South Berwick is having more than
its share of sensations. A few weeks
ago a woman was brutally murdered
there, and now with the author of
that crime still undiscovered
an exceedingly bold attempt is
made to rob one of the banks.
This last affair appears to have been the
work of men who have had experience
in this sort of business. Undoubtedly
the expectation of the robbers was that
the explosion would tear off all the doors
of the safe, and that they would have time
enough before the town was aroused to
snatch the money and securities which it
contained and escape. But one door with
stood the explosion and the valuables
could not be reached. 1t is strange that
in small towns like South Berwick
which are practically unguarded at night
bank officials should keep so much of
value in their banks as there was in this
vault Certainly there is little excuse for
keeping securities In them since it is easy
to send them to safety deposit vaults in
the large cities where no burglar can pos
sibly get at them.

Senator Morgan may be able to prevent
action ON Senator Spooner's Philippine
bill, by interposing the Nicaragua canal
bill but fortunately their is little chance
that he will be able to get favora BILE
action on the latter measure. 1t is alto
gether better that both bills should fail
than that the latter should pass with the
report of the commission still unmade
and the Clayton Bulwer treaty still un-
abrogated. To pass this bill under exist
ing circumstances would be to fly in the
face of the most obvious business proceed
ence us well as to repudiate without any
reasonable excuse our international obli-
cations. The Nicaragua canal Is hobby
of Senator Morgan and he seems deter
mined to press it in season and out OF

Death of E. II. Atwood,

Many of the readers of the HERALD
had a personal acquaintance with E.
II. Atwood of St. Cloud, and all who
knew him of necessity admired and
respected him. His sudden deato on
Sunday last is announced in the Jour-
nal Press:
The community was inexpressibly
shocked Sunday evening to learn of
the sudden death of E. II. Atwood,
one of its n.Gst prominent and best
known citizens, in California where he
has been spending some months with a
son. Mr.. Atwood was supposed by all
who knew him and even by the MEM
bers of his family to be in the best of
health, and the news of his death was
therefore the more difficult of compre-
hensiOn. While he had lived the allot-
ed three score years and ten, his health
had ever been such as to suggest a
longer life than is accorded to most
people and late intelligence from him
had indicated an even better health
than he was wont to enjoy.
The first intimatiOn of his illness
was message received by the MEM
bers OF the family in St. Cloud sunday
morning at 1l:30 o'clock. 1t was in
the form of telegram sent by Mrs.
Stella M. Atwood, wife of DR.. Harry
A. Atwood and which had been sent
from the summer home of DR.. Atwood
at Long Beach, California. 1t said:
"Father is very sick. Will telegraph
tomorrow. The message had proba-
bly, been sent Saturday night and the
family was thus prepared for the re-
ceiving of the death message which
followed at o'clock when the Western
Union Office opened Sunday afternoon.
It read: Gather passed away this
morning of apoplexy."

Herewith, and means for keeping
said housing free from dust, sub

A valuable feature of the thresher
is that the power. is not idle. The
thresher is so constructed that it can
be easily and quickly removed from
the trucks without interfering with
the engine, which is then available
for grinding feed, operating a saw
mill, pumping water-in fact for any
thing that from ten to thirty-horse-
power is available for.
The combination engine is as eco
nomical in its use as would be the
Independent engines often-horse-power
each, and far more convenient. One
may have at disposal any desired
power from ten to thirty horse-suf-
fcient to accomplish vast amount OF
diversified labor. This is valuable
feature of the Keller patent.

satisfactory to Mr.. Keller. He studied
the machine and it's principles thor
oughly, searched out it's weae points,
and addressed himself to perfecting it
in every detail. The result is thresh-

The engine is novel combination

In other words, he can hold in re-
