A Butter War in Madison,

MADISON, Me, Oct. Is. War has
been declared in this town between the
local consumers of butter and the pro-
ducers, who include the farmers of this
town, Arson and Starks.
Several weeks ago the farmers agreed
that on and after Nov. the price of
butter should be raised from % to 25
cents pound. This they claimed was
necessary, owing to the advance in the
price of feed and that there was no
profit in making it at less than % cents.
All the customers were notified of the
advance last week and protest was
made. They said they would not pay
the advance, and clubs were at once
formed to secure butter elsewhere. One
club has made contract with a stock
farm in North Arson to furnish 100
pounds week for year at the cream
cry price. Another club has made a
contract with a farmer who agrees to
furnish 100 pounds week at the pre-
vailing dairy price. Other clubs have
sprung up and farmers from distance
are bringing all kinds of butter to town.
The farmers who went into the CON-
bine to put the price up say they intend
to stand by their agreement and that
they will make arrangements to sell
their product in other towns if they
cannot get fair price for it here.
The matter has created quite a stir
here, and several buttered popcorn par
ties and a church butter scotch sociable
which had been booked for this week
have been Cancelled.

From "square' to "Fore-and-Aft' Rig.

We have given up the standing list of
deep-Water vessels which has long been a
feature of The Journal. 1t has been greatly
reduced by sales, deaths and disasters, and
many vessels were retained therein for old
associations, although they had passed out
of local control. The intention was to main
tain list of vessels owned or commanded
by Waldo county people and engaged in the
foreign trade; but the square-riggers are
fast going out and our big schooners go off
shore as well as coastwise.-The Republi-
can journal, Belfast, Me-
We can remember the time when our
esteemed contemporary published list
nearly column long of foreign-going
brigs, barks and ships, that hailed from
ports on the Penobscot, and where they
were at the time of publication. When
foreign cargoes began to leave Ameri-
can vessels for foreigners in, conse-
quence of the former not being able to
compete at the low rate of freights
established by the latter, the square rig
was gradually abolished for the reason
that vessel to be made to pay must
be adapted to the coastWise as well as
the foreign trade, hence the change to
the big four, five and six masted schoon-
ers, which can go to any part of the
world, where a paying cargo offers.
IHeie is, however, sentiment OF sad
ness in our contemporary announce
ment that touches chord of sympathy
in the Marine Journal.
We can, however, only suggest the
hope that the Merchant Marine Com
missions report, when it is made, will
contain a recommendation for aid from
Congress that will oblige The Belfast
Journal to republish the list of foreign
going vessels, even if they are differ
ent rig from those published by it for
so many years.-Marine Journal, New
York

IAN SENTENCES.
What the Damariscotta Herald Says About
Them.

Inems
A few DAYS ago notorious rum seller |
in Waterville was before the Superior
Court for sentence on conviction for
selling rum. His attorneys plead for
fine on the ground that his eyes were
bad and Jail sentence would affect
them unfavorably. Once before he
begged off on the ground that he was
in consumption, once he had plead
hardening of the liver and next time he
will probably plead ingrowing nails. He
escaped with fine. This seems the
stranger, for the reason that Judge Hall
has been in the main fearless enforcer
of the rum laws. This case is all the
usually sneaked off when he was wanted
and if he had been on time his sentence
would long ago have been served before
! his eyes got bad. We know of no legal
precedent which directs judge to take
into consideration the health of rum
sellers. That is purely the criminals
own concern. Jails are not meant for
casinos or health resorts. This man
| had been making paupers and wife
heaters for years; he never bothered
himself about the health of his victims
He took money that should have fed
hungry little stOmachs and covered
naked little feet. The plea of ill health
should be the last that should shelter a
| poisOner. Next we shall have criminals
pleading that confinement causes them
headache. More than this, physical
discomfort is no more reason for leni-
ency than any other form of trouble.
The next rum seller brought before
Judge Hall for sentence may beg off on
the ground that it hurts his feelings to
be incarcerated. He may plead a pre-
vious engagement. He may want to
4 spend month in the woods. Convicted
murderers through their attorneys may
state that their physical condition
is such that the electric current will
seriously affect them as insurance risks
| We remember one man in kennebec
county who was sent to prison for mis-
use of banks funds. No one suffered
from his defalcation. Relatives stood
ready to make it good. He was in con-
sumption. The majesty of the law had
to be indicated, and a dying man was
sent to Thomaston to a living grave.
No plea of i'll health awaited. He paid
the penalty. This miscreant. however,
whose business was systematic poison
ing and robbery is let Off. Not only is
justice defeated but crop of new rum
sellers seeing this creatures success in
hoodwinking justice will commence
operations, relying on contracting
shingles, a bad cold, or some other in
trinity to save them from jail.-Damar-
iscotta Herald.

NORTH sEARsPoRT TO FREEDOM.

The writer recently had occasion to
drive through the Western part of Wal
do county to attend the annual meet
ing of the 10th Maine Regimental AS
ISOLATION and the Veterans meeting in
Freedom on the next day. The route
from North Searsport was through the
towns of Swanville, Waldo, Brooks,
Thorndike, Knox, Unity and Freedom
On arriving at Windermere Park,
Unity, we found that some fifty CON-
rades of the 10th had assembled. This
park is one of natures beauty spots, and
is noted for its fine grove of pines and
cedars. There are some nice cottages
and a public house, and the veterans
have fine home, free from debt, where
they meet from time to time Unity
village is noted for its nice residences,
fine flower gardens and we'll kept
streets.
At the close of the meeting we ac-
copied an invitation from Nate. Libby,
who by the way was member of the
18th Maine, to spend the night at his
home and attend the meeting in Free
dom the next day. AS we rode along
Comrade Libby pointed out many fine
farms and places of note. This is a
good farming county and we passed
many fine fields of potatoes, corn and
grain and some thrifty orchards in which
the trees were bending under their
loads of fruit. After riding about three
miles, Comrade Libby said, ''This is
where Nate ties up" We were hungry
and the place looked so inviting that
we were glad to stop there. Comrade
Libby has fine farm, nice buildings
and a pleasant view of the Kennebec
valley. Sister Libby soon had supper
ready and it was good enough for king.
After that we took a stroll over the
well titled fields and then sat and talk
ed over old war times until late hour
AS we sat in this pleasant home, where
the R. F. D. calls every day, leaving
the daily papers, and listened to the
click of the telephone, we were remind
ed of the contrast with our boyhood
days, when these and many other con-
veniences were unknown.
The next morning dawned clear and
| beautiful. and after another square
meal in company with Brother and Sis
ter Libby we started for Freedom, some
two or three mile distant. Arriving a
! little early at the G. A. r. Hall in
Freedom we took short drive to the
beautiful cemetery near the village,
where some of our former comrades
are sleeping. Few men have done more
for the community in which they lived
than the late DR.. A. j. Billings of Free
dom, formerly Surgeon of the 10th
Maine. On returning to the G. A. R.
Hall we found many of our old comrades
had arrived and we had a good time
as we always do in Freedom. On our
way home we stopped with Comrade
Lorenzo Jones over night and left for
home the next morning, where we ar
rived safe and sound. We shall long
remember our visit. SNAP SHOT.

gon. This being reported to the Secre-
tary of the Interior an order was issued
that oSeph's band of Nez Perces should
be permitted to remain in the Wallowa
valley during the summer and autumn,
