4 TRIP TO WEST BETHEL

The register of deeds, clerk OF courts
aud register OF probate went 10 West
Bethel few days ago, and were highly
entertained by A. ;. Bean, Esq, the
lumber king of oxford County, and his
family.
On the arrival of the train these county
officials found an excellent dinner pre-
pared for them, 70 which they did ample
Justice. This over, they seated them
selves in covered carriage drawn by
two horses, the host himself holding the
ribbons" They were taken 10 the
farm OF Mr.. Bean on the road toward
Mason, and driven across 1t and up the
side of hill 10 trout pond. Ii was
three-quarters Of mile across one field
where about 200 tons Of hay had been
cut this wear. The whole length OF the
road is about mile and half and Is as
good as any town road. All the water
courses are bridged. IL was n fine drive
and all enjoyed IL hugely. Mr.. Bean Is
clearing up several acres for cultivation
aud for pasturage.
This farm was formerly two, and the
land is in Bethel and Fryeburg Academy
Grant. The trout pond is In the latter.
Near this beautiful sheet OF water, sur
rounded by lofty hills covered with wood
and timber, the greater part OF which is
owned by Mr.. Bean, he proposes next
year to erect summer cottage. The
best farming land Is on the stream which
flows into the Androscoggin River.
There is no more productive land In
Maine. After they had looked over the
farm Mr.. Bean took the party 10 his mill
in Mason, passing the former home OF
the register of deeds. Park was on the
lookout for game and discovered fox
across \ stream watching some hens on
the other side. The sight was tantaliz-
ing as he had no weapon that was effect
i've at that distance.
Returning from Mason the party was
shown over the premises at West Bethel,
and very large tract OF timber was
shown them across the river, which Mr..
Bean had recently purchased. He had
long contemplated securing IL. At last
the opportunity presented itself, but II
was limited that IL took long drive In
the night and skillful maneuvering to
close up the affair. Anyhow Mr.. Bean
is so we'll pleased with his purchase that
he would not sell it for twice what he
paid. Mr.. b. runs store and hotel
besides spool factory at West Bethel
lie could not do this, however, but fol
the assistance of his wife and her sister
who are equally as good managers a:
Mr.. Bean himself. Everything about
his premises is in apple pie order and
runs like clockwork. He has a large
number of hogs and pigs, some Of which
would tip the beam when dressed, at 50l
pounds. He slaughters and disposes OF
one a week. Mr.. Bean started in life a
poor boy with nothing but sound con
stitution and larger share OF horse
sense than most of men possess. He ha:
succeeded beyond anything his earlier
notions had conceived. He is now the
largest tax payer in Bethel, Mason
Albany, and Fryeburg Academy Grant
Mr.. Bean is public spirited citizen ano
is building church which he will give
above the foundation to the Unior
Church Society OF this village. Any
community is fortunate to have such
| man in il.

disaster from the country and ruin for
their party; that the Chicago platform at
tacks sound financial policy and that del
egates to that convention abandoned for
Republican allies the Democratic cause
of tariff reform to court the favor of pro-
tectionists; that delegates to the Indian.
apolis convention cannot support candi-
dates of the Chicago convention nor be
bound by its acts, liberal policy toward
American shipping is demanded; and an
economical administration of government;
international arbitration, and liberal
pension policy are favored; all efforts to
touch the Supreme Court are condemned,
an ! the gold standard is approved. The
platform expresses opposition to free and
unlimited coinage of silver and compul-
sorry purchase of bullion; denounces the
present system of paper currency as a
constant source of injury, and demands
currency reform, and commends the fidel-
ity, patriotism and courage of Clevelands
administration.
The platform was adopted unanimous
ly. A motion to take a recess was cried
down. Breckenridge of Kentucky moved
to nominate a candidate on the platfor.-l.
The motion carried, and a roll call was

necessary outfit which thoughtful friends
in New York provided to enable Apili to
90 hunting with when he arrives in Labra-
dor. Their passage was prepaid, and
their safe conduct arranged for not only
during the voyage'to ST. Johns, but dur
ing their stay there, as we'll as on the sec
ond part of their journey, from there to
their home.
A dollar was all it was deemed safe to
entrust them with in cash, and the
chances are perhaps even that they will
carry that with them to their destination,
or part with 1t to the first nimble-witted
talker with whom they meet. For the
Eskimo who have come here do not seem
to acquire cunning in their dealings with
the whites, even after being swindled
many times. The little girl pictured with
Apili and Helene is their grandchild, and
she goes back with them as a reminder
of the Worlds Fair, where she was born,
and of Mrs. Potter Palmer, after whom
she was named Nancy Helene Columbia
Palmer. She appears to be half-breed
and her father is supposed to be In the
Labrador settlement, where Apili lives.

