HISTORY
OF the [. A. W.-State Representa-
tlves Should Hustle.

Increased 10 lO4, ,ZbS on
April 8, 1898, since which date there
has been a decided decrease.
At the present tehre are 72,5O7 MEM
bers in good standing.
Various causes have been assigned
for this falling on In membership,
such as the war, the hot summer, etc.
One OF the principle reasons was
doubtless the unprecedentedly. rapid
growth of the organization during the
preceding two years.
When there were few members moth
ing in the way of local benefits was ex-
pected, but whe nthe membership be-
came so large, more benefits, and even
loca, ones, were expected Few mem
Ders seemed to care how they obtained
them so they got them, and not obtain
ing them, were more or less disgrunt-
led.
Neither officers nor members appear
ed able to cope with the changed con-
ditions, which had come so quickly.
The officers were not prepared to
handle such a large body. to the best
advantage, and the members were not
disposed to be moderate in their de-
mands. Each one wanted more for
his dollar, and wanted 1t at once. The
league was assuming vast proportions,
and the benefits should surely keep
pace.
About IS worth OF benefits would
have appeased the majority of the
howlers, but there was some. who ex-
pected more for their dollar. The dis
satisfied ones quite naturally allowed
their memberships to lapse. A little
study OF the work and methods OF the
League wVhld have convinced many
of them that such action was unjust
ifable.
FEW PAID OFFICERS.
Like all fraternal organizations, the
paid officers of the league are few In
number, and since its inception the
League has depended to a great extent
upon the voluntary work of its mem
bers.
All road maps, tour books, recruit
ing and large proportion Of the pub
lications and advertising are the re-
suits of such work in the past.
To put the organization in the most
fourishing condition, and to keep it so.
1t is therefore necessary that fair
proportion of its members give some
assistance in its work.
Take up, the tour boon and in any
section where there are few routes
mapped out,you will almost invariably
find that the membership OF that sec
tion is small, and that 1t has no live
workers. Indifference rules there and
dissatisfaction will invariably follow.
Il. A. w. signifies nothing to the mem
bers for they expect so much and are
contributing so little.
A great change in league methods is,
about to be lnaugurated by the forma-
ton of Local ConsuIates in the various
towns and cities. 1t is believed that
it will prove a success from the start,
for a similar plan has been in opera
ton in Clevland, o., for some time, and
the results have been about all that
could have been desired. League MEM
bers will then more fully realize that
the benefits to be derived from the Or
ganizatiop depend to certain extent
upon the work performed by them
selves.

WinsloW- Brown.

A pleasant wedding occurred,
Wednesday evening, at the home of the
groom on Water street, Hallowell, when
Frank A. Winslow of Hallowell, and
Miss Bertha L. Brown of Augusta,
were united in marriage. Rev. John

the friends were present to witness the
ceremony, and to wish the couple q
continuance of all the happiness that
now bIesses their lives.

house by tearing hole lust over tn,
front door. Here it split, a part go.
ing upstairs and through the house
and out by tearing another hole in the
side OF the house. The second part OF
the bolt went down the bell wire and
through the room where Mrs. White
and her daughter were sitting. 1t tore
the finish and many things from the
hallway, and threw them into the sit
ting room.
Mrs. White was made unconscious
by the shock but soon recovered. Both
she and her daughter were deafened in
one ear and up to late hour, Wednes-
day afternoon, had not recovered
their hearing. Fortunately the bolt
did not set the house on fire. The loss
will be covered in the Macomber, Farr
& Written agency.
The third accident of the storm was
in the house of Joseph III. Latino, who
lives on Bolton hill. The bolt entered
the chimney, tearing it badly and GO
ing down and out by the stove, where it
worked havoc in the kitchen. Here
also it failed to set the house on fire.
Downing's agency estimated that there
would be nearly $50 damage to this
place.
Later reports from the county in the
section of Sidney and Riverside were to
the effect that several houses and
barns were struck. The barn of Will
liam Williams living about four miles
north of the city of the West River
road, was struck and two horses killed
In another place two cows were killed
The storm at Riverside was terrific and
several trees were struck by lightning
1t seemed very strange that in all the
places where the bolts struck, no fire
resulted.
A second shower arrived just about
the time that the people were leaving
their work. at O'Clock and through
out the evening the rain continued to
fall, with little intervals between to
allow the clouds to collect.

Tuesday, in connection with the en-

Legislature, directed against the sham

We believe the law is doing some
good" said Commissioner Lord to the
Journal, considering the fact that
there are IA less stores in Lewiston,
where they posed as drug stores. This
is only one city, and we have other
places in view. We shall visit Bidde-
ford in a few days and shall make the
same crusade there that we have in
Lewiston
Did you take legal steps against the
Lewiston Dealers" asked the Journal.
NO. it was not necessary" re-
sponded the commissioner. We have
been in communication with several of
the more prominent sham stores, and
at the time OF our visit some had al
ready gone out of business. We mad
clean canvass of the city, and visited
every place where we We're not certain
there was a registered druggist in COM
mand. Every place that bore the least
appearance of a drug store was en-
tered, and we explained the law to
| them. We met no opposition, and
will wager that by this time there is
not a sham store there. today.
