FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Adelmon Lanpher's Disappearance Causes
Great Anxiety.

Adelmon Lanphers Disappearance Causes
Great Anxiety.
PORTLAND, Me-, April p. Acquaint-
ances of Adelmon Lanpher, formerly
engineer on the steamer Nina and Liz
zie, have about given up hopes of ever
seeing him again. 1t will be recalled
that about the first of last February,
Lanpher disappeared and since that
time not trace of his whereabouts has
been discovered.
The firm of G. A. Wyer & Co., Gus
tom House wharf, has just received a
letter from Mrs. Amelia West of Stock
ton Springs, Lanpher's sister and only
relative, asking that his effects be sent
to her. Mrs. West inclines to the be-
lief that her brother has met with foul
play and this view of his disappearance
is shared by many. There are others
who believe he left these parts for rea-
sons best known to himself. So far as
known there was nothing in his bust
ness or private affairs detrimental to
his character. He was a very quiet, I'M
assuming man, we'll liked by his as
Sociates.
About February 1st Lanpher was
sent to Fore street shop for piston
1Ol GLC oVCdluC1 lid dlltl LlZLl6, Nu1CIl
was at Jonesport. The steamer had met
with an accident to her machinery and
the piston was to be taken to Jonesport
by Lanpher and temporary. repairs
made sufficient to bring the steamer to
Portland. 1t was midwinter and the
weather was very cold and severe and
it is thought by some that Lanpher
was nervous about coming down the
coast in the steamer when she was not
in AL condition. At any rate he got
the piston and took the train for Jones'
port. That was the last that was ever
heard or seen of him.
A strange thing is that the piston ar
rived all right, it having been shipped
by express from Bangor, which would
seem to indicate pretty conclusively
that LaEpher had taken it as far as
that city. This fact indicates that he
knew he was not to continue to Jones'
port and gives ground for the theory
that his absence is voluntary. 1t is a
strange disappearance to say the least.

tooth fashion, on one edge, for knock
ing limpets off the rocks. Their wea-
pons are bows and lances, the former
having strings made from the entrails
of animals, and arrows tipped with
flint; and the lances are long, slender
poles with tips of sharpened bone
They have knives, too, the blades of
which are mussle-shells, very large
species of which is found along these
coasts. A shell four or five inches
long has its brittle edge Clipped off,
and new edge formed by grinding the
shell upon the rock; after which it will
not only cut the hardest wood, but
bones of fish and seals, and serve the
Fuegoan for every purpose, even to
the cutting of human throat. His
method of procuring fire is unique.
Wherever he goes he carries along a bit
of iron pyrites, which is found upon
the mountain sides all over TERRA del
Fuego. This, when struck by pebble,
will produce sparks. The sparks are
caught upon bit of dried moss or the
punk of a dead log; and when ignited,
the finder is placed within ball of
dried grass, and this being rapidly
whirled soon sets the grass in blaze.
Then it is only necessary to communi-
cate the blaze to bundle of sticks,
and the work is done. But all this is a
good deal too much trouble for the lazy
Fuegoan. Therefore, he is very careful

PLANTING POTATOES.
Danger that the Basiness May be overdone

Danger that the Basiness May be Overdone.
We do not want to get nervous until
there is need of it, but really we hope
that Maine farmers will not over do
the business of planting potatoes this
year. Just because Brother Smith of
Vassalboro had tremendous yield and
got an unusual price, and Commission
er Gilman raised 1920 bushels on four
acres, which he has just sold for dol
lar bushel, while near neighbor
raised 1850 bushels on three acres and
95 square rods, and both of the last
two named are planning to more than
double their acreage this season, is no
reason why everyone should go into
this profitable crop. There are lots of
other things that will grow in this eli
mate and prove profitable besides pota-
toes. Cabbage, properly cultivated,
will average as we'll for a cash crop as
potatoes. The same is equally true of
squash and onions, and yet it really
looks as though half the farmers in
Central Maine at least, would stake
their all on the potato crop. Aroos-
took farmers used to base their calcu-
lations on what would be done in New
York and the west, but if present plans
are carried out, they have got to look
to western Maine, for competition is
sure from their own State.
This almost universal practice OF
planting what has proved to be sue
cessful crop the preceding year is Who'll
ly at variance with the custom adopted
by the late Hon. l. G. Libby. When
potatoes sold at top notch he always
advised his friends to plant light the
succeeding year, and go strong on some
other crop. He said that he had made
note of the fact that the same crop
would not prove unusually profitable
hardly ever two years in succession.
But if for any reason the second year
was successful, the third year was dead
sure to prove miserable failure. We
recall one year when hay was very low.
He sent word to his sons in Aroostook
county to buy all the hay they could
possibly find storage room for, and if
necessary, to hire barns to store it. By
this method he got very large amount
OF fine quality hay, and tire next season
he sold it, in some cases to the very
men he bought it of, and they paid good
interest on the investment. This is
the kind of farming that pays. 1t is
as much of an art to know when to
sell as it is to know how to plant, grow
and harvest.-Turf, Farm and Home.

The offering at the Doris theater on Monday, February Sth, will be that powerful drama of absorbing interest, "In Convict Stripes" d play from the pen of the well known author of sue cess, Hal Reid. "In Convict Stripes tells a thrilling story of love and hat red, virtue and villainy, but not once has the. author strained for unnatural effects. The emotional scenes are strong yet sympathetic, the climaXes are sensational yet logical and the comedy situations are highly amusing and original. The spectator is at all times deeply engrossed+ in the action of the play and he is transformed from laughter to tears, from sunshine to shadow, by the delft touch cf a master hand. The plot evinces daring origin
 ality and the treatment of the theme is more than ingenious. Scenically the production will fulfill all requirements and a most realistic episode is the vivid picture uf q southern convict camp in operation. An excellent com pany of players amongst whom are Vivien Prescott, Hattie Laurent, Min nie Pearl Alice Leise, Minnie Leise. Baby May, Archie k. Christie. J. A. West, A. w. Reynolds, J.

 TWO UNAWAYS.-There was a rather destructive run away yesterday afternoon that started somewhere in the vicinity of the NJ & P. depot and ended on Center street near the Hotel Adams The team belonged to a man named McGee. The horses were with out a wagon by the time they got up town. Near the corner of First and Adams streets they got at outs with each other through the interference of a telegraph pole. The horses were slightly injured. One of them was caught at this point and the other was captured after another run of a block to Center street There was another runaway but no serious results. the team concerned being one that draws a scaNenger wagon. It became frighten- ed in the alley between Fifth and Sixth and Washington and Adoma streets and made a lively run for a block or two before it was stopped.

 the repairs arc to be made by Jose Duarte who lives near the Sotelo ranch

 F. Guitierres took him a wagon to fix -h in, gent need of the vehicle so he left It with Duarte till Thursday when he went after 1t and found the box gone and other portions of the wagon missing. In fact there was grave doubt if there was as much Of it left as there was a
 year before when he began his efforts at reconstruction. When he expressed his indignation at the situation, he al-
 leges that Duarte cursed him and
 threatened to do him bodily harm
 wherefore he came to town yesterday
 and had Duarte arrested on a warrant
 secured of Justice Robertson. Duarte
 was arrai=ned and his trial set for this afternoon ct o'clock
