Was 1t A Murder?


CHINA, May a. Coroner II. B. Smell of
Waterville held an investigation today to
determine the cause of death of Hadley
Keller, aged about 60, whose bruised body
was found on the steps at the rear of his
house three miles from this town where he
lived alone. 1t was attended by Deputy
Sheriff Charles Jones and Dr. g. j. Nelson
of this town, who began the investigation
aud decided there was probability of foul
play, and High Sheriff Frank j. Ham of
Augusta.
A suspicious circumstance was that all
the entrances to the house, except the front
door, were locked when the body was
found. The police ara working on the
theory that kellar was murdered while
away from home and that his body was
carried to his house. There was bruse
temple, some slight scratches on the face
and a large bruise over the heart. No arrest
had been made early today.

The city council of Los Angeles, Califor-
mia, voted away franchise worth 81, ,OOO, 900
and the whole city is up in arms. Rev,
Frank S. Forbes, pastor of the East Side
Congregational church, voiced the popular
indignation from his pulpit and in a ringing
arraignment of the city council demanded
that they resign in body His words
caused the congregation to break into loud
and prolonged applause, this unusual spec
tacle on the part of body of church-goers
coming at the peroration of sermon abound
ing in righteous lashing of the council.
The Los Angeles Examiner prints and COM
mends the sermon, with portrait of the
"pastOr whom people cheered for his stand
against the Council" Rev. Frank 5. Forbes
is q. Brooks man, who has won distinction in
his calling.
MIR. Harry L. Mcfarland, who accompa-
MED the remains of Mr.. Charles O. Clark
from East st. Louis, ILL.,, to Belfast, is a
native of this city and had been associated
with Mr.. Clark for twenty five years, their
relations being like those of father and son.
When Mr.. Clark spent year or so at his
home here some IS years ago, Mr.. McFar-
land came with him and accompanied him
when he went west to engage in the hotel
business. When Mr.. Clark assumed the
management of the Royal Hotel in East St,
Louis Mr.. Mcfarland took the position of
steward and in the absences of Mr.. Clark
on business or pleasure was the manager.
His journey east with the remains was
very trying one as he was detained seven
hours in New York city in order to get a
permit, so that leaving East st. Louis Tues
day night he did not arrived in Belfast un-
til Friday morning and had but little rest.
He left yesterday for East st. Louis and
was accompanied by Mrs. W. A. Kimball,
who will join her husband there. 1t is
possible that they will take up their resi-
dence in East St. Louis.

Dear Sir: The commonest lie for paints

the paint; the old paint; and the painter
all three.
It is true of Devoe with margin. Devoe
is too thick for some jobs; the painter will
add some oil, sometimes not always; es.
pecially in cold weather. Mr.. Albert Page,

This Means Us.

A Maine city is to enforce the city ordi-
nances strictly, and if any of them prove
unpopular they will be repealed. But there
are sundry ordinances that are handy to
have in certain cases that would make row
if they we're enforced all the time, although
the city would doubtless be better off if
they were all strictly enforced.-Gardiner
