EVIDENCE OLA CALENDAR.
The Case of William Barnes Accused of
Robbing Post Office.

William L. Barnes, who was arrested
on charge of breaking into the post
Office at Albion, and whose case was con-
tinued by Commissioner Bradley until
the Goth inst, was brought before the
commissioner yesterday.
The government had four witnesses in
attendance to break down Barnes's own
testimony given at the first hearing. 1t
will be remembered that Barnes testified
that the calendar in his possession was
given to him by the clerk of the hotel at
Freedom, and therefore could not have
been stolen by him from the post office
in Albion.
Nh. w. A. Webb, clerk of the hotel at
Freedom, testified yesterday that he
never gave the calendar TO Barnes. The
calendar hung on nail in the hotel and
resembled the one in Barnes's possess
ion, but it remained hanging on its
nail at the hotel until December 31st or
January 1st when he took it down and
threw it away.
G. A. Drake, postmaster at Albion, tes-
titled that his store and the post Office
were broken into the night of December
10th, and the next morning the calendar
was missed and with it $3.50 in stamps,
pair of shoes and some handkerchiefs.
The calendar found in the prisoner S
possession was exactly like the one TAX
en- and the piece that had been torn from
it made just such tear as would have
occurred if it had been pulled from a
nail.
Hadley P. Doe testified that he lived
about mile and half from the Albion
post office. and man passed his house
between the hours of and o'clock
December 10th who answered the de-
scription Of Barnes, though he couldn't
positively swear the prisoner was the
man.
Prescott Shibles Of Knox identified the
prisoner as the man he saw in October OF
December and testified that he never
gave him the postal guide found in his
possession, or any postal guide.
Under the testimony offered, the COM
missioner felt warranted in binding
Barnes over to the February term of the
District Court in $500 bonds, and failing
to give them Barnes was committed.
District Attorney Dyer appeared for the
government and Barnes had no counsel.
Deputy Sheriff Hill of Augusta, equipped
with aphotograph of Barnes, yesterday
went to the towns of Albion, Brooks.
Thorndike and Knox, and there got such
information as he thinks will warrant
the summoning of quite number OF
persons in those places as witnesses
when the case is tried before Judge
Webb.

Uncomfortable Rumor About General
Dow.

DOWs
There was most persistent rumor
about the streets yesterday that General
Neal Dow was dead. 1t started early in
the forenoon, and although investigation
proved that the Father of Prohibition
was well and in the best of spirits, the
rumor kept abroad. A PRESS reporter
encountered it at noon several times, and
at nightfall it was still perambulating
the streets, in spite of the storm. There
seemed to be but one explanation of the
starting of the rumor. Early in the
morning, SO it is said, one man said to
another, ''The acquittal of those drug
gists charged with rumselling, will kill
General Dow, won't it?' The man adj
dressed seems to have misunderstood,
and reported to the next man he met
that the verdict had killed the General.

In the early part Of the year the ques-.
ton of liberalizing the policy contracts of
the Company was considered and as a re-
suit, new applications and policy blanks
were adopted and the old forms retired.
The present policies of the Union Mutu-
al, embodying as they practically do, all
the liberal ideas in Life Insurance, and
protected as they are by the popular
Maine Non-forfeiture Law, present con-
tracts as whole which we believe to be
