DIDN'T BUY THE HOTEL.
And Forgot to Pay His Board. Also to
Return Money Borrowed from Guests.

About two weeks ago there appeared at
the Sebago Lake hotel, for a sojourn for
his health, a well appearing gentleman
who gave the name of Joseph W. Miller,
who said he was a partner in hat and
cap factory at Providence, R. I. He
claimed that he had once been a chef and
had served in some of the best hotels of
the country, among them Wentworth Hall
at jackson, N. H, and the Wentworth S
establishment at Pasadena. AS he gave
very successful demonstration of his
cooking abilities in the Sebago Lake hotel
the guests are inclined to believe that
their is some truth in this part of his
story. He took great fancy to the hotel
property and after he had been there a
time expressed desire to purchase it,
and accordingly entered into negotiations
with the Cumberland Loan Association
of Portland, which has q claim on the
property. He was to meet the secretary
of the association on Tuesday to consum-
mate the purcheas, but on that day he
disappeared and has not been seen since
He owes the proprietor of the hotel for
two weeks board and number of guests
considerable sums of money which he
borrowed. One guest mourns the loss of a
fine valise which he borrowed to take his
washing in to Portland laundry the day
before he disappeared

Rules Time for Examination of Cows
Extended to July 18th.
The directors of the Milk Producers
Association met in Portland yesterday
morning and chose a committee to inter
view the Board of Health for the purpose
OF considering the milk ordinance lately
passed by the board.
Inc meeting was long one, and re-
porters were not allowed to be present.
but we are Informed that the meeting
was harmonious and resulted in a salts
factory arrangement between the parties
The committee asked the board that
certain changes should be made, among
them this principal change: That Sec
ton OF the rules and regulations be
amended by inserting after the words
"tuberculin test," in the second line the
following words: Whenever the veter-
marian first called upon to examine
cow, or herd of COWS, deems it advisa-
ble,' and this amendment was accepted
by the board Cor will be if duly approved
by any of the justices of the Supreme
Court and adopted.
Another change suggested was that the
COWS should be examined every year and
not confined to the month of June. This
leaves the matter of examining the COWS
by tuberculin to certain extent with
the veterinarian, but he must, however,
be approved by the Board of Health, and
if his work is not satisfactory to the
board the approval can be revoked at any
time.
The board agrees to extend the time of
examination of COWS to July 18th of this
year.

that it takes the entire cotton crop
of 100000 bales, and the entire
corn crop of 1, ,000,o 900 bushels
to pay the expenses of the federal

state, county and municipal gov

crop and the oat crop, and make q
