LOST MOTHER MYSTERY
ENDED BY A PICTURE
resident of Redlands Recognizes q
Photo Taken Many Years
Ago.

San Diego, March 21.- Recogniz-
ing a photograph Of a two year old
infant as one of her daughters taken
nearly forty years ago, Mrs. Sadie
RroWnell, wealthy resident of Red
lands, Cal, wept with JOY in the city
hall today. The child had been sto-
len from her she declared, two
weeks after the photo had been TAX
en-, by it's father, John Shirk, in Da-
kota territory. From that time on
she had never been able to find a
trace of her daughter
Recently the daughter, now Mrs.
Alfred Hagerty Of Cleveland, learned
for the first time from her father
that her mother was not dead, as
she supposed. She at once began
advertising throughout the country
for trace of her mother and sent
circulars broadcast to police and de-
tective departments. A friend of
Mrs. Brownell saw one of the ad-
vertisements a few days ago, anu
notified Chief of Police Shay, who
brought about the identification.
Mrs. Hagerty telegraphed that she
would start for California at once

Chicago, ILL.,, March 81 To per-

with financial interests in London
and Liverpool regarding the invest

shown some hesitation toward this
phase of American investments, but
the beginning of change in atti-
tude was shown recently when it was
announced here that Joy Morton,

York financier, had interested Lon.

SHOW-ME DISTRICT
is DOING WELL
Joplin Mines Reported to be Show
ing Up Well Under the
Drill.

Joplin, Mo, March 2O.-Two drill
holes put down by Cooper and Peters
on 14-acre lease of the st. Louis
Joplin link and Lead company's
land at Chitwood, have penetrated a
remarkably rich deposit Of zinc ore
which, interested parties claim, will
run 25 per cent in metallic contents
in spots, while the whole body
shows a percentage of about 25 per
cent ore.
Coming as it does at a time when
development on this land has proven
the ability of an old-time mining
tract to come back" the prospects
for even heavier production from the
land are bright.
Cooper and Peters are south of
the Joplin-Kentucky mine, which has
bbeen consistent producer and
which has worked ore almost contin-
uously from the 6O-foot level down
to $50 feet. The ore found in the
drill holes is of exceptionally high
grade jack and begins at the 100
foot level, extending down to 1872
feet. The ore found here is believ-
ed to be a continuation of the ore
found in the Joplin-Kentucky, which
takes southwest to northeast
course across the tract. The com
pany also has two shafts into ore
from which turn-ins have been
made, the ore beingg cleaned on
hand jigs. However, the new drill
strikes have the appearance of be-
Ing rich enough to warrant the cree,
ton of modern concentrating
plant.

MAN FOUND IN RIVER.

Sioux City. Ia, March 21.-In ar
advanced stage of decomposition the
oody or John S. HAMA, aged 33, OF
BURBANK, was found yesterday noon
on the south bank of the Missouri
river two miles below Sergeant Bluff
by Milton Clark. Coroner j. E,
Graver was notified and the body
was taken to Wescott's morgue,
where Identification was established
by means Of tax receipts to consider
able property, including a farm in
South Dakota and considerable Sioux
City real estate.
From indications the body had
been in the river for about six
weeks. 1t is thought the body was
frozen in the ice at some point far
up the river and floated down when
the ice broke up. With the exception
OF being coatless the man was dress
ed for cold weather. AS there are
no marks on the body it is thought
he met death by drowning. He was
known in Sioux City and it is said
he was subject to mild form of
epilepsy.
A warranty deed was found in his
pocket for lot 2, block 6, Eden Park
addition, an addition to Sioux City.
1t was dated January l, 1907. Twen-
ty-tive cents was all the money found
in his pockets. An effort to locate
his relatives is being made. The cor
oner will hold an inquest.

OBJECT TO PAYING
$575,OOO FINE.

Atlanta, Ca, March 21.- United
States Commissioner Colquitt today
resumed the hearing on the applica-
ton of Benjamin D. Greene and
John F. Gaynor for leave to take the
pauper's oath and swear off the
$4,000 fine, which was part of
the penalty imposed upon them for
their part in the Savannah harbor
frauds. The two men have complet-
ed their prison sentences but free
dom has been denied them pending
the settlement of the fine. Both
Greene and Gaynor contend that
that they are now penniless, and
have no money with which to pay the
enormous fine. The department of
justice, on the other hand, declares
it's belief that the two men have a
large fortune secreted and conse-
Quently should not be permitted to
escape of their fines by taking the
paupers' oath.

POST OFFICE CLERKS
TO REST
Sioux Falls Employees of Uncle Sam
Would Have Sunday Off.

Sioux Falls, S. d., March 21.-Be-
lieving that the general public is
with them in their effort to secure
Sunday as day of rest, the mail
clerks and carriers in the Sioux
Falls post office put the question to
popular vote recently, receiving an
overwhelming vote in favor of Sun
day closing:
The following facts were placed in
the hands of the patrons of the Sioux
Falls post office:
Is your Sunday mail an absolute
necessity or only a custom?
About fifty men are engaged in
collecting, sorting, and delivering
mail each Sunday, working from 4
to hours.
At least two-thirds of this work
could be eliminated if the office was
closed.
Do you believe in six days of work
and one of rest? BY voting no On
this proposition you compel us to
break the third commandment.
A personally letter would help i'm
mensely.
Detroit, Mich, New Haven, Mich,
Evanston, ILL.,, and Saltwater, Mimi,
have already instituted this reform.
Although the vote appears to be
almost unanimous in favor of clos
ing the postoffice on Sunday. there
is strong minority composed most
ly Of commercial travellers, who in
sist that the Sunday closing would
be detrimental to their interests.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
made statement hat the post Off
ces can be closed if local sentiment
is in favor of it. The vote taken by
the mail clerks was done in order to
find out the sentiment of the people
of Sioux Falls.

Not long since. Elder William Tay-

years of age and the following lines
are the tribute paid him by the son,
viii Maupin, who is prominently
connected with Bryan's Commoner.
My Father.
AS falls the night upon the sleeping

So fell on you the last eternal
sleep;
AS comes the light of glistening
stars unfurled,
So came to you the joys supreme,

aside,
Finished your course, your weap-
ons all laid down.
At last the goal upon the other side;
The words, "Well DONE" for you
the Christians crown
Sleep, sweetly sleep, within thy
narrow bed,
Father, comrade, Of the long gone
years.
Sweet bloom the flowers and fra
GRANGE widely spread
About thy grave, now hallowed
by our tears.
Warm blow the winds and softly
fall the rain;
Unmarried the SHOWS upon thy
sacred mound.
God gave, and in His time took back
again
To where celestial joys in full
abound.
Sleep, father, sleep; you won not
only rest,
But rich reward for duty nobly
done;
Sturdy and staunch as yonder noun
tain crest
You fought the fight, and glorious
victory won.
Stilled that true heart and hushed
thy gentle voice;
Cold now that once strong, tender
helpful hand.
Yet though we mourn, the angels
must rejoice
To welcome you, so strong, so
true, so grand.

HAPLESS HOPPE
OUT IN THE COLD
Billiard Shark in Bad in Paris on
Account of Betting Angle.

Paris, March 21.- The police
nave refused to modify the order
forbidding Willie Hoppe, the young
American billiard player to give ex-
additions here and it is believed he
has left for the United States. The
trouble grows out of his having
played in games in which betting
was done when he was here before.
Calvin Demarest of Chicago con-
tinues to play but he is worried lest
the police include him in the drastic
order. IN many quarters it is believ-
ed that Hopes troubles were caused
by jealousy between local billiardists
who own rival halls.
