Garland f. Bailey.

On the 22nd day of August Garland F
Bailey laid aside the mortal to put on
Immortality. Though his life has been
short one, lacking one month of being
81 years of age, his influence for good
has surpassed that of many a hoary
headed man of three score years and
ten The Methodist Episcopal church
has lost one of its strongest supporters
He WAS first in all its works. His stalwart
form bore the brunt of battle; his
pocket book made up many deficit.
AS sunday school superintendent he
had few equals and to supply his place
in that position is great problem in the
church. AS the president of the League,
he became a source of inspiration to its
m M bers, and his influence for good
will be long felt in the village of North
Arson
Garland F. Bailey was a son of Benz y
min +. and Emma Nj. (Crafts) Bailey
He was born in Baileyville, Washington
Co, Maine, september 22nd, 1873.
When he was eleven years of age his
parents moved to North Arson, Maine
where Garland attended the common
schools and the academy of Gaid town
He graduated from the latter institution
spring took special work at the academy
and taught school in the spring of 1897
During the fall months of that year he
entered one of the best fitting schools OF
Massach usetts, the Worcester Academy,
where he became very popular and a
leader in the religious life of the school.
He was one of the contestants for the
Dexter prize essay, button account of i'll
health ives obliged to give up the work
In order to regain his health he engaged
in an out of door occupation In 1901
he entered the University of Maine and
took a special course in chemistry, az
ricuture and dairying.
In 1902 he became the Superinteu nd
ent of the "Carrabassett stock Farms, y
one of the largest general farming con
Germs in the county. Their extended
diaries and other departments were
built and equipped under his direction
He was married Oct. II, 1905, to Annie
NJ. Libby of Unity, Maine. Miss Libby,
or as We now know her, Mrs Erland
Bailey, is graduate of the maine Cen.
trial Institute" and the Bangor Train
ing School for nurses" Mrs. Bailey
had become one of the most skillful of
nurses aud when her husband was taken
sick last May she brought to him all her
skill multiplied by her love, and through
all the changing forms of the disease
she has watched as a ministering angel
at his side.
Whilst some of the best specialists of
Maine and Massachusetts have been con-
suited and the best medical skill of our
town has been employed, slowly but
surely he wasted away. In the morn
ing of Aug. 22nd, he laid aside the NOR
tai and put on Immortality: Psalm,

Election Day.

Election for state and county officers
occurs one week from next Monday,
September TO- The polling place for
Skowhegan will be In Weston hall, on
Island avenue, and the polls will be open
from eight a. M, to five p. m. The Of
fees to be filled and the names of the
candidates which have been put In nomi-
nation appear on the official ballot which
is published on page six of this issue.
The method of marking the ballot ls
the same as for several preceding cleo
tions but our subscribers are recon-
mended to read the ballot carefully and
familarz9 themselves with its provi-
sions. The requirements for marking
the Australian ballot so that 1t will be
counted according to the intention of
the voter are very simple, but notwith-
standing this a great many defective
oallors are cast at every election.
Skowhegan voted at Its annual meet
Ing in March to have its ballot booths
constructed according TO the provisions
OF the Mercy amendment, socalled, and
the necessary number of booths have
been made, ready for use on September
10Th. The new voting booths are SINH
lar to those previously in use but are
provided with a door which screens the
voter to such an extent that no one can
see how he marks bis ballot. This
makes the ballotng entirely secret as
was doubtless the intention OF the
original trainers of the law,

MIR. Towards Lecture.

