An interesting little romance
which reveals to Herbert Morey,
known as Herbert Cunningham
of this city, the fact of his moth
er's death, and that he is being
searched for by a rich uncle and
aunt whom he never knew he
possessed, has lust been revealed
by the coming 10 Michigan City
of Mr.. and Mrs. d. l.. Dean of
Old Orchard, Maine, a famous
eastern summer resort. William
Morey, a young man of 26 years,
is the person whom they are
searching and he is son of Mr..
Deans sister, who died many
years ago.
Sometime ago Mr.. Dean learn
ing in an indirect way that his
nephew /was employed on the
farm Of Peter w. Brown in
LaPorte' county, Ind, determined
to come to see him. Arriving in
Michigan City from Chicago, Mr..
and Mrs. Dean went to J. R.
Weaver's livery stable and pro-
cured horse and buggy with
which they drove to the home
of Mr.. Brown. Their disappoint-
ment can we'll be appreciated
when informed that Morey had
left Mr.. Browns employ about
two years ago and that his pres
ent whereabouts was unknown to
Mr.. Brown. For time Morey
had worked at the chair factory
in Michigan City, but Mr.. Brown
was OF the opinion that he had
left the city, because he had not
seen or heard of him for some
time. He frequently spoke of
going back east and seeking to
locate some of his relatives and
Mr.. Brown seems TO think he has
left this part of the country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dean drove back
to Michigan City and went to
Chicago on an afternoon train.
Although greatly disappointed at
not finding their nephew they
felt quite we'll repaid for their
trip, for they obtained clew to
the whereabouts of another
nephew, Herbert Morey, broth
er of William, of whom they had
had no trace since the two boys
were sent west from Boston or
phan asylum when they were
quite young. From Mr.. Brown
they learned that Herbert the
Younger of the two brothers, is
living with Mr.. and Mrs. L.
Cunningham in Plymouth.
in day or two Mr.. and Mrs
Dean will visit Plymouth and To-
cate Herbert, from whom they
hope to secure information as to
the whereabouts of William.
About 20 years ago the father
of the Morey boys died and the
mother was in very poor health
She was sent to a sanitarium by
her brother, Mr.. Dean, and re-
manned there about six months
Her health was so bad that she
was unable to care for her two

century. 1t has been sontinu-
ance of government by the bosses
of the dominant party"
Mr.. Tanning said the weak
point in inter-partisan action at
the polls is that when either par
ty nominates good men, who are
then elected by the temperance
men of all parties, such men are
never heard from again. IF 100,-
600 men would vote the prohibi-
tion ticket next fall in Indiana,
said the speaker, 1.-The old parties
would fall over each other trying
to enact laws for prohibition"
Mr.. Tanning said the option
plank in the Democratic platform
was step backward. The Re
publican plank for county option
was fair in promise, but it was in
tended to seduce prohibitionists
from allegiance to their party.
If the prohibition vote should
fall off in Indiana mkt fall" he
said, there will be no county OPP
ton legislation by the next gen.
eral assembly. These option
planks we're only intended to Sc
duce the prohibitionists."
The Anti-Saloon league pol
icy is amateurish and babyish; it
is doing just what we did thirty
FIVE years ago. It's policy is one
we discarded because it accom-
plished nothing permanent"
The liquor forces, controlling
the old parties, he said, would
nullify one year whatever the
temperance forces had accom-
plished in the preceding year, by
refusing to renominate men to
the legislature who had been un-
friendly to the traffic.
Among other things Mr.. Fan
ming said, Convict labor is a
problem to the workingmen. Shut
up the saloons and you will abol-
ish convict labor, for seventy-6ve
per cent. of the convicts were
made conyicts by liquor.
1--WE shut our foreign paupers
from the country, and it is well
to do so; but we allow. the sa-
looms to go right ahead making
paupers of our native laborers.
Every man who loses his job
because of drunkenness, every
man reduced in rank because of
use of liquor, added to the army
of men looking for jobs, and an
lrishmen told me once that when
there are two men looking for
one job it means hard times.
Saloons don't make business.
men who spend their money in
saloons take it out of other chan
nels of trade; they decrease their
earning capacity and consequent~
ly diminish their buying capacity.
"If all the millions put into
breweries during the past ten
years had been put into other
lines of industry it would have
been impossible for corrupt poll
tics to put it in the hands of a few
Wall street men to create panic.
The prohibition party is the
only party with a principle. The
Democrats are studying the files
of the Republican papers of 1896
in order to return few compli-
ments. The Republican papers
talked. about hard times under
Grover, and now the Democrats
are going to say the same things
about hard times under Teddy.
It's a great thing to have two
parties that can swap speeches.

