Bert Hoover came home from
Wichita last Thursday to visit a
few days and to recuperate. He
was working in a meat shop in
that city and had the misfortune
to hurt his hand on meat hook.
Blood poison followed and the
hand has given him a great deal OF
trouble. For time amputation was
thought necessary but the worst is
now past and Bert will be his
usual self soon. He expects to
return to Wichita next week.

SETH BONNEY ARRESTED.

On Sunday Sheriff Haun received
a phone message from the sheriff
at Junction City to arrest and hold
Seth Bonney. He is wanted there
on charge Of mortgaging property
he did not own. Mr.. Bonney came
to Medicine Lodge the middle of
the week and registered Abilene
as his present home. When the
message was received he had left
for Kingman county. Deputy
Sheriff Gordon went after him and
finally arrested him at Nashville,
after following a cold trail as far
as Cunningham. He brought him
to Medicine Lodge and put him in
Jail at midnight Sunday. The
sheriff of Geary county arrived
Monday night and took Seth away
yesterday.
A few days before all this hap
pened Sheriff Haun received a
letter from the Sheriff at Junction
City, inquiring as to how much
stock Mr.. Bonney had in this
county. The letter stated that
Bonney had told the sheriff there to
write to Sheriff Haun and find out
if he didn't have stock here. Sheriff
Haun investigated and learned
that Bonney had nothing in this
county-that he had sold every
thing when he left. His predica
ment is a great surprise to the
people here. Seth looked like a
capitalist when he came to town
and everybody thought he had
struck it rich.

The Jewish outlook., 1904-09-23
A japanese Lost Tribes Theory
By Albert M. Hyamson.

proper is connected with FOrmOSa, the
latest acquisition to the empire, by long
and struggling chain of small islands
known as the Loo Choo group. These
islands are inhabited by two races, the
japanese in the northern portion OF the
group, and the Loo Chooans proper, the
aborigines, in all the islands. OF these
latter, as of most other races, an Israel
itish descent has been given, but the
''proofs" on this occasion differ widely
from, and are far more worthy OF con-
sideratiOn than the fantastic legends, IN
which RATS and fugitive kings and
prophets take a leading part, that have
been ATTACHED to the history OF the Jap
ancse nation in order to connect it with
the Israeltish fugitives from the Holy
Land. The imagination that evolved
the Japan Lost Tribes theory must have
been closely related to that which in an
earlier generation located the descend
ants of the exiles in Ireland. An Israel
itish princess, jeremiah Baruch, Dante
fleet. Jacob s pillow and the cornerstone
of the Temple were all involved IN the
romance that traced the royal house OF
Israel from Canaan to Cork, via Egypt
and Spain.
Half a century ago a European Jew
lived in one Of the little known centers
of the Loo Choo group Of islands. Ap
parently he combined the professions OF
merchant and physician, for he used to
complain that the natives, when i'll, re-
fused to accept alienation OF their sui
ferings at his hands, but preferred to re-
main in pain since their own medicine
men were unable to give them relief. OF
the country itself he had very unap-
preciative opinion. From his descrip-
ton itseemed almost unattractive and eX-
tremey poor in vegetation, in fauna and
in every other detail Passing rapidly
from the country, this Jewish settler IN
a little known land turned to it's inhab
itants Their appearance struck him as
being essentially Jewish. The convexity
of the noses of the natives and their par
tiality for long boards have been noticed
by all students of the Loo Chooans.
These features the writer emphasized IN
his account In another direction the
natives showed a remarkable resemblance
to the Jews The members of both races
surpass all others in their longing for
male offspring. The Loo Chooan calen-
dar included many strict fasts that re-
sembled in most details those of the
writer's own race, and he at the same
time limited at considerable agreement
between the dates on which the two sets
of holy days fell. The Loo Chooan be-
trothal rights constituted a strong link
in the chain Of proof that this Jewish
~
