Thought to be Cullen.

1t is now thought the body which was
found along the Northern Pacific track
at the bridge last week was that of Pat
Cullen, who has worked the past sum-
mer for Oscar Ward. The face was
pretty badly distigured, and a positive
Identification was difficult for that rea-
son, but the clothes Of the man were
pretty positively identified, and it is be-
lieved the body was that of Cullen. The
man came here from Glendive about
three months ago, and has been working
for different persons up the river since.
He is from Waterbury, Conn.,, originally,
and the authorities will notify his rela-
tives there. He quit work at Wards on
the day before the body was found, and
has not been seen since, and he is be-
lieved to be the man who met with so
horrible d death beneath the wheels.

NOTES.
The receipts Of the fair will leave a
little surplus over the expenses, a very
gratifying and unusual experience.
Governor Allin, Secretary Cochran and
Auditor Briggs were given a genuine
frontiersmar banquet by Mr.. and Mrs.
Don Stevenson at their camp in the
timber on the grounds. Those who have
received the hospitality of these good
people in years gone by know what that
a The cooking was by campfire
and such broiled chicken, steak and even
mutton pie, the executive never saw be-
fore. Miss Stevenson, a charming girl,
assisted in the reception which is one the
governor 10 not likely SOD to forget:
One of the pleasing events of the day
was the attempt of "Farmer" Braith-
waite to get into the farmers green trot-
ting race. Objection was raised and in
reply to his inquiry Gam I ruled out?"
he was reminded by DR.. Hercourt that a
man who had worked five years to enter
a 4-year-old mare in a farmers race
would not be allowed.
The two days following the fair will be
devoted to stock sale and exchange.

International Races.

The first of the five races for the
American cup, came of in New York
Harbor and outside of it Saturday, re.
sulting in victory for the American
boat Defender, by $ min. and A. seconds
for the fifteen miles, which was close
enough to be interesting.
Tuesday the second race came off not
quite as satisfactory to the friends of
the Yankee boat. When starting. the
Nalkyrie touled the Defender, disabling
the latter's topmast, and preventing her
using full sail. The Defender sailed the
race under protest. and Notwithstanding
the casualty, came in but A. seconds
behind the Nalkyrie. The Defender was
badly handicapped by the accident which
was plainly the fault of the other boat.
The Defender was TO leeward of the
Valkyrie, nearest to the Judges boat
rhe latter had plenty of room to pass,
without foulng either the Judges boat
or the Defender. Had she held her
course there would have been no trouble
but she bore away and eased her sheets
to prevent going over the line before
gun fire. That brought her within 10
leet ol lne DeleudeT' raging OUT the
sheet allowed the big steel boom TO
swing over the deck and strike the star
board shrouds of the topmast, and the
damage was done.
On the Windward work down to the
first mark the Nalkyrie continued to
gain. The damage caused by the aeci-
dent prevented the Defender from carry.
ing her jibtopsail, while the Valkyrie hung
on to hers. The topmast had decided
sheer to port, and it was watched by
many thousands during the race
The New York Yacht Club committee
on Wednesday gave the race of Tuesday
to the Defender.
Mr. Iselin offers TO re-sai Tuesdays

Mrs. Margaret Fairgrieves.

On Tuesday, September 3fd, at her
home in Hartland, surrounded by rela-
tives and friends to whom she had en-
deared herself in numberless ways, Mrs.
Margaret Fairgrieves passed peacefully
away at the advanced age of 20 years.
Funeral services were held from her late
home the Friday following, and the large
attendance of friends as we'll as the many
beautiful floral tributes contributed were
silent testimonial to the esteem in
which she was held by both old and
young.
Deceased was native of Scotland,
born in Gallashiels in the year 1875, in
which town her grlhood was passed,
coming to America in 1850 and locating
first in Lawrence, Mass, afterwards re-
siding for while in Dexter, Hartland
and Bridgton, returning to Hartland in
1861 for permanent residence. Early
uniting with the Methodist church, she
most consistently followed and lived up
to the teachings of her belief, and was
always prominent worker in the
church's behalf. Although in poor
health for year past, her death came
quite unexpectedly as a result of heart
failure. Two children survive her, Geo.
B. Fair reyes of this place and Mrs. F.
j. Goodspeed of Wilton.

In DIR. G. NJ. Twitchell, the managers
of the Maine State Fair have a secretary
who knows his business thoroughly, and
to his undefatigable efforts, is a large
measure of success due for the excellence
of the big show, and for the large at
tendance. He understands to a nicely
just how to work the newspapers of the
State, and to get large amount of
advertising out OF. them for moderate
amount of money. Newspapers of Maine
are inclined to help along the big fairs
of the State, as well as the County fairs,
and they each devote columns of space
to them, for which they receive thank

the satisfaction of helping along the cause

Early in September 1896, the Society
of Christian Endeavor for Maine will
hold its annual convention in Skowhe-
gan, agreeably to an invitation extend
ed by the different c. +. societies con-
nected with churches here and the
Epworth League connected. with the
Methodist church. The convention was
held at Houlton this year and the people
of that booming town, noted for its
hospitality, set pace in the entertain
meDt of this convention that cannot be
beaten and which it will be hard to
equal. 1t will be useless for Skowhegan
to attempt to do more than Houlton
did and hardly practicable to try to do
as much in some directions. We can
assure all interested, however, that
Skowhegan has well earned reputation
for hospitality and she will not allow
that reputation to suffer in the near
future at least. II any assembly Of like
character was ever held in our town and
its members were not pleased with their
reception we have not been informed of
the fact, and the year 1896 is too late in
the nineteenth century to begin to take
a new departure in this direction. Show
hegan will not do it and our friends Of
the Society of Christian Endeavor will
be given warm welcome, and the sub.
stantials IL not the luxuries while with
us.

More than 54,0OO,OO0 pounds is the d.
crease of wool produced in the United
States in two years, nearly 20 per cent.
In Maine the decrease is 735, los pounds,
more than 30 per cent in the two years.
The difference in the value of this
product is more marked eveh than the
difference in pounds. Free wool is an
expensive luxury for Maine people.

Instead of "Dolar Wheat" which the
Democratic party promised the western
farmer in 1892, that party has TO dis
count its promises more than 80 per cent.
Wheat in North Dakota is quoted at 45
cents per bushel, but the crop is big
one and the low price may stimulate e6-
portation and cause a good advance.
We hope so.
