March 24.-The Carnival came off as
advertised March Is and 10. The wealth
er was fine the first evening and a large
crowd assembled. There was a grand
march of eightyfive advertisements"
bearing banners and wearing every con-
ceivabe article of merchandise on their
dresses or heads. Mrs. G. w. Farmer
occupied the throne as queen oftrades.
The speaking was good, and everything
went off in grand style which was owing
to the rare skill of the manager, Miss
Mamie Danforth of Lisbon. The enter
tainment was voted frst-class, and about
$500 was realized from the affair which
was designed to hereft the NJ. E. Church.
Mrs. John Spencer and Mrs. c. c. Hicks
have been interchangeable in their efforts
to make the affair a success, and deserve
more than empty thanks for their labors.
Mrs. Della Lyman continues in q criti-
cal condition, being entirely helpless thus
far. She sustained a very severe shock
and the physician declares that the left
side will never regain strength. A large
number of sincere friends sympathize
with her in this great calamity.
The remains of Mrs. Ira Whipple were
brought from Providence, R. |. Saturday.
The funeral on Sunday p. M, was held at
the home of her brother A. |. Capen,

had a sad experience at Hastings, Me-,
last Friday. He was hauling logs for
the Wild River Lumber Co., and had
loaded his team but before he could Sc
cure the load the last log slipped off the
sled, and striking Ellsworth knocked him
down and rolled over him, breaking one
leg besides inficting other injuries. The
roads were in such condition owing to
the great storm that it wasimpossible to
get assistance and it was thirty hours
after the accident ere medical aid reached
him. He was brought home Saturday

BOURKE COCHRAN BOLTS.
Bryan-Favors Gold Demo-
Gratis Indorsing Mckinley
Electors.

New York, Aug. 3.-Bourke Cochran
returned Saturday from Europe by the
steamer Paris. Mr.. Cochran did not
forget American politics during his trip
and he has evolved q plan by which he
thinks the defeat of the Chicago candi-
dates may be encOmpasSed. Speaking
of the situation, he said:
L regard it as the gravest in the his
tory of the country, exceeding in i'm
pOrtance the crisis of 1850 The seces-
sion movement was but an attempt to
divide this country between two govern
ments, each of them designed to pro-
tect property within the limits Of its
jurisdiction. The movement launched
at Chicago is an attempt to paralyze
industry by using all the powers of
government to take property from the
hands Of those who created it and place
it in the hands of those who cOVet it.
This is a question of morals as well as
of politics. No political convention can
issue valid license to commit offenses
against morality and I decline to follow
Mr.. Bryan in crusade against hon
esty and the rights Of labor
Will you support Major Mckinley
outright, or do you favor the nomina-
ton of another Democratic ticket
I believe that all Democrats who are
so thoroughly in favor Of sound money
that they place the defeat of J3rya
above the interests of any organization
or party should meet in convention for
the purpose of considering the form or
method by which they can give the
greatest efficiency to the opposition.
For my part, I do not believe that the
nomination of other candidates for
president and vice president, however
eminent and deserving they might be
personally or politically, would serve
any useful purpose
Your obvious policy, then, would be
to indorse the Mckinley eIectors?''
Precisely. What is needed there
fore, is not a new ticket. but a new
platform which will declare in unnis-
taxable language the cardinal features
of the party faith, and which. while in
dorsing Mckinley electors, viii provide
for really Democratic opposition to
the Mckinley administration during
the period of it's existence"
