RANTEsEs DIED 1000 YEARS AGO
The story of His Marriage Has just
Been Dug Up.

Chicago, Oct. 17.=Rameses IT died
1000 years ago, but some of the facts
concerning his life are just becoming
known One Of these is the story of
his marriage, which has just been re-
vealed by Prof. James H. Breasted. of
the University of Chicago in his first
preliminary report of the expeditions
which he has been making among the
temples and hieroglyphics along the
Nile, published in the October issue of
the American Journal of Semitic
Languages and Literature. issued yes
terday.
He found the account of this event
in the Sun temple Of Abu Simbel,
which is one of the principal build
ings erected by King Rameses.
To tell the story it required an in
scription of forty-one lines, each about
eight feet long, making a total line
some 1928 feet in length. Professor
Breasted finds it impossible to give
the complete translation OF this story
in his article. but reports the use of
a word for SNOW is found here in
snowIess Egypt for the first time In
human history.

HARRIS AT KINSLEY.
Touches Up Treasury Scandal and
.Comanche Bond Deal.

Kinsley. Kan. Oct. HIT was not
surprising that there was an extra
touch of appreciation in Senator Har-
ris' tone yesterday as he faced the au-
dience of 225 which had gathered in the
opera house to hear him speak, because
If ever meeting was held under I'M
favorable circumstances, his was yes
teTday.
Senator Harris touched on the treas
ury scandal and the Comanche county
bond deal He said:
mo one knows the condition of the
state treasury. The governor of your
state has said that the law calling for
monthly examinations by him is a farce
and he has neglected to carry out the
provisions of that law. The last state
treasurer admits that the treasury is
short $1,000 and he is trying to dieker
with the attorney general for some kind
of a compromise Yet the books show
there is q shortage of something like
$4,000, but no one knows how much.
Take the Comanche county land deal
A former attorney general Mr.. GODDARD,
went down to Comanche county to ne
gotiate for the sale Of 1923 600 worth OF
their bonds. He was to get $4,000 COM
mission for their sale. He paid $1.800
to the county attorney of. that county
to assist him. Then he went to Topeka
to see his successor, Mr.. Coleman. Mr.
Coleman found the county valuation
was not sufficient, so, in some mysteri-
Gus manner. the valuation of the coun-
ty was Increased to the necessary
amount Of $4,000
Now. listen carefully. GODDARD went
to the state treasury, where he was
given s123, 900 of your money, but he
made no delivery of the bonds then. He
with this fortune, the states money
mind you. went out and bought the
bonds and had the nerve to charge the
state something like $400 interest on its
own money, while he had it in his pos
session.
This is not a Democratic charge. A
jury of u men. a large majority Of
whom were Republicans, so decided be-
fore an honorable, upright Republican
Judge. It is all a matter of court rec
ord and I say that not only was Mr..
Coleman convicted of an outra geous
conspiracy, but the entire administra-
ton from the governor down stands in
dicted of outra geous carelessness with
the peoples money.
DO you want that kind of an attor-
ney general for two years more2 Why
Is it that just now every influence
known is being brought to bear to save
I the Republican candidates for treasurer
and attorney general? I say we want
the lid OF those two offices. so that
Dave Overnyer and Pat German may
Investigate and ascertain what has be-
come of the peoples money.
Senator Harris spoke an hour and a
quarter. He was followed by Patrick
German, candidate for state treasurer.
o. H. Truman, candidate for congress
from the Seventh district, and ". P
FEEDER, candidate for state printer.

R!CH BABY MISSING.
It Is Beloved to Be secreted some
where in cs-icago-

Chicago, Oct. little Chronicle to-
day says:
A missing baby heir connected with
many Of the Droudest families of the
south, among them that of former
Governor David r. Francis of Mis-
souri,. and the Clays of Kentucky, who
is supposed to have been spirited away
In a few hours after Its birth and to
be now in Chicago, ignorant of its
parentage, is the central figure in a
search which has as its end the dis
position of a, large Kentucky estate.
During the last few weeks all Chi
cago has been secured in an effort to
find a daughter OF Mrs. Estelle Che
maui Clay who died some time ago,
under an assumed name. No trace Of
the child or accurate proof of its birth
has been found, but the mother of
Mrs. Clay, Mrs. Lavanfa Estill Che
nault Cunningham of Escondida, Ky,
an aunt of former Governor Francis,
has charged that Mrs. Mary Peck
Theill, q west side club woman and
charitable worker, has knowledge Of
the Whereab bouts of the missing child
and is secreting it. The emphatic de-
nial of this by Mrs. Theill has but
deepened the mysterious circum-
stances of the case.
Should Mrs Cunningham discover
the missing child and establish the
authenticity Of a win made by Mrs
Clay leaving her property to her chill
dren, the bulk of the large estate will
go to the children instead of the father,
a relative of the late Cassius NJ. Clay
Otherwise Clay will receive the estate
and the custody of the one child now
in Kentucky.
