Harrison all one-termers were less aggressive than Roosevelt in having their way in spite of party or public.

REY. E. 0. ELLIS

IS FROM HIS SOUTH NINTH ST." HOME SINCE TUESDAY FAMILY DISTRESSED Over His Strange Disappearance Was Last Seen by the Palladium On Monday. The following startling commnicatio nwas handed to the Palladium today : Rev. O. E. Ellis Missing. "Rev. Elwood O. Ellis left his home, corner of Ninth and South A streets, at 1:30 p. m. on Tuesday, July 5th, taking with him about f 100 to pay some bills in the city, since which time 'nothing, has been heard of him. His family are much distressed at his absence. Any one having any mformation of him since theti will confer a favor by advising his friends in Richmond. " The above statement contains all that is known of Rev. Ellis's strange actions. A Palladium representative called at the Ellis home and found the family very much distressed over the absence of their husband and father, and Mrs. Ellis is under the doctor's care. The only information they were able to impart is contained in the foregoing statements. The family have noted nothing strange in his actions of late and nothing to indicate that he had any intention of leaving home. A Palladium representative had a talk with Rev. Ellis last Monday morning, and observed a strangness in his actions. He is usually the kindest man on earth to newspaper men and always gives them all the news he knows anything about. On last Monday he did not seem as ommunicative as is his custom, and it was noticed by the reporter and was afterward mentioned. He seemed to have something on his mind and wanted to get away. Rev. Ellis has hosts of warm friends in this city, who will be pained to learn of his disappearance and only trust that in a short time the mist will be lifted and the whole truth known, and that in that knowledge nothing but good will result. Mr. Ellis's family are among the most intellectual in the city and stand in the highest rank. For the Reid Memorial Church Completed.
