Items of General Interest from the
rlOnitOr.

The bankers of the state are hold
ing their conventions according to
districts this year. Those of the
Seventh district will hold their meet
ing in Benson on Monday, April 20,
and it is expected that about fifty will
be in attendance. The two banks
here will have the matter Of properly
entertaining the visitors, in charge,
and of course all others who take
pride in seeing strangers enjoy their
stay here will lend their aid.
The Commercial Club held a speci-
al meeting last Saturday evening to
consider proposition from Rice's
Street Fair and Carnival Company, of
Minneapolis. This concerns offers to
put in the attractions for four days
fair, decorate the town, furnish the
music and do all the advertising
necessary, provided a guarantee of
$500 or $1,000 is given them, the
amount to be determined by the num-
Der of attractions. For $1,000 the
company would put in about eight
free shows, three of which would be
sensational acts and the others plat
form performances. There would be
two performances daily, in the after
noon and evening. They would also
decorate the entire business portion
of the town with bunting and other
decorations, and would erect arches
at the main corners which would be
lighted up each evening with electri-
cal effects. The fair would be ad-
vertised at least forty miles in each
direction from Benson, and the COM
pany would not put in any fairs with
in the territory allotted to Benson. In
addition to the free show there would
be several ten-cent pay attractions,
from the receipts OF which the village
would receive a certain percentage.
This is the substance OF the PROPOSE
ton as near as we have been to learn.
The sentiment in regard to the mat
ter is divided, but it will be necessary
to send the company an answer soon,
as it is Gle sing up it's dates. No def
mite action was taken by the club
last Saturday evening and the ques-
ton is still open for settlement.

While last Mondays gale will not
compare with some of the western tor
nadoes, it was sufficient for all practical
purposes, blowing down forest trees
across the roads, and one neighbor had
an apple tree Frustrated, and the whole
trunk split into three parts. 1t is re-
ported that there was frost on the fol-
lowing night sufficient to kill some of the
garden plants. Beans were much injur-
ed by their leaves being blown off and
scattered over the ground.
Speaking of frost, those three freezes
the last of May were the hardest on the
yellow or swamp ash and beech of any
of the forest trees about here. Every
leaf of the former was killed, and while
the tree has never regained it's former
condition, the dead leaves still cling to
the beech just as they do far into the
winter when killed by the frost in au-
tumn.
Only one hay day thus far this week,

Josh Billings used to say that "there

he might have put it little stronger and
said there is even more than that, at

which we will give by way of illustration.
While it is generally admitted that
Sautelle's circus and menagerie were all
the advertisements claimed for them,
there are those who deny the fact, and
say that while the riding was well enough
only a small part of the animals adver-
tised were in the show, and one man de-
clares that about all the animals he saw
worth looking at were two monkeys,
and they looked as though they had not
been fed for three days. And as for the
performing seals, smoking pipe, blow
ing trumpet, and holding flag, there
were no such animals there, not even an
old seal skin stuffed with sawdust.

wife and daughter to eat them. He lay
down ON the couch and fell off in intense
pain and died almost instantly. He has
been living in Auburn for nearly two
years, previous to that time he lived in
South Buckfield for nearly thirty years
and was well known in all parts of Ok
