ARTHUR OTIS MISSING IN
A MYSTERIOUS MANNER

The police have been asked to be on
the lockout for enc Arthur Otis. who
is missing in a rather mysterious man.
ner. According to the story told by
the police he came into the city with
his wife and two children from visit
with his parents and they planned to
take the afternoon train for their home
in Thorndike. He had a little money
with him. and was to collect some
money from a man in the city. He left
his wife and children at the station
shortly after noon and went away to
see his debtor and that is the last that
his family has seen of him. His family
stayed at the station until the last
train for home had gone and then went
to tho home of a friend on Chaplain
street, where they remained for the
night. Tuesday morning they went to
their home in Thorndike,. Mrs. Otis
having just about money enough to
pay her fare home. The investigations
by the police developed that he found
the man who was owing him the sum
of 81 and collected it and told him that
he was going to collect from another
man but the name of the man could
not be learned. Otis is described as be-
ing y years of age weighing about
100 pounds. smooth shaven. wore a
grey suit and black overcoat with
green stripes in it and dark hat. Has
very bad teeth and they are noticeable.

The ballots in Ward were examined
ing at the request of the Democratic city
committee and it was decided that Fran
els NJ Joseph, the Democratic candidate
lof one of the councilmen, was elected
instead of Walter +. Noble. the Republi-
can candidate. 1t was agreed also that
Claire r. Marston, the other Republican
candidate, was elected over john Pooler
the Democratic candidate. The eXanina-
ton of the ballots for warden, ward clerk
ana constable gave majority to the
Democratic candidates and il is probable
that fight will be made to place them
in office. The returns of the election off
GERS for mayor and for alderman, while
changed, did not alter the CARRYING of the
ward for Meader for mayor and Simpson
for alderman. The change will give the
Democrats one more councilman and con-
troll of the election machinery in one
more ward. The election officers returne
Llewellyn Morrill, as warden when it
should have been Henry H. Ware; Will
liam II. Jones as ward clerk when it
should have been Fred 7. Shaw; Albert
Wade as constable when it should have
been Thomas Thbodeau. The changes
were the result of the election officers
throwing out as defective number of
ballots which were declared by those who
partook in the recount as being good The
election Of Joseph will go to the common
council, which will undoubtedly seat him
as there will be no opposition. The 9TH
er officers will have to be changed by
the courts

without saying that all did full justice
to the various courses, which included

ton, who is president Of the f. r.

uting concern. and treasurer of the

ments for the dinner We're under the
direction Of Mr.. Wilson.
A delightful feature of the evenings
program was a number of musical
sketches rendered by Miss Hazel
Childs of Worcester, Mass, who has
been secured by the company to play
comedy parts. Miss Childs proved that
she was also lightning change artist
and appeared in several pretty cos
tunes, and her rendition of some OF
the popular songs won much applause.
Miss Childs is a Lyceum artist. She
was accompanied on the piano by Ed
ward c. Bullock, supervisor of music
in the Augusta schools, who also rem
dered during the evening several piano
solos in a pleasing manner. The ban
Duet hall was tastefully decorated

people see the necessity for the church
and the Sunday school memberships
being identical. Every member of the
church ought to be also a member of
