MAINE INDUSTRIES,

Capt. Warren A. Squirting of Gram

last fishing trip, it being the largest
trip of the season, and the third trip
Captain Squirting had landed. his stock
thus far, amounting to over SO, 200.
Dexter people are sorry to learn that
the wooden mill at North Dexter has
shut down and judging from present
indications it will not start up again
this summer anyway. The real reason
for the closing of the mill is not
known but it is understood that work
has been slack for some time past. The
closing of the mill throws quite a
large number of operatives out Of work
and they have been leaving town dur
ing the past week to look for work
elsewhere. Other business in that part
of the town is rushing this summer.
Elbridge A. Flanders has a crew of
about 20 men at work in his sawmill
and the present indications are that
there will be work at this mill during
the greater part of the summer.
The past week was the most quiet in
the sardine canning business at East
port since the season opened on April
l.. since which time there had been
fully a months work for the many
employees. Herring that had been so
plentiful two weeks ago failed to put i'm
an appearance last week in many of
the best paying weirs, and as a result
only few hogsheads of the fish were
received at the factories, and the for
mer big payrolls were not had on Sat
urday. There are no indications of the
schools of herring being found during
the week in this section, but it will be
only matter of few weeks before
the regular summer run of fish comes
on and then it is usually the case to
have a big supply every day.

Records Thoughts as Death Nears.

A dispatch from Camden, N. J., says:
Every stage of the feelings of one dying
from the effects of opium poisoning were
recorded in the form of bulletins written by
Frederick Gruber, who committed suicide
by taking laudanum.
His record shows every step from the self
administration of the narcotic to the gates
of death. At first the thought, clearly ex-
pressed, is transcribed in firm, bold hand,
showing the slow pulse and the placid mind
OF the first stage: then the muscular
strength fails and the writing degenerates
into a feeble scrawl. The systems fight
against death. the dropping into dreams
and at last the confusion of intellect, which
shows that the man is being overcome by
the fatal languor, are all graphically por-
trayed. Gruber was forty-three years old
