UNITY.
Mrs. Samuel Rollins, who met with seri-
Gus accident several days ago by slipping on
the kitchen floor and diSlOcating her Shout
der, is slowly improving at this writing.
The Herald Square Stock Co., who played a
return engagement here last week, went to
Skowhegan Monday for a weeks engage

Me-. The Unity Telephone Co. changed
the central Office recently from DR.. }. E.
Cooks to Rodney c. Whitaker's residence
on Main street. Mrs. Cook was an efficient
operator and no doubt her successor will
prove to be the same. Although many
accidents have occurred among the lumber
men in this section this winter but one has
proved fatal. A Mr.. Richards of Clinton,
who has been employed by Edgar Mari for
sometime, was cutting some large trees in
the woods near here when pine limb 3
inches in diameter came down and struck
him on the head, crushing him to the ground.
Medical aid was at once procured, after
which he was taken to his home, where he
died the following night from his injuries.
He had wife and six small children and
much sympathy is felt for his family. Mr..
Mari being IA kind-hearted and sympathetic
man hired his crew to cut and manufacture
ed at once to the needy Ones.... Mr.. Gannett
was thrown from his pung recently and drag
ged several rods before stopping his horse.

is very much better. His little baby, who has
been very ill, is also better. Mrs. George
Written, dressmaker in town, is rushed

Mrs. Matt. PentletOn and youngest daughter
went to Portland last week to visit her sis
ter. =. Miss Margaret, daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. E. M. Soule, a bright little one of
years, met with thrilling experience a
short time ago while out riding with uncle
George, as she calls him. Mr.. W. called at
LefOrest Webb's and took the little girl in
to the house and went out with the men for
short stay when suddenly she darted out,
got into the jumper, took up the relns, gave
the horse, which needed exercise, two or
three strokes with the whip, and the reader
can imagine the rest. After great strug-
gle the animal was caught, and little Mar
garet was found in the bottom OF the jump
er clinging to the rigging, fortunately UNI

shaken up and the harness broken. but for

CAMDEN.
An accident Feb. 18th came near proving
fatal. The upper floor of the building of
the d. P. Ordway Plaster Co. caved in and
several of the girls were pinned in one cor
ner of the building. About one-thrd of
the floor gave away and struck in such
manner that it was found necessary to
make hole in the fallen floor through
which to get the young ladies out. Miss
Georgia Bohlin was badly hurt, the floor
striking her on the back She was taken at
once to her hone and a physician summon
ed. Her injuries are internal and it is fear
ed they are serious. Miss Jessie Barrett of
Camden and Miss Bertha Shibles of Rock
port were injured, but not seriously The
ID. 7. Ordway Plaster Co. employs about
100 girls and it seems miraculous that there
were not more injured. The floor that cav
ed in was heavily loaded with prizes given
away by this company and floor and COLI
tents came crashing down without warning.
Work was continued in the afternoon and
the repairs ON the building will begin at
once. 1t looks as though there will be

LIBERTY.
The members of G. H. Bradstreet Post,
g. A. R., have secured the services of
Frank w. Gowen of Waterville to deliver
the Memorial address at this place May 80,
1905 -Four members of this post have pass
ed on to the eternal camping ground within
the past year. By death and other causes
our ranks have been thnned from $40
members in 1883 to 26 at the present time
and yet we close up as the dying fall, and
press on. Our last regular meeting was
one of the most enjoyable we have
held for a long time. All will be much
panied to learn of the death of Conlrade
Alexander WOodman, which occurred in
Auburn Friday, Feb 10th. Comrade Wood
man was chaplain of this post for more
than ten years. He went to Auburn to live
about ten years ago. At that time he severed
his connection with this post to become a
member of Burnside Post at Auburn, where
he has been an active member. None knew
him but to love him, none named him but
to praise. His old comrades of E. ii. Brad
street Post will remember him as a loving
husband, kind father, good soldier, true
friend, honest man and worthy comrade
May his sleep in the quiet city of the dead,
be the rest of him, who:
Sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approached thy
grave
Like one thar wraps the drapery Of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

personal NOTES.

