The streets and lawns of 'Asbury

THE LIQUOR DEPUTIES
Visit Augusta and Institute Vigorous
Crusade.

McsSrs. Chamberlain and VarnCy, the
two specially appointed liquor deputies.
whose arrival from Watcrviilc WAS
mentioned in yesterday morning $
i:suc, began work, Tuesday, against
the alleged dealers in the fell destroy
or that is known under the general
maine of rum and it is expected by
some, that the city will at last be re-
deemed, and that after the present
crusade is over, nothing like Il rum
shop will exist within the city limits.
The two gentlemen made two strikes,
Tuesday, but owing probably to the
fact that the deputies were strangers
in strange place, their efforts went
for naught. Only one of the two
cases WAS brought into court. Wednes-
day morning, and that was thrown out
by the judge. and the prisoner allowed
| to so free. The case which came t.
the portals Of the court, but slid by
was that of Chas. Martin, who was ar
rested by Chamberlain, after he had
been induced by the deputy to get him
a pint of whisky. That official, how
ever, in his anxiety to get the stuff
| gave the man 65 cents to pay for it
| and when the matter came up in court
the judge reminded him that he had
no case, as in his mcthO5 of procedure
in order to get point TO work on, tho
man Martin had merely acted as his
agent, and that no case of illegal sale
existed.
| The deputies, yesterday afternoon
visited the restaurant of ID. l.. Tasker
and obtained some liquor in pint bot
ties. The proprietor was taken into
custody, and later appeared before
| United States Commissioner BurlciSh
and gave bonds in the sum of 5000 fol
appearance at the municipal court, at
10 o'clock, this morning.

BELGIAN HARES.
A Once Fiourishing Business in Maine
Which Is No More.

III Maine paper few days ago
there appeared small advertisement
setting forth that the one who inserted
it had Belgian hares for sale. To many
ncWSpapcrmen, as well as a great many
people of Maine engaged in other pur-
suits, this brought recollections of a
former flourfshing business, it might
be called an industry, OF the State.
which made quite furry and some
thing OF scare. 1t was in 1900 that
the business reached it's zenith. Bel
Sian hare companies sprung up in all
parts Of the State; scarcely Il settle
mcnt could be found that did not have
its breeder of the animals. The news
papers took it up and some doomed
the business, and others had only ridi-
Guile for the claims of the enthusiasts.
An association was organized by the
breeders and they could see only the
golden shower that was coming their
way. They were going to become i'm
mcnScly rich at once through the
medium of the hareS. And then some
of those who had invested and raised
Il few marketable animals began to
look around for Il place to sell the
hares. Customers were lacking and the
great demand which had been talked
about was not in sight. They began 10
wonder where all the money which they
were going to make out of the business
WAS coming from. About this time the
annual report of the fish and game
commissioners came out. In it they
called attention to the Belgian harcs,
also to the danger which would result
if they were to escape and went on to
say that in Southern California, where
the business had fOurished, the people
quickly became satiatcd with the harcs
as a food and the price had fallen to
so low IL point that there was no profit
in raising them. The commissioners
also printed reports from various parts
of the country to show that they Were
not q safe animal to introduce into
Maine.
After this the business declined very
rapidly until now it is in the "als6 ran"
class.

Dear Sir: You sell good many
things by the gallon. Being a decent

that short weight and short measure
are common among-well, we hope
there are no short measures and
weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
laces and trimmings, sold by the do

is no complaint, because they all do
it," You have the same plague in your
goods-nearly everything, canned or

most nobody gives full weight in a

National Guardsmcn will be interest
cd to know that the new targets have
been received at the adiIltnnt generals
office and are ready TO be issued. IIitl-
crto tn" Guard has used the Blunt, or
"iliptical target. Experiments with the
old Springfield rifle showed that Il
number of shot fired ut rest made Il
vertical clliptical group on the target,
therefore the bullscye and other di-
visions Of the target were made in an
clliptical form to offset this variation.
With the Krag the shot groups are cir
cular in shape, hence the new targets
have Il round bullscyc aud rings.
The marksmen will find the new tar
get somewhat harder by reason of the
reduction from the ellipScs to circles,
though Theoretically the round bullScye
is no harder with the Krag than the
"lliptical is with the Springfield. The
new targets are thus described:

Lincoln Woman's Relief Corps. auxiliary

topics for consideration was the action or
the school principal In Toledo, Ohio, who

schooi by the Womans Relief Corps, say
ing that 1t was flag of dishonor, and call
ed upon the pupils of the school to help him
tear II TO shreds. He said its career in the
Phillppines had disgraced it. Some of the

school, 1t is said, and carried the matter to
the governor of the state.

pie. They sent copy of these resolutions
to the governor of Ohio, to the superin-
tendent of public instruction. the superin-
tendent of city schools, and also sent a
copy to the President of the United States.

Predicts Parker's Election by an Over
whelming Vote.

NEW YORK. October 29.-Urey Wood
son. secretary of the democratic national
committee. who said he was speaking for
the committee. today predicted the over
whelming election of Judge Parker to the
presidency. He predicted that all the
doubtful states will be democratic, and
also that some states, called republican, Will
be and are doubtful
Secretary Woodson said: Il have every
confidence that Judge Parker will be elect
ed. 1 have been here one hundred days
now and 1 am ready to announce from
observation and what we have received
that Parker is elected. All the doubtful
states so called. will be in the democratic
column and many of the states called pure
ly republican are now in the doubtful col
umn. We will carry New York, New Jer-
sey Connecticut. Indiana. Maryland, West
Virginia, Idaho, Colorado, Utah and Ne
vada. In other words. all the doubtful
states are for us and for Judge Parkers
election. Illinois is doubtful. Ohio is even
doubtful The big men who controlled that
state are now dead. The republicans as
sumo they are going to win there, but we
hear they might lose. Even California mas
sent good reports to us, and we are hopeful
OF even carrying that state. Maryland Is
certainly as democratic as Kentucky, West
Virginia is as sure as Maryland"
Secretary WoodSon said that Chairman
Taggart will be here surely by Monday
night.
