Fnents. 200. The marketing of cattle thus
Tar this week shows an increase of about
200 over the same time last week and a de-
crease of $50, compared with the corre-
spending time year ago. The receipts to-
day were nearly 200 smaller than a week
ago and over 500 smaller than year ago.
There was little better proportion of good
cattle in the arrivals. and some were as
good or better than any represented here
for a long time. There was a continued
steady to strong demand for the fat stock
OF good quality. and. with hardly enough
OF that kind to supply orders. the market
was active. and in the steer line especially
values were probably the highest of the
season thus far, and. in fact. the top price
was the highest obtained for mora than a
single bullock since 1882. There was no i'm
provement in the demand for cattle that
lacked quality or flesh, and they continue
more or less difficult to sell at current
prices, which indicates q weaker tendency
IN the mar yet for that class. There was a
strong ma<ket for the best feeding cattle,
but ordinary stockers were as difficult to
sell as they have been recently. The sup
ply OF fat stock was exhausted In good
season. and the market closed in a healthy
condition for the class. The highest price
paid for steers to-day was $3.50, heifers sold
as high as $50 and cows SOS Quotations:

The Lewiston Journal is hysterical in
IFS continuous cries for re-submission,
but for the life of US we cannot conceive
what it wants re-submission for. 1t as
serts that it is psnacea for all the ills
Of municipal, county and state politics,
but it fails, to our mind, to deduee one
argument in its favor from the stand.
point of prohibition. The Democratic
party speaks out for re-submission in
order to accomplish the repeal of the
law. 1t has the merit OF consistency,
minus quantity in the Journals order Of
procedure upon this issue. Will the
Journal please advise US what earthly
good the re-submission of the prohibitory
amendment to the Maine constitution can
accomplish. We can see how those who
do not believe In prohibition can clamor
for re-submission but for any man, who
believes that prohibition is the correct
principle of law to apply to the evil of
rumselling like all other evils, to agonize
about re-submission, six days in the
week, is mystery to a countryman.

A terrible tragedy occurred in Wilton,
Franklin County, Tuesday last. Herbert
Holbrook and his wife Josie, were visit
ing at the home of Holbrook's father
and occupied room in the second story
of the house. About o'clock, Tuesday
morning, three shots from a revolver
were fired and Mrs. Holbrook was found
with wound in her head which caused
her death in a few hours. Holbrook
claims that she attacked him firing at
him with the revolver and then turned
it on herself with the fatal result. He
was arrested, arraigned and held to
await the action of the grand jury. Two
empty whiskey bottles and one partly
filled, were found in the room where the
tragedy occurred. There is little room
for doubt that the shooting was done by
the man.

The REPORTER has always been
squarely in favor of prohibition and in
favor of its enforcement by officers of
Of the law. 1t has not intended to be
historical In the matter and has not in
tended to keep sin the air" all the time /;
bat we believe it is matter of the
greatest public Importance, and purpose
to maintain firm stand In our position,
heretofore token, in favor of the observ-
ance of law. To this end we shall do all
10 our power to help Sherff-elect Lang,
when he enters upon the duties of his
Office, In every effort he shall make to
adequately and vigorously enforce the
provisions of the prohibitory law. That
he belongs to party other than the one
whose principles the REPORTER advo-
Gates, will make not the slightest differ
ence. Prompt, vigorous, continuous
enforcement of the prohibitory law in
every part of the county is Republican
doctrine in Somerset. We stand square,
ly by this declaration and are ready to
support any official and all officials
who may enter upon this work, to the
best Of our ability. We believe all citi-
zans who have the good of the county
and the best interests of the people of
the county at heart, will stand by Mr..
Lang in this work which he has pledged
himself to enter upon.

Dear Sir: If you want your paint to

should use lead and zinc,
You can mix your own, or buy Devoe,
as you like The results will not be the
same, however. Devoe lead and zinc is

chinery does it. Hand work cant com
pete with machine. work, either in cost
or thoroughness. Mixing by hand is
imperfect mixing; and zinc is peculiarly
hard to mix; wants grinding.
Lead and oil is honest paint; but less
durable. Lead is tender and zinc is
tough. The proper mixture ground to
