KENNEBEC.
MT. VERNON.

Capt. William Whittier, an old and
much respected citizen, died, March "a,
after one weeks illness from grip and
pneumonia, aged IS years. Mr.. Whit
tier was born in Mt. Vernon and spent
nearly all his life here. A widow and
two daughters, Mrs. Hubbard of WOr-
cester, Mass, and Mrs. A. D. Perkins
of Rutland, VT, survived him. Mr..
Whittier and wife lived together about
IS years. He was never confined to the
bed before by illness. He was a men,
Der of the Baptist church for many
years. He will be very much missed as
he was a good citizen, kind father and
good neighbor.
Much sickness has prevailed in this
section the past month.
Mrs A. P. Cram and daughter BERTHE
and Mrs. r. Is. Cram, have returned
from Portland.
Mrs. Vilroy Hubbard of Worcester,
Mass, has been here, during the sick
ness and death of her father, Capt. w.
Whittier.
It is with regret we hear of the death
of Mrs. E. Kempton of Winthrop. who
was formerly a resident of this village.
For the fifth time the water tub of
Noah ClOugh at West Mt Vernon, has
been blown up. On Wednesday night,
at about 11.45, there was mighty ex-
plosion at the watering tub near
Clough's dwelling, blowing in a number
Of windows, and breaking the glass out
of several nearby dwellings,. At the
village, three mile away, it sounded like
an earthquake and gave a mighty
shaking up to the whole valley. The
next morning it was found that the
tub and shed had been blown to at
toms. Detective Ballou Of Lewiston
was sent for to investigate the matter,
and arrived in town, Friday. He called
on number of people, Saturday, with
Mr.. Clough, making close inquiry and
endeavoring to get a starting point
The detective and Mr.. Clough were
again at the village on Monday, and
are still on the search. Some people
think they know who did the job, but
evidence comes in slow. A town meet
ing has been called for April s, to see
what action the citizens will take to
discover the law breaker The last ex-
plcsion has started an unusual feeling
in the case.
Miss Caro- Jacobs is sick at Kent's
Hill with mumps. Mrs. Jacobs has
gone to Kent's Hill to care for her
daughter.
Mrs John Fairbanks is very i'll with
la grippe.
Miss Lora A. Tyler had some fine
looking Mayflowers at her home, Mon
day.
The ice is out of the upper part of the
lake at Mt. Vernon village, which is
earlier than was ever known by per-
sons about here before.
William NJ. Tyler of this village, who
has been i'll several weeks will go to
| the Central Maine General Hospital at
Lewiston, this week, by advice of his
physician. to get the opinion of the
medical staff at the hospital. His case
is very singular one.
Easter Sabbath was observed in Mt.
Vernon by sermons and music appro-
| pirate for the occasion. The two
| churches united at the Baptist church
| in the evening. There was speaking by
both pastors. music by the choir and
school and Rotations by Berta Cram
| and Gertrude French with violin duet
| by the Comstock sisters. It was very
| interesting and instructive.

which Congress is being frequently
asked to set aside. 1t is bills such as
thcse that President Roosevelt has
made the text for his several veto mes
sages of late.
Mr.. Stevens has all along been OPP
posed to the removal of these charges
of desertion and personally has scanned
legislation of that character very care
fully. The bills he has assented to are
very few indeed. However, the pres
sure for such legislation is always
great and the committee passes few
such bills on to the House at every
session of Congress.

to his lips when he fell from his chair
and lay stretched out on the floor of the
eating house, apparently dead.
The Chinese employees We're greatly
alarmed and ran into the street Shrek
ing excitedly that a man was make in
their place. Captain Parker, who hap
pened to be near by. went into the
restaurant and examined the man,
whom he found to be quite dead and
foaming at the mouth. He Immediate
ly telephoned for the patrol wagon and

vate c. G. Brewer of Hawkins county
returning home from service in the ISL
and of Samar, Philippines, served In a
company of the Ninth Infantry, direct
ly under General Smith for six months
and was on the island when General
Smith issued the order to kill all horses
and cows, burn all houses and Kill all
men, women and children who ran from
the soldiers.
'Of course, this was about the same
as ordering the soldiers to kill every
one, as there were very few, especially
women and children, who would not
rum" said Private Brewer. "The order
caused considerable dissatisfaction
among the men, as IL made them feel
like murderers to shoot down dele Sc
less women and children, but after the
massacre Of the men OF Company e,
Ninth Regiment, the boys became re-
vengeful. Forty-siX soldiers were kill
ed in that massacre. and $50 Insurgents.
The cook of the company killed 10 with
cleaver, and one fellow killed nine
with a baseball bat. He came back on
the same vessel with me, and still had
his bloody bat as a souvenir"
In answer to question, Private
Brewer said he saw many cases of the
water cure" punishment. and said it
was extremely brutal
Private Brewer declared that the
practice was exceedingly common. and
was more terrible than the old prac-
tice of hanging by the thumbs. He saw
a woms n. the wife of an insurgent
leader, hanged by the arms all night
to make her tell where her husband
was. She was suspended six hours.
and then given time to rest. Finally
after hours of suffering she told where
her husband was and was released.
II was glad to get away" said Pri-
vate Brewer. II would not take any
thing for my experience. but I don't
want TO try II again"
