IN idle MOMENTS.

A Navarro livery man has been
bunco game. A we'll dressed man of
good appearance hired horse and
sleigh on Wednesday morning and be-
fore driving away managed to borrow
a good overcoat to be used during
the ride.
Later in the same morning the
horse and sleigh returned to the sta
BILE unattended. There was no man
no lap robe, no blanket and no over
coat In hiring the sleigh the man
said that he was going to ,Justus. The
mayor of Navarro hopes he will. A
telephone message to Canton from the
mayor of Navarro askes that II the
local police happen to run across a
man answering his description, they
hold him. -pl
The Johnny Reb' spirit Is still
very much alive in the hearts of some
southerners, as Pliny G. Bowen, of
Akron, realizes since reading a letter
he recently received Some time ago
Mr.. Bowen sent an article on John
Brown to the Inland, telling Of the
life of the great AbolitioRist, while
he was resident of Akron. In sign
ing his name, Bowen was made to read
Brown" and so appeared in the In
land
A southern reader, evidently believ-
ing that Mr.. Bowen Is a descendent of
John Brown, has sent him the follow

SPECIAL FOOTBALL TRAIN
Will Leave at Noon, Running Straight
Through to Orono.

The special football train for the
Name Colby game will leave here at Il
o'clock sharp, today, and will run
straight through to Orono, instead OF
stopping in Bangor This will be much
more convenient than making the trip
by electrics, a thing that good many
have objected to. The train will have
to leave exactly on the dot in order to
make connection. Four stops will be
made-Burnham, Pittsfield. Newport
and Eangor-and they will all be very
brief, hut long enough to allow any one
to board the train who desires. 1t is
expected that the trip will be made in
one and one-half hours. The fair for
the round trip will be $1.25 and tickets
will be good only on the special. The
train will return Immediately after the
game. cu
1t will be advisable for every one to
get their tickets as early as possible as
there will be a grand rush just before
the train starts and some may not be
able to get tickets. There will be big
delegation from the student body and
large number Of the alumni and citi-
zens are going. "A party will also come
I'D from Augusta to join the special
here. Hf
Colby will have her regular team
with the exception of Washbourne. The
men are perhaps not in so good condi-
ton as before the Bowdoin game but
they are in good shape and capable of
putting up a pretty stiff game. The
general opinion outside the college
seems to be that the chances are about
even and that the game will be the
best of the year in Maine.

Mrs Martha A. Smell. wife OF the
late Judge William B. Smell OF Wash
ington. d. c., died. early Friday morn
Ing. at the home Of her daughter, Mrs.
F. c. Thayer. Main street. She had
been In her usual health until suddenly
attacked by disease Of the heart
which quickly resulted in death.
Mrs. Smell was born in Monmouth.
q years ago, her maiden name being
Martha A. Pray. She was married
there in 1S47, to William b. Smell. They
later lived in Winthrop and Fairfield
and when the Rebellion broke out Mr..
Smell raised a company which became
the 18th Maine. Two Of their three chill
dren died during the war.
Mr.. Smell was. in 1870, appointed the
first police judge Of Washington, ID. c.,
by President Grant and with Mrs. Smell
went there to assume his duties. He
served as judge for something like Is
years. The busiest part of Mrs SMELLS
life was, therefore spent at the nations
Capital, where she was prominent
figure. She was especially Interested
In charatible work and was promi-
nent worker and one of the leaders in
eAC <AooOSidtCu SHdTItltS Vi WdSnlnR-
ton.
Judge Smell died in 1880 and two years
later Mrs. Smell came to Waterville to
reside with her daughter.
Mrs. Smell was a woman of much
more than usual mental ability. She
took much interest in politics and was
thoroughly posted on all events of i'm
portance. She wrote with great force
and clearness, being a keen observer
and very clear thinker.
Mrs. Smell lived very busy and use
full life. She was possessed OF a charm
ing disposition, being warm hearted
and generous. She was ever ready to
help ana her unusual ability always
made her very valuable worker. She
was very fond of young people and
those who called her friend were par
ticularly fortunate.
She will be sincerely mOurned by a
very large circle of friends in this vi
cinity made during the earlier years of
aer life and during her last residence
here. Mrs. Thayer. with whom she
lived here, is the only surviving child.

increases as the days pass. Mrs. Dos

me method that will be satisfactory

some method that will be satisfactory
to all.
The idea seemed to be to offer prizes
to amateurs no that people in the vicin-
.ty OF the city might be induced to
compete. This plan was first suggested
by f. p. Mayo, editor OF the Turf.
Farm and Home, who was obliged to
be absent from the meeting but who
sent letter embodying his views. He
himself has offered ~ yearly suDscrfp-
lions for prizes.
Judging from the sentiment that has
already been manifested the business
men will offer fine list OF special
prizes either in cash or merchandise.
As has been stated this convention is
a sort of trial trip" for the city and
there Is general desire to make 1t so
successful that many more Will wont
to come. When the facilities ana au-
vantages of the city for conventions
are well known every one is sure that II
will get fts full share Of them.
The plans for the reception are pro-
crossing very favorably indeed. This
will be held in the rooms OF the city
council. All the furniture will be re-
moved and the two rooms thrown into
one which will afford ample room. Inc
decorations will be in charge OF Mr..
Redington so they are expected to DC
very fine The music. which Will be
furnished by Halls orchestra, Will be
feature as the organization VIII be en-
larged to concert strength and this
means something as good as can De
obtained in the State.
One Of the little things that II is
hoped will add to the success of the
conference is the committee appointed
to aid the exhibitors. There will be
countless little details, doubtless, that
would be rather serious or strangers
in the city but which can be taken care
Of easily enough by citizens. 1t is these
that the committee will look after and
will be ready to afford any assistance
in it's power. 1t is hoped that this will
make the work of the exhibitors easier.
Other things viii probably suggest
themselves as the time draws near and
these will be attended to. Another
meeting of the board will probably be
held before the conference.
