MYRTLE ELLIOTT FOUND.
Is Employed as a Domestic in Home
of Abe jacobson.

Myrtle Elliott, the missing girl
has been found in the home of a fam
lily living at 40 Harrison street. She
disappeared from the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Elliott
SIP Tyler street, a week ago last Sat
urday and not a trace had been found
of her for week. Last Saturday a
warrant was issued for Roy Devine
charging him with enticing the girl
away from home. Young Devine had
kept company with the Elliott girl
for the past six months and her par
ents believd that he had hand in her
disappearance, and swore out a war
| rant for his arrest as reported in the
State Journal Saturday. They had
forbidden him keeping company with
their daughter a short time ago.
When the girl read the article In
the State Journal Saturday evening
stating that warrant had been is
sued for the arrest of Roy Devine on
a serious charge, she at once sent a
note to the Devine home telling
where she was located. o. w. De-
vine at once notified the police. The
charge made against his 15-year-old
boy, and declared that there was no
ground whatever for the allegations
made in the warrant He went to
the girl Sunday and secured her sig
nature to a statement generating the
her leaving home.
| A State Journal man called at 41O
Harrison street Sunday afternoon and
| interviewed the Elliott girl regarding
| her disappearance. Abe jacobson lives
| at this place. The girl herself answered
| the bell and after some hesitation, talk
/ ed freely about the matter. She said:

nestle and like it and shall stay here.
Roy Devine did not even know where

The girl admitted that the fact that

| partly the cause of her leaving home

Repentance to be genuine must at
feet the outward life. Sometimes
people will listen to a stirring Gospel
message. They realize the position
they are in before God. The heart
is touched. The mind is moved. The
Judgment is convinced. The con
science is awakened. The soul is

the church; they mingle with worldly
companions; they're brought under
worldly Influences: they forget the
noble resolution they made; and they
walk on in the same old sinful way
that they had been going in before.
There isn't any repentance about
that. Genuine repentance demands
that there shall be definite and &C
tual giving up of sin. and an actual
turning into righteousness in thought
in speech and in the deeds of every
day life. Genuine repentance must
affect the outward life in its entirety.
People are willing to give up this,

one secret sin they want to keep.
Genuine repentance demands that you

Results of the Practice Cruise

OeSu1CS Oh the fTaCC1CO OTuISO
One practical result of the cruise
of the battleships to the Pacific could
hardly have been attained in any
other way. The distance which q
fighting ship can sail without recoal-
ing is an important thing. as was dem
onstrated In the remarkable voyage OF
the Russian feet three years ago.
Some foreign critics were surprised
when they learned that our feet was
expected to sail on the coal in the
ships bunkers from Callao to Magda-
lena bay, over 5000 miles. 1t trans
pired that many of the ships could
have. steamed another 1000 miles on
the coal they carried. and a few Of
them could have made total of 5. 600
miles.
In the matter of expense it is said
that the feet saved 81, 600 day by
using less coal than was expected.
The new battleships consumed from
ten to fifteen tons day less than the
quantity prescribed in the estimates.
However. the practical thing was to
ascertain the distance which the ships
could steam without being dependent
upon GOLFERS or coaling stations. This
could not be ascertained satisfactorily
by practice over q short course.

According to experts who have fig
ured up the totals submitted by the
officials of the jamestown exposition,
the national treasury stands to lose
upward of 81, 100000. The govern
ment is not preferred creditor and
can not realize on the property which
remains in possession of the corpora
ton. Congress lent the money on
prospective gate receipts. and these
fell short. The government has not
been asked to take any such chances
at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific fair. The
congressional appropriation of $780,
600 is to be expended for the build
lngs and exhibits of the United States
government. our insular possessions
and Alaska. and no part of the amount
will have to be returned to the gov
eminent by the exposition manage
ment.
