This lecture, to be given by Professor
Lee Of Bowdoin College, on Thursday eve
ming, November 18th, at Kotzschmar Hall,
is exciting much interest among scientific
and professional men In this vicinity. AL
ready large number of tickets have been
sold by the members of the Portland Cam
era Club, under whose auspices the lecture
is to be given. As is well known, several
members of the expedition were Portland
people. and, besides, Professor Lee, who
was the head Of the party, needs no intro
duction to Portland people either as lec-
turer or as a scientific man. The expert
ences of the party are closely followed, and
the places visited are illustrated by about
a hundred views, thrown on screen by a
powerful lantern.
Professor Lee has lectured in some of
our sister cities to very large audiences,
and our citizens are advised to procure
tickets at once. for owing to the size of the
hall the number of seats must necessarily
ha limited

A GANG OF BURGLARS OPERATING IN KE.
EAR FALLS.
We are having some rather cold weather.
The ground is frozen quite hard. Although
we have had some rain, still the ground is
dry. and the streams and wells are very
low. Should winter set in without heavy
rains to fill the ground and wells, it will
make 1t hard for most all, and some fami-
lies and stock must suffer for want of wa
ter before next spring.
There appears to be a gang of burglars
hanging around In this vicinity, and their
efforts seem to centre at the village of Ke-
Ear Falls. Some time ago an effort was
made to break into the boot and shoe store
of William Chapman by cutting out pane
Of glass from one of the windows, but the
burglars were frightened away before thew
accomplished their object. Their next at
tempt was at the store of j. A. Libby. They
bored holes in the cellar door. but from
some cause gave 1t up. About a week
since they bored hole in the door of Gard
ner Davis's store, In which the post
office is located, and saturating the
inside with kerosene, set 1t on fire, but
as there was family living over the
store the fire was discovered in time to
save the store. Had the store burned It
must have communicated 20 other build
ings standing near. The past week they
set fire to the tool house of Jesse Bullock.
which was standing short distance from
his other buildings out in the field. 1t
was burned down with the most of his
farming tools and a. quantity of shingles
Loss some $500. The same night another
attempt was made to burn shop in the
village. formerly used for meat market,
by boring hole in the door and saturating
some old rags with kerosene. putting them
Inside and setting them on fire, but it was
discovered in time to prevent it from burn
ing. Now 1t is question in the minds of
the people whether 1t Is o gang from some
city or made up from roughs In the vicinity
Of the place.

Paid In His Own Coin.

Rev. A. S. Ladd of Gardiner, formerly
pastor of the Congress street Methodist
church in this city, has just been the prin-
cipal figure in good joke there. Rev. Mr..
Ladd had collected 400 copper coins ana
he thought he would pass them upon a
merchant In exchange for goods, which be
did and laughed heartily at the evident
discontinue Of the latter as the weighty
avalanche of copper poured In upon him.
A short time afterwards Rev. Mr.. Ladd
was called to officiate in very important
ceremony for this same man. and after the
congratulations had been offered and the
happy couple were about to depart, the
groom placed In the minister's hand neat
box with thanks, ETC.. for the important
service rendered, which upon opening, the
contents were found to consist Of one
thousand of those Identical copper cents
given to the trader few weeks before.
