Fancy Dry Goods and Small Wares
of the firm of Arnold & Sleeper, l
shall continue that part of the busi-
ness at the old stand of the said
firm
Not having the capital or inclina-
ton to do the extensive credit busi-
ness the old firm did, it will ultimate
ly benefit the trade as we'll as myself
for many reasons, one of which is,
that merchandise can be handled at
much smaller profit for cash than
on extended credit. There are many
bargains / am offering now, as the
stock must be reduced in the next
two months, also odds and ends, and
remnants for sale at bargain.
Thanking the public for their pat

hope to merit a continuance of part
of the same.

The jury empannelled to try j. Frank
Walker for the murder OF Albert Daggett,
discharged a disagreeable duty Saturday,
with commendable promptuess and as,
according to the fscts-nresentad and law
----o = 100 pi>s- 49, ..a
propounded. There can be no question,
but that the deed which Walker was con-
victed OF WAS most wanton and wicked and
his conviction Is only the natural result of
the enforcement Of just laws In law.abid-
ing communitys The morbid sentimen'a sn
which prevsded the court room at the first
trial, and attempted to make hero Of the
murderer, was given very back seat at
this trial and the facts In the case were
alone presented to the jury. The counsel
for the prisoner were untiring In their eff.
forts to make the most favorable showing
possible for their client but 1t was uphill
work. Many ugly facts stood out against
him and the government presented them In
q very realistic form. Counsel never put
forth more efforts to save . client, but 1t
was oil in vain. Those who thought the
one Juror who contended against the eleven
at the former trial, for the same verdict
which is now obtained, obstinat must now
confess that he alone WAS right and he has
the satisfaction Of seeing a whole pannel
endorse his position.

MUCH TALKED OFMAN.


Soon aiter the death of Ex Gov. Coburn,
IL began to be nolsed about that he had
been defrauded out Of large sums OF money
BY . man named Patterson, who was inter-
ested Ia building a railroad 10 Kansas. As
the story went the late Kx.Governor had
Invested $560,0OO In this scheme which
proved to be . paper railroad. 1t was al.
80 said that news OF this bad Investment
shortened the Governors life. Thess sto
rles were widely circulated and pro duced
quite q sensation in financial circles.
The other day the executors OF Gov.
Coburns estate, received a dispatch from
c. G. Patterson of Boston, saying he
would be In Skowhegau IN day or two,
and would be pleased TO meet them. Yes
terday morning when the train arrived
medium sized man with carefully trimmed
brown beard, dressed IN fashionably cut
close fitting business suit, stepped from
the car and was driven 10 Hotel Coburn TO
breakfast. This was Mr.. Z. g. Patterson,
well known character iu Boston and
New York railroad circles. He Is no
several times on business with Gov. Co
burn. Late In the day he met the execu-
tors and after the interview returned to the
hotel to dinner. Our reporter called his
attention to the newspaper reports con
cerning his operations In railroads, but he
asked to be excused from talking. He
said however, tnat all railroad investments
had been unsatisfactory Of late and the
road In which the Governor had invested,
in Kapsas was no exception. As to the
amount invested he said 1t was not nearly
$500, 900 and besides the Investment was IN
no sense worthless. He said he could rea-
lize good sum on the securities any day.
He was contractor of roads and Re took
his pay In bonds which he sold. The first
he ever heard OF Gov. Coburn was when he
received cheek for $4,000 from him for
bonds which he sent, This led TO a person.
al acquaintance aud the sale of more bonds.
The road has l6 miles In operation aud 40
miles more graded, and as it runs through
fine country is sure to be good property
at an early day.
Mr. Patterson is a thoroughly drilled man
of the world, who sits quietly putting a ci-
gar, even when talking about large hazard
Gus operations. He is not disturbed In the
least Oy the stories published about biz
and says he has too much business on his
hands to give them any attention. He
said that he had submitted O PROPOSE
tion to the executors, which wo I'D relieve
them of the much talked of bonds.

gan, held last week at Solon very sue
cessful musical convention, composed Of
singers from Skowhegan, Madison, Bing-
ham, Anson and Embden. 1t lasted two
days. The time being so short, singers
and director sang with will and large
amount of work was accomplished. The
convention closed with concert. which
was the best ever given in town. The cho-
rus of 40 voices rendered anthems, glees,
hymn tunes, etc., In an inspiring manner.
There were also songs, DUETS, trios and
auartetts, with which the audience were
much pleased. The people of Somerset
County have long been proud of Mr.. Smi-
ley, as one OF the best singers In the State
and one who is sure o. success In conven-
ton work, because he possesses the gift,
Indispensable in successful musical direc-
tor, Of infusing life and energy into each

Several of the daily papers 10 this state
aud 10 Boston, are amusing their readers
with walls over their fsiiure to publish the
Will Of Gov. Coburn, as soon as 1t appeared
10 the REPORTER and Boston journal.
For once the Associated Press awoke 70 the
importance and tried its best to purchase
the document from this office Such ami
nation on the part of this aged and fossil
lized organization put the custodians of the
will on their guard. The Boston Herald

instrument, then he demanded it, but Doth

at the door OF this office where we were
quietly printing of our regular edition of

coverted document "Toby" had brought
a telegraph operator with him and was all
prepared for business. Strange to say the
executors were deaf to his entreaties and

will from him ian outrage gentlemen, an
outrage" they quietly lit their pipes and
smoked. This exssperated the veteran and
he departed from their presence and again
kicked away at our door. Alas 1t was all In
vain, the hard hearted men of Skowhegan,
cared not for Toby. Disguised at his fail
ure, he repaired to his hotel. As
he departed the next morning, his face
wore . hsggard look as though he bad suf
fered much and long.

gladly have compiled With the request of
our newspaper friends and at one time
thought We were in q position so to do,
but when we discovered our inability

early hour Wednesday. The news boy
