WITCH LOCATES BODY.
Texas searchers Successful After Fol-
lowing Her Directions-Dead
from Exposure.

San Antonio, TeX.-MaX Crenwelge.
wealthy farmer and cattle man Of
Fredericksburg, wandered away from
his home and for more than week all
search for him was in vain. He wore no
coat and as a norther came up after he
had been missing two days serious
doubts were felt as to his ability to live
in the open mountain and prairie coun-
try where he was supposed to have
wandered. A large reward was offered
for information leading to his discov-
cry. After six days it was decided by
the family to cffer reward of $4,000
for the body, dead or alive.
After the second offer of a reward a
letter was received from Kerrville a
city about 100 miles distant, giving ex-
plicit directions as to how to find the
body.
The letter was from an alleged seeress
and directed that the reward be diverted
to charitable purposes. The directions
of the writer were carefully followed
and in the exact spot indicated, under a
live oak tree six miles from the home Of
the lost man, the oody was found
The letter also explained the writer
had been worried because of being un-
able to assist in discovering the man,
but she had no idea where the scene of
the dream was laid until the public
interest in the case drew her attention
to the Fredericksburg man from descrip-
tions of whom she readily recognized
the man of her dreams
The location of the body is lonely

TOY STOPS WIRELESS
BOY JARS EXPERTS BY BLOCK
ING REPORTS.
Crude Instrument Is Used in His Ex-
periments Government Scien-
lists Puzzled Over Interruption
Lad Considered a Genius.

Washington.-With home made ap-
paratus Lloyd Manuel, a Newport
schoolboy, is able to interfere with the
operation OF the naval wireless station
at that point. Commander Albert
Gleaves thinks the matter SO important
that he has sent to the bureau of equip
ment OF the navy a detailed account OF
the plant which the boy has built. The
meagerness of it may be gathered from
the statement of the commander that
the young operator receives messages
through the medium of an ordinary in
candescent electric lamp, the glass on
which he had broken and which he
uses for receiver.
His induction coil is one taken from
an old automobile and throws half
inch spark, while his key is the ordi-
nary Morse instrument. The coil with
which he controls the wave length is
made of No. Ia copper wire, bare, wound
around a wooden cylinder in grooves.
His spark gap is maIe with two COM
mon steel nails driven into pine boad
one-eighth of an inch apart, and his
ground current is accomplished
through connection with water
pipes In the house in which he lives.
Two common wooden poles, Is feet
high, attached to the ridge pole of
the house, support the antennae.
These are three bare copper wires
stretched between the poles, kept
apart by spreaders and joined only by
single wire running down to the in
struments
According to the reports made to
the navy department, the youth, who
is not more than 16 years old, has
given decided shock to the wireless
operators, and it is believed that in
his crude apparatus they many find
several valuable ideas.
Newport, R. Lloyd Manuel is re.
garded here is genius. He began
his experiments in wireless telegraphy
four years ago, and soon had system

tage home, and he has a sending appa-
ratus the power from which is OBJ
tained from set of dry batteries. He
gets spark about a quarter of an inch
long, and this enables him to send a
mile and half With this he COM
municates with the torpedo station and
the Fall River line boats.
"My arrangement is modelled accord
Ing to the Massie system" he said,
"and I am now constructing a spe-
cial apparatus. such as the government
uses. l am sorry if l have given the
operators at the station any trouble,
and will take care not to do 1t again.

codes, and now am learning the naval
CODE" Experts say he is an expert in
their use.
Manuel left school two years ago,
and has been delving in wireless teleg-
raphy ever since. He hopes to get his
living from it. He was found at a
children's party. The festivities
stopped while he gave an interview.

STOLEN IDOL IN A MUSEUM
Treasure Is Discovered to Have Been
Taken from Collection in
Vera Cruz.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Carnegie Museum has
been found guilty of receiving stolen
goods, but not knowingly. An ancient
Mexican idol, remarkable for its char
acter and state of preservation, which
was purchased number of years ago
from an agent in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
it has been discovered, was stolen from
private museum in that city.
At the meeting of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence in Pittsburg in 1902, the idol at
tracted the attention of several inter-
ested in Mexican archaeology. One of
these visitors recently visited the mu-
scum of Senor Theodore Dehesa, gov
ernor of Vera Cruz. The governor was
lamenting the loss of a rare idol and
showed photograph of the object
stolen from the collection. His visitor
informed him it was in the possession
Of the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburg.
This led to correspondence, and DR..
W. ]. Holland, director of the museum.
offered to return the idol, but the gov
ernor donated it to the museum.

