Bangor, February 28.-Outside OF the
Cowan murder case the topic which is
being most talk ed of around town is the
trouble which LIS. Chilcott, an ex-maj-
or of the Maine militia, is having with
Lieutenant W. E. Barrows, of the Ham
lin Rifles, and son of George W. E. Bar
rows, of the firm of Blake, Barrows &
Brown, bankers.
Mr.. Chilcott has been instructing the
Bangor High School Cadets, and they
have been drilling in the armory of the
Bamlin Rifles, which has just been fit
ted up at considerable expense.
Tha other day, Mr.. Chilcott took his
cadets to the armory for drill. In the
rear of the hall is a carpeted stage, about
four feet wide. He thought he did not
have room enough, SO he tore up the
stage and did considerable damage to
the carpet. This made the members of
the Rifles a trifle mad, and they called
the police to have Mr.. Chilcott elected
from the room. The matter was ex-
planned thorugh the newspapers in some
very spicy letters from both Mr.. Chill
cott and Lieutenant Barrows.
The latter gave the eX-major terrible
calling down. and the lieutenant's
father took sides with Mr.. ChiIoott.
Barrows is employed as clerk at Rice
& Millers, and his father and Mr.. Chill
His father told him that unless he
apoloaized he could never come home.
The boy said he never would, and has
gone to live with one OF the other clerks
employed in the store This part of the
case has caused somewhat of a sensation.

State House, Augusta, February 2S.-
The Deering- Portland annexation ues-
tion is what troubled the towns COM
mittee this afternoon. The Senate
terested parties when the hearing was
called, among whom were Judge Isaac L.
Elder, DR.. G. W. Foster, John E. Sawyer,
Il. B. Winslow, Elbridge Matthews, Jos.
H. Hutchins, Robert b. Low and others,
all OF Deering; County Treasurer D. j..
Chenery and Charles Dunn, Jr., of Port
land, were also present, but the Forest
City men didn't seem to be very deeply
interested in the matter, for the Deering-
ties outnum bered them 10 to l.
/. /. Hon. Charles F. Libby appeared for
the Annexationists, while Attorney
Fred V. Matthews held the case for the
remonstrants. The argument WAS on the
report OF the committee on the act, now
pending, to allow the people of both cit
les to vote on the question of annexa-
tiou.
Mr.. Libby opened for the petitioners
discoursing upon the advantages of large
city government over small communi-
ties. He said that increased accommo-
dation in every, municipal departments,
streets, sewers, lights, carrying facili-
ties, etc., were inevitable from consoli-
dation OF communities. The PROPOSE
tion to annex was, of course, not with
out opposition. Tie petitioners only ask
to have the matter left to the people, q
proposal that seems fair enough, seeing
that the people may say "no" if they
want to.
Mr.Libby told how the suburban land,
which a few years ago was wholly un
occupied, is now covered with houses
and stores. put there by the overflow of
the city of Portland. The law of growth
brings such a conuitlon about, and
further leads to final complete unity of
interests of all the people living in that
great community. To govern that COM
munity under one central system is now
asked for in the interest of economy and
public good generally. Mr.. Libby
showed how the interests of the two cit
les are identical, and how, in few
years, money must be expended by the
one which will benefit the other equal
ly. He referred to the disposal of sew
age in Back Cove which, be said, would
require the builing of greaG public
work, costing a great many thousands
of dollars. That was cited simply to
show how nearly allied were the inter-
ests of the two towns.
Speaking of the wealth and resources
of Portland, Mr.. Libby, in closing, sad
that within the past year, notwith-
standing the prevailing business de-
preston, Portland and her suburbs had
expended over.$1 900. 900 In the erection OF
new buildings.
. Mr. Libby being called away to attend
the street commission hearing, left the
| of Portland.

Hollis Centre, February 2s.-Last night
knights hotel at this place caught fire and
the building was burned to the ground.

escapes from perishing in the flames. The
cause of the fire is not known as it started
some hours after the people had retired for
the night. Very few of the guests succeeded
in saving any of their property and their
loss cannot be estimated. The loss to the
owners of the hotel will be about $4,000 with
very little insurance.

Kalispell, Mont, Nov. 4.-Roy Good

to go into effect at II p. m. Only IL en-

ing, at which it was decided to strike.
Those loudest in their demands for a
strike are not at work on the line, and
many Of them are not railroad men.
At the appointed hour no one stopped
at all. The crews came when called
and trainmen, engineers, trackmen'
dfspatchers and operators declared
their intention to stay with the COM
pany and respond to all calls for duty.
Employees of all classes loudly denounce
the action. Three fremen, one engin-
eer, one section foreman and about so
hOodIums who have been discharged
compose the sum total Of the strikers.
At II o'clock a mob Of about 90 went
to the roundhouse and ran a snoWplOW

ONE OF MS MOST RECENT POEMS


"Thc Drcamship." publ shed in the Octo.
her aides Home Journal.
One Of Mr.. Fields latest poems was
the leading feature of the October num-
Der Of the Ladies' Home Journal. 1t
was called "The Dreamshlp," and fol-
lowed a large and beautiful engraving
illustrative of the theme Of the poet.
The poem was as follows:
When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
As though ii were a wandering cloud
The ghostly dreamship flies.
An angel stands al the dreamship's helm,
An angel stands at the Prov,
And an angel stands at the dreamship' 5
side,
With a rue-wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath OF rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fal on rich and poor,
They fall on rich and old;
And some are dreams OF poverty,
And some are dreams OF gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with joy,
And some that melt to tears.
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some Of the old dead years.
on rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old.
Bringing to slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds OF mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be a beggarman,
The pauper be a king
In that revenge or recompense
The dreamship dreams do bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve the mystery.
But ever onward in it's course
Along the haunted skies
AS though it were a cloud astray-
The ghostly dreamship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmSmen are,
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

IIaIana. Nov. 4.-Rumors of Great
Northern strike spread rapidly through
tho civ Yesterday. 1t was reported
carly in the afternoon that the threat
made bv the members of the A. r. u.
on the main line to strike had been
made good and that the road was tied
nm from Havre to st. Paul. Nothing
definite could be learned even by the
railroad men of this city. The Western
Union telegraph wires were down both
east and west of Great Falls. The
trouble with the wires was located at
Pacific Junction, but it was thought the
storm was responsible for the break.
The strike was supposed to have ex-
tended west of Havre.
Later in the afternoon Governor
Richards received the following tele-
gram from County Attorney Sidney
Logan of KalispeI:
"An attempt was made to burn the
Great Northern bridge short distance
from here. The purpose was to destroy
heavily loaded passenger train. Can
you authorize me to offer reward Of
$500 or more? The train ran onto the
bridge before the fire was discovered"
The governor telegraphed back this
answer: You are authorized to offer
the state reward Of $500 for the convic-
ton OF the guilt parties If the bridge
was fred with criminal intent"
The Montana Central men in Helena
were surprised to hear Of the strike.
They knew trousle was brewing be-
tween the main line operatives and
President Hill hut supposed it would
amicaD1y settled. They do not sx-
t to join it.
