Kidna pped Girl Found
in North Dakota

The mysterious disappearance 0g
the little a-yearsold daughter of w
d Hartman from a school house
north Of Lake Herman last winter
has been partially solved BY the dis
covery OF the girl Ii the possession
OF Mrs, William Sandman III North
Dakota. It will be remembered that
the little girl got excused from school
about the middle of the afternoon and
was tracked some distance to d point
where she was apparently taken into
a buggy and spirited away all ef-
forts OF the father and authorities ao
llocate the child had proved fssils tss
within the past few days Mr. Harri-
man has kept up a relentless search
all summer. Some weeks ago he was:
led to suspect that the child was be-
ing concealed at the Sandman homes
on the Massiker place, some seven
miles northwest Of Madison, It now
develops that Mrs. Sandman took the
child and left for North Dakota near
Goodrich some six weeks ago. Sheriff
Butts left for North Dakota early In
the week and this morning sent II.
wire stating that he would arrive in 4
Madison tomorrow with the woman
and the child. u
Mrs. Sandman is d daughter OF Ed

on 9 farm adjoining The one occupied
BY Mr., Hartman. How the little girl.

sThe fact that the missing girl has
been found and Is all right is great
relief and a source of satisfaction

own mother, now deceased, was il
daughter Of William Hatch OF this
city and sister OF Burt Hatch OF

contended that the child must be alive

TEACHING TRUTH INDIRECTLY.

It WAS with reason and q purpose that
The TINES printed yesterday u somewhat
extended report of an anii-vvisectlon speech
delivered the day before III front OF the
Rockefeller Institute by one JOSEPH A. Dow
LING, Il Nassau Street lawyer, who intro
duced himself to the assembled and inter
ested urchins of the neighbourhood as one
who had ben pleading the cause of dogs
and cats for twenty-five years. Judging
from the remarks made on this OCCASION, the
blending done during that long period very
brilliantly illustrated ccuracy and logic as
understood by the opponents Of animal ex-
Fermentation.
All of MI. Dowling's statements were
equally false i'll premise and conclusion,
and 80 obvious was this peculiarly that all OK
cept the very youngest Of the boys and girls
when he addressed must have been inspired
with a new respect for the men working IN
the building before Which the speech was
made. Perhaps u few babes but recently
out Of arms were frightened by the picture
be drew of wild eyed and bloodthlrsty sclen-
lists, gathering with knives in their hands
about a suppIicating dog and sIashing Mt
his protesting flesh as often as they could
reach it. The others, however, must have
known, or must have been told by the first
sane and truthful person whom they ques-
toned on the subject, that nothing even re-
motely like this horrible spectacle ever was
seen in the Rockefeller Institute or nny SIM
lar place that the operations performed
there on animals are not only of necessity
painless, but that from such operations so
much knowledge has been gained that num-
berIess boys and girIs-not to mention
grown-ups and It good many dogs and cats
have escaped suffering and death.
Our neighbour, The Herald, SayN that Mr..
Dowling's utterances made d deep impress
sion on bis hearers. One can hope and even
believe so. Nobody of ordinary intelligence
and the east side rather speciAlzss IN
sbrewdness-cou!d have failed to see that
if this was ali that could be said for anti
vivisectiop, its case was either r1dlcnlousiy
or outrageously bad, according to the point
of view. That the "deep impression MI
Bowling made might not be confined to
those who heard him WAS the reason Tor re.
porting bis speech. What better defence OF
expe,inents on animals by competent BIO
loeists and Psychologists can there be than
diffusion of the knowledge that 1t can DC at
tackled only by what, in charity, shall be
called unintentlonal misrepresentation! Oer-
tainly that is the only Weapon ever uSeo
against it.-N. Y. Times, |~Iy I0h.
