The clothing factories of w. W. Gates and
M. B. Lawrence in the Coliseum building
are very busy on bicycle suits. They employ
over hundred hands and run two hours
and a half extra every day.
The new electric motor for Thompson &
Foster arrived here on the train Monday
forenoon at 10 10 and at II 80 was started to
drive the machinery. 1t was set up by G.

The town of Burnham is soon to have a
new and very novel industry established in
the village, and one which will be of great
benefit to all people who own maple groves.
A. W. Fletcher, Everett Libby, Ernest Lib
by and G. E. Gilmore will form company
for the bottling of the sap of maple trees
and putting it on the market. This is an
entirely new venture, and one which will be
watched with a great deal of interest by the
people of the town. Experiments have been
made which show that the sap of the maple
tree can he put up in bottles and charged the
same as the soft beers and mineral waters
are.

Downed by Dawson.
therefor

During the morning session OF the House
at Augusta March 18th Mr.. Virgin of Port
land, IN support of the veterinary bill, eX-
planned its features and merits in full, which
occupied considerable time. Then, says the
correspondent of the Portland Evening Ex-
press, Mr.. Dawson of Monroe, who has been
acquiring considerable reputation of late for
rescuing with his eloquence certain meas
ures from falling over the brink, asserted
his mind quite vi gorously. "Ne farmers
are suspicious of doctors and lawyers. Now
we don't know what there may be in this
bill detrimental to us farmers. I've asked
a dozen men to explain the bill to me, but
know just about as much about it now as
did before. There are too many technical
features. The wording of the bill is going
to Kill it." Dawson made a whirlwind of
speech against the passage of the bill, and
some of his comparisons and illustrations
created great laughter. When Mr.. Dawson
sat down with a broad smile On his face the
question was on the passage of Mr.. Guern-
sey 8 motion to Indefinitely postpone. The
bill never knew what struck it. DAVIS on
won an overw helming victory, and members
all up and down the aisle rushed to grab the
hand of the man who had slain the beast
with his forked works. 1t was a proud
moment for Dawson.
The gentleman from Monroe is a born
fighter. He is IS years old, and farmer by
occupation. He served for four and half
years in the civil war. He was wounded
and taken prisoner at the battle of Balls
Bluffs. He was also wounded at the battle
of Gettysburg and shot through both legs at
the battle of the Wilderness, and later W as
take prisoner before Petersburg, Va.
