At Lacrosse the celebration was

1000 people attending. The most
notable feature of the celebration was
a speech by ex-senator J. R. Burton.
Mr.. Burton spoke on The Govern
ment Our Fathers Esta blished and Our
Government Now" He spoke in his
usual eloquent and nasterful way and
held the audience spellbound for over
an hour. He said he had not come to
praise high ideals but to bring a mes
sage of truth. Among other things he
referred to the policy of strengthening
our navy to maintain peace as no more
reasonable than It would be for neigh

volvers and bowie knives at a discus

been said that Burton was a hypo-
critic.

When, last summer, the Board of
Trade invited the State Grange to meet
in this city, it did So relying upon the
proverbial hospitality of our people
well knowing that the hotels and
boarding houses could not possibly ac-
coinmodate all our guests.
We must have entertainment for 500
more people.
This is not matter of gain. We
just want the people of this city to
open their homes to these visitors and
give them cordial welcome. Those who
desire to do so can charge, not ex-
Ceeding 81 per day per person.
But do not let this fee enter into the
calculation. Because these visitors are
coming and because we must care for
them and because we want them to
have the best meeting they ever had,
We make this request.
Will you not, such as have not been
called on, Immediately notify the sec
rotary that you will take one or two
persons.
The need is urgent and this call is
as personal us it can be made.

Roy c. Smith of Eassalboro. son of
George r. Smith of this city, lost
a valuable horse yesterday morning
by drowning in the kennebec river
The horse was one of Il pair with
which Mr.. Smith had started to cross
the river to the Sidney side. after a
load of wood. and was but a few rods
from the west side of the river when
the animals broke through the ice.
One horse was saved. but while every
effort was made to get the other, and
although the men succeeded in hauling
out on the ice several times, the ice
was so weak that he broke through
again. and was finally drowned. The
Horse which was saved was in the
water for long time. and was so
thoroughly chilled that il was con-
Sidered doubtful last night whether or
not he would survive. Teams had
been crossing the river Il short dis
lance above where the accident
happened and the ice was considered
safe.
