Merritt w. Corey Drowned

An exceedingly sad accident occurred
at the slip of the Skowhegan Pulp mill,
tuesday morning, by which Merritt W.
Corey fell into the water from cake of
ice and was swept over the falls and
drowned.
The ice from above the mill went out
in the night, leaving along the bank on
the front of the slip upon which logs are
drawn up into the mill and on the gate
way heavy cakes and masses of ice. The
water was so high in the morning that
the mill could not run to advantage and
c. E. Young, the superintendent told
the men that they could go out and work
off this ice. Mr.. Corey with Robert
Burpee, Lester Knights, Mendon Salley
and Mr.. Bigelow took tools and went
out to work off these large cakes and
masses of ice. 1t appears that Mr.. Corey
and another man were at work on very
large piece of ice, some ID feet in length
and breadth that rested on the bulk
head. They were at work breaking it in
two pieces in order to get it off. APP
parently 1t yielded to their work sooner
than Mr.. Corey expected and when the
cake was broken in two parts and one
tipped into the strong current Mr.. Corey
lost his balance and went with it into
the water He chung to it for moment
and then threw himself from it towards
the mill. Mr.. Bigelow who was nearest
him reached toward him with "Peavey"
that he had in his hand but Mr.. Corey
was unable to grasp it aud was swept
over the dam by the resistless current
aud down the rapidly running river.
Mr.. Young who was on the bridge at the
time could just distinguish his body as it
passed swiftly through the running water.
The mill crew and others with boats
Immediately began the search for the
body along the river and at the Eddy.
Mr.. Corey was 80 years of age and
leaves wife but no children. His wife
was formerly Mrs. Burpee and she has
a son Robert who worked in the pulp
mill with Mr.. Corey. She is sister to
Mrs. Young, wife of the superintendent
of the mill They came here from WASH
burn, Aroostook County, about years
ago and Mr.. Corey has worked in the
pulp mill two and one half years. He
was an experienced, capable, careful man
and the work he was engaged in was
not supposed to be hazardous but he
evidently made miscalculation in some
way and was thrown where help could
not reach him.

subject agitatng the whole country and
In many states large fines are imposed
for splitting upon sidewalks, or in public

habit, but the danger that menaces the
public from contagious diseases, especial
~ that of tuberculosis. We, the women of
Skowhegan, earnestly desire that all citi-

see what can be done in our town, tow

We have just received the following
telegram which fulfils our predictions
that the Poland Mills would be In full
operations by March first:
"Poland Mills have been running successfully
for two days, crushing fully as much as claim
ed, using ore delivered to mill from various
points OF mine in ordinary course of mining.
Ore running better than represented; concen-
trates running over fifty dollars per ton, maxi
ing better saving of plates than expected; will
require some time before plant is adjusted to
secure best results. Plenty of water, Supt.
Stone reports. Everything very satisfactory.

As shown by the above our other pre-
dctions in connection with the operation
of the Mill are more than fulfilled.

POLITICAL CALENDAR.
Republican State convention, at
Wichita, Wednesday, May %, 1902.

The denomination of Congressman
Reeder at Norton will be generally
recognized as a wise and fair course
for the Sixth district TO pursue. The
opposition to him was purely political
and personal, and was apparently
aimed more at his supporters than at
Reeder himself. Since entering the
house four years ago, Mr.. Reeder has
developed into a useful and valuable
member, and is recognized as high
authority on matters of irrigation, in
which Kansas and the West are vital
ly interested. His denomination also
emphasizes the fact that Kansas is
learning the lesson from older and
stronger states that the only way to
have representation in Congress that
amounts TO anything is to first elect
good men and then keep them there.
