MISSING ENGINEER
RETURNS HOME
Robert Boyle, Gone Since
st. Patricks' Day, Turns
Up Again.
beaten, ROBBED, RA|LROADED
Returns to Hammond From Hos
pital in Kankakee, Ill,
Yesterday.
BEATEN, ROBBED, RAILROADED

Robert Boyle, an engineer ON the
MonOn railroad, who disappeared from
Hammond ON March IL, and from whom
not n word has been heard since that
time, returned to his home Sunday
morning, after one of the most pecu-
Hammond man.
Boyle claims to have been attacked
by two men near the MOnon depot
the night of st. PatrfcEx's day and was
robbed of ss4, and gold watch. The
robbers beat him into insensibiIIty and
then put him into a box car On the Erie
railroad.
little while afterwards the car was
made up into an Erie bouth bound train
and was sent to Huntington. Here
by chance he was found and was re-
moved to Huntington hospital.
Kept in the Hospital.
Later he was sent to Kankakee, Hi,
where he was kept in a hospital there
until the severe wounds on his head
healed. He was released from the hos
pital Saturday and at once came to
Chicago and thence to Hammond where
he walked into his home and surprised
his wife. who had given him up for
dead weeks ago.
He gave as his reason for not writing
his wife the fact that he was afraid
that the recital of his condition would
worry her. AS it was, Mrs. Boyle was
SO overcome by the appearance Of her
husband. that she has been on the verge
| of a collapse ever since
| rrI he
Boyles story of his experiences, the
robbers thought they had killed him
when they put him into the car and
| thought that was the best way to dis
pose of the body.
He Was Badly Beaten Up.
However. they had not done the jot
as well as they thought and Boyle was
found in time to save his lift His
head was beaten so badly that it was
necessary to take several stitches in
the scalp.
His skull was also fractured in sew
eral places and that accounts for the
length of time required for his recov-
cry. Boyle had just received his last
months pay and he is of the opinion
that some one with designs on his
purse followed him until a convenient
place was reached and then pounced
upon him from ambush.
Police Marvel at story.
The unique manner of disposing OF
his body of a supposedly murdered
victim has never been called to the
attention of the police before and that
a man as badly injured as Boyle could
have lived through the long journey tc
Huntington is the marvel of the doc
tors who attended him at that place.
Boyle is now at his home where his
wounds will be allowed to heal ant
the fractures in his skull will be al
lowed to thoroughly knit before he viii

SAW LIFE As KNIFE
RAISED FOR INFANT

Cincinnati, o., Sept 30.-For mo-
ment Walter Streibig stood over
tiny infant last night with sharp
knife. poised ready to plunge it into
its tender body. Only his keen vision
prevented him from unconsciously
becoming a murderer.
Streibig is the embalmer for Bussee
& Bergman, undertakes. Late yes
terday afternoon the telephone rang
summoning Mr. Bussee to the home
of John Sampson, on Grove avenue.
An injured child was reported dead.
Bussee took the supposed dead child
wrapned in a sheet in his buggy ard
drove to his establishment. Carrying
it into the embalming room he turned
it over to Streibig As he did SO ne
thought he felt g throbbing OF the
chfIds brain as I supported its head
in the palm of his hand. But the sps-
Dicion that il was alive quickly passed
from his mind Then StFeiblg pro
ceeded to whet his knife, and had 1t
already raised to cut into the axfla
when he detected faint moyemeHt OF
the eycIids. Placing his index finger
into the mouth of the babe he felt
the toothless gums pressing tightly
upon it. At this juncture Bussee
quickly mixed some water with Ut
tie whiskey, which he forced deWfFthe
chiId's throat, with the result that IL
gave a lusty yell.

