AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers In Behalf Of
.,.. The Lost Child Of DR.. Byers
of See1eyville, Ind.

; ii the editor OF every paper in the
central west will republish these lines
" there is M question but what DR.. S.
j.. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind, will rr-
cover his little son who was stolen
from his home one year ago last May.
DR.. Byers has spent .. his entire re-
sources 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
outcast among the lowest people of
the, earth. It is a cause that should
appealf to. everyone and no father
reading these lines can do so without
a quickening Of the heart and SYM
pathetic throb., It. is believed that
if this article is reprinted in. the
newspapers it will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost boy IS
eoncealment and return him to his
distracted parents. In doing this
4 the profession of journalism will be
fulfilling one Of its highest destinies.
ss Publishers whose circulations touch
Ithe Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi
valleys are especially requested to
reproduce this story of the lost child
las DR.. Byers believes his boy is now
on some houseboat waiting to take
the road in the spring. Thore is q
reward of $500, awaiting any infor-
nation that will lead to the boys re-
covery. No questions will be asked
and if the abductor himself would de-
liver the boy to his parents he would
not be molested. The bereaved par
ents are heart broken with grief and
want only their child If each jour-
nal will reprint these lines, they will
travel to every exchange table in the
= United States and bring back to a
'wretched home a child who is now no
doubt suffering with cold, unfed and
wretched to degree. Think of what
your own feelings would be under
similar circumstances This appeal
is indicted originally by 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 tile lost boy can only
be found through the united efforts
of the country press of which he is
proud to be a member. His recovery
will be a triumph in advertising and
no editor whose heart is placed right
will refuse this appeal. Remember,
It may be your child nextl : 49,.

EATS 5000 ANTS At A MEAL.
Bird Known az Flicker Is Great Pro
tector of Plants. 49,

Harrisburg, Pa-Secretary Kalbfus
of the state game commission has is
sued a circular for general informa-.
ton of the public entitled, Save Our
Birds and Came" in which he details
at length methods whereby game and
wild birds can best be protected and
cared for. He also embodies recon-
mendations as to the trapping and
care of quail, and the use of poison
for the determination of vermin and
crows. y
In his circular DR.. Kalbfus says
that the greatest protector of plant
lice Is the common ant, and the great
est destroyer of the ant is the COM
mon flicker, which sometimes con-
sumes 5000 ants at one meal, and
thereby leads to the destruction Of
the lice. He also pays high tribute
to the partridge or quail as de-.
stroyer of plant vermin, and says it
eats potato bugs, cinch bugs, cater.
pillars, spiders, cotton boil weevil, and
other insects and vermin, and should
be protected. 'S~ Il

Has 100000 DREAM; Av,AkENs.
Escanaba Fireman, Rsputsd inventor
Of Engine, Misses Prize.

Z
Escanaba, Mich.-James r. Devlin
has returned to Escanaba Sldder II
not wiser man. Like the baseless
fabric of q vision have his dreams
faded of receiving $950.000 for ! new
turbine engine that he Is alleged to
have invented. ....a, ..... .>ES sfS5t
It will be remembered that Mr.. Dew.
lin, who is a locomotive fireman, re-.
ported few days ago that the North
German Lloyd Steamship company
had given him, In the shape Of draft,
the huge sum named for his patent on
q new and wonderful piece Of propul.
sive machinery. He started east, as
reported, to begin the construction of
the engine, but apparently got no
farther than Fond du Lac. There, &C.
cording to veracious report he met an
attorney who is said to represent the
steamship people, and who, strange to
say, refused to cash Mr.. Devlin's large
draft. He didn't have the money, and
may be excused for the inadvertence;
few men-and lawyers especially
travel with nearly 100000 hard cash
in their garments. tl%H
But the incident was sufficient to
arouse suspicious in Mr.. Devlin's
breast. He needed the money, and
couldn't understand why the draft
should not at once be turned into
greenbacks or gold. ss~<
Just anger seized him, and. accord
ing to Mr.. Devlin, he promptly wrecked
the model of his invention. Further,
he declares, he will not build another
until he receives his $950,0QO.
And, in addition, he has confided
to his friends in Escanaba that his
patent continuance worked perfectly
in the presence of the New York law
yer and certain marine experts who
accompanied him. But there are peo-
pie who doubt. They want to know
how he could have received the big
draft in advance of an exposition OF
the true inwardness Of his machine.

The passage of the denatured al
cohol bill by congress last week,
removing the internal revenue tax
of abont $500 per gallon on that
product, will be the occasion of
starting many manufacturing
plants throughout the northwest.
The bill does not go into effect un-
til January /, 1907, but the town
that wishes to get in on the ground
floor should lose no time in getting
the plant in readiness. 1t is said
that bushel of corn will make two
gallons Of alcohol, and that the
corn after the alcohol is extracted
is still valuable for feeding purpos-
es. The alcohol could therefore be
manufactured for less than the
present price of kerosene or gaso-
line, and for heating or lighting
purposes it is said to be far super
ior.

In the sundry civil bill passed
by congress this session will be an
item of $4,000 for the use Of the
president in paying expenses Of
trips over the country. These trips
which have been taken by presi.
dents in recent years enable our
executives to come into personal
touch with the various parts Of the
country and are regarded as essen
tial to the public good. Hereto
fore the presidents have been fore
ed to rely upon the courtesies Of
the railroad companies for special
trains, but the anti-pass spirit is
now growing, and it is no longer
considered advisable to force onr
presidents to accept special favors
from any corporation.

One million acres of government

One million acres of government

walton in Montana is soon to be
opened in the same manner as that
on the Rosebud reservation in this
state two years ago. The registra-
ton will be conducted at Billings,
Mont, from June IA to 26, and the

the territory in which the govern
ment has been at work for two
years putting in irrigating bitches,
and about 100000 acres will be in
reach of these bitches, The set
tier who secures irrigated land will
be required to pay, in annual in
stallments, the expense of the irri-
cation.

tin mine. Heretofore all tin ore
mined in this country has been
shipped to Swanses, England, for

supposed that no one in The United

years, and his success will revive

the town of Elkins, George Rossi, the
Syrian leper, about whom there has
been so much concern on the part Of
the health authorities of dozens Of
cities during the past three weeks, is
existing without care OF any kind.
The people in the vicinity are said to
be nearly panic-stricken over the
presence of the leper and the health
authorities of the state OF West Vir-
GINA are threatening the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad with all sorts of
dire consequences for bringing the
diseased man into the state.
The case tilally has been brought
to the attention of the United States
authorities after the afflicted man has
been shunted from place to place in
several states without being able to
find an abiding place where he can
have proper care. Orders have been
issued that Rossi be examined by a
surgeon in the marine hospital ser
vice and Syrian interpreter, with a
view Of ascertaining his status in
this country. How he got into the
country, at what port, what examine
ton he was subjected TO and various
other inquiries are what the officials
want answered II he should be found
to be deportable. no time will be lost
in sending him to his own country.
