A special election will be held In
Texas on November l to vote for an
amendment to the state constitution,
which provides that pensions shall be
gran ted confederate soldiers. There
seems to be considerable opposition to
the proposed amendment among the
confederate veterans themselves
throughout the state, many of them
having objections to the policy
of granting pensions. Those who
are opposed to the amendment urge
that the accommodations at the state
confederate home, located at Austin,
b. increased so that all worthy veter-
ans may be properly taken care OF, and
that it would be much better and more
economical to the state to do this than
To authorize the granting of pensions.

The HERALD is strongly in favor Of
the city voting school bonds to suf-
hcient amount to insure proper accom-
modstions for all children who may G.
sire to enter the schools next year. At
some length q little time ago we stated
what additions and improvements we
believe to be absolutely necessary. We
see no reason to modify that opinion
but there seems to be desire on II e
part of many right thinking citizens 10
20 further than this, and look a little
more to the future. We believe
that at present the i'm
provement of our school facilities
is OF far greater Importance than the
building OF a fine and expensive city
hall. IL is not advisable at this time
TO vote al additional amount, more o.
less large, TO 60 TO the city hall con-
struction. 1t is advisable, and urgently
necessary, that the schools should be
properly provided for, and at once.

THE. SLAUGHTER OF DEER.
a Correspondent from Franklin Says
Poachers are Busy.

A Correspondent from Franklin Says
Poachers are Busy
A Franklin man writes to The AMERI
CAN concerning the reported slaughter Of
deer in that vicinity as follows:
"Are the deer being slaug htered?
Every indication goes to show that such
is the case.
"A Fran klin man was in the woods out
toward Spring river and reports seeing
seven carcasses of deer, and several men
with rifles and snow hoes, but Nary Il
game warden. Another man reports
seeing where deer were dragged across
the line of the Shore Line railroad
in five d ifferent places between Schoodic
bog and Franklin.
"lt is safe to say that more deer have
been killed i'll the region extending from
Bog river in Eastbrook down past Spring
river to Schoodic hill, during the past ten
days, than the still hunters have killed in
the same section in open time III the past
five years. II the wardens would get a
good man who is acquainted with the
county, and go into the woods for week
instead of watching and loahng around
hotels and railroad stations to capture a
a few bedr-footed carcasses, they could
find lots with their heofs on and possibly
few deer hunters"
Two men in camp at No. plant ntation
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Higgins,
of Bar Harbor, yesterday on complaint
of Game Warden Atwood. They were
bound over for the grand jury.

The WilIiams-CIary Concert.

The music-loving people of Ellsworth
will have rare opportunity this week to
hear two of Americas greatest singers-H.
Evan Williams who created such a furore
at the festival last year, and Mary Louise
Clary, one of the finest contraltos on this
continent.
These artists are to appear in city hall,
Bangor, Thursday and Friday evenings of
this week. Manager Spencer has arranged
for special train for the accommodation
of Ellsworth patrons, who can leave here
on the regular train at $40 p. M, or on
any other train during the day, and return
the same night, at the conclusion of the
concert.
This will certainly be one of the greatest
musical events ever held in eastern Maine,
and large crowds will probably EN- brace
the rare opportunity which the train ar
rangement spoken of presents.
Tickets may be procured the night of
concert at the city hall, or by addressing
NJ. H. Andrews music store, Bangor, and
indicating the seats desired, whether Il 90
ones or 10 cts. Cash must accompany the
order, and seats will be retained for the
parties and will be had upon application.

SOc oEOdOWdy, OCl' 4S.
 John Logan Bell, the young waiter who was arrested last night on complaint of his mother and charged with insanity was discharged this morning by Drs. Olm- sted and Milton. The boys story as pub Iished this morning evidently exercised great influence on Bells mother and her lover, for Mrs. Bell made a peculiar eX- plantation to the Insanity Commissioners.
 Mrs. Bell stated that she did not know that she was arresting her son for insani- ty when she sent for the police yesterday. She said she merely wanted him treated at the Receiving Hospital for sickness, and did not want, him sent to an asylum. The doctors could find no evidence of in sanity in young Bell, and the lad told a peculiar story. He said that for some years his mother had been desirous of railroading him to a State asylum. He lays all his troubles at the door of a man named John Martini, who is in love with his mother. Logan quit his job at the Maison Piedmont restaurant lew days ago, because he refused to Work and carry home his money which was used for the support of his mother, so long as Martini was such frequent Visi- tor to the house.
 of the way" said young Bell. Some years ago my mother, without taking me before a Judge, had me confined at Az news for a couple of years. Her desire IS due to the fact that she wants to marry Martini and 1 don't want her to.
 Mrs. Bell admits that she is anxious to marry Martini, but regrets that she is un- able to do so for six months, as she has only been divorced that length of time from her last husband. She admits that Martini is a friend to her, and that the alternative was to marry him or be thrown into the street, as she had no income of her own. She declared that her son is a mental wreck and has threat ened that both she and Martini will some day be found in the Morgue Martini is said to be a steward a coasting vessel. Young Bell has had some notQriety and was once tried for criminal assault The unreasonable to have him arrested for insanity as he Is quite bright enough to take care of himself.
