The Grange Address.

State Master Gardiner of ROckland,
addressed large sized audience in the
grand stand, at II o'clock. HIS address
although brief was to the point and
was well received.
He spoke in part as follows:
''Mr. President; Ladies and Gentle
men:
1T is with great reluctancy that
appear before you, today, to deliver the
annual address of your society for sew
eral reasons, the first of which Is, 1t
seems presumptuous for one who was
born more than a score of years after
the organization of the old Kennebec
Agricultural and Horticultural Society
was launched upon its honorable
career, which If have been correctly
informed is the second Oldest agricul-
tural organization now doing business
in the United .,tates.
1.-The second reason and the one that
evidently explains the cause of your
long continued growth and prosperity.
is thesfact that the Kennebec Agricui-
tural Society embraces within its limits
what is known as one of the most in
teligent and progressive class of people
to be found in all the land. Some "a
years ago, had occasion for the first
time, to make business trip through
the greater part of the territory en-
braced within the limits of your so
ciety. and I distinctly remember the
favorable impression l received OF
your people and county. at that time,
which has been strengthened BY every
return to your county, since. And as
say, it seems to be most flttingly that
should visit you in the capacity OF
raw recruit, student, or a silent
listener than to occupy the important
position assigned me by your secretary.
But as we derive our knowledge from
association with each other, exchans-
ing ideas, ETC., perhaps while here we
may all be benefited.
1--WE as representatives OF agricul-
ture represent great people and
great interests, the most important IN
dustry of our great country; an IN
dustry giving employment directly ana
indirectly to more than GO per cent. OF
the $4,000, 900 that live in this great re-
public, an industry which, in 1897, pro-
duced 50. SOC, 900, 900 worth of products;
an industry which statistics show pro-
duced from exports. in the last hscal
year, $3.50, 900, 900 of the $1,21O. OOO, OOO
exported; and all other industries In
Guiding manufacturing and mining,
only, $SeO,OOO, 0O0.; and an industry FUR
nishing 60 per cent. OF the freights that
give employment to our $4,000 miles Of
railway and of the sail and steamships
that float on our great lakes, rived

ANOTHER Acco6;nr OF MURDER.
Further Details Of the Brutal Murder q
Ivory Boothby.

A Lewiston Journal special from Saco,
says: Ivory r. Boothby, who was MUIR
dered and robbed. Wednesday night, was
a well-tO-do farmer. AZ years of age. He
had been living with his two brothers on
the Jenkins road, but during the last
three weeks had been doing farm work
for Mrs. Orrin Parcher. residing on the
Flag Pond road. With Mrs. Parcher lives
Miss Rena Merrill.
Wednesday night, about Z o'clock, when
they were sitting in the sitting ROOM
Mr.. Boothby. who was i'm his stockings.
went to the side door and asked what was
wanted. He could not see the person at
the door, but the answer came: '.My
horse has fallen down here by the bridge.
and ! want TO see II you won't assist me
that he would if the stranger would wait
Mss Merrill asked Mr.. Boothby If he
did not want a lighted lantern along with
HIM. and she proceeded to light the IAN
tern. The stranger, who must have heard
her question, said that there was no need
Of taking q lantern, as he had one down
there in his wagon, but Miss Merrill had
already lighted the lantern and handed 1t
to Mr.. Roothby as fie passed out nf the
house. This was the last they ever saw
o. MIN alive.
The women waited until O'clock. at
which time Mrs. Foss. neighbor. came
talked over with much earnestness. and
the three women started out to see il
they could find the missing man. They
went clear uD to the little bridge where
the stranger had said his horse had
fallen. but could see no sign OF horse or
man. They went back to the house and
sat up until midnight waiting for Mr..
Loothby's return. Then they retired.
They were up again at 5 o'clock and
started out to Gnew the search. Mrs.
F'oss stopped at her home minute. while
Miss Merrill kept on to the bridge, and
there found the dead body of Mr. Booth
by. He was lying on his back in the
grass by the roadside. He had been shot
at close range.
The bullet entered just below his left
jaw, coming out just above the right tenn
pie. Death must have been instantaneous
His trousers pockets were turned inside
out and no monty was to be found in his
His gold watch, however. was
still in his vest pocket with fob chain
The lantern which he had taken from
his home with him lay by his side. The
lamp had been separated from the globe
and the light extinguiAhtd.
The neighbOrs were Informed Of what
had happened. and word was brought to
Saco. Coroner Bradbury. County Attor-
ney Emmons. City Marshal Burns and
Deputy. Marshal Miles were notified. and
they all drove to the scene OF the murder
Robbery Is believed to have been the
sole motive of the crime. Mr.. Boothby
was industrious and frugal, and 1t was
that he was in the habit of keeping money
In. his pockets. How much money he had
with him when he was called out.

