She May Have Been Drowned
in Mad River.

Rochester, ~. H.. April 1I.-Search-
ing parties were out all night in Far
mington and vicinity endeavoring 10
find some trace of Mrs. Frank Mat
thews. wife of the chief of police of
that town, who disappeared from home
yesterday. When Mrs. Matthews did
not return last evening her relatives
and neighbors feared that something
serious had happened and they decided
10 institute a search. Up 10 8 o'clock
this morning the missing woman had
not been found, but during the night
several of the villagers found the cloth
ing OF a woman on the bank of the Mad
river. The clothing was identified as
that OF Mrs. Matthews and the discov-
cry under the circumstances led to the
belief that her body would be found in
the river. The"search was continued to-
day.

REPUBLICANS ASSURED
State Chairmen Predict Great
 Victory
Their Reports Indicate Republican Gains in Several States Carried by Bryan in 1896-The Nebraska Situation.

Washington. Oct. 13.-As the cam paign advances republican leaders in the various states are becoming more confident of success in the election to be held on November 6. Careful polls of doubtful states satisfy the chair men of the republican committees in the so-called doubtful states that there is no pronounced desire on the part of voters for the election of Bryan and Stevenson, but on the contrary, a strong determination to re-elect Pres iIent Mckinley and a republican con- gress in order that there may be a continuation of the prosperity that has been universal during the last three years.
 Reports received by the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune from the chairmen of a majority of the state c3m- mittees throughout the country indicate republican gains this year in a number cf states carried by MT. Bryan in 1896. This is particularly true in regard to the western and Pa cific coast states. It is exceedingly doubtful wEtthsr Mr. Bryan will be able to carry Nebraska, his home state. II. C. Lindsay. chairman of the re- publican state committee of Nebraska, confidently believes that the electoral vote will go to Mckinley and Rgose- vet He bases this belief upon re- ports received from every county in the state. Mir. Lindsay is also conf dent that the republicans will have a good working majority in tae next leg fslature. which will elect two United States senators.
