Third District Republican Convention.

There undoubtedly is rousing Re-
publican majority awaiting in the Third
Congressional District five months
hence There hasn't been any doubt
of it at any time. but the contagious
Republicanism which characterized the
convention in Waterville. Friday.
served to make the well known fact
more pronounced.
There is no wonder that the Repub-
leans Of Maine like TO get together
this of all years.
The country knows that it must re-
turn to Republican principles if it
would return to the prosperity that ex-
listed under that party's administration
of national affairs. and Maine will sound
the call next September. She will re-
turn her old delegation in the National
House, making but one exception, and
that on the condition that the man. VINO
now represents the First District in the
House and the country in the Speaker
chair be called to the Presidency. All
the others have been re-nominated-
which is equiv alent to being reelected
the Third District Republicans at
Waterville. Friday, recognizing the eff
ficient and faithful services of the Hon.
Seth L. Mllken, and without dissent
ing voice calling upon him to again
represent them.
The speeches which followed in the
course of the proceedings We're admir-
ably appropriate to the occasion and
that of Mr.. Milliken was regarded as one
of the best he ever made and the
warmth of the reception accorded him
and the applause that greeted his words
mast have been very gratifying to him.
The demonstrations with which every
ailusion to. Mr. Reeds candidacy was
received, afforded unmistakable evil
dence of the loyal sentiment of this
district, and the delegation, Forrest
Goodwin, Esq, of Skowhesan, Edward
c. Chase, Esq, of Bluehiu. with the
gentlemen chosen as alternates, is
made up to do effective work for Maine
and New England's candidate at St.
Louis.

To the Public.

We, the undersigned engaged in
laundry business in the city of Angus
ia, believe that the practice which has
grown up of giving credit for laundry
work has proven injurious to our in
terests and the interests of our pa
irons. The rapidly increasing number
of accounts and the endless work OF
keeping record of and collecting the
same necessitates our adopting the
cash system. our accounts being nee
essarily small, the time required for
collecting aggregates to the laundry a
considerable loss; furthermore. our own
current expenses, mainly for labor re-
quire cash from us.
We therefore hereby agree that on
and after May ]. 1896, we will do no
more laundry work except for cash,
the work to be paid for when delivered.
The following list of prices have been
agreed upon.

TENDER 80, Mr.. Hermann told the jan
itor of the place, a man named John
son, to clean out the big heating fur
mace in the basement and prepare it
for a fire. The furnace was at one time
used for warming the church, but a
long time before caused a disastrous
blaze that came near destroying the
building. After that, it had never been
used, stoves being set up instead. Be-
sides that, the weather was very warm,
but Mr.. Hermann said he wanted to
try the pipes. In accordance with his
instructions, Janitor Johnson cleaned
out the furnace, and carried six buckets
of coal into the basement. He was pre-
pairing to start the fire, but the pastor
said that he wished to attend to all
that himself, and told the janitor to re-
tire. This was shortly after the noon
hour, and soon the furnace was going
in full blast.
Overcome BY the Heat and Stencil.
A young man who works nights was
sleeping in the rooms occupied by his
family, and the heat shortly became
so intense. and such doors were
given out that he became I'M
conscious and had to be splash
ed with water before he revived.
His parents went down to the base
ment to demonstrate, but Mr.. Hermann
kept his fire going merrily until nearly
or quite 6 o'clock in the evening, when
he extinguished it. During all this
time he renamed alone in the base
