FORGER BEAN HELD.
Ozias Has Carried Matters Too Far and Evil
dencc is Strong Against Him.

Ozias Bean, end who was taken from
Kcnnebec Jail few days ago to Bangor,
has been held there under $500 bonds to
await the grand jury in February, ex-
animation having been waived. Bean Is
charged with forgery in several places in
the State, and If he is the fellow who has
so successfully swindled several banks
and business houses his methods have
been rather clcvcrly planned in every case
When the clerk of J. A. Robinson e. Sons,
clothiers of Bangor, came here the other
day to see him in the Jail Bean imme-
diately manifested signs of weakening
when he first caught sight of the young
man. The clerk very quickly said that
Bean was the young man who passed
forged check upon him for over $50. He
was taken from here to Bangor with the
results named above.
He bought trunk of j. Il. Bracket

Under the head of abstracts from re-
ports of local boards of health the notes
show that 1898 was much healthier than
1892. There were but few cpidemics in
the State during the year.
The last part of the volume contains
quite long article on the sewage disposal
in Obcrlin, O. Another very interest
ing article is in reference to the sewage
disposal problem in American cities, and
several pages are devoted to it. Secretary
Young has gathered much valuable in
nation on health matters for this report.
One of the important and valuable arti-
cles is, 1.-THE Filtration of Water" by
c. J. Foote, NJ. D.. director of the bacte-
biological laboratory of the medical depart
ment of Yale university, in which much
important information is presented.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Biennial Report Of This Important Branch
Of State Work.

The biennial report of the State board
OF health Is about ready for distribution
ana contains an exhaustive review of this
department Of State work. The secretary
speaks Of the cases Of cholera, typhoid fever
and small pox that he has investigated,
and presents interesting notes on each.
Mention is made of the exhibit at the
Columbian Exposition.
During the two years 227 samples of
water were examined OF these, 1872 were
from wells; 60 from springs; % from
rivers and other streams; nine from ponds;
two from samples of ice; one from cistern:
and one the source of which was not stated.
Again, 90 of these samples were from
public water supplies, and nine from
proposed public water supplies The
chemical analysis is but one of the aids in
judging whether water is suitable or
unsuitable for. drinking and, indeed, in
some cases, it Is not the most trustworthy
guide in the solution of the question
Tables giving analysis of samples of
water are provided in detail. Notes are
furnished on some of the samples OK
amined in the labratory, stating where
the water was procured, and the remarks
that accompanied the samples.
A portion of the report is devoted to
the circulars and practical facts on cholera,
smallpox, diphthcria, scarlet fever,
and typhoid fever, giving information
on each and means of prevention and re-
striction. The public health legislation
Of 1891 and 1898 forms part of the book.
A list of the books, journals, and pamph
lets added to the library is given, number
ing "a books about 200 reports and so
journals, beside many pamphlets
The expense of the board for 1892 was
$4999.76 and for 1898, S49i4.53,
under the following heads:

ABOUT THE CAPITOL.
But Few Of the Legislators Remained
Over the Recess.
Town ubEaries-Work in Forestr-Shall
Guides Be Licensed?

For dullness in Legislative halls, per
baps the first recess of the Legislature
bears the palm. Saturday when Jour
nal man visited the Capitol, he found
not more than dozen of the lawmakers
at seats in their respective chambers.
When the committees have begun to grind
the grist when the bills and petitions
have covered the ground like leaves in
autumn, the legislator, whether at home
over Saturday or in the city, will have
something on his mind. All will be
more in touch with the legislation pro-
posed There will be few dull Saturdays.
However, when even few are gathered
together within the atmosphere of the
lobby, there is something to talk about.
There are good story tellers among the
Solons and there was plenty of meat in
the Governors message, which they
haven't done discussing yet.
The State library is the favorite place
for many who have matters upon which
they seek references. Librarian Carver
has every facility possible under the ex-
isting conditions for assisting all in search
of information upon legal and State ques-
tons In speaking of the law passed at
the last Legislature relating to town
libraries, Mr. Carver says he thinks the
law should be liberalized 1t now re-
quires the towns to expend all their money
for books in order to come within the pro-
visions for State aid. This leaves moth
ing for rent or rooms or librarian, and
tends, Mr.. Carver believes, to discourage
many from making application under the
law.
Photographer Hendec will before long
have group pictures of the members of
the House and also the Senate, some of
the pictures having already been taken.
The excellent work done in the forestry
department., the past two years, and which
was outlined in the recent report of Mr.
Oak, the forestry commissioner and land
agent, has attracted considerable attention
Mr.. Oaks idea is that the State should
take account of stock in respect to its
timber resources. "If the cutting exceeds
the growth, the people of the State ought
to know it," is the way Mr. Oak puts it.
with one third of the population of the
State dependent upon the lumber industry,
it seems the wise thing to take account OF
stock
1t is expected that there will be meet
ing of wild land owners before long, to
consider the question of needed legislation.
1t will be recalled that two years ago, to-
ward the latter part of the session, these
men met and a bill was formulated, pro-
viding among other things for the licens-
ing of guides. Owing to the latcness OF
the session the matter was not vigorously
pushed and was referred to this Legisla-
turc 1t is not probable that this bill,
somewhat amended, will again be advo-
Gated
A petition favoring the proposed coli
stitutional amendment, to forbid the use
of State money for sectarian institutions,
is being circulated in this city.

GEN. c. c. WATTS

Washington, d. c., December 19.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-FOr some time past the DemOc-
Tacy of West Virginia has been looking
over The field for a winner for Governor.
Numerous men have been discussed

who has been tried by the party and
found lin no way wanting; a man who
has peculiar strength with the great
labOring interests of the State and a
man who can. by combining all these
elements Of strength, add 10 them q
brilliant campaign.
Many West Nirginians are now in
Washington and know the feeling in
many parts of the State. and almost
all are of one accord that all the ele-
ments above set out for our next Gov
ernOr. are eminently held by that true,
tried and fearless leader, Gen. C.. C..
Watts, OF Charleston.
Gen. Watts is not q candidate and
has even said that he would not have
the nomination, but he is a true DEM
CCrat, and must answer his party 5

Bill Introduced In the Senate Authoriz-
ing the acceptance of the Vessel.
Washington, December 22.-The Pres
ident has decided, after considering the
matter for some time, that the govern
ment cannot accept the Amman ram
Katahid.n because of her failure to at
tain the seventeen knots speed required
by the contract. Senator Hale has ac-
cordingly introduced a bill in the SEN
a.e authorizing the acceptance of the
vessel. The naval authorities are unan-
imously of the opinion that she IS an
efficient warship, and is prevented from
attaining the prescribed speed only by
a popularity Of her model for which
the builders, the Bath Iron Works. are
not properly responsible.