Clinton n. Howard of Rochester, N.
Y, spoke TO large audience 10 the
Methodist church, last evening, under
the auspices of the Maine Civil League,
on the question of Constitutional Pro-
hibition. Ii is safe 10 say that the
Maine prohibitory law was never more
effectively defended before Skowhegan
audience nor has the saloon ever before
be en- so satirized and arraigned and the
socalled arguments in Its behalf been
made TO appear so utterly ridiculous as
during Mr.. Towards two hours adj
dress. Mr.. Howard did not aim TO be
elo quent, or possibly 1t might be more
truthtully said that it would not occur
10 an auditor that the address was
eloquent or otherwise, but every sen
tence was the truth driven home and
often illustrated with brilliant humor
of which Mr.. Howard Is the complete
master.
The lecture WAS noE-poltcal except
IN so lar as the great issue OF the FRO
hibton 10 relation to the present poll
tical campaign in Maine is concerned.
Ga this point Mr.. Howard made the
strongest kind of appeal to voters of all
political parties to support the party
and the candidates that stand emphati-
cally for the prohibitory law and It's en-
forcement.
Mr.. Howard has lived all his life in
license communities and his disgust for
the license law is great. Ills description
of the struggles of the temperance peo-
pie of Rochester to get the saloon to
observe the provisions OF the license
law of the state Oh New York was high
ly interesting. Tue speaker showed
beyond question that more unlicensed
dives exist In license states than In
states that have prohibition l. is past
Nr. Howard's comprehension that II
friend OF temperance can believe license
10 be superior to prohibition Ia its con-
troll of the lquer traffic.
Mr.. Howard if a powerful speaker and
his work in the Name cities aud towns
for the next few weeks cannot fail to
strengthen the cause of Prohibition
greatly.

While many other candidates for Con.
gress have to explain their positions on
various topics, when they come before
their constituents asking rtheir suf-
frages, Hon. c. E. Burleigh of this Dis
trict has an easy time of it. He has no
excuses to make; nothing to explain
away. His record Is clean and transpsr-
emf, and is read by all. A man Of and
for the people, with character unblemish-
ed, with an experience In dealing with
public aft airs running back almost to his
boyhood, with clear aud comprehensive
grasp of the business OF the country,
Mr.. Burleigh's Influence Is felt and &C.
knowledged in governmental affairs. he
is an untiring and determined worker,
and that counts everywhere. His posi-
ton on al questions is always pronounce
ed and we'll known. No attacks will or
can be made upon him. IL is great
compliment to Mr.. Burleigh that on the
eve of another election he is so rooted
and grounded in the hearts and affections
of the people of Blaine's old district.

large amount Of time, labor and money
has been expended 10 producing these
pictures, and the play was especially
posed and rehesrsed for this purposs.
The same talent, scenery and cos
tunes used in the original production
were used for taking these pictures, the
company having played "Parsifal0 the
whole OF last season. The result is that
picture both dramatically and photo
graphically perfect has been produced
Parsifal is the greatest religious subjec

The Won Ende Concert.

The hEpoRTER extends it's hearty
congratulations to the Christian Endeav-
or society of the Bethany church for
their second successful concert on Tues.
day evening.
Herwegh Won Ende has made host of
friends during his brief vacation here
this season and when he came forward
in his opening number the audience
gave him most cordial welcome.
In his playing he is an artist of the
very irst order. The breadth and dignity
which he gave to the Adagio of the
Bruoh G minor was an artistic triumph
in itself.
His playing of the Hungarian Fantasy
by Hubay was the very embodiment now
of the poetical depth and again of the
whimsical, capricious humor that is so
characteristic of the Hungarian nature.
His tone is rich with warmth and color
and at times flows unceasing from end
to end of the bow like liquid fire.
The gracious consent of Madam
Palscek to appear in this concert gave
the greatest pleasure to her many friends
and admirers here And again abe wins
her triumph and proves herself the
artist. for certainly only a wonderful
voice and big personality could sing
the Heroiade by Massenet as it was sung
by Madam Palacek on Tuesday evening.
| In the Ave Maria she was recalled again
and again, and graciously responded
with an encore.
Samme Kotler played his Fantasia
one who is destined to become a king
among violhlsts, and the way he lifted
the audience and carried them with him
for nearly a half hour is ample evidence
of the strong hold this boy has on the
hearts of his audience.
AS an accompanied and as a soloist
Miss Morrison did splendid work. Espe-
cially in the Cracovienne by Padere wski
did she show herself the genuine artist.
M essrs. Donald Morrison and William
Small admirably sustained the parts as
signed them in the ensemble playing.
Miss Elizabeth Chaskin had been pre-
vented by illness from rehearsing the
numbers with which her name was as
ISOLATED on the program and therefore
appeared on the platform but once dur
ing the evening, this being in the duet
with Master Samme Kotler. The ap-
plause which followed the rendering of
the Symphonic Concertante by these
youthful players was such as to leave no
doubt of their prosperity.

