Hon. Frederic II. Hsrford OF south
Portland, who has in charge the annex
alton movement In that city, has made
very careful study Of the situation, and
is convinced that there Is n large majori-
ty there in favor OF annexation. Judge
Hartford thinks that there VIII be no real
opposition in South Portland to annexa-
tion to Portland, II the legisla-
ture decides to submit the proposition 20
a popular vote.
For ons thing, there is feeling that
the Portland fire fighsing system could
be extended with great advantage 70 the
younger city OF South Portland. Tnose
who favor annexation point TO the tact
that the Deering wards have this year
been better looked after than could pos
sibly have been the case had they re-
manned a separate municipality. IL ID
argued that this would be still more ap.

growing crops were greatly revived.

heat and drouth during the month,
was greatly benefited, and is now ear
ing with excellent prospect for large
yield. Buckwheat, millet and gar
dens are generally in good condition.
On the whole the weather during the
week has been favorable for farming
operations, harvesting has been some
what retarded by local rains; and hay
and oats have been damaged to some
extent Haying is now practically
completed in all sections, except in
some parts of the Panhandle section.
Oats harvesting has also been about
completed, and oats are mostly in
shock and stack In most sections
threshing is about done, but will con-
tinue in some counties for several
weeks yet. Some turnips have been
sown during the week, and early po-
tatoes are now ready to dig. Fruit
prospects continue about the same as
last week; apples are still reported as
falling and the prospects are generally
for a small crop; the prospects are
fairly good for grapes and peaches, and
blackberries are plentiful.

What newspaper man gets fair

deserving editor to get tenth of
the credit that was due him. How
often it is the case that an editor
will work for months or maybe years
in behalf of some local Improvement
or enterprise, get public sentiment
up to the acting point. aud then see
some belated convert to his ideas
plsh in and ride the wave that the
editor has made and claim the credit
for what has been done without his
thought of aid? He even claims
credit tor the wave. and in many
cases the editor gives this helated
convert and wave rider credit for
what he himself has done The
more modest and deserving the
newspaper man is, the oftener he
does this.

cross wagging their foolish heads

may be said of the newspaper man
He makes others; himself he can
not make. 1t is easy enough for
him to get under another and boost

we'll and fountain, to say nothing OF
the recent Fourth of July festivities,
participated in by thousands of
Frenchmen and Americans in Paris,
have had much TO do in establishing

are sentimental and questionable
people, and while sentiment may be
transient, there must, nevertheless,
be a residium, which may have its po-
tency in cementing fractures caused

in their competition for trade and
territorial advantages.

A Horrible Death.

Daniel Ashcraft, Doddridge coun-
ty patient atthe Weston Hospital, met
horrible death on Thursday night.
His place Of confinement was on the
fourth floor and in some way he
eluded his keepers and pried off an
iron guard from the window and got
out on the roof. There he found a
ladder which he suspended from the
roof with his suspenders intending,
presumably, to descend this and drop
from its base to the ground. The
fastening at the top broke and he fell
with the ladder and was found dead in
the morning.

of a man last night was found on a
freight car at Benwood Junction

discovery of torn pants leg which
was freshly stained with human
blood The piece of garment did
not bear the appearance of being

poorly clad tramp. It was found
also that the entire train crew had
landed safe and saw no person dis
appear from the train In times
past such discoveries have been
made, but the finding OF the victim
always follows. On this occasion
no clue can be found and the affair
remains a mystery The stained
garment was taken from the car
trucks and placed in the trsnsfer
shed for safe keeping.