Washington, April 23.-All mem

grams from the publishers attending
the annual meeting in New York of
the Associated Press and the News pa
per Publishers association urging ac-
ton on the bill removing the tariff
from print paper and wood pulp and
in reply John Sharp Williams, the
Democratic leader, sent the following:
II join in your protest. Get the
speaker to recognize me or someone

Representative Mann, who is chair

EMP0RiA WILL HELP.
"A Half Hundred Business Men Will
Attend the Gas Blowout in May.

Emporia, Kan, April pa big
delegation of town boosters-forty or
fifty business men, have already slgnl-
fed their intention-and the Emporla
band. will go to Cottonwood Falls and
Strong City, May 6, to help celebrate
the advent of natural gas in those two
towns. The band IS going because 1t
has been hired by the Kansas Gas &
Cement company, while the Emporla
boosters motive Is to let the Kansas
Gas & Cement company know that this
town is waiting for the extension of
sits pipe line.
When the gas company decided to
pipe it's product to Cottonwood Falls
and Strong City, 1t had Empori4 in
mind and bought a pipe so big that
the main to this town can be h1tched
to the pipe that conveys the gas from
the Elmda1e fields to Strong City. A
line to Emporia from the Elmdale gas
fields will really be an extension of the
Strong City pipe line.
George Broadwell, manager of the
Emporia Artificial Ice & Coal Storage
company said today:
ct don't know much about gas, but
we all know there is a crying need for
gas in Emporia, and If this company
from Elmdale has the goods we want
it. And I believe it has gas" con-
tinued Mr.. Broadwell, "for it seems to
be delivering it to its consumers, and
that is all anyone can ask.
ct intend to go to Strong City and
Cottonwood Falls when that celebra-
ton comes off, and boom the building
of a pipe line to Emporia."
When the celebration at Strong City
and Cottonwood Falls is held. it is the
plan of the company to put large
pipe in the air and ignite it, so that
the blaze may be seen for miles In
every direction. 1t will be possible to
see the blaze at night from Emporia.-

FOR A FIRELEss COOKER.
The Army at LeavenwOrth Will Make
/ Test Soon.

Leavenworth, Kan, April "a
Word has been received at the Post to
the effect that the war department
would shortly furnish the Third squad
ron of the Thirteenth cavalry with a
model of the new "Fireless Cooker
with view to that organization max
ing a thorough test of the new inven-
ton.
The stove, or range, as it is COM
monty called. will be used in practice
marches during the summer and the
field maneuvers also, for the prepara-
ton of food for all the troops on the
march. 1t was not learned who in
vented the cooking apparatus in guess
ton, but presumably it is the same
type of range as has been invented by
Captain George E. Stockle of the
Eighth cavalry, which apparatus was
on exhibition at the schools last fall
1t appeared to be a very unique
labor saving and compact affair, which
requires a four-mule team to haul
from place to place. .
There are fourteen other organiza-
lions throughout the country to make
tests similar to the one to be made by
the cavalry here. The Sixth field artil-
lery at Fort Riley will make the test
at that post. The apparatus is ex-
pected to arrive at the Post some time
this week.
