A Revelation.

Our sister town of Fairfield had a reve-
lation few weeks ago, that let the light
shine in onto some people to their awak-
ening and conversion. Like every other
town, Fairfield had some men who could
not see the benefit of water works and
who fought the rental of hydrants tooth
and nail" when it came up in that town,
but they were overruled by the men of
public spirit and foresight. Now for the
awakening. Fire broke out In Duren's
lumber yard, with a stiff breeze blowing
directly toward the business center of the
village. Did the fire spread and become a
destructive one? OF course it did not
In less than two minutes several streams
of water were playing upon 1t from the
hydrants the citizens of Fairfield, In their
wisdom, had provided for the public
good at public expense, and the village
WAS saved from what would probably
have been the worst fire the people of
Fairfield ever saw.
The revelation to those conservative
Enthusiastically styled "kickers"-was
such that they speedily became converts
to the hydrant system of water works
and are reported to have said that in that
one fire the hydrants paid for the whole
Of their twenty years rental In saving
property.

There was fine game Of ball last Sat
urday between the Guy Bros and the Pi-
oneer Wooden Mill nine. From the fourth
to the last Of the tenth inning goose eggs
followed each other In rapid succession,
with the score tie, to 5. In the last
inning wild throw by Davis of ground
hit to short gave two bases, then Salley
threw wild to second, the ball going far
out into the field, and the winning runs
we're scored with DO men out The fea-
lures Of the game were the batting of
Riley, the pitching of OHara, and the
fine throwing to second of Libby.
G. A. Luce, the veteran building mover
of Fairfield was in town last week and
moved the old school house to It's new po-
sition on Park st. The work was done
In rapid and skillful manner, as none
can excel Mr.. Luce in this business.
Holman f. Day and wife of Dexter
were in town this week.
Miss Minnie Bickford of Waterville is
in town visiting Mrs. j. M. Wall.
Elder Walker of this place died very
suddenly on Tuesday morning of this
week OF hemorrage Of the lungs. He was
intending to go on vacation to try and
regain his former health. He was get
ting shaved in the barber shop of Pushor
4 Bedford when a stream of blood squirt
ed from his mouth and nose. A lounge
was quickly procured and he was placed
upon it and medical assistance summoned,
but he was dead in few minutes.

w. NJ. Ellis, while digging bait for fish
ing purposes back of the stable, unearthed
silver teaspoon that had been lost for
over thirty-two years. The spoon was
somewhat blackened by the exposure, but
secured up nearly as bright as ever. The
letters ar. f." were engraved upon the
handle
The North Pond House WAS the recipl-
ent of quite a large party on Saturday
last, Mr.. Murphy giving his shop hands a
holiday and fine sail on North Pond
The thinker kennerson" passed through
town on his annual circuit, making all a
call, mendng all kinds of tinware. Mr.
HENDERSON is something over 20 years old
and has been travelling through the coun-
try for nearly half century, following
his present occupation, Although "long
of limb and lank OF jaw yet he holds
his age to remarkable degree, and bids
fair to use his soldering iron many years
to come.
The party of this neighborhood, who a
week ago started on a blueberrying tour
up the kennebec, returned Monday last,
having visited Pleasant Pond and The
Forks. They report blueberries very
scarce at Pleasant Pond, but quite good
picking farther up the river.
Potatoes have nearly "gone up the
spout this year, the rust having killed
the tops of many pieces, and consequent
ly the crop in this vicinity must be some
what less than one-half the usual crop.
Lawton & Emmonds are unusually busy

and oversight and no pains
shall be spared to avoid mis-
takes that sometimes occur in
the prescription business.
If pure and reliable drugs,
surety against accidents, mo-
dcrate prices, dispatch and
neatness are what is required,
then can, with confidence,
ask and expect the patronage
OF the good people of Show
hogan and Somerset County
in this department of my
business.
Persons who are booked up
know that there has never
been a time, when so many
officinal and semi-othcinal pre-
parations have been put upon
the market as now, by the
great manufacturing Chemists
OF the country. My aim shall
be to keep in stock the best
of these and procure others
that are called for at short
notice.
AS to assistants, | have two
clerks, who are getting well
up in the drug business, and
are now taking a regular
course of study in Pharmacy
and their aim is to stand in
the first rank as Pharmacists.
My other departments | shall
speak of later, but be assured
that each one shall be in first
class running order.

Favorable Propositiop.

The proposition made by the Water
Company to lease the Village Corporation
- hydrants for fire purposes for the sum
of : p00 per year, Is a very favorable
one, and much below the extra cost of
construction and expense of running
water works for fire purposes, rs com
pared with works for domestic purposes.
This rental would amount to but per
cent on the cost of the works, TO say
nothing of the expense of running the
cost of the works for fire purposes above
what they would have cost, put in simply
to supply water for domestic purposes
1t is really much below the price at
the hydrants and make fair thing out of
it, and is as low a price as any fair
minded citizen can ask the Company to
make.
The great majority of citizens Of Skow-
hogan believe in the works, are glad they
are in, and would not have them out I'M
der any consideration. They want the
protection from fire risk and many are
willing To pay fair price, but, on the
other hand, there appears to be with
many disposition TO drive sharp bar
gain with the Water Company, and be-
cause they have got the works In and need
the rental to help pay interest on the cost
Of the works, seem to be disposed to
crowd the price below fair living tg-
ure.
If the citizens don't want the works,
that is one thing If they do want them,
they should be willing to pay reasonable
price for their rental.
1t has been said that the Water Com
pany ought to have secured rental be-
fore putting in the works. This may be
true, but there Is this about it. II the
Company had waited for this desirable
thing, Skowhegsn would have been en-
tirely innocent of water pipes and by
drants to-day.
At 81 900 rental, the man with 81 900
worth of taxable property would he called
upon to pay sl.00 extra in way of village
corporation tax. What man in Skowhe-
gan would not be glad to pay this amount
for the sake of the security that comes
through this system, even did he not get
back anything in reduction Of insurance
rates?

A Sugar SWIndIe.

The collapse of the Magdeburg sugar
ring exposes gigantic attempt at fraud
in sugar in which the New York sugar
trust was involved. A syndicate was
formed to buy all the spot sugar offered
in foreign markets and it succeeded In OBJ
tanning control of 10000, 900 pounds of
sugar, all of which was stored at Magde-
burg. This was sold to the New York
sugar trust at a good price.
The plan was to deliver the sugar I'M
der the Dutch standard of which grade
the custom duty would be moderate. The
sugar was over the standard and this rem
dered the duty prohibitive. Accordingly
a plan was adopted Of coloring the whole
mass down to the 18th standard, but as
the process is risky the banks refused to
advance any more money and the scheme
went to pieces and great crash must
come very soon.
To understand the magnitude of the
swindle attempted on the American treas
ury 1t must be recalled that the whole
involved some S5,0O0,00O
The tariff ON this German sugar In its
natural state would have been Ia cents
per pound. The Madgeburg schemers
tried to reduce it to a grade where it
would only be taxed POS cents per pound.
The difference between these two gross
would be about 81 1876 900, which
would be what the treasury would have
lost by the plan If II had not gone wrong.
