WILD GIRL IS A BOY AFTER ALL ,
.Disgusting Attraction Which Was in
Norfolk During Firemen's Tour
nament , Unveiled.
The following story from Webster-
City , Iowa , probably concerns the
wild girl attraction which was in
Norfolk during the firemen's tourna
ment and which was mentioned by
The News at that time as a feature
-which ought to bo suppressed :
Hundreds of persons staring In
awe at Hong Bong , the wild girl , as
.she bit off the heads of live rattle
:8imkcs : at the county fair , were horrified
rified to see Ed Stolp , an East Fort
Dodge teamster , leap fearlessly into
the den of hissing rattlers and grab
.the savage pigmy by the collar. With
affrighted faces they turned away ,
.anticipating that the man would bo
torn to pieces , when a fearful yell
.assailed their ears.
A moment later their attention
was attracted by a spanking sound
And they were surprised to see the
teamster with the savage wild girl
over his knee administering a sound
spanking with the flat of his hand.
The shock-headed girl , captured in
.the wilds of the island of Borneo ,
Tvho all day long had been tearing
savagely at raw and bleeding meat ,
.snapping off heads of rattlesnakes
and tearing great chains in two in
angry fury , was seen to have become
suddenly tamed. With Intuition
born only of long experience , the
hump-backed swart little savage was
.seen to place its hands behind its
back to ward off the teamster's lusty
whacks. Its grunts of savage ignor
ance suddenly changed to wails that
sounded fearfully like , "Don't pa.
dud-dud-don't. "
The audience which had heretofore
been awed and frightened at the
fearful grimaces and feats of strength
of the savage suddenly began to
smile.
The wild girl turned out to be the
14-year-old son of Ed Stolp. He had
run away from home two months
ago and had not been seen by his
parents since. At Minneapolis the
boy had fallen in with showmen and
they had persuaded him , with prom
ises of future glory and a big sal-
'ary , to eat raw meat and dally with
lancless rattlers for the dimes of the
tillable public.
The boy after being soundly
spanked in sight of all was taken to
the county jail and locked up by
the irate father , who swore ho
would frighten htm thoroughly boV
fore effecting restoration to the fam
ily circle.
Next morning when the jail was
opened the boy was nowhere to be
found. In a mysterious manner he
had escaped through the Iron bars.
Jt Is said by the night owls of the
1
city that a hack drove up to the jail
at midnight and that a boy was soon
to enter and bo driven rapidly off.
Mr. Stolp has again lost his boy
and he says ho is positive that the
lad ran away with the showmen to
become Hong Uong , the wild girl ,
once more. The lad is small of sta
ture and woazonod. When stained ,
painted and clad in the skins of
wild animals ho presented a most
formidable appearance.
The lad In tolling his story to his
companions in the jail said that ho
had been hired to impersonate a girl
at a salary of $100 a month. His
whole body had boon stained with
walnut juice. Ho had then boon
painted up , celluloid fangs attached
to his teeth and a llory red wig
placed upon his head.
Died.
Frank Karl , oldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Hyorly , died October 3 ,
1903 , aged 2 years , 9 months and 9
days. Ho was' sick lint thirteen
hours and everything was done that
medical skill could do , but was of
no avail and after a few short hours
\ of suffering death came to his re
lief. He was a very bright , happy
child , and loved by all who Umnv
him and watt the mmMilnn of the
homo It IB a sad blow to his
heart-broken parents , also to all
the relatives , an he was dearly loved
by thorn all especially bin grand
mother ho was her darling. Fu
neral services wore conducted by
Rov. .1. H. Clay at the Find Daptlst
church on Sunday and the remains
laid to rest In Prospect Hill ceme
tery.

How a Nebraska Town Cut
Out the Mail Order Business ,
NOW KEEPING TRADE AT HOME
Nebraska City Tribune Lenrns and
Divulges n Few Pertinent Facts on
Advertising One Town has Found
a Paying Venture.
A prosperous looking farmer drove
away from the H. & M. depot yester
day and In the bed of his wagon could
ho seen two large bores bearing the
forwarding card of a widely known
Chicago linn who makes a special
feature of the mall order business.
A number of men were standing on
the platform at the passenger sta
tion and one of them remarked the
farmer anil the two boxen of mer
chandise.
"That , " ho said , "Is what Is killing
our business. Wo little fellows In
the small towns can't afford to com
pete with those big gnus. They buy
HO cheap that they can sell for loss
than It costs us to get the goods. "
"I don't believe II , " remarked an
other man. " 1 tried It once and by
the time I paid for the goods , paid
the freight and had them brought
to the house 1 was out a few cents
more than It would have cost me at
home. " "That man in the wagon
wouldn't hellovo that , " remarked a
third man. "Ho thinks he Is way
ahead of the home merchant and the
reason Is not far to seek. Ho sees
In almost every paper that ho picks
up that Smith , Jones & Co. sell
everything at a bargain until In the
course of time Bargains and Smith ,
loues & Co. have become Identical
terms In his mind. The secret of
Ills buying trom the great centers Is
that ho sees those houses advertised
not at certain seasons but all the
time. "
"Down at our town we found that
the encroachment of the mail order
liousos was cutting a big hole In our
annual receipts and wo began lookIng -
Ing Into the matter. The result was
that wo began using prlntor'a ink
not sparingly , but lavishly and we
kept it up. Other merchants fol
lowed our example and today I'll
bet my hat there Is less money sent
out of town than from any place of
similar slxe in the west. " "Did It
pay ? " "Of course It paid. At llrst
we hail no trouble In getting all the
space we wanted In our local paper ,
lint now wo find that to get an ex
traordinary si/.ed space we must
speak for it weeks In advance. Ad
vertising has paid mo and my neigh
bors so well that wo are fighting one
another for a chance to do moro of
It. "
And that man was telling the
truth. He came from a small town
not far from Nebraska City and the
local paper on our exchange table
attests to the truth of his claim.
That the great mall order houses are
doing an Immense business through
out the country there Is no doubt
anil tlie experience of a few isolated
communities shows conclusively that
the only way to offset their influence
is to advertise ! Advertise ! ! Ad
vertise ! ! ! Keep It up spring , sum
mer , fall and winter early and Into ,
and the trial sheet at the year's end
will show that your business has in
creased and that your course has
been one of wisdom. Nebraska City