mental action, in the concentration of
power in the General Government to
the enfeebIenent of the State govern
ments
Whoever believes in the prevail
ing policies and tendencies of the Re
publican party will of course act with
that party in the pending Presidential
contest But whoever believes those
policies and tendencies to be vicious
and injurious can record his belief
and make it effective in no other way
than by acting with the Democratic
party"
If opposition must halt until all the
elements are agreed among them
sleeves, then obviously there can be no
opposition, there can be no organic
ed protest. The rule of the party in
power is made perpetual.
Whatever diversities of opinion may
exist among its leaders, the Democrat
ic party is today the only effective
vehicle of national political protest.
1t is the protest against Roosevelt
extravaganza. 1t is the protest
against Roosevelt personal govern
ment Ii is the protest against Roose-
welt Capitalization. It is che protest
against Government by Denunciation.
1t is the protest against militarism,

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

ROOSEvELTS EASY FORTUNE.
Inherited A Comfortable Living and
Paid Way on What He Earned.

The story officially denied that
President Roosevelt was about to
acquire a $1,200,000 residence in New
York City out of his own resources
was absurd without the denial He
has not money enough. His activi-
ties have always maintained his for
tune at about the level at which it
started, but he has never for sim
gle instant exhibited spirit of COM
mercialism, and it has always been
too busy doing things to waste time
in the pursuit of the almighty do
lar.
President Roosevelt is and al
ways has been in easy circumstances.
The general public has known lit
tie and cared less about this phase
of his existence 1t would have
been the same He was born Oct
20, 1858, in New York, the eighth gen
GRAFTON of the old Dutch family stock
in the United States. His father, also
Theodore Roosevelt, was merchant
and importer of glassware. Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a frail little boy
and was instructed by a private tu-
tor at home and allowed to run free
as much of the time as possible on
Sycamore Hill at the old family es-
tate at Oyster Bay. Thus his mus
Giles grew with his mind, and when
he was graduated from Harvard in
1880 he had some athletic victories to
his credit and also wore the insignia
of Phi Beta Kappa.
After graduating he spent a year
abroad In 1881 he attended his first
primary, and then the real Roose-
Welt, the man that the people of
the United States know and love,
appeared A member of the old aris-
tocracy, he was so democratic that
no one ever supected that he did
not belong to the great class of self
made men of which this country is
so justly proud. In comfortable cir
cumstances in the first place, the
steady increasing emoluments of
the various political offices which he
so justly Won meant nothing to him.
Assemblyman in 1884, civil service
commissioner in 1889, president of
the New York police commission in
1895, and assistant secretary of the
Navy in 1891 his salary was always
incidental to the work which he was
accomplishing, just as the royalties
on his books were the result of his
literary enthusiasm and not the end
and aim of it. He cheerfully ac-
cepted a soldiers pay when he vol
unteered for the Spanish war in 1898
and accepted $4,000 year as Gov
ernor of New York the following
wear with equal Indifference AS
Vice President of the United States
his salary was $4,000 year
President Roosevelt has bigger
family than any other President ever
had. He is giving them all an expen-
sive education His income left to
him by his father has been variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
a year. His income is little if any
larger at the present time than it
was at the time of his fathers death

Mott, in addition to receiving 800 for
his days work from Mr.. Evarts, is
said to have won considerably more
by backing himself to perform the
feat.
Weodchopper Moot laid out row
of axes, all sharpened to a keen edge.
shortly before the rise of the sun, in
the edge of bass wood growth. Re
freshing himself with drink of
brandy and milk, he made ready for
the contest. His son, Frank, stood
close by, ready to hand the chopper
his axes and wedges as needed.
At 5:25 Moot drove his axe into the
first tree. At 1890 he had cut down
eighteen trees, ranging in length from
sixty to seventy feet, and from nine

base. He had chopped and split three
and half cords. He said then that
his muscle was as good as when h
began. He believed that all of the
five cords would be chopped and split
by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when he
would begin to pile it. At 2:30 he
had finished chopping and splitting
the five cords stipulated, and the pill
ing was about one-third completed.
Moot stopped twice to eat during
the morning, consuming ten minutes
each time After O'Clock, realizing
that he would easily win Mr. Evart's
wager, he worked more slowly, but
at 4:22, an hour and twenty-eight
minutes before sunset, he laid the last
stick in place amid the cheers of the
crowd.
