DR. S. L. Byers, of Seeleville, Ind,
will recover his little son who was
stolen from his home one year ago last
May. DR.. Byers has spent his entire
resources in search for his child and
unless the big hearted members of the
press come to his assistance his son
will grow up an outlaw and an out
cast among the lowest people of the
earth. It is cause that should ap-

papers it will form and endless chain
that will uncover the lost boys con-
cealment and return him to his dis
tracted parents. In doing this the
profession of journalism will be full
filling one Of its highest destinies.
Publishers whose circulatlons touch
the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi
valleys are especially requested to re-
produce this story Of the lost child as
DR.. Byers believes his boy is now on
some houseboat waiting to take the
read in the spring. There is a re-
ward of $500 awaiting any informa-
tion that will lead to the boys re-
covery. No questions will be asked
and if the abductor himself would
deliver the boy to his parents he
would not be molested. The uereaved
parents are heart broken with grief
and want only their child If each

will travel to every exchange table in

under similar circumstances This
appeal is indicated originally by a.
publisher who saw DR.. Byers only
once, has no personal interest in his
quest other than the bond of sympa-
thy 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 q member.
His recovery will be q triumph in

is placed right will refuse this appeal
Remember, it may your child next!

SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
Shy suItOr Made a Proposal of Mar
riage Through Photograph.

From the Youth companion
In all the village Of Fairview there was
no man quite so shy as Jonas Brown. As
a child he became speeehless with con-
fusion when any one noticed him; he
stumbled and stammered his way through
the gaWky age, and when he arrived at
young manhood. although he was popu-
lar among his own sex, the sight Of a
girls face would throw him into an
agony Of self-consei0usness He usually
took TO the other side Of the road when
he saw q young woman approaching.
Every one wondered what would happen
should Jonas fall in love. At length that
day came.
ATabella Hawkins was an attractive
girl from a neighboring town. as pretty
as she was talkative. and Jonas. who
first saw hsr at church. was captivated
by her charms A few days later he
astonished all Fairview by walking home
with her, and capped that performance
by several tentative evening calls But
whether he stTolled down floweTy lanes. or
sat with her on the porch IN the evening
the words he wanted 10 say seemed 10
stick in his throat.
Gould yOu-c0uld you" he STAN
mered on one OF these occasions

Gould you-could you-go driving with

II was not at all what he had meant
to say; but he vaguely felt that perhaps
IN a buggy ii would be easier to ask the
monentous question. Yet even there
words failed him.

Certainly said Arabeua. And so it
went on Jonas was getting desperate
Better hurry up. Jonas" his friends
urged him. There's a fellow in the town
where she lives wants her just as much
as You do
Jonas groaned. What was to be done?
He could reheaTse It all right before he
saw her. but in her presence words failed
him All one night he lay thinking the
matter over, and rose the next morning
weary yet triumphant He believed
that he had solved the problem.
A Few days later a crate arrived for
him. Looks as If It might be type
writer" said the station agent Still. as
Jonas was not given TO literary pursuits.
this guess seemed rather improbable.
That night Arabella was reused from
sleep by a voice beneath her window.
Slipping on a kimono. she leaned out TO
listen. The tones Of Jonas a bit more
nasal than she had ever heard them,
reached her ear.
i love you, the voice in the dark said
rapidly I love you more than any one
in the world. I am not worthy Of you. 1

Yes, I wiIl,' said Arabella; and a few
moments later Jonas trudged home with
his phonograph under his arm.
I've always heard Il was a grand
thing, and now I'm sure Of it," he NUT

MARKET OPENS WEAK
Continuance of Sellers All Along Line Causes Prices
 to Go Lower,
GLOBE CONSOLIDATED
 IS PUT ON MARKET,
fBy Frank j. Graf.)

BISBEE, June 25.-The opening Of the week does not bring us a very healthy market, and there is still continuance of selling all along the list. There Is no doubt that the greater part of this is caused by the oversold condition of the New York market and the declining of all copper stocks. North Butte suffered consid- erable, and has seen the lowest point since the earthquake disaster. Also Greene touched $24 at the close. Cop per Range, which was considered a good buy at $50, closed at s69.50. Warren is still being offered at s13.25 and some American Is being offered at s10.50. Calumet & Arizona dropped down to s110, and we think that for an investment should be bought up, for there is not a property in the terri tory that is making her copper as cheap, and if copper should drop to II cents this property would be declar- ing it's regular dividend.
 Denn holds well at S15. Don't wait too long on this stock.
 The distribution Of the Globe Con solidated Copper Company's allotments were received today. Many were dis appointed for not receiving more of it. We presume that there are very few who would not accept whatever was offered them, for the stock was oyersubscribed in the Copper COun- try and Duluth. and I understand that Bisbee was very fortunate in getting what she was allotted.
 Granby. for some reason or other, dropped s1 per share. This is 10 per cent. investment and regular dividend payer.
 Arizona Commercial sold of and at the close was offered at S41. Trading has been started in the Globe Consol- dated Copper. It is very likely there will be selling by a number who ex- pected the stock should have doubled in value the first day after the tiota. tion.

OF IRON ORE
 NEAR PHOENIX GOOD

A repsetative of the Phoenix Ga zette viewed samples of the menatite iron ore from the mineral lands being opened up by the Hematite people on the lands taken by them thirty-five miles northwest of Phoenix.
 The ore certainly looks good and a knock with a hammer produced a clear metallic ring. L. F. Hewins who has the samples. states that they carry from 70 to G. per cent of iron. There are also some fine samples of iron manganese brought in by Hewins on q recent trip 10 the claims.
 Associated with Hewins in this project is Professor John W. Prout of Tucson, one of the most eminent geol- Ogists in the United States today, and Colonel Epes Randolph, one of the foremost mining promoters in the country. With such men as these be hind the project there is bound to be something in it.
 They now have about fifteen men at work on the claims surveying and a well has been completed to a depth of 8 feet where a strong flow of good water was encountered.
 Prof. Prout is just now in Central America but is coming back at once
