In the list OF names of deceased SOL
diers placed under the Soldiers monu-
ment erected here in 1876 are those OF
Chas. Bowen, j. w. Bowen and
Charles Clark. and I can find no one
who has any knowledge Of these three
menu lit, would seem as if they must
have, been in service and have, died, for
an intelligent committee prepared this
list of names. one of whom was Cen
eral Francis Z. Heath; but l cannot
find the names Of either of these men
on the quota of Waterviile or in the
adjutant,s generals report. Does any
one know who they are? -,tsj ~
l am preparing list of deceased SOL
diers and a list of every soldier living
or dead who enlisted from Waterville.
l should be very glad indeed to have
the assistance of any one to enable me
to, perfect this SO far as these men are
concerned. If dead, they deserve to be
remembered. They are not buried in
Pine Grove cemetery nor in any ceme-
terry in Oakland. Who were they and
in what unknown grave do they lie?

BURGLARY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
The Party Is Very Careless and identity is
Soon Discovered.

Some person or persons entered Fuller's
grocery store, Wednesday night. by a
rear window and took few small ar
ticles. The window through which they
made the entrance was covered by a
wire screening which was cut in a care
full manner and the glass of the window
pushed in. Two stubs of cigars which
they had smoked while in the store, were
found on the floor. also a large number
Of matches which they had scattered
about. A note was left stating what had
been stolen, peculiarly enough. and the
loss was very small. 1t is thought that
the act was the work of boys who were
familiar with the store and the surround
ingS for the large dog. which is always
kept in the store nights, lis not apprecia-
tive Of strangers and would probably
have caused some disturbance if he had
not known the offenders.
The perpetrator of the burglary in Full
ler's store has been discovered, and as
intimated, it was a person quite familiar
with the store. The city marshars idea
was to prosecute to the full extent of the
law, but certain influences were brought
to bear in the persons behalf and 1t Is
probab BILE that there will be no criminal
prosecution.

A HaiiowelI Nurse.

*
Hallowell has certainly contributed, her
share of patriotism during, the late war;
she has also sent her full number of able
bodied sons to fight for their country,
and now We have the privilege, yes, the
honor. of being one Of the first cities of
the State to furnish a professional nurse,
who gratutously volunteers, heE, services,
to attend the suffering soldiers at Camp
Powers. Hnlso
Miss Sallie NJ Clearwater. of whom we
speak, is a professional nurse. having
graduated from the Boston Homeopathic
hospital seven years ago.
When the troops first left for Cuba,
Miss Clearwater was very anxious to go
as nurse. in connection with the Red
Cross Society, but FINALLY was dissuaded
from so doing.
When Adjutant General Richards made
known the urgent need of nurses for the
sick soldiers of Maine. she at once tele-
phoned him that she wished to tender. her
services. free of charge. for any reason
able time. and as might be expected her
offer was accepted. with that of another
nurse.
Miss Clearwater told the Journal man
that the first night at the hospital was
a very hard one, with appliances and
material to work with somewhat differ
ent from what she was accustomed to,
but she thought that by another day
things would be in a better condition for
doing good work.
They have about a score of patients,
and she says the experience is one of the
most valuable and interesting of her pro-
fessional life.

What is supposed to be some kind OF
an Indian implement was found In
Winslow. yesterday, while the work.
men were clearing up the cemetery.
The implement is Of stone of an elipti-
cal shape. measuring 6 by inches.
The stone is of a flinty nature and is OF
kind not found in this locality. What
are apparently the cutting edges are
worn smooth as though the implement
had been much used. Two seams in
the rock running transversly form a
handle for the user. What the imple-
ment Is no one seems to know, al
though it is of the opinion of some that
it is kind of gouge used by the In
dams and brought from some other
locality where stone similar to that
from which the implement is formed,
to Winslow, where it was found. The
implement is only one of several SINH
lar pieces found by Mr.. Nudd.

WANT LONGER HOURS.
Movement Started to Keep the Postohice
Open Until the Pullman.

movement has been started among
the storekeepers to have the post
office open until 10 O'Clock in the eve
ming in order that the business men
may have a chance to mail their let
tiers to go West on the Pullman. AT
the present time the postoffice closes a,
o'clock so that those wishing their
mail to go late in the evening are
obliged to carry it either to the station
or to the hotels where it is then car
ried to the station.
AS the result of this method there is
no end to the trouble for the hotel
keepers, as the boxes provided for the
use of the guests of the house, become
public convenience and a source OF
annoyance to the hotel keepers. The
annoyance comes from the fact tina,
the boys who carry the mail from the
hotels to the station have an unusual
load to carry, since the hotels send of
good part of the mail from oil the
citizens, instead of small parcel as
would be the case were the guests ot
the house the only patrons.
AS result of the present system the
mail box at the station when the Pull
man arrives, is almost full of mater
SO much so that the railway postal
clerks have all that they can attend
to distributing the mail taken from the
Waterville box alone. Often it hap
pens that the train has reached Au.
gusta before the last bit Of mail taken
from the Waterville station box, is dis
tributed.
The present method. besides being
the source Of annoyance to the railway
postal clerks, is great Inconvenience
to the business men on the street from
the fact that they are obliged to either
carry the letters that they wish to be
sent at once, to the sation themselves
or to carry the mail to the hotels.
Another thing those who do not 20 to
the mail before s O'clock in the evening
are unable to get their mail until the
following day. By the proposed method
the business men will be able to get
their mail at any time before 10 O'Clock
in the evening.
An agitation to start a petition to be
presented to the postmaster is being
made among the people in the city.
According to the present ARRANGEMENT
1t rests with the postmaster whether or
not the petition will be granted.
One OF the clerks in the postoff1ce in
speaking Of the matter, yesterday
said that if such an arrangement as is
advocated were made it would nOt..i,a
neffsfary for overt two clerks to stay. in
the ONCE to do up the mail and place it
IN such a condition that the trouble
caused the railway clerks by the pres
ent methods would he done away with.
