THE INFIRMARY DIRECTORS

bor Is Sworn Into Office.
HE HOLDS TWO POSITIONS

Have Said to Him That He Need
Not Give 1t Up When He
Takes the New Place
Oficial Changes.

The new county officials whose terms
Of office began with the new year took
up the active duties of their positions
| Tuesday. Prosecutor Pomerene closed
his career as a public official Saturday
and on Monday it became Prosecutor
Day. Mr.. Day came over from Mas
sillon New Years day and was sworn
into office. The oath was administered
by Clerk of Courts Thomas c. Ca ,sel-
man and Judge McCarty approveJ his
bond. The bond of the new prosecutor
is for $4,000. 1t is signed by ]. H. Hunt
and David B. Day as securities.
} Prosecutor Day came to Canton Tues
day morning and took up his office in
the room of the court house provided
for the prosecutor. He stated that for
the present he would not open any other
office in this city. His family will re-
main in Massillon.
INFIRMARY DIRECTOR.
Andrew Reese, the new infirmary Gi-
rector who succeeds Mr.. Bixler, arrived
Tuesday morning at the court house.
He submitted a bond for IS, 900 signed
by Johnson Grant, Ephraim Pickens,
Henry Hoffman, B. o. Meese and Jacob
Hildebittle. The bond was approved
by the directors and at o'clock Tues
day morning the retiring member of the
board, Mr.. BiXler, who is q notary,
swore in Mr.. Reese to his new office.
Squire Reese has been justice of the
peace in Washington township for 20
| He thnt0ht l. \
have to resign that office upon taking
that of intirmary director but the pros
ecuting attorney and other lawyers told
him it would not be necessary so he
will continue to serve in both capaci-
ties. The infrmary board will hold its
annual meeting Wednesday and reor-
ganize.
RETIRING OFFICIALS.
The retiring prosecutor, Atlee Pom
creme, leaves the official position that
he has so capably held, with the con-
sciousness of a duty well done. He has
been fearless in the discharge of such
matters as came to his official notice
and has given the full measure of time
to the work. During his term of office
some of the most important cases in
the history Of the county have been
tried. Probably in the history of the
office there has never been so much
work to do as Prosecutor Pomerene has
been called upon to perform. He has
been tireless in the work and leaves the
office with clean recoEd. He will here
after give his exclusive attention to his
own law practice.
Henry Bixler who retires as mfr
mary director, has been most energetic
in the discharge of his duties. Not all
of the duties of an in1rmarY director
are pleasant, but Mr.. BiXler has made
a most successful official. He and the
retiring prosecutor have the best wishes
of many friends for continued sue

John A. LOgan's Death.

BusseIl & Weston's Recent CHANCES.

Bussen & Weston are about through
with several important changes and
improvements which they have for
several weeks quietly been making. In
the first place they have had new steel
ceiling of very pretty design, placed
in the lower store and the show win
dows have been changed by the addi-
ton of rear windows and lace cur
tains. 50 that dust and flies are eX-
cluded from the fine goods in the
windows. and yet the store is not
darkened. This first floor contains an
immense stock of goods that it need
not be said are rich and stylish, for
otherwise they would not be found in
Bussell & Weston's. On the second
floor. it can hardly be said there is
room for more furS. cloaks. jackets.
suits skirts. waists, &c. &c, for the
tables. counters and show cases, fair
ly groan with their precious burdens
and il is no wonder this stock draws
trade from afar. One of the most in
teresting Of the additions is to be
found on the third floor and in passing
through to this new manufacturing de
partment. one can see that the surplus
stock on the third floor from which the
two lower floors draw man. of their
supplies is mere congested with goods
if possible than either Of the others,
inasmuch that no space is necessarily
left for customers. as in the retail de-
partments. The new manufacturing
room is supplied withan electric motor
which while it makes the sewing
machines spin, yet does not do it at
the expense of the lady operators, be
ing great relief to nerves and
muscles Here, in this room, your
skirt. suit. or waist, can be quickly
altered. or a new one made providing
YOU find none in stock 10 be an exact
fit. The fitting room is near at hand
and neatly furnished. It requires
money and enterprise to keep up with
the times and fortunately this firm is
not lacking in either.

ARoos1ook POTATOES.
Great Harvest About /, Besin-YisId Less
Than Last Year.

Houlton, Me, Oct 9.-(Special. 1.-The
great harvest of potatoes in Aroostook
county is about to begin and the scene
presented to the visitor to the big
farms in this section of Maine at the
present time is an exceedingly inter
esting one. The farmers are busily
engaged In getting their potato houses
in readiness to receive the crop, the
fields are dotted here and there with
diggers ready to turn out onto the top
| of the ground thousands of bushels Of
tubers. and at convenient points
barrels are to be seen in which the
goods. that bring the most money into
| Aroostook county every year, are
placed for transportation to the potato
houseor to the station, as the case may
be. The yield in Aroostook county
last year was something like 1000, 900
bushels. This year it will fall off from
20 to 80 per cent owing to the rust and
the blight. In July it rained every
day after the Fourth and there were
also many rainy days during August
The people there were having rain
when the rest of the State was suffer
ing from the effects of "a drouth.
These rains badly damaged the potato
crop and particularly in the sections
where the preparation for the preven-
tion of rust had not been used very ex-
tensiveiy Notwithstanding the fall
off in the yield there will be more
potatoes shipped out Of Aroostook
county this year than for several years
past. Last year thousands Of bushels
of tubers We're used in making starch.
The market for this product was at
its best and there were many more
starch potatoes than for a long time.
Thus far the indications are that this
years crop Will be one that will not
show many starch potatoes and there
fore shipments by rail TO the New
York and Southern markets will be
large. The month of September sur
passed corresponding months Of pre-
Vious years in the shipments. 1872 car
loads having been sent out from the
Houlton station alone The shipments
over the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
last year We're 2S9i.672 bushels and
half a million bushels We're sent out Of
the county By other roads The aver
age yield per acre in 1899 was 16j
bushels ana this year it is about f20
bushels. The crop is very uneven.
some Of the farmers getting only one
third Of an average yield. The largest
yield thus far reported is that on the
farm Of A. F. Bennett in Linneus.
From a three-acre lot he has harvested
500 barrels or about 1000 bushels and
for the acreage this is the largest yield
ever heard Of in the county.
