He was president of the city council
in 1873. and mayor of the city in 1876.
1877, 1878 and 1879, having the un-
usual honor Of being elected for four
successive terms. He was one of the
organizers and warm-hearted patrons
of the kennebec Historical Society.
and a diligent collector Of ANTIQUE
relics for its show cases. He was for
years one of the trustees of the Maine
Industrial School for Girls. He was ii
member of the Maine Historical Soci-
ETY.; assistant clerk of the House of
Representatives; member of the
Loyal Legion and of Seth Williams

Press Association; member Of the
various Masonic organizations
At the time of the notorious and
infamous "count-out' Of 1880. Cant.
Nash was called by Gen. Chamberlain
to the command Of the guard at the
State House; and to his coolness cour-
age and bravery. coupled with the wise
counSels of James G. Blaine. bloodshed
was averted. and the rightfully elected
representatives Of the people peace
fully seated.
Charles Z. Nash was married at Hal
lowell, on the 9Th of November. 1865,
to Miss Sarah L. Livermore, daughter
of Danforth p. Livermore. They had
three children-Edwin L., Mary, and
Danforth l.. Mary died in 1896, under
the most distressing circumstances.
just as she was budding forth into
beautiful womanhood. The next year
Edwin, who had become a partner
with his father in business, was
drowned in the Kennebec. These sad
events had since Swallowed the lives
of the parents. and Capt. Nash never
quite recovered from the dreadful
blow. The youngest son, DanfOrth l..
Nash, is a recent graduate of Brown
University, and will probably succeed
his father i'm the publishing business.
Mrs. Nash survives her husband.
Captain Nash was Il brave and fear
less soldier of the Union army, never
fiinching under the most severe trial.
In civil life. behind a quiet demeanor,
he had the same characteristics. He
never turned his back upon n foe, but
fought him in the open. He was Il
friend to be enjoyed. but an enemy to
be dreaded. An Industrious and con-
scientious worker to the remotest de-
tail: with n liberal hand Outstretched
to the needy: preferring TO keep self
in the background if he could only
serve others: 4 facile entertaining and
ready writer i'll both verse and prose;
doing thorough and permanent work in
every department of the city to which
he devoted himself: a man of quick
cned intellect. trained mind and warm
hearr,-the entire community will feel
his loss now that death has closed his
earthly labors.
Captain Nash's religious sentiments
were best expressed, perhaps, by the
doctrines of tine New Jerusalem church.
He reveied in the imagery and symbol

the soul and the realities of the eternal

MODERN WOODMEN
Close Their School of Instruc-
ton, Thursday Afternoon.
Visit Places Of Interest, Including
Postofice and State House.
Much Work Done During Session and
Results Satisfactory.

The third and last day of the annual
school of instruction of the Modern
Woodmen of America, resulted IN
large amount of business being done.
One of the most important features
of the work is that Of the medical eX-
animation. Perhaps no other order is
as particular in this respect as the
Woodmen. There are three local or
camp physicians. who are responsible
to the head physicians of each state.
who in turn are under the supervision
Of n supreme board of medical direc-
tors.
The result is that the death list is
less each year per 1000, than any other
company or society, and thus making
the cost of protection to the members
less.
Three head physicians of the order
were in attendance: Drs. O. I. Bemis of
Bangor, Me-; L. A. Barrows of Hart
ford, Vt: and +. p. Pitman of New
Haven Conn. Each presented papers
on the medical work and answered
questions propounded by the deputies
and members. and many good points
were brought out that We're of interest
to the members.
The head camp will meet in Milwau-
kee in June. 1905. and the order, and
the order which now numbers nearly
500. 900 members, has for its slogan.
over 100000 members for Milwau-
kee."
l.. +. Koopman of Rhode Island the
ranking district deputy in New Eng
land, gave paper on the subject and
created useful discussion.
II. G. Fuller presided at the forenoon
session. and John Leith at the after
noon, and made a model chairman.
At $50. the school closed its labOrs
with q splendid address by Rev. Mr..
Dunnack.
At the close of the session the men,
bers awaited themselves of an invita-
ton of Postmaster Lane, n recent ad-
dition TO the ranks of WOOGcraft. and
visited the poStOffice, and all We're
thankful for the invitation and greatly
pleased. A number also visited the

