Of them carrying a Chinese flag which
she had made from cotton produced at
the factory.
The emblems were colored by one
of the officials and distributed to the
members of the party. The incident
delighted the commissioners, particu-
larly Viceroy Tuan Fong, who marched
about the room waving the flag en-
Enthusiastically. Viceroy Tuan was es-
pecially interested in the weaving pro

NEARLY TWO YEARS MISSING
Little Indiana Boy Who Is Supposed
to Have Been Kidnaped-'Fid-

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 10. - There
was an old fiddlers' contest at Gin
ton last night to raise money for the
fund for the search for "Rich" Boyers,
the Seelyville boy kidnapped in May,
1904, and the men with the rosin and
the bow who have been known up and
down the Wabash valley as proficient
in Turkey in the Straw" and Sugar
in the Gourd" participated. Lodges
are especially appealed to in behalf
of the parents of the boy and many
are voting money or giving entertain
ments for the benefit of the fund.
Editor Wolfe at New Harmony print,
ed a story of the disappearance of the
boy, with a minute description of the
little fellow. Marked copies of the
paper were sent to all the newspapers
in Tennessee, Arkansas and Ken

ton, and the story has been reprint
ed throughout the three states until
now a movers outfit is inspected at

Friend of Former Wife.

MariEette, Wis, Feb Oh. p. Bird,
Of Wausaukce, state senator from this
district, was married in Detroit to Mrs.
Mott, a woman Of great culture and
musical ability. The announcement
was surprise to his closest friends
here, although his visits to Detroit last
fall were at the time considered sus-
picious. 1t is learned now that the en-
gagement was made around Thanks
giving, but that the acquaintance has
continued some time.
The wedding took place at the home
of Senator Birds daughter, Mrs. w.
II. Durham, at 125 King avenue, in
Detroit, and the couple left Immediate
ly for California, where the winter will
be spent, and a return will be made
in the spring to Wausaukee, where
Mr.. and Mre. Bird will reside. 1t is

NutritO.
the goth Century
cereal coffee. It's
different

For sixty years southwestern
Wisconsin, and more particularly
the region lying in the southwest
ern corner of Grant county, has
been rich in deposits of lead, zinc
and jack. The recent revival of the
mining industries is not due to an
over-cOnfident estimate Of the pro
ductive powers of the country, but
is simply a business-Iike method of
reaching the ore deposits with
modern machinery and working the
same on an economical and bust
ness basis. The lead and zinc min
ing district of Wisconsin comprises
a large area. During the past two
years new discoveries of both lead
and zinc in paying quantities have
been of almost daily occurre nee.
There have been great opportunities
here for men of great or small CAPT
tai, and in no other field can drill
ing be done at a smaller expense.
The ore is usually found from sixty
to one hundred feet below the sur
face and drilling can be done at rs
cents to 81 per foot. Ore is often
struck in the first hole put down
The land is generally owned by
farmers who do not want to work
their mines but prefer to lease the
mineral right for about 10 per cent
rental.
