Foraker Voices the Belief That II
Mas No Accident.
80 : : : : : : ssssss,

Washington. February 22--The impress
Ssion that the destruction OF the Maine wal
educ to design seems TO be gaining ground
sthough senators and congressman will moi
ssfor the present speak for publication.
9 In private conversation. however. the
scpinion is freely expressed that the 70
scalled accident was the result Of a deeply
slaid plan. Senator Foraker of Ohio. who
scan not be classcd IA a lingo" In any
ssense OF the word. discloses his American
sism In the interview which follows. As
esenator Foraker up to the present time
shas refused to give expression to his views,
This statement OF the case at this time Is
enot without interest or Significance. since
sit reveals how really conservative men are
beginning to look at the catastrophe In the
slight OF the information. meagor as 1t Is.
shat has up TO the present time reached
sshere. Senator Foraker said:
No one here. so far as l am aware,
yet knows certainty what was the cause
E Of tho disaster. The latest news from
Havana would seem to indicate. how
5 ever. that the Maine WIS blown up By
: mine that was exploded under her. 1t
9 has been shown that she was anchored
. at the place assigned her BY the harbor
8 master, When a warship goes into a
: friendly harbor on friendly mission
. she has right TO assume that she will
; not be stationed In n place OF danger,
but II she IL destroyed In consequence
those who put her there must answer
y for the consequences. Ii Is like a man
3 setting a spring gun or trap in his
front yard. and then inviting in his
. neighbors to visit him and stroll
; through his grounds. II he does not
warn them OF the danger, and they get
) injured or killed he Us responsible both
, clviily in damages and criminaliy.
II the Spanish officials put our ship
. over torpedo mine and left her there
? without notice, they must answer for
. the consequences, no matter whether
, the government officials or malicious
: persons exploded the milne. II, there-
! fore 1t should be established that the
, Maine was blown up, our government
could not maintain her honor and self
! respect except by demanding immediate
) PREPARATION for ship, men aud the Ma
tional afiront. II Spain should refuse or
3 hesitate war would have to follow.
, Anything less would be pusilianimons,
In the course OF further conversation.
sthc senator said there is n restless feeling
hin the senate, and should the investigation
sin progress show that the Maine was de-
sstrosed by the explosion OF mine there
swould be few IL any members OF the upper
I house who would vote against an immediate
sdeclaration of war.

Men and women doctor their troubles SO
often without benefit, that they get discour-
aged and skeptcal. In most such cases Sc
rious mistakes are made in doctoring and In
not knowing what our trouble Is or what
makes us sick. The unmistakablc evidences
of kidney trouble are pain or dun ache In
the back, too frequent desire to pass water.

Blue uniforms were thick on the
grounds Thursday. The First Maine
boys had got home.
The Norway Cadet Band, +. p. Knapp
leader, furnished fine music between
heats Wednesday and Thursday after
moons.
The society has made another dollar
this year. and there Is no doubt the
trustees will make judicious use of IL In
still further improving the conditions of
future fairs.
G. NJ. Hatch OF Aliens Mills OBLIGATED
as starting Judge. Mr.. Hatch has a good
voice and uses II well, and what's OF
more importance, he shows a DISPOSE
ton to use the drivers and the audience
with impartiality and to allow no "mon-
keying."
Ii you have dog-or two dogs
working tread power, IL isn't good
plan to put that feature In corner be-
side q narrow passage way. People will
gather around the dogs, and stand and
block the path, so that il IL almost i'm
possible to force passage through.
The receipts OF the fair, for the three
principal items Of income, are furnished
the d. mocrat by Treasurer King, and
are as follows:

THE ORANGES.

Norway Grange departed from Its
usual custom this year and made no ex-
hibit. The middle space Of the upper
hall was nevertheless well filed, the
three competing oranges being Paris,
Hebron and Frederick Robe.
Paris Grange occupied the space on
the west side reserved for It for several
wears, and large amount Of work had
been put into the arrangement Of the
display, some Of the committee having
been at work for several days before the
opening Of the fair. The top and sides
were draped with red, white and blue
bunting, and the exhibits comprised
about everything that 10 produced on
the farm, In The garden and The house.
