a letter from Leader Shaw before
this. He confden,ially expected
Leader Shaw 20 write him letter
giving full detailed account of the
harmonizIng of the factions. 1t has
been some time since the Governor
and the Leader have been eating
out of the same pie wagon. The
Governor says he cannot believe
that peace has been restored back in
Preston until he receives a letter
from the Leader in his own hand
writing pledging himself a loyal
subject of the Governor and how
happy he feels TO be rehabilitated IN
the graces of his Excellency. The
Leader will forget that he ever lost
any Of his chm whiskers under the
monument which his valor and
patriotism helped erect when the
Governorreplies and tells him how
glad he is to learn that he has grown
too old to kickl
Just now we are having a local
pie family quarrel which threatens
the destruction OF the high balls
which have made our family so
famous during the sessions Of the
Legislatures, the primaries and on
election days. The evidence adj.
duced so far goes to show that some
of the piemen violated the grating
laws in calling upon the saloon
men TO contribute to a fund TO op
pose tie Women's Christian TEN

shows that the Union had moved
it's headquarters to Grafton and

doing few stunts before the Fair

that they cannot agree in the distri-

war path after Senators Marshall

would not agree to place a new pie

ty, is under arrest charged with hay
ing put paris green into a we'll on the

having sent an orange containing
strychnine to Mrs. Lundstrum, daugh-
ter Of Johnson, who is teacher in the

liminary hearing has been set for Au-
gust II. According to the prosecution

trous results ensued. The orange was
sent to the state chemist and was dis
covered to contain enough strychnine

Washington, ID. c., July i5.-The
Japanese legation here has received a
cablegram from Toxic detailing the
action Of the Island of Sakhaiin on
July 10 and IL, in which the Russians
We're forced to abandon their positions.
The cablegram is as follows:
THE Sakhalin army reports that I'm
pursuing the enemy it dislodged him
from the neighborhood OF Seladimiro-
Zha and Blijimeye, two miles west of
Neladimirohka, on the 10th OF July and
occupied both places. The enemys
main force retreated to fortified posi-
tons northwest of Dalineye, where
with some machine guns a stubborn
resistance was offered. Our army
commenced a vigorous attack on the
18th and routed the. enemy toward
Mauka, on the dawn of the 18th. The
enemys' loss is not obtainable. but
probably at least 49,"
Toxic, July 15.-An army officer who
has returned from Manchuria says
that the expectation that General Line
witch would assume the aggressive Is
diminishing. The Russians who for
merly conducted the most active recon
naisances, General Linevith, with his
stan personally going TO the advanced
line in an endeavor to draw out the
Japanese and discover the positions Of
strength, have ceased and 1t is believ-
ed that General f.inevitch's tactics
now are to be non-aggressive and en-
tirely on the defensive.
Reports Of the existence of epidemics
and contagious diseases among the
Russians continue to reach the Japan

Later details from Karksakorvck
say that the fire which continued to
burn until July 10 practically destroyed
the town.

AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
Large Portion of Maine Shal<en-Peo-

Portland, Me-, July 15.-An earth
quake shock affecting a large portion
Of Maine, occurred at $40 a. N. today
and was noticeable for about ten Sec
onds. 1t was said to have been more
severe than the shocks of March p,
1904, which occurred about l a. m. To-
days trembling awoke many people
from sound sleep. 1t was reported
from Bangor to Hitter, and from above
Harrington to the coast at Rockland
and seemed most severe in central
Maine, and especially at Augusta and
Wateryille.
Two shocks were felt in Brunswick,
1hOmaston and some other places, the
second being more severe than the
first. In the vicinity of Portland a
rumbling noise accompanied the shock,
being heard by Captain Gilbert NJ.

tory, who became familiar with earth
quakes while living in Mexico. The
state prison at ThomastOn was shaken
but no damage was done there or in
any section of the state.

A BI!ACKMAILlNG SCHEME
Charles f. Shle. of the Society Edi-
tors Association. Held by the Grand
JUry-Attemptcd to Ccercc Parties
in Subscribing $500 for a Book

New York, July 15.-Three promi-
nent society persons have informed the
district attorneys Office that if their
services are required they will appear
as complainants against Charles e.
Able of the Society Editors Association
who was yesterday held in $500 bail
by the grand jury on a charge of at
tempting blackmaii lodged against him
by Edwin M. Poteat, member of the
New York stock exchange. This an
nouncement was made today by Assis-
tant District Attorney Paul Krotl.t
who has been assigned by District At
tOrney Jerome to prosecute Able on
Mr.. Posts complaint. The allegation
against Ahle is that he attempted to
COrece Post into subscribing for book
dealing with New York society, which
was to be printed and sold to sub
scribers at $500 per copy. Mr.. Post al
leges that Able told him that a scan
dalous story involving his name, which
was in the possession of New YorE
society publication, would not be
printed if he subscribed for the book
At the time of Ahle's arrest the police
found a list containing the names of
many persons prominent socially. OPP
posite each name were figures repre-
senting sums ranging from $500 to
$1,000. Up to today Mr.. Post has stool
alone as complainant against Able but
now, according to Assistant District
Attorney Krotlet he is to be reinforced
by two women and one man of nign
social standing who are ready to press
complaints against the prisoner on the
same grounds taken by Mr.. Post. Mr.
Krotlet explained, however, that these
offers were conditional. The persons
were ready to testify against Ahle, he
said, only if guaranteed that no ques-
tions be asked concerning the scan
dals which they allege were mentioned
when their subscriptions were solicited
