Chicago, June, 22.—Sensational letters written by Frank Graham
McKelvey. a Pittsburg millionaire, and son of W. H. McKelvey, the mul

Both branches of the assembly will
probably get down to business with a
minimum of delay. The organization
of the house will be accomplished
speedily. It Is assured that Hon. John
M. Slaton, of Fulton, will be re-elected
speaker. So far E. H. McMIchael, of
Marion, Is the only announced candi
date for sjieaker pro tern. It Is equally
certain that Hon. John Boifeultlet, of
Macon, will be re-elected clerk of the
house.
Though the senate has a close race
on for the presidency. It le the opinion
that the question will be sjteedlly set
tled. Hon. E. T. Steed, of Carroll, Is
the only candidate for president pro
tent. C. S. Northen will bo re-elected
secretary of the eenate without oppo
sition.
It Is probable that the house and sen
ate committees will be named within a
few days aftfcr the seoslun opens, so
work may begin without delay. This
wilt be one of the busiest sessions ot
years: Many Important measures will
be Introduced and probably passed.
It la expected thal the anti-pass bill,
the antl-lobbylng bill, the disfranchise,
ment measure, tha bill to Increase the
number of the railroad commission
from three Jo five. and.many other Im
portant measures will be introduced at
the very beginning of the fifty-day see

teriously disappeared In Eastman on
June 4, but It le expected that sensa

As time passes and nothing la heard

mother of the missing man, stated Sat
