A Waldo County Man Who Has Won Sue
cess as a Maine Publisher.
The Bethel News sent out last week an
illustrated supplement of "a pages of which
any newspaper establishment might we'll
feel proud. Printed on book paper, finely
illustrated and well written, it places Bethel
and its people before the world in most
favorable light and cannot fail to do good
both at home and abroad. We are the more
interested in this excellent journalistic work
from the fact that the editor and proprietor
of the News was born in Palermo, Waldo
county, and we take pleasure in reproduc-
ing the following sketch of the
NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY.
In the spring of 1895, small job printing
office, the working outfit of which was one
small job press and a few fonts of type, was
opened in Bethel by A. ID. EiIingwOod, and
III June OF the same year he published the
first number of the Bethel News, four
page local weekly. The publication was
giles, and would have been discontinued had
it not been for capital furnished by Mr.. E.
Z: Bowler who, in September, 1897, purchas-
ed a half interest in the News The follow
ing March he purchased the remainder of
the business. With change in manage
ment, united with IA persistency that knew
not the meaning of failure, the plant began
steady growth, and in 1899 the paper was
enlarged and is to-day one of the leading
country newspapers of the State.
The publishing of the News is, however,

but small part of the business as it is at
owner was to place the News on firm
foundation, and second, to establish one of
the best book plants in Maine. The first
has been done and the second is fast ap-
ofhce, publishing with difficulty a fOur-page
paper in 1897, has grown a plant second to
none in Maine outside of the larger cities.
During the past three years there has been
issued from this press high grade of book
and half-tOne work which some of the
critics have pronounced to be among the
best ever produced in the State. The out
put OF this office is such as to keep three
presses, including book press recently
added, running the greater part of the
time The works thus far published have
been shipped to Boston to be bound, but if
the growth that has been the Company's in
the past continues, book-bindery will be
added to the plant in the near future.
MIR. E. c. Bowler, the son of Silas H. and
Mary NJ. Bowler, was born in Palermo, Me-,
May e, 1870 He received his education in
the public schools and the Eastern State
Normal school, graduating from the latter
IN lo!W. FIVE years were spent in teaching,
at the end of which time he removed to
Bethel: in November, 1896, and began to de-
vote his whole life and energy to the build
ing up OF a first class publishing plant. By
hard work and close application to details,
the original business was doubled the first
year; the succeeding years have seen like
growth and today finds the original busi-
ness increased ten fold
Mr.. Bowler has always taken an active
interest in education he was for four years
ana for SIX years, President of the Waldo
county Teachers Association; has also
served the town of Bethel as Superintend-
ent of Schools for two years.

Charles Mcneil VS.. John W. Hobbs, was
tried Friday. The defendant lives in West
Winterport, and in November, 1902, employ
ed three neighbors to help shingle his barn.
They put up staging supported by four
brackets and with one end resting on
shed. Two of the brackets were held up
by inch bolts passing through inch holes
III the side OF the barn. The other two
brackets had inch bolts with inch holes.
Mr.. Hobbs bored the holes and screwed up
the nuts on the inside of the barn. The
plaintiff went on the staging and landed
two bundles of fir shingles over one of the
brackets with the small bolts. As he put
down the second bundle the nut on the bolt
pulled through the side of the barn and he
fell to the ground, distance of about 12
feet. He was taken up unconscious and
was confined to the house several weeks.
He was unable to be moved from Mr..
Hobbs house to his own house for about a
week. The suit was to recover for personal
injuries, loss of time, etc. The defence was
that the stage was reasonably safe, that the
men had been at work on it two hours or
more before the accident occurred, and that
the plaintiff contributed to the accident by
dropping the shingles heavily on the stage
from his shoulder. The jury took the case
at O'Clock P. NJ and returned a sealed YER
dice at s. The verdict, which was for the
plaintiff for $75, was announced in Court
Saturday morning. Mcclellan for plaintiff.
r. F. Dunton for defendant.
Peter Harmon VS.. Granville Young was
opened to the jury Saturday morning. The
action was on promissory note for $35
given by the defendant to the firm of Har-
mon & Morse, and the plaintiff appears as
surviving partner. Mr.. Morse is dead The
defence denies the plaintiffs right to so ap-
pear, he not having given bond as such in
the Probate Court. The law point involved
was argued before the Court, and on advice
OF the presiding justice the case was settled
on payment of $3.50. Williamson for plain
tiff. r. F. DuntOn for defendant.
Both juries were excused Saturday fore
noon until Monday afternoon, and the Court
was suspended at noon until Monday at
2 O'clock
