Our River Banks.

We would again make an appeal for
our river banks. We know that here is no
convenient place for dumping the refuse
of the town, and also, that there is no
place provided for dumping the refuse,
which should be taken care of by a town
of the size of Skowhegan, but 1t is dis
grace to have the banks covered with
old papers and boxes which should be
burned as well as old tins and every Con.
ceivable thing which must be gotten rid
Of from house, shop or store.
The first sight which greets strangers
from the car window on the railroad
bridge, Is not lovely river banks, but
this same old refuse, which should be
put upon some dumping ground pre-
vided by the town fathers, where pc.
troleum or some other similar material
might be put upon IL and burned. The
things which will not burn, should be
buried, or serve good purpose, by fill.
ing up some place where it is needed.
The Town Improvement Society Va a
band of women who are both willing,
and glad, to give time and money, dur
ing the summer toward making those
places of beauty, but the power Is not in
their hands, and they can only appeal,
and stir up Gas gentleman said to
them) IL they have no vote to bring a
thing about, so much desired. II anyone
does not think that these things are SO,
let him 90 upon the South side, and look
over from the county bridge to the rail-
road bridge, and from here down, as far
as the business portion of the town ex-
tends, and see for himself. Don't tell us
these things need to be.

The south African War.

General Gatacre has been removed
from his command in South Africa and
ordered 10 England in a way that sug-
gests that he is in disgrace. He has
undoubtedly made mistakes, but If all
of Lord Roberts subordinates who have
made mistakes since the war began
were ordered to England the army
would be left almost without generals.
1t is calculated that Lord Roberts now
has PA, 900 effective troops, with $4,000
more afloat or under orders. The war
office has instructed officers not to take
any mole expanding bullets TO Africa
for revolvers.
The Copenhagen correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: Lord Roberts, in a
telegram to the Prince of Wales tender
ing congratulations on behalf of the
troops in South Africa upon the escape
of the Prince at Brussels, spoke very
hopefully of the situation at the front"

present method of electing senators is
well intrenched.

Convention business was pretty lively
In Portland, Oregon, last week. The
Republican State convention met and
transacted Its business, making nomina-
lions and electng delegates, promptly.
1t fully endorsed President McKinley's
administration, and favored the Nicara-
guam canal project. The Democratic
State convention did not have so easy a
job, but succeeded in endorsing Bryan,
and the silver forces were victorious.
The Populist State convention spent al
most the entire day in an attempt to
effect permanent organization. The con-
test was over fusion with the Democrats
and the fusion element finally was vic.
torous. A committee was appointed to
confer with a committee from the Demo
cratic convention for the purpose of
uniting upon a fusion platform ana
ticket. The fusion was consummated
with a satisfactory distribution of caudi-
dates between the two parties.

At meeting held in Portland, Tues
day, after quite lengthy debate it
was agreed to celebrate "Od Home
Week. the week beginning Monday,
August 9th. The meeting was largely
attended by citizens of Maine and by
former residents of the State now citi-
zens of Massach usetts. Gov. Powers
and most of the heads of departments at
Augusta were present and much interest
was manifest. We think it was wise to
fix the date in August rather than July

The multi-millionaire, Clark of Mon

senate committee on privileges and elec-

recommend the adoption of resolution
declaring that W. A. Clark OF Montana

was reached after two hours sitting,
at which all the members of the commit

Do You Read During the Evening?

Have you a good light to read by? Do you want a good light? Have you found that coal oil is high in this coun- try?
 Do you want to save money? Have you ever seen the Belgium burner?
 Do you want to see it? If you read during the evening snd want the brightest and best light to read by, if you want to save money to the amount of several dollars during the next few months, you will find it to your inter- est to call and see our line of lamps. The Belgium burner uses 40 per cent less coal oil and gives about 20 per cent Three gallons of coal oil goes as far in one of our Belgium lamps as five gal Ions does in a Rochester, and at the same time gives one-fifth more light. All this means the saving of the price of a lamp in one year, besides better light. We have a large line of these lamps at prices ranging from $4, com plete with shade, to $S.5O. They are all beauties and we will be glad to show or not. Remember that we carry large line of Hardware Stoves and House Furnishings at bargain prices Don't forget the place.
