Training a Young Moose.

Professor Proctor, who has been exhibit
ing his trained horses at Lewiston, arrived
In this city yesterday en- route to Dover, N.
H.,where the horses will perform this week.
With his horses he brought moose which
was captured not far from Houlton and
which has not yet become accustomed to
captivity. Professor Proctor harnessed the
timid animal, which is about year and
half old, and took him out in the powder
house field, opposite the Union Station. for
the purpose of training him. The young
moose was frightened and tried hard to get
away, and kept up pitiful cry all the time.
He was driven about the field for some time
when man appeared and requested Pro-
lessor Proctor to put the moose back into
the car, stating that he was disturbing the
public peace. Professor Proctor at once
complied with the request, and the exhibit
ton of moose training, novel in these parts.
was brought to an end.

time OF his death. He was self-made man.

may be termed his public life began, he said
to his father, ''If Id had chance to get an
education might have been smart man. .
The old man eyed his son for moment and
then said, John, you're smart man
now"
Mr.. Walton was all his active life a con-
tractor and carpenter. He Joined the Me-
chanic Association in 1897. He never took
extensive contracts, and never seemed to
want to get rich" as one of his old friends
said, but his moderate gains not only gave
him living, but enabled him to spend his
old age in comfort. Quaint to the last. when
he designed the house in which he lived for
the last years of his long life, he made it, as
he said but few weeks ago, '.just the kind
OF house an old man ought to have. all
down stairs" He was an old line Wing and
the last survivor of the first City Govern
ment of Portland representing Ward in the
Council in 1882. In 1895 he served in the
House of Representatives. A little later he
helped send Maine "hell-bent for Governor
Kent" and was in after years Republican.
He had no desire for office.
Mr.. Walton will be best remembered as n
temperance man. He came to the front in
lS4O. with the famous Washingtonian move
ment, and for years was frequent and
quaint as well as convincing speaker. he
liked to go.out among the masses and all
over Maine old people still tell stories of
John I. Walton. He was in dead earnest
and that very earnestness made him power.

swept over the entire land and is vet yividly

neers, doing good service in Neal Dow's
early campaigns. He was one of the best

to the last. Mr.. Walton was FREQUENT pnh.
Lie speaker-t to the close of his eigbty-eiebtb
year, when fast-coming blindness made him
feel that his active life was over, and that ID
was time for him to stop and rest And he
rested gracefully; no man more so. He
spent the most OF his time during the sum-
mer months out OF doors, and generally was
10 pc found In Lincoln park, where his ven
cradle figure attracted much attention. and
where he received many marks of public
respect. To the last, at least up to the time
ne ceased to come down town, his mind was
as clear as ever. His recollection of the two
books he had read and re-read, the Bible and
Shakespeare, was remarkable.
