conference was held at the Offices of the
Chicago Great Western yesterday between
General Traffic Manager Stohr and General
Passenger Agent Lord, relative to the prop
osition that the road should join the Western
Passenger association. The members Of the
association are anxious that the Chicago
Great Western should join it, and the COM
pany is always invited to send representa-
tive to- it's meetings. A representative OF the
road is usually present. but never takes active
part in the associations deliberations, though
the road as a rule observes the agreements
made by the association.
The officials of the road are averse to as
sociations on principle, as they do not be-
leve that such associations are of sufficient
material benefit to the roads to warrant their
expense But the road has now become
member of the Western freight and weighing
inspection bureau and efforts are being made
to get it into the passenger combination
Chairman Caldwell has been In this city
several times to persuade the officials to
join the association. The association Is now
to be reorganized on lines to conform to the
interstate commerce law. and this is felt
to be good time for the Chicago Great
western to enter the charmed circle. The
company will not announce its decision until
after the association has adopted its reorganf-

An HONEST MAN.
One Who Recently Loses $50 Finds and 70.
turns $1,000 to Owner.

The difference between men was
shown by an incident which occurred on
Water street. Saturday afternoon. The
temptation to be dishonest in the case
was all the greater. for the man had,
only a few days previously, lost $50
out of his own pocket.
One of the well-known business men
on the street was driving his team, the
first of the week and lost his pocket
book containing 800 in bills His name
was on the book and whoever found it
could not help but know to whom it be-
longed. 1t was not returned and he
never expects to again see the money.
While out Saturday afternoon, he
found a bank book containing quite a
sum of money and number of checks.
On the book was the name II. j. Blake
He did not know the man, but by in
quiring found out that he belonged in
Readfield and after quite a search he
located Mr.. Blake. When the book was
returned Mr.. Blake said that there was
over $4,000 in it. He was very grateful
but the other man wishes the rest OF
mankind was as honest as he is

very fine Boston bull terrier. 1t is a
full-bloOded one. and it's grandparents
were both prize winners and the
parents are both registered. The pug
which has been with Miss Wright for

the arrival of the new dog, and is so
jealous that he will not go near Miss
Wright. He keeps at a distance from
her and now follows her cousin, DR..

never before go out after dark, and ii

out at night Now it will go out every
evening when the doctor comes down

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

sworn out by Mrs. VIM. II. Libby,
charging embezzlement. He was taken
before Judge Andrews, where he waived
examination, and, it is understood, was

velopment of the financial difficulties
which have beset Mr.. Whitehouse of
late, and which he states it is his de-
termination, ultimately. to adjust in
full. The facts pertaining to it are,
substantially, as follows:

were William H. Libby and Robert l..

entitled when he became 81 Mr.
Prescott attained his majority some
four years ago and has since been cor
responding with Mr.. Whitehouse in an
endeavor to secure a settlement.
Some months ago he placed the claim
in the hands of Joseph Williamson, Jr..
of this city, who finally brought suits
against the estates of the bondsmen.
Mrs. Libby has retained Messrs
Goddard and Lynch. who have for
some time been endeavoring to effect
a settlement with Mr.. Whitehouse.
Mr.. Whitehouse has for years been
one of the leading lawyers of Kenne-
bee county and has enjoyed the conf
dence of a large clientage. He states
that all sums justly due Mr.. Prescott
will soon be paid by him.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Three Frenchmen Under Surveillance Charged
With Stealing Two Harnesses.

The fire in the stable Of the property
Whitehouse and occupied by Dennis
Burke, was the cause of a hearing in
the police court, Saturday morning.
1t was known at the time that the
fire and the one a few weeks previous
which destroyed the barn were Of in
cendiary origin, and, Friday morning.
Marshal Morse procured warrant and
started for Togus to look for James
Hughes. He was out all day and did
not succeed in locating his man until
late in the afternoon.
He brought him to the city and lodg-
ed him in the police station. AS soon
as Hughes was locked up Marshal
Morse drove back and summoned 10
witnesses to appear at the trial, Sat
urday morning.
Hughes was arraigned in court, Sat
urday morning, and plead not guilty.
The evidence against him was small.
being all circumstantial. He however
was bound over and will answer to the
grand jury.
The story was shown in court is that
both days of the fires Hughes was alb
sent from camp without leave. He was
said to have been seen in the vicinity
of the fires during the afternoon of
both days.
He admits being near there and on
the night of the last fire says that he
was sleeping along side of the road
and was awakened by the crowd run
ming past him and shouting fire. He
was within 40 rods of the fire and was
one of the first to be there after the
alarm was given.
One of the circumstances which gives
weight to the thought that he may be
implicated is that he several times told
the people who were fighting the fire
to let it burn if it wanted to. No OBJ

where he worked. He will be tried on
this warrant, today. with Will Grier
and another Frenchman named
Daniels.
The evidence is that Mr.. Cony has a
room where harnesses are put as soon
as unfit for active use on the best

taken from these to repair harness
and the old harnesses are sold when
ever possible. A man wanted a couple