EXTERIOR OF THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION HALL

egate Brennan of Wisconsin, chairman of
the Committee on Credentials, reported
S24 delegates present, representing forty
one States and three Territories, which
was greeted with ringing cheers. Pend
ing permanent organization, DIR. Everett
of Massachusetts, son of Edward Everett,
made a brief speech.
Delegate Roberts of Missouri then re-
ported that the Committee on Permanent
Organization had decided on Senator CAT
frey of Louisiana for chairman. 1t also
recommended that the national committee
be empowered to call future conventions.
The adoption of this latter portion of the
report, looking to permanent party, was
accompanied by deafening applause.
Caffrey Made Chairman.
In assuming the chair Senator Caffrey
made speech outlining the policy and
purpose of the National Democrats"
Among other things he said:
when our people recover from the de-
bauch of populism and anarchy they will
discard the men who have led their orgy.
If we 20 to Mckinley those men will be
the recognized exponents of democracy.
When the fumes of the debauch are dis
sipated and sober reason resumes her
sway, our flock will turn toward its fold
only to find it destroyed. We therefore
stand fast We sound bugle call
throughout the land for all Democrats to
rally forth to support of Government and
law, for the honor of their country and for
the maintenance and preservation of their
creed, its memories and its glories."
John =. Irish of California, who has
quite reputation as an orator, fully justi-
fed it with a brief speech prior to ad-
journment of the convention to IL o'clock
Thursday morning.
Chairman Caffery called the convention
to order at 11:3S Thursday morning. The
Platform Committee was not ready to
report, so the crowd called on Col. w. @.
z. Breckenridge for a speech. He was es-
corted forward amid mingled Kisses and
cheers, and made brief address. Mr..
Ochs, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolu-
ton that the national convention express
es grief at the untimely death of William
Il. Russell. 1t was carried by a rising
vote. T. De Witt Warner of New York,
Lehman Of Missouri, Bynum Of Indiana,
and Eckels of Illinois addressed the con-
vention. A motion to take recess at
1:45 was voted down.
Senator Villas then appeared and read
the report of the Resolutions Committee.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BLUE AND GRAY PUT FORTH AT
INDIANAPOLIS.
Anti-SiIver Democrats Adopt a Plat.
form and Name Candidates for Presi-
dent aud observation-disclosures on
First Ballot.
Palmer for President.


John NJ. Palmer, United States Senator
from Illinois, was nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States by the anti-sil-
yer Democrats at Indianapolis, and Gen.
8. b. Buckner, of Kentucky, was NOM
mated for Vice President. The nomina-
ton of Senator Palmer, who received
1874 votes on the only ballot cast, was
made unanimous on the motion of Gen.
e. S. Bragg, of Wisconsin, his only COM
petitor, who received 12412 votes. Gen.
Buckner was nominated for Vice Presi-
den. by acclamation, for no other candi-
date was placed before the convention.
The nominating and seconding speeches
were numerous, and enthusiasm ran high
from the moment the reading clerk began
to call the roll of the States until the
Chairman duly announced that the con-
vention was at an end.
The Gold Democratic national conven-
tion at Indianapolis was called to order
by Senator Palmer of Illinois at 1929
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Bishop
John Hazen White, of the diocese of In
diana, pronounced an invocation and ex-
Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio read
the call under which the convention was
assembled. Ex-Gov. Roswell T.. Flower
of New York was introduced as tempor-
ary chairman and made a long address
defining the views of the gold Democrats.
Promptly at II o'clock the doors leading
to Tomlinson Hall were opened, but ad-
mission was confined under strict orders
to ticket holders. They arrived rather
slowly ut first. A band was located in
the upper gallery at the rear of the hall.
Tomlinson Hall, in which the convention
was held, is situated at Market and
Delaware streets, in the center of the city,
within easy reach of all the hotels. 1t is
