The American Boy in Hiatory. In America, Hldney I-nnler and How ard Pyle have taken the lead In re leasing boys from the bondage of false Ideals of heroic adventure. Miss Al oott was one of the first American writers who dared to make boys and girls human; to Mary Majes Dodge belongs the honor of first In a story for children so subordinating geogra phy and history to color and atmos phere and both to the boy who Is her hero that her delighted reader won lent when he gets to Holland why he feels as If this Is his second or third visit there. Pluck, patriotism, energy, loyalty, In dependence, and uncompromising re volt from moral priggish ness and con ventional sentiment are the national Ideals of character which the English and the American boy In fiction stand for to-day.

Lynching is a crime against tbe law both of God and man.

"Under tbe law we know what our rights are, and In tbe main we find that they are fairly attained and en- forced. No human laws or human in stitutions are perfect, ibis no reason able man would expect. 'Lynching and mob law, their pro moters and eocouragers, wnetuer they be of high or low degree, shout I fctlve no favors at tbe hands of thoughtful and patriotic men. Thre must be government or uoo-goveru-ment. Tbe Ine of cleavage is clear. AU history teaches that tbe prevaiance of mob law Is the end of free government.

Tbe reading of tbe verdict did not aff ct Jett, but bis brothet was very much distressed. His mouth quiver ed and be slowly turned pale.

Sat urday night different posses worked on different clues and Sunday morning saw tbe demolition of every theory. Considerable confidence was felt lo the clue given by tbe trail taken up near tbe farm of Rudolph Soauer, northeast uf town, but wben run down it proved to be tbe track of a farmer near Lawrence who bad been looking forstiayed cattle. Sbe'iff McArthur and Dectectlvi Franklin were working upon another theory. A team of horses were stol en fr m tbe farm of M. M McConkey four miles west of Oowels. Tbe Ma lone bounds, after getting tbe scent from Madison's clothing, tracked blm on tbe way from Inavale Into McConkey'a pasture and into th barn, where two bridles were stolen, then out of tbe gate and down the road north to tbe corner about s quarter of a mile. Evidently tbo man hud walked on tbe road and had ed tbe horses in the grass beside him. Where the road runs to tin east from the corner the tracks ol the horses could be seen and the hounds lost Madison's trail where b mounted. To this information the officer! added the knowledge they bad ol Thursday's occurence near Bladen Here Manlson rode In a wagon about eighty rods with a farmer named Loraine Ilyatt, and tried to induct the latter to take hlra to vieloity d Deweese. There, It is known, lives aiiKce of Madison. Evidently be wished to reach there and wben tbe horse stealing occured it was supposed tbat tbe fugitive would make fur tbe vicinity of Leweese. Detective Franklin and Sherifl MacArtbur left the hounds at Cowes ana at once proceeded to the house of the niece. They reached there early this morning but a search did not reveal Madison. They went te Lawrence and later sent a farmer a qualuted wltu tbe niece to search t ie bouse again. Tbelr efforts were again fruitless. Meanwble a avaage was received fr m Guide Rock staling that a man was seen whipping an lmost exhaust eo team, answering to the description ol the stolen horses across tbe line In to Kansas. The Webster county sheriff said this afternoon tbat he did not con nect tbe Guice Rock Incld nt wltb t le stetlltig of McConkey's horses. Defective Franklin aid Sherifl M u'Arthur passed through here this afternoon on tbe way to Red Cloud There is considerable difference of opinion as to whether Madison stole tbe McConkey horses, or whetl.ei they were taken by thieves woiklng under advantage of tbe present excite m nt.
