KINGFIELD HEEOES.-''E. r. Pillsbury
spoke in oxford County last week. The
oxford Democrat says that he opened his
speech by stating, As a matter of personal
explanation, that he had no part in the
Kingfeld riot, As was charged by recent
speaker. 1t doubtless is true that he was
not personally present when the Kingield
democrats actually rose in rebellion against
the United States. But il is undeniably
true that he was personally responsible for
that rising. His paper, the Franklin Pa
tri0t. week after week, in most violent
terms counSeled resistance to the govern
ment His speeches in kingtleld and other
parts OF the county even outran his paper
in violence and vilenesS. Not only was
the Kingfeld rising the direct result Of his
paper and his speeches, but he was per-
sonally regarded by the Kingfield rebels as
their leader; and We had direct evidence
at the time, that he was most roundly
damned by them for having induced the
rising and then cowardly deserving them. "

HARD TniRs-FOR WHoM?-The Toledo
Blade reasons that the times must be very
hard, "for the Nationals and Democrats
say So" Still, 1t cannot help noticing
that farmers are selling everlasting guam
titles of wheat at good price, they get
their goods at a very low rate, mechanics
are generally employed at fair wages, and
everybody who will work finds something
to do. Every city in the United States Is
building rapidly and the country never
showed such marked signs of improvement.
Manufactures are running on full time
every where, mills that have been for a
long time idle are resuming, and they find
ready and profitable market for all they
make, Gen, Ewing asks US to reverse the
policy that has produced these beneflcent
results and try his theories. Excuse US.

Explosives as Fire KfndIers.


Year after year warnings are published in
the newspapers against the practice, in which
some house servants and fewer housewives
indulge. of kindiing fires with coal oil.
Sometimes the warning is simple account
of fatal accident sometimes it is in com
ments thereon. The warnings however. do
not seem to be needed; and now comes the
story of a woman who used blasting powder
with which to kindIe a fire, and caused
an explosion, fatally injuring herself
and two children. The use of powder
for kindling fires was not unusual in
the army during the war but the fires
were in the open air, and the powder was
used by men familiar with its properties.
They were, indeed, SO we'll acquainted with
the danger attending its use that they never
tried the experiment until all other means
had failed to quicken fire, and then with
extreme caution. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that all explosive compounds, and all
burning fluids should be kept away from
the stove, and that. under no circumstances,
should an attempt be made to add powder
or Oil to a fire. 1t is bad enough to saturate
wood with oil before lighting 1t, which is a
practice very apt to lead to carelessness and
danger. but the attempted pouring of oil on
a flame Is an act OF suicide.

A Valuable Improvement I'm Cooking
stoves.

The utility and convenience of a shelf at
tachment to the oven of cooking stoves is
now universally acknowledged by all mousse
keepers who have used or seen them, and it
is matter of choice whether the shelf is
permanently attached to the side of the
stove, or opened and closed inside of the
oven by the movement of the door. The
Grand Charter Oak will hereafter be con-
structed so that either the automatic or per-
manent shelf can be ordered with any size.
Our attention has been called to q circular
containing caution against the use of auto
matte shelves, issued by certain parties who
claim to own letters patent No. 1901, stat
ing that they have brought suit against this
company for infringement on said patent,
and warning all persons not to buy CT use
stoves having such shelves and made by us.
We have only this to say in regard to the
matter that we shall vigorously defend this
suit and have no doubt of our success in
such defense, and hereby agree to protect
each and every person buying, selling or
using our Grand Charter Oak, or other stoves
of our manufacture, from any damage by
reason OF any claims said parties can have
under said letters patent As our construc-
ton of shelves is not only covered but fully
protected by valid letters patent owned by
us, but are acknowledged by dealers and all
Others who have seen them to be much more
simple in construction, to operate easier and
to be less liable to get out of order than any
other kind in the market, and we will cheer
fully ship sample of our Grand Charter
Oak, with an automatic shelf, to any re-
sponsible dealer or bousekeeper who desires
to examine it before purchasing, and at the
end of ten days, If it is not acknowledged as
having more conveniencesa and being the best
constructed, finest finished, most elegantly
proportioned, perfectly operating and beavi-
est cooking stove ever made or offered for the
price at which it is rapidly being sold, it can
be held subject to our order, and we will pay
all expenses Respectfully yours.
