The Cuban Hurricane

As details come In what is called the
cuban hurricane does not appear to
have been so destructive in Cuba itself
as on the coast of Florida and in the
adjacent islands and at sea In Cuba
there was comparatively small loss of
life, while the damage to property is
placed inside a million. The sugar and
tobacco crops suffered severely, but
there was not the complete devastation
experienced by Porto Rico in 1899, when
1000 persons were XII led and damage of
S22 coo 600 inflicted 1t WAS among the
low Florida keys and among the ship.
ping caught in their vicinity and be
tween uba and the main land that the
havoc was wrought. According to a
Miami despatch the death list will ex.
coed 1000 and millions of dollars worth
OF property was destroyed. Many bar
ges and other vessels were torn from
their mooIiugs and sunk or carried to
sea with their whole crews, and fears
are felt for the safety of the fruit and
fishing tieets. One of the enterprise 8
which is likely to have received a severe
check is the extension of the South
Florida railroad by bridges and solid
work from key to key az to Key West
This daring and costly engineering work
was lately pictured in some of the illus
trated periodicals. and it had already
progressed to considerable extent, but
it is reported to have suffered severely
in this storm. Much of the work will
have to be done over, and il is probable
that the plans will have to be modified
on account of the danger of storms. 1t
would seem that the railroad embank-
ments and trestle work built in and
through water exposed to the sweep of
tropical hurricanes must be risky in
vestment. 1t was among the workmen
emp Dyed on this railroad extension that
large part of the loss of life occurred,
as well as among the jewellers on the
KEYS.

Grand Eucampment of Maine
Odd Fellows.

The annual session Of the grand en-
csmpment of Maine. |. o. o. F, was
held Thursday in Odd Fellows hall,
Portland, and was largely attended.
Grand High Priest, Willis A. Bailey of
Skowhegan, who has been acting as
grand chief patriarch since the death of
Eugene K Bowler of Rockland. a few
months ago, presided over the sessions
The reports of the officers we're read
and adopted. Very little business of
public interest was transacted except to
change the time of election for repre-
sentatives to the sovereign grand lodge.
1t was voted to elect representative
every year inst sad of bi-ennially as in
the past. The change was made for the
purpose of putting the jurisdiction of
Maine in a position where it will be
eligible to chance of getting the office
of grand sire for member of Maine II
ever desired. Under the old custom of
allowing representatives but two years
there was but little chance to gain this
recognition, but under the new plan one
representative can be retained perman-
emily In the sovereign grand lodge and
thus give Maine an opportunity of Sc
curing the highest Office in the gift of
the order in the near future This
method of election prevails In other
grand lodges and SO Maine decided to
adopt the same system of electing its
representatives.
Resolutions were adopted In memory
of two very prominent members of this
branch of Odd Fellowship who have
died during the year: Grand thief
Patriarch, Eugene r Bowler of Rock
land AMI Past Grand Representative
Grin B. Written of Portland.
Resolutions were also adopted con-
graduating two aged members of the
order, both of whom were in attendance
upon the sessions One of these, Milton
Higgins of Portland, observed his 10th
anniversary Thur sday. The other was
the veteran, James n. Reade. also of
Portland who celebrated his SO birthday
Wednesday.

The Winter Street Case Again.
TIE SOMERSET RfpoHrgK,

sKa~HEGASl NJ VI.
Dear sits:-Novembef y 1904, the
selectmen Of >ko1 hogan granted Us a
| permit on v inter street 10 get poles AZ
far east as Cour, street and also the
right to string wires from Court street
| te North street on Winter street. %
We have wire rights the whole length
Of Winter street and pole rights for the
whole street except the space Of four
poles, on the extreme east end.
When we built Winter street this
simmer, We set those four poles, under
mistaken impression of the Business
Manager that the permit covered the
whole street for poles. II had been a
year and a half since the permit was
given and as the company now has I'M
limited permits 10 some fifteen TO
eighteen towns, it becomes a little
troublesome 10 keep track Of all the de-
| tails of the business.
OF the four poles in question. two
were located on Mr.. Henry Danes lot,
| and Mr.. Dane twice gave us his consent
for them TO remain there; as We under
stand il. he is still willing for them 70
be there
OF the other two poles, one was locat.
ed in the line between John Demos lot
and Charlie BurnoT's lot; the other Was
located between J. Thompson's lot aud
Sir. habops lot.
Since this controversy over these two
poles has come up, the New England
branch line,-the Maine Telephone
Company, has been given by the select
men of Skowbegan. pole rights the
whole length Of this same Winter street
and also pole rights on not less than
fifteen other streets in Skowhegan viii
lage. hey had large number Of the
skowhegan streets already poled.
AS our lines now come off North
street by way of Lawton Street, they
pass through the heavy top of a good
sized ash tree; consequently all our sub
scrbers at East Skowhegan, Malbons
Mills. Hilton Hill, Athens road, West
Ridge road. Lakewood, East Madison
Scion, North Arson, Bingham. Embden,
Moscow, Caratunk and The Forks, com.
prising some two hundred and fifty tele-
phones, must continue to talk through
the branches of the old ash tree on the
corner of North and Lawton Streets.
What we had hoped, was that we
could bring in our trunk lines from up
river by way of Winter Street and thus
improve our service by clearing off the
worst ground which we have to contend
with between Caratunk and Skowhegan
to wit the ash tree above mentioned.
We gracefully submit to the decision
of The county commissioners and admit
that the intlunces working against us
were too powerful to contend against
and therefore we must abandon the
idea for the present, Of leading our wires
into town by the proposed route.

Mr.. Theo D. Hadley of Kenneth

| Dear fTleDQ:
| You will remember Of my writing you some
time ago regarding Urc.O for rheumatism
l took your advice and purchased three bot.
ties from my local druggist and began its use
at once. Favorable effects were experienced
and day by day improved. l have used the
three bottles and can truthfully state that
am a well man.
Uhc-O has cured in me as bad a case Of
rheumatism as ever existed. My suffering for
months was intense some nights not able to
get one moments sleep, could not raise my
right hand to my head-had to do all with
my left. | could not even dress myself for
over three months. My trouble being in
flammatory rheumatism had settled in my
right arm and shoulder Gripping, as
! thought, permanently. This is the third let
ter have written, a thing hardly expected
to be able to do again. as | did not think
could possibly recover from the terrible effects
of the disease, as you know am past the
four score year on the way to the New Te-
rusalem | am happy to state that after
suffering so long with the most painful forms
Of rheumatism, that Uric-O has cured me and
nearly normal conditions exist. My former
strength is improving, and yet for all am S.
years old, sleep well again, eat well and as
hale and hearty as a man at the age of fifty.
| thank you again most heartily for recon-
mending Uric Q to me. can now recon.
mend il to my friends

The rear of train 40, east bound

into near the semaphore at Burnham
junction on the main line, Friday, by an
engine and caboose running special from
" atervile. Engineer 5. l.. Smith and
Fireman Ira Allen of the special jumped
before the collision and received several
bruises and scratches. II he caboose of
the freight was badly smashed and two
box cars thrown across the track. The
front of the engine of the special was
damaged. 1t is reported that the en-
