now Mrs. Boiling, and an unborn babe,
in Bates county, Mo-. near Crescent
City The babe was born, a son, and
the mother, having received word from
Kansas City that her husband, who
had so mysteriously disappeared. had
been killed at Kansas City and thrown
in the river, married James Boiling and
moved to Bourbon county. The son

Looks as Though They Would Fig

Washington. March 26.-Rosette d.
Sprague, daughter of Frederick Doug
lass. filed today a petition asking that,
pending the granting the letters Of ad-
ministration of the estate, the letters
of COLLECTION shall be issued to the end
that there may be no waste Of the pro-
perty.
This petition recites the failure thus
far to file any will or other papers on
the part of the widow or kin folk Of
the dead man. Mrs. Sprague says she
has reason to fear that it is the inten-
ton of those having the custody of the
estate to delay any proper proceedings
looking to it's lawful administration
and that by such delay and the admis-
sion of property steps in the taking out
of letters testamentary or administra-
tive, their rights will be impaired, and
the estate in a great measure dimin-
ished and become wasted. Mrs
Sprague says she believes the personal
estate of her father to be at least
$4,000 in value. She also asks that let
ters testamentary may be granted to
her. The estate, she recites, has been
since Mr.. Douglass death, in the con-
troll of Helen Douglass, the widow, and
Louis Douglass, one of the sons.

Daily News from Washington says: The
chief subject discussed at the regular
cabinet meeting was the validity of the
law creating the monetary commission.
The president is strongly inclined to the
opinion that the Wolcott resolution is in
valid, and there is a strong possibility
that he will refuse to appoint the three
commissioners authorized by the last
Congress. No conclusion was reached. It
is said Judge CulbertSon, one of the COM
missioners selected by the House of Rep
resentatives, and a free silver advocate,
concurs with the presidents views.

Project for New City Building for Bath.
ESPECIAL TO TIE PREss.J

Bath, September, Following the
lead set by Augusta, there is a movement
on foot here for the building of a new
city building. AS is we'll known all over
the state, Baths city hall is an old fash
ioned affair that is no credit to the city.
The idea is for syndicate of Bath cap
tialists to purchase the present building
and the land which it occupies as well
as the lot next east of it, clear uplboth
lots and erect upon them first class
city hall with offices for the boards of all
of the departments as we'll as rooms for
the city government, hall for public
purposes and lock up.
1t is belieyed that if the city will agree
to lease such a building for II years at
$2 500 per year, that sufficient amount
of capital could be secured to build it,
and at the end of that time would be-
come the property Of the city. Many
people look with favor upon the scheme
and believe that it could be done without
becoming too great burden upon the
tax payers.
