SAvORS OF
A KIDNAPPING
Terressia johnson Missing
for a Week.
A RANSOM IS DEMANDED
Relatives Told to Send
Money to Toledo.
Pretty Sixteen Year-Old Girl OF
Green Camp Cannot be Located,
But Is Believed to be Either In
Toledo or Detroit With Abduct-
ors.

Terressia johnson, the pretty SIX
Iteen-year- daughter of Mr.. ana
Mrs. Hiram Johnson, of Green Camp,
who failed to return to her work at

Bricker, also of Green Camp, last
Saturday has. mysteriously disappear
ed the only clue to her whereabouts
being letter sent from Toledo by
| her supposed abductors The letter
sent to Miss Inez Johnson, demanding
a ransom as the price of her return
follows:
"If YOU wish to gain information
about your sister send money to To-
ledo,"
| IL is signed by Ross. No stipulated
sum is given and no address is at
tached. The writing is almost scrawl
and the spelling is extremely bad. The
names of both sisters are mspelled,
showing the writer could not have
been Terressia herself, unless she Is
voluntary conspirator and used this
method to mislead her sister
Last Saturday Miss Johnson came
to Marion, but did not call on her
lsister, Miss Inez Johnson, an en-
ploye of Neidig's restaurant who
lives In flat over the Anthony laun-
dry. She talked to her sister over the
telephone, informed her that she was
hound for LaRue to visit friends for
o few days. After ringing off Miss
Inez remembered n pair Of glasses
her sister had brought her from home
and sent n friend to the Union sta
tion to get them. The Johnson girl
seemed considerably annoyed at the
appearance of the friend and acted
so queerly that he concluded some
thing must be wrong. When she pur-
chased her ticket she spoke in
very low voice, as If afraid of being
heard. Later the friend snatched the
ticket from her hands and saw 1t
was passage to Toledo. He demanded
,an explanation, but the girl extracted
a promise that he would not tell her
secret. He became worried and told
the Toledo story to Inez Johnson who
Immediately communicated with her
parents.
At the Briclier home n letter was
found i'm which the girl told of her
intention to leave and gave as her
reason for secrecy that she might be
detained. A letter mailed to her sister
contained the information that she
would meet her friends Mr.. and Mrs
James Ross in Toledo, and would go
with them to Detroit and then to
some place in Illinois.
The Ross people have been secretly
entertaining the girl for the past two
weeks. None of her family or friends
met them, but she seemed to be en-
tirely wrapped up in the pair. One
week ago, Saturday she came to
Marion, ostensibly to meet n friend
who had been attentive to her, Mr..
Lowell Landon, of Moral. She did not
meet I.andon, but instead spent Satur
day night and Sunday with the Ross
es. Her sister rcbuked her for taking
up with strangers, but she declared
she had known Mrs. Ross when she
was single and worked in a match
factory in Ashland. Mr.. Ross, she
declared had offered her better and
easier work, and advised her against
wasting her life in a rube town.

friends of the girl that she was uiS-
satisfied with her work and the limi-
tations of n small town. She was
pretty of face and attractive of figure
with an abundance of dark brown
hair and great dark brown eyes of Il
peculiar glowing and intent express
sion. Naturally such q girl did not
lack admirers and her frequent trips
to Marion served to increase her con-
fidence in her ability to attract. TO
her sister she repeatedly expressed
her intention to seek a more worldly
and less restricted field. Her tenden-
cy to meet strangers was the subject
of many heated conversations between
the two, the sister always persuading
the younger girl to return to her
home. Doubtless this is the cause
of her secret departure.
Eve are expecting a letter by every
mail stating an address to which the
ransom can be sent said Inez john
son when interviewed this morning
"The police of Toledo and Detroit are
watching every boat and train. We
fear she is the victim OF white slave
traders, since nothing can be learned
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Ross. The Of
ficials of these two cities have ex-
pressed like belief, and her mother
is prostrated over the awful possibili-
w. We hope she is safe. but the
ransom letter calls fourth grave

HOBBLE SKIRT DOOMED;
WHAT'S ITS SUCCESSOR
Long, Narrow Dress, Artlsticaily Cut
Medieval Shades Are To
Prevail.

LONDON, Oct. 4-The hobble skirt
has been doomed for long time, but
the question that has been on the lips
of most women thinking OF autumn
gowns has been concerned with the
width OF the new skirt. II can be
stated with authority that the new
skirts shall be long, narrow and be-
coming when artistically cut.
Evening gowns will be quite long.
but severely simple as regards line.
One exquisite mode shown to fashion
reporter was of yellow brocade, EN-
broidered with gold It was fashioned
to resemble two long square panels,
back and front, which opened at the
sides over a satin underdress, the two
edges of the panel beng caught to-
gether with an exquisite cabochon
worked In colored stones an ddrops.
A feature of the new materials is
their exquisite softness. Brocades are
OF the consistency of chiffon, and vel
vet IL as fine. For coloring dress
makers are going back to the lovely
medieval shades OF blue, which re-
mind one of the soft rich blues that
one sees in old stained glass win
dows.
Blue is to be the color this winter
blue in every shade, except the very
pale ones, and the smart woman must
wear everything to match. blue stock
ings and blue suede shoes. Quiet
tones are to predominate, but there
are some rich colorings also. and one
displayed that was exceedingly lovely
was a blac kand aubergine shot vel
vet. trimmed with heavy black SIX
cabochons and having an underskirt
of aubergine cloth.

