Reducing The S0uth's Representation

1t is now thought hat it will not be
done. The Republican leaders think
they would gain nothing by the course.
President Mckinley is also reported
opposed to the policy as it would inter
fere with his hope Of a white Southern
republican party. 1t is conceded very
generally that The South would prefer
losing representation to restoring uni
versal Ignorant negro suffrage. A mem
Der OF Congress desiring re. election met
an old farmer who told him of his sur
prise that he should want to 90 back as
bis party was usually beaten and ac-
complished no good for the South. The
politician suggested that allowance
should be made for the big Yankee
majority, the voter replying that an
old farmer went into his cotton field
with Il shot gun on his shoulder and a
rabbit getting up the farmer fired, al
lowing four rows for the rabbits lump,
and missed the rabbit. And so it seems
that Southern congressman bag little
game except for u particular home
measure when toadying to Northern
sentiment and Northern interests.

successful in Gardiner.

The officers started out on another

while successful in Randolph. in this
city were unsuccessful. The drug store
of Charles Ward & Go. was visited
first by Constables Tozier and Law
renee. and though every place was
locked over, not a drop OF the contra
band stuff could be found. At a little
after 3 o'clock, City Marshal Drake
and Officer Burns visited the place Of
John +. Mcnamara. They were unable
to locate any of the ardent, though
every nook and crevice were given an
overhalling.
In Randolph it was different. Deputy

HIS FRIENDS ARE ANXIOUS.
Georg, Wltham Disappears from His Work ard
Whereabouts Are Unknown.

A great deal Of anxiety is expressed
by the friends and relatives of George
Witham of this city. Mr.. Witham is
man of about 80 years of age. He
formerly lived in West Gardiner and
later moved to Litchfield. While there
his mind became affected and all was
was ready to have him placed in the
hospital at Augusta. but one of his
brothers would not sign the necessary
papers. This was about two years ago
and since that time he has been in
Gardiner a great deal, though making
no particular place his home.
On Monday morning of this week,
Capt. Bird. who has recently purchas-
ed the wood lot Of l.. Il. Wing in
Litchfield. some five miles from this
city hired Mr. Witham to cut wood for
him. He at once started for the wood
lot and began operations. Mr.. Bird ar
rived on the place at about noon, but
did not find him there. Seeing his axe
driven into a log near and his dinner
pail near it. he thought nothing of il,
suppoSing that he had gone to enjoy
a Christmas tree near by at one Of
his relatives.
When he did not return to HIS work.
Tuesday morning, some fear arose in
the minds of his friends that all was
not we'll They at once started to look
him up, but could not find any trace
of him. They then found tracks that
lead towards Purgatory, but could not
trace them far.
The theory is now held that perhaps
a hound came by. and he being very
fond of hunting. started to follow it.
AS he is not we'll posted in the many
streams and ponds in that vicinity, it
is feared that he might have gone onto
thin ice and through it. and there be
ing no one near. was drowned. So far
no trace has been found of him, but
searching parties are still looking for
him.

cupyinG the lookup, Green having n
cage by himself. Officer Harvey while
fixing the furnace about O'Clock F.
NJ, heard great Commoton among
the prisoners and upon investigating
found Green. who had succeeded in
hanging himself with a handkerchief
to a bar of the cage, in an unconscious
condition. Mr.. Harvey Immediately
cut the handkerchief and after con
siderable effort was able to restore
him to consciousness. 1t is presumed
that Green being only partially over
the effects Of the liquor. in a moment
of despondency, made the attempt to
end his life.
