ON THE ANxIOU ssEAT.

From now on residents of all sec- tions of the town will be on the anxious seat until the crematory dis posal site is settled. The last place suggested is the summit of Pine hill. where, 1t is claimed the plant could be operated to advantage without any smoke stack. But the objectors come back with the question, how could the garbage be hauled up there |? That's a poser. but probably if the right man had the job he would devise means to overcome the obstacle. In- surmountable as it may appear 10 the ordinary mortal. But it is safe to predict that after fussing around for some time the committee will come to the conclusion that 1t would he extremely difficult, If not out of the question. to hit upon a more suit able spot for the plant than where 1t is. Why no body smelled 1t until very recently and probably if people would stop talking about it the thing wouldn't be noticed any more now than in the past.

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS
 LOOK BETTER
FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR CROP
 CONDITIONS.
American Business Men Are Becom- ing Interested in Sale of Goods Scandal Caused by Publica-
 tion of New Constitution.

St Petersburg, April 26-Reports from the correspondents of the Asso- ciated Press throughout Southern Russia and the Caucasus show in gen. eral a thoroughly favorable outlook for crop conditions and the prospect of good yield of grain for the coming year.
 Agrarian troubles are not expected in the southwestern governments and the Caucasus, where the farmers and cossacks are all busy in the fields. but less fvorable reports are received from Saratoff and Samara. Farmers there are delaying the purchase of agricultural machinery on account of anticipated peasant disturbances.
 Several American business men are now visiting southwestern Russia and Siberia for the purpose of estab- fishing further branch houses for the sale of American agricultural imple- ments, the trade in which, already extensive. will it is thought increase very materially within the next few years.

SUIT FOR $5,OOO.
Joseph Ficeto Wants Damages for
 Death of His Son. . a..

Dedtu OI HIS SOIL
 Attorney Bauby, acting for Joseph Ficeto, administrator on the estate of his son, Dominica, has brought suit against the Consolidated Rail- road Co for $5,000 damages for the death of his boy, who was 8 years of age when he died. The Ficetos lived in the vicinity of the railroad yards and 1t was quite an ordinary affair, it seems, for the small boys to steal a ride on the freight trains as far as Hancock and back. One day Domini- co took his uusal jaunt. and on the homeward trip he was riding on the buffers of car. A brakeman saw him and on what followed there is a difference of opinion between the railroad people and Attorney Bauby. The latter claims the boy was kicked of, or made to get off, the train while ittwas in motion and that he fell be- tween the cars and was instantly killed. The railroad officials say that the boy was fooling with the brake man and that he lost his hold on the car and fell. Anyway the boy was killed instantly.

It was always the policy of the company to keep its money among it's stock holders as much as possible and to that en.l Mr Williams was given the Insurance on the building. which is considered one of the most valuable In the city.
 There was no means today of as- certainIng what amount the building is insured for at present. as those who had that information were not in town. But Mir Williams said that when he had it. 1t was insured for sy1.Gnn. the premium on which at one percent was si00.
 After war was declared between the stock bolders I. r. Kellogg saw that he as president of the concern had power to place the insyaane where he liked and he lost 10 time In doing so when the policies expired This was quite recently and F. !. Browns agency has the policies now.

VISITED CREMAT0RY.
Mayor and Committee Appointed By
 Him Had Outing To-Day.

The members of the garbage com mittee, accompanied by the mayor, paid a visit to the crematory in Wa terville this morning and were much displeased with the conditions exist ing at the plant. They found the place in very bad shape and the committee is of the opinion that something must be done Immediately to abate the nuisance. They agree with the Waterville people that as things now exist there is just cause for complaint. The crematory is in bad shape and the land around the plant is also in a terrible condition.
 The members of the committee do not care to discuss the situation un- til the committee has been formally organized, E. o. Goss being still out of town. The committee will hold another meeting this evening in the mayors office and some suggestions will in all probability be made, which If carried may settle the muddle.
 The members of the health board are still of the opinion that Water vile is the place for the crematory and see no reason for changing the plant.
