selves at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 28.-An in
junction was served on the directors
of the chamber of commerce Wednes-
day afternoon, while they were in ses-
sion, restraining them from taking
action as a body on the charges made
by the market committee against the
commission firm of Edwards, Wood &
Co of Minneapolis.
The directors of the chamber refuse
to give out the details of the case,
but 1t is said that the trouble was
caused by the sale of membership
tickets made by the firm to e. l..
Brown.
This action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the committee on mar
kets, which charged the firm in ques-
tion with making false reports.
In asking for the injunction the
memb ers of the firm say certificates of
membership to the chamber are re-
garded as property to be bought and
sold at quoted value.

n Washington Dispatch says:
Land Commissioner Hermann APP
proved the proposition recently made
by mem bers of the Minnesota delega-
Lion for an early survey of the unap-
proprai ed public lands in the state.
A bill will soon be offered in the
house appropriating $4,000 for the
survey of these lands.
1t is advocated by the surveyor gen.
eral, who directed the attention of
Minnesota members to the desirable
ity of having the lands in the state
surveyed and made available for en-
try as soon us possible.
Commissioner Hermann said that
the work of completing surveys IN
Minnesota can be completed in one
season if an adequate sum is made
available for the purpose. The tlnal
report of lie party now surveying the
swamp lands in the northern part OF
Minnesota has not yet been received.
Commissioner Hermann expects re-
mort in the near future on which TO
base his findings as to whether any
lands selected by the state have been
improperly classified in the swamp

GOING EAST.
Proposed Change Of Time Ia Our
Early Train.
Some Of the Advantages It Offers the
Travelling Public.

in our issue oil Saturday, attention
Vas called TO the change OF time in
the new train running easi from South
Gardiner 10 Bangor, and tie complete
time BILE was printed as il vii, 20
into effect or Monday, Oct i3. was
published. Leaving South Gardiner at
$40 A. NJ, this train will go through
TO Bangor ia a little less than three
houlS-rraching that city at pes s. "a.
Il will leave Augusta AT 6.2I, r.
stunning, ii viii leave Bangor AT $50
o'clock, arriving at Augusta al i.05
and reaching South Gardiner at I.30.
The convenience and importance of
this train in giving the people OF the
Kennebec Valley desirable connections
with the East cannot be overestimatei.
Our people owe it to the Maine Cen
trail Railroad 10 SHOW ,heir apprecia
ton Of this tlain by giving it the gen.
erous patronage it deserves.
AS matters now stand. an Augusta
citizen can leave here at $50 in the
morning, have hours and 35 min
utes in Bangor and be back home
again at 7.05. being thus enabled to
get both his breakfast and supper at
home.
Not only this, but our Electric road
makes this service also available for
Winthrop. Manchester and Togus
people.
A special value of this train will
be found not merely in the splendid
service afforded between South Gar
diner and Bangor, but also in the ex-
cellent connections it affords with
other eastern points and stations on
he back route. A connection is made
at Waterville at S.25 A. Nj. for Oak
land: at 9.15 for Oakland. all stations
on the Somerset railroad, Belgrade
Readfield. Maranacook, Winthrop
Monmouth and Leeds Junction. 1t
also connects at Burnham with the
$50 A. nj. train for all stations on the
Belfast branch. arriving in Belfast al
1905 A. NJ; at Newport with the S.15
A. NJ train for all stations on the
Dexter branch, arriving at FOxcroft
at 9.15 A. NJ. and affording good
connection with Greenville. 1t reaches
Bangor in ample season to connect
With the 10 A. NJ. train for all sta
ions on the Bar Harbor branch.
IN the afternoon. connections with
Bangor from all stations on the Bucks
port branch. leaving Bucksport at
p. NJ; from all stations between Old
Town and Bangor, leaving Old Town
at $50 p. NJ; at Newport from all
stations on the Dexter branch, leav-
ing Foxcroft at 40 p. NJ; at Water
vile. from Leeds Junction. Monmouth
Winthrop. MaranacOok. Readfield. Bel
grade, Oakland. and all stations on
the Somerset road.
The advantages offered by this SER
vice are so numerous that special
effort should be made to give it such
patronage as will fully justify the
Maine Central in maintaining it.
