NADEAu SENTENCED.
He Gets Four Months in Jail and Is Fined
One Dollar.

George Naaeau. the so.callsd outlaw
who fred on MoNalIy and wounded him,
and who was brought before Judge Webb
several months ago. and sentence sus-
pended until yesterday. was brought
before the judge yesterday for sentence.
As Nadeau had SURRENDERED himself and
came to Portland without opposition, he
was allowed to return to Aroostook and
finish his work. A long petition
of prominent citizens of that section of
the state had been presented in favor of
Nadeau, saying that he was good citizen
and that this trouble was the only one in
which he had been mixed up. Even the
county attorney Of Aroostook came up to
say good word for Nadeau.
The petitioners thought this man
under the circumstances should hav Q
sentence suspended, but the Judge said
that the very facts oitsd in the petition
showed that Nadeau should have kept his
temper, and that il would be Esetting a
bad precedent to suspend sentence.
Nadeau had pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment last August, so the jud &c inflicted
the penalty of four months imprison-
1nent in Portland jail and fine OF ons
dollar.
Bishop Heaiy Appeared tin court with
Nadeau and Mayor Moulton Of Desring

WHAT Doe. Thin Meanf

A perusal Of the history of railway trans
actions during the past four years shows
us that this period has been the most dis
astrous, from financial standpoint, of any
other OF the present decade. Under the
circumstances II would almost seem as
though the further development or inn
provement of railway facilities must cease.
Yet, strange 20 say, many notable instances
prove that the contrary is true. In numer-
Gus instances hrst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business depres.
sion, have made very decided advances, not
only in the Improvement OF the material
condition OF the roadway itself, but like
wise the equipment and service. And the
public has been a great gamer by the pub.
lie spirtedness of the roads.
One OF the most notable cases OF rail-
way development is the Nickel Plate Road,
which seems TO have forged right ahead
with its improvements and has exhibited
an unrelenting determination 60 give the
public the best possible facilities, in spite
OF the hard times. And how well this cor.
poration has succeeded in its laudable eff
forts the excellent condition of its system
bears ample evidence. Yet the secret of
this success is obvious. The people have
responded very generously 60 a generous
effort 10 give them the worth of their
money. That is all. The peoples money
has enabled the road TO better its facilities
in every respect thus the work has been
Of a mutual and reciprocal character. The
liberal patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return 60 the people
in the shape of improved facilities for
travel, yet az tho same time at lower rates.
And now, il seems, the Nickel Plate Road
is still engaged in further efforts TO serve
the people well. IL has a high-class roadway
TO begin with; n most excellent equipment
10 end with, and safe. fast and reliable
service for the deectation of its patrons.
All m all, i offers most attractive menu to
travellers bound east or west in the shape
Of "a Peerless Trio Of Fast Express Trains"
