A CHANCE TO BUY.
Large Amount Of Goods to Be Sold
at Kennebec Arsenal,
includes Powder. muskets, Revolvcrs, Tools
Saltpctcr. Household Goods. Etc.

For some time the work of arran-
ing ana preparing for sale the goods
at the kennebcc arsenal which are I'M
available for the troops of the 9th
Regiment which are to be stationc I
here. has been going on. 1t was a
great task and Sergeant p. G.. Sexton
has had his hands full in attending to
it.
The quartermaSters stores will be
sold at auction, September 3. They are
principally household goods which are
no longer of use at the arsenal. MANY
of the articles have been arranged in
storehouses for the observation of
would-be purchasers.
Sealed proposals are being received
for saltpeter. small arms. equipments.
tools. etc. which will be opened Sept
5. There are 334. 600 pounds of saltpet-
er in 5"H boxes. purchased by the gov
eminent some so years ago. for the
manufacture of gun powder. As the
government makes but little black gun
powder now it will be sold 1t was
bought at Il cost of S92 600 1t is in a
perfect state of preservation but if a
quarter of the original cost is realized
it will be considered a good sale. There
have been number of inquiries con-
corning this lot of saltpeter from all
parts of the country.
| There are l2,302 carbines at the ar
senal to be sold and they are in excel
| lent condition having never been used.

Appeals Case.

Arthur Smith of Windsor. who was
alleged to have made a disturbance at
Pettingills Corner, Friday evening,
was arraigned in police court Satur-
day morning. Judge Andrews stated
that the case was much less serious

Windsor. Smith claimed to have drank
only some cider which he brought
from home. and two Glasse OF beer
which he purchased in Augusta. This
mixture was too much for him as he
himself acknowledged. but it APP
pea red that much of the trouble winch
it WAS alleged that he made was pro-
yoked by the taunts of others.

good work and the health conditions
we're phenomenal. l would like to see
that idea of guard duty being an ardu-
Gus task got rid of. Whether or no,
IT is firing depends wholly on the mer
themselves. They have two hours or
duty and then four off. If they would

would be anything but hard work.

TO IN this line. 1t is estimated that
during the next few weeks consider
ablNtmore than 1000 will go through

Az Che time of the outbreak Of the
disease here it will be remembered the
board of health offered free vaccina
ton and City Physician Sawyer scrap
ed the arms of about 200 children in
less than week. 1t is thought that the
move was 4 wise one, and acting on
the theory that an ounce of prevention
Is worth pound of cure. it has been
decided that all children who attend
the public schools must go through the
process.
''Of course. said a member of the
board of health to a reporter. Friday
I'VE are not expecting an outbreak OF
smallpox in Bangor during the com
ing winter. but nevertheless, nearly
anything is possible and much strang-
er things than this have happened be

or less of the disease in Canada every
winter. and it would be comparative
ly easy when one stops to think of it
for it to cross the border and to fine
foothold in Bangor.
Our policy is in line with that o

HOWARD THE
RENEGADE
[ Captured by the Third III
fantry and Taken Into
Manila.

MANILA, Sept 4.-Lieutenant Haz-
zard Of the Third Infantry has brought
in here Arthur Howard, the American
deserter, who was recently. captured by
the lieutenant while in command OF
some Macabebe scouts in the island of
Mindoro. He was placed in jail and
will shortly be court-martialed.
Howard denies that he was ever an
American soldier. He claims he was
born in Spain; that his father was
English and his mother Spanish, but
that he espoused the cause of the Fill
pinos. In 1896, after peace was declar-
ed, he said he went to Hongkong, and
returned in 1898 as Aguinaldo's chief of
artillery. While in that position, How
ard also says, he made friends with
many Americans before theinsurrection,
including General Green. He cast his
lot with Aguinaldo at the time of the
rupture with the Americans, and he
can prisoners; under a flag of truce
at Angeles, in September. 1899.
Howard denies that he commanded
the force at San Mateo which killed
General Lawton.. He speaks like an
educated Englishman. Lieutenant Haz-
card says he himself saw Howard at
Angeles in 1899. Two former California
today identified Howard as a
deserter from their regiment named
Valley of Company A, who deserted
in 1899. :.
/. MANILA Sept. 6.-Brigadier-G General
'Kobbe and Senator Beveridge of In
diana left here today on board the
transport Thomas. Three men have
positively identified Howard, the de-
serter captured by Lieutenant Hazard
in the island of Mindoro as being a
man named valley, who deserted from
a regiment Of California volunteers in
1899.
Pacheco, who succeeded Moxico as the
insurgent leader in the island of Leyte,
has surrendered with his entire force
at Athena. A small force of insurgents
recently entered Taal, province of Ba-
tangas, and abducted the local Presi-
dente.
