II so strong against him that he may
find greater diniculty in getting clear
than he did in the former prosecu-
tion. Herrison was ccuss by Mrs.
Elizabeth Ray OF Welkerville of rob

PENDANT.
The story of the robbery was told by
Mrs. Ray. the prosecuting witness h
said that on the afternoon of the 18th
she wanted a half pint of brandy n
went into a saloon on South Main

planned to the police and Herrison was
arrested.
Night Jailer Sol Levy detailed a con-
versation he had with Herrison in the
city Jail the night Of his arrest. when
Herrison voluntarily offered to show
him where the watch was. Jailer Levy
could not leave. but when Sergeant

the place where he said the watch was
hidden. Officer Leyden struck a match
and in a dark corner of the closet
found the watch wrapped up in a piece
OF paper. Continuing officer Leyden
said Herrison made a cheap play at in
nocence by claiming at that time that
he had nothing to do with stealing the
watch. and accounted for his knowl-
edge of it's whereabouts by claiming he
a been sitting in the saloon when a
man passed through and e to the
closet. He did not know the watch was
there, but suspected h fellow had
gone there to hide II.
Herrison made no attempt at a de-
Tense aside from calling Jailer Levy to
prove Mrs. Ray was drunk on the night
after the robbery and was held at the
Jail to sober up.
Judge Laurandeau announced his de-
cision at the conclusion of the hearing,
binding the defendant over for trial
and fixing his bail at $1,000. which he
was unable to furnish and once more
he occupies a cell in the county Jail.

Camp Powers.

The first regiment has passed through
the hands of examining surgeons. Of
an aggregate of 500 examined 253 were
rejected.
Reflections of comrades has caused
great discomfort among many of those
who passed, the latter declaring now
that they will not enlist. 1t is expected,
however, that this feeling will die down,
but greatly exaggerated rumors of dis
affection are.ahoat. Some say that the
appointment of Capt Morton, U. 5. A
is causing great friction but the officers
deny this and several, including Col.
Kendall, express qualification.
The resignation of Lieut.. Col. Lee of
the second regiment, caused a decided
stir and talk of a shakeup is rife. Ma
ior F. A. Robinson of Bangor, is said by
his friends to be the winning candidate.
Many company commanders have gone
home to recruit to fill their companies.
Meanwhile there will be lull at camp.
Many ask how long the troops will be
kept here, and more especially those
members of the I'd, who are not needed.
L is not known just how long, but it
certainly won't be longer than possible,
for it is costing the State about $1,000
for each day they are in State service.
The presence of the Guard in Augusta
is great thing for the grocery and meat
men, as all the provisions are bought
there, and it takes many pounds of meat
and other staple articles, to feed 1900
men. Speaking about the rations, Gov
ernor Powers doesn't approve of the
idea of putting the men on United
states army rations of salt meat and
hard tack, as soon as they shall have
been mustered into service. Governor
Powers says there is time enough for
army rations when they have got a little
more hardened to their work.

The Maine Festival concert given by

Depew on The War.

Chauncey Nj. Depew of New York
spoke recently in Detroit and in regard
to the present war said:
1--WE do not now hear so many jingoes
complaining about the apparent lack Of
vigor on the part of President Mckinley
in dealing with Spain. The President
is not more determined now than he was
from the beginning. He exercised the
true judgment of which he is capable
and deliberated well before each STEP
that has led us to the present war
This is the only struggle the world has
ever seen where the motive to interfere
has been in behalf of poor, down trod-
den people.
I'VE do not 90 into this war that we
may acquire territory, and 1t is not to
avenge the loss of the Maine, but we
have said to Spain that she must furl her
flag in the western hemisphere that she
must withdraw her land and naval forces
from Cuba. She has refused TO do that
and we have to enforce our demand
Any Senator, Congressman. or Repre-
sentative who would, because of political
differences or any other reason, attempt
to retard action or legislation to appro-
pirate to the President the necessary
funds at this time is not an American.
He is an ally of Spain. Mr.. Mckinley
is a true American He may be trusted
to bring us out of the conflict with honor
and credit alike to himself and the nation
The ingoes will all be satisfied when
peace comes 10 us again

the most important improvements to be
made for the especial benefit Of the Fair