"Treasure Ward" Fails to Find

pressed the French government that it
employed magic art in similar search.
The solemn, intensely practical gov
ernment engaged one Eggy, who calls
himself "the treasure wizard" to find
the remains of Rene Duguay Trouin,
that they may be transplanted to the
Pantheon, the huge mausoleum for
Frances distinguished dead.
After terrorizing the seas as a priva-
teer Duguay Trouin entered his coun-
try's navy and in I'LL captured and
sacked Rio Janeiro. He proved his valor
on land, too, and rose to be lieutenant
general in the French army.
Dying in 1876, the old hero was buried
in the famous church of St Roch, but
the records do not exactly fix the place
OF his interment. Eggy pretends to be
able to find buried treasures, to locate
hidden water, gold or coal, being guided
IN his mystic explorations by light
witchhazel wand, which he poises on his
finger. When the wand trembles the
treasure wizard knows he stands over
the object of his search.
Eggy declared he could find Duguay
Trouin's place of sepulcher because, as
he particularly put it, his wand would
surely indicate the dust of a hero, dust
more precious to France than all the
gold" So the government, linking it.

or two ago to push the search.
Balancing his wand the wizard walked
around the church. Here the wand

The church is metropolis practically

farewell and sorrow.
For all the very flower Of Rouens
youth had promised to follow Tom
Vanrevel on the long and arduous Jour
ney to Mexico, to march burning miles
under the tropical sun, to face strange
fevers and the guns Of Santa Anna.
Few were the houses of the more pre-
tentious sort that did not mourn in
prospect the going Of son or brother
or close friend. Mothers already wept
not i'll secret, fathers talked with husky
bravado, and every one was very kind
to those who We're to go, speaking to
them gently and bringing them little
foolish presents. Nor could the hearts
of girls now longer mask as blocks of
Ice to the prospective conquistadores.

Jean, after two years. Beatrice and

that notable spitfre, announced his en-
gagement upon the day after his en-
lstment and recounted to all who
would listen how his termagant fell
upon his neck in tears when she heard
the news. "And now she cries about
me all the time" finished the frank
Jean blithely.
But there was little spirit for the old
merriments. Fanchon, Virginia and
five or six others spent their after
moons mournfully, and yet proudly,
sewing and cutting large pieces of col
ored silk. fashioning great flag for
their sweethearts and brothers to bear
southward and plant where stood the
palace Of the Montezumas.
That was sad work for Fanchon.

sake that she wept, since, as every one
knew, Jefferson was already so full of
malaria and quinine that the fevers of
the south and Mexico must find him
1nvulnerable. and even his mother be-
lieved he would only thrive and grow
hearty on his soldering. But about
Crailey Fanchon had a presentiment
more vivid than any born Of the nat
ural fears for his safety. 1t came to
her again and again, reappearing in
her dreams. She shipered and started
often as she worked on the flag, then
bent her fair head low over the gay
silks, while the others glanced at her
sympathetically. And when the flag
was completed save for sewing the
stars upon the blue ground she took it
away from the others and insisted
upon finishing the work herself.
1t was at this Juncture, when the
weeping Of women was plentiful, when
old men pulled long faces and the very
urchins of the street observed periods
of gravity and even silence, that no
ton entered the head of Mrs. Tanber-
ry-young Janey Tanberry-to the eff
feet that such things were all wrong.
She declared energetically that this
was no decent fashion of farewell; that
after the soldiers went away there
would be time enough to enact the
girls they had left behind them, and

that until then the town should be
made enlivening. So she went about
preaching revival Of cheerfulness.
Nor was her vigor spent in vain. It
was decided that ball should be given
to the volunteers of Rouen two nights
before their departure for the state rem
devious, and 1t should be made the
noblest festival In Rouen's history.
The subscribers took their oath to it.

hopefully as she retired.
"Den we mus git ready to share big

kneeling Mamie, with giggle.
Alas, poor adoring servitress, she re-
ceived share unto herself that very
evening, for her young mistress, usual

When Mrs Tanberry came in to tell
her that Nelson was at the block with
the carriage Miss Betty did not turn,
and the elder lady stopped on the
threshold and gave quick, asthmatic
gasp of delight.

me want to be man! I'd pick you up
and run to the north pole, where no
one could ever follow. And I can tell
you that It hurts not to throw my
