MAINE is FOR BRYAN"
The Inversion q the Sign Expressed the True
Situation Better Than Its Words.

Augusta people who passed Wavcrly
hall in Winthrop court. one day. this
week. had a good laugh at the expense
of the local Democracy. 1t seems that
one Of the big chiefs Of the untcrrifird
who are going to Kansas city to enjoy
the Bryan circus. had prepared a long
strip of bunting bearing the legend in
big letters. Maine is for Bryan" Of
course the aforesaid big chief knew
and knew that everybody else knew
that iii" statement painted on the
bunting was 4 gross faIsehoud. What
he meant to say was that the Maine
delegates to the Kansas City conven-
tiun favor BrNan's nomination. because
he is sure Of it anyway ana has the
helpless party by the throat But all
this required too many words 50 he
abbreviated the statement ut the eX-
pcnSe of Ndracily.
1t was the design t. stretch this
legend along the side of the car bear
ing the delegates and their supplies Of
spring water. In order to test the
effect and stretch the cords by which
il was To be fastened the bunting was
hung out If tn windows Of old WAIVER
Il hall. the historic building that has
3 been used for 81 many better purposes
in the past century. But by some sad
mistake ii Was hung out upside down,
ana there it remained all day in plain
sight If the street. Its inversion gave
an eloquent significance t. the words
which people puzzled out as they
passed out. 1t was very appropriate
that tn" motto Maine is for Bryan"
should be displayed upside down. Or,
better still. wrong side out Prcsum-
ably it viii he put upon the side Of the
car in similar manner.

v,RNEY kiMBklL'S DEATH.
County Attorney Will Iate No Steps A Wild
Yarn from Gardiner

TIL investigation of the death Of
Varney Kimball who died very sud-
denly at Togus. is completed. As soon
as the matter had been placed in the
hands Of County Attorney HescItun he
ordered that an autopsy ~ performed.
This showed that the death resulted
from alcoholism ana that nothing else
entered into the cause If the death.
Nhilr bruises were found N thu mans
body Vet they We're not Of sufficient
severity To have anything to do with
Tho death. Mr. Heselton said. ycster-
day. that ~ should not carry th- mat
ter any further as there is nothing
that the county can do.
A Gardiner special to the Lewiston
Journal. June %. says:
According to an inmate of the Sol
diers' Home at Tosus. who claims TO
know the inside of the ease ana to be
we'll acquainted with the incidents
which led up to the tragedy the end
of that sudden death At the Home, last
Sunday. is not yet.
This is the case in which one Of the
inmates. Narney kmbaii. returned
home from days outing with his face
badly bruised ana battered. Instead
Of going t. his quarters ~ went t. the
hospital where he died shortly after
ward. The report went out that IL
had been the victim Of foul play ana
the officers of the Home spent some
time in trying to find out where and in
whose company kimball spent his
hours of leave. 1t was then given out
that nothing could be ascertaincd and
when the post-mortem had been per
formed the verdict was death due to
alcoholism"
But the inmate who claims To know
says that kimball received his death
wounds at the hands Of comradc with
whom he was not on the best of terms.
He says that the authorities gave out
the report of death from natural causes
in order to lull suspicion ana give them
chance to work up the case against
the other man. This man, he says, is
now away on a furlough, but is being
watched by the officers ana when the
evidence is all gathered in the suspect
ed man will be brought to answer to
the charge of homicide

Thrrc young ladies who live in this
city had narrow escapes from serious
accidents. Thursday evening. The ac-
,iicnt t. one was 50 close that the by

While the II O'Clock train for the

down. The third met with Il similar
fate. but by the time she had jumped
tho train had gained considerable
Roadway.
Instead Of striking fairly on the plat
form and remaining away. she rolled
toward thcrar wheels. For an instant ii
looked as though nothing could pre-
vent her going under the wheels and
being killed. When she stopped she
was within inches IF the trucks
The conductor at once pulled the sig

train was brought To- a standStill the
young ladies had been assisted to their
feet. All three were more on less bruis-

arms and elbows.
An attempt was made by the con-
iuctor "a learn their names. as Such
accidents are reported to Headquarters
They refused to give their names and

ing" Thursday evening Mr.. Leaven-
hearth held forth for their cause in
school-house Dist. 68. He stated that
the republican party was only in favor
of trusts to some extent, and that they
were bound to flourish under these
"great prosperous times which Nc
Kinley had created, when everything
elseb fourishes. He also said they
chad to have them in order to protect
tie laborer.' Very true, indeed. The
miners of Pennsylvania as we'll as
everybody else who is employed under
trust corporation knows very we'll
that the trusts safely protects them
from getting too high wages. But one
thing he said was great lie, 'That
it has been more expensive to the
state during the Lind administration
than during Cloughs." Everybody
knows it is just the opposite way.
Then Saturday evening we had the
honor if we can call it SOY of listen
ing to Messrs. Gandrud, Johnson and
NOrdin in Dist. IS. One of them said
that the republican was "strongly op-
posed to trusts" but he failed to ex-
plain why they did not enforce the
laws they have against trusts now.
But one was "cracker-jack;" he
must undoubtedly some time have,
visited low grade minstrel show
and picked up the most comical acts.
Among other things he said Brya an was
meddIing with the 'Devil and misery"
and that "hell is full OF such heroes as
Aguinaldo. That's indeed like repub-
lican speaking. We are glad that the
people are too we'll informed now-a-
