Some Of the ruses employed by de-
tectives were explained in Pittsburg
few days ago by John r, Saville,
who happened to be in the city He
is one Of the cleverest men on the
Pinkerton force. He said: Zone OF
the hardest cases ! ever had TO work
was out in Ohio. A lot of barns had
been burned and no one could get
clue to who was doing it. You know
farmers barn represents all his
wealth outside Of the land. The en-
tire years crop is stored there, to-
gether with all his machinery, and
farming implements run into money.
when got TO the place looked
over all the cases and picked out one
where threatening letter had been
sent to the farmer couple Of weeks
before the barn was burned. asked
him if he had any enemies. The only
man he could remember Of having any
trouble with was farmer who also
ran blacksmith shop and was
class-leader at the church. He did
not wish to suspect him, but took
the letter. IL was written IN blue
ink on cheap letter paper that had
dove stamped on it at the top
concluded that the only way to test
whether he was the man was to get
specimen of his writing. hal TO see

paying for it he accommodated me.
Then drove around and got the
trees.
1T was a mile drive out to this
blacksmith's shop. | explained to
him that the clevis had been broken.
He said he could fix it. He asked
me where the pieces were. That was
something / had not counted on, but
told him | didn't know they could
be used, and had thrown them away.
Inside of half an hour he had new
clevis made. / tried 10 sell him a

When the job was finished | ex-
planned TO him that this was an unus-

for the work. There was little old
fashioned desk nailed against the wall.
He first took out the ink. and / noticed
it was blue. Then he pulled out q
sheet Of paper, with the dove on it.
Ny guess had been right. The writ
ing on the receipt was exactly the
same as that in the anonymous letter.

SOMETHING ABOUT JUNK.
A Great IChange in Prices-A Smart Bust
ness Women.

The schooner Mary Elizabeth, Capt. Dun
ton, has run regularly from Boothbay to
Portland and return for 81 years. She car
ries freight. She came INTO the harbor the
other day with four tons of rags. They
were in bags and about filled the hold The
price paid now is 75cts. hundred weight.
Twelve years ago as high as So was paid.
The chief reason for this great change is
the making of paper from wood pulp.
But prices l the junk business general
ly have dropped great deal in the last de-
cade. Manila rope junk that brought 300
a ton in the seventies now sells for $50
ton. Iron that once Brought 81. 10 hundred
weight, now brings only 35cts. But there
is big business in junk now nevertheless
and one of the most prominent persons en-
gagged in it in this city is a woman.
Any week day summer or winter, she
may be seen on Portland Pier, either within
or without, the rag-picker establishment of
James White, in active superintendent of
the business. She is a middle-aged red
checked, comedy woman, and she knows the
business SO thoroughly that she really has
entire charge of the force of 20 or 80 men
and girls who are employed by Mr.. White.
In fact she is the foreman of the place
and takes cherge of the business allowing
Mr.. White freedom to manage the financial
affairs. She makes a report to him every
day of the work done. She is an expert in
the rag business. Some Jews came there
the other day with big load of rags. They
had hardly drawn reins before she waved
them away. declaring that she didn't want
those rags They were old guano bags, and
at the present price of rags it doesn't pay
to clean those bags for the market.
This energetic business woman's name is
Mrs. Maxwell. 1t was formerly Margaret
Lally. She does the work of a capable man
and also withstands the exposure, for the
business demands that she be out-of-doors
good deal in all weathers. to look after
the buying and weighing of the rags, as
they are brought in by Jews etc.
It. stated that she receives SIP week
and her board.

Among the many class reunions to he
held at the Centennial anniversary of
Bowdoin College during the last week
i'll June that of the class of 1914 will

brate it's Vigintennial by dinner at the

of Portland, Me-, Rev. S. v. Cole. of
Taunton, Mass, and Mr.. F.W. Haw-
thorne, of Jacksonville, Fla. has inst
issued circular letter in which all the

A gentleman who has just returned
from Aroostook county informs the
Bangor Wing that the potato acreage
planted there this year is in excess of
any ever known. The farmers, anticipat-
ing the conveniences offered by the Ban
gor q Aroostook railroad in furnishing
an outlet and direct route from the
county to the market, have planted
from 10 to 90 per cent more potatoes
than ever before. It is reported that the
amount of fertilizer sent into the coun-
ty west of Houlton is in excess of the
amount sent there for a period of ten
years. Heretofore the cost of teaming
to the railroads has been so great as to
compel most of the farmers to sell to
the starch factories. Now they have such
access to the Bangor & Aroostook rail-
road that there is every indication that
the territory between Houlton and Sta
ceyvllle will become as prosperous an ag-
rIcultural station as any section of the
county.

DR.. Bentley began as Clerk OF the
School Board in 1882 and served as such
to May, 1888. The proceedings of the
school board from 1882 to February IL,
1856, are not to be found. They never
came into the hands of Mr.. Perkins, the
present clerk, and, therefore, nothing
can be shown except from the paid war
rant, and they show just what I have
shown above. My authority for what I
have said about the school clerkship in
the former article, was John A. Mclean,
who claimed to be acquainted with the
facts. I asked DR.. Bentley about the
absence of the clerks records, and he
said the matter wat so old he could not
remember.
AS to the County Physician matter, I
find that Bentley has drawn for indi-
vidual services from Rurleiph county.

There may be other variants, but, in
the short time I had before going to
press, [ was unable to find them. These
warrants we're all drawn, as I am in
formed by the county auditor, for med
ical services. I desire in no manner to
misrepresent the doctor as to the amount
of money he has drawn, and for that
reason append this statement to my
original article, that 1 may be exactly
fair. What the voters of Burleigh
county are most interested in in the doc
tors records not what amount of
money he has drawn from the county
but what has been his con-
duct as a member of the legisla-
ture. 10 the record already published
on that subject he has not made objec-
ton, and I hope every voter will verify
what I have said by an examination of
the House Journal. His conduct in
connection with the railroad pas
senger rates, the railroad right of way,
the miller's toll bill, the bill for the
improvement of public roads, the
bill providing repositories for
township school funds, and above
all, his assistance in repeating the
only effective part OF the usury law, are
the things that should control every
voter in casting his ballot for Richards
and Spangburg, the republican nomi-
nees. Shut from you minds everything
I have said about The doctor, except his
legislative record, if you desire, and see if
you cap say by his past record as a legis-
lator he is a proper person to represent
this important capitol district in the
next house of representatives.
