Fire at Cascade.

Cascade, Jan. Am alarm of fire
last night about 9 o'clock brought all
the citizens out of doors and the glare
CT the flames drew them to the scene of
the blaze. 1t proved to be the Farmers
creamery plant on the outskirts of the
city and by the time the fire department
and other citizens arrived the structure
was beyond saving. Indeed the entire
interior was a roaring furnace and the
flames were bursting thru the roof be-
fore the fire was discovered.
The fire was said to have been caused
by defective chimney and burned
fiercely until only the ruins of once
most prosperous plant remained. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000, which
is partly covered by an insurance Of
$1,000.

afflicted with this epidemic, instead Of
getting well as they ought to, will have

A SPANISH COUNT CURED OF LA GRIPPE!

NEARLY everybody is having Ia
M grippe again. 1t resembles some
y what in the beginning severe
cold. A chill or cold spell is followed by
aching bones, sore throat, headache,
cough, and general weakness. Its course
may be quite slight or severe, but in
either case it nearly always leaves one
in miserable condition.
Unless Peruna is taken It will DO
weeks or months before q person re-
gains his usual health. II the victim is
fortunate enough to begin the use Of
Peruna at the commencement Of the
attack the course Of the grip is much
shortened, and the system is left in =
natural state.
People who have had Ia grippe, but
are still suffering from the after-effects,
should not neglect to take Peruna, as it
will promptly restore them to health.

FAIRFIELD TO SHAWMUT.
Company Organized to Build Electric
Road, This Spring.

A meeting of those interested in the
construction of an electric road from
Fairfield to Shawmut was held, last
evening, in the office of Hon. w. Il.
Haines for the purpose of organizing.
The following officers were elected:
President, Amos F. Gerald; treasurer,
Hon. w. r. Haines; clerk, Harvey d.
Eaton; directors, A. r. Gerald, Hon. w.
r. Haines and G. Fred Terry. The
capital stock is 100000.
The latest electric road is being back
ed wholly by local men, Mr.. Gerald,
after having engineered roads all over
the State, coming back to his home and
starting point to build one more. The
road has been talked up for several
years and almost every spring it has
been rumored that the work would GER
tainly begin, but has not materialized.
But a short time ago, the announce
ment was made that the substantial
start had at last been made and that
the road would certainly be built, this
year. Other men beside those named
as officers are interested, but it is a
local affair and the men in it are as
good a guarantee as any one wants
that it will be success.
The actual work of construction Will
commence just as soon as possible, the
contracts for the rails and ties having
already been made. So there will be
two new electric roads building in this
vicinity, the coming summer, from
here to Oakland and this one from
Fairfield to Shawmut.

Jack, the City Hall Cat.

One night during the winter a gen.
tleman going into the City building
ran across a miserable little kitten
mewing piteously and apparently half
starved and frozen. He picked it up
and carried it in, turning it over to
City Marshal Harrington who fed ii
and gave it a warm bed for the night.
Rats and mice had entered the build
ing almost as soon as the foundations
had been covered and a cat was a
necessity in order to keep them in
bounds and the one that had been per-
forming this duty had just disap-
peared so the stray kitten fell into
the vacancy and became a fixture in
the building.
He had the whole range of the place
and might be on the stage in the City
hall one time and in the boiler room in
the basement a few minutes later.
There was bit of catnip for him in
the city marshal's office and larger
bit in the judges office that he might
spend more of his time there. There
was a nice arrangement to amuse him
down in the city electricians room and
a nice soft warm bed in the boiler
room. The stranger was named Jack
and 3hrivcd in great shape, being as
smart as a steel trap and as full of life
as a well fed, kindly used kitten ever
is, sharing his affections with every
one in the building but wisely refus-
ing to show any particular preference
for any one. AS he grew he picked up
many cute little tricks and contracted
no bad habits so that he soon came to
be known as a fine cat
Under the conditions it was but
natural that he should become rank
Republican. So when it was definite
ly known that there was to be q
sweeping change in the administration
perhaps it was not to be wondered at
that he should at last show a decided
preference and that for Judge Shaw,
the only official in the building who
was sure not to be changed. Jack
would not change his politics to save
his job and the wisdom of this was
soon apparent, for he received a hearty
invitation from Judge Shaw to move
up to his house and promptly accepted.
So Jack retired from public life with
his politics intact and is now the pet of
the family and perfectly content with
the quiet of peaceful home life. There
are strangers in the places where he
played, the catnip has disappeared,
the warm bed is no longer in the boiler
room. Don, the bull dog, wanders
about the corridors disconsolate over
the loss of his merry playmate and if
the truth were known may himself be
sick of public life. The places that
knew Jack know him no more but he
is content and is happy the live long
day with one from his many old
friends. Such is the history of Jack,
the City hall cat.

Mrs. Susan Leavitt.

Mrs. Susan Leavitt, resident of this
town for nearly SO years, died, Thurs
day morning, at her home on Bridge
street. Mrs. Leavitt had not been in
usual health for a number of weeks,
having been suffering from a felon on
her thumb, but her condition was not
considered serious until a few days
ago, when she contracted a severe cold,
which terminated in grip and typhoid
fever. Mrs. Leavitt was born in Bow
doinham, and was 76 years of age.
Her maiden name was Preble. She was
married. when quite young, to John
Leavitt. and to them five children were
born, Emma j., Frank A., Mary E., M.
Linnie and Caroline B. Leavitt. She is
survived by two children, Emma J..
Schumacher and Caroline B. Leavitt,
who were with her at the time of her
death. Mrs. Leavitt was greatly re-
spected and beloved by all who knew
her. She was a Staunch UniverSaliSt
all her life, and had always stood
for the church she loved SO much
Her death at this time seems particu-
larly sad, as her daughter, Emma, was
also very sick, suffering from an attack
of pneumonia. Mrs. Leavitt was a de-
voted wife and mother a good neigh
Dor and friend. Much sympathy is ex-
tended to the afflicted ones in their
great sorrow. The time for the funeral
has not as yet been decided upon.

Grand Secretary Dyer of Portland,
Grand Warden Merrill of Scion, and
Grand Representative Felker or Gin

A regular meeting was first held at
which the degree team of the Fa1rneld

Every one then adjourned to the

means to get together for a feed of

n1ent sprung a novelty at this meeting
that made a great hit. The Campbell
Stratton Co. was playing an engage
ment just across the street in the City
Opera house and two of the specially
artists. Messrs. Moore and Miller, were
struggled across to do a turn for the
special benefit of the Odd Fellows and
they did the thing right up brown, too,
for both of them are stars in their bust
ness.
The meeting was one of the most sue
cessful that has been held for long
time and was attended by one of the
largest crowds. Samaritan Lodge GER
tainly did herself proud as host on
this occasion.
