JURY TOO colo TO DISAGREE.
steaEa IN Che Room Was Turned OF in
Zero Weather.

The town OF Bucksport, Me, made IA
nous by the play old Jed Prouty,"
figures in an episode IN real life that is
about as interesting as some Of the
scenes of the drama above mentioned.
The incident has to do with the adven-
ture of jury of u men. After the
case had been given to the jury late on
Saturday and they hau been unable TO
agree on verdict after three hours, the
steam was turned off and even lights
were turned of and they were left to
the mercies of zero weather. Later they
were told that unless they came to an
agreement at once they would be locked
in the room until Monday morning.
The case was an action brought to
determine a pauper settlement. The
towns of Brooklyn and Blue Hill were
chiefly interested, but the town of
Bucksport took the plaintiffs position
through an agreement arising from
small interest which Bucksport had OBJ
tanned through aid rendered to some
members of the family in question. The
case was an old one and had been in
the courts before. There was a great
deal of interest in it all over the county
from the fact that at one time and an
other the members of this particular
family had lived in and received aid
from great many different towns. So
closely were the lines drawn that it was
difficult to secure jury to try the case
and special venire had to be issued.
The case went to the jury Saturday
afternoon about six o'clock. For some
reason, after three hours, the steam was
turned off and the room was allowed to
become so cold that it was necessary
for the jurymen to put on their over
coats and walk about in order to keep
frofn being chilled. For part of the
time, too, the lights were turned out.
thus adding to the general discomforts
of the situation.
Some time Sunday morning the off
Ger in charge of the jury. Sheriff
Hooper, of Ellsworth. according to the
statements of some of the iurymen, en-
tered the juryroom and informed the
members of the jury that unless they
should agree upon verdict at once
they would be kept where they were I'M
til nine o'clock Monday morning. Up
to that time, it is said, the vote had
stood eleven to one in favor of the de-
PENDANT town, and there had been APP
parently no indication of an agree
ment. At nine o'clock Sunday morn
ing, however. a sealed verdict was rem
dered, which. read in court Monday
morning, gave the decision to the de-
PENDANT
When the jurymen were discharged
there were loud complaints and threats
of vengeance against the sheriff. This
official tries to excuse the matter on
the ground that the ianitor went home
without first consulting the sheriff. An
appeal has been taken on the ground
that the sheriff acted in excess of his
authority when he tried to intimidate
the jurors by freezing them out.-Chi-

THE PRICE OF SHOES.
1t Is Low Compared with the Cost of
Producing Them.

Producing Them.
The problem we find the most diff
cult to wrestle with is: What can be
the reason why shoes are so low COM
pared with the cost of producing them,
and why does not leather bring enough
to yield any profit on the labor of man
ufacturing it, at the lowest rates at
which hides can be bought? All this
would be readily comprehensive if it
were true that the stocks of shoes were
excessive, but the weight of evidence
supports the proposition that such is
not the case. That there will be shoes
enough to accommodate the demand
may be taken for granted. There are
extensive factories in which to make
them and ample material to make them
of. But that there will be so many more
than enoughas to render the production
of them as unremunerative as it is now
for any great length of time, we consid-
er highly improbable. We entertain the
belief that the surplus holdings of
vendors and consumers are essentially
reduced, that they have been using up
their reserves to such an extent that
they will require additional supplies
in sufficient quantities to establish val
ues which will admit of satisfactory
profits TO producers.
Our conviction in this respect is
strengthened by the undisputed fact
that dealers are almost all asking that
the shoes they have bought or are buy
ing should be dispatched to them with
the least possible delay. The natural
inference is that they withheld their
orders as long as they could, and longer
than they have been accustomed to;
that they are accordingly running
short, and find it necessary to replen-
ish quickly. This applies, of course,
chiefly to shoes that are worn by the
masses and sold at low figures, but of
these there are vast quantities con-
sumed, and when the stocks of them in
second and third hands fall below the
average a great many are needed to
make up the deficiency. especially at
time of the year when the want of shoes
is most pressing. OF the more expensive
kinds, of mich fewer are worn. prices
are less, and perhaps not at all made
quate. But we have the idea that the
rates alike of the low and the high
priced will be equally adjusted present
~. TO the advantages equally of sellers
and buyers.-Shoe and Leather Re

Wisconsin democrats this year have
two issues if we may dignity their
contentious by that name. The high
sounding flights Of Jim O'Connor, the
labored efforts Of both city and country
editor. and the street talk OF the curb
stone politician all revolve around two
centers-the muley COW and the
doodle book. The principles and poll
icies Of the republican party are I'M
challenged. The people of the state
are asked to forget the grand work
and history of the republican party in
both state and nation and turn to the
democrats with their blighting free
trade doctrine, their blasting free
silver heresy, their unpatriotic whin-
ings about the conduct of the war.
their roster jobbery, and Juggling
with the state funds-and for what
reason? All because of muley COW
and a doodle book III what they
claim about the muley COW and the
doodle book were true (Which 1t isn't)
it would not furnish any proper ques-
ton for an issue between parties.
Take them at their worst, whether
blown up by republican faetional gas
or democratic wind they are only
tri1ing mistakes Dubbl II error

Gratis are not divine. Has anyone lost
a dollar because of the 'sdoodle book
and the .'muley cow?'' No. But
more than that, when our conscien-
tious governor had his attention called
to the abuses which these terms rep
resent, he promptly and effectively
put a stop to them. For this, for his
courage in correcting mistakes when
ever found, for being a reform govern
or that reforms, his opponents ask his
defeat. Three out of five who howl
"doodle book" and "muley COW" can't
give you any intelligent idea of what
these terms mean; if they could they
would think more and say less. A
party that has no better steed than a

ought to be hooted off the track.
