THE CENTRAL PACIFIC BOYCOTT
President Huntington Says There Will Be
None

None
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE action which
it is alleged is proposed by the Southern
Pacific in lessening its through service
from Ogden to San Francisco, with a
view OF forcing as much traffic as posi-
bio over the Sunset route will, if persisted
in, result In the liveliest kind of fight
for the California business. The Rock
Island and the Burlington, both of whom
will be smut out by the action of the
Southern Pacific, say they have no inten-
ton of going out of the through business
to California, no matter what the South
ern Pacific may do. If they are shut out
of their connections with Ogden they will
in all probability not only reduce rates,
but make an allowance with the Atchi-
son and deliver business to it at Kansas
City. The Atchison would be distinct
gamer by any route chat would cause the
Rock Island and Burlington to deliver
passengers to it, and it would be more
than glad to see some such arrangement
go into effect. The railroad officials
quote Vice. President Stubs as their
authority for the assertion that the
Southern Pacific is contem plating the re-
duction in train service. and the strong
denial of President Huntington tele-
graphed from New York leaves them in
fog as to what the intentions OF the
Southern Pacific really are.

and many of the leading citizens were
present and expressed their views. There
has been some disappointment because
no bids offering a premium have been re-
ceived, but considering the condition of
the money market and the fact that
bonds only bear per cent, it is not sur

SURRY, Nov. IL, 1898.
To the Editor of The american:
When persons of noted habits, or char
acter, have passed from life it is a pleasure
to recall certain acts or sayings which
made their lives interesting. Thus, in
the life of Mr.. Emery, little things which
passed unnoticed at the time, and which
were only prelude to his future goodness
and greatness, will be searched after and
called up from memory's repository. and
be laid before the public, fresh and new.
When the trouble arose beween Maine
and the Provinces which gave rise to the
"Aroostook war;" no one was more ready
to respond to the call for troops than
Mr.. Emery.
In his company was man by the name
of Samuel Scammons, who is still living
in Franklin, and is eightyfour years Of
age; but he still remembers the instance
that | will relate, and loves to tell it and
laugh over it.
Near the soldiers barracks was crazy
old building set upon long posts at the
rivers edge. plan had been maturing
for long time to tumble this old build
ing into the river; but the officers were
vigiant, and for some time no attempt
was made. AT last Scammons and Emery
perfected the arrangement, and the old
building found a watery grave.
They caused it to he noised abroad that
Scammons was n great dancer, and that
he would dance at a certain time for the
diversion Of the officers. In due time he
was on hand, and Mr.. Emery also with
his old fiddle well strung and tuned. 1t
is needless to say that every officer in the
regiment was on hand also.
'Dandy JIM was the tune in vogue
them. Scarcely had the first note ceased
to ring when Scammons' feet struck the
middle of the floor, and like David, he
danced with all his might. The fiddle
kept pace, and Mr.. Emery's elbow never
did better work. The officers cheered,
and a number jumped into the floor to
help Scammons execute a double shuttle.
The sweat poured down his face, but still
he danced. Suddenly the show came to
stop; mighty crash was heard; all
rashed to the windows and that rickety
old building was in the river.
Nobody could he seen; but during
Scammons' hee-and-toe exercise sharp
saws had done the work, and no inquiry
as to who did it. L. a. {.

The Dog License.

The sum of $25,976.7O has been paid into
the State treasury to date, on account Of
dog licenses collected during the present
year. In 1898, the amount received to
Nov. !, was $37 ,S5S.35, and in 1894, the
sum OF $27, 1896 had been paid in up to the
same date. These figures show marked
decrease from year to year, since 1893.
They are significant.
at does not SEEM" says the kennebec
Journal, "that the number of dogs can
possibly be on the decrease, and as no re-
duet ion in the license fees has been
made it would seem as if the collecting
must be slack"
There ought not to be much difficulty
in finding tirst-class explanation of the
situation. The people who will pay dog
tax are mulcted and those who are back
ward about it are not compelled TO come
to the mark. 1t is pure robbery on the
part of the officials to handle the law in
that way. In Ellsworth some who do
not pay the license are those best able to
do so.
