STIRRED UP AGAIN
School Controversy Again at the Front
In Dexter.

Dexter. Me. April 7.-(SpeciaD.-The
school controversy which everyone
thought was dead and buried at the
annual town meeting held two weeks
evident Things have been reasonably
quiet for the past few weeks, or since
town meeting, at any rate, but they
have been stirred up again by the ac-
ton taken by the school committee at
the meeting held. last Monday night.
This meeting was held for the purpose
of affecting permanent organization.
This was done and the several sub
committees were appointed and in adj
diton to these two men, Charles FAR
rar and Joseph Ganeau were named as
truant officers for the ensuing year.
Since then or during the past few
days it has dawned upon some OF the
noliticjans who have interested them
selves in town politics during the past
month that the school board had really
appointed truant officers contrary TO
the usual custom of having them APP
pointed at the town meeting or by IN"
board of selectmen. These politicians
and v.ould-be politicians claim that its
contrary to law and that the superin-
tending school committee has no right
to appoint truant officers and over this
matter quite a question has arisen
1t is stated by some that providing
the selectmen hesitate too long befor"
making their appointments that the
experimenting school committee has
a perfect right to appoint its truant
officers. while on the other side 1t is
claimed by some that it belongs to the
selectmen alone to make these appoint
uents. How the matter will end is Il

RAILROAD WREckINO.
Hardest Work Which the Soldiers Had
TO Do During War and Sometimes
1t Counted for little


Tearing up a railway" said the cap
tain 10 the Inter Ocean reporter. was
the hardest work the soldiers OF the civil
war were called upon TO do. Al first We
thought that n We tore up half-mile OF
railroad track and threw the rails in
creek or river We were Accomplishing
wonders. But later we learned this
didn't count. The rehs would relay the
track In two hours after they had driven
Us on. After such an experience We tore
up miles OF track. built fires. heated the
rails red hot in the middle. and bent
them about trees. This settled the rail
question, but a. was slow work the fires
were so many signals 10 The enemy. and
about half our regiment was captured.
In another case We did a thoroughly
good job and destroyed a railroad by
cutting II al Intervals OF two or three
miles and burning the bridges. This
was not so funny when We we're called
upon three months later to rebuild the
bridges and relay the track The boys
came TO the conclusion that there were
two sides to the railroading business.
Later in the war railroad raiding count
ed for less and less. because armies car
ried duplicates OF railroad bridges and
materials for Teconstructing tracks.
In the Atlanta campaign Gen. Johns
ton, holding kenesaw mountain, sent his
cavalry 10 sherman rear 10 cut the rail-
road. They tore up some miles OF track
and burned several bridges. Gen. Johns
ton was 50 much ,elated over the result
OF the raid that he issued a congratula-
tory order TO his army. saying that the
railway had been cut and that sherman
could not get a single locomotive or
train through TO his army. The order
had scarcely been read when a dozen
trains steamed into Sherman's camp.
The railroad had been repaired as soon
as destroyed. and Sherman sent all the
locomotives TO the picket line on his
front TO whistle the news 10 Gen. Joe
Johnston and his men"
