causing all kinds of blood diseases,

causing all kinds OF blood diseases,
rheumatism, neuralgia and in many
cases paralysis. About t~wo-thirds
Of the men are suffering from some
one Of the diseases. Palmer Joe
worked for himself on his own claim
on Bonanza creek and made from
$50 to 500 a day for q time. He
was taken sick, like 4 good many
other miners, and was idle most of
the winter. La eighteen days he
took out $3.50 worth of gold dust.
Palmer Joe says that there are two
classes of men who are getting rich.
The spectators and gamblers NC
making fortunes and the fortunate
few who have rich placer diggings.
But the great majority makes. up
another class who are sick, dead
broke and crazy to get out OF the
country. Joe states that there are
numerous places in the Black Hills
where placer diggings are as rich as
in the majority Of claims in the
Klondike. AL Burnham, another
old Black Hills miner, came out
with Palmer Joe. There were five
other mon in the boat coming
down the Yukon river. They all
died but two before reaching the
coast.
The Chinese restaurant in the
Schnasse block was a trough house"
in every Of the word last Sun
day. Some trouble o between
the Graves family and a colored
cook employed in the house. In the
melee that followed dishes, windows
and other articles were broken,
while the almond-eved son of the
howery kingdom beat a hasty re
treat and escaped during the early
part of the attack. The cook was Of
different makeup, however, and
with the aid of a large steak knife
put the attacking party to rout.
The elder Graves received an ugly
cut on the side Of the face, while his
son Charlie was obliged to repair an
arm because of a similar wound.
The police appeared after the fracas
was over, as usual, and arrested the
cook, who was placed in the county
jail. After due elaboration it was
thought advisable to arrest the
Graves also. This was done about
MON Monday and as night
have been expected, two of the prin-
cipals had sought other parts. The
cook was given a hearing Monday
and Tuesday before Justice Worth
and was bound over to the next
term Of court under bonds of $3.50.
The hearing Of the Graves is set
for next Monday and in the mean
time the two who took French leave
are expected to return. The raves
are at liberty while waiting for
their hearing. The UNION is not
vitality interested in this particular
case, but it believes that there is
considerable room for reform on the
police force. When the officers ap-
peared on the scene of the trouble
every person who had a hand in it
should have been arrested on the
spot and locked up. 1t is a pretty
good scheme for the authorities tc
treat all such warlike parties on
the same basis. A little vigorous
police service will put an end to
such rows as disgraced the city last
Sunday.

The snoozing populace of our our
ct burg were awakened from their

ter the city fire alarm was sounded,
the blaze being located in the barn
of Rev. J. w. Barron. Theresponse
Of the fire companies was prompt,
but the barn vas too far gone to be
saved and the efforts of the fremen
were directed toward preventing a
spread of the blaze. This was done,
although some outbuildings belong
ing to Myron Willsie were badly
damaged. A buggy and harness
were consumed with the barn, along
with some furniture and other arti-
cles aggregating about$l75 in value.
This loss will fall principally on Rev.
Barron, while the loss of the barn
itself must be borne by the Congre-
gational church society, to whom
the property belonged. This loss
will reach about $3.50.

close enough to the bulletin board to read
that Schlcy had sunk Cervera's fleet

good news he let a yell out of him that
would have made the c. 4 c. whistle
blush from a sense of its own impOtcncy.
The Rcu0ites sidIed away from the Conf
stock man, and regarded him as if he
were some variety of a crazy man.
"Gou're a lot Of cold blOoded unpatriotic

The Storm.

A snow storm of great severity arriv-
ed here, Monday evening aud before
morning had blocked the streets aud
walks in town and the country roads so
that they were impossible for teams and
foot passengers were obliged to wade
through more than foot of snow on the
level and through drifts in places
shoulder high. The storm continued
through the day with varying degrees of
severity, the wind at times blowing a
gale.
The railroad managers, Monday after.
noon cancelled the train due here at Z
o'clock, Tuesday morning, also that due
to leave here Tuesday morning. The
$50 a. IN. passenger train did not at
tempt to leave here, Tuesday, neither
did train arrive or leave during that
day. Wednesday morning snow pillow
driven by two heavy engines forged its
way through from Watetville and train
service was resumed, the $50 train leav-
ing that morning at the usual hour.

all day and teams were very rare articles
upon even the principal streets in town.
The drifts on Water street in front of
some of the stores we're in some cases
six feet deep. The snow pillow for the
walks and streets began early Wednes-
day morning to get in effective work,
and Commissioner Gilman with a bril-
gade of shovelers had put in much work
Tuesday. The snow pillow for the
street was drawn by 8 heavy horses, a
magnificent team. Supt. Eaton of the
Maine Central also had an increased
force ut work shoveling snow from the
railroad tracks and buildings.
The blizzard extended all over New
England exceeding in fierceness storms
of recent years. Trains and electric cars
were stalled generally, Geographic wires
were broken and numerous wrecks are
reported long the coast with heavy loss
Of life.
Boston WAS completely shut of for y
hours from the rest of the world having
neither railroad, telephone or tele-
graphic communication. Maine rail-
roads were paralyzed, Tuesday, but re-
sumed business, Wednesday morning
Trolley lines were longer in resuming.

Death of Gov. Plaisted

Ex-Governor Harris VI. Plaisted, died
at his home in Bangor, early Monday
morning, after a long illness of Brigh s
disease.
Gen. Harris Merrill Plaisted was born
10 Jefferson, n. H., November 2, 1928.
He graduated from Watervlle college
(now Colby University in 1853 and from
