The Water Question.

Editors kennebec Journal:
The question of a pure water supply
is of more interest to the Workingmen
of our city than to othcrs-although
all must feel it's importance. The rich
and we'll do can, and have, protected
themselves and their children by buy
ing spring water to drink. People de-
pendent upon their day labor for a liv-
ing-especially those with large fam
lilies to support-have not been able to
do this, and it was largely among them
that the fearful run of typhoid fever
got in it's work. l shall vote Yes" at

practically every labOring man in Au

the case up. We found where he went
to Togus and then down to South
Gardiner. Going down to South Gardi-
ner, found that he had gone to Lewis
ton Went over there and got trace OF
him starting back to Augusta.
THAT was the last trace we could
get. There was L possibility that in
stead of coming back to Augusta, he
had gone to Portland. | was Of that
opinion and so went to Portland.
There the only way to get Il trace
of either team or man was TO visit the
different stables in the city which |
started out to do. The first stable thai
I visited I found the horse The man
had brought it there some nights
previous and told the hostler to have
the animal fed and ready to start at Q
o'clock the next morning, but he had
never come back after the rig. |
brought the horse back to Augusta, but

ReadfieId Grange Field Day.

Thursday, Aug 20, the day appointed
for field day by Readtield Grange, be
ing rainy, no meeting was held, and
the Grange failed to appoint the next
fair day for the meeting in case Of
rain. Friday proving a delightful day.
and rs Mr.. Austins family, With whom
the Grange was to meet, had made
preparations for entertaining large
company in their beautiful grove on
one side Of Monks hill, il was decided
to send an invitation 10 as many
Grange members as could be reached
and other friends in the neighhorhood
to meet them and enjoy the pleasure
of an afternoon in the grove.
The entrance to the grounds near the
residence was marked by two tan posts.
twined with golden roi and evergreen,
surmounted with two miniature flags.
Teams could drive through the field to
the grove. Arrangements had been
made for cooking on the ground and
cast potatoes and corn ana coffee We're
served. Comfortable seats We're pre-
vided and swings and hammocks added
to the comfort and enjoyment of those
present.
A large number of those present in
| the afternoon visited the summit of
Monks hill and viewed the unsurpassed
scenery from this elevation while many
marked their names on the slate stones
| and increased the pile that others had
| started before them. Many We're pres
ent as visitors from Massachusetts,
who are stopping in the vicinity.
The afternoon was passed quietly by
| the older people present in general con-
versation and restful pleasure. Many
| of the good old songs were sung and
| the voices of the summer visitors added
| to the pleasure Of this part OF the en-
tertainment.
Miss Austin had announced prizes for
those finding the largest number of
| four-leaved clover The result gave
the first prize a souvenir badge, pre-
sented by Mrs. f. w. Hunt of Merose
Mass, to Elmer Berry, who presented
eight our-leaVed clover plants. The
second was presented to Beth Haines
of Waterville. Who had seven. This
prize was a souvenir glass paper rest
containing a fine picture of the churcf
at East Readfield. Edith Morrow came
next, with six clover plants, and other:
had a less number.
Mr.. Austin's family did all in thei
power to make the occasion ple2san
and profitable to all present and ;
hearty vote of thanks was extended t.
them by the company. Mr.. Austin, wh'
is advanced in years is unable to lool
; after the interests of this large an,
valuable farm, and it is offered for sale
This is the well-known Hubbard farm
where DR.. John Hubbard, formerl.

Clash Between Authorities.

Tuesday there was clash between
the authorities at Basic City and Way
nesborO, over the serving of warrant
issued by Magistrate Henkle of Way
nesbOro, for the arrest of Artemas
Kennedy, tor assault. 1t seems that
Mr.. r. W. Crowder and Mr.. Kennedy
had difficulty, in which Mr.. Crowder
claimed to have knocked Mr.. K. down.
He then swore out the warrant and
Constable CARRIER went over to Basic
to have it served, but the authorities
there claimed that he could not take
Kennedy to WaynesbOro for trial. He
returned and reported the occurrence
to Magistrate Henkle. who authorized
him to summons assistance in making
the arrest. this he did and returned to
Basic, where tue authorities still re-
fused to surrend Mr.. Kennedy, unless
authorized by the mayor of that place.
The Mayor of Basic then phoned Com
monwealth's Attorney Ker for instruc
tionS and he advised him to turn Ken
needy over to the Waynesboro authori-
ties. At the trial Wednesday Kennedy
pleaded guilty to the charge of assault
aud was fined $40 rs. Mayor HILBERT and
Policemen Heatwole and Shoemaker
were fined S. each for contempt of
court in retarding the execution of
Magistrate Henkle's warrant. All of
whom promptly paid their fines.
1t was at one time thought that
serious trouble wOuI1 arise from the
occurrence, and the report was cir
culated that the Staunton Military
companies had been called for, but the
report lacked foundation.
