mend a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, to be observed

and shortcomings as a people and purify our hearts to see and love the truth
to accept and defend all things that are just and right, and to purpose only
those righteous acts and judgments which are in conformity with His win,
beseeching him that He will give victory to our armies as they fight for tree
dom wisdom to those who take counsel on our behalf in these days of dark
struggle and perplexity, and steadfastness to our people to make sacrifice to
the utmost support of what is just and true, bringing us at last tho peace in
which men's hearts can be at rest, because it is founded upon mercy, justice
and good will.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and cause the seal or tne

friend, and would return in the morn
ing. The neighbor lady at whose
home Miss Glau was spending tho
night wont to Alliance on the 2:30
train Sunday morning and Miss Ulau
for some unknown reason went, with
her. When they reached Allirnce the
jlady whom Miss Glau was accompany
ing met her husband and went witn
him, leaving Miss Glau at the depot.
The girl did not tell her companion
much about her plans, but simply
staid at the depot and said that she
did not know what she was going to
do. The next morning Miss Glau vas
missing and it is not known since
where she went or what she did.
There is some talk about another
young lady In teh easten part of the
state who Is said to have been try
ing to get Miss Glau to come to ber to
live, but not much is known about
that, so the matter remains some
thing of a mystery-
The mother. Mrs. Glau. has asked
that the facts about the girl's dlsap-
perance be published, as it may re
sult In aiding the parents to obtain
some Information as to where their
daughter may be located, and it may
also serve .... a warning to other
mothers to look more closely after
their girls. The warning may well
be taken by parents who allow their
daughters to g owhen and where they
please, paying littl eattentlon to their
doings, and it may save other families
from similar misfortunes. Bayard
