Star of Progress Grange, East Jackson,
has adopted the following resolutions of re-
spect and sympathy:
One by one our Brothers and Sisters fall,
and as the months and years pass we seem
to miss their faces more and hold their
memory dearer. One of the richest fruits
of our order is the development of the
sweet fraternal tie that binds us SO closely
together, a tie that cannot be weakened by
time or severed by death.
Death has again invaded our ranks and
Sister Elma Fletcher. one whom we held
dear, has departed over the narrow river
which divides the seen from the unseen
world. Her laborS are ended, her anXieties
are quieted, her hopes are crowned with
full fruition, and we are left to perform the
sad, sweet duty of paying our tributes to
her virtues and lamenting our loss.
The form of her whom we all loved to
meet is resting quietly in the little grave
knoll not far from where, years ago, she
commenced life, and she is mourned by a
whole community for SO many years blessed
with her genial companionship and ready
assistance in time of need as well as BY the
Grange she so much loved and in which she
was an energetic and cheerful worker She
early envlnced an ardent desire for the
prosperity of the Grange and its principles,
and with untiring zeal and untinchng
energy labored for that end until the
hand of disease was laid heavily upon her
and she was forced to lay down her nipple
mentS on earth and pass on to that undiS-
covered country from whose limits no
traveller returns.
Therefore, Resolved, That in the death
of Sister Fletcher we have lost a kind friend
and loving Sister, that we realize the loss of
our sister more than words or language can
portray and that the vacant chair at our
Grange meetings will bring to our hearts
the memory of her beautiful life, which will
Shed refining halo on our remaining days.
Resolved, That we will cherish her men,
ory and strive to emulate her virtues and
that we extend to our beloved Brother and
his remaining family the assurance of our
heart felt sympathy and fraternal regards.
Resolved, That a copy of the resolutions
be presented to the family of our departed
Sister, that a copy be sent to The Republi-
can Journal and Bangor Commercial for
publication, and that page, properly in
scribed, to be set apart to her memory in the
minutes of our proceedings.

Although "Andy Dodge" was the only
long story Mr.. Pendleton had written we
learn that he left manuscript for several
other books-poems, short stories, essays,
sketches of travel, and an anthology of
American poetry. Mr. Howells has read
the manuscript of the essays and much of
the poetry and praises them very highly. In
a letter to Mr.. Pendleton he said Il thank
You for letting me see these things I've
read them all with the greatest pleasure ::
and later on in the letter he says: IL hope

find little writing so good bright, humorous
and wise. | find it like you, whom it gave
me so much pleasure to meet" These writ

Dog's-tooth Violet.

This interesting plant, the first of the lily
family to bloom in this locality, may now be
found in abundance in moist meadows. Its
common name, ''Dog 's-tooth violet" is of
unknown origin and of senseless and doubt
full significance, as it bears not even re-
mote resemblance to the violet family. The
designation ''dOg' s-tooth'' is easily tracable
to the callus tooth on the margin of
each of the inner sepals near the base,
which some imaginative mind must have
likened to fangs of the dog. Its other popu-
lar name, ''yellow adder's tongue" is refer
able to its peculiar leaves, which are mottled
and at the tips rolled somewhat in the shape
of the darting tongue of serpent Its bo-
tanical name, erythronium, is from Greek
word ''ernthros,' meaning red, and was first
applied to a European species with purple
flowers.

Gas Well Finally Extingulshed.

Fred Horton and George Hepburn
worked like Turks all day Tuesday
trying to get the gas well which was
set on fire by the lightning Monday
afternoon eXtinguished. The diff
Guilty lay in the fact that the hole was
wide open and the gas burning from
the open casing, and but for the fact
that the gas sand had not been en-
tered far enough to develope a full
pressure the task would have been
impossible. AS it was the men were
simply worn out by their exertions.
The method used was ingenious. A
wooden plug, tapered to easily enter
the casing, was fastened at the center
of long pipe and then several men
held each end of the pipe and carried
it across the we'll. The plug was
inserted and the men held it down in
the hole. A steam jet from the engine
boiler was then played upon the re-
naming flame and twas extinguished,
but the men were well roasted and
blistered and knocked about by the
powerful gas stream and the terrible
heat before this was accomplished
