MISSING CHURCH
JANIT0R INSANE?
BELIEVED THAT EMIL WALLSCHLA-
GER IS DEMENTED AND WAN
DERING IN COUNTRY.
SEEN IN SOUTH SIDE SALOON.
Had Money in Pockets with Which to
Make Payment On Property-Meets
Non-union Molder.
AFRAID TO COME TO HIS FAMILY?

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 10
Is Emil Wallschlager wandering in the
country west of the city with mind I'M
settled by illness and misfortune, or is
he dead?
The searchers who have been working
out every clue presented to them, have
traced the missing man, who was janitor
of the Unitarian church, to Peterson's
saloon on National avenue near Thirty
third avenue, where he had an argument
with a non-union molder, and the in
formation has been secured that he was
seen on the night of March 8, three
days after his disappearance.
Since then his movements are a closed
book. He was not a drinking man, but
evidence has been found that some of
his former companions, union molders,
got him drunk and that over 800 he
had on his person was dissipated.
Believe Him Insane
1t is believed that Wallschlager awoke
to realization of his misfortune when
the money was spent, and that his mind
became unsettled. He had been very i'll
for long time and he was in no condi-
ton to drink.
He left his home at 261 Pleasant street

Fearman said nothing for a minute or
TWO; at last he exclaimed abruptly, do
you ever bet, Mr.. Rose?"
Certainly not ~ was the Jesuitical re-
ply; for, though Granville Rose never
did NEEDLE with turf matters, though he
had not made a single bet on the forth
coming 1.-Two Thousand" he was yet
aware that Dallison was betting for him !;
albeit he neither knew nor cared to know,
so far, the particulars of the transaction
You can hardly suppose I shall pay
such sum as 10000. Perhaps you will
state what compromise you really intend
to offer me?"
i have none other to propose, than
that you sign Mr.. Denison release of
the mortgage you hold to that amount
upon Glinn."
"Ah, well I am afraid you price the
horse little too high"
Not at all. We value the horse at
$4,000, and the stakes of the two Thou
sand at 5000 more"
And who tells you he is going to win
that racer"
well, you see," rejoined Grenville,
smiling, Eve are guided there entirely by

On his chance, and we have high opin-
ion Of your judgment in such matters"

WALL STREETS LAMB.

Disaster Follows Playing a Game OF
Which One Knows Nothing.
The lamb who thinks he can fitch
money out Of Wall street is permitted
to succeed in his operations only until
he has enough to make it worth tle
while for a professional to get up and
take it from him, says a writer in
Everybody's. What possible chance
has a gambler in such a game as this?
Would he play poker with no chance
Of seeing the cards dealt, or Of know
ing how many cards his opponents
draw, and with more than suspicion
that the cards are marked? Yet he
does worse than that when he deals in
stocks on a margin through the New
York stock exchange. Does he ever
realize that the winnings in the game
played there depend on his own losses,
and that the broker who receives his
money on margin knows, not thinks,
Tor suspects, but knows, that in the
end he will inevitably join the great
majority before him who have played
and lost?
"If it were not against the rules Of
the New York stock exchange" ex-
claimed the head Of legitimate brok-
erage house, I'D bucket every order l
took"
do you mean to say that your GUS
toners are more likely to be wrong
than right in their guesses?" was the
surprised question Of Mr.. Lamb.
Sure" was the reply, with an In
dulgent smile of superior wisdom on
the frank, open face Of the broker.
"a speculator on margin is not only
likely to. lose he is sure to lose. OF
course he sometimes wins, gets on the
right side Of the market, and in a day
or two walks off with $4,000 in his
leans, Do you think he stays away?
Not much! That was too easy; and
the next time he loses his $4,000 of
WINNINGS and as much more besides as
he'll stand for or can raise. Why, this
business we're in is pure gambling and

FRANK eEAL, OF COLO, BRINGS
ACTION AGAINST RELATIVES
FOR $4,000.
CLAIMS THEY CAUSED
HORSE TO KICK HIM
Trio Of 5ears kinsmen came to His
Homo HilariousIy Intoxicated, He
Alleges, Stayed All Night and Their
Conduct at Barn Scared His Horses
Nearly to Death.

Des Moines, Dec. 16.-One grand,
glorious stew" is apt to cost U. S.
Beal, Roy Beal, and Charles Beal, the
sum of $4,000.
Frank Beal has brought suit in the
district court for $4,000 for injuries
ne alleges he sustained by reason of
the fact sthat his relatives came to his
home near Colo, Iowa, in a ''hilariously
iintoxicated' condition and succeeded in
getting him kicked by a gentle horse.
In his petition. Beal states that one
evening, some time ago, the three Beals
came to his home with the avowed in
tention of spending the night. The en-
tire outfit was picked" according to
MS statements; SO picked" in fact,
that he was compelled to assist them
IN stabling their horses in his barn.
The men, ne alleges, condescended to
accompany him to the barn and hold
lantern while he went thru the pro-
cess of removing the harness and put
ting the horses in their stalls His rel
during the proceedings and clapped
their hands and sang in tones that
nearly scared the life out of one of the
plaintiffs horses, which was ordinarily
gentle but not accustomed to such go
ings on. AS he passed out of the stall,
Beal alleges, his horse kicked him and
from the result of the kick, for which
he blames his relatives rather than the
horse, he claims he has nearly lost his
life.
He claims that the accident has
totally disabled him, that since it oc-
CURED he has been compelled to spend
81, 500 for doctors bill, $500 for the SER
vices of nurses, 5000 for board, $50 for
medicines and that twice it has been
necessary for him to submit to a surgi-
cal operation to save his life. Beal
believes his relatives were responsible
for all his troubles and asks that he
be given $4,000 to cover the damages
wrought by their "SouSe"
