village, committed suicide by hanging
himself in his sleeping room, early in the
morning, Sunday. March 26,
Mr.. Palmer had been in feeble health
for several years and for the past three
weeks had been failing very fast, his dis
ease affecting the brain and leading him
to dwell on the idea of suicide. Although
closely watched by his son and attend
ants, he had already made three attempts
which We're discovered and frustra ted.
The fourth. which he had evidently care
fully premeditated, was successful al
though the body was warm when found.
Mr.. Palmer's wife has been dead many
years. daughter. Mrs. Sophia Moulton
of this village, and a son, John Il. Palmer
of the Maine Central Railroad, who lives
with his father. also a stepdaughter, Mrs.

Suicide al North Wayne at Monmouth
--Norridgewock Notes.

SkoWhegan, Me-, March 21.--(SpeciaD.
A fire caused by cleaning out the
boiler in the building in which the
Hotel Coburn is located. caused $4,000
loss, this afternoon.
Shortly after O'Clock. the workmen
were at work in the basement of the
building cleaning out the boiler flues.
Near the boiler We're lot of egg
cases. straw and rubbish and while
the workmen were at work sheet of
flame flashed out from the boiler. set
ting fire to the rubbish. An attempt
was made to eXtinguish the fire but on
account of the intiammable materials
and dense smoke the men We're driven
back.
1t was seen that it would be neces-
sary to call the department which ar
rived i'll very quick time and began
work on the fire. BY the time the de-
partment arrived the building was fill
ed With smoke and there was every in
dication that the whole set of build
ings would be destroyed. The fire.
which started in the grocery store of
Morrel & Whiting, seemed to be work
ing its way up through the building
into the hotel as the smoke was pour
ing in volumes from the windows IN
the top story of the hotel, located in
the upper part Of the building.
The tiremen set to work and it was
found that the damage by fire was not
as great as was at first expected as the
fire was wholly in the first story and
only the smoke was working its way
into the top part of the building. As
soon as the firemen had located the
fire then attention was directed to
Fconfining the fire in the basement. So
L$ucceSsful were the firemen that they
bon had it under control.
4 In confining the fire to the basement
the firemen found it necessary to
soak a part of the building with wa
ter. The greatest damage by water
was done to the stock of grocery goods
in the store of Morrell & Whiting. as
they were well wet down and nearly
ruined The damage is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000. The loss is
fully covered by insurance.
The damage to Hotel Coburn was
wholly by smoke, which worked it's
way from the store beneath. there be-
ing hardly Il room in the house that
was not filled. 1t is estimated that the
damage from smoke and water viii
amount 10 $1,000. The hotel which was
| owned by Bob Iiaines, is fully in
sured.

HANDY WITH A SHOTGUN.
90 They Thought Him, Though It Wal

90 They Thought Him, Though It Was
the First Time He Had Ever Fired One.
'T've often wondered" said a jolly
looking man, "if anybody ever got
the credit of being good shot as
easily as I did. was visiting at a
house in the country, and one day the
host says: Lets 60 out and try the
shooting There were two or three
other guests there besides myself.
The host led the way into the hall,
where there were standing three or
four shotguns. He handed a gun to
me, though really I didn't want it,
supplied one or two others of the
guests, who did shoot, with guns, and
took the remaining gun himself, and
we started out.
"It was delightful tramp, and
novel experience for me, going gun.
ming, for ! had never fred q shotgun
in my life. enjoyed it all very
much, but sort of strolled along in
the rear, little behind the rest, to
give the others chance at the game,
with the hope that would not be
called upon to shoot. I thought I
should only make a ridiculous ex-
hibition of myself; but, as it hap.
pened, I fred the only shot fred that
day, and it was bullseye.
Right in the centre OF field that
we were crossing there was big dead
tree, sixty or seventy feet high, and
on the topmost branch of it sat
solitary pigeon. The quick-eyed host,
keen sportsman himself, turning
around to see If were coming all
right-he was walking just ahead with
the others-spied that pigeon.
There's chance for you, he said
to1 me, enthusiastically, as he looked
up at the bird, and I couldnt do any
less than make bluff at it. Iswung
the old shotgun up and fred, all in
one movement, and dropped the bird
just as neat as you please. The host
was delighted; it would have been
good fair shot for anybody to make,
and he was especially pleased that Ii
should have been made by one Of his
guests. The rest had turned in time
to see the pigeon fall. I had pro-
tested that was no shot and they all
thought now that I was far too
modest. And SO by that single chance
shot got the reputation, at least for
the moment, of being very handy with
a shotgun. New York Sun.
