Jackson, Sept. 24.-Lost, Strayed
or Stolen-One Governor of Missis-
sippi, answers to the name of Earl
Brewer Last heard of in New York,
but evidently not in that city. No re-
ward for recovery, as he is certain to
come back home, but his constitu-
ents would like to know where he in.
Is Governor Brewer in New York,
New England or in Europe? This is
the question that is being asked
around the capitol building, and no
one seems to be able to furnish an.
answer
That he is not in New York seems
to be rather thoroughly established.
kilograms sent to the leading hotels
of that city where he has stopped on
former visits, have failed to locate
him. His private secretary, Hon. w.
]. Buck. processes absolute ignorance
on the subject and is undoubtedly
telling the truth. He couldn't locate
the Governor of Mississippi today, no
matter how hard he tried. The sub
stitute on the job, Lieut.-Gov. Bilbo,
is in equal ignorance, and really

v The theory that Governor Brewer
is now in Europe seems to be tol.
erably well established. He left Jack

: Governor Brewer is in New York o
New England but has no informatio
of positive character on which t
base his conclusion except the new
paper reports that were published a

that Governor Brewer has several Q,