To Lovers of Trees.
To the Editor of the Kennebec To

TO the Editor of the kennebec Journal:
Solomon said TO every thing there
is a season, and q time to every purpose
under the heaven" and the time to see
to your trees is when the snow begins
to melt around the roots. Remember
that there is no magic charm in a piece
of paper tackled about your tree; tree
bands should be kept sticky with
printers ink or tar. and they should be
tight: many Of those that were put on
last fall, We're so loose that an elephant
could crawl underneath. Adjoining
trees should be banded: for instance. if
a maple stands near elms, the maple
should also be banded, because the
grubs can ascend the maple and cross
to the other trees.
Many people think that the cold
winter will affect the canker worms,
but the latter have strong constitutions
and will probably turn out by the
thousand in the spring, ready to go to
work.
In addition to attending to the tree
bands, it is very important to kill the
gruhs or wingless female moths of the
canker worm, that come up from the
ground with the gray millerS. The
killing may be done in two Ways;-
the first is boiling water. which is
cheap and easy to get and will not
hurt Well-srOWn trees. 1t will of
course, kill the grass. but it is easier to
renew grass than trees. If you wish 10
preserve the grass, use kerosene
emulsion, hich is made as follows
Hard SCap..........12 pound
Boiling Water. gallon
Kerosene. ...........2 gallons
Dissolve the soap in the water. cut
ting it into thin slices TO hasten the
process: remove from the stove, add
the kerosene and churn through a force
pump for ten minutes. this forms a
stock solution. For use dilute to ten
gallons with cold water.
The thorough churning of this mix
ture is important, and where it is made
in small quantities, a Dover egg-beater
may be used instead of force pump.
Augustus greatest beauty is her
trees. Professor Munson, of the
Univ ersity of Maine. looked at the
affected trees last year. and said that
they seemed much enfeebled and that
he feared that another stripping would
kill them.
Do not delay in this matter. if you
care for your trees, and do not make
your neighbours laZiness an excuse for
your own. Set him a good example
and remember that ''if every man
swept before his own door the whole
city would be clean

NO SERIOUS TALK
OF. TARIFF CHANGE

Washington, Nov. 18.-While the
president has considered with sme1H
bers Of his cabinet and some congress-
men the subject of revision of the tar
if, the consideration thus far given
the matter has not been of a serious
nature. 1t can be said authoritatively
that he will not discuss the subject in
his message. The consensus of opin-
ion as expressed to the president is
that if the tariff is to be revised the
work should be taken up at an early
date; but thus far no decision has been
reached in regard to the matter and
none will be reached until the presi-
dent has had an opportunity to, thor
oughly discuss the matter kith con-
gressmen generally.

GIVE REASONS BEFORE INTER
STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
CATTLE TRAFFIC COSTLY
Representative of Western Road Says
Many Features of the Carrying of
Live Stock Show That the Rates
Should Be Higher Than on Gener-
al Freight.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Many reasons
were offered by railroad officials at
yesterdays hearing of the interstate
commerce commission on cattle rates,
why the present rates on livestock
should be maintained.
II. H. Embry, general freight agent
Of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
i'll his testimony gave the following
summary of the reasons furnished by
the railroad men for maintaining the
present rates:
The requirements of shippers, such
as arbitrary loading of cars at arbi-
trary hours, and the arbitrary unload
ing and return of the same cars; the
liability to claims which materially
reduce the gross earnings on this
class of freight; the delay to other
traffic caused by stock trains, which
is much greater than that caused by
any other kind of freight; the free
transportation given the parties &C
companying the stock and their re-
turn enforced returning of empty
cars, greatly increasing the empty
mileage on stock cars, and the extra
ordinary expense for equipment and
maintenance required by this traffic.
Mr. Embry estimated the value of
free transportation furnished cattle
men last year at $668,000

SHOOTS STOREKEEPER AND DE-
FlES ARREST.
LAD MAY BE A LUNATIC
Cherishes Old Grudge Against the
Merchant and Finally Shoots and
Probably Fatally Wounds Him
Barricades Himself But at Last
?Surrenders to the Law.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-After he had
shot and probably fatally wounded
Conrad Baxman, in the yard of the
latter's home at Bartlett, H., yester-
day, William Pollworth, 20 years old,
barricaded himself in the home OF his
mother and for several hours defied
a score of citizens who had surrOund-
ed the Pollworth house in an effort To
capture the youth. Pollworth used a
shot gun and a revolver to keep the
crowd from forcing an entrance to
the house 1t was not until the sher-
if had sent Is deputy sheriffs to Bart
lett that Pollworth threw away his
weapons and surrendered.
Baxman, who owns a general store
in Bartlett, said last night that the
only explanation he could offer for the
shooting was that several years ago
he had informed Pollworth's mother
of some boyish tricks the youth had
been implicated in and that since that
time Pollworth had held a deep
hatred for him. Pollworth is be-
lieved to be mentally unbalanced
one year ago he was sent to the
bridewell for year on a charge of
sb ooting his brother, Henry, over a
trivial matter.

TREATY PREVENTS
A REVOLUTION

Panama, Nov 18.-The treaty be-
tween the United States and Panama
has prevented one more revolution on
the isthmus. The rumored coup
d'etat by the military elements, it
seems, was more serious than at first
Thought to be. Minister Barrett, aft
er consultation with the Panama gov
eminent and General Davis, command
er of the canal zone, asked Admiral
Goodrich to leave one of the warships
Of the Pacific squadron here to pre-
vent possible disturbance. Yester-
day morning 200 marines from the
empire camp arrived here. General
Huertas, minister of war, has an
nounced his intention to resign, which
will clear the political atmosphere.
Though disturbances are not feared,
in the present circumstances, Panama
is greatly excited.
