When the Maine national guards gets
into working order again the men will
not wear the old dress uniforms though
these are in stock in the quartermaster' s
department. They will not be issued
again and hereafter the guard of the
State will be on a neat business basis
and there will be no more of the dress
uniform in Maine, unless it is with the
officers, who ON certain occasions are
expected to put on full dress. The
clothing that will be issued to the guard
will be the fatigue blouse and trousers
leggings and the regulation cap such as
was issued the Maine batteries. The
campaign hat will also be used in GER
tain work. Overcoats will of course be
issued.
In the Franklin supreme court Thurs
day. in the case of Isaac w. Green of
Coplin, against Edward j. Lawrence ct
al of Fairfield, to recover s2125.63 claim
ed to be due for cutting and hauling
logs in Alder stream township in 1896
and 1897, the jury after being out nearly
six hours returned virdict awarding
Mr.. Green $1219 of which Lawrence ct
al admitted that they owed him 1878 or
whereabouts, interest included. Mr..
Heath, attorney for the defendants will
at once file exceptions, and motion to
set the verdict aside, on the ground that
it was not according to the evidence.
One of the peculiar incidents of this
case was the fact that the son of one of
the principal witnesses for the plaintiff
was member of the jury, but this the
attorney for the defendant did not know
until half day had been spent on the
case or objection would have been made.
1t is not supposed, however, that this in
any way influenced the verdict.

The tragic death of William Jones of

The tragic death of William Jones of
Green township, has caused profound
sorrow, not only in the community
where he resided, but in this city as well
where he was almost equally we'll
known. Mr.. Jones attended barn rails
ing on the farm of william Hall, neigh
Dor, and it was while the work was 10
progress, about O'Clock in the after
noon, that the accident occurred. The
"bent" for the roof had been raised, but
before it could be fastened one of tie
supporting poles gave way, and the
heavy frame fell, striking Mr.. Jones
crushing his face and chest Drs. Cam
eron and Belle were summoned but
could give him no relief. The injuries
were so serious that had physicians been
present when the accident occurred,
death must surely have ensued. Mr..
Jones remained unconscious until the
time of his death, which occurred ut >
O'Clock. Mr.. Jones was born in Lewis
ton, Me-, in 1865, and came to A lpena IA
years ago. He engaged in numbering
for time, but at the beginning of his
married life he engaged 10 farming,
continuing it until his death, ard being
more than ordinarily sue ,essful. Ten
years ago he married Gertrude K. Syl-
Vester, and 10y their own industry they
have secured one of the best farms in
the county, and accumulated consider
able property Three children were
born to them, two of whom are living,
both boys, aged and 3 years. The
deceased belonged to no church or lodges
but WAS man who WAS universally
esteemed. He had lived in the country
long enough so that his character had
become established and no one could
say anything of him that was not good.
The wife is grief.stricken and fears are
entertained that her health may be i'm
pared. The family were wonderfully
devoted to each other, and the death of
the protector and support leaves sad
ness in the hearts OF the loved ones that
cannot be Immediately placated. The
funeral was held at the Flanders church
Wednesday, Rev. Mr.. Mclean ofiiciat
ing, and interment was made in the
Flanders cemetery.
The above extract is from the Alpena
Pioneer, Alpena, Mich, of May 26. Mr.
Jones, when lad of twelve years, came
to live in Canaan and resided here until
about twenty-one years of age. He was
respected by all who knew him as pos
sessing more than an average of the ster-
ling qualities of manhood. The sad ac-
cident which recently occurred in Gree
ley, Mich, bereaves beside his wife and
family there, a fond mother, Mrs. Sarah
M. Crommett, of this place; brother,
Chas. d. Jones, OF Lynn, Mass, and a
sister, Mrs. John M. Simpson, San
Diego. Cal, and many acquaintances in
Canaan and elsewhere to mourn his I'M.
timely end. His age was thirty-four
years.

That is good temperance plank,
good enough for Rev. Abrams, who is
fighting the liquor traffic tooth and toe
nail, to endorse, if he is correctly re-
ported; but who believes that Rev
Abrams places the same Interpretation
on it that the majority of the demo-
Gratis in Iowa do? 1t is not framed in
the interest of frankness and sincerity.
Then. again, the same platform omit
ted a monetary plank and merely re-

interest of frankness and sincerity.

THE IOWA pops.

The middle Of the-road populists of
Iowa held their state meeting in Des
Moines yesterday and went through the
ceremony of putting UP state ticket
and adopting a platform. After care
fully reading Leader Weeks address
and the platform one is impressed with
the thought that there is a distinction
without a marked difference between
parties of Iowa. Their differences are
mainly personal objections to each 9TH
err. The pops. perhaps, are a little
holder and franker than the democrats
IN advocating much the same doctrines.
They give their class of voters the
choice between two evils, and it would
take specialist TO say which is more
to be avoided in this great year of pros
perity and patriotism when nearly
everybody is planning to Vote as they
work-for the great republican party.
Professor Heron, of Iowa College, con-
tributed his opinions and influence to
the gathering, but like the wise moth
was careful not to have his wings
singed too much by getting fully into
the populist harness. 1t seems like the
irony of satirical fate for one to start
out to reform the world and to finally
land hands and feet up in the populis,
