Republican Primary Election. The republican primary election for the nomination of city officers comes oil ne.\t 'i ue -day. For tho various places there are eighteen or twenty candidates, and all of them hnvo done soma liroly hustling this week-. Kvory part of tho city hap beeu visited and every man likely to support the ticket has been interviewed. There are t.hraa candidates for Major, sievon for Clerk, four for Trei.surer. two for Marshal and two or three each for councilman from the different wards of the city. For Mayor it is Handel. Stilwell and Smith. There is not a irreat deal r.f personal magnetism in either of these three and a number of rcpulicans aro heard muttering about an independent candidate for the place after tho election is over, but muttering may be all it will amount to. Republicans are going to do agroat deal of "whipping in'' this year and will I not be so independent by election ticae as they seem to be now. It looks to many outsiders now that as yet Bandel was in thr lead for Mayor, but then us outsiders do not know it all. I

A KIDNAPED GIRL.

Three Years Ago

Stolen from Her Horn by au Escaped Convict.

A ISra/.i! special «ives the following sad story: "The police to-day made an important arrest in the person of .John Taylor, alias Gardner, who has been living in a rude cabin in an isolated woods I near Cloverland, west of here. Tho police who made the arrest also uuearthod the fact that he has kept a prisoner for six months a pretty lo-ysar-old girl named Bertha Gray. The girl says that last September she met Taylor while she was working at Bollair. O.. and ho promised to take her to her home in

Kansas. She gladly accompanied him but when they reached Terre Haute he, by threats ou her life, compelled her to return to this county where he built hie cabin. Since that time she savs she has been most cruelly treated, Taylor compelling her to acceed to his brutal desires and frequently beat her. When he was arrested he was found to have four revolvers secreted about hiB person. Taylor, who travele under many aliases, is bolicTed to be a noted criminal, an escaped convict from the ColumbuH 1O.1 penitentiary and a much wanted man, and the police regard the catch as a valuable one. The acts that led to his arrest was the result of an organized investigation made by farmers into many stock thefts and laid the crimes at Taylor's door. He is now in jail here and tho girl is being held as a witness against him. She will eventually be sent to her parents' home. Her parents have heard nothing from her since her strange disappearance from Bollair last September, and havo mourned her as dead. The girl seemed almost crazed by joy on being released from the man's clutches.
