DUPED FRAZER’S FATHER. Bold Scheme of an Atlanta Swind ler Succeeds. Atlanta, Jan. 20. Mr. N. H. Frazer, of Union Springs, Ala., whose son. Bass, was kidnapped several weeks ago while a student at the Technological school here, has apparently lost SSOO by a de coy letter sent him. Mr. Frazer received a letter stat ing that if he would place SSOO in gold, the amount he offered for his son, in a sack with a peck of pota toes and proceed along the road near the United States federal prison, several miles from this city, he would be met by a negro, who would ash: “Massa, has you got dem potaters?” He was to deliver the sack and its contents to the negro and his son would appear at a hotel in this city looking for his father at an early hour Sunday morning. The letter was signed “Packard,” mailed i 1 Atlanta, dated January -16, and the instructions were min ute and specific. Threats in case of exposure and failure to cariy out the instructions were frequent ly made in it. Mr. Frazer’s son, a brother of the kidnapped boy, carried out the plan of the letter, met the negro as arranged, gave the money and potatoes Saturday night. - ; ; This morning he was at the hotel mentioned and has remained there all day, but Bass P'razer has not ap peared and no trace of him or the persons who received the SSOO can be found. r-Hh ’ ’ (*- s>/’ "gg H Dr. Cady’s Condition Powder Hrejust what a horse needs when in bad condition.

I * i It was when a girl of eighteen that \ letoria was awakened one | morning from slumder and told that King George IV. died and that she was queen of England. Those who came to Kensing to in form the princess were the arch bishop of Canterbury and the lord chamberlain. They were shown into one of the lower rooms of the palace, where they seem to have beer. f->rg< t.cu. After a time they rang the bell and desired that the attendant of the Princess Victoria might be sent to inform her that they-requested an audience on important business. There was another delay and an other ringing to inquire the cause. The attendant was summoned, and stated that the princess was in such a sweet sleep that she would not venture to disturb her. •‘Even her sleep must give way to the business of state upon which we come/’ they said. ‘Go and awake.” A few minutes later the princess entered the room in a loose white night-gown and shawl, her night cap thrown off and her hair falling upon her shoulders, her feet in slippers; yet, in spite of this sum mary attire she was perfectly col lected aud dignified. The archbishop and the lord chamberlain bent the knee, and the former, in a few words, inform ed her that the king was dead and that she was queen. For a mo ment there was silence, and then the young queen, turning to the archbishop, with tears in her eyes, said: T ask your prayers on my be half,” and they knelt and prayed together. The next day the meeting of the first council was held, and she was formally proclaimed queen of Great Britain and Ireland from St. James’ palace. Amid the thunder of can non and the cheers of the multitude she apnea red at the window of the presence chamber, supported by Lord Melbourne and Lord Lans downe. She looked pale, * and, while the official announcement proclaiming the death of the king and het accession was being read, she wept. Thus was her reign inaugurated. HARRIS OF CARTERSVILLE Begs Frazer to Consult Medium Harkins About His Brother. At anta Nows. Spirits came very near revealing the whereabouts of Bass Frazer through the tin horns of Raymond Harkins this morning. What sec rets might have been told by the ghostly will never be known— Harkins was on a jag. With impatience and anxiety plainly stamped upon every linea ment, a gentleman giving his name as Harris and his home as Carters ville, called at The News office yesterday afternoon enquiring where C. H. Frazer, the brother of Bass, who made the deal with the crooks Saturday might be found. He was told that the young gentleman was stopping at the Williams house. This morning this Mr. Harris who had such great aid to offer Frazer, appeared at the Williams honse and met the young man. Enthusiastically he explained to Mr. Frazer that he had a friend who could dispel the mystery of Bess’ wtiereabouts as the mist of night flees before the ray of the morning sun. “He lives at 102 West Peachtree street,” said the man who was to lead to the solution of the mystery. “He is a medium and the spirits from beyond the grave, who know all things will tell you under his guildance where your brother may be found. Will you go with me'” “I dont believe in that much blit I’ll go with you for curiosity’s sake,” said Frazer. The two then went to the home of the tin horn medium on West- Peaehtree street, where Harris, of Cattersville, : was to get Harkins to solve the riddle of Bass disappear ance. But if the spirits of Harkins know where Bass Frazer is the knowledge remains locked in their own eternal bosoms. Harkins, who was again in the toils of the law through liquor, on last night, was still on a jag and would not at tempt to summon the voices from spiritland.

All show cases, both for liquors and cigars, as well as the plate glass windows and doors were broken. With lightning speed they ran to John- Herrig’s saloon and had everything in front of the room, including the plate glass windows broken, when he appeared with a revolver, placed it at Mrs. Nation’s head and said he would blow out her brains if she did not desist. She yielded before this pointed revol ver and with her companions ran to the Carey hotel bar, where she made her first attack on the sa loons of Wichita three weeks ago. There three policemen met her ana she struck at Detective Sutton with a poker. He shoved her aside and a youth struck him in the face. A policeman struck the youth anu knocked him down. The police then overpowered Mrs. Nation and her friends and took them to the city prison, followed by 2,000 people. Mrs. Evans’ lit tle daughter pushed her way through the crowd, screaming and begged for the release of her moth er, bu| the policemen weie deaf to her entreaties. Chief of Police Neudbon dis charged the prisoners after they reached the jail and is heartily condemned by the citizens. They made him a promise not to wreck any more saloons before noon to morrow.
