," and
he says he is willing to take the chance.
At the same time, he has had the fore
sight to lay in a good stock of Parker
buttons, SO as to be on the safe side.

already on the ground show that great
doubt exists as to what action the
convention will take The call sets forth
the purpose of the convention to nom
mate candidates for president and
vice president, but it is not improbable
that this work will be held over until
the democrats have made their nomin-
atoms at st. Louis. A certain ele-
ment of the populists would, it is be-
lieved. favor an Endorsement of Hearst
in the event he received the demo-
cratic nomination. 1t is not believed
that any other of the candidates men
toned for the democratic nomination
would receive the support of the popu-
lists.
In the event the populists decide to
go it alone they will be at a loss ap-
parently whom to put up for the head
of the ticket. AS a matter of fact the
party appears to be considerably de-
moralized from having supported the
candidate of another party in two cam
paigns. The old time leaders are de-
serting the flag and unless new men
capable of acting as leaders come to
the front rapid disintegratiOn and fl
nal decay are bound to follow. 10 A.
Parker, chairman of the middle of the
road faction, announces his intention to
retire. Ex- Senator Marion c. Butler,
chairman of the executive committee,
has Topped to the republicans and is
advising all populists to support Roose-
Welt for president. 1t looks as though
another four years will see the bulk of
the populists returned to either the re-
publican or democratic banners, while
the irreconcibles will probably find
refuge in the ranks of the socialist Ia
Dor party or some similar organization.

those who know of the disappearance.
For some time the girl has been en-

Mother Objects.

The girls mather at one time, it is
said, objected to these actions on the
part of her daughter and the painter
and endeavored to have the girl find
other employment But later for some
reason the objections were withdrawn
and the girl went back to work. The
girls father is dead and Hubert is the
name of her stepfather.
Donaldsons wife is deaf mute and
it is believed that she knew nothing of
the relations between her husband and
the girl Neither the girls mother nor
the wife of Donaldson complained to
the authorities of the matter, but the
people living in the vicinity believed
something should be done and notified
the police.
Humane officer Vaupell was sent out
to investigate the case and he has been
working on it for some time. 1t was
thought that the best way to trap the
couple would be to have some of the
neighbOrs telephone to the officer when
the two left for Seattle some night and
have the police watch them here.
Last Seen Tuesday.
Donaldson and the girl did not visit
the city to the knowledge of any one
since this arrangement was made. But
Tuesday afternoon they started for the
Green Lake car line and that is the
last trace that can be found of them.
They carried no bundles or baggage.
The only word that Donaldson left was
that he told his stepson that he was
behind in his accounts and that he
| was going TO leave town until the
trouble blew over and his creditors
uuieted down. The girl told her mather
that she was going to Seattle to find
another situation.
| There was nothing of any value left
| in the paint shop and it is said that the
painters creditors Will have nothing or
| which to levy.
Donaldson is about feet 9 inches
tall. has light brown hair. a sandy
mustache. blue eyes. weighs about 140
pounds and when he got on the Green
Lake car was wearing black suit a
derby hat and black house slippers.
The girl is described as small for
her age and wearing black or dark
blue skirt reaching about to her shoe
tons. a mink waist and a hat trimmed
with wide blue ribbon. Her hair is
tied with bow.

Indianapolis, April 30.-The demand
for the appointment OF state railroad
commission is not limited to Indianap-
oils by any means, nor are it's cham
pions confined to any one part of Indi-
ana. The urgent requests from Indi-
annapolis business concerns for prOtec-

sitions by the railroads are repeated by
nearly every large shipper throughout
the state. The demand for cheaper
coal in this city, Secretary Riley of the
Indiana Shippers association says, is
only one phase of a general agitation
which is confined only by the bounda-
ries of Indiana.
Letters have been sent out from the
associations offices to every one of
the fifty commercial and industrial or

strong impetus at the first meeting

TIMELY DISCUSSION
A Noble Mission Seeks to Mitigate tho
Social Evil.

Social Evil.
Washington, April 30-The closing
Of the conference of the National Flor
ence Crittenton Mission was held last
night. It's chief feature was a discus
sion by Mrs. Kate w. Barrett of what
can be done to lessen the social evil.
Mrs. Barrett has had many years of
work in the field covered by the mis-
sion. Briefly her suggestions were:
/. Stop the stale of liquor in disor-
derby houses. ~
2. Establish close police supervision
and authority over such places
3. Require a record to be kept of
every inmate of a disorderly house,
giving her age, history so fer as OBJ
tainable, condition, etc.
l. Require that all recruits before
being permitted to enter disorderly
house shall report to the chief of po-
lice.
s. Make it possible for a girl to earn
an honest living.
While not advocating that police SUI
pervision and authority should be car
ried to the extent it is in some foreign
countries, where the social evil is a
legally recognized institution Mrs
Barrett held that certain degree OF
this supervision and authority with its
necessary accompaniment of segrega
ton, must be provided. In no other
way, she said, can the problem be
dealt with successfully.