STARTS PRAIRIE FIRE
WITH SPECTACLE LENS
Rsnchman So Accused Always Miles
Away When Flames Begin to
Destroy Property.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Accused
OF starting many disastrous ranch
fires, Henry Clay, San Diego ranch
man, has been placed on trial In the
federal court.
These fires always started when he
was miles away and in a position to
present an alibi, and the ranchmen
came to look upon him with supersti-
tious awe and long refused to TESTIFY
against him.
At the recent big fire at Jamui,
however, federal detectives found two
of his alleged traps" These were
old spectacle lenses, arranged on
wires so that the suns rays would
focus on matches and leaves and start
the blaze.
Clay was traced to both traps by
reason of his horse having a deform-
ed foot. Feeling in the valley Is very
intense against him.

OSBORN AND HEMANS
SHAKE HANDS AT THE 500
Rival Candidates Have Friendly Talk
-Hemans Talks To Big Crowd
In City Hall.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct.
4.-Lawton T. Hemans, candidate of
the Democrats, and Chase s. Osborn,
candidate of the Republicans of
Michigan for governor, met in the
500, yesterday, and exchanged greet
ings. The meeting was on the street
after Osborn had called at the hotel
Hemans was stopping at for the pur-
pose OF extending welcome to his
opponent. Osborn's greeting to the
Democratic candidate was cordial and
he expressed himself as pleased that
he had not omitted the 500 in his
itinerary of the northern peninsula
Hemans responded that he did not
come to the 500 to persuade Repub-
licans and personal friends of Osborn
to vote against their home candidate,
but to present his views on the ques-
tions affecting the people of Michigan
as matter of justice to the party he
represented
Mr.. Hemans addressed a large au-
dience in the city hall. He said he
came to the 500 in a spirit of friend
ship and with the kindliest feeling
for the Soos DISTINGUISHED and hon.
ored citizen and could not speak in
anything but praise of him as a man,
but during his talk of nearly two
hours he never referred to the Re
publican candidate by name. His
speech was along the same lines as
the one he delivered in Grand Rapids,
with all personal references to Os-
born omitted. He denied that he had
come to the north country to stir up
sectional strife and said his aim was
rather to cement the people of the
northern and southern peninsulas
than to tear them apart. Hemans
was introduced by F. T. Mcdonald.
Democratic candidate for the legisla-
ture.

There was not thing he was told
to do that he did not do. from recfting
his high school graduating essay to an
admiring crowd of sophs to applying

IN HYPNOTIC STATE
NAMES DISEASES
Kentucky Man Said by Doctor To
Possess Marvellous, Inexplicabls
Psychic Powers.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY, Otc. 4.-The
paper of DR.. w. II. Ketchum OF this
city which was read before the Amer
lean Association for Clinical Research
at Boston, In which he described the
wonderful psychic power possessed by
Edgar Cayce, a young photographer
or this place In diagnosing diseases
while under a self-imposed hynotic
spell, has caused wide discussion In
medical circles throughout the coun-
try. DIR. Ketchum did not give the
name OF the young man in his paper,
but as soon as people heard OF II they
readily recognized the description as
being the work OF Mr.. Cayce, who has
already achieved more than local fame
thereby. DR.. Ketchum has known OF
Mr.. Cayce and his work for more than
two years and has had him diagnose
nearly a hundred cases without fail
ure. Other doctors readily testify &c
similar experiences and others grudg
ingly admit there Is something to II
but class 1t with quackery and refuse
to give II their approval.
Mr.. Cayce has been conscious OF his
peculiar power for about eight years
and during that time has diagnosed
probably a thousand cases, presenting
all types Of disease. So far as these
have been followed out he has never
made complete failure unless II
came about through a confusion Of
names Mr.. Cayce works in this way
He will lie down on bed or couch
anywhere and by concentrating his
mind produce a deep hypnotic sleep
When this condition is produced some
one, generally his father, reads to him
the name and address of the patient
without further details as to such per
son or the disease. Many times Mr
Cayce has gone into the spell without
any idea as to the patients or where
they live. In a few seconds he begins
talking and in clear, positive tone
tells to the minutest detail the trouble
with the person, his remarks being re
corded by stenographer.
He is entirely without medical edu
cation, yet he describes the most com
plicated organs of the body, the merry
Gus system, the circulation, etc., al
ways using the exact physiological
designation. Yet when he Is awak'
ened he Is amazed at the long and
difficult words he has used and laugh.
ingly processes his ignorance OF how
they are spelled or what they mean
Awake he knows absolutely nothing
about anatomy or diseases.
Recently he diagnosed the case OF
young woman in Cleveland. The day
before the transcript OF the reading
reached Cleveland, an operation was
performed on the patient and the
surgeon wrote verifying the correct
ness of Mr.. Cayce's diagnosis.
Mr.. Cayce will not disclose names OF
his patients for newspaper use, but Is
always willing TO submit them or him
self to doctors for Investigation. he
Is 81 years of age. He uses his pow
or only when called upon and taking
such remuneration as lis given him
DR.. Ketchum has implicit faith In
him and has done all he can TO AT
tract the attention OF the progressive
medical profession to the work. Even
Mr.. Cayce says he does not know JUST
what the powre is, but he knows wna'
he can do. He lives here with his
father L. b. Cayce, an insurance man
He is married and has one child.
