A Great Favorite in Aroostook.


me Republican was one of the very
| first newspapers to urge the selection of
| Hon. Llewellyn Powers for governor of
Maine, and his unanimous nomination is
as gratifying to us as 1t Is to his thou
sands of other true-hearted friends from
the St John river to the extreme western
part of the State.
The next governor of Maine, Mr. Pow
ers, is native of the State He is of the
common people, and the sturdy farmers
of Aroostook have been charmed by the
genial, magnetic qualities of the man
who Is always interested in their welfare,
and who shows his manhoods worth by
his placing himself on level with the
people.
Lew" Powers is a great favorite in
his own county as will be evidenced
when the people have a chance to show
Their appreciation of his worth and ser
vices at the polls.
MIR. Powers is a self-made man. and by
his own unaided efforts has placed his
name high on the roll of the successful
and honored sons of the Pine Tree State.
He was county attorney of Aroostook
for some years, the first collector of Gus
toms in this district. a member of Con-
gress from the fourth district, and served
with marked and distinguished ability
as member OF the Legislature, occupy
ing the speakers chair at the last SEES
sion.
Endowed with all the qualities that
make men great the selection OF Mr.
Powers as the standard bearer OF Maine
Republicans is wise and judicious, and is
also fitting recognition of the brilliant

Town Nominations.
 With publication, last week, of the official notice that town election will be held on the 9th of April, a hustling commenced about the streets looking to nominations of candidates for the various offices. The earliest in the field were those who have been opposing the work of the present council, and all of Saturday, Sunday and Monday rumors were rife of the ticket they proposed to nominate. Monday it was whispered that they would meet that evening in the back part of Joseph Pascholy's store. One gentleman supposed to be in the con- tidence of the engineers of this move- ment informed some of the members of the council and their friends of what was intended and advised them to attend that meeting, and all unite in placing in nomination every man men, tioned, the officers of the meeting to certify up to the Town Clerk all the names to be printed on the official ticket. But the proposition was 'sat down on" hard by one of the "kickers" when broached to him-aDd the gen. tleman making it withdrew it.
 Monday afternoon some of the mem- bers of the council circulated a call for d public meeting to consider the qucs- tion of future conduct of the town and to nominate ticket. The meeting was called in room ad- jacent to Pellegrin's grocery store. At he appointed hour there were gath cred some sixty odd voters by actual count.
 At the other meeting were gathered twelve men. A plan was suggested to attend the big meeting, endeavor to ominate portion of the ticket, fail in which they would return to their original place of meeting and nominate their own ticket. So when the meeting of citizens was called to order there were present about seven ty-fye qualified electors of the town of Nogales.
 The meeting was called to order by MT. George Christ, Jr., who placed in nomination for chairman Allen T. Bird. Mir. D. Calisher placed Jos. Pascholy in nomination. Mir. Bird was elected and installed.

 MT. Casanega moved the nomination in body of the five gentlemen now serving as counclmen-Me Messrs. Fred Herrera, J. T. Brickwood, Theodore Gebler, L. W. Mix and c. A. Avery and the motion received numerous seconds.
 MT. Calisher protested against nom- nations being made in that manner, holding that others present should be glVep an opportunity to place candl- dates for nomination before the con- ventiOn. The chair ruled that the presentation for nomination of the present council in a body was in order, but that MT. Calisher or any one else who liked could present candidates for consideration by the convention. The nominations were held open for some time to give others chance to present names, and they were re-opened for that purpose, and held open for some time after they were once closed. Then they were finally closed and the five men named were nomin- ated by exclamation.
 At this point the opposition with drew from the nall and returned to their own place of meeting.
 For Town Marshal, James Speedy and John Roberts were placed before the convention. A. J. Griswold and George Christ Jr., were appointed tellers. A ballot was taken giving % votes for Speedy, l3 votes for Roberts and 3 blanks. Speedy was declared the nominee.

