BuoKsPoRr, Oct. B. No trace has been
found of John F. Libby, the prominent resi-
dent of Prospect, who was last seen here on
Wednesday Of last week, when he took the
morning train here for Bangor, leaving his
horse in Grindle's stable at Prospect Ferry.
As far as can be learned his accounts with
the town are all straight. Nothing has de-
veloped to show that he had planned to
leave home. His disappearance is growing
to be decidedly mystery.

THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.
Full Otficial Figures Make Cobb'> Plurality
26SOO

Full Official Figures Make Cobb'> Plurality
26,SO0.
At last the returns have been received
from the delinquent towns and the full Of
fetal figures Of the vote for Governor, Sep
tember -, are now made public. The vote
was as follows:
Cobb, Republican. an......................7G ,59l
Davis, Democrat. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. ..49, ,79l
Woodbury., Prohibtionist.. :. ,75i
Hapgood, Socialist. .................... 1876
Total vote. te.................. ......... 1870, 1872
This shows that MIR. Cobb's plprality was
exactly 26,S00. The total vote was the larg-
est cast at gubernatorial election since
that of 1888, when li5,324 votes were cast.
At the elections of 1868, 1876, 1879, 1880, 1882
and 1884 the total vote was also larger than
that cast this year, and in 1892 il lacked but
few hundred of this years total. The
largest vote ever cast at IA Maine guberna-
toriai election was 14-,SO2 in 1880 and the
smallest was 1922 in 1925. This year S Re-
publican vote, 16, 591, has been exceeded at
but three gubernatorial elections in the half
century that the party has dominated
Maine politics. namely s2.596 in 1896, 79,-
4os in 1883 and 1860 in 1854. This years
Democratic vote, 44, 1"l, was exceeded AT
many elections in earlier years hut is the
largest cast by the party since 1892, when
its vote was 55,i91 The Prohibition vote is
only about half of what it was two years
ago, and the socialist vote is 400 less. In
only one election in 20 years, that of 1894,
has the Prohibition vote been smaller than
this year.
The vote of Waldo county for Governor is
given as follows; Cobb, 2,9Ss; Davis 2,lS4;
Woodbury., 10; llapgood, 29.

Ancestor wor.hip In Japan.

The restoration in Japan has brought
about no change in the practice Of an
cestor worship. Religion is no bar to
it. and it is probable that all the Chris
tian converts in japan are also an
cestor worshipers. 1t is interesting in
this connection to recall the fact that
in China the early Jesuit missionaries
made the most headway when they had
declared that ancestoral worship was
not to be considered as a religion, and
that therefore there was no necessity
for converts to relinQuish this, the most
priced Of their beliefs. The coming of
western civilization only brought con
veniences for the gathering together of
the members of family; it did not re-
duce the occasion Of such gatherings
To quote Mr.. Hozumi:
To western eyes the sight would appear
strange OF a japanese family. inviting
their relatives through the medium OF a
telephone to take part IN a ceremony OF
this nature, while equally incongruous
would seem the spectacle Of the members
OF the family, some OF them attired IN
European and others In native costume
assembled in a room lighted by electricity
making offerings and obeisances before
the memorial tablet OF their ancestors
The curious blending OF past and present
is one Of the most striking phenomena OF
Japan. "

south. where for several years a con-
fiict between kukourye and Baiji was
kept alive and bitter This left her
Wang OF Paikchyel. He made exten-
Iive preparations. pretending that they
were to be directed against South Gaoli.
But the queen, who had spies at his
court. kept herself well informed as to
his movements. The common people
of Sinra said that she got her infor-
nation from the frogs and the birds,
but the real frogs were the gossips at
the court Of WI Wang, and the birds
were ker own secret emissaFies. On
her side she gathered a strong force,
but did 1t so quietly that neither WI
Wang nor her own people knew about
tie fact. When, therefore, the king in
vaded her country, confident that he
would meet with no opposition and.
would overrun the land, he was sur
prised. routed with heavy slaughter
and driven to the mountain passes far
into his own country. So severe was
the defeat that it was fully nine years
before he recovered from the effects
and again made war upon sinra.
This time Wu Wang was alive TO the
difficulty Of the task. He accordingly
made treaty with the king Of Ko-
kourye, by which he agreed that il the
latter would remain neutral he would
give him a large tract of land Of the
most fertile portion OF Sinra. Finding
that she was unable to meet the vast.
army WI Wang had thrown into the
6eld. she sent an envoy to the Emper-
or Tong Tai of China, asking his aid
and promising many concessions in re
turn. Tong TGi loved nothing better
than q war and came promptly to the
rescue of TEX Man. He dispatched two
armies, one under the command of his
son, which invaded Paikchyei and
routed the forces Of its king, and the
other under his own personal com
mand. which invaded Kokourye and
utterly defeated 1t.
+ TEX Man was grateful to the Chinese
war lord and, reserving for herself q
slice of the territory of each kingdom.
come suzerain Of the remainder.
The aid granted to her by the emper-
or of China she never forgot. Every
year she sent him magnificent presents.
which her ENJOYS were instructed to
display to all other ENJOYS OF neigh
boring kingdoms. There was diploma
cy as well as gratitude in the act. Ac-
cording to Chinese etiquette, the en-
peror was in duty bound to send her
presents In acknowledgment Of her
own. These she exhibited at the Sinra
court and, according to tradition, in
creased the splendor Of the display by
adding to their number from her own
treasures. They were kept in show for
weeks. during which time ENJOYS Of
neighboring kingdoms were invited to
inspect them. Thus throughout the Ko-
rean peninsula went the rumor that
Sinra and China were allies or else
that the great emperor Of the west was
the lord suzeraln of Sinra. On several
occasions TEX Man took advantage Of
the rumor to prevent war.
When the king of South Gaoli de-
manded a large tract OF territory from
Sinra. threatening war in event Of re
fusal, she begged delay until she could
get the consent Of the Chinese emper-
or. This ended the controversy, for
Gaoli, north and south. had about the
same fear Of the Mongolian arms that
a little child has for a full grown man.
