RIVAL RALLIES.
Biddeford Had Two Mass Meetings
Last Evening.

Biddeford, Me-, Sept. 5.--Electioneer-
ing for the county and State tickets
became picturesque here tonight
through rival rallies, that of the Re
publicans being held in the Opera
house, while the Prohibitionists and
Democrats united in mass meeting in
City square. Joseph H. Manley of Az
gusta, was expected to talk to the Re-
publieans, but Judge A. G. Andrews
of that city took his place and Walter
G. Emerson of Portland, was the other
speaker.
The Democratic and Prohibitionist
speakers were Rev. j. j. Hull of Wis
consin. and Lawyer George +. Haley of
this city, for the Prohibitionists. and
Daniel Cote and Henry L. Lord for the
Democrats. The Republican speakers
gave consideration to national issues
only, while those at the open air meet
ing devoted their attention entirely to
local politics, chiefly on the non-en-
forcement of the prohibitory law in the
county. The reason the Prohibition
lists joined with the Democrats was be-
cause they have united forces for coun-
ty officers.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 5.-There is a

being erected for the President TO the
west of the White House
They are described as temporary, but

built of red brick. without any arcnitec-

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Many Repairs and Alterations Have
Been Made During Vacation.

The High school has never been so
well fitted and equipped for the open
ing of Il term of school as il will be ON
the completion of the improvements
which have been going on during the
summer vacation. During the winters
of many years the darkness of the
rooms. caused by the heavy growth OF
trees surrounding the building and the
insufficient lighting of the rooms, have
made it necessary TO cut short the
school hours many times and thereby
lose valuable time.
The building was formerly partially
lighted by gas but now the entire
building is wired for electricity and
some so electric lights added. More
gas burners with new chandeliers have
been put in the large rooms on the
first and second floors and it is thougat
that these. with the putting in of three
large windows on the first floor, will
give sufficient light so that the school
work may be continued through the
the late hours of the afternoon. Elk
tensive alterations are also noticed III

CHAIRMAN SIMPSON
Predicts Republican Victory in State
Election.

The Republicans will carry Maine
en- Monday by plurality of from 15,-
600 10 i 0G0''
This is the estimate of Mondays cleo
ton which was made by Chairman r.
NJ. Simpson of the Republican State
committee to reporter today. The
work of the campaign is now practical :
ly completed and but little remains to
be done save to get the voters out at
the polls on Monday. The total vote at
the time of the Presidential election
two years ago was 117,SIS. 1t is hardly
expected that these figures viii be
equalied next Monday. This is put
down to the general prosperity which
prevails throughout the State and the
feeling that the Republicans are GER
tain or winning any way The Reppib-
lican plurality in Maine two years ago
vas $4,000.
For the past 20 years" said one pol
tician, Friday, in discussing the situa-
ION, Maine has averaged a Republic
an majority of about 12.G00. 1t is safe
, sag that this average will be in
'reased on Monday from 5000 to 5000
-otes. Although the campaign this
Jipmer has not been SO strenuous as
oihe which have beer conducted in the
asst, good deal of work has been
lore.
Maine has been visited by Is foreign
speakers, many of them Republicans of
national prominence. They have made As
speeches on an average of three in each
county in the State. In addition to this
ihere has been a large number of local
speakers who have held in the neighbor-
hood of 200 meetings. In all about $50
rallies have been held throughout the
state. The campaign has practically
been confined TO these meetings and but
little political literature has been sent
oat. Flag raisings also have been few
and far between.

MOLINEUX CASE.
zEsIi
His Counsel Say They Will
Acquit Him.
II
Some of the States Witnesses Have
Mysteriously Disappeared.
The Trial to Come Up Early in
.NN October.

New York, Sept. 5.-There will be no
further delay in the trial OF Roland r.
Molineuxl because of Justice Barrett s
Illness, even though ne may not have
sufficiently recovered from it to proceed
with the case when il is called the first
week in October.
According to Barlow S. Weeks of
Weeks g. Rattle. counsel for Molineux,
another judge will be appointed, in the
event of Justice Barretts continued in
disposition, and the famous case will
proceed as scheduled.
The attorneys for the prisoner are
confident ne will be indicated of the
charge OF poisoning Mrs. Katherine j.
Adams, but Assistant District Attorney
Osborne is equally positive that the
state will secure Mollineux's conviction.
The decision of the Court of Appeals
wifi prevent the district attorney from
introducing the Barnet letters. Aside
from this advantage certain important
witnesses have moved away-one or
two beyond the jurisdiction of the state
courts.
Mamie Melando who reluctantly
swore on the stand that she saw rob-
ins-egg blre paper in MolineuX's desk
in the Newark factory, is alleged to
have left the state.
Messrs. Weeks & Battle are said to
have discovered new evidence that
points convincingly to Molineux's in
nocence. Asst. Dist. Atty. Osborne adj
mitted, today, that there We're many
difficulties for him to overcome before
he could expect to get a verdict at the
next trial.
