shortly after noon. Wednesday, the

MORSE'S STORE ENTERED.
Burglars Took $50 in Plumber Sometime
Tuesday Night.

The confectionNy and novelty store
owned by w. w. Morse on Water street.
was broken into, sometime Tuesday
night, and a quantity of cigars, pipes
cutlery and money taken.
The discovery of the theft was made
in the morning, when the store was
opened, as the money drawer had been
broken open, and the cigars were scat
tered about on the show case.
The burglar or burglars entered by a
very circuitous route. They went up
the stairway that leads to Dr. Roberts
dental rooms, and cut a hole in panel
in the door, evidently with a Jack
knife In this way they unlocked the
door with the key that was on the in
side. This admitted them to a little
entry from which there is a door that
leads to the storeroom of Morse's store
They gained admittance to this room
by cutting out one Of the lower panels
and crawling through.
When inside this room, instead OF go
ing to the store by the way Of the stair
way. they used a short ladder that was
in the ROOM and went down through a
trap door
They emptied small sack of peanuts
and evidently appropriated the sack
in which to carry away their plumber.
1t happened that there was not over
three dollars; in the money drawer.
which Mr. Morse says was a very small
amount
They did not take the railroad mileage
books that were in the drawer, evident
ly having no use for them.
The case has been placed in the
hands Of City Marshal Morse, and
developments are expected at an early
hour.

the contest. A goodly number Of Colby
students were present on the grounds,
and Justify cheered their team.
Libby started in to pitch for Bowdoln
but his arm, which has been IN
wrctched condition since the Brown
game, gave out and he was obliged to
give way to Bacon in the sixth inning.
Bacon rose to the occasion and pitched
effectively for the remainder of the
game. Colby's freshmen pitcher, New
the Bowdoin players. For Colby Rowell
played the best game, obtaining two
hits and accepting II chances without
an error IN fielding of the entire
BoW('oin team was sharp and snappy.
In the sixth inning Colby by bunch
ing hits succeeded in scoring five runs,
and matters looked doubtful from a
BoWdCin standpoint. Colby met its
Waterloo, however, in the seventh
when BoWdoin with two men out sue
ceedcd in pounding out five singles and
scoring six runs That settled the mai
ter. Colby scored but once more. and

acting according 10 our highest convic-

the following: Take e. g., this glaring
illustration which "" are compelled to
look upon in our State: this pr0hbitory

of our constitution by overwhelming ma
ioritieS. Ii IS an issue in which fair
minded men have taken a just pride and
The Republican party has year after year
pledged itself to this cause and to the en-
'forccment of this law. The party has re-
peatedly rcatiirmed this position both in
platform ana public address.
But the method which is pursued to
evade and practically to annul this law
IS common knowledge. IT may not be
commonly known. that. often the county
attorney. while prosecuting offenders with
great gusto. is at the same time acting
as counsel for the wholesale liquor deal
ers in the very same cases. Thus the
exorbitant fees on the one side have re-
strained any undue zeal for enforcement
on the other. Now how long can such
public jugglery with our laws be carried
on? Here is constitutional law and the
dcclaratiVc statement of the party in
power on the one side. ana on the other
4 method of protection in our cities which
amounts to a low license. Here is con-
dition of things which should certainly
appeal to the honor and conviction of
every loyal citizen. The cause of com
mon humanity calls upon the citizens to
