Biddeford, May 27.-Deacon Lorenzo
Em1nons of Oak Ridge has made COM
plant to the police regarding the boys of
his neighborhood, who he alleges have
been disturbing the meetings held under
the tent in his field since the services
were begun under the auspices of Mr.
Tvedt, the man from the leatheroid
factory in Kennebunk, in opposition to
the regular Sunday meetings presided
over by Mr.. Callaghan of Portland the
Methodist supply.
Ever since the tent was put up in the
field the boys have attended in large
numbers, and it is alleged, have made it
anything but pleasant for the leaders.
Smoking under the tent and the use OF
profane language and other indignities
are among the things charged against the
boys. The marshal has promised to at
tend to the matter and will have a care
full investigation made and arrests are
likely to follow.

KANSAS TO BUILD A RAILROAD.
Latest Scheme from the Nursery of Lons
Haired Statesman.

Mankatee, Kas., May 27-Two thousand
Populists held an indignation meeting
here last night to discuss railroad freight
rates, and the meeting afforded Gov.
Leedy an opportunity to spring surprise
upon the people of Kansas.
He announced that he appeared before
the meeting as a representative of COM
pany of railroad men who desired to go
into partnership with the public in the
building of a railroad from some po int in
central Nebraska through Kansas, Okla
homa, Indian Territory and TexasTto the
Gulf. He said the company he spoke of
was ready and able to complete tho road
provided the public would take the ma
jority interest in it and that the public
need notput up one cent until the rail
road should be completed.
The proposition is that the states and
municipality shall hold the majority of
the stock.
Prominent Texans, the governor said,
had expressed willingness to take hold
of the scheme and he believed that Texas
is willing to invest S23, 900, 0OO0 of her
surplus school funds in securing more
equitable freight rates.
The governors plan was enthusias-
tically applauded.

taken up, an agreement having been
made to vote at p. m. The question of
the forest reserves was discussed at
length.
The senators from the state affected by
the forest order urged the rejection of the

barbarious and inhuman, and Mr.. Stew
art of Navada characterized it as "a dis
grace to American civilization and the

which recommended this act, should be
rebuked and he favored the defeat of

the order stand.

arrangement that could be made with the
