Gardiner, Me-, July 26.-Mrs. S. j,
Crossman of Ellsworth, who visited re.
latives in Gardiner left last Friday on
the steamer Sagadahoc for Boston. She
did not make her appearance in Boston,
and on return of the Sagadahoc to Gar
diner. investigation of her stateroom
found her baggage intact. The saloor
watchman saw her go on deck and re-
turn, then 60 out again but did not see
her return the second time.
Mrs. Crossman has been in i'll health
for some time and it is feared during
temporary insanity she may have com.
mitted suicide. Every effort is being

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
DR.. Allison, of sackville, N. B., breaches 1t
Down.

sackville, N. B., July 25-At the morning
session of the Methodist church, yesterday,
the pas toral letter drawn up by the recent
Ministerial Conference held at Charlotte
town, P. E. l.. was read. Among the items
in the letter designated ''Chu1ch enter
prises'' was the coming plebiscite, and to
this portion of the letter DR.. David Allison,
president of the Mount Allison College and
University, addressed the congregation. The
letter in dealing with the issue stated that
no Methodist vote should be polled other
than for prohibition.
81 do not care to say,' said Dr.. Allison,
"whose enterprise this proposed plebiscite
is, but do say that it is no enterprise of
the Methodist church, and when read that
am expected to commend this congrega-
ton to vote for prohibition, in justice to my
own convictions, and to what history
teaches me, am bound to hesitate. Where
on this earth has prohibition succeeded? 1t
has been tried in different places, but with
uniform failure, and may well ask why
should it be expected to succeed in Canada.
I well remember the passage of the old
New Brunswick law. and the 6 eat celebra
ton we had here in Sackville to commem-
crate the event. There were speeches full of
jubilation because of the new law, but one
Reverend Divine said he cared not for the
law. He would rejoice when it was en-
forced. feel the same towards tue question
Of prohibition. While the votes of the people
may bring prohibition to us law, the sup
port Of the people is not behind the law,
and it will be as Intellectual as dead
statute on the books. Looking at the matter
as must look at it cannot recommend the
great body of Methodists to vote for prohibit
ton. I can readily endorse the action on
this matter taken by the Anglican Synod at
Halifax recently, when a resolution was
passed urging the clergy TO do all in their
power to check the evils of intempe1an
Personally could not vote for the saloon,
and certainly could not vote for measure
which was only calculated to deceive por-
tion of our peopIe, and which would not
further the cause of temperance one parti-
cle.''
The outspoken sentiments of DR.. Allison
have created considerable excitement owing
to the universal respect in which his opinion
is held in scholastic and religious circles.

AFTER GRAIN SHIPPERS
Two Men Arrested For Violating the
Inter Commerce Law.

J. NJ Rearick, of Purcell, 1. T. was
brought to this city Friday night. by
Deputy United States Marshal Hubbard,
Of the Purcell district, and lodged in jail
on the charge Of violating the interstate
commerce laws. Rearich was arrested on
the same charge as that preferred against
D. O. Wilson, who was mentioned in the
Eagle of Saturday as being In jail here.
Rearch and Wilson We're grain shippers
at Newkirk, Purcell and other points in
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. 1t IS
charged that they induced A S. Brown,
who was the bill clerk of the Santa Fe
road at Arkansas City, to reduce the
weight of carload lots of corn, and thus
violated the provisions of the Interstate
commerce law. They were indicted at the
last term of the grand jury here.
TIE two men gave bond today for their
appearance at the September term of the
United States court, and were released.
Mr. Rearich and Mr.. Wilson say. there
is nothing in the charge. They were tried
once in district court in Oklahoma to-
gether with Brown. The latter was tried
for perjury and the two former for COM
plicity, and all three of them were
cleared.
Wilson is a prominent politician of Kay
county.

GOING OVER ROUTE
Committee Writes Favorably
of Midland Extension.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED
MeSsrS Mead and Goats Are
Impressed With the Country.


The committee appointed at the citi-
zens' meeting few weeks ago. com
posed Of Messrs. Aylesbury, ]. o. Da-
wilson and II G. Fitch. to promote the
building of the Kansas Midland south TO
a point in the Indian Territory or ORTIZ
ern Texas. where direct connection
could be made with some through trunk
line, presumably the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas, TO the gulf. secured the serV-
ices Of Mr.. J. r. Mead and Mr.. Robert
Coates to go over the proposed route,
gather statistics. learn the public opin-
ion in regard to such d move and learn
as near as possible the help that could
be secured in the event the bondholders
decided to build Two more competent
men could not have been found. Mr..
Mead IS thoroughly acquainted with that
part Of the country, and Mr.. Coates has
been receiver of the land office, which
makes him particularly we'll fitted Tor
The task.
They have written to the committee,
that the crops, fruit and general condi-
ton Of the country through which they
have passed far exceeds their eXpecta-
tons. It is considerably better than had
been represented to them by the citizens
who had previously written to the Com
merciaI club. The route is almost an air
line. The proposed line, as stated before
in the Eagle, conternplates going from
Wichita to Douglas. thence TO Dexter
or Burden. to Pawnee. Chandler and
Tishomingo, TO Sherman, Texas. The
road will touch the rich coal fields IN the
Indian Territory, which viii be of great
| benefit to this city.
AS soon as Mr.. Mead and Mr.. Coates
return and make out their report it will
probably be given to Receiver Wolff. Of
the Midland, who win in turn submit it
1 to the bondholders in New York. With
Mr.. VOLTS recommendation the New
York gentlemen are expected to favor
| the building of the line and if they do
it is almost a certainty that the bond
! holders living in Holland will concur and
advance the money necessary to extend
| the road.
