When Turner had finished. there was
silence. Melvin had no observation TO

dence which might be of Importance.
The case has been thoroughly sifted.
Naturally there is some disappoint-
ment that the case was not finally
disposed of at this term, but if the
county attorney, who is cognizant of
all the facts presented to the grand
jury, is satisfied that there is good
and sufficient reason for postponing
final action, certainly the public, not
so well informed, should abide in pa
thence and refrain from criticism.
We believe County Attorney Tracy
is doing his utmost to find the truth
in this much tangled mystery, and we
have more confidence now than ever
before that the guilty ones will be
brought to justice. We win abide in
patience until the April session of the
grand jury.

Rumors concerning the isthmian
canal treaty still serve to fill space in
the air. They are asserted beyond
doubt one day and denied the next.
As matter of fact, nothing is nor
can be positively known. A member
of the cabinet who will not allow
his name to be used says that diplo-
matte negotiations are practically
completed, and that a treaty will be
presented to the Senate which will be
acceptable to England and which will
meet with the hearty approval of the
Senate. He further says that Mr..
Roosevelt has given this matter his
personal attention and believes he
has affected an agreement with Great
Britain that will reflect credit upon
the party and incidentally upon his
administration.

Leader of .HoIy Ghost and U.s.,

Mrs. A. NJ. Mclntire, leader of the
'Holy Ghost and Us" society of OrIand,
OF which much has been written, died
Sunday, after an illness Of several months.
Although some of the doctrine and
practices taught by Mrs. McIntire met
with censure and opposition, she was
looked upon with respect Tor her ability,
earnestness and consistency In her belief
and teachings.
Mrs. McIntire became a convert to the
Holy Ghost and Us movement when 1t
was started in 1895, and went to Orland
and commenced holding meetings and
preaching that faith. She soon obtained
a following, and determined to remain in
that town permanently. The little society
grew, and finally 1t was deemed necessary
to have more suitable place In which to
hold the meetings. A lot was select ed in
the village on the Alamoosook road, and
work began on May 1, '9s. The corner
stone was laid on May Is. inscribed upon
it is the date and the sentence. "Have
faith in God". The building was com
pleted in October of that year. Since hat
time 1t has been much improved. and now
represents an outlay OF some g 900.
The church which was also fitted with
living apartments, was conducted similar
to the Beulah Home near Lewiston.
in the evangeiistic work, and here the
poor and sick of the sect were given aid
and shelter. The death OF Mrs. McIntire
will be serious blow to the society.

remarking, with no little amusement,
upon the self-evident though 30 far
unexpressed change of heart of the
democrats, as witnessed by the COM

at least more or less doubtful, in no

MAINE WATER POWERS.
Report of George b. Hollistcr, of Gov
eminent Geological Survey.

eminent Geological Survey.
George b. HOLSTER, OF Rutherford, N.
j., resident photographer U. s. Geolog-
ical survey, in report just issued, says
the State OF Maine has two internal
questions of great Importance which are
receiving renewed attention. For years
1t has stood pre-eminent In the value OF
its forest resources; with proper atten-
tion and development its water resources
will prove no less valuable and important.
The State is fortunate in possessing a
combination of physical features which
have produced an unusually large num-
Der of good water power streams, namely,
an elevated and thickly wooded ridge or
highland in the Central and Northern
portion, several thousand feet above sea
level, from which the decent is rapid, and
also, very important feature, the pre-
sence OF large number of lakes situated
on the higher lands which may easily be
made to act as storage reservoirs to reg
ulste and keep constant the flow of the
streams.
Many thousands OF horse power are
already utilized on the Kennebec, Penob-
scot and Androscoggin rivers, but the
opportunities for further development
sre still great.
OF late years interest in the use of water
as cheap power has very much increased,
and considerable attention has been given
to its greater utilization. To this end en-
gineers have urged the systematic inves-
tigation of the streams to establish true
records Of their flow and discharge, and
to determine the possibilities and cost of
storage In the upland lakes and the raising
OF their waters by the construction Of
dams.
Particular activity has been shown by
those now using power on the Kenne-
beck river, who last spring placed $500 in
the hands of the U. 8. Geological survey
to conduct measurements of flow OF that
stream and to consider the storage posi-
bilities In Moosehead lake. To this
amount the survey added q like sum, and
furnished men to complete the work. As
a matter Of general state interest and adj
vantage, 1t is desirable that the other
watersheds within its area should re-
ceive similar study.

GOULDsBORO MANS INVENTION
An Improved Cutter Bar for Moving
Machines.

An Improved Cutter Bar for Moving
Machines.
George r. Harrison, of Gouldsboro, has
apparatus for moving machines in which
the cutter bars and cutters thereon have
impaired to them a reciprocating motion
through the medium of connecting
rods and cranks or other similar means
for operating the rods.
The invention improves the cutting
apparatus, the cutting action is materi-
ally facilitated and the usual jar or
"shake" to the movable parts is avoided.
The cutters are arranged in two sec
tions, and there may be any number OF
cutters comprising each section, as found
most oesirs Bile, this being left to the
judgment of the manufacturer and de-
pending entirely upon the size Of the
moving machine. The invention is not
limited to any special construction of
finger bar or gusrd-ingers or Of the
cutters, as any changes in form and con-
struction may be resorted to without III
any manner affecting the essential fea-
ture of the invention.
The two sets of cutters are not arranged
one above the other, but on the same
horizontal and vertical plane, and
the cutter bars are arranged on the same
horizontal plane, but on different vertical
planes, the same set OF finger bars an
swering for both sets of cutters.
The two sections of the cutters are so
connected with relation to each other
that when in motion one section will cut
while the her section is running light,
causing the machine to do its work WITH
one-half the power that is necessary in
the ordinary cutting apparatus, and OBJ
Waiting to great extent the usuni
shake ineiden. to the rapid motion OF the
cutters, each section of cutters working
independent of the other and without
any great degree of vibration.
