WATERVILLE.
WANT A COUNTY FAIR?
1t So, Attend the Meeting, at Oakland,
Saturday, Sept. 10.

The Waterville & Oakland Railroad
management cordially invite the Pat
rons in this vicinity to meet in their
hall on the shore of Snow pond in Oak
land, Saturday, Sept. 10. for a CONFER
ence as to the ACCESSIBILITY of forming
a county agricultural society to hold a
fair on the grounds of the Central
Maine track. Ii, d ..5- l-tlJi
All who favor this project, whether
they belong to the Patrons Of Husban-
dry or not. are cordially invited to meet
with us on the occasion. The road
will give half fare for all who attend
the meeting. Half fare will also be Civ
en- on the Wiscasset, Waterville &
Pennington Road. "
Bring your baskets for picnic din
ner in the waiting room at noon. COT
fee will be furnished free. Be sure to
bring the ladies' as it is hoped to make
this a pleasant social occasion All pat
rons are requested to wear their
badges. The exercises will commence
at 1880 in the forenoon"
Such is the invitation that has been
sent out to the Oranges at Winslow,
Fairfield, Clinton. Vassalboro, Sidney
and Oakland, as it is thought that these
might be more particularly interested.
But as will be seen the invitation lis
made general for all Patrons and others
interested. This is the beginning of
what may mean a great deal to all the
farmers and business men in this vi
cinity. The object is to start a good
big fair for this section of the State
There is no idea of running in opposi-
ton to either the Lewiston or Bangor
fairs but at present to make it a rous-
! ing county fair. There may be some
interesting developments later, but at
present just the first step will be taken,
1t is hoped that there may be a large
number present to talk the whole mat
ter over. The Electric Road will man.
age the affair and stand the burden of
! what expense there may be. A good
deal of enjoyment will be mixed with
the business, so that every one may be
sure of very pleasant day at any rate
| AS it is now, the farmers in this vi
entity have no good fair that is conven-
lent for them and they are feeling the
effects of this lack. With a good county
fair held here in the city a very large
number would be in easy reach Of it
ductive of great deal Of profit and en-
tertainment would doubtless result.
There are many things to be dis
cussed and decided and an early start
is being made so a fair can be held,
next fall, and be good one. 1t rather
looks as if Waterville would certainly
have fair, next year, although the ex-
act nature of 1t is in doubt. This con-
ference that is now arranged, will prob
ably decide many questions that are in
the way of some of the plans.
So every farmer who can possibly do
so, should plan to attend this meeting,
as it will doubtless mean a great deal
to the agricultural interests in this vi
cinity. The connection between it and
the Lewiston fair may be closer than
some people think, or there may be no
connection at all. But the start will
be made ut any rate and everyone in
terested should To there to see it off.

Smoke Slowly and Avoid Cancer.
New York PreSS.)

From the medical profession comes
another warning TO smokers. If you
wish tc avoid tobacco cancer don't
smoke fast After careful observation
it has been practically determined that
this form of cancer is caused by the
ir, itation resulting from the heat OF
the cigar or pipe. Men who smoke
lons-stemmed pipes it is said. do not
have cancer. no matter now much they
smoke, while those who indulge in
cigars or short-stemmed pipes are
afflicted with these malignant Srowths.
Tobacco cancer caused the death of
General Grant. He was an inveterate
smoker and he smoked very fast. AT
the battle of Shiloh he is said to have
consumed fifty cigars In smoking a
large number of cigars in a short time
the tongue is irritated by excessive
heat, and in time cancer is the result.

& ATTACK ON MAGELSSEN.
Another Account Of Outrage and Make
believe Turkish Investigation.

Berlin, Sept S-The SEgyptian Ga
zette published at Alexandria, Egypt,
mas published details regarding the re-
cent attack on United States Vice Con-
s;ll Magessen. 1t says Mr., Magelssen
was riding home in hired carriage in
the evening, when. on passing a street
near the Ras Beirut Ia place about
three miles from Beirut on which stand
the buildings of the American missioni
he heard sounds of pistol firing. He
turned .arOund to see whence the shots
came and bullet whiZZed past his
face. The vice consul at once had the
carriage stopped and jumped out to dis
cover his assai!ant, but could see no
one.
The following day he went to the
government office. where he met the
Italian consul and the Austrian consult
who had come to complain aboaf
hurglaries in their houses The sgdE-
ernpr ordered an investigation OF tn g
attack on Mr.. MIgelssen, but the only
result was the arrest of a young Chris
tan who had attended Il marriage on
the previous night and in whose posses
sion VAS found Il toy pistol. The Amer
lcan vice consul llluiSilllltlF refused 10
accept the arrest Of this man and de-
cided to visit his brother in law, the
cofsul general. who is staying in the
mountains to the forth of Beirut.
The Egyptian Gazette mentions that
three months before, MIR Mageissen WAS
attacked by men in Turkish uniforms,
but, whom by his strength he put to
flight. 1t adds that there is little public
safety in Beirut and that it is very dam
gerous for Europeans to appear on the
stree 1T night. Murder and pillage are
daily occurrences and many families
have therefore moved to Egypt.

CANINE prevails in the district of
kius!icvo and the population Is going

AN reports from the vilayet OF Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and $4,000
Bulgarian inhabitants are believed to
have been massacrad by the Turks and
every Bulgarian village in the vilayet
has been destroyed. The refugees in
the mountains are dying of starvation
by tho thousands. 1t is impossible to
obtain precise figures. The revolution :
AIRY headquarters estimate that 10000
bulgarian mon. women and children
have been killed. while at least the
same number of refugees are slowly
perishirg of hunger. In official circles
these figures are regarded as an UNDER
estimate and officials incline to the be-
lief that the number of massacred eX-
ceeds 10000. The Turks are apparently
determined to exterminate the entire
Bulgarian population of the vilayet.
IN government circles here the sit
nution is viewed with increasing alarm.
1t is reliably reported that the Turkish
forces in Macedonia number 100000. Il
is consi Tered impossible that such a
force has been assembled merely to
crush the rebellion. 1t is feared that
the Sultan is meditating an attack on
Bulgaria
According To Il telegram from Con-
stantuople the Porte has issued an
unconditional order that all European
correspondents must leave Macedonia
