HE DID WRONG.
An Insurance Agent Arrested for Vlo'
|ating Laws Of State.
Bound Over to Grand Iury--The Man Pro-
iesses His Innocence.

| For the past few weeks an agent oil
| Worcester, Mass, has been soliciting
| insurance in this vicinity the policies
| promising the payment of 500 in case
| of death. and $40 per week for disa-
| bility caused by accident or sickness
| The agent, whose name is III. r.. Adj
| ans has met with marked success, q
number of prominent business and
| professional men having interested
themselves in the glowing promises of
the smooth tongued agent.
The State insurance commissioner
recently learned of the affair and
Monday, had Mr.. Adams arrested for
violating the insurance laws of tn,
State. The man was brought before
Judge Andrews and was placed under
500 bonds to await the action of the
grand jury at the September term of
court. Adams left for Worcester on
the afternoon train, Monday, to see

claims innocence in the matter and
says that he supposed the company
was all right.
a Journal reporter was informed at
the insurance department at the State
House, that the company, the Masonic
Protective Association, had never
been admitted to the State for the pur-
pose of doing business. The concern
it appears, by the report of the Massa-
chusctts Insurance commissioner, by
its sworn statement on the 3lst day of
last December, only had assets
amounting to $64s. How could the
company meet its death payments,
providing it should be necessary, on
such a small amount of capital?
Those who have insured in this COM
pany get no protection from the State
and should no payment be made on
their claim and a suit instituted, the
case would come to trial in a Massa-
chusetts court. not in Maine from tho
fact that the company has no license
to do business in the State.
The insurance department is deter
mined to protect the public, as far as
possible, from the operations of fraud
ulent concerns. masquerading under
the guise of high sounding names and
offering insurance policies that can be
no protection in the time of need.
This company, as Wen as many 9th
ers using the name of the order. has
no connection with the brotherhood of
Masons, and the fact that such COM
panies limit their membership to the
members of this order does not war
rant patronage from persons desiring
reliable Insurance.
The officers of the Masonic Protect
i've Association are also officers of thu
Ridgeley Protective Association Of
Worcester, a company operating on
similar lines and combining it's mem
bership to the odd Fellows.
An agent of the Ridgeley Protective
Association was arrested, last year.
for soliciting insurance without a
license, and the officers of the associa-
ton are fully conversant with the laws
that their agents We're liable to arrest.

BOOM GOES ON.
Sale Of Real Estate at Capital Heights Is on
the Increase.


The boom of real estate on Capitol
Heights still goes on and numerous
sales are reported every day. Monday
Mr.. Alonzo A. Savage bought lot OF
Blaine avenue for building purposes
A lot corner of Blaine avenue and Null
lilzen court was sold to Lillian NJ
White and Ellie l.. Perkins purchased
one on Mason street. Hon. Samuel w
Lane some time since purchased tive
lots adjoining each other opposite
Memorial park. These were purchased
the lot directly opposite the head Of
Green street which adjoins the other
two. This lot could not be sold out
right at the present time as it is prob
able that Green street will be ex-
tended through to the muster field
The deed that conveyed the State
muster field gave Il passageway 40 feet
wide across lots which border on the
west side of Blaine avenue This was
set by the deed as 900 feet south of the
Winthrop street wall. This passage
way has been practically unused it
present entrances which have been al
lowed by the courtesy of Mr.. Gannett
up to the present time But as these
entrances cross building lots on Blaine
avenue. the State authorities will have
to make use of the passageway noted in
the deed unless some satisfactory I'M
derstandng may be arrived at to
change this passageway into some other
part Of the grounds.
For this reason the lot at the
head of Green street and one
nearer Western avenue, practically
where the roadway into the mus
ter field now crosses have been
held unsold awaiting an adjustment of
this question. on this account Mr.
Lane has so far been unable to get pos
session OF the third lot. which with
the other two would make one of the
handsomest large building lots to be
obtained in Augusta.

ARTIFICIAL SUNRISE.


Electric Lights Used to Make the
Cows Think 1t II GettinE-Up Time.
From the San Francisco Call.
Dairyman Wilder, whose milk-producing
establishment is about ten miles north of
Santa Cruz. is one Of the most ingenious
men in all California, and has done what
no other dairyman ever attempted. Every
body that has ever tried to milk COW be-
fore daylight knows what a job 1t is. Bos-
sy is generally of the opinion that there is
time for all things, and firmly objects to
being awakened and MIXED when she
thinks she should be asleep. Many cows
will refuse to be MIXED to the extent of
kicking and lying down.
All of these troubles have been Dairy
nan Wflder's, and not long ago he deter
mined to overcome them. In fact. it was
necessary that he should, as he was often
late in getting milk to his customers III
santa Cruz 1t cost considerable money
but he has more than made up for the out
lay. AT present he has one of the finest in
d.vidual electric light plants in the state.
and his cows are as easy to milk as IN
broad daylight.
When the electric plant was in position
ard ready for work there were three big
arc lights over the center of the yard
where the cows slept at night. and dozens
OF others fixed all over the different build
lHgs, the entire lot capable of producing
about 10000 candle power-enough to make
the yard as bright as day. The plant was
OF the best quality. and everything was
tried in the daytime before the surprise
was sprung on the cows.
1t worked like a charm. The bright rays
OF the hight had no sooner been turned on
than the cows commenced to get up. Most
OF them looked surprised to see the day
break so soon. but when the milkman ar
rived with his pail. they seemed to think it
was all right. and stood perfectly still
while being MIXED. The light also affected
the poultry. for the cocks commenced to
crow. and the hens went around hunting
Tor nests. Ducks, geese. dogs and cats
were all affected the same way, and the
whole barnyard was awake at o'clock in
the morning.
1t has not proved a case of the animals
getting used to it, for they behave the
same way now after the artificial sunrise
has been in operation for several months