When Senator Clark settled 100000 on
his new grandchild last week, he merely
gave one months output of his famous
United Verde mine. No matter how many
grandchildren, the senator is loaded for
them.
A man named Claus lives near Mar
shall, Mo-, and he has a son whom he
named Santa. The latter about this sea-
son of the year hardly dare appear in
public because of the alleged jokes per-
petrated at his expense.
Edward Robinson. former director of the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts, has been
selected as assistant to Sir Purdon Clark,
the new director of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, New York City. Mr.. Rob-
inson graduated at Harvard in 1879 and
studied five years abroad.
John NJ. Gearin, Oregons new senator
at the age of IS entered a Catholic uni
versity in Canada for the purpose Of
studying and qualifying for the priest
hood, but at his graduation he elected
to follow the law instead, which he has
practiced in Portland for~the past twenty
five years.
Though an American citizen now, Colo
mel John Sobieski, once prohibition candi-
date for governor of Missouri, indisputably
is rightful king Of Poland. He lives at
present in California He was born in
Poland in 1912, and he and his daughter
are the only known direct descendants
of the warrior king Of Poland, John
Sobieski.
Raymond Lynch, known among his
friends as Judge" Lynch, the veteran
proofreader of the Courier-Journal, was
retired by that paper today on a pension
for life at full pay. Mr.. Lynch was born
in Louisville in 1894, and in 1886 was ap-
prenticed to the Louisville Journal, pub
lished by George D. Prentice and George
W. Eissinger.
The first man to stereotype a newspaper
page was Charles Craske, who died on
Sunday in Woodbridge, n. j., at the age
OF So. He did this great thing in 1862,
at the suggestion of Horace Greeley, and
the result. of course. was a great though
still a gradual change in newspaper print
ing, for it was years before it was the
general practice. Mr.. Craske had carried
on the craft of stereotyping and electro
tipping in New York City for over fifty
years, his company being in Pearl street.

ANOTHER GAME OF BCNCO

1t Is easy for demagogues to make
some people believe that the moon is
made of green cheese. When the propo-
sition for municipal lighting plant was
up before the people of Omaha one year
ago. il was opposed vigorously and
viciously by merchantable politicians
aud marketable newspapers. These
despicable mercenaries succeeded in
believe that the scheme for a municipal
lighting plant was gotten up in order
to defeat the acquisition Of the water
works Ey the city, when, in fact the
ordinance submitting the electric light
proposition was introduced in the coun-
ell under sham pretenses, with the idea
that it would be put TO sleep in some
pigeon hole.
To the surprise OF its parent,
the late president of the gas com
pany decided to- go out of the street
corner gas lamp business and his friends
in tie council pushed the municipal
lighting ordinQnce to final passage. 1t
is a m6tter of notoriety that the Trainer
OF the proposition worked with might

were plugging against it at SO much

A.
cheaper light and glibly talk about dol
lar gas, knowing all the time that the
parties who offered to give us dollar
gas were simply trying TO procure a
franchise TO sell out. These dollar gas
promoters asked for franchise for
! forty-three years with no royalty TO pay
before the end Of five years, and ten to
one their concession would have been
sold to the United Gas company, and
\ the city, as well as the private con-
sumers Of gas, would not have been any
better off than they are now. In other
words, the present company would have
| secured an extension of its present fran
chise for thirty years and under the
! charter OF the new company would have
been in position TO avoid paying a roy
atty for i've years. This would have
caused a loss TO the city OF one hun
dred thousand dollars, at least.
J Nobody in the council, or out Of it,
has ever yet been able to give any good
reason why Omaha should grant forty

CHRISTMAS PLATITUDEs.
Old Hut Good, and Beneficial If Lived
I'd To.

Christmas comes but once a year-and
that is too bad The Christmas spirit
ought TO rule all the year round That is
the time when earth is lifted nearest
heaven. If we could but fix the motives
which control men then and give them
perennial force, il we could diffuse
throughout the whole year the light
heartedness, the righteousness and senti-
ment of mankind at Christmas time, the
world would be better for it.,
Men and women are made little chill
dren again-the hardest OF them. Tender
ness and the spirit of giving, peace and
good will prevail Exchanges of gifts, joy
business and celebration make us all sim
pier and better men, women and children
for a season. Church bells ring, anthems
are lifted up, and the simple story OF
Christ in the manger, the salvation and
civilization OF the world, the one great
primal truth OF Christianity is retold in
thousand tongues.
Imperceptibly the influence Of Christmas
does extend throughout the year; the in
1uence Of that first Christmas nineteen
centuries ago has made the Christian era,
and it is the promise OF the worlds future
1t symbolizes the entire uplift of the hu-
man race, and holds the bright prospect
OF time when intelligence and Christian
virtues, the law of the commandments
and the Golden Rule shall wholly and
powerfully control human conduct, when
education shall have become world wide
when there will be no more people born
into dense ignorance, because there will be
more dense ignorance to be born into,
when enlightenment and higher and
broader effort will make of man a more
effective and finely spiritualized being and
the world a nearer approach to paradise.
Those OF US in the present generation
have seen much of actual progress which
may be thankfully ascribed to the influence
OF that which we celebrate on Christmas.
Christmas will have its best influence
when II makes the individual reflect upon
its meaning, when it engenders humbleness
and simplicity and purifes motive. This
platitude has been rung as often as Christ
mas bells have sounded, but the old plati-
tudes are best at Christmas. as in every
other time. The cid truths are the truths
We live by. or ought to live by, and the
truths by which We have our best living.
