MANY CLAIM The
$1,000 REWARD

NEW YORK, April 29-Claimants
for the $4,000 reward offered by AL
bert E. Boas, the rich manufacturer.
for the finding of his young daughter,
Adele, are already appearing in num-
bers. 1t Is not probable, however,
that the reward will be paid, as the
girl, who returned to her home yes
terday afternoon, declares that she
found herself, and that when she saw
in the Boston newspapers that her
father had offered a reward she de-
termined to save him the expense,
and started voluntarily on her way
to New York.
Possible claimants of this reward
are Mrs. Elizabeth E. Upton, of
Charlestown, Mass, in whose reStaur-
ant Adele worked one day, and who
notified the New York police of her
suspicious as to the girls identity;
Adolph ]. Holescher, a Boston book
binder, who recognized her at the
railroad station in Boston while she
was waiting for train for New York,
and whom she repulsed, and various
detectives who intercepted her on the
Boston express en- route to New
York.
At every station where the train
stopped professional and amateur de-
tectives boarded it, and, while the
girl evaded some of them by assumin
a dialect and otherwise denying her
identity, other quickly picked her ont
as the missing girl. The offering oil
the reward was a powerful incentive
to find her.
Mr.. Boas contends THAI no one

her home, but that she, on discover
ing the anxiety she had caused art
desiring to save her father the add
tional expense Of the reward, hat
started for her home and paid hel
own railroad fare.

terday by John K. Segrave, formerly
manager of the export grain depart
ment of Steinhard & Co., of this city,
but now associated with the grain firm
of J. Sidney Smith & Son., of Kansas
City.
There have been few movements
in the West which have met with
such a ready response from CONNER
cial interests as the movement to re-
vive river traffic between Kansas City
and st. Louis, and between Kansas
City and the entire Mississippi River
territory" said Mr.. Segrave. THE
proposition to form a million dollar
company to put this idea into effect,
although made only recently, Is now
practically worked out. An indica-
ton of how readily the commercial
interests responded is shown by the
fact that two Kansas City men alone
subscribed for 100000 of the stock
of the new company, and the CONNER
cial National Bank gave one of the
floors Of it's building, rent free, to
the enterprise. Walter S. Dickey, the
president and managing director OF
the company, was one Of those who
subscribed $4,000, and the citw OF
Kansas City itself has agreed to pay

CARRIE nation
BURIES Ratchet

HARRISON, Ark, April 29.-With
money derived, it is claimed, from
the sale of souvenir hatchets she has
sold during her campaign througa the
streets and slums in behalf of the
temperance cause, Carrie Nation, the
Kansas lecturess and champion sa-
loon smasher, has purchased an eX-
tensive tract of land in this (Boone)
county, where she expects to pass
the remainder Of her days. Poultry,
pigs, pigeons, peas and the famous
Boone county apples will be raised in
quantity by Mrs. Nation, according to
the announcement Of her agent, who
completed the deal.
The "Kansas Cycloness," according
to the best information, has been pre-
vailed upon to move from her pres
ent home by persuasion from CON
Harvey, who located in Arkansas I'll
er his noted "sixteen-to-one" cam
paign years ago, which featured the
first presidential essay from William
Jennings Bryan.
It is also believed that the pure
mountain air in this vicinity, com
bined with the sober atmosphere anc
abundance of crystalized water in
Boone county, caused Mrs. Nation tt
abandon the wheat belt in Kansas
for the less strenuous life here. L
is said her anti-saloon campaign ha'
