When b. w. McKeen, secretary OF the
State board of agriculture, heard of the
death of Prof. Balentine he was at Farm
ingtou. At once he decided he would at
tend the funeral and started from there by
team for Norridgewock to take the train.
He arrived just in time to step from the
sleigh to the car, and the train being late,
he again had narrow escape of being left
At Waterville, the train arriving about a
minute before the Pullman departed for
Bangor. He attended the funeral at Orono,
rode back during the night and arrived in
Knox county in time the next day to hold
the appointed Farmers Institute. He had
a cold ride of % miles by sleigh. This
.eems to be an excellent illustration of the
friendship between Mr.. MeKeen and Prof.
Balentine, wbom all the members of the
State board of agriculture highly esteemed.

Preston Brown, No. s Gannett street, and

occupants had to flee for their lives,
and In ten minutes the entire interior
of the building was a seething mass
of flame, and in most incredible
short time huge masses Of flames shot
heavenward. 1t began to look as if
the entire row'must go, when the fire
engine, drawn by twenty or thirty
men, came rushing down and took po-
sition in the Abbott garden. In two
minutes line of b ose was strung and
the breaks manned, but 10, the ma
chine would not work and again hopes
went down to zero, but pail Or two
of hot water put the "Champion" in
the best Of heart and when its heavy
stream of water struck the burning
district it was manifest that but the
one building was doomed, notwith-
standing at this time the roof of the
blacksmith shop was in light blaze
and the Albee res idence catching in
several places, the Houghton residence
in the mean time receiving valuable aid
from landlord Strong's hose and force
pump. This proved tue. The old
store building went down but all others
were saved with some damage to the
Houghton house and dilapidated
roof and side of the blacksmith shop,
but with much hard work and gallan t
leadership.
The loss can be fairly placed at about
$4,000. OF this the larger share falls
to Rosenbaum, who claims to have
lost his all. H oughton and Albee ale
partially insured.
NOTES.
The ladies furnished hot coffee for
the workers.
Merchant w. H. Landman did
some fine work on the Houghton
building, guiding the hotel force pump
hose, when the heat was so intense
that he had to be covered with wet
blankets and snow.

and was the right man in the right
place. Landlord Strong, lawyer Cud-
worth, H. P. Yearly and oters were
active workers and advisers.

removed.

One thought about our present sys-
tenn of public schools. Some Of them
are nearly failure as usual, Thomp-
sonburg school for one, two of the
three terms nearly worthless on ac-
count of the directors transferring a
part Of the scholars, to North Wind
ham, so called, to where there was
only three scholars and in so doing
they shut out of school some scholars
causing the town to pay for transfer
ring five instead of three, nor is that
all, they had bought and put in the
winter wood in the woodshed at
Thompsonburg and then hired it taken
out land drawn to Windham where
they have no wood but burn coal or
peat. A. THINKER.

FIRE!

The monotony of quiet, everyday
life was sadly broken Wednesday eve
ming about 9 80 o'clock when the tap
OF the fire bell brought most of our
citizens in haste to their doors to dis
cover big blaze in the business por-
ton OF the village. 1t proved to be
the old store building owned by Silas
Houghton, situated nearly opposite
Smiths store and adjoining Hough-
toms residence and in few feet of
Albee's blacksmith shop, which in
turn was only a few feet from the
Albee residence which jutted upon the
Abbott house, occupied by j. o.
Lanphear. Opposite this row was
the residence of G.. G.. Smith and DIR.
B. F. Millington, Smiths store, the
SITTER block and the residence of G..
C. Robinson.
The building had been unocupied
for over year, except short time
last summer when the upper story
was used by Lee Gale as a photo
graph gallery, and more recently the
lower room had been used to store
kerosene. Last Saturday it was oc-
cupied by j. M. Rosenbaum who put
in about two thousand-dollar stock
Of clothing and advertised to sell at
auction. The first of these sales
came off on the fatal evening. The
crowd had dispersed there being only
two boys present and the proprietor
was preparing to close up for the
night when large Rochester hanging
lamp suddenly fell to the floor, igniling
and scattering the flames under count
ers and in all directions. Immediate
Efforts were made to smother the
flames but in less than minute the
