BRYAN IN MAINE.
The Ex-Presidential Candidate Speaks 1t
Augusta on Issues Which Maine
Voten Should Consider.

Augusta, Me-, July 26.-An i'm
mense crowd warmly greeted Mr..
Bryan and his party when they ar
rived here yesterday afternoon. The
entire party, with the exception Of
Mr.. Bryan, was driven to the city
hall, which was filled with citizens
desiring to hear the speaker. The
democratic candidate for governor,
Samuel W. Gould, was the first
speaker. Charles II. Hamlin, of Bos-
ton, followed Mr.. Gould and then
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee,
spoke briefly. Later Mr.. Bryan came
to the city hall and was given a
tremendous ovation. In his address
he referred to the leading issues
which the voters of Maine should
consider between now and election
day. He said that Congressman
Iittlefed, thinking that the repub-
ican party had done wrong, along
with Congressman Mccall, of Massa-
chusetts, had voted against 1t on
party measures. Mr.. McKinley's
last speech, he said, was confess
sion that the high tariff must be
lowered.
Mr.. Bryan said he was glad to
come to Maine because the demo-
Gratis of this state were not afraid
to stand up for the Kansas City
platform and let the whole world
know that they are willing to abide
by the principles Of that platform.
He then went into discussion OF
questions which he regards as i'm
portant. He spoke against the gold
standard and charged that that sys-
TEN of finance was created by the
republican party while it was com
mitted to the doctrine of interna-
tional bimetalism.

the rain continues to descend in tor
rents as far east as Weathcrford.

ever known.
Several washouts have occurred

Railroad officials report that as
fast as the track has been washed

Gas WELL Is ENDED.
Abandonment Of Hole No. 2 With
Drill in Bottom,

The gas well has been abandoned.
This was decided last week and
work has been suspended. Contract
or Nickerson has worked several days
trying to recover the drill in vain.
The well caved in faster than he
could bail it out and his tools which
had been down to the drill a week ago
were today 40 feet above it and not
gaining an inch. President Kane
and Secretary Malott Of the company
went out to the well and it was agreed
to quit. He will pull out the casing
and give it up.
The first well was 1910 feet deep;
for it was collected $S,246; the second
one l,4OO feet and there was collected
1892; total t4,7SS. In the treasury
is $500 to be given back to subscrib.
ers as dividend. The 5000 worth Of
casing is included in the cost Of the
two wells, 81, 4SS, but it will be taken
BY Nickerson at three-iourths cost in
payment on the second we'll.
On the second well only 1880 feet
is to be paid for at $3.50 a foot, or
$l,S75. Other expenses will bring its
cost to about $4,000.
The experiment has at least shown
what is under this section OF the
earth iol 1,400 feet.
Mr.. Nickerson will put down well
for the Belle Springs company and
perhaps dig one at Herington before
leaving the county.

STATEHOOD BILL DELAYED.

A Washington dispatch to the st.
Louis GloDe-Democrat says that Speak
err Henderson has changed front again
on the question of consideration of the
bill admitting Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico to statehood. Last week
he said that he would allow the bill to
be called up as a privileged motion. in
stead of fixing a day for its considera-
ton. The bill is now on the calendar
as privileged, and today a movement
was started by the delegates from the
three territories to have 1t called up
tomorrow ahead of the Cuban recipro-
city bill. While the matter was under
consideration the speaker sent for Mr..
Knox, chairman of the house commit
tee on territories. and announced that
he had decided to fix a date for the
consideration of the bill. He will an
nounce the date in a lew days, and
assured Mr.. Knox that the bill would
be considered in ample time to have
it sent to the senate without danger of
having 1t killed there for lack of time
for its discussion at the present SEES
sion. Chairman Knox informed the
speaker that a sufficient number of
votes had been pledged to secure he
passage of the bill by a good majority.
