short time, when complaints began to pour in
from all sections of TIE State, that letters con-
tanning money and passing through 1.-THE Houl-
ton post office never reached their destination.
In order that the thief might be detected, de-
coy letters containing marked bills that could
be easily identified were put into the pouches
passing through this office, directed to parties
in upper Aroostook and to business houses in
various sections of the State. Mr.. Bigelow did
not wish to go to Aroostook personally, as he is
SO well-known that he feared the guilty party
might take the alarm. He sent the local mail
agent of Augusta, Mr.. e. G. Stevens, to Houl-
ton to look out for the decoys and also to get
some parties in the post Office to watch the
movements of Boyd. By arrangement, the
other clerk in the post Office aoas taken SICK and
had to stay out a .teao days. Boyd thus had the
whole work to do alone, and at once eagerly
fell into the trap SO cunningly set for him. He
was seen to take several of the decoy letters
containing the marked bills, open them, take
out the money and destroy the envelope and
paper. He was at once arrested and lodged in
Houlton Jail. This was on Saturday evening
The fact having been telegraphed to Mr.. Bige-
low he directed the authorities to hold Boyd
in custody until process can be issued by
the United States court at Bangor, to which
place he will be brought for trial on Wednes-
day. He will be arraigned on two counts-for
embezzlement of funds and for robbing the U.
S. mail.

Death of DR.. Samuel A. Bemis.

Sunday DR.. Samuel a. Bemis died at his
late residence ut Bemis Station, Bartlett, N.
H., at the advanced age of SIS years and ii
months. He had lived there more than forty
years, leaving his native place, Boston, years
before a railroad was thought of or deemed
feasible to be run through the White Noun
tain Notch. The house in which he died he
built himself of granite cut from the ledge di-
rectly in the rear of the building. He leaves
property estimated to be worth between $780,
900 and $4,000 in Bartlett, but the bulk of his
large estate is in houses and stores in Boston.
He leaves, we believe, no near relatives, but
for number of years Mr.. Merely and wife OF
Bartlett have lived with him and managed his
farm and other property there He was a man
of striking appearance, with a long, flowing
beard, of silvery whteness. DR.. Bemis was a
man much esteemed by the people among
whom the closing years Of his long life were
passed.

large audience of our most intelligent citizens
Among the few foreign topics that now attract
the attention of the civilized world none is
more important than that of Nihilism, which
finds its best hold in Russia. M ISIS Borg is SO
thoroughly familiar with the country and the
people that her lecture will not only prove in
teresting but highly instructive. The tickets
can be found at Loring, Short & Harmon's.

TheBurRIars are DIscovered.but Make
Their Escape.


At about eleven O'Clock last night at
the residence of A. II. Swan, a very
bold attempt was made at burglary, but
an unsuccessful one withal. Mrs.
Swan and her daughter, Louie, had re-
tired but were, aroused by the noise
made by parties attempting to raise one
Of the windows in the rear Of the house.
Miss Louie sent the alarm over the
wires OF the local telegraph to the office
of Swan Bros, where were Will Swan,
Bert Richie and others, and they at
temptempted to capture the parties.
The would-be burglars became
alarmed however, and fed before the
party could get near enough to identify
or even describe the two transgressors.
Two revolver shots were sent after
them however, which, while they ap-
p%arently did no harm, will serve to re-
mind them Of the warm reception our
citizens will give such house breakers
whenever the opportunity offers.

Do not throw your money away on
worthless preparations that will do you
no good, but if you are troubled with a

try Addoms & Glover's Compound
Cough Syrup. This preparation is made

the most prominent physicians of the
country, and has been tried and recon-
mended by 80 many that we CAN safely
