Missing Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Iashier and bookkeeper for L. w. Nc
Glautlin q Co., wheat brokers, who man
aged the late Senator Fairs big wheat
deal, is missing under peculiar circum-
stances. Smith spent Sunday at the Office
working on his books. At o'clock yester-
day morning the police were notified of
his disappearance. A sergeant sent to Nc
Glautlin's Office found several excited per
sons, including Mrs. Smith and her par
ents, who insisted that the cashier had
been murdered. The office was in disorder,
books and papers scattered around, and on
the floor Smiths hat, coat and vest were
found spotted with blood. For hours the
police searched the building for Smiths
dead body, but no trace of it or evidence
of murder could be found.

SheereSt Nonsense.

The Pottsville Daily Republican says
"any respectable and none subsidized
news papers in Pennsylvania will support
the move to defeat Senator Don Cameron"
Our friend will learn, If indeed he has
not already that newspapers with reputa-
tions for honesty and against whom not
even whisper of suspicion of having
ever been subsidized, will stand by Sena-
tor Cameron. AS to his being so aristo-
cratic and cold blooded is the sheeresJ
nonsense, but the very reverse is the fact.
Senator Don Cameron's home always,
has the latch string hanging out, And it
is used by the different classes more than
any other Senators in Washington. 1t is
not the people that are finding fault with
him, its class, as rule, who are not
the recipients Of every demand made
upon him, that are usually found 3ryiup
"down with Don Cameron. Ashland
Daily Local Well said, friend James
The HERALD honestly comedies with you
We owe Mr. Cameron nothing but OF
the contrary, if we felt like other disap
poi ted people, we would have plenty ot
room to vent our spleen upon that gentle
man. Yet truth is mighty and must pre-
vail, p we cannot say naught but prais,
of the senior Senator. He may differ OF
the financial questions of the day witI
the majority of the Republcan-, but tha
does not make him less a Republican.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30-Theodore
Durant was arraigned yesterday in the po-
lice court on a charge of murder for the
killing of Blanche Lamont. The defend
ant conducted himself with his usual stoi-
cism, and after the formal proceedings
had a long consultation with his attor-
neys. He complains bitterly, however,
that the public is disposed to prejudice
him He says that every fact connected
with the murder is made to fit his case,
while suspicious circumstances regarding
others are disregarded. The coroner's in
quest in the Lamont case which com.
menced some time ago, will be continued
tonight until concluded, so as not to in
terfere with the preliminary examination
of Durant for the Williams murder, to be
tried today.

DISASTER NARROWLY AERTED.



Endangered by Parsimony.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-The steamer
Modoc, plying between this city and Sac
ramento, had narrow escape from de
struction on her last trip Several of the
crew, including flremen and oilers, have
recently been discharged for the sake of re-
trenchment, the others doing double duty.
Second Engineer Ward, left alone in the
engine ROOM had to oil certain machin-
cry. While doing so it is believed he fell
overheard and was drowned. Meanwhile
the engine room was deserted When the
pilot approached the Sacramento draw
bridge. which was closed, he signaled TO
slow down. Repeated rings had no effect,
So the pilot tried to swing the steamer
around. The fireman, hearing the pilots
signals thought something was wrong
and fastened to the deserted engine room,
reversing the engines just in time to save
the steamer and probably the lives of the
passengers. The steamer had been going
at top speed for twenty miles with no one

Selling Eggs by weight

Until the time arrives when eggs ar
sold by weight, both the poultryman
and the consumer will be cheated.
The consumer who buys his eggs by
the dozen never pays the same price.
He has the advantage to-day and loses
it tomorrow. When the prices paid
are based on weight, the sales can bc
as easily made as with potatoes, which
are now sold by weight when sales are
made wholesale, though retail pur-
chasers often pay dearly for allowing
deliveries based upon bushel measures
that have slippery bottoms, all in
which the articles are 'artistically ar
ranged" with view Of filling the
measure with the fewest potatoes

Conditions Bordering on Anarchy
in the Congo Free State.

London, Sept. 1S.-Private letters
which have been received here from the
Congo Free state say that affairs there
are in condition verging upon anarchy.
Encounters between Belgian forces and
natives, which have been represented in
official dispatches as resulting in Belgian
victories, are said to have been in fact
serious reverses. 1t is reported that two
Englishmen travelling in the Free state
have been murdered and eaten by ma
tives A Belgian expedition, under
Lieut.. Franquir, was attacked by ma
tives on February II. The soldiers
hastily formed themselves into hollow
square, upon which the natives rushed
with such overwhelming force that the
Belgians were put to rout in ten min
utes. Soon after it became known, &C
cording to the correspondence, that a
pative chief named Ndoruma had mas
sacred Capt. Hansens and the whole Of
his escort, numbering sixty persons.

Something About the Bicycles Used
in France.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-United States
Consul Chancellor at Havre, France, in
answer to numerous inquiries from this
country has made report on motor
propelled vehicles. Bicycles and tri-
cycles he says are propelled by a small Pc
troleum motor. The weight of the en-
tire machine is considerably under 100
pounds, and the price is $500. The rider
after starting his motor propels the ma
chine with his feet until the motor is
working, after which he drops the
treadles. On mounting hill the rider
can assist the speed by gearing the ped
dies again. Before this system can be
prolitably applied in the United States
it will be necessary t bring our roads to
the condition of Eui ,pean highways. In
France all carriages pay an annual tax
of from SO. so to $3.50 according to their
seating capacity. Bicycles pay $1.93,
and no vehicle is allowed to go on the
road until the tax is paid.

WORK OF INCENDIAKIEs.
No Doubt That ROckefelIer's Barns
Were Set on Fire.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Sept. 1S-The fire
insurance underwriters and the local
authorities who have been making an in.
vestigation as to the cause of the fire on
the property Of J. D. Rockefeller have
decided that the firing of the barn and
outbuildipgs was Of incendiary origin.
The investigation proves that the Ars
started in small hay loft in the rear Of
the barn, beneath which, not over three
feet, was stored enough dynamite and
giant powder to destroy all the buildings
In the vicinity. 1t was almost miracle
that these explosives were not reached
by the flames. The hay was undoubtedly
saturated with kerosene oil. Farmers
living in the vicinity have found empty
oil cans in the woods. The Investigators
also find that the person or persons who
started the fire were acquainted with the
place.

FOR STEALING A SIGN.
A Harvard Student Fined and o
Warning Given.

Boston, Sept. 1S.-Judge Almy Of the
district court, Cambridge, yesterday
fined NJ. A. Stearns, Harvard college
freshman, fifteen dollars for stealing q
sign in this city. Judge Almy told the
young man that If the college term had
commenced he would be INCLINED to give
him more severe sentence. The next
student that comes before the court on
the charge of stealing signs will, the
judge said, receive house of correction
sentence, and young Stearns would have
received this sentence If his imprisonment
would teach a lesson to others, but their
absence from the city just at present
made this impractioable. Stearns be-
longs in Springfield, Mass.
