1t Advances Patrons Interests With
out Disturbing Others.
The Penobscot Pomona Grange COM
pany was recently organized and has q
capital of 100000 for the purpose of
dealing in groceries, grains and feeds
and all sorts of farm supplies. 1t
also intends to buy and sell farm prod
uce on commission, and there Is pos
sibility that cold storage plant will
be erected in Bangor by the same COM
rany iD the near future.
The movement which resulted in the
organization Of the Penobscot Pomona
Grange company was started by some
of the leading Patrons Of Penobscot
county who believed that greater CO.
operation among the farmers in the
vicinity Of Bangor would be greatly to
their mutual advantage. Their aim
IS to advance their own interests with
out disturbing others. With this idea
In view they have adopted some gen.
eral rules of trade, which seem entirely
plausible and businesslike. They pro-
pose to do a strictly cash business and
sell goods at the average retail mar
ket price, and any profits which accrue
above running expenses and interest
on capital are to be divided among the
Patrons in proportion to the amount of
their purchases at the store, settle
ment being made at the end of every
third month.

Question and nm Answer.

When a demit card becomes void what
must be done for the holder of the demit
to get into another grange? Is n person
who holds n demit prevented from join
ing n grange?
When a demit becomes void, as il
does after one year, the party seeking
admission to another grange would
have to join as new member. A
lapsed demit is worthless. The differ
ence between n demit and Il withdrawal
card is that demit sewers ones rela-
ton from the grange where he be-
longed. while n withdrawal card sewers
his relation from the Order; but a
lapsed demit and n withdrawal card
are OH the same plane, and in either
case Il person seeking to join another
grange would have to join as a new
member.

Galien, Mich, Sept. 11.-At last the
authorities have what they think is an
important clue in the Dynes case. A
postal card was received Monday at
the local postofice ADDRESSED to JUS
tice of the Peace. A. T. Hall.
The card was postmarked at New
Buffalo, Mich. Sept. 10, 1905. at 8
a. m, and read as follows:
IN. B. Mich, Sir: There is party
at N. b. that knows something about
the murder of Lloyd Dynes. 1t would
pay you to investigate, and it would
also pay you to look after the Hill
affair. (Signed) SMITH"
Among other reports regarding the
murdered man was one to the effect
that he was engaged to be married to
Miss Myrtle Hill of Kalamazoo. The
authorities have two theories as to
who wrote the card.
One is that someone connected with
the murder wrote the note in an effort
to throw suspicion in another direc-
ton, and the other is that it may have
been written by some one who saw
the murder committed.
1t is supposed by some that the
tools found near the depot the morn
ing after the murder were left there
by parties who intended to break into
some of the business places of the
village, and that they saw the MUIR
Ier committed and fed The card
was written in a disguised hand, and
1t, was evident that naturally the
writer was fairly good penman.
The deputy sheriffs left for New
Buffalo last night in an effort to find
out who the write is, and what he
knows. The signature on the card
brings to mind the finding of the
blood-stained handkerchief some days
ago that bore the name of Smith.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
Furious Storm Blows Things to Piece
at Escanaba.

