At one time in the great state Of Ohio
the members of the legislature had got
themselves into extremely bad repute and
it was openly charged that anybody who
had money enough could buy them for his
own use in any legislation he wanted.
One day one OF the members stepped into
a Columbus store where an assignee's sale
was going on and wanted TO huy a hat
How are your ngures?" he asked the
clerk.
"oh. you can have anything you want
at your own price.
The legislator smiled, for he thought he
was unknown.
MY price is pretty high" he said.
Eyes. | know it is, responded the clerk.

WHERE rs MIR. BAILEYP
He Left Home Monday and Has Not Been
Sem NJ YsfnrY of HIs Erienda.


Mr.. Pollard. a brother-in-law Of Mr.. w.
Scott Bailey. the %well-known grocer at
the corner OF Twenty-ffth and p streets.
was at The Times office last evening
seeking for information concerning Mr..
Bailey.
He seemed anxious to know II any one
had inserted a advertisement in The
Times saying that Mr.. Bailey had left
the city.
His Inquiry created no special interest
or curiosity in the minds OF the reporters
or The Times until his mysterious manner
and refusal TO answer a casual inquiry
about the matter aroused the suspicion
mat something extraordinary had hap
pened 10 Mr.. Bailey. Investigation from
other sources proved this 10 be true.
Last Monday the grocer left home as
usual, purchased the marketing for the
day, and sent IT home. From that hour
his clerks at the store and his family
nave not seen or heard from him. and
they are apparently in ignorance OF his
whereabouts.
Mr.. Bailey lives at 93 north Twenty
fifth street. and conducts quite a large
grocery and supply business at 1908 north
Twenty-tfth street.
His relations with his family are said
~ De Vi the most happy nature, and his
business affairs are believed to be In a
very prosperous condition. and his habits
good.
From the best information that could
be gathered last night. no motive can be
ascribed for his mysterious disappear
ance, and the only cause for suspicion is
the mysterious manner of his friends.
The suppositiOn Is that he has left the
city, as Mr.. Bailey's brother-in-law last
night admitted that he had been search
ing for him for three days, and did not
Know whether he was in the city or not.
Mrs. Bailey, who IS in a delicate state
OF health, Is naturally much disturbed
over the absence Of her husband. The
police had heard Of Mr.. Bailey's absence
last night, but knew nothing Of the par
ticulars.
