INDIAN ANN. SHE WORKED THE GOLD MINE RACKET SUC-
 CESsFULLY. Several Little Rock and Hot Springs Citizens Said
 to Have Been
 Duped.

Elizabeth Mcdonald, the Chero- kee woman who created such Q stir over the reported deserted gold mines near Marche, to which she had key in some old maps she claimed to have inherited from her ancestors, says the Little Rock Democrat, has deeamped.
 Mr. Frank Lucas, postmaster at Marche, was in the city today and reported that Saturday night she picked up her two children and what earthly belongings she posses sed, walked to Palarm, 8 distance of six miles, and departed for the West. She took whith her no gold except that which she had harves- ted from the gullible who believed her improbable story of buried treasure. The IF kegs of virgin gold, said to be concealed in the Maumelle hills, have not materia. lized, and there are several Little Rock and Hot Springs citizens who have reached the conclusion that the mysterious stone tablets GOV cred with quaint hieoglyphics, were only the footprints of prehis- toric birds.
 It is said that she secured several hundred dollars in all. Her identity is said to be the same as that of "Indian Ann" a woman who worked a similar game in lucky.

v - c. M. Philpot for Constable,

By reference to the regular column, the announcemement of Mir. c. NJ. Philpott for reelection to tho office of Constable of Vaugine Township will be found therein. Mir. Philpot has served the people of this town ship as constable for two successive terms, and so efficient has been his administration of that office that he has been solicited to stand for re- election. Mir. Philpot has been a most conscientious and faithful officer-a fact that is appreciated by the residents of Vaugine township and he has made most efficient conseryator of the peace. In fact, during his administration, he he has successfully raised the office in public esteem and has so well served the people that the law-abiding element have forced him to defer to their wishes and stand for third term. A more capable and efficient constable never ser ved the people of Vau- zine township than Mir. Phil pott, and.should he be reelected he will serve the public as faithfully for another term as in the past.

Kentucky, asking me if had lost this identical overcoat, saying that the last time she saw me had donated one of the sleeves to a friend of hers. l did not know that the thief had any special grudge against me, but he stole my coat and left that of Mir. Coleman hang ing by the side of mine. Now, 1 ob- ject to this kind of partialty and respectfully ask the thief to call and get Mr. Coleman's overcoat, as he deems it u reflection upon his coat which was left while mine was StOl6n.'

RAILROAD AND STEAMBOATS,.

There has been a gradual improvement
in the business of the Belfast branch, both
in passengers and freight. The shipment
of phosphate to the interior is quite an
important item. The summer arrange
ment of trains was different from any pre-
vlously in force. The trips of the freight
trains and the afternoon passenger train
We're extended to Waterville and the an
rangement is still continued with the
freight, though abandoned in the passen-
ger train for the season with the advent of
the fall time table. By the arrangement
of trains which went into effect Oct 9th,
the freight train left at 23O m, but in
response to a protest from the business
men the train was changed to the old
time, $3.50.
The Boston & Bangor Co has given
the public good service and that it has
been appreciated is shown by the steadily
increasing patronage. During the sum-
mer season the City of Bangor on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, went up
river in the morning and returned in the
afternoon of the same day; the Penobscot
and Lewiston making the other trips to
keep up the daily line. The Rockland
was on the line between Rockland and
Bangor, making the round trip daily dur

been destroyed.

in the season, was off during the

EVENTS OF THE PAST YEAR.
Following is our annual review of local
happenings, business, social and munich
pal events, etc, for the year 1895. The
depression prevalent in business through
out the country was telt here to greater
extent than in 1894, yet there were no
failures and no complete shutdown in
any branch of manufacturing. On the
whole our people have reason to be thank
full ton the amount of prosperity we, as a
community, have enjoyed during the year
that has Just closed.
