For the benefit of anyone who inquiries
why Hon. 1. c. Libby bears the title of
Cattle King" it is related that during
the 35 years he was in the business he
shipped and sold to the Brighton market
$50, 900 head of cattle and ZOO, 600 sheep
At one time he sold carload of dressed
beef for 90 cents pound and at another,
during the ''grasshopper period" for
cents.
We are impatiently waiting for the So
luton of the problem, why was it neces-
sary for the public to contribute 1896 to
the entertainment given at Bangor in be-
half of the general hospital there in order
for the hospital to get $500? Was 1865 a
fair valuation of the entertainment The
vast amount of time, money and exertion
of about rs ladies connected with the
scheme, aren't included in the problem.

Thursday, the 29th Day Of November Instant

as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to be
kept and observed by all the people of the
land.
On that day let our ordinary work and bus
mess be suspended and let us meet in our &C
customed places of worship and give thanks to
Almighty God for our preservation as nation
for the harvests that have rewarded our hus-
bandry. for renewal of national prosperity,
and for every advance in virtue and intelli-
gence that has marked our growth as a people
And with our Thanksgiving let us pray that
these blessings may be multiplied unto us,
that our national conscience may be quicker =
cd to n better recognition of the power and
goodness of God, and that in our national
life we may clearer see and closer follow the
path of righteousness.
And in our places of worship and praise as
well as in the happy reunions of kindred and
friends on that day let us invoke Divine APP
prevail by generously remembering the poor
and needy. Surely He who has given us COM
fort and plenty will look upon our relief OF
the destitute and our ministrations of charity
rs the work of the hearts truly grateful and as
proof of the sincerity of our Thanksgiving.

States, which have caused to be affixed.

until some one else would come IN.
A gentleman with whom he was
slightly acquainted to whom be did not
give credit for great deal of religious
fervor came in and he followed him up
the isle to the front Of the church. He
did not realize where he was until he was
presented with singing book and asked
to assist in the singing. He had followed
his Roekport friend into the choir.

Biddeford has a constable endowed with
a peculiar sense of his duty. 1t is said OF
him that having a slight grudge against
a druggist in town he searched the latter's
place and seized bottle of wine. This
he brought to the police station saying
that somehow he couldn't keep liquor in
his own house. it disappeared as fast as
he could seize it. He remarked that he
might have seized more liquor in the drug
store but he thought it would be little
rough on the proprietor. Comment seems
unnecessary.

The newest development in the Doodle
sensation is that Judge Wall has been re-
tanned on behalf of the state to assist in
| the prosecution. IL is also said that
County Attorney Boone will tender Judge
| Wall the front place. The county attor-
ney will be compelled to give most Of his
| time to developing the evidence and ar
ranging it for trial; hence he cannot give
| the law and authorities the attention
| necessary in case of such importance
He is busy at this work now, and while he
| is extremely reticent, the indications are
that he is strongly fortifying the position
of the state.
The other side is not idle by any means
The most serious evidence they think they
will have to meet is that OF Professor Bar
Der, and it will help materially il they
can succeed in any way in breaking down
the force Of that evidence. As result the
professors past and present careers under
going critical exa mination and thor
ough overhauling. It is even threatened
that if the professor admits the Statement
made in the EAGLE on the stand, that he
will be arrested for bribing public officers.
Yesterday Professor Barber was the
subject OF no small share OF street abuse.
The friends Of the defense stated that as
an educator he is no good and never was;
but in reply to this the friends of the
prosecution say that in that event his en-
ployment looks still more suspicious.
When a reporter met County Attorney
Boone yesterday he was perusing the
columns of the EAGLE, in which several
denials were made by teachers. At first
one would suppose that he was reading
the Bill Nye column. he seemed to De so
tickled. He would not say why he was
smiling, and the only conclusion one
II - re
WAS different from that of anybody else;
for nobody else but him seemed TO see any
fun in the columns referred to. He was
particularly tickled over one Of the denials,
which he read over two or three times.
In answer to a query he stated that he
had nothing new that be wanted to give
out. He seemed as confident as ever that
that some surprises are in store for the
public.
There is a report in circulation that Mr.
Amidon, attorney for the defense, is In the
list of witnesses for the state, but nothing
Indicates she character of the testimony
expected from him.
1t is now expected that the trial will not
come off before next Saturday. This
seems to be the desire of some OF the mem
bers of the school board. for if it came off
any day in which school is in session
decentralization would follow as it is ex-
pectei that nearly all, if not quite all, the
teachers in the city will be subpoenaed as
witnesses. There is nothing certain, how
ever. about the postponement as Justice
Jones may conclude to hear the case on
Monday.
1t is also probable that the case will 10
tried before jury. In that event it is liable
to last several days as it will be no easy
matter to get II men who have not formed
an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of
the defendants.
The trial will be regular trial and not
preliminary as is generally supposed.
The defendants are charged only with q
justice OF the peace has full jurisdiction.

As 70 OUR RAIN-MAKER.

That southeast wind which bore up from
the gulf over this country all day Wednes-
day and Thursday was laden with hu-
Nudity and only had to come in contact
with a condensing wave of cold to be fol-
lowed by precipitation. You can't sqeeze
water from a dry sponge aud rain-makers
are a humbug In the absence of the
requisite conditions it would be as impos-
slble to produce a rainfall as it would be
to produce snowfall in August. Snow
is but crystalized vapor. Anybo could
have played '.rain-maker" IN the face of
those vapor-laden winds which filled all
the incumbent or atmospheric area of the
transmissouri region with a moisture
which only lacked the touch of chill to
condense aud precipitate it. And it did
rain, gloriously.
