Sequel to Jacobsen's Disappearance.

Further inquiry regarding the mystery
surrounding the recent disappearance
of u. Jacobsen, the saddler doing busi-
ness on Olney street, elicits the state
ment that sometime ago q man came
here from Kansas City and went to work
driving street car. Passing by Jacob
sens shop one day he recognized him as
a man who had fled from Kansas City
pursued by his creditors, and for whose
apprehension reward had been offered,
He let Jacobsen know that he had recog-
nized him, and that individuals disap-
pearance from here soon after lends col
or to the supposition that he had sought
fresh fields and pastures new.
He treated every one square enough
here, paid all his bills, made fair ac-
counting to his Portland creditors and
left stock and implements enough to sat
fly all demands.
g. Saiz, en- experienced saddler from
Portland, now has charge of the estab-
liShment

Der lands. they would find much safer
Investment for their wealth than in

Aroostook offers better Inducements to

reasonable rates. To be sure,

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The necessity Of uniform divorce laws
Throughout the States is becoming mat
ter Of growing importance. The evils
growing out Of the diversity of the mar
riaxe and divorce laws of the several States
is regarded by no less Statesman than
Mr.. Gladstone as a formidable danger.
The wisest remedy would be an organized
effort for similarity of State laws, As sug-
gested some years ago by National
Methodist Conference each State send
ing commissioners to An Interstate con-
vention for the purpose of drafting a uni
form law. 1t il much to be desired that
this plan Of securing uniformity Of law
be applied to all social questions in which
dive,si is dangerous. instead of the
easily.~uggested but improper extension
Of the National authority into the legiti-
mate sphere Of the police power of the
