The Devastating Effect of a Fire
in Wild Lands.
An Idea Of the Crowds Coming, Old
Home Week.
Items Of interest from the Many Departments
at the Capitol.

| Whlle In Skowhegan where they gave
nearing to the owners of wild lands
IN somerset county, the State assessors
| learned of an unusual condition Of
| lands caused by fire. Several years
ago a forest fire broke out in a portion
| OF King Bartlett Township. That year
was very dry and the fire swept over
the country with fearful fury. on &C
count of the drought the fire did more
than simply burn the trees and under
brush. 1t took hold of the peat and
turf which was so very dry that the
roots even We're burned to a depth of
several inches below the ground. When
the fire had passed, the damage was
fearful. and although the fire occurred
several years ago, that tract has not
recovered yet from its effects. Even
now the tract is a wild waste with
slight prospect that the trees will show
green for several years to come Even
when 1t does begin to show green many
years viii pass before the tract is
again covered with trees large enough
to be of any value to the operators
Before the tract was burned over it
was as valuable as the ordinary town
ship of similar location. Now that
the damage is done the owners value
the land at. but % cents an acre. as
time only can effect change that will
make its growth of any worth.
The assessors in giving the hearings
find that the owners of the timber
lands have accepted an advance in the
value of property and have come be
fore the board prepared to meet any
thing that might come up in connec-
ton with the anticipated change
Reports of the interest which is be

ceived word that parties are being

the excursion. With the arrangements
that are being made by the committee.

ABOUT THAT FULL
DINNER PAIL.
What Abraham Lincoln Said
Relative to the Subject.

Mr.. Hanna has repeatedly declared
that the full dinner pail argument Is
sufficient to lead the working masses
to vote for the reelection Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. He holds that so long as the
dinner pail is full the workingman has
no interest in inquiring into the meth
DDS by which Mr.. Rockefeller and 9TH
er trust m%onopolies pile up millions Of
dollars in profits every year.
To this sort of argument, which Is
much older than Mr.. Hanna or Mr..
Rockefeller, Abraham Lincoln replied
in a speech as pregnant with homely
truth IS an A1sop fable. This speech
was delivered Sept. u, 1859, at Gin
cinnati:
Il hold, If the Almighty had ever
made a set of men that should do all
the eating and none Of the work, he
would have made them with mouths
only and no hands, and If he had evo
made another class that he intended
should do all the work and none Of the
eating, he would have made them
without mouths and with all hands.
But. inasnuch as he has chosen to.
make men in the way he has, X any
thing is proved it is that those hands
and mouths are to be cooperative
through life and not to be interfered
with. That they are to go forth and;

The election Of Mckinley will mean
not only a continuation of the present
policy, but many radical departures
from a free government. The trusts

A FEW WORDS
TO THE VOTER,
You Have 1t In Your Power to
Defeat Trust Despotism.

You love liberty and hate despotism;
you oppose monopoly; you want gov
eminent by the people and not by a
class; you wish the flag to be the en-
blem Of freedom; you are convinced
that the Republican leaders Of today
are the agents Of the trusts and that,
in obedience to the commands of the
monopolies, they are betraying the
people aid establishing despotism.
What can you do to say the republic?
Listen. The people are sovereign.
The ballot is omnipotent. Three re.
form parties are in the field under the
leadership of Bryan, and, with a con-
gress such as will come with his cleo
tion. the great powers Of government
will be taken out of the hands Of
friends Of the trusts and turned against
monopoly that justice may be done to
all.
The platform of the three parties In
the main declare for the reforms you
favor and oppose the wrongs which are
injuring you. These platforms advo-
cate all the fathers fought and bled
for, all that Lincoln lived and died for.
Read these platforms and see If this is
not true. They speak in no uncertain
tone. and the man these reform parties
name for president 10 w. j. Bryan, the
greatest living exponent Of the princi-
pies of the reform platforms. No man
doubts Mr.. Bryan's sincerity, no man
questions his courage. II you cannot
agree with him In all things, you sure
" do in most things. In this supreme
struggle you should make your vote
and influence felt. One thing is GER
%tain-either Mckinley or Bryan will
be elected. Which shall it be? Behind
Mckinley is Mark Hanna, and behind
Hanna is the plutocracy. All the trusts
are for Mckinley; every trust is against
Bryan; every imperialist is against
him. Bryan.s reliance is upon the peo-
pie. and you are of the people.
Will you be for Bryan and the republic
or for Mckinley and the empire2