Revolution is in progress in the little
Republic of Cuba So accustomed are
the people there to fighting, that state
of quiet and peace seems monotonous to
them. No political issue seems to have
been raised upon which to pin revolt.
The attempt of the malcontents OF the
opposition partakes of the nature of a
political adventure for personal ends.
The conspiracy concerns three men
chief, Gen. Carlos Garcia, Gen Loynsz
del Castillo and Juan Glberto Gomez,
who are close friends. There has been
blotdshed by several revolutionary
bands, numbering from ten to one hun
bred. Several of the ring-leaders have
been killed, although President Palma is

is at present no disposition on the part
of our government to interfere in Cuban

The home of Mrs. Fronia L Trafton

pretty sunset wedding, yea erday. when

mony occurred in the parlor of the
home which had been prettily decorated
with evergreen and white sweet peas by
the friends of the bride.
Promptly at six o'clock the bridal
party entered the room'fTom the library
to the strains of Lobengrin wedding

of Dorchester, Macs a friend of the
bride. The party was led by little Mics
Ardis Lancey and Master Arthur Moul-
ton, two pretty children dressed entirely
in white, who acted as ring bearers
Next came the bridesmaid, Miss Birdeua
Traitor, sister Of the bride, and the
best man, Mr. j. Harvey White of

bouquet of sweet peas. The brides
maid wore pretty gown of pink BALI ii

were rendered ON the piano by Miss
Bacon who is an accomplished pianiste
The young couple have large circle of
friends from whom they received many
beautiful and valuable presents which
were on exhibition at the reception.
Although the home of the bride was
in Hartland, she has many friends in
Skowhegan where she graduated from
the high school. After studying under
some of the best teachers in the state,
she completed her musical education at
the New England Conservatory of Music
in Boston and has since been a very
successful teacher of music In Skowhe-
gan and Hsrtland.
The groom is one of Skowhegan's
popular and promising young men. He
was a member of the GLASS of 1904, Show
hogan high school; and for the past two
years has held position of trust and
responsibility in the post Office.
Immediately after the reception, the
bridal couple left for Pttsfield where
they took the night pullman for
a wedding trip to parts unknown.
On their return, they will begin house

Quickly ExtiDguished

Shortly after nine O'Clock, Saturday
evening, Elmer Wentworth, who lives
on Park street, just in the rear of the
Congregational Church, discovered
smoke issueing from the stable owned
by Mrs. D. M. Bacon and adjoining her
residence On Island avenue. Mr.. Went
worth is employed at the Skowhegan
Electric Light station and he rung in
the alarm from the private box located
in their dynamo room, the signal from
which is tea successive blasts. The fire
department laid two lines Of hose and
extinguished the blaze without much
trouble, having arrived on the ground
before the fl mes had progressed very
far from the point where they originated.
Investigation soomed to indicate that
the start OF the fire was a small pile of
hay on the stable fl ior. What could
have ignited it is a mystery not likely
to be solved. There was a broken pane
of glass in window nearby through
which a spark may have blown but
there was no known source from which
spark could have come except the
chimneys Of the neighborhood and they
are all at such distance as to make 1t
unlikely that the fire should come from
them. No horses or other animals were
kept in the stable; it was used chiefly
for storage and no one had been in the
building on that day or for several days
previous.
The loss oCcasioned Is small and fully
covered by insurance.
