the girl Is said to have told that she
intended going to st. Louis, where
she had secured situation as a tick
ct seller in a small show of the Edi-

Her heart-broken mother has
haunted the police station for week
out in the very worst weather walk
ing the streets, always clinging to
the one and apparently forlorn hope
that she may meet her daughter dur
ing her ramblings. But to date her
daughters whereabouts are as little
known as though she had been swal
lowed up by the falls. The poor
mother thinks the girl has become
Maynard, got into bad company and
is fearful of the consequences. The
old lady's mind may be affected with
her trouble, and the police are using
every effort to locate the erring one.

There have been various theories
concerning Senator Turner's future pol
itical plans. For awhile an effort was
made to show that he contemplated
returning to the republican party
which he left in 1895. Now such
enemies as he has say that while he
does not intend to return to the repub-
lican party. at least for the present,
he is associating himself with republi-
can leaders with desire to land an
other appointment similar to his posi-
ton on the Alaskan commission or
possibly one of the regular diplomatic
places of Importance. 1t is claimed
that he is more closely aligned to the
fortunes of both Governor Mcbride
and President Roosevelt than he is
to any of the democratic leaders, and
that he will refuse to be candidate
for governor on the democratic ticket
if Mcbride is nominated by the repub-
leans, and that he does not intend to
accept the democratic nomination for
vice president of the United States
even if he can get it.

NEW ROADS

County Surveyor j. NJ. Snow will
send out two parties to locate new
roads tomorrow. This is the first party
that has been sent out for some time.
The weather has been such that it has
been impossible to send out crews.
There are at present II applications
for new roads on file in the office, but
until the weather improves but little
work can be done. Mr.. Snow states
that he feels that after the board of

The roads to be surveyed tomorrow
are one near Mullen Bridge to locate .
new crossing and a shorter road. and
one near Tyler where cutoff will be
laid out.
