A PROMINENT MAN MISSING
ATTORNEY HUBERT WILLIAMS, THU
 POST.MA STER AT LAKETILLE.
Disappeared Over Week Ago But tho Matter Has Been Kept Quiet-Police of Several Cities Notifed-His Ac- counts All Right-Is Member of Com. mittec Which is Investigating State Expenditures.

mttec Whfch Is Investigating State
 Expenditures.
 Winsted, Oct. 17.-This entire section is greatly exercised tonight over the announced disappearance of Hubert Williams, attorney, legislator and post master at Lakeville. He has been miss- ing for over week but the matter has heretofore been kept quiet The police in Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford and New York have been communicate ed with, but as their efforts thus far have proved futile his friends deemed it advisable to make the fact of his dis appearance as public as possible. An examination of his books showed there was nothing wrong in his financial ac- counts, and there was nothing in his his unexpected disappearance, and the only reason attributable is an unbal- Der of the commission appointed by the last legislature to investigate the mat ter of state expenditures, and this oner- ous duty in connection with his legal duties and also recently assuming the responsibility of postmaster is believed to have proven too great strain and unbalanced his mind. MT. Williams disappeared once before and was found in California, but he had no recollec- tion of any event connected with his travels across the country
 According to the statement of Sem ator Donald Warner, particular per- sonal friend, as well as a member of the bar, who has come into intimate relations with him, Mr. Williams was last seen to leave southbound train in this city on the 9th inst. Senator Warner states that the chief clerk at the postofice reports that all the ac- counts of the postoffice are in proper strain that his multitudinous duties exacted and had been i'll for several days before his disappearance. Sena- tor Herman was also greatly shocked when he learned of the matter tonight and could only explain by the fact that MT. Williams was mentally unbalanced. MT. Williams was one of the most prominent men in the last legislature and represented his town of Salisbury for the second term, his first election taking place in '95 and he proved such a valuable man that the question of successor was not entertained for moment. Apart from his townspeople the fact of his disappearance will oc- casion considerable surprise to the fre- quenter of the capitol, as MT. Williams was one of the best known members of the lower house on account of his per- sonal appearance, his recognized orato- rical ability and his enthusiastic advo- cacy of several measures that passed the house. He is about forty-five years of age.

SEVERE STORM IN KANSAS.
Rain Turns Into Snow and Great Dam
 age Results.

Kansas City, Oct. 1.-The earliest winter storm in the southwest in twen- ty-five years and the worst early storm on record has to-day almost completely shut Kansas City off from wire com munication with the south, the west and the north. An opening to the east has alone kept the city from being to- tally isolated. It has been raining for the past twenty-four hours. Shortly after midnight last night the rain turn ed to snow and the thermometer drop ped. Hundreds of telegraph and tele- phone poles have either been blown down or broken by the weight of the snow covered roofs. At Fairmount and Leavenworth, where portions of the Third and Fifth Missouri and the Twenty first and Twenty second Kan sas regiments, respectively. are en- camped, many tents were blown down and the soldiers suffered acutely. The storm came up with great suddenness. Street car traffic, more or less ham, pered, has not been badly interrupted.
 Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 17.-From day break to 3 this afternoon communica- tion with the outside world was impos- sible as a result of the storm. Trees were stripped and telephone and tele- graph wires broken. West of here the wires and poles are down for a great distance.
 Pittsburg, Kan, Oct T.-A cold rain in this section was followed last night by a snowstorm which covered the ground to the depth of nearly an inch by daylight In continued showing un- til about o'clock when a cold rain be- gan falling.

Washington May 1.-The NAVY De
partment officials from the Secretary
down are very indignant at the reports
of pretended news received from Manila
concerning the losses sustained bv
Dewey. Captain Crowninshield was es-
peclally annoyed at these reports and
SAID 1t was unreasonable to suppose that
individuals would heal from orr fleet
before the Department.
Regarding the possibility of news
from Commodore Dewey it was statad
here to-day that judging from the fact
ina the British Government had advices

the Spanish fleet on Sunday the Ameri-

SOME QUEER
Washington, May BIT is now positi-
vely known that Commodore Dewev,s
report of the result of the battle at
Manila was received here yesterday. and
the right of the Administration to with
hoid Its contents from the public is ques-
toned. Secretary Long on leaving his
office yesterday positively assorted that
no report had been received, but later an
attache of the navy department admitted
that the report had been submitted TO tbe
President early in the day by Secretary
Long.
JeaIously of The popularity of Com
modore Dewey and the enthusiasm over
his signal victory, Won by adopting his
own plans and carrying them to a sue
issue, is said to he one cause of
the reluctance of the Administration to
make the report public, which is said to
that the defeat of the Spanish fleet
was the most overwhelming in naval
and that Manila is now i'm
l>ewey's possession and his demand for
endorsements, hospital ships and sup
plies is made to enable him to maintain
the position won by his gallantrv and
strategic ability.

Captain General Blanco feels that he

ed in this state was when the pop
ulist Board of Regents removed
Professor Gault from the head of

a republican. Do those regents ex
pect to get an educated man at the
head OF our University who is not a
republican, or do they want to get
a lot OF cheese Drained populist
professors such as they have APP

OUR NEXT LEGISLATURE.

The State Of Idaho calls upon hei
people to send their very best men
to our next legislature. Fortunate.
ly this is not political year, SO
that il is immaterial what mans
politics may be; what we want are
good, strong, intelligent men. Our
supreme court has forever disgraced
the state by its foolish decisions;
more than one.half of our laws are
declared unconstitutional. These
laws must be passed again to con
form TO the decision OF the courts.
1t will be a practical, common sense
and business legislature that we
want. There is no senator TO elect
and no political advantages to be
gained by either party. Therefore
we can afford to pick our best men
regardless OF their political views,
Lincoln county has heretofore
been fortunate in her legislators.
Whea Mr.. Bierbower was in the
senate he was universally recog-
nized as the leader of that body.
Judge Waters was the recognized
leader Of the house. Our people
should return one OF these eentla-
men, but we understand that
neither of them desire to go. Such
being the case we would like to see
some enterprising, energetic, inhu. {
entail, successful business men like c
Frank r. Gooding and o. p. John \
son in the legislature. One man !
like those named is worth a dozen 5
members. :
Lincoln county is especially in t
in the next legislature e
While VIC have paid our county in I
iebtedness according to law, we Il
understand that an effort will be a
made to change the law as to the s
lime when our payments become I
iue. We must therefore have good t
thorough, wide-awake business men C
n the legislature this year.
