snturday,r Town Mrrting.

A special meeting Of the voters Of this
town was called to order in Weston Hal
lat Saturday afternoon at Z O'clock.
The warrant @as read by Town Clerk
George simpson and Lyman l. Walton
WAS chosen moderator
The first cltiz n to address the chair
was Jefferson savage and bio motion 10
take up at once article vi, calling for
an appropriation Of 1900 for the Public
Library, prevailed. Mr. Savage then
stated his views. presumably shared 10
arpe extent by bis comrades in Rus

all eady an appropriation Of five hundred
dollars In favor Of the Library, made a.
the annual meeting, which hal been
assessed and could be made use Of at
any time by the trustees Of that iD6titu
ton, provided they were willing to
comply with the nditions imposed bs
he town at It's adjourned meeting il
IN April, that the approximation nov
called for should not prevail
The matter Was debated at consider
able length, |. l.. Walton, Era Or J

prominent in opposition 70 any appro-
pfiatlon for the library excep, under
restrictions That would recognize tie
claims Of Russell Post to The use o!

Fred +. Lawrence, Gen. Isaac Dyer, K.

and Prof d W. Colby urged that some
means be sought TO open the library 10
The fullest extent in view of the adVant
age that it WAS to the students of the
public schools. 1t was finally voted 10
pass over the article, The chair did not
announce the number voting for and
against the proposition but it was evil
dent, on show of hands, that the pro.
portion was not far from four to one
The three articles relating to the
clearing of the Heselton House lot and
building retaining wall in the rear,
were passed over after some discussion
There seemed TO be an element present
who did not care to have any action
taken with regard to the matter and
those who would have been willing to
take definite steps toward the construc-
ton of municipal building, seemingly
the larger proportion, did not wish to
appropriate money for building q wall or
even for clearing up the lot until plans
for the building were decided upon and
they could be sure that every dollar
would count in the right direction. AS
the articles In the warrant would not
permit them to appoint building COM
mittee or to take any steps looking to
the actual work of construction, ii WAS
thought best to defer the whole matter
to subsequent meeting.
There was no division of opinion on
the acceptance of the street from West
Front street to the new saw mill and to
Alder street extension, or to the reloca-
ton of the last named street 1t was
stated that the land damages on Alder
street extension, with the slight change
in the original location, had been agreed
upon and that for the other highway
proposed for acceptance, over land of
the Skowhegan Lumber company and F.
p Pencil, no claim for damages would
be presented, and they were accepted
by unanimous vote.

Opening of the Somerset Ex-
tension to MOOsehead.

The Somerset railroad extension is
now virtually completed, and the train
to pass over the new rosdbed was run,
last week. This was special train
carrying the officers of the road, party
from Lewiston and Auburn, and the
financial agents of the company.
The Somerset railroad was organized
in 1869 with the late Joel a. Gray of
Boston as president. 1t was fully seven
Years before the cars were running to
Norridgewock, a distance of ten miles
In 1873 the company was reorganiZ d
with the late Hon. John Aver of Oak
and as president. Mr.. Aver served un-
I'll 1898, and WAS then succeeded by
Hon. X. w Dunn of Waterville, who
served until 1892, when controlling in
terest was purchased by Gov. John r.
Hill OF Augusta and the presidency CIV
en- to him. Mr.. Dunn still remained as
a heavy stakeholder and director of the
road. Hon. VIM. T. Haines also came
INTO the company as It's general legal
adviser and director and has since been
an important figure in its councils.
The road WAS extended to Bingham In
1891. The Moosehead extension was
commenced In 1904 and this was pushed
a distance Of nine miles, to Dead Water,
by November OF that year. In 1905 the
work was carried on to Lake Moxie, %
miles from Bingham, while the present
season has seen it extended to Kineo on
the shores of Moosehead Lake. The full
distance of this extension Is 81 miles and
for the greater part it follows the
courses of streams and lakes.

An innovation has been decided upon
by Supt. Vaughan of the Eastern Maine
Insane hospital with regard to the treat
ment of tubercular patients During the
summer a number of them have slept
out of doors in tents, pitched in the hos
pital grounds and the effect has been 80
beneficial that the treatment in some
cases will be continued through the
winter.
About ten of the male tubercular pa
tents will occupy a tent pitched in the
pines to the east of the tennis court. A
heating apparatus has been received
and installed 80 that In very cold wealth
or no discomfort will be suffered. There
is large platform on the south side of
the tent where the patients may sit and
sun thems ,lves and the arrangement ia
in every way good one. An attendant
will be detailed to be on duty at the
tent.

Princeton in September, 1873, where
for time he followed the occupation
of numbering. He was at one time
deputy sheriff of Mile Laos county
and had held several town Offices.
Mr.. Harmon had been in failing
health for several years, and a fall
from a housetop sustained by him
about twelve months ago tended
largely to shorten his days. He was
a kindly old gentleman and highly
esteemed in the community.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of the
local Masonic lodge, of which de-
ceased was a member. The impress
sive solemn rites of the order were
read from the ritual by DR.. Armitage
and the remains were Inferred in Oak

HENRY PURSUES TURKS,

MIR. Murphy Climbs Up a Tree and Then
Climbs Down Again.
Henry Murphy ran against a tough
proposition when he started out with
his little Ratchet to secure Thanks
giving turkey from among his flock.
The birds, which would usually eat
from Henry's hand, upon this occasion
suddenly grew wild and few upon
the top of tall tree. Henry climbed
the tree while the turkeys gobbled and
made faces at him. When, after hard
struggle, he came within a foot or
two of the fowls, they all flew down
again. Henry returned to earth and the
turks returned to treetop. "Gol dang
the whole beggarly red-nosed family!"
roared Henry, "I'll blunderbuss their
blasted heads Off" He thereupon
procured his army musket and blazed
away promiscuously among the tree
tops. Not bird seemed to take any
notice of the fusillade, but when the
smoke from the gun cleared away
Henry deserted his flock flying in the
direction of Milwaukee. Mr.. Murphy
started in pursuit, but whether he has
caught up with them is not at this time
known.

Albion K. P. Harmon, an old settler

by general debility. A widow and
one son, Charles, both of whom reside

sixteen was apprenticed to the slater
trade, which occupation he followed
for a number of years. In 1859 he

Grape Culture.

The paramount object in the culture
OF the grape in most parts of the world
has been the obtaining of wine. The
extent of this will be surprising and
hardly believed by those not ac-
quainted with the statistics. Thus,
for instance, there are annually pro-
duced on the globe over 1900, 600. 600
gallons of wine. Of this amount the
United States produces only SO, 600, 600
gallons. Many people know that
golden grain belt beer produces more
health, strength and nerve power than
any other food. It is liquid bread

as he suggested, and now for the bene-
fit of others who may be afflicted with
insomnia, feel it to be my duty to re-
port what happened, SO far am able
this morning to recall the details.
First let me say, my friend was right.
I did go to sleep very soon after my
retirement. Then a friend with his
head under his arm came along and
asked me if wanted to buy his feet.

Boys Shoot Deer.

Otto Craft and Andrew Solberg of
Greenbush, two young hunters of Is
and 16 years respectively, started out
with their guns last Saturday to kill
anything that came along. To their
surprise deer hove in sight. They
did not, however, contract buck fever
and throw their guns away as many an
older hunter has DONE, but both shot
at the animal and dropped it. The
boys are particularly enthused over
their capture, as it was the first deer
which had been seen in Greenbush for
five or six years. .-..-.
