WE'LL CELEBRATE!
ELLSWORTH WILL BE GAY ON
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
APPOINTED AND NOW
HARD AT WORK MAKING ARRANGE
MENTS FOR THE DAY.

Ellsworth will celebrate the Glorious
Fourth in the usual good old way. Pre-
liminary meetings have been held and
committees have been appointed to pre-
pare programme for day full of enjoy
ment from sunrise to sunset. These COM
mittees are now hard at work, and with
the assistance which is sure to be given
by tradesmen and townsmen, the celebra-
ton is sure to be a success.
The preliminary meeting was held at
the municipal court room last Friday
evening The meeting organized by the
\. j. Grant rs secretary.
NJ. 5. Smith, as acting secretary of the
Hancock county fair association, said he
could state officially that if the citizens
subscribed literally toward celebration,
the association would offer $3.50 in horse
races, 500 for a hose race, and S25 for a
ball game between Sullivan ana Franklin.
George p Woodward said he believed
if good prizes were offered for the hose
races, the companies from Bar fIarbor
and Brewer, at least, and probably others
would come here instead of going to
Lewiston or Orono. He thought also
that franklin and Sullivan ball teams
would be glad to play here, and game
between those clubs would be a drawing
card
Charles Leland, secretary OF Dirigo
hose company said the company had
thought of participating in races else
where, but if fairly good purse were
offered at home they would remain here.
He thought also that other companies
going elsewhere.
There was no difference of opinion at
the meeting as to the advisability of hay
ing celebration. 1t means dollars and
cents to the tradesmen. 1t not only keeps
at home money that would otherwise go
out of town, but brings many dollars and
dimes in.
Among others Who spoke briefly in
favor of the celebration were George b.
stuart. Charles H. Drummey, Curtis X.
Foster, Irving Osgood and Walter r.
Parker.
The meeting then proceeded to the
selection OF committees.
w. Il. Parker, d. +. Hurley and c. H.
Drummey We're appointed a committee to
apply to the city government for an APP
preparation.
Curtis K. Foster, George p. Woodward,
Or. w. l.. West and L. +. Giles We're ap-
pointed committee to solicit subscrip-
tions.
Mayor George p. Dutton was elected
permanent chairman OF the Fouth of
July organization and \. J. Grant perma-
neut secretary.
c. L. Morang was elected chairman OF
the general committee of arrangements.
1t was voted to leave he selection Of
the general committee of nine to the
chairman of said committee and the
secretary of the general organization.
The committee thus appointed will choose
subcommittee.
NJ. 5. Smith suggested that the COM
mittec ON subscriptions should report as
soon as possible the probability of offer
ing a good prize for hose race and
notify he secretary of the hose company,
80 that outside companies could be
secured before they had planned to go
elsewhere.
The meeting adjourned to meet Tuesday
evening at o'cloek.

public necessity. and while determined

the publication and sale Of the Sunday
dailies.
The Chief does intend, though, 10 see
that the newsdealcrs confine their sun
day transactions strictly 10 the sale OF
newspapers. After comforting with one
or two persons engaged In this business,
he issued orders yesterday directing That
their stores shall only be kept open on
Sundays up to 10 a. NJ, and between the
hours Of Z and 6 Z. VI. Nothing but news
papers must be: handled during these
hours. NewsbOys will be allowed TO sell
papers on the street as heretofore, and

DUBLIN, VA, July l9.-(Special.) )
Three large ricks of wheat. the property
of Colonel w. j. Jordan, were totally
destroyed by fire last night. These ricks
contained about go bushels Of fine wheat.
The fire was evidently the work OF an
incendiary, as the crop was stacked IN
an open field. about 800 yards from any
building. About two weeks ago some
one entered Colonel Jordan's barn and
cut to JLeces three sets OF wagon-harness.
Colonel Jordan is one of our most promi-
nent citizens, and is widely known
throughout the state as breeder OF
Norman and coach horses. He has ire
quently exhibited his horses at the fairs
In Richmond. Lynchburg, stanton. and
elsewhere, and has received many