FURIOUS Storn BLOWS Inings 10 PIECE
at Escanaba.
/ Escanaba, Mich, Sep. 12.-In ono
of the most severe windstorms that
ever swept this district, damage
amounting to several thousand dol
lars was done late Tuesday afternoon
about the docks ard factories OF the
city.
Two tramways, each 500 feet in
length. connecting the Northwestern
ere docks, were blown down and COM
p,etely demolished.
Two giant coal-hoisting towers,
each weighing 400 tons. on the dock
If the Reiss Coal Co., broke from their
fastenings and forced down the track
for 800 feet before they crashed into
two stationary towers, badly dam
aging both runway hoists.
Two sides of the brick boiler house
Of the Escanaba Wooden Ware Co.'S
plant were blown in, damaging the
machinery and making it necessary to
close down the plant until repairs can
be made.
The entire end of the warehouse of
the Stephenson dock was carried out
and trees and telegraph poles were
blown down in all parts of the city.
A crew of 20 men was at work on the
hosting towers at the Reiss Coal Co. s
dock when the giant framework of
steel began to move and gained mo.
mentum with each foot.
The crew rushed out on the bridges
extending over the docks and dropped
to the coal piles. 20 feet below. AL
bert Smith, fireman on one of the
towers, was burned about the face and
arms in an attempt to draw the fire
from the boiler before the crash came.
Because of the blowing down of the
tramways connecting the ore docks,
all electric lights on the docks are out
OF commission, as the light wires,
which were supported on. the tram
ways, lie in tangled mass in the
bay.
The night crew will not be able to
work on the docks until the damage is
repaired.

THE GRANGE PICNIC
Three Sources of Profit to BE Derived
From These Summer Outings.

Ihree sources OF Profit to BE Derived
From These Summer Outings.
The grange picnic has come to occupy
an important place in the grange cal
endar, says State Master Fuller of New
York, and that we may get the full
benefit from this annual event it will
be well for us to remember that we
may reasonably expect three sources
or profit from a picnic-frst, the per-
sonal benefit that comes from relaxa-
ton and rest from our strenuous farm
life; second, the educational and In
structive benefit of the addresses and
lectures, and, third, the stimulating
effect to the Order from interesting
others In the work Of the grange. In
order to get the first mentioned benefit
from picnic we must throw off for a
day all the care and worry about our
business and come to the picnic with a
determination to have good time. To
this end 1t Is good Idea to forget for
ever any little personal dislike we may
have for any other members of the
grange and get right up close to them
and see if we cannot discover some
lovable qualities in them. The amount
Of educational benefit to be derived
from p'ss'lc is something hard to de-
termine, 1T the speaker will certainly
be better able to give you something
helpful and uplifting If he is met by
somebody duly appointed for that pur
pose and made to feel that he Is well
come and that you are gut he is there.
He will give you better address I'M
der such circumstances than he will IL
he is left to browse around the woods
until time to make his speech and then
have to talk against baseball game,
q merry-g o-round and red lemonade
speeler. All these things are proper
adjuncts to picnic, but do not mix
well together. The third and last bene-
fit to be expected from the picnic, the
attraction of those outside the gates to
join the grange, is certainly worth ca
tering to. Take some trouble to invite
those whom you think would make
good members of your grange to at
tend the picnic, and when they get
there see that they have a good time.
Think about these things when you are
arranging your picnic and see If they
do not add to the enjoyment and bene-
fit of your annual outing.

Floyd Harper Never viii Be Re-Trled
For Murder of Policeman Daley.


Detroit, Mich, Sept 11-Judge
Fhelan, Monday morning, nolle pross-
ed the case of Floyd Harper, and the
young man was set at liberty.
When Harper was informed that
Judge Phelan had ordered his release,
lie was so pleased that for a minute
he could not express his joy.
The action of the court, while ex-
pected by him for weeks, came as a
great surprise; even his attorney, F.
H. Aldrich, not being present when
the assistant prosecuting attorney
Pumps, made the motion "of necessity
and not of DESIRE" as he stated.
Charged with the murder of Police
man John F. Daley, on the night OF
Nov. IT, 1904, Harper and his bro
tper, Zach, were arrested the follow
ing evening at their boarding house,
200 Lafayette avenue. Since then
Zach has been found not guilty after
being incarcerated about a year, and
since Nov. "a, almost two years. Ow-
ing to motion for a new trial and
he weak features of the prosecutions
case, Floyd Harper was not transfer
red to Jackson prison, following his
conviction, Feb. 20, 1905, and almost
immediate sentence to life imprison-
ment.
The motion ta drop the case was
made by Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Bumps, the reason given be-
ing that the necessary witnesses
could not be secured.
