Police
Here Asked TO Locate Miss
Ing Woman From v.
Jefferson

Chief of Police r. s. Clements Is
in receipt Of letter. dated July 18th,
from West jefferson, Ohio, In which
Mary Junk is seeking information
concerning Maggie Null. The chief
is asked to look up the matter and in
form the former as soon as possible.
Deductions from the communica-
tion give rise to the supposition that
Junk is attempting to keep track OF
Null who left West Jefferson some
time ago with a man by the name of
Mitchell. Although the two are sup
posed to have been married the Junk
woman intimates that such might not
be the case by saying that the Null
woman is supposed" to have been
married to Mitchell.
The letter states that the persons
sought are thought to be In Mt. Yer
non, but nothing has been learned Of
their whereabouts.

asked him to arrest Haggerty for ex.

giving all men the right to vote. Un.
der this constitution an election was
held ard Dorr was chosen governor.
At the same time an election was
held under the charter and Samuel
w. King was elected governor.
Both governments organized in
Newport in May, 1912, and King pro-
claimed martial law, called out the
militia and was recognized by the
national government. Dorr was ar.
rested, tried for high treason, found
guilty and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life, but was pardoned in few
years.
Though Dorr was Hdiculed and

"The greatest show on earth" has
come and gone and Mt. Vernon and
Knox county people had an opportun-
ity Of seeing the best circus that ever
exhibited in this city. The Barnum
& Bailey circus drew two immense
audiences on Wednesday. In the af.
ternoon the big top" was crowded
to its capacity and in the evening the
audience was nearly as large.
The spectacular feature, Cleo
patra", which opened the performance
was a splendid act, replete with hand
some costumes and attractive dances,
and in its entirety was an interesting
exposition of the system, organiza-
ton and training which go to make
up a finished performance.
Following the spectacle, in three
rings and two large stages were
shown all the infinite variety of cir
Gus features that delight the heart of
the devotee of that peculiar Ameri-
can institution. the three.ring circus
The Barnum & Bailey circus is
larger this year than ever before fol
the reason that the circus is carrying
one-half of the Sells-Forepaugh show
while Ringing Brothers Is carrying
the other half
There was not dull moment In
the entire show. The acts were most
ly new and all exceptionally fine.
From the opening overture by the
excellent circus band until the las
rumbling chariot had swung arount
the track, the succeeding acts In
terested, amused and instructed thu
big audience. Altogether the exhibi
ton presented by Barnum & Bailey
constituted real event in Mt. Yer

Thomas Wilson Dorr was born in
this city November 5, 1905. He was
man OF property. capacity, education
and social position. AS a member
of the legislature he started popular
agitation for suffrage reform. He op-
posed the old charter of Rhode Is

suffrage. The State had retained Its
old charter, after the Declaration Of
independence, and one of its provi.
sions was that only those could vote
who possessed freehold worth s134.
The people considered this limita-

their champion. So great was the
