MISSING WITNESS
 CONNOT BE FOUND
COUNTY JUDGE MOONEY WILL RENDER DECISION IN POOR
 FARM CASE WEDNESDAY,.
No More Evidence to be Taken, and the Decision Hangs on What Has
 Already Been Submitted.

l The witness who w. c. Hilliard de
 clared in a petition to county cour
 would swear to&ensational conditions
 in connection with the management o
 the Garland County Poor Farm, has not been found The woman has beer
 searched for all over the west portion ] of the county by deputy sheriffs, ana ] has probably removed from the coun ! ty.
 When the report was made yester day to County Judge Mooney, he stat 1 ed that he would hand down a decis' | ion in the case next Wednesday. w. C. Hilliard had filed protest with the county court against the re- appointment of Louis Bingham as county superintendent of the poor farm. II was set up in the protest
 that Bingham had treated the inmates
 and the stock of the farm in an in. human and cruel manner, and there
 were charges that he was not the proper man to keep in charge of un- fortunates such as fell to the care of
 this institution.
 The evidence taking in support of
 the petition developed some witness ses who swore to some inmates being beaten, particularly Lizzie Mason, a sort of demented woman, who died later on the farm, and who some Of the witnesses testified had been beat en ard locked up in a stable with the stock
 In contradiction to this evidence Mir. Louis Bingham had members of recent grand juries which had inves. tigated the farm and the conditions there, and they all swore the farm was better managed than ever. Other reputable witnesses, many of whom had been employed about the farm swore the inmates had never been
 mistreated.
 Former County Judge Thurston F 1 Farmer counsel for Mir. Bingham
 was a prominent witness. He had | kept close supervision over the farm during the tenure of his office, and | that tenure covered the period when
 tn inhumanities were alleged to have existed, and Judge Farmer testified that the inmates were well treated
 and well cared for.
 | Before the hearing was concluded NR. Hilliatd presented a signed peti 1 tion beofre tho court setting forth the 1 name of a woman. former inmate l who M-. Hilliard declared he had i'll formation would swear to sensationa

SUICIDE AT CLAREM0NT.
Frank Haubrich Shot Himself Through
the Temple

Claremont, n. H., Nov. Frank III.
Haubrich, one of the best known mer-
chants in this town, committed suicide
yesterday by shooting himself through
the right temple. His body was found
under shed at his home on Chestnut
street by his daughter at about s o'clock.
1t appears that Mr.. Haubrieh has been
in poor health for some time past, and
the election seemed to weigh heavily on
his mind. :
1t appears that he went to his place
of business early in the morning and re-
manned but short time, and then he
went to hardware establishment and
purchased a revolver, saying that he
intended to kill dog.
He talked with several of the residents
of the town and then went to his homo
and did the deed.
No shot was heard, but his daughter
in going about the place noticed the body
of her father under the shed. Upon in
vestigation. the gruesome find was made.
Mr.. Haubrich was So years of age
and was one OF the firm OF Haubrich q
Charron, which has been in the clothing
business for long time. He leaves two
his wife having died several
years ago.

sentative utteranees of the president
elect, which we heard in the closing
weeks Of the campaign, will give the
keynote of his policies in the White
House. He is a man to be respected, and
and the opposition TO his election has
ben purely political and has never tran
scended the bounds of legitimate politi-
cal warfare. He enters Office with an
emphatic majority in the electoral col
lege, one which has been seldom equaled.
But the detection of the Republican
party, which still left aggregate opposi
ton to Mr.. Wilson numerically superior
to his support, gives him no mandate as
a warrant for departure from con-
sentative type of administration.
The clearing away of every POSSIBLE
ity of a deadlock is a cause for congrat-
ulation. Deadlocks in congress over
presidential election have always been
prolific of trouble to the nation in the
disturbance of business and development
they have occasioned. As long as we
must have a Democratic president let
us be grateful that he enters office with
the fullest constitutional sanction, and
that here is the promise in him of an
earnest desire TO act for the whole peo-
pie according to the best lights afforded
by his talents and his experienee.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

president and his party will manifest
themselves very early But for this ex-
ira session an interval of thirteen
months would elapse between the cleo
tics and the assembling of the congress
just chosen, period ample for reflection
on ways and means for organizing the
Democratic triumph If however, the
Democratic law makers are assembled in
the first flush of victory following the
Inauguration of their president, they
may be for thorough-going measures,
they NAV renew their effort to circum-
vent the merit system in our civil serv-
ice by establishing a fixed tenure of of

be as vigorous in his resistance to this
demand as was President Taft, for Mr,

President-Elect Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson will be a minority
president, The aggregate vote for Taft
and Roosevelt will exceed that which
Mr.. Wilson received. This circum-
stance ought to impose upon him and
his party great caution in following out
the policies enuneiated in the Democrat
ic platform. Both Taft and Roosevelt
stood for protection. Mr.. Wilson is a
tariff revolutionist, and in the course of
campaign varied from radical revision
list to somewhat conservative one. With
a Democratic Senate and a Democratic
House the party tendency may be to go
to extremes, to cut and slash tariff
schedules. If that tendency is mani
tested there will be test Of President
Wilson's frmness and of his political
sagacity as well. As it is understood
that he will summon congress in extra
session soon after he is inaugurated, any
discussions there may be between the

Deserts Roosevelt.

w. P. Lambertson of Brown county,
membe of the last legislature and
candidate for state senator, comes
home from the Chicago convention a
Taft man. Lambertson is for party
regularity first and all the time. He

Mr.. Lambertson said, however. that
up to Saturday night it was the fnten-
ton of the Taft men to nominate a
compromise candidate for president,
'but the action of the Roosevelt lead
ers made it impossible for them to do

Lambertson, stto try to shift their
forces for fear Roosevelt would get
the domination. They were not GER
tain they could hold them"
Iambertson said he would RATHER

QUEER MIX IN WEST.
CALIFORNIA; New Primary Law Leaves
Room for Doubt.

San Francisco, June ga pecu-
liar situation has ariser. in California
regarding the election of members of
the electoral college. Unde the pri-
mary law in effect in this state, the
nominees of the various parties to the
state legislature together with the
holdover senator's, will meet October
1 to nominate the party candidates for
the electoral college, but the name of
the presidential nominee will not ap-
pear on the ballot in November.
In California, with the Republican
political machinery dominated at pres
ent by Theodore Roosevelt's supper
tiers. the electors nominated by the
state senators and a~sSemb1ymen may
easily be Roosevelt men who would
secure the regular Republican column
on the ballot submitted to the voters
in November. In that event, if the
supporters of the president placed an
electoral ticket in the field. they prob
ably would have to do so by petition,
if that can be done.
Harry Z~eemansky. registrar of San
Francisco, said yesterday: There is
doubt as to whether electoral candi-
dates can be nominated by petition
whether an elector is a Candidate for
public office as required by law

sropped the proceedings to interpose a
question relating to EricSsonS alleged
dereliction of duty in connection with
Judge Gillett's alleged relations with
Leta Foster.
h witness declared that his en-
ployment with Corey Black called for
an investigation of the merits of dis
barment charges against T. C. WILCOX
as we'll as a search for facts against
the men prosecuting the case. 1t was
here that Ericsson met his first trouble
Vainly he tried to tell of an ~investiga-
ton of the charges. He recalled but
five of the nine charges against Wilcox.
Pressed for names of people whom he
consulted regarding these charges,
Ericsson was unable to reply. but stat
ed that he satisfied himself concerning
the merits of the case from general
gossip.
That the state will undertake the i'm
parchment of the detective, was ad-
mitted by Harry J.. Bone at the morn