 Last week TIE OASIS mentioned the killing of Senor Luis Acuila of Arizpe district. Later advices state that the tragedy occurred at the home of the gentleman, near Bacoachi. and the particulars are about as follows: The hired man was caught fast asleep about a month ago, when he should have been working. Acufa awakened him by kick, and the fellow told him that as soon as he had money enough he would buy gun and kill him. Re gently he procured gun and asked Acuila out of the house as he had something to tell him. Just as soon as Acufla came out the villain opened fire, shooting him five times. His son, a lad of twelve years, hearing the noise ran out with gun in hand to help his father, but was shot before he could use his weapon. The father died immediately but the son will probably recover, as the shot took effect in his leg. The name of the fellow who did the shooting they are unable to learn. Last accounts the cordada were in hot pursuit, and his capture has probably been made ere this.

When Her Promise to Re-

A Swallow of Poison Ends the Un.
fortunate Daughters Life
of Shame.

PORTLAN D, Or, May 13.-Frederick
A. Frischkorn, pioneer resident of Pore
land, died last Saturdav-died through
grief, it is said. and so the events that fol-
low tend to show. He was buried to-day.
To-day on a.slab at the morgue lies the
body of his daughter, Grace Emma Frisch-
korn, suicide, the girl having taken poi
son and died in disorderly house at
Sedro, Wash, on receiving telegram an
nouncing the death of her father.
About four years ago Grace met man
named Jack" Ormsby, who led her astray.
Her subsequent degradation was all kept
from the father until about two months
ago, when he, by chance, overhearing a
conversation, was made acquainted with
his daughters downfall. Old age and busi-
ness reverses had already worn his health
and with the crushing news of his daugh-
ter's fall he took to his bed. He still loved
the Grace he rememb bered as a little girl,
however, and during his illness pleaded
that she be brought to him.
The old mans appeals at last became so
strenuous that the daughter. then at Sc
dro, the logging-camp in which she COM
mitted suicide, was sent for. She came,
and by what promised to be her fathers
deathbed vowed to leave the life she had
been leading and henceforth live good
woman. Frischkorn, overjoyed, at once
began to recuperate, and five weeks ago
was able to sit up aud be about. every
prospect pointing to his complete re-
covery.
Then Grace received letter from Orms-
by, asking that she come to Tia coma, where
they would be married. He had secured
good position, he said, with salary
sufficient to support her nicely. The
father was dubious, but on the proposal of
Grace to have the younger daughter &C
company her to act as bridesmaid at the
wedding he consented, aud the two girls
left for the sound.
In ten days the younger girl was back in
Portland. To all questions as to the mar
riage OF her sister she gave evasive an
swers.
At last the father in his worriment de-
manded full statement of what had oc-
Cured on the trip to Tacoma. Then it
came out that Ormsby, instead of marry
ing Grace, as he had promised, had forced
her to again enter the Sedro house, and
had intimated that the younger girl
should also become an inmate. To the
memory of the dead woman be it said that
she repudiated her lovers proposition as
to the sister, and pawning her iewelry sent
the younger girl home.
The father on hearing this at once took
to his bed, and on Saturday morning died.
On Sunday morning the news was wired
to Grace at Sedro, with the request that she
come to attend the funeral. This telegram
was received on Sunday noon. AS the girl
opened and read the contents she remarked
simply:
~ have killed him. Now I'll go too."
Reaching her room the larger part of a
bottle OF morphine was taken, and despite
medical assistance she died toward morn

STOCKTON, CAL, May 13.-Before 9
o'clock this morning there was not an

taken to go to the American Protective
Association picnic at Lodi to-day. Long
before the extra three cars were backed
into the railway station there was a large
crowd there and the cars proved made
quate to carry the people who wanted 20

and several hundred were left on the plat
form to wait for the Sacramento train, to
which the special cars were to be at
tached.
The Sixth Regiment band had been en-
gagged and discoursed popular airs at the
station while the crowd waited. Mayor
Baggs was on hand bright and early in
company with Street Superintendent Bid
well, and soon President Lang of the CITY
Council joined them. He wore small
American flag, fully six by nine inches in
diameter, as boutonniere, and beamed on
every one he knew ard many that he did
not. In spite OF the windy weather the
ladies turned out In their summer dresses,
g nd pretty lawns and dainty muslins lent
color and brightness to the scene.
AT Lodi the crowd was greeted by the
local band and the Sacramento delegation
that came down from the Capital City had
with it the crack band of that place to
make music while the others made merry.
