REV. H. M. SMITH MISSING.
Young Methodist Minister, Who is
Probably Insane, Disappears.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Oct. A.-Rev. II. NJ.
Smith, a Methodist minister from Dab
lonega, disappeared from the city last
night, greatly to the worry of his friends
He had come here on the invitation of
a local minister several weeks ago, and
had been in continuous service first at
Hephzibah and for the last two weeks at
Bethesda church at Gracewood. in this
county.
During the last week It was noticed that
he acted strangely, claiming that God d.
rected him through the VIII OF young
convert who he said was the prophet
Nathan. He had tasted for three days
consecutively and created a scene at, the
church service yesterday. In the afternoon
he was brought to the city to be the guest
of Rev. c. S. Wright. of Broad street
Methodist church. where II was hoped rest
and quiet would restore him.
Meantime his father had been telegraph
ed for to take charge of him. In the early
part of the night, however. the sick man
disappeared, and though his friends, aid
ed by the police, have searched for him
everywhere no trace has been found. 1t

way home, yet it has been ascertained
that he did not leave the city on any OF
the trains

MORE POLITICS

SEARCH FOR OFFICE IN PHILIP
PINES MORE ENERGETIC THAN
EFFORT TO GET TRADE.

NEW YORK, Oct 22-The Manila cor
respondent of The Journal of Commerce
sends the following details concerning the
trade In the Philippines:
The invasion of the markets OF Tho
Philippines by American merchandise
and merchants is less complete as yeti
than the invasion of the islands BY An4ori-
can political ideas. but there are indica-
lions that American goods viii come here
in increasing quantities within short
time Judging from the exterior OF the
shops American establishments arc COM
paratively few, but judged FROM the inte-
rior the footing obtained by American
goods is more obvious
One of the difficulties with which
Americans have to contend IN the market
is the fact that the established Channels
of trade are with Spain, France. Ciermany
and Switzerland, rather than with Amer
lea. The representatives of the Spanish
chambers of commerce appreciate the
fact, however. that n new era is begin.
ming in the Philippines.
The retail trade in many lines here mas
been based upon the principle of charging
what the traffic viii bear rather than up
on the maximum prices enforced by com
petition. Merchants have been content
with large profits upon small sales rather
than small profits on large sales. Consid-
cradle work will be done by Civil Gov,
ernor Taft and the Philippine commission
in organizing civil government and pre-
pairing to extend American methods Of
cultivation and American methods Of
transportation throughout the islands. It
was only with the termination of the
military contract when the work could
be begun in earnest. Government has TO
be created from the ground up, with little
to build upon that IS worth anything
from the remnants of Spanish authority.

statement made before the international
tuberculosis congress in London last Au-
gust Dr. Koch at that time claimed that
tubercular bacilh of a COW could not in

accepted medical view of such conditions.
DR.. Barney said yesterday:
eff DR.. Koch's statement be true, just

understand the state of New York has
already spent something like two million
dollars in the destruction Of cattle af-
flicted with tuberculosis.
Immediately after heard OF DR..
Koch's theory 1 determined to test its
serious soundness, as am convinced that
1t is wrong.
Selecting a cow and taking great care
that she had been In the best OF condition
of health, we have made several tests to
prove that she is in a perfectly healthy

as the last race was about to be run, and
thousands of people thronged the fair
grounds. There was no one in the basket
and Just as 1t was being drawn down to
the earth, tie cable was in some way dis
placed and was cut by the sharp edge
of a small pully. 5ta
For fully fifteen minutes the balloon
rose rapidly without changing its position
and finally after rising TO the height Of
over a mile and half 1t looked like some
tiny bug instead Of the huge form that
was moored on the plaza few moments
before.
Within another ten minutes the balloon
struck a current of air and sailed peace
fally away, and soon all track of 1t was
lost. The people at the fair grounds
knew that no one was in the balloon, but
thousands in the city believed they saw
