SISTERS STOLEN FOR RANSOM.
Two Young Girls Whisked from
Home in Closed Carriage.

Kenosha.-Unusual mystery sur
rounds the disappearance of the
Misses Gertrude and Dorothy Beihn,
who were not seen by friends since
their parents left them sitting in a
hammock on the lawn at their home.
Jacob Beihn, their father, owns many
broad acres and is counted one of the
wealthiest farmers in southern Wis
consin. For this reason many in the
neighborhood believed the girls were
kidnapped and were held for ransom
Another angle was given to the affair
by the receipt by Mrs. Beihn, who is
the stepmother of the missing maids,
of note several weeks ago warning
her that a plot was on foot to steal
the girls. That there was kidnapping
was testified to by members of the
household who say that a closed car
riage was driven up to the Beihn gate.
1t was declared that a man was heard
sharply commanding the girls to enter
and that they obeyed him. The
horses then were whipped and the
victims rapidly carried away. The
Beihn home lies between the towns of
Paris and Somers. After an unsuc-
cessful search by relatives and local
authorities Mr. Beihn came to Keno
sha and engaged detectives to work
upon the case.

expressed himself in an interview on
the general political situation and on
the Democratic proposition of guar

M. Meyer believes the greatest

is the prevailing sentiment that the
election of the Republican ticket is
foregone conclusion. In this connec-
ton, he remarked that it might be the
best thing for the party if the usual
majority in Vermont should be ma
