The Unknown Young Woman Turrs
Out to be a Toprku Man's Wire.
Special to K.C Times
Nevada, Mo , Jan. 30. Last Wed
nesday a beautiful young woman
about 18 years old, a stranger, ruaJe
her appearance at Clayton, a small
hamlet in this county, on the Mis
souri, Kansas & Texas railroad.
Later in the evening of the same day
she was found lying on a pile of hay I
in a field by Farmer Carl, who lives
seven miles from Clayton. She could
jive no account of beredf, not t-vtn
remembering her name. She was
taken in charge and kindly cared for
till Saturday, when a man, who said
he saw in the Times dispatches an
account of her condition, arrived at
Clayton and claimed her as his wife.
He gave his name as Thomas Verliu
and Topeka, Kan., as his residence.
His story was that his wife had sud
denly become demented and left her
home while be was away. She bad
been gone a week. The woman re
fused to recognize him and at first
refused to go with him. Finally she
cousented reluctantly and they left
on the next train.
To day a man giving his name as
W. J. Stone and Guthrie, Ok , as hie
residence arrived here in quest of
the same woman. He says that his
niece, a teacher in the public schools
at LeRoy, Kan., had been drugged
and abducted on December 24th by
a young Englishman . named J. O
Knoll and that he believed the
yoaner woman at Clayton was his
niece, whom Knoll had deserted
upon finding that she had been more
powerfully affected by the drug than
he had intended.
The Times at once queried its To
neka correspondent on the above
item and received the following re
ply:
Topeka. Kan , Jan. 30. Thomas
Veilin used to keep a restaurant on
Fourth street near the Santa Fe de
pot. He is now running on tbe
Santa Fe road, probably as an en
gineer. He has an insane wife, but
where she is could not be learned.

To V-iect a Horse.
The Rural World gives the follow
ing points to select a horse by:
A horse that has breadth and full
ness between the cars and eyes will
not act mean or hurt a-youe. The
eye should be full and a hazel color
the ears thin and small and point
forward, the face straight with
square muzzle and large nostrils.
The under side of the head should
be well cut under the jaw with jaw
bone broad and wide apart under
the throttle. The back short and
straight and square rump, high with
ers, shoulders set well back, and
broad, but not deep into the chest;
fore feet short, hind legs pretty
straight, fetlccks low down, pastern
joint short, with a round mulish
foot. There are all kinds of horse?,
but the animal that has all thtt
points is almost sure to be sightly,
graceful, good natured ani service
able. Highest of all in Leavening Power.

Oldest Conple in Missouri.
Nevada, Mo, Jan. 30. There
alighted from the southbound M. K.
A; T. passenger train to-day perhaps
the oldest married couple in Mis
souri. They were Mr, and Mrs G.
W Quick of Appleton City and
were on their way to Rich Hill with
their son, W. H. Quick, their home
with all its contents at Appleton
City having been destroyed by fire
last Friday. The old gentleman
was born in Albemarle county, Vir
ginia, in 1794, and has voted for
every nominee of the democratic
party for president, his first vote
being cast for Jamea Monroe, the
fifth president of the United States.
He came to Missouri in hie youth
and was married on his 21st birth
day. She was born in Bowling Green,
Ky., ninety-six years ago cd came
to Missouri with her parents when
she was only 2 years of age. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Quick have been mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal
south nearly sixty years. His mind
is failing him, but both tbe old peo
ple seem to be remarkably well pre
served. Broke Throush the Ice ami Drowned.
Jefferson City, Jan. 29 A dis
tressing accident occurred here this
afternoon. James Davison, a bright
lad of 17 years and a son of Dr. JL
C. Davison, an old and esteemed
physician of this city, was skating
on the river when he broke through
the ice and was drowned. His com
panions endeavored t? save
him but in vain, and a party of men
are now trying to recover the body.
The oung mau was a general favor
ite with all who knew him, and h'
grief-stricken pareuts have universal
sympathy.
