,rrxRRp As SECOND oLAss MAIL NATTER,

As announced last week, the Maine
Farmer, which has attained the mature
age of Ga years has changed hands, the
surviving partner of the firm of Badger
+ Manley, Hon. Joseph H. Marley.
having sold it to corporation formed
fnr its publication known as the Maine
Farmer Publishing Company. The "big
four" of the corporation, which appears
"a be a close one, are j. H. Manley,
Oscar Holway, James S. Sanborn and
Geo. NJ. Twitchell, and these names con-
stitute a sufficient guaranty that the old
Maine Farmer, which has so ably served
the farmers of Maine will take no back
tracks. DIR. Twitchell is manager in the
new dispensation and we expect he will
make things hum ia the Farmer office.
As Secretary of the Maine Agricultural
society for seven years and as lecturer of
the Maine State Grange his acquaintance
with Maine people interested in agricul-
tural pursuits is wide and intimate.
Furthermore, he has been on the editorial
staff Of the Farmer since 1882 and ex-
perence counts. We are pleased TO see
that the editorial staff remains un-
changed and thus the pen of the veteran
Howard Owen will continue TO enrich
the columns of the Farmer.

COLTS Confession.

Madrid. Aug. 10.-Golh has confessed
that he killed Senior Canovas to avenge
the Barcelona anarchists and the in
surgent leader, Don Jose RiEal, who was
executed at Manita, Philippine islands,
on Dec. 80 last, as the instigator Of the
Philippine rebellion. Or. Rial denied
that he was a rebel leader, but he ad
mitted that he had drawn up the statutes
of the Philippine league.
In COLTS room the police found a large
double barreed pistol. 1t appears that

LOADED for Bear"
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
read your item of last week
about party of young Massachusetts
students who were hunting for bear
but shot COW moose, etc, and who the
commissioners concluded, under the cir
cumstances, ought not to be subjected to
the severe penalty of months imprison-
ment, with some curiosity.
OF course those two students from
Massachusetts knew bear track when
they saw it and a bear track would be
plainly visible in Maine forest in July.
A moose is one of the shyest of animals
especially cow moose but the TWO
students run plump onto one while trail
ing the bear and acting upon the first
impulse, they shot and killed the animal :;
it is said that first impulse lasted until
the two students shot thirteen bullets
into the moose. Finding they had
violated the law, the precise period that
they discovered that fact does not appear
but it is reported that Commissioner Oak
saw the party while ON their way to
their camp and took dog away from
them and served II copy of the fish and
game laws upon them, they attempted TO
hide their game by sinking it, the car
cass, into the river which WAS near at
hand. 1t cannot be claimed that the two
students could have dragged the carcass
of moose from the land into the water,
so here we have the truth of the matter,
the moose was shot in the water and the
bear was being tracked in the water
But the moose would not stay down
and when a stir was made about it, or in
other words when the oflense of the two
students had been discovered they con-
fessed. OF course after they killed the
moose they did not hunt bear any longer.
Commissioner Carleton being satisfied
that this story was straight one as
told, and as a lawyer he could have no
doubt of its probability and truthfuness,
declines to prosecute, as by law passed
by the recommendation of the fish and
game commissioners, il convicted the
two students would be liable to i'm
prisonment.
1t is reported that when that party of
students reached Kineo on their way out
from that celebrated bear hunt they
were received with open arms, the band
struck up "See the conquering hero
comes" and the fish and game com
missioners there met and congratulated
them on the result of their first bear
hunt. All these things tend of course to
foster respect for laws pertaining to
fish and game and there can be no doubt
but that bear hunts and the disposition
to shoot thirteen times upon the first I'M
pulse will become popular. $. }. w.

The annual muster of the National
Guards of Maine has been in progress
since Saturday last at the State muster
fields in Augusta. Until Wednesday the
weather was very favorable and every
thing moved along with military precision
and the best of order. The two regi-
ments were there in full ranks and we'll
Differed. The ambulance corps and ,
regimental bands brought the number of
off GERS and men up TO 1900 men, which
is, we think, a larger force than has
heretofore attended State musters. Sat
urday was occupied in getting into camp
and getting everything adjusted and in
good running order for the week. Mon
day and Tuesday, nice bright days, were
used in drill, parades, sharpshooting and
general soldiers work. Governor and
Mrs. Powers accompanied by Adjutant
General Richards and several State
officials visited the grounds Tuesday.
The heavy rain disturbed things general
" Wednesday, and kept the men in
their tents. The attendance of speeta.
tors the first days was not as large as in
former years. To-day, Thursday, is
Governors day and the great day of the
encampment.
