Times Are Never So Dead But What We
Can All Find Something To Do.

That will be of interest to ourselves
| and those ayound US.
Please let us suggest something to
you. Haven't you picture in your
house that you have been wanting
framed for the past year or more, or
perhaps several of them? Don't you
think it would be best to have it done
right now, before they get torn or
damaged? We are making picture
frames cheaper than ever before, and
getting the latest machinery for cut
ting the frame, back and mat and
everything to perfection. We are
making specially of pictures and
picture frames, and will soon have a
picture room. where you can see the
latest and best variety of pictures you
ever saw In the west. Pictures on
the wall and in the household are like
flowers, pleasure not only to behold,
but to be appreciated by everyone
that sees them.
We are introducing this year, the
Success manure sp1eGder. We do not
think they have been introduced be-
fore but we are trying them this year
and find they are all right. We find
the time is now at hand when the
farmers will use the manure for en-
riching the soil. The people east find
it is necessary, and that they more
than make the cost of the spreader in
the increased crop. In fact, we guar
antee that you can do it right here.
This soil has been worked now, with
out being renewed, for twenty years or

more. Hadu'f .yoa better begin nozO,

you have been burning up, or other

We sell the only best cram sebar
at0r ever put on the market for the
money, The people who have used
them say SO, and that is the best testi-
mony we can give you. They are the
Plymouth separators. Try them, and
| it will only cost you $500, and
money saved is money made.
We are prepared now, to- put
zo,ate, ao0,1kS intOeUer-y house. We have
tested many of the compressed air
water tanks, but find that the one we
are selling now is the best. It don't
cost much to have hot and cold water
all over your house. and water IN
your yard, SO you can have blue grass
and put out fire either in your house
or barn. Let US figure with you on
water works for your farm and house
and also on aeetyleue lights. We can
put them in all aver your house, and
they will give better satisfaction than
any lamps you can possibly use. They
will give you less trouble, are safer,
and will give you more pleasure in
use.
Ea'e,-r Sah0Ol district ought to have

to have one. Some districts have |
money on hand now and why not
have your children learn music in the

sunday Mornings Fire.

The blank, staring windows and
blackened frames of three buildings
on Main street, telling the story OF
Sunday mornings fire-telling also of
the efficiency of EIisworth's fire de-
partment in stopping the fire where
it did-suggest the question; what
will be done WITH them2n
The natural hope of every citizen
of Ellsworth is that brick block will
rise from the ashes, and in fostering
this hope they turn to the Oft
preached subject of masonic build
ing. Whether the masonic bodies of
Ellsworth are in a position to enter
upon such an undertaking; whether
the sentiment of the several lodges
is in favor of an effort in this direc-
ton, is not for us to say. That the
masonic bodies of Ellsworth would
like to have such home goes with
out saying.
The achievement of the Odd Fell
lows, in erecting building and clean
ing up in SO short time the debt
they contracted TO do 1t, seems at
least to encourage the idea that a
masonic building. built on this much
more desirable site for business pur-
poses, would prove equally as paying
an investment.
1t is understood that offers have al
ready been made for the property by
different parties, and it seems reason
able to suppose that such property,
in the business centre of the city,
viii not long remain idle.
Let us hope that the fire, which al
first flush seems a catastrophe, may
in the end prove blessing by giving
to the main street of Ellsworth a
modern brick business block, an orna-
ment to the city, and further protec-
ton against sweeping fire fed by
himsy frame structures.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

The sixteenth annual report of the Bar
Harbor Village Improvement association
has been issued, and the reports of the
various officers and committees show the
association to be in excellent condition.
The most important piece of work ae-
complished by the society during the past
year is in the transformation OF the town
lot, or as it is now known. the village
green. During the past summer the
whole lot was plowed up, graded and
seeded, and before the end Of the season
was converted into fine, wellkept lawn.
Walks were laid ont across the lot and the
association plans to set out trees and
shrubs another summer.
Another important undertaking is its
crusade against any change in the law
relating to the use of automobiles. In
order to ascertain the wishes OF the COM
munity on the subject, reply postal cards
were sent to the cottagers and hotel guests.
Up to Oct. 20, replies favoring the restric-
tion of automobiles had been received
from 542 persons, including the occupants,
owners or tenants OF all but one OF the
summer cottages occupied during the past
season.
The tressurer's report showed receipts
for the year, :, 43i 81; balance from last
year, =, l07 IS; making the total available,
%, SIS. q. The expenditures for the year
were sa,5ss.4S, leaving balance of s2,s50.75.

The November Elections.

The elections yesterday in various
sections of the country result ed for
the most part as public sentiment
generally supposed they would.
In Massachusetts the entire repub
hcan state ticket, headed by Curtis
Guild, jr., as governor and Eben s.
Draper as lieutenant governor, was
elected, although the latter had a
pretty close call. Although a state
election, the issues we're largely ma
tional. The result indicates that there
is little danger of Massachusetts,
swinging into the tariff -for-revenue
column, ana that the demand for
tariff revision is accompanied by the
desire that when the tariff is revised
it shall be done by the friends and
not by the foes of the protective
system.
In New York, Mayor George B. Nc
Clellan appears to have won, though
w. r. Hearst gave him hard fight.
The smallness of the republican vote
is probably accounted for by the fact
that many republicans voted for Me-
Cleilan through fear that Hearst
might win.
District Attorney Jerome Is re-
elected in spite of Tammany's frantic
efforts to defeat him.
The result in Philadelphia is land
slide for reform in municipal politics.
While nominaily republican, this city
has for years been the hot bed of po-
litical corruption, and this victory OF
the reform party is in reality victory
for honesty and decency.
That the leaders of the reform
movement do not regard the result as
a republican defeat is clear from
these two kilograms, one sent TO the
President as follows:
philadelphia has risen to It's opportunity and
stands redeemed. The principle of honesty IN
government so effectively aroused by you hss
won an overwhelming triumph. Our majority
approximates 75.ooo"
And one sent to Secretary of State
Root as follows:
The masquerade Is over. The criminal and
corrupt combination has been driven from
power by the righteous indignation of s great
republican city. We have only begun. Our
thanks TO you for your splendid aid. -
The elections in other states were
fought out mainly on local lines, and
do not appear to have involved in
them any general or national issues.
