Jacob B. Huber, who resided en a farm
near Orevllle, Manhelm township, left hla
home rather suddenly en last Tuesday and
has net been seen In this section alnee. It la
almost certain tbat he left with the intention
of remaining away. When ha weal, ha told
his wile thst he did net knew when be
would be back. Shortly afterwards a letter
was received from him dated Harrlsburg
which contained very little et Importance.
Frem tbe fact that tbe letter was mailed at
Harrisburg la believed that ha haa gene
West
The cause of Huber'e flight Is believed te
be financial dittlcuitlea. Several yeara age
Huber failed, and since that time be has bean
doing business as his wife's agent He was a
fsrmer and also dealt In cattle, horses, &e. He
spent a great deal et time In this city and
did business here and throughout the oettn.
ty. New since it Is pretty certain that he
has fled, it has been learned that ha left
behind him many debts. Quite a
large number or well-known business
men, farmers and horse dealers lese by his
transactions. Heme et these were endorsers
en notes, which tbey will have te pay. Seme
were given worthless checks or otherwise
swindled. Hew much the total amount will
be la net known. Amecg tha leiera ara :

a large amount or Huber 'a paper baa been
protested recently.
It is believed that Huber has alseal ways bean
guilty et forgery. At tha Farmers' bank be
gave a note et $300 with the name et Ed
ward H. KaufTman aa the endorser. Mr.
Kauffman aaya tbat he did net sign the note
and tbe signature is a forgery. Te J. Mlnnlcb,
uueer gave a onecmera consiaerseie sum
of money, but there was no money in tha
bank te meet It In addition te these there
are many ether parties who have been caught
by Huber, and It Is believed that ether cases
of forgery will be developed.
Huber Is a man between 40 and 50 yean,
and is very respectfully connected. His wile
also comes from a very geed family and aha
Is greatly worried at ber husband's continued
abseneeaa well aa tha devalepmenta being

the dsys of Unionist domination of the
government are at an end. Lord Hartlngten
has a following la the dissident members,
but the members themselves have none In
tbe constituencies tbey misrepresent strong
enough te return them te the seata tbey held

would de them no geed at this late day te re
