This department asked for but one
act to be passed at the past session of
abe Legislature. and one resolve, re-
marked Secretary a. G. Young of the
'Sfate board of health. Thursday.
.ssss The resolve was that appropriatinS
NE sum of $4,000 as an emergency fund
for use in case of serious outbreak OF
any contagious disease in the State. 1t
is to be paid out upon the recommen-
dation of this board and upon the con-
sent of the Governor and Council.
I'VE are hoping that we will not need
to avail ourselves of this fund but. of
course. no one can tell when 1t Will
have to be used. With the fund at our
disposal ii will place us in position to
do much more effective work in stamp
ing out disease than formerly. In the
case of the Madawaska outbreak or
diphtheria in the fall of 1897, we had to
draw from our regular appropriation
which is made merely for the use in
conducting the department. This
made us short of money for purposes
that were sorely needed, but we plainly
saw our duty.
with that emergency fund at our
disposal. we can do good. but l hope
will not have to be disturb it.
THE act that was enacted which re-
lates to us is chapter SO. entitled an act
for the prevention of certain kinds of
nuisances. 1t is one we thought was
needed. Here it is:
whoever personally or through the
agency of another leaves or deposits
the carcass of a dead horse, cow. sheep,
hog, or of any other of the larger do
nestle animals in any place where II
NAV cause nuisance shall. upon re-
cciying notice to that effect from the
| local board of health. promptly remove,
bury. or otherwise dispose of the re-
mains. and if he fails to do so within
such time as may be prescribed by the
| local board of health. and in such man
ner as may be satisfactory to such
hoard of health. shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall be punished by
a fine of not less than five nor more
than twenty-five dollars, or by imprls-
onment not exceeding one month.

STATE HOUSE.
Art and Pedigree Are the Fads Of L.
braries.
The Legislation in tho Interest Of the States
Health.

Art and pedigree are the two fads
in the libraries of the present day,
remarked State Librarian Carver,
Thursday There is a general clamof
by the people for books containing the
genealogy of their family or of some
family in which they are interested.
Men pass weeks of their time here In
this library in studying over the books
in that line, which we have mere.
MANY of these men are searching FOR
the data to use in other genealogles.
The Maine State library has not as
vet adopted any form of art outside
the collection of few Oil and crayon
paintings of the past governors. Many
libraries however, are devoting as
much time to the study of art and in
the collection of choice pictures OF all
sorts as to their book department.
There is in existence an art exchange
that is similar to the traveilng library
idea adopted by the last Leglsia-
t,,re for this State. The Bowdoin Col
lege library belongs to this art eX-
change. The plan of such an exchange
is to have as many works of art on ex-
hibition as possible and to change often
enough to keep the patrons interested
in them.
one installment will be oil paintings
and these will be kept for perhaps one
month. These will be shipped to an
other member of the exchange and in
turn some other will send along col
lection of drawings. Thus all the lead
ing works of art are at the service of
those who are interested in them
while others who previous to this had
been negligent to such matters, are
finding an interest springing up within
themselves.
Librarian Carver says the Old Or
chard free public library invite him to
call and see them some day, and in
spect the paintings that are adjoining
their walls.

RLADY TO RATIFY.
The Democrats In the Senate Wants
the Peace Document Amended.

Washington, D, c., Jan. "a. -
Senator Jones of Arkansas, in an
interview today on the subject of
the peace treaty, is quoted as say
ing:
The fate of the treaty depeads
entirely upon those who claim to be
It's friends in the Senate. The Dem
ocrats stand ready to ratify it if it
Is amended to say exactly what it
means; or, rather, what its advo-
Gates claim it means. Those of US
who believe the treaty should be
ratified are ready and willing to act
promptly upon it whenever it is
modified in this particular. The
responsibility for the delay rests
With the other side.
IF there should be no action on
the treaty. 1t will not by any means
Indicate there will be a renewal of
hostiiitles, Spain cannot prosecute
another war; the United States has
no purpose in doing so any further.
The ratification of the treaty of
peace is a mere formahty, There is
nothing else to fight about, and
there will be no more fighting, no
matter what may happen in the
treaty"

STILL NO TIDlNGS,
Search for Robertson Still
Continues.


the missing editor of the Fairland
Bee, has continued all week with
undated interest. There is little
doubt in the minds of any that he
has met foul play, and the general
belief is that he has been murder
ed and the body concealed. Two
or three parties are suspected of
the murder and are under surveil.
ance. A buggy was tracked through
the woods near "Carey's Gap"
and red paint found on tie under
brush. The two tie ropes that
were in the buggy are missing, but
otherwise nothing had been dis
turbed. The following account
appears in yesterdays Fairland
Bee:
Mr.. Ed. A. Robertson, the editor
OF this paper, left Falrland last
Saturday afternoon about / O'Clock
to drive to Grove and transact
some business. de was seen in
Grove by many and took supper at
Mr.. w. P. Mayes' and then stared
for his home in Fairland. There
is little doubt but what he passed
Echo about eight O'Clock and was
recognized by Dr. Elan, driving
rapidly toward FairIand. Here
all traces are lost Of the man; how
ever, his team is discovered about
1870 that night going quietly
along the road through the woods
near Walter Smiths and were fol-
lowed by a young country boy un-
iii the prairie was reached where
the boy rode to the side of the
buggy and discovered that there
was no occupant. The horses then
became frightened and began q
race toward this town reaching the |
livery barn of Dixon & Ames about
11:20 sweating and hecked with |
foam. Since then every effort has
been made to get some trace
of Mr.. Robertson; the woods have |
been searched and parties are still |
searching and dragging the river.
There can be no reasonable
theory advanced except murder.
The gentleman besides his connec-
ton with this paper, had nice
business and was the
principal of the Fairland high
school. He had been here over
year and was rapidly gaining
friends and influence and becom-
ing one Of the towns representa-
tive citizens. He was only 81
years old, almost boy, ,and would
not weigh over 125 pound, SO If
murdered, the resistance he could
offer would not exceed that Of
child. He has wife and his do.
mestic relations were thoroughly
happy.
No theory can be reasonably ad-
vanced except murder, and it is
hoped his body may be found and
he guilty parties brought to JUS
ice.
His father and his wife's father
reached Fairland Wednesday and
ire doing all in their power to re-
'over the body and have offered
'eward Of s15O for its discovery.