L0UNSBURY WINS
Republican Nomination for
Governor Of Connecticut.
But One Vote Necessary, Standing:
lounsbury, $50; Porter, 100.
u. A. Mills Defeats Lieut.. Gov. Dswsll
for that Position.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 16-The
state convention of the Republican
party of Connecticut was held At the
Hyperion theatre in this city, today.
During a session which continued with.
out intermfssion from 10 o'clock in the
nor ming until nearly p. NJ. an ex-
hauseive and comprehensive platform
was adopted. n state ticket was placed
in nomination and, a new state central
committee was elected.
The following candidates for the
s,ate officers were nominated: For
governor George E. Lounsbury Of
Ridgefield: fer lieutenant governor.
Lyman A. Mills of Mffidlefield; for
state secretary, Heber Clark Of WILL
mantle; for treasurer, c. s. Merrick OF
New Haven: for comptroller. Thomp-
son s. Grant of Enfield; for attorney
general. Chas. Phelps Of Vernon
The convention. in many WAYS. was
one OF surprises. Never before in the,
history Of Republican politics in Con-
necticut. has there developed so bitter
a contest as that which waged in its
ante convention stages between the
forces seeking the nomination for gov
ernor, Senator Lounsbury on the one
hand ard John Addison Porter, the
Presidents secretary, on the other.
Mr.. Porter forced the fighting from the
stand point of a candidate who stood
on a platform avowedly constructed as
opposed to the state organization of the
party. The fight was early outlined
and it was carried into the earliest cau-
cuses and primaries. As a result proba.
bly, no convention was ever before held
in Connecticut when so few delegates

Unusually Large Closing Day
Crowd in Attendance.
Grange Parade and Address BY Master
Gardner Occupies Morning.
Close and Exciting Races "A Slight Accident
More Awards Made.


Thursday. the last day of the fair,
opened up with a fog bank in the east
and wind in the southwest. For a
time it looked badly. but we put odds
on the wind and WON the day. People
were little frightened at first but as
the fog right, from the Bay Of Tundy,
lifted. they began to come to the fair.
They poured in through the small gates
untilona of the largest Thursday crowds
of recent years was assembled and
then the sun appeared and all were
made happy.
Twas ideal autumn weather. Just
the kind for rousing good fair and
what a good time we all had. There
wasn't a moment of tedious waiting.
Something was going on all the time;
and night with the close of the fir
came altogether too soon.
In tine forenoon the time was devoted
to the Changers. There was a Grange
parade, the best ever had. An ad-
dress was by the State Master and the
Changers felt as though Changers Day
was something more than name, after
all.
In the afternoon, there was the rae
ing. And what racing. Haley, the
handsome stallion from Gardiner, the
son of the great Nelson, shook the dust
from his feet and lowered the crack
and the owner was made richer by the
additional premium Of $25.
The grand stand was literally packed
with humanity, from forenoon to night.
The Winthrop Band, logged out
in their latest uniforms, dfscoursed the
music in a manner that was highly APP
preciated by all present.

ORGANIZATIONS or WOMEN

Successful trade unions of working

few. Wage earning women do not TAX.
to organization along trade lines With
nearly so much readiness as men. For
the most part it appears that the rea-
sons which operate against the growth
~ union amonS female workers are the
same as those which tend to place wo-
men 1T a disadvantage with men in the
wagc-carning field.
For one thing. very many wage-earn-
ing women do not regard their present
occupations as permanent but look for :
ward with more or less hope to the
time when they shall quit the wage
earning field. Men join unions because
they expect to follow their calings for
life. and therefore take a deep interest

organization or otherwise. SO that their
occupations shall continue to be attrac-

DIRTY CORN SHIPPED TO DEN
MARK

MARK.
In a circular letter Mir. Hoyer. the
Danish inspector. warns America n
shippers and farmers that rargncs of
corn from Philadelphia. Baltimore and
other American ports have contained
broken grains cob and dirt to n greater
extent than ever before experienced In
consequences says the Philadelphia IN
uuirer. there have been loud complaints
from foreign consumers. and large
quantities of American corn have been
rejected because Of its exceedingly dirty
condition. The importers have produced
the certificates of the American grain
inspectors, but in the face of the facts
as laid before the arbitration committee.
OF the Copenhagen Board Of Trade these
certificates have proved To be of no
value, since in every case the decision
has been against the importer and IN
favor of the consumer.
Mr. Hoycr warns the American public
that similar carelessneSs caused Den
mark to abandon the use of Black sea
barley and to substitute American corn.
The shipment of uncleaned and dirty
corn is an evil that ought to be cor
rccted at once. To continue the care
less practice is to impcril a rapidiy-in-
creasing market. Wherever the fault
it should be promptly located, and there
should be rigid holding to RESPONSE
bility. The charges that he certfi-
