Lessie b. the fourteen year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Clark, died
at the home of her parents on Madison
avenue, at an early hour, Friday morn
ing of last week. after two weeks ill
ness of typhoid fever For several days
preceding the end her condition had
been such that recovery could hardly be
looked for, and yet her vitality prevail
ed so long that even on the day preced.
ing her demise her many friends, reluc-
tant to abandon hope, felt some courage
that she would yet battle the disease
hopes that proved to be without founda.
ton
A sweet, winsome little girl, her lady
like demeanor and sunny disposition
had endeared her to very many in the
community who share with her parents
in the grief of personal loss. 1t is an
unusual occurance for person of her
years, apparently in perfect health, to
be so suddenly stricken with fatal NAL.
ady, and the case from the first attract.
ed more than the usual amount of atten.
tiou and sympathetic inquiry. Though
born in North New Portland she has
passed most of her life here. She had
attended the Skowhegan schools and
was one of the brightest among hel
schoomates She was to have entered
the eighth grade at the commencement
of the September term.
The funeral occurred at four O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, the services being
conducted by the Rev. b, b. Merrill
Numerous and beautiful floral tributes
evidenced the love of many for theil
little friend, and among those who at
tended, the youth of the town, play
mates and friends, were conspicuous by
their numbers The interment was il
the south Cemetery.

At the town meeting, last Saturday
afternoon, a sentiment was Enthusiastically
manifest fayoring the ownership by the
town OF its own municipal building ;
and, prevailing as this does after seven
meetings have been held, after inVesti.
cation by several committees and so
much discussion, it is not likely that it
will change. 1t WAS equally evident
that the voters were not 10 be hurried
into anything. There was no lack of
appreciation OF our loss of prestige in
failing to provide the largest audience
room of this section of the state, and of
the sacrifice made and losses incurred by
delay, but it seemed well understood
that in erecting public building the
step taken was to be for a generation,
and that temporary Inconvenience might
save mistakes that would prove the re-
greet Of lifetime. There Is no abate-
ment Of the determination to make good
the loss of Coburn Hall by equal or su-
perior accommodations and the delay of
final action until next March meeting
should not be 80 interpreted. Public
opinion on the question, boiled down, is
this; We will have hall; we will build
1t ourselves; we will take the necessary
time to find out what we want and then
pay what is required to secure 1t.

Prof. James II. Hyslop, in an enter.
tanning book Just published, claims that
nature has thrown in our way indubit-
able evidence of future life, and that
"it is only the scandal of science that
the facts are not incorporated in its
work, it is also a reproach to our morals
that we do not appropriate the facts in
some rational and useful way" 1t has
been burning question from creation
"if man dies shall he live again r. II
this question can be decided by nature
then Prof. Hyslop has done a good iot
for humanity. To those who accept re-
violation the fact of future life is as
clear as the sunlight.

Change of Location.

A petition, which we publish in full
in another column, has been presented
to the county commissioners by the sc.
ectmen Of CornVille, in compliance with
vote of that town passed at its last ar.
nual meeting, asking for an alteration il
the location of certain way leading
from the Skowhegan town line on the
south northeIly past the residence of P
A. Lombard in that town, the opinion OF
the petitioners being that all of said way
northerly of the residence of Z. A. LON.
bard to the town way leading from the
County road to the Molunkus road, sc
called, should be discontinued, and in
stead thereof road laid out starting
near said Lombard's house and extend
ing southerly to the Molunkus road,
A hearing on this petition is TO be held
at the residence of p. A. Lombard it,
Cornyille on Tuesday, October 3.

The Peace Conference.

indications Of compromise for peace,
at yesterday session Of the ENJOYS was
due to President Roosevet's offer.
His messenger e the navy yard was
believed to have brought fresh proposal
OF assurance Of Japan's acceptance.
An otier from Japan in the conference
was expected along the lines of Roose-
yelts plan, aud the basis If reached 1t
was believed would bear these lines:
Japan to sell to Russia part or all Of SAX
hahn island.
Russia to consent to pay as "remunera-
ton" the price Of sakhaln and keep Of
prisoners.
Japan to yield on the subject Of intcrned
ships and naval power.
! Japan to permit the Eastern Chinese rail-
road to be sold to syndicate, the price to be
added to Remuneration"
Baron Komura in a few words, ex-
planned that Japan in her great desire
for peace WAS ready to make certain
notifications" of the original articles
in the hope that Russia could find it pos
! slble 10 accept them. He then present
| Nd III hllNluk W M " lAlG Abb Spul PIb-
mise proposition which President Rose
welt had suggested. Ii was concrete ald
| specific aud il followed the lines as out
lined above.
Without a moments hesitation, NJ.
| White explained that the modification
proposed was merely sham, a change
of phraseology, a diplomatic attempt to
"dorer la pllule" and asked Russia to
| ri
| He could not accept it.
He told Baron Komura that Russia
wanted peace. She had given the proofs
In accepting every article involving the
issues upon which the war was fought
but she could fight and money for trit-
ute she would not pay--not copeck
He asked Baron Komura to withdraw
all demands for tribute.
And so the plenipotentiaries separated
to meet again, Saturday, ostensibly to
permit M. Witte to place In writing, as
the rules OF the conference require, his
reply to the Japanese compromise prop
ositlOn. In reality, the adjournment
over two days, was to give each side an
opportunity to consult its government
for the last time.
The outlook is black, many believe It
was never so black as last night. The
Japanese are not talking. Indeed, last
night, they appeared to be more tacti-
turn and resolute than ever. The only
possible line of further Japanese conces-
sion is considered to lie in the direction
of dmunition of the amount OF the
purchase money demanded for the north
half Of Sakhalin.
The decision rests, therefore, as it has
from the first, with Russia. Unless the
Emperor agrees to yield between now
and Saturday, the end is likely to come
on that day. And the indications from
Peterhof instead of raising the chances
OF a change of heart on the part of the
| Emperor seem to indicate even tirmer
determination to yield neither territory
nor indemnity, sugar-coated though the
latter may be.

The case has batfled all attempts thus
