MEAT HIGHER THIS WEEK
Another Uniustified Increase Predict
cd In New York.

The quarantine against cattle.
made necessary by the rapid spread
of foot ot-and-mouth disease in lC
states has alraedy forced the prices
Of meat up in this city. and it is pre-
dicted today that further and
greater increase will be made this
week unless the scourge is checked
and the quarantine lifted
All meats have advanced three
and four cents pound retail but
the most marked increase was noted
in the price of beef, lamb and mutton
The prices which hogs and calves
have been recently bringing did not
show great change.
One retail dealer with several shop;
in the city declared hat the SHARP
advance of three and four cents in the
price Of meats was unwarranted.

GIRLS BODY FOUND.
Mysterious Death of Young Woman
of Maine.

Presoue Isle Me-, Nov. 9.-The
body of Mildred Sullivan, Of Houlton,
who disappeared early in September
and for whose alleged murder Dr.
Lionel E. Dudley, of this town, was
arrested was found about a mile from
Pressure Isle after two days syste-
matte search. The authorities i'm
mediately took into custody Perley
Pelletier and his sister Alice as ac-
cessories. The Sullivan CIR! is al
legged to have been at the Pellctier
hcme here shortly before her disap-
pearance.
Dr.. Dudley was first taken into
custody in connecti0ig with the case
last September when he was held in
Boston Oh charge of performing an
illegal operation and was brought
back to this county. At that time
Alice Peletier and Kate Michaud. Of
Wallagrass' were held as accessories.
They were released OH bail.
Information which the county offic-
ials received Saturday caused the
new arrest Of Dr.. Dudley on the mur-
der charge.
This information led also to the
search of a particular section of
woods for the body, which was found
buried without even box for q cof
fin. According to the officials, Z
statement by the Michaud girl led
to the finding of the body.
Miss Sullivan was II years old,
and of attractive appearance. She
was last seen alive early in Septem-
Der, when she came here from her
home in Houlton.

TO STIR PATRIOTISM,
England Realizes She Has Been Sub
iected to Great Humiliation by
Disasters to Her Navy.

London. Nov. 9.-With parliament
convening on Wednesday for its sec
ord "war session." great interest Is
being manifested in the attitude the
opposition may take toward the gov
ernment, especially in relation to the
affairs Of the admiralty.
There is also the question of the
plans adopted by the war office Tor
raising the army for service IN
France and Belgium, as well as the
system of censorship which permits
the public to know but little Of what
is transpiring in the field. The wis
dom OF the withholding Of any lnlcr-
nation which might by any chance
be of value to the enemy is recog-
nized, but the comparatively slight
response to the appeals for recruits
is attributed to the fact that nothing
is evident in England to arouse the
patriotic fervor Of her fighting men
Members of the opposition feel de-
spite the fact that vessels sunk in
the North Sea by the German sub
marine raids were Of little real value,
that England has been humi!tated
by the heavy toll.
The defeat of Admiral Cradock' S
squadron off the Chilean coast came
as climax to the growing sentiment
for a demand that the admiralty as
synie scyac offensive tc Offset -hege
victories of the Germans.
1t is officially denied that Yarmouth
was bombarded by German cruisers
last week, but admitted that these
vessels did approach extremely close
to the coast city.
