MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE
OF a Lady of Frederick County-Foui
Play Feared.

WINCHESTER, VA. August 13.-(Spe-
ciaI)-The people in the southern portion
OF the county are considerably stirred
I'D over the mysterious disappearance OF
Mrs. Frank jenkins, wife OF a we'll
known and highly respected resident.
Searching parties have been securing the
vicinity I'm the hope of finding some trace
of the missing wife.
Mrs. Jenkins started from her home
early on last Monday morning 70 Visit
her cousin. Miss Tilie Ritter, who lives
about two miles from the Jenkins home.
The road to Miss Ritter's Is through
woods and crosses small stream. Mrs.
Jenkins was alone and before leaving
home said she would remain away over
night. This is the last seen OF her by
anv one. Until Thursday no anxiety was
felt over her nOn-appearance, as the
streams were swollen from recent heavy
rains rendering her return impossible.
Yesterday inquiry at her Cousins house
showed that Mrs jenkins had never been
there. and no one has seen her since Mon
day morning. As no apparent cause ex-
isted for her strange disappearance, her
husband thinks she was either drowned
or was the victim Of foul play.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 13.-The
sudden transition from war to peace was
reflected to-day in a complete dulness
