Charles Delano, a Bucksport farmer. had
a narrow escape from death when he tried
to put q halter on a Jersey bull Sunday.
The bull was one of the finest in Eastern
Maine Delano climbed over into the pas
ture and went up to the animal. The bull
looked at Delano rather sharply, so that the
man stopped when he got up to the sleek
fellow, and hesitated before he grabbed
him to halter him with his bullstick That
moment of hesitation was serious ON Q.
The bull made queer little jump with his
fore feet and put his head between them !;
then he snorted angrily and made a leap for
the man. Delano saw the bull coming. he
made leap, too, and started for the fence,
but the bull was too close behind him. Della
no looked ahead and made up his mind as
to a good place to fall down in. When he
got to it he suddenly sweryed aside and fell
in heap ON the ground, tunbling out into
an inert mass and playing possum for all
he was worth He knew that it was his only
chance to get out Of the scrape alive.
The bull bounced upon the>prostrate form
of the man and began goring him in the
sides; within a few minutes, following the
practice of attacking animals when in the
presence of an apparently dead foe, he
ceased his tactics, but not before Delano
had been punched ABOUT the 81 DIES and
trampIed on on the legs and arms. Then
the bull quit the fight and retired little
distance Delano's craft had : aved his life
When the bull had gotten far enough away
and was quietly chewing grass with an an
gelic expression of innocence on his wicked
face, Delano got up as quickly as his
wounds would allow and made for the pas
ture fence with some haste. A rife bullet
ended the career OF the bnll.

MIR. r. Il. Snow believes he saw the
thief who entered his store Monday after
noon and took the money from his money
drawer in the office, but unfortunately he
didn't take sufficient notice of the person
to be able to recognize him should he
see him again. The circumstances that
lead MIR. Snow to this belief are these !:
just before noon Of the day that the theft
in his office, his person being concealed
from view from one entering the sales
room by bath tub placed on its end.
A boy entered cautiously and approached
the office door. When he cav Mr.. Snow
be appeared greatly surprised and in a
stammering manner asked him when
he won't to his dinner. The conduct of
the boy struck MIR. Snow as being pecu-
liar, but he now sees an explanation for
it.

Stoddard Lectures on the Yellowstone.
One OF the most successfully planned
and deliberately executed projects of
travel In the experience of John L. Stod-
dard Is just completed by his return
from an exploration Of the famous Vel
lowstone National Park. 1t has been
under consideration for months, and ev-
cry detail had been carefully considered
by the railroad and park managers. The
official photographer. who has national
reputation for skill at his profession, ao-
companied Mr.. Stoddard through every
step OF his expedition and made him es-
peoial photographs in great mum Der and
variety. Mr.. Stoddard was also the re-
oipient ofBmu oh attention from the tour
lists who.lwere visiting the park during
his stay there, by whom he was immedi-
ately recognized, and who evidently ap-
preoiased the Importance of the lecture
which is to be the outcome of his visit.
Mr.. Stoddard had had this trip IN con-
temptation for long time but having
seen the unique natural features and in
expressibly grand scenery of the region.
he declared himself overwhelmed with
the sublimity of his experiences, which
parallel in novelty and splendor any in
his world wide career as traveller. He
has now settled down to the writing of
the lecture, for which he : as provided
himself with such abunda and rare
materials.

The Rangeley region is the height OF
land whence the waters flow away to
three great rivers. Nine or ten miles
from Rangeley Village there is spot of
which the woodsmen tell, where two
little ponds lie SO near that one may
throw q stone from one into the other.
The waters of the one pond run through
the Rangeley Lakes, to the Androsooggin
| river, while the other runs into Kenne-
bec waters. The Kennebeo sends two
feeders into the Rangeley region, the
| Sandy and Dead Rivers. North of the
Rangeleys lies the Megantic region,
whose waters are tributary to the St.
Lawrence, and these St. Lawrence
waters dispute the tribute of the snow
and rain. with the Androscoggin feeders.
Like almostsevery country where great
rivers begin, thele are mountains every
where. The horizon is one wavy noun
tain line in whatever direction one may
| look. Most of these mountains are for
est clad, the constant operations Of the
lumberman not denuding them of the
evergreen. There Is. however, more Of
/ civilization about the Rangeleys than
would be expected from the almost con-
slant forests that meet the eye. Hay
farms are cleared up along the shores Of
some of the lakes, and very good roads
lead around. The ''oarrys'', where OF
old hunters and fishermen used to walk
and carry their canoes, are now dusty
| roads, driven over by barges and buck
| boards.

Hot Shot
Poured Into The Gold Ranks
By A Veteran.

AS an old Union soldier and a
lifelong Republican, / wish to
say a word through your columns.
The gold standard papers are
such Internal liars, and are so
unfair in giving out the news,
discriminating against the silver
news, that the people are drop
ping those papers and flocking to
your standard by the thousands.
In 1860 the tactics of lying and
abuse was resorted to by the mon
ely power-the slave holders to de-
feat MIR. Lincoln. 1t failed, as the
as the same power will fail this
year, in its efforts to defeat the
Nebraska Lincoln.
In 1860 the pulpit took sides
against Mr.. Lincoln, all of it's
power in the South and three
fourths in the North. This year
that same power, we learn in the
gold press, is to be subsidized in
the ioterests of Mckinley, Eng,
land and gold.
Hence, as one of the toilers, my
self and many of my acquainten-
ces, are not only refusing to take
the gold papers out of the post
office, but are withdrawing our
support from the churches of
which we have been members for
20 to 40 years. Whenever the
church leaders hire ont to the
gold gang TO help enslave the peo-
pie, it is time for patriots to act.
They tell US the silver craze is on
the wane. They told us that in
March, in April, in May, in June
and in July. They knew they lied
then, and they know they lie
now.

It Is q Landslide.

There never has been such an
uprising of the people for right
in this country, outside of the
campaigns of 1776 and 1860, as
in 1896. In a score of states the
Republican rank and file, head
ed by their most enlightened
leaders, have raised their voices
in righteous protest against the
Toryism of the ST. Louis plat.
form. Even market experts, like
Lindblom, the big Chicago wheat
dealer, figure an electoral MAORI
ty for Bryan. President St. John,
the Wall street banker, who was
compelled to resign his position
because of his free coinage con-
victions, predicts that even New
York will be carried by the farm
ers, workingmen and middle
classes for the free coinage cause.
Every reform movement in
America realizes that victory in
this campaign on the issue now
before the public is the Lexington
of freedom on all issues. In our
own state, the popular enthusi-
asm and intense earnestness in
this cause and eamgaign are
spreading like forest fire through
the counties. Every party, every
class, every profession and occu-
patton contribute rheir recruits
by the thousand. On the table of
John Lind yesterday, q visitor
found a stack of resolutions and
letters from organizations and
leading representatives of the
people in all parties, pledging
support and predicting victory,
if he accepts the gubernatorial
nomination, as he must and will.
Coming down to our own city,
we find a popular revolution
that is sweeping patriotic people,
from the bench and the pulpit,
from the counter, the mill yard,
from the shops and the offices,
into the column of patriotism
and political reform, for America
and honest finance against sell
fish domination and European
interest.
1t is a landslide OF patriotism.
The spirit of 1776 is with US;
and the beauty of the whole
movement is, that all elements
and factions seem bent in har-
mony and union for the single
triumph of principle.
