Chance for New Industry.

c. w. Pierce has received letter from
the parties whom it was hoped would
establish a leather board factory here, in
which they say they are now negotiating
with another town, and intimating that
the business men of Ellsworth did not
manifest interest enough in the matter.
Mr.. Pierce believes little timely effort
on the part of Ellsworth would have
secured the factory.
On the other hand, c. II. Drummey,
president of the board of trade, says he
wrote to the factory people soon after
their proposition was made, telling them
just what he thought Ellsworth would
do. He received no reply to his letter.

Our Eastbrook correspondent writes:
While blowing recently, Guy Butler found an
old coin about the size of old fashioned cent.
1t is very heavy. On one side is the picture of
a man holding a sword surrounded by the
words 81 take the responsibility. On the other
side, beneath the words "Roman Firmness", is
the picture of donkey. while surrounding the
whole are the words THE constitution as l un-
derstand it,.
The coin found by Mr.. Butler is a Jack
son token. Its history, in brief, as pub
lished in THE AMERICAN few months
ago, is as follows: The coin was made
during Jacksons administration. He was
the one who used the veto power, and with
Roman tirmness "took the responsibility
to have the deposits removed from the
bank; al least his influence did much to
secure their removal. The braced back
mule pulling at his halter represents his
determination to carry out his point. The
coin is not particularly valuable.

Big Job for Lamoine Boy.

Jefferson Hodgkins, Lamoine boy, is
president Of the Brownell improvement
company, OF Chicago, which built the
mason work for elevating the steam rail-
way above the street at Sixteenth and
Clark street, one of the busiest crossings
III the city. Inc work is now completed.
1t was an enormous task, and was done
under the personal supervision of Mr..
Hodgkins. Some idea of the work may
be formed from the statement that 20, 900
barrels of Portland and 5000 of Louis
willie cement were consumed in making
the concrete used in the walls and arches

OBITUARY..
MISS KATHERINE D. JOY.

MISS KATHERINE D. JOY.
Miss katherine ID. JOY, daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Calvin p. Joy, of this city, died
New York city, " here she was studying
to be nurse. Thsnews OF her death,
contained in a telegram which reached
Ellsworth before the letter which an
nounced her illness, came with crushing
suddenuess on her family and friends.
Miss Joy was in the twenty fourth year
OF her age. She graduated from the
Ellsworth high school with the class Of
'9i, and after postgraduate course, en-
tered Holyoke college. About year ago
she went to the New York hospital to
study for a professional nurse.
A week before her death she was taken
ill with typhoid fever, from which spinal
meningitis developed As already stated
the letter announcing her illness, because
of some delay in the mails, did not reach
here until after the news OF her death.
Her sister, Mrs. Ida Knox, OF Chester
Mass, WAS notified of her illness, and WAS
at her bedside when she died.
Miss Joy was one of Ellsworth's bright
est and most popular girls. She could
count as friends everyone VITO knew her,
and the expressions OF sorrow heard on
every side were a glowing tribute to her
worth. Not in Ellsworth alone was sorrow
felt, but the words of sympathy and ex
pressions OF personal sorrow which came
from her associates in New York showed
that there too she had been known and
loved. For the bereaved family much
sympathy is felt.
The remains were brought to Ellsworth
where funeral services were held Monday
afternoon, Rev. w. X. Hunt officiating.
The pail bearers were F. A. Coombs, F. K.
SWEET, J. A. Stuart and George E. Par
SONS.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Mckinley has issued his
Thanksgiving Day proclamation,
which after the momentous events
of the past year should have special
significance for every patriotic Amer
lean. 1t follows:
by the President Of the United States, A
Proclamation.
THE approaching November brings to mind
the custom of our ancestors, hallawed by time
and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of
giving thanks TO Almighty God for all the
blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the
past year
Following our history, afforded
much cause fer Thanksgiving. We have
been blessed by abundant haryests, our
trade and commerce have been wonderfully In
creased our public credit has been improved
and strengthened. all sections of our common
country have been brought together and knitted
into closer bonds of national purpose and unity
1.-The skies have been for a time darkened by
the cloud of war, but As we Were compelled to
take up the sword in the cause OF humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has
been Of SO brief duration, and losses we have
had to mourn, though grey!ous aud important,
have been so few considering the great results
accomplished as to inspire Us with gratitude and
praise to the Lord of hosts.
1--WE may 'laud and magnify His holy name
that the cessation of ho-tilities came soon as
to spare both sides the countless SORROWS and
disasters that attend protracted war.
~ do therefore invite all my fellow citizens
as well those at home rs those who may be
at sea or sojourning in foreign lands, to set
apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of
November, as a day OF national thanksgiving,
to come together In their several places of wor-
ship. for a service OF praise and thanks to Al
mighty God for all the blessings of the year
for the miidness of the seasons and the fruitful
ness OF the soil; for the continued prosperity
of the people, for the dev lotion and valor of our
countrymen; for the glory of our victory and
hope of righteous peace, and to pray that
the divine guidance which has brought us
heretofore to safety and to honor may be
graciously continued in the years to come.

