are not likely to keep silent any longer,
now that the president of the college de-

which should at once have the effect of
calling halt in this matter. A college
that already has larger income than
any other college in the State may very
properly be left to continue it's legitimate
work without longer burdening the tax
payers of Maine. Certainly, if this added
tax is to be laid upon the people of the
State, the amount should DO divided SO
that each of the older colleges shall re-

received by the State College.

MIR. BAXTER AND THE MAYoRALTY.
We publish in another column this
morning a request signed by hundred
and fifty citizens and firms to Mayor
Baxter to accept renomination for the
mayorulty. A large part of the signers
are business men, representing
tho largest and best-known firms in this
city, who have tho interests of the city
0eeply at heart and are thoroughly
qualfled to judge correctly as to the best
way of promoting them. 1t is the unani-
NOUS opinion Of these gentlemen that
Mr.. Bnxter's denomination and re-elec-
ton to the msyoralty will be more high
" promotive of the general welfare than
that of any other man, and they there
fore urge him 10 tie interest Of his fell
low citizens, in spite of his reluctance
to do SO, to again be a candidate. The
letter contains deserved tribute to a
gentleman who has served the city as
with distinguished ability and success,
and whatever it's result SO far as the
special purpose for which it is sent, is
concerned, it will not have been sent
in vain, since il contains an assurance
of sincere public regard pleasant to give
and TO receive. Mr.. Baxter has not yet
answered the letter. 1t is earnestly
hoped, not only by the citizens who signed
it, but also by our.citizens generally, who
appreoiating Mr.. Baxter's progressive
spirit, desire that he many continue in
an office that gives him opportunities to
enhance the growth and prosperity of
the city, that his response will be favor
bic one.

Rieff states that Miss Warren urged
him to secure divorce from his wife
and marry her, saying that she would
be nicer to him than his wife was.
Her opportunities made him disgust
ed, he says, and after she had been
there a month he got her another

she went by the name of Miss Ida

that she had friends in Mankato. He

Mrs. Smith in this city. He says that
she told him once that she had been
married but that her parents did not
know it.

make trouble for him. He says that

ONE MAN KILLED.
Bad Accident at Worthington on Hub
bard & Palmer Co. s New Elevator.
Scaffoldlng Gives Away and Three
rlen Fall Twenty-Five Feet.

A terrible accident happened last
evening at Worthington, on an ele-
vator which the Hubbard & Palmer
Co. is erecting there. When the
whistle blew at six o'clock the seven
men who were at work on the build
ing crowded to the end of the scaffold-
ing where the ladder was, in order to
60 down and quit work for the day.
The great weight at that point broke
the supports and the scaffolding gave
way. Four of the men held onto the
building and were enable to get away
unhurt. The other three were not so
fortunate and were precipitated to
the ground, a distance of twenty-nine
feet.
One man, Roy Jones, whose home is
at Lake Crystal, was instantly killed,
Another man, named Nichols, who
lives at Worthington, was very SER
iously injured; while the third was
not severely hurt. 1t was thought at
first that Nichols, who is over fifty
years old, could not live, but he was
reported better today and hopes are
entertained for his ultimate recovery.
Roy Jones was son of Ellis Jones,
who has a position in the store Of
Iberg, Roberts & Jenkins, at Lake
Crystal. He was about twenty years
of age, and had worked for the Hub
bard g. Palmer Co. some time ago.
When the erection of the elevator at
Worthington was begun he went to
work on it as carpenter. His death
will be sincerely regretted by all who
knew him.
The elevator was being erected by
the firm, by the days work, and G. L.
Butterfeld, an experienced builder of
Lake Crystal, was overseeing the
work. The men say that the accident
was not due to anYbody's fault. They
we're negligent in crowding to the
end of the scaffolding, and should have
gone one or two at time.
