AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers In Behalf of the
Lost Child of Dr. Byers, of
SeeleyViIIe, Indiana.

If the editor of every paper
in the central west will publish
these lines there is no question
but what DR.. S. L. Byers, OF
Seeleyville, Indiana, will re-
cover his little son who was
stolen from his home one year
year ago last May. Dr. Byers
has spent his entire resources
in search for his child and un.
less the big hearted members of
the press come to his assistance
hisi son will grow up an outlaw
and an outcast among the low.
est people of the earth. 1t is a
cause that should appear to
everyone and no father reading
these lines can do so without a
quickening of the heart aud a
sympathetic throb. 1t is be-
lieved that if this article is re-
printed in the newspapers it
will form an endless cham that
will recover the lost boys con
cea!ment and return him to his
distracted parents. In doing
this the profession of journal
ism will be fulfilling one of its
highest destinies.
Publishers whose circulation
touch the Wabash, Ohio and
Mississippi valleys are especial
ly requested to reproduce this
story OF the lost child as DR..
Byers believes his boy is now
on some houseboat waiting to
take the road in the spring.
There is a reward of $500 await
ing any information that will
lead to the boys recovery. No
questions will be asked and il
the abductor himself would de-
liver the boy to his parents he
would not be molested. The
bereaved parents are heart
eroken with grief and want or
ly their child. If each journal
will reprint these lines, they
will travel to every exchange
table in the United State and
bring back to a wretched home
a child who is now no doubt
suffering with cold, uufed and
wretched to a degree. Think
of what your own feelings
would be under similar circum-
stances! This appeal is Iindict
ed originally by a publisher
who saw DR.. Byers only once,
has no personal interest in his
quest other than the bond of
sympathy that makes the
world akin, and is inspired
from the belief that the lost
boy can only be found through
the united effort OF the country
press of which he is proud to be
a member. His recovery will
be triumph in advertising aud
no editor whose heart is placed
right will refuse this appeal.
Remember, it may be your child
next!

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan 1S.-Thcrc was an
echo of yesterdays stormy session IN
the Senate today when Mr.. Tillman
presented his resolution directing u
Senatorial investigation into the re-
moval of Mrs. Minor Morris from the
White House. The resolution provok-
ed no debate and Mr.. Tillman con-
tented himself with u brief statement
He said that he would not have intro

of Mr.. Hale. When he concluded, Mr..
Daniel moved that the resolution be
laid on the table. and this disposition
was made of it by vote OF "a to s.
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to speeches on the pure food and
Merchant Marine bills, Mr.. McCumber
advocating the food measure and Mr..
Mallory opposing the shipping bill. Mr..
Mallory was so frequently interrupted
as to cause his speech to take on the
aspect of a general debate. During
the controversy. Mr. Bacon suggested
that American corporations like the
Standard Oil Co. engaged in transport
ing their own goods to market could
take advantage of the subsidy provi-
sion of the bill. Mr.. Gallinger admit
ted the force of the objection and
promised that the defect would be
corrected. The Senate adjourned ul.-
til Monday.

President, when the senator had so
sharply criticised. appeared with a
message from the President. AS soon

was as follows:
Resolved that the President Of the
Senate be authorized to appoint a
committee Of five senators to investi-
Sa:" the recent unfortunate incident
at the White House resulting in the
expulsion from the executive Office OF

In presenting the resolution Tillman
asked for present consideration. No
Objection was made and Tillman was
recognized to speak. He said:
