AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Vacation. Wite's Away.

No one TO kiss when a man goes home
No one to kiss when he leaves
No one to hold in his hungry arms.
And none to console when he grieves;
And only a house all Uttered up.
And only fire and light.
While his footballs ring through the
empty rooms
That are chill with the air of night
And man knows how thin the veil
'TwiXt him and the savage life
And he knows that the wall that sepa-
rates
Is the love of a gentle wife;
For his dainty home with its pictured
walls.
With its tapestries, rugs and lace.
Is no more TO him when his loved ones
gone
Than the heathen's abiding place.
No one to kiss when a man goes home,
No one to kiss when he leaves.
No one to hold in his hungry arms
Or to say Never mind when he
grieVes.
But only house all Uttered up.
And only a fire and a light
While his footballs ring through the
empty rooms
That are weird with ghoulish night.

STATE HOUSE. Oh

No Danger Of Catching Diphtheria in Iackman
Says Secretary Young.

In the report of DR.. b. l.. Bryant of
Bangor, who was at Jackman four
days helping the local health officer in
the management of the outbreak Of
diphtheria near that town. he states
that the disease was evidently brought
from Canada by relative Of one Of
the affected French families. He came
to this family from place where there
were persons sick with diphtheria and
stayed over night. A few days after,
one of the children died. No physician
was called in and a public funeral was
held in the church. One or two fami-
lies came over from another French
settlement to help lay out the child,
and short time afterward one Of the
children in one of these families came
down and others followed. The doctor
was called in. and thus the presence of
diphthefia was discovered. Though
the town did not at first take precau-
tionary measures as soon as was desir-
able, DR.. Henderson was finally ap-
pointed health officer and went to
work. DIR. Bryant reports that DR..
Henderson has shown himself very
efficient in the work OF the four cases
which terminated fatally no physician
was called. OF he was called too late to
do anything. None Of these four re-
ceived antitoXin. OF the ten other
cases, all but one had ,ntitoxfn. Three
cases of which they had no hope re-
ceived antltoXin in large doses and
were found better tre next day and
will get well. The cases are all under
efficient quarantine, and disnfection
with formaldehyde and otherwise has
been carried out Two men broke
quarantine. One left town, and the
other paid costs amounting to S1100
After that there was little or no troub-
le. y guard is placed SO that no one can
so from these houses into the village,
and the secretary of the State board
of health says that the scare about
getting the disease in the village or
while passing through the town is
sheer nonsense
The people of the town have been
afraid that the scare would frighten
away the sportsmen from that region,
but this statement from the secretary.
will show that there is no danger, and
nothing to be feared more than at any
other place.

The Thirteenth Annual Report Of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion for the year 1897 has just been
issued. 1t Is a volume of something
over 200 pages. and in addition to the
reprint of the bulletins issued during
the year. it contains. among others,
papers on the following topics
An article on testing dairy products
by the Babcock test. which is a thor
ough review of that method for de-
termining the value Of dairy products
i will be found particularly valuable
to creamery men who are using this
test. The paper upon ''Ornamenting
Home Grounds" will be helpful to
those who desire to make the farm
home more attractive. The record OF
the study of the tuberculous herd OF
ten cows, kept by the station for two
years, is an important contribution Il
the knowledge of this disease. The
notes on the insects and the plants of
the year by the cntomOlogist and the
botanst will prove of interest to many
readers.
The other papers of the report are
somewhat technical and include ar
ticles on the acquisition of Atmos-
pheric Nitrogen, description of the
poultry plant, and the herd records for
the year.
The station is a department of the
University Of Maine. The following
from the Announcement in the re-
port gives an idea of the scope of the
work of the station and what it aims
to do.
Every citizen of Maine concerned in
| agriculture, has the right to apply to
! the station for any assistance that
comes within its province. 1t is the
| wish of the trustees and station coun-
| Gil that the station he as widely useful
| as its resources will permit
In addition to its work of nveSHga-
ton. the station is prepared to make
chemical analyses Of fertilizers. feeding
stuffs dairy products and other agri-
| cultural materials; to test seeds and
| creamery glassware: to identify
grasses, weeds. injurious fungi and in
| sects, etc. and to give information on
| agricultural matters of interest and
advantage to the citizens of the State.
"All work proper to the experiment
| station and of public benefit will be
done without charge. Work for the
| private use of individuals is charged
| for at the actual cost to the station.
| The station offers to do this work only
as matter of accommodation. Under
no condition will the station undertake
analyses the results of which cannot
be published, If they prove of general
| interest"

RANDsBURa's PROSPECTS
A Very Satisfactory Meeting Will
the Kern County Supervisors

RANDSBURG, March 5.-If any doubt
ever existed as to the future of Rands-
burg as town, 1t was dispelled today by
the promises held out to the board of su-
pervisors of Kern county at the meeting
accorded its members at the Orpheus the
eater by the citizens of Randsburg and
johannesburg. The meeting was called
for the purpose of discussing the water
question and to put the supervisors right
regarding the right of way through Rands-
burg and Johannesburg asked of them by
the two local water companies, action on
which was postponed by the board at the
last months meeting at Bakersfield. The
meeting this afternoon was addressed by
members of both the citizens committee
and the supervisors, after which H. d.
Colson, representing the Squaw Springs
Water company. and Frank s. Qua of the
Johannesburg Water company made brief
and pointed talks. The former said that
work had already been begun on his COM
pany's reservoir and pipe line, and that
within sixty days water would be delivered
In Randsburg for fire, milling and domes-
tic purposes. He said. also, that his COM
pany would take the pipe off the hands of
the citizens committee which had been
purchased by 1t, and would pay for the
trenching that had already been done in
the streets.
Mr.. Qua said work would begin on the
line between Johannesburg and Rands-
burg in the next two or three days. and
that within ten days he would guarantee
that water would be flowing in the streets
of Randsburg.
The statements of both gentlemen were
received with applause. and as both rep
resent responsible companies. there is nc
question but that the work they outlined
will be Immediately carried into effect

driver who was alone.
