A Missing Lobsterman.
Foul Play Suspected and an Investigation
Begun.

Foul Play Suspected and an Investigation
Begun.
Edward Jennings, a lobster fisherman of
Western Head, near Isle au Haut, has been
missing since leaving shore for his traps
August Goth, and circumstances connected
with his disappearance have caused some of
his friends to suspect foul play. The story
told by Emma Thompson of Rockland, who
had been keeping house for Jennings, and
who with her daughter has returned to
Rockland, points in that direction. At last
reports the body of Jennings had not been
found. The Rockland Star says that at
Stonington there was expressed feeling
that there should be an inquiry into deaths
that had occurred in the out islands while
at Isle au Haut those who spoke of the
disappearance of Jennings were guarded in
their expressions. The Star says further:
At North Haven prominent citizen re-
ported that stranger who had come into
the 'seastern" lobster section and had ex-
pended great deal of money and labor,
found on Tuesday that all the lobster buoys
he had set had been cut, thus rendering his
months labor and expenditure worthless.
A man who evidently was not member
of the lobster colony in the out islands said :
"There should be an investigation into the
death, as we regard it, of Ed Jennings. He
was an Independent man and came there as
holder of a lease of Western Head Island
There have been too many disappearances
which the sea has covered to have this thing
go, and Ed. Jennings was thrifty fellow,
who did not belong to the Malta society of
lobstermen on the out islands. Other men
have been threatened when they went be-
yond the mainland. 1 hope that there will
be thorough inquiry into this case. 1t will
result in disclosing a gang of pirates such
as Captain Kidd never knew"
The Hancock county officials began an in
vestigation last Saturday. Sheriff Whit
comb went to Bucksport and enlisted the
services of his deputy Walter Snowman and
they proceeded to .Rockland. After call
at the Office of the Rockland Star they call
ed on Mrs. Thompson and heard her story
and were impressed with it's truthfulness
She gave the names of the persons who had
threatened Jennings and the name of the
man in black boat which has figured in the
case. Deputy Snowman went to Isle au
Haut Saturday afternoon and Sheriff Whit
comb followed him to the scene of action
Sunday morning. Developments in the
case are looked for at an early date.

The intervals between the heats were
occupied by music by the Belfast Band,
which was in attendance each day, and by
exhibitions of horses and colts.
Bob Fitz, roam gelding, was driven a
half mile by his trainer, Thomas Holmes of
Rockland, and made the last quarter in 324
seconds, and the half in LOCI, doubtless the
fastest half ever made over the Belfast
tracks.
Directum Poster, a 2-year-old stallion
owned at the Pearl Brook Farm, was shown
on the tracks. He is by Directum 2.O54,
and his dam is by Gen. Washington, I'd
dam by Gen. Knox.
Paul Bros. of Waldo showed colt by
Marston C., dam by Blue Will. The little
fellow paced the stretch beside his dam
without skip or break, and after two
trials turned about up the track as though
anxious for another.
Marston c., owned at the Pearl Brook
Farm, showed an exhibition quarter, beside
a running mate in 80 seconds, the fastest
quarter ever made here

In his History of American Politi
cal Theories (Macmillan), Mr.. c. Ed
ward Merriam traces the historical
development of American political the
ories from the colonial days down to
the present time. The political phil
osophy Of the colonists is first con-
sidered, with especial attention to the
significance of the Puritans. The doc
trines of 1776 and their expression in
state constitutions is made a subject
Of investigation, and is followed by an
examination of the reaction from these
IDEAS as seen in The Federalist, and
in the school of which Adams was
the great theoretical exponent. The
characteristic doctrines of the Jeffer-
sonlan democracy are carefully anal
yzed and the further expansion and ex-
preston of these ideas in the Jack
scn'an democracy is described, the
POI. tical philosophy of the slavery
controversy is examined and the texts
Of the pro and anti-slavery parties
studied in detail. The development Of
political ideas in connection with the
great conflict over the nature of the
unioa is discussed at length, and the
principles of the great schools Of in
depreciation compared from the stand
point of r1osern political science Re
cen. tendencies in political specuIa-
ton are taken up and contrasted with
the doctrines Characteristic of earlier
days. Throughout the discussion, the
various types of political theory are
considered IN connection with the facts
Of American history and the intimate
relation between the ideas and the en-
vironment is strongly emphasized.

Charles Riebe, an old man, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Special
Detective Wilson of the Big Four rail-
road. Riebe has been out of work
since summer. His wife goes out
washing in order to make a living and
daughter works in laundry. Both
were at work when Riebe left the
house to pick up some coal. When
they came home in the evening he was
nowhere to be found and the mother
asked the police to help them find
him.
The police found him. He was in
cell at the central police station,
charged with petit larceny. When Mrs.
Reibe told her story to Night Police
Clerk Tratzmiller, he allowed the
man to leave the prison and go home
on personal bail bond. The Of
fense which brought misfortune to his
family is that of stealing Is cents

Ohio Railroad company.-Cleveland
Recorder.
Editor Independent: I herewith
send you a clipping I took from the
Recorder, a daily paper published in
Cleveland. desire you to print it in
your paper, and make such remarks
as you deem proper. We are living in
a time of prosperity (?) when such
incidents are of frequent occurrence.
II man, destitute of fuel, his wife
and children slowly freezing to death,
steals bucket of coal, the officers of
the law are ready to pounce upon him,
like an enraged tiger upon his prey;
If man, woman or child, to satisfy
the pangs of hunger, steals loaf of
bread that retails for nickel they are
speedily arrested and are doomed to
suffer the full penalties of the law.
There is no mercy shown to poor
suffering people who In their dire ex-
tremity are forced to steal hod of
coal or morsel Of bread, to save the
lives of the sufferers, but those fav-
ored ones who steal on gigantic
scale, and who steal, not to save life,
but who steal to add to their millions.
they are allowed to go scot free. There
is no safety in stealing on a small
scale; there is safety in stealing on a
large scale. See Carnegie. Rookie
