THE TOWN PRIMARY.
All tho Members OF tho Old Council Hold
Over Except In Ward Four-Mr. j.
j. LangfOrd Nominated ay
Alderman from that
Ward


The Democratic primary election for
tho purpose of nominating candidates
| for Mayor and Alderman was held in
this city on Friday last. There was no
opposition to the members Of tho old
council, except in Ward 4, and but little
| interest was taken in the election, cx-
ccpt in that ward.
Last year Mr.. j. G.. Myers was elect
ed as Alderman from Ward 4, and on
moving from the ward in September 1,
special election was ordered to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
| Mr.. Myers. This special election was
] held on October 6. At this election
Messrs. ]. d. Hornsby, j. J. Langford
and J. w. White were candidates and
Mr.. White was the successful man. AT
| the election again on Friday the race
was between MIR. White and Mr.. Lang
fordand Mr.. Langford was the success
full candidate.
| During Mr.. Whites short term he
made a good officer and had under way
some lasting improvements for his
ward, which he will cndcavor to com
plete before he vacatcs the ohice.
! Mr.. j. j. Langford is new man, or
will be new man on the AldermaniC
Board, and his ward and the city at
large will not suffer by his election. He
Is young, energetic and watchful of tho
best interests OF the city and will make
good representative from Ward 4.
The nomination as candidates by the
Democratic party Of the city, Of the old
council without opposition, which is
| equivalent to election, is Il worthy
recognition and endorsement the
present administration Of the city.
The present council has done much
in the way ofpermanent Improvements,
such as putting in rock culverts, build
Ing new bridges with rock buttment
widening and fixing streets and the fire
escape at the opera house; and then
they have now under headway improve
ments in both Wards and |, which
have been for several years almost
necessities and which, when completed,
will be lasting. In refunding the opera
house debt of the city money has been
saved the taxpayers each year and in
many other ways money has been saved
putting the finances of the city in bet
ter shape, as the Forthcoming annual
report will show, than they have been
for several years. Judging the admin
istration by the past we feel safe in
saying that at the close Of the coming
year, much of the inherited debt of
$500 will have been paid and the af-
fairs of the city run on cash basis
with an appreciable reduction in the
tax rate.
The result Of the election on Friday
was as follows:

Marshal Morse was dealing punish-
ment to truant, Wednesday. and as
a result City hall was filled with the
shouts of the boy. The little fellow is
only seven years old and he persists in
playing truant at every opportunity
offered. Both his parents are dead.
All who have charge of him, are~two
sisters who work in the publishing
houses, and 10-year-old brother. They
used every method they could imagine
and then called upon Marshal Morse to
cure the boy of his habits of truancy.
He promised the marshal he would go
to school. Wednesday, but failed to do
SO. He was found and carried to the
police station where he was locked up
in one of the cells as punishment.
AS long as he had the strength he kept
the greatest shouting. crying and kick
ing going on that the station has seen
in a long time, even the DRINKS not
comparing with it. Finally his rebel
lious spirit was overcome and he
promised better things. 1t is doubtful
If the punishment has to be admin
istered a second time. which is the wish,
at least. of the city marshal, as he does
not enjoy it in the least.

IN order to place the Madison store
keepers on the same footlhs VIII" ,hose
from SSowhegan it is proposed to nave
the freight come over the Maine Cen
trail to Skowhegan and be transferred
from that place to Madison by means
of the electric line. Through this means
IL will be possible, when the arrange
ment is completed, for the Madison
storekeepers to receive their goods d.
their store doors at the same frelsht
and trucking rates which the Skowhe-
gan storekeepers now pay.
In order to carry out this arrange
ment it will be necessary for the eiec-
trio line to run it's freight car over the
line once day at least and in the sum
mer and at times when the freight IS
the heaviest several times a day. AS
the electric car line passes the door Oh
nearly every Madison storekeeprt the
trucking bill will be done away WIN.
The arrangement win the Maine
Central has practically been completed
and only few minor details are now
lacking to have the new arrangement
an assured thing.
During the past winter the electric
line has been doing more business than
it has done for some time. a good part
of the freight has been made up OF logs
which have been carried from the
farms along the line to this place.
1t is planned to have the new ar
rangement in working order by the first