How the Pittsburg G Gulf Rail-
road is Setting
All the Other Old Railroads by
the Ears.
GRAIN IN BIG STREAMS
Going to Tidewater on the
Gulf at Such Rates
That the Business of the Other
Roads is DemOralized.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune today
says:
Much alarm is felt in western railroad
circles over the attitude of the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad. Unless
this road can be checked in its rate de-
stroying career earnings of western rail-
roads will be most seriously affected and
expected dividends will vanish into air.
Announcement is made that the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf has put into effect
a rate on corn of u cents a hundred
pounds from Kansas City to Galveston
and New Orleans. In addition it will
absorb the elevator charges. which amount
to 2 cents a hundred pounds. This is the
lowest rate ever made to tidewater from
the Missouri river.
Against such a rate as that the east
bound roads from the Missouri river can
not compete. The rate from the Missouri
river to Chicago on corn is u cents
hundred pounds, not including elevator
charges, and from Chicago to New York
the rate is 171a cents. This makes
through rate on export corn from the Mis-
souri, river via Chicago of 2914 cents
hundred pounds, against II cents,
minus elevator charges. from Kansas City
to Gulf ports. Even the roads competing
with the Gulf road ind they cannot meet
the latter's rate without losing money.
The Gulf apparently cares not whether
It makes money on the transportation of
freight. It's promoters expect to reap a
rich harvest in land speculation.
The situation would not be quite 50 bad
for the roads east from the Missouri river
If the Kansas City & Gulf would get no
further east than Kansas City But it
has acquired lately lines into Missouri and
Iowa, and is extending them to num-
Der of points. This enables it to take
corn from the heart of the western corn
belt to the Gulf.

A BOYCOTT IN DENVER.
Department Stores Combine to Dictate
Prices, Including Advertising.

Denver, Jan. 11.-An extraordinary con-
test has started in this city, with all the
daily newspapers on one side and fourteen Z
of the largest dry goods and clothing de-
partment stores on the other No adver-
tisement of any of these firms appeared in
today's papers and formal notice has been
given that none Will appear until the
papers accede to the demands of the uler-
chants. Last week the business man
ayers of the dailies were informed that
the department store combination had ar
bitrarily decided that advertising rates
must be reduced about 20 per cent. The
firms declined to enter into discussion OF
the justice of the demand. simply stating
that they had given their ultima tum- Thas
control about so per cent of the regular
city advertising, and believed that the pa
pers must submit to their dictation. not
withstanding that advertising rates IN
Denver are lower than in any other city
of its size in the country. The newspa-
pers replied that concession to the auto
cratic order was not only impossible Tor
business reasons. but would destroy the
independence of the press. If the depart
ment stores could fix rates arbitrarily at
their pleasure they could likewise dictate
in all matters of policy, and the papers
would become mere handbills. without in
huence or self-respect The first result
of the contest is the passage Of a resolu-
ton by the Trades Assembly calling upon
the city council TO impose a heavy license
on department stores and warning all
members of labor unions against Them
The smaller merchants are taking advau
tage of the opportunity to increase their
advertising. In Denver. as i'll other cities,
depa rtment stores have been crushing the
smaller stores and the latter are exceed
ingly glad of the chance to cut into the
business of their larger rivals. The firms
which are trying the novel and dangerous
experiment of doing business without adj
vertising are; SchradsIzy Clothing COM
pany. Cordes & FeIdhauser Carpet com
pany. the Adonass Fair company, May Shoe
and Clothing company. the western
Clothing conpany. the Skinner Bros q

Mr.. J. y. Huston. formerly treasurer Of
the United States under President Harri-
son, in an interview today says that he
believes the great department stores in
all Of the cities are secretly joining forces
to concentrate their power, in the opinion
that such trust may be successfully or
ganized to control the retail business Of
the country in every branch He SAYS
'',The trust would not be a dream were it
to be made a national institution It
would control the price Of everything, in
directly the interest rate on money, poll
tics and everything else"
