II is now claimed on good au-
thority that Henry Wadsworlh Long
fellow was pretty well Jagged when
he wrote Excelsior" one Of his
finest poems. It seems that Charles
Sumner had sent him a case Of
champagne just before he wrote this
immortal poem and that he was
under the influence Of the cup that

A Good Work

Attention is called to the fact that
the rubbish has recently been removed
from beside the Russell road. Some Of
our citizens have persistently used this
for dumping ground, making what is
naturally one of our most beautiful roads
an eyesore to passers by. The Town
Improvement Society brought the mat
ter to the attention of the town officials
who would gladly have had the place
cleaned up, but could not because of the
small appropriation for highways and
the many demands made upon 1t. The
society then took up the case and has
had the old tins, carpets and refuse of
every description carted to the town
dump 80 that now nothing detracts from
the beauty of the road save the piles of
brush IL ia hoped the road side can be
kept clean in the future.

Town Nj Getting

An adjourned town meeting was held
in the new engine hall. yesterday after
noon, to listen to the reports of the
several committees elected at the meet
ing held May 18th L. L. Walton, Esq,
presided.
The committee elected to Investigate
as TO town building and build.
ing site, composed of e. A. Ross, S. w
Gould and our board of selectmen, r.
F. Parker, S. Fl. Bradbury and Augustine
Wyman, made two reports. The ma
jority report signed by the four last
named gentlemen was in favor of the
purchase of the lot of the Coburn Hall
association, it being stated that at a
recent meeting majority of the stock
holders voted to sell said lot to the town
at $50 per share. Mr.. Ross of the COM
mittee presented minority report,
whereby he was'opposed to the purchase
and gave his reasons at length. The
two reports led up to much discussion,
Lewis Anderson, s. W. Gould, A. K.
Butler and E. F. Fairbrother being the
chief participants with result that the
information was evoked 1t was not the
property that'it was voted to sell by the
association, but a majority of the stock
represented at the meeting Z. \. Mer
rill, Esq, who owns large block of
this stock, and was not present at the
time the committee reports were made,
announced emphatically that he had no
thought of selling his stock at this figure
and that seemed to bring the matter to
final determination. 1t was voted to
lay both reports on the table.
Lewis Anderson for the committee
elected to look into the matters as to
whether by the destruction of Coburn
hall block, the town lost all rights it
possessed in the property, as well as to
| look into what rights, if any, the town
claims by virtue of a bequest the late
Gov. COburn made the association in
his will reported that after discussing
| the questions at issue with ten SHOW
hogan attorneys and one Boston at
torney, the feeling prevailed almost
| unanimously that the town still retained
some rights Upon motion by Mr..
| Anderson it was voted that our board of
selectmen with the town agent be in
structed to investigate into the matter
| further.
just before adjournment E. f. Fair
| brother in speech that was decidedly
| pertinent to the point at issue rected
many advantages that might be gained
by the town by making use of the New
Engine building for town purposes, be-
lieving that by extending the building
back to cover the lot, distance of 80 or
80 feet the present hall could be enlarged
sufficiently to take care of all town
needs. and that the building could be
made to accommodate as tenants every.
thing in the way of town offices, munich.
pal court room, lock up, etc. Such a
plan seemed to meet with the approval
of all present, and f. +. Fairbrother,
Augustine Wyman and j. p. Merrill
were elected a committee to look into
the feasibility of the idea, ascertain the
approximate cost and report at meet
ing to be called for August 18th.

The movement for peace seems to be
progressing fayorsbly. Washington has
been agreed upon as the place for hold.
ing the conference of the two nations
and early in August has been designated
as the time Of the meeting. The names
Of the plenipotentaries have not yet been
announced. No definite movement look
ing to an armistice appears to have been
made and another general engagement
in Aanchuria before peace negotiations
are advanced is possible. Japan looks
TO Russia to take the initiative in the
matter. 1t is certainly desirable that
this armistice should be arranged and
thousands of lives saved.

The annual wheat harvest is Oh in the

be from $l,75 to $3.50 per day. Later,
demands for men will come from Ne
braska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Ds-
kots and Minnesota. Men who 90 TO

Deputy Sheriff f. E. Atwood OF New
Portland arrived here, Friday, with OILS
II. Reed Of Wilton, charged with arson
in setting fire to the Blaisdell House in
New Portland. Thursday. The officers
story is that he was once an employe Of
the hotel, and became enamored of Miss
Tershner, the owner, who rejected his
suit. The fire started apparently, in the
ell on the lower floor of the building.
Two men going to the fire saw a nan
riding rapidly toward the Franklin couu-
ty line on bicycle, head down. The
man refused to stop or answer questions.
He was coatless, and wore striped
shirt. Reed was Just in this condition
when arrested. Reed was given hear
ing at the Court house, Tuesday after
noon, before Judge Bachelor. Thos. J.
Young, County Attorney, was assisted
by Fred F. Lawrence, Esq, in conduct
ing the case for the state, and Forrest
Goodwin, Esq, appeared for the re-
spondeut. Judge Bachelor found prob
able cause and bound the prisoner over
to the September term OF the Supreme
Judicial Court, ordering him TO give
bonds In the sum of $1,000 for his sp-
pearance.

A peaceful solution of the difficulty
between Norway and Sweden is in pro-

the position taken by the King.
