Another Rich Man Missing

The sheriff today commenced an In
vestigation into the disappearance Of
Ole Budsberg of lola, Wis. Budsbcrg
came to Laporte in March, 1907. He
was acquainted with Mrs. Guinness
and in company with her visited the
Laporte Savings bank, where he re
ceived thousand dollars collected Oh,
note. He has never been seen
since and there is strong reason to
believe that the identification of the
dismem mbered body found yesterday as
that of Andrew Helgelein was an error
A. X. Helgelein brother Of Andrew
yesterday declared himself positive
that the body was that of his brother
but today he says he is not so certain
There are many discrepancies which
make it almost positive that the body
is that of another man and that Hell
gelein's disappearance is yet to be ex
planned.
rte, Ind, May 6.-Mrs Belle
Gun, ,ss, In the yard of whose destroy
ed home five bodies were exhumet
yesterday and who was thought te
have perished when her house was
burned week ago, is believed by
many here still to be alive. This ha.
strengthened the belief that she vii
be shown to be the most fiendish mur
deress of the age.
While it was at first believed tina
she was killed with her three childre,
through the burning of her countr,
home, one mile northeast of L;
Porte, it was recalled here last nigh
that none OF these bodies were iden
titled, and that the corpse of the WON
an was headless.

Happy Bedtimes

DO not reprimand or punish the
children late in the day: never just
before bedtime! Send them off to
their beds happy. Commend them for
the good they have done, forgetting
for the time at least. anything that
has been remsS in their conduct Tell
them a story when there is time
there should always be time-and let
it be ii bright and cheerful one. Kiss
and tuck them in. leaving them happy,
to the sweet repOsc that is the inalien-
able right of children
If You ever heard little child cry
ing and sobbing in its sleep. you
would never chide or punish one
again just before bedtime. Take any
other time than that. Seal their clos
ing eyelids with kiss and Il blessing.
The time will come. all too soon. when
they will lay their heads upon their
pillows. lacking both. Let them. then.
at least have the memory of IA happy
childhood. of which no future trouble
or sorrow can rob them.

What Is Anti.Semitis m?

What is anti-Scmitism The word
is nonsense. for even an apostle of
Jcw-hatrcd. llentschci. denies the So
mite race. There are today in En-
rope no pure Semites and the most
eminent anthropologists are of the
opinion that the Jews of today are
just as little pure Scmites as the Ger
mans of today are pure Teutons
There is the further fact that our
modern anti-Semites by no means
combat the Semitic race as a whole.
for they only deal with the Jews. Let
us then speak plainly: The Jews o;
today are Jews. e.. they come from
Jewish parents and profess the Jewish
faith. \ sober Investigator cannot say
more of them than that The anti
Semitcs are opponents of the Jews
and. according to their fanatic. hate
inspired method of fighting. enemies
of the Jews. On what motives do they
base their hatred of the jew! Why
do they fight them! Anti
Semitism replies that it hates the Jews
because it holds them far inferior and
does not regard them-owing either
to their origin or their relieion-as ca

At a dinner given by high official at Washington a distinguished French man. who was visiting this country as a delegate to a certain industrial con ference, gave expression to extrava- gant praise of his beloved France. His neighbor at table, on the right, would smile and bow in polite acquiescence every time the visitor would mention an instance of Frances superiority above every other nation.
 The French" exclaimed he. "are the politest people on earth"

Two men beat off the deer with

Relatives = Alleged Slayer
Proves AIibi.

Fairfax. Mo.-When Jacob A. Funk
alighted from a train at Skidmore,
Nodaway county. and greeted and was
recognized by his old friends he was
as one who arose from the dead. and
could also have enacted the part OF
Enoch Arden. for the Philip Ray"
and his wife still reside In the town.
He could even have done something
more startling than this. He could
have been taken to the cemetery and
been shown the grave in which his
body was supposed to have been laid
more than dozen years ago. He did
not do this but left on the first train
for Maryville, where he suddenly ap-
peared before his sister. Mrs. ID. s.
Holmes, who felt that she was con-
fronted by one from another world.
The story that forms the basis of
these surprises and complications is
somewhat peculiar one, dating back
IA years. In the spring of 1894 Jacob
A. Funk. "a years old. and Frank
Ridge. who was a few years younger.
were farming on shares near Skid
more. Early in April Funk left home
In rickety road cart. ostensibly for
the purpose OF buying seed potatoes.
He did not return, and after many
days his friends decided that he had
left the country, or that he had been
killed. A search revealed nothing. and
in August Ridge disposed of his share
OF the crop to the mother of the miss
Ing man and went to Kansas City.
More than year passed. and early
in December. 1895. fragments of hu-
man body were found hanging to a
tree in a ravine In Atchison county,
about six miles west of Skidmore.
Other bones, an old valise and some
pieces of clothing were found on
the ground nearby. Attention was at
once directed to the disappearance Of
Funk, and some of his relatives were
sure that the body was his. His aged
father said that he could recognize

nection with his newspaper work he
perpetrated many OF his most daring
burglaries.
Jones confessed to looting class.

wearing apparel and school supplies.
These thefts were fully described by
Jones in articles he wrote for news
papers. From drug store he stole
$500 in cash at different times while
telephoning stories to his newspaper.
His success along this line prompted
him to take a partner and he invited
his schoolmate, Ashley Lock. consid.
cred one of the brightest students in
Utica academy, to Join him.
Others among the students also
went into the criminal combine about
this time. according to the confession
of Jones and Lock, and the scope oi
their thefts was considerably ex
tended. Jones and Lock robbed the
home of a contractor residing next to
Jones own home. Jones wrote q
thrilling account of the burglary.
Next Jones and his band turned
their attention to the newspaper Office
where he was employed. They stole
the pay envelopes of his fellow work
men and incidentally his own. Jones
and his companions used the proceeds
of their thefts to speculate In the
stock market
