of them included in the kind feelings
that are expressed for me.
The political situation in our state
no ,,e
ernor Cummins at Fort Dodge seem
to require further statement from
me to the republicans of Iowa at this
time. For several years the party has
been unfortunately and, as it seemed
to me, unnecessarily divided in it's
councils. II there are any issues relat-
ing to our state government which
need seriously divide the party, l do
not know what they are. Nobody, so
far as I have heard, attacks the rec

Primary Laws.
1.-THE most important matter Of diff
ference among us appears to be the
proposal for n primary election law.
There is an evident disposition every
where to provide additional safe
guards for elections by protecting the
party primaries from fraud and manip-
ulation. Several states have recently
taken action to this end. some of them
much more radical than others. With
out attempting to discuss the matter in
detail, it would seem that it might be
dealt with without serious party di-
vision. If the principle of legal sup
ervision Of primaries could be estab-
lished. our own experience with such
a system and the experience of other
states with the law which they have

vessel of Coleridge's Ancient Mari- ner"
 In the days when L1ngfell5w formed his friendship at Harpswell there were still living upon the Neck old men who knew the name that was borne by the phantom ship when she was a reality of oak and iron and sailed the seas with strdy Yankee crew. The fisher men affirmed that they had been per sonally acquainted with her captain and with members of her crew, all of whom were lost when the ship went taown on the, reefs off the Neck and thus became a phantom; and the poet tells us that in his day there sat in the shipyards of Freeport aged men who had hewed the heavy oaken timbers that made her frame. From all this the belief of early Harpswell men in the phantom ship seems handed down to the present generation, although no one claims to have seen the phantom in recent years, Her last appearance, it is said, was about the year 1878, at which time she was seen by four or five persons, some of whom are yet living, and all of whom were positive as to the apparition looming up off Harpswell Neck in the November dusk.-Thomas- ton Herald.

but her phantom has been immortal ized in the verse of Longfellow, and is thus distinguished from the common sort of ghost ships that are told of in ship chandleries all along shore from Passport to Kittery Dongfellow had the story of the Harpswell apparition from old sailors of Harpswell Neck who were full of superstitlous lore and believed in their ramances of the sea as much as they did in the stories of John Paul Jones of the fight off Mon began between the Enterprise And the Boxes.
 The Harpswell people declared that the dead ship came often to their shores, although she never reached the harbor. She came always at dusk and generally in stormy weather, appearing in the offlng and coming straight on, with all sail set, only to fade away like a mist when close in. Not only the Marpswell folk, but the fishermen of the islands of Casco bay, believed in the phantom, and In the ill-omen of her coming-that her appearance off shore was a sure sign that within a month orape would hang upon the door of one of those who had seen her. Longfel- low, who had spent much time in the company of these sailor-fshermen, heard and was familiar with all iheir tales, and selecting the most pictur- esque of these he wove them into the poem that is so familiar to readers of hil works.
 The Harpswell tars told the poet all the details. of the ghost ships appear ance-how she seemed always to come in fog CT mist, although the weather at the time might be perfectly clear. No crew was to be seen upon her decks, no hand at her helm and she came on with neither flap of sail nor ereak of bloek-llke a veritable spirit ship. She was much like the ceiebra- ted Flying Du5chman or the phantom

Every acre of meadow land will have from half dozen to a dozen skunks roaming about through the long grass in search of their food and only a stout club is required by the expert to effect their death. Many are trapped, and the country lad who is acquainted with the habits of the little animals will now have his traps set about the cornheld and hen yards, places the skunks are most likely to frequent.
 The man who hunts the skunks for their fur and oil will postpone his hunt ing until late September. Then, when the moon is bright and the nights are getting frosty, the skunks roam abroad in the greatest numbers. Then, too, the fur has thickened after the she'd ding of the old winters coat and the skins bring the best price. The season for skunk hunting lasts from the mid de of September until well Into No- yember. When the heavy frosts of the latter month come the fat skunks which contain the valuable oil den up for the winter. Others, which may not nave the necessary lat to carry them through the winter in a snug den, wan der abroad all winter.
 The prices paid for skins are rsgula- ted in large part by fashions in furs. The skins which are most valuable are those of the darker animals. A pure black skin is worth from one to two dollars, according to quality Striped skunk skins bring from twenty-five to forty cents, while those with a part stripe bring from fifty to seventy-fve cents. Three years ago tho skin of a dark skunk brought from two and a half to three dollars and there were not enough of the skins to meet the de- mand. Since that time, however, the musbrat has supplanted the skin in popular favor and the decliSA ia price Is the result.-Kennebec Journal.

MAY REPORT FAvoRABLY.

Defense of Suits Again Police Officers
 to Fall on Corporation Counsel.
 The aldermanic committee which is Investigating the advlsability of mak- ing it portion of the duties of the cor poration counsel and the assistant cor poration counsel to defend police offi- cers who incur suits while in the per formance of their duties, and also the advisability of increasing their salaries therefor, held hearing in city hall last night.
 Mayor John P Studley said that he was in favor of increasing the salaries of both officers and of requiring them to defend in all police cases and all cases of city officers. The policeman, he said, often found himself in hard situation. He had to act on the spur of the moment and, like all men, he was liable to errors of judgment. He said there was an element of equity and justice in the proposition.
 Louis NJ. Ullman, president of the board of police commissioners, was present and said that he thought it the duty of the city to provide counsel for the officers. It was not the purpose, he said, to allow officers to call on the corporation counsel without restraint. The police board will first look into the cases and will refer them to the cor poration counsel if proper. He con- tended that the passage of the measure would tend to lessen the number of suits brought against police officers.
 When asked if he thought the sal aries of the corporation counsel and the assistant corporation counsel should be increased he said that he had not looked into the matter of salaries, but that ha woula be i7 favor if it was fla vored by those persons who were bet ter acquainted witr the duties of the office than he.
