In the 70s Mr Hamblin was em
ployed on the lines west of the river
and In the latter part of 1875 and the
early part of 1876 he was agent at
Lincoln. So early was the service of
Mr. Hamblin with the lines west that
many of the old time employes of the
road cannot remember him as a res
ident of Nebraska, but he has been
known in connection with the lines
east for many years.
The death of Mr. Hamblin will
mako many changes In the offical
line-up of the traffic department, It
is predicted. It is understood that
Mr. Hamblin had been ill ai Pasadena
for some time. State Journal.
Mr. Hamblin was once a resident
of this city, he being employed at that
time In Omaha but living here. Many
of the older railroad men remember

posed to have left Neola yesterday

irate father fallowing them on the
next train. At this city he met Chief
of Police Ralney and gave him a de
scription of the girl and the man she
was supposed to be with. Chief
Rainey remembered seeing the man
in the city several nights ago and
made every possible effort to locate
the couple without success. He did
succeed in getting a possible clue to I
their whereabouts and today the fath

Prof. II. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba,
Recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"Ab long as I can remember my
mother was a faithful user and flrend
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, but
never in my life have I realized its
true value until now," writes Prof.
II. A. Howell, of Howell's American
School, Havana, Cuba. "On the
night of February 3, our baby was
taken, sick with a very bad cold, the
next day was worse and the follow
ing night his condition was desper
ate. He could not lie down and It
was necessary to have him in the I
arms every moment. Even then his
breathing was difficult. I did not
think that he would live until morn
ing. At last I thought of my moth
er's remedy, Chamberlaln"s Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and It af
forded prompt relief and now three
days later, he has fully recovered.
Under the circumstances I would not
hesitate a moment In saying that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and
that only, saved the life of our dear
little boy." For sale by F. G. Fricke

STOLEN BOY
RtTIIRNED
TO PATH
Recovers Lad on Pay-
ment ofS10,Q00.
WOMAN AGTS AS AGENT
Whitla Told to Call at Candy
Store in Cleveland.
REFUSES MO OF OFFICERS.
Kidnaped Son is Sent to Him at
the Hoilenden Hotel.
Cleveland, March 23. Little Willie
Whitla, who has caused the police of
the entire country endless worry since
he was kidnaped from school in
Sharon last Thursday, was returned
to his father at the Hoilenden hotel
here last night. In compliance with
an agreement entered into between
the kidnaped boy's father and an
agent of the kidnapers here, the boy
was placed on a street car on the out
skirts of the city and started to the
hotel shortly after 8 o'clock. Two
boys, G. W. Ramsey and Edward' Ma
honey, recognized the lad on the car,
and. taking him In charge, conducted
him to his father, who was In waiting
according to a prearranged plan which
he had followed at the dictation of the
kidnapers. The boy wandered about
the hotel lobby unannounced for sev-
era! minutes asking bellboys for his
father before the latter knew his son
was in the big foyer. The moment
the anxious parent heard that a
strange boy was in the hotel saunter
lng In an aimless fashion, be rushed
across the lobby, grasped' him in his
arms and smothered his face with
kisses.
Lad Is Disguised,
An attempt had been made to dls
guise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glasses and a large tan cap
which was pulled down over his ears,
and the father said it would have been
difficult to have recognized the boy in
such a garb had he passed him on the
street.
Stripping off the boy's cap and the
smoked glasses, Whitla revealed his
boy's bare head for the first time.
He
lifted the lad high a&ove his head so
that every one might get a good view
of the now famous youngster who
came near to rivaling the "lost Charlie
Rosa" of kidnaped fame.
As soon as he could push his way
through the crowd, Whitla, Sr., went
to his room on the second floor. He
carried the boy in his arms. For sev
eral minutes he was alone in the room
with bis schoolboy son. Then through
the door came these words, spoken by
the father to the boy's mother on the
long distance telephone:
'Oh. mother. I have Willie here In
my arms. He m safe. Glory to uod
mama. It is the happiest night of my
life."
There was a pause. The mother
was pleading for her husband to re
turn the hoy to his home at once.
"I am sorry, mother," Whitla said
I can't get a train out of here until
8 o'clock in the morning. But I will
come home as soon as possible. You
can trust me with him, little mother,
can't you?"
Willie Was Wall Treated.
Willie is in perfect health. He says
he has been well treated and ever
since hli capture has been constantly
Indoors. He believes he was taken
from Sharon to Warren and thence to
Newcastle, Pa. It Is his opinion, ex
pressed In a happy schoolboy way
that he vas In Ashtabula on Saturday
night at th ttme his father was
leave his $10,000 In Flatlron park.
Mr. Whitla said tBat he received
letter from the kidnapers at his home
In 8haroo, saying that if he called at
a confectionery store In the east end
of Cleveland he would be told how to
secure his boy unharmed and "we
fed."
Makes Trip Alone.
Shortly after noon he left Sharon
for Cleveland'. He was unaccompanied.
His immediate family and the private
detectives ho apprised of the propoai-d
secret meeting, but Insisted that he
make the trip alone. Every one of
them was warned that he must be al
lowed to go unheeded and no attempv
at the capture of the kidnapers be
made.
Whitla waH certain tnat If he spoiled
the plms of his son's captors ho would
never see the lad again, his experi
ence at Ashtabula serving as a warn
ing. About 2 p. m. he went to a candy
tore rhe east end. With hi in he
carried (10.000. expecting that It
would be demanded of him there. He
was met by a woman, who detailed to
him the terms of the kidnapers. With
all tho eagerness of a distracted par
ent, WhHla aireed to them immediate-
