Waldo County Veteran Association.

About 100 Grand Army veterans met at
Swan Lake, Swanville last Thursday and
organized the Waldo County Veteran Assoc
citation. Nearly every post in the county
was represented, and about thirty veterans
and ladies Were present from Belfast Mr.
T. A. Whitcomb, of Searsport who owns
several cottages at the lake, opened them for
the use of the veterans.
The company was called to order by NJ c.
Dilworth, of Belfast, who briefly stated the
object of the meeting, which was tor the
concentration and mutual advantage of the
veterans i'll the county. 1t would be neces-
sary to have some place where annual re-
unions could be held The following officers
We're elected:
Alfred E. Nickerson, Swanville, president.
NJ. C. Dilworth, Belfast, secretary.
George W. Boulter, Belfast, treasurer
The several commanders of the posts in
the county are to be ex-otficio vice presidents.
James Pattee, NJ. c. Dilworth, r. G. Dyer,
of Belfast, Mr.. Dawson, of Monroe, were
made a committee on rules and regulations
William Sanborn and George w. Boulter,
of Belfast, and Tolford Durham, of Monroe,
were made committee on the purchase of
the Battery property in Belfast. The price
Of this property is considered satisfactory
and the disposition is to buy it. 1t is thought
that shares of stock at 81 each could be is
! ued and taken by the veterans, no one to
hold more than ten shares. If this property
is bought barracks will be erected, where
reunions can be held, etc.
The next meeting will be held in Belfast,
November 18th.
Two barrels of CLANS were baked and
with picnic dinner made slunptuous

Points Oh Produce.

SHEEP AND LAMBS. Our Thorndike CORE
spondent writes: Farmers are getting anx-
ous to sell lambs and sheep. Thus far but
few lots have been sold and buyers are few"
APPLES. Mr.. H. G. Pitcher is buying ap-
pies at the rate of 100 barrels per day. stor-
ing them in the Mansfield building near the
foot of Main street, which is his shipping
point Mr. Pitcher says there is a good apple
crop in Waldo county, and while the fruit is
not so large as in some former years he has
never seen apples in better condition. They
are of good color, fair, and very free from
worms.
CARROTS. Mr.. Charles A. Morrill,, of
Belmont, has raised this year 800 bushels of
carrots, and thinks he is the champion sor
Waldo county. They are worth from 40 to
80 cents per bushel. The carrots were raised
on half an acre of land and were planted in
rows three feet apart Mr.. Morrill, said he
could have raised them on one-quarter of
an acre but planted them a long distance
apart so that he could use horse in the Gull
tivation. Carrots are excellent feed for stock
particularly horses, and Mr.. Morrill, sells
large quantities to our local horse men.
HAY. The hay trade is not so brisk at this
season as it was one year ago. Farmers are
holding their stock and the Belfast buyers
are not receiving large quantities. The price
paid is So per ton for good hay which is one
dollar per ton more than was paid at the
corresponding time last year. The hay crop
is large throughout the county and is kept
back owing to scarcity of cars to move it,
When the break comes the natural ten
dency will be lowering of prices. Our
farmers should watch the market closely and
sell when they think the best prices can
be obtained. They should not, however,
think that the crop in Maine controls the
price, as it is only small partof the har-
vest.

close of the campaign Postmaster Gen
eral WanamalSer sought an interview
with Prick, and this interview
was heralded by republic
an paper as relating to that
business. There is no room for doubt
that the republican leaders tried to get
a contribution from the Carnegie estab-
lishment and did it in so public a man
ner as to imply that they were not
ashamed Of it. If the reaction did them
an injury, there is every reason to
believe it did, they have only them
selves to blame. They had won so long
by means of corruption funds that they
had come to believe that such means
were irresistible.
But, after all, Mr.. Carnegie was not
the real Burchard of the campaign.
That eminence must be reserved for
Hon. William Mckinley, of Ohio. 1t
was he that did the work with his tar
tiff bill of denominations. A month after
its passage the people re buked it with
the voice of political earthquake and
the sweep of tidal wave. Mr.. McKin-
ley was not convinced and not dis
mayed. He coolly said that the people
did not know what they were about; that
they had not had time enough to appre-
ciate the beauties of his bill, but that in
two years more they would be madly
in love with it. The party accepted
that view of the matter, and readily
adopted the Mckinley nonsense about
the foreigners paying the tax. Two
years of deliberation have not changed
the views of the people upon this ques-
ton. The disciples of Mckinley should
not shrink from the issue which they
forced upon their party. Carnegie is
only side issue. Mckinley is the real

Louis
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 16-Col John Chinn.
starter at the East St Louis Jockey
club track. was shot. and, it is believed.
fatally wounded yesterday afternoon
by Capt d. d. Anthony. Col Chian
returned . day or two ago from Chics-
go. where he had been handling the
flag at the Hawthorne track
The East ST. Louis Jockey club,
which holds contract with Chinn, had
consented to the arrangement. but on
finding difficulty in filling his place or
dered him to return
The turn of affairs did not just exact
" suit Mr.. Chinn, and he was in a de-
cidedly bad temper. He came back
and took his place, however He was
in very bad humor, and read the riot
act to the jockeys before racing began
and before the day was over made a lot
OF ugly talk about several persons con-
nected with the track His work was
not of a kind to grow enthusiastic over,
and the directors OF the club held a
meeting, at which 1T was decided to.
suspend Chinn indefinitely.
Yesterday morning Chinn began
drinking heavily and at noon was quite
intoxicated His order of dismissal was
made out, but he did not show up at
the track until after the first race was
run The club had secured Starter
Dwyer, of the Madison track, to handle
the flag, and he was in the box ready
for the second race when Chinn ap-
peared and took the flag awayfrom him
and started the horses
! After the race Secretary Sinclair
found Chinn among the stables and
presented him his discharge Chinn
said that If he did not start the horses
no one else should, and refused to &C
cePt the paper, at the same time catch
ing hold of Mr.. Sinclairs coat collar
with one hand and reaching down into
his boot with the other and drawing a
large dirl1-knife. Two police caught
Chinn and tried to disarm him, he in
the meantime making desperate efforts
to get at Alexander with the knife
Capt Anthony came upon the scene
at this moment and seeing that Chinn
was about to get the best of the police
men he drew his revolver and fired full
in Chinn's face The ball Struck Chinn
in the mouth and ranged upward, COM
ing out back of the ear. Chinn was
removed to hospital on this side of
the river, where he lies with but slight
hopes of his recovery. Col. Chinn is
/ known all over the country in turf
! circles
