The Capital Removal Question In the
House Today,

At this mornings session the matter
of capital removal will come before the
Maine House Of Representatives and
there is every Indication that this
branch of the Legislature will make
an end once and for all Of the prepos-
ferrous scheme Matched up in Portland
to enrich that city at the expense of
the taxpayers of Maine. The Portland
contingent has tried desperately by
claptrap methods to obscure completely
the real issue and to stampede the
Legislature but the Portland wave
has reached its height and reced-
ed and the sober common sense OF
the people Of Maine demands of their
representatives today such action as
shall be for the interests of the who'll.
State. rather than action which woull
benefit noisy and greedy Portland
alone.
There is no general demand for
capital removal. 1t IS solely Port
land movement. There is no general
demand for q referendum on this sub
ject, especially a referendum OF such an
unfair and vicious nature as is provid-
ed for in the measure 50 adroitly drawn
up by Portland in this instance. The
Portland people have known well from
the first that on its own merits the ques-
ton Of capital removal has not had the
slightest chance to succeed in the Leg
islature, but by working the refer
endun dodge they have won some
votes they would never otherwise have
secured, and then have proceeded to
boast that they nave a fund of 100000
available to use in carrying the special
election, ii one is held in June.
One by one the arguments advanced
by Portland for changing the capita
have been met and answered and moth
ing NOW remains except the fact that
Portland wants the capital and that it
has raised a big fund of money to Sc
cure it. if it can be acquired upon
this basis. II is certain that such
a campaign has gone far enough
and it is the privilege of the members
of the Maine House today to give il
the rcbul:e it deserves. There is nc
need to change the seat OF government
or to build a now State House. nor is
there any popular demand for such q
thing. The State needs for other anG
better uses all the money it has OF
hand or is likely to have on hant
in the immediate future. To tn,
number Of more than 10000 the peopi,
of Maine representing every county
have protested to the Legislator,
against this scheme of capital removal
while only a few hundred petitioner:
in favor of it have been heard from
outside of Cumberland county. Til,
people of Maine have already Spoken
upon this subject. There Is no nceC
OF q 100000 referendum Let the mem
bers of the House today do their dur!
honestly and fairly to their constitu
entS and to the whole State.

Bath Independents: Some of the finest
summer resort property in the State of
Maine is located in the town of Phipps-
burg on both the Kennebec and the
New Meadows sides of the town. All
that is needed to develop that property
is an electric road and it seems as if an
effort might be made which would
bring to that locality some of the
street railway promoters OF the State
who. if they could once see the ad-
vantageS which the town offers for q
seaShOre business could be induced
to seriously consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of the establishment of trolley line
through the town What more at
tractive locality could be found thar
that in the vicinity of Phippsbure
Basin. so called? An ideal spot fol-
vacationists who would flock there
by the score if there was an easy
mode OF transportation. Too much
effort can not be expended in attract
| ing the attention of summer people
| to this locality for if once the proper
transportation facilities could be Sc
cured the property there would great
| ~ increase in value and its owner:
would reap a revenue as well as The
town an increased tax.

Having noticed several articles dur
ing the past few days in some OF the
Bangor and Boston papers relative to
the fact that the winter Of 1867 had
been the hardest in years on the big
game of Maine Il reporter had an in
terview Saturday with Game Warden
Daniel L. Cummings of Houlton. AS
every sportsman in eastern Maine
knows Dan is the proprietor of the IA
nous Square Lake camps and has
charge of the warden service for
ArooStook county. Mr.. Cummings re-
turned to Houlton from a long
trip into the woods and he says that
not for ten years has there been such a
favorable winter for big game and all
| this talk about deer dying from ice
and cold weather is absolutely rot. Cold
weather never bothers deer or moose
provided that they can travel to feed
and this year until this present thaw
deer and nose could travel the woods
| with freedom and secure plenty of food
Travelling in the woods now is hard fol-
man or beast but the snow is going
| fast and deer or moose are in no danger
| of starvation. Reports from wardens
| in the county are unanimous that the
big game has wintered we'll and is ir
excellent condition.

A Rochester clergyman was accuq-
toned to use scientific terms, which,
the people did not understand. ~
deputation waited on him with tina
request that in the future, when
ever he used such terms, he would
explain them.
On the following Sunday he used
the term hyperbole, and added: "AR
agreed on, l beg to explain thin
word. Were l to say that at tina
moment the whole of my congregs-
ton are sound asleep it would be by
periodic, but if l say that one-haR
are asleep, that is not hyperbole, buh
the truth"
The next day the deputatiOR
again called to say that the minis
ter need not explain technical terms.
The people would learn their mean
ing from a dictionary.-RochesteT

HE COT THE cOUNrERSICN
Sentinel Had His Own Idea Of His
Duties While Guarding
the Outer Lines.

State Senator Arthur Dewalt, of
Allentown, member of the capitol in
vestigating commission, has a favor
tie story. 1t runs as follows:
Among the troops about Tampa
was a regiment Of Pennsylvania
Germans from my section. One
night the guard was being placed.
Said Private B. to the corporal:
"Now, you dell me vat to do"
"Well, here is your beat. You
walk from that point (indicating)
to this. If anyone comes you say,
Haiti who goes there?' BE will
say to you, Friend, with the coun-
tersign.' You say to him, Advance,
friend, with the countersign.' If he
says 'Pocatelligo' you let him pass.
If he doesn't you shoot"
"Holt NIB, corporal; say dot ag'in.
It's long,
Thereupon the officer Of the guard
repeated the instructions, going over
them carefully.
Some two hours later noise was
heard by the lonely sentinel pacing
to and fro, repeating his orders to
himself.
'Haldtl Who goes dere?"
Friend, with the countersign."
"Adtvance, friendt, NIT der goun-
tersign."
Footsteps approached from the
Jungle, while the sentry grew more
nervous and got his rifle in position
for business. Aiming at the visitor,
now about - feet distant, the re-
cruit shouted:
"Now, you - - -, you
say Pbogatellicho, or 1 zhoot."

Mrs. Anna jenkins Granted Divorce
Daughter Files Suit Against Mother.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Jan. 22.-Mrs. Anna j. Jen-
kins was yesterday granted divorce
from her husband, Ambrose jenkins, on
the ground Of desertion. Mrs. jenkins
was given the custody Of the little boy,
Harry, and $1,000 alimony. She has
been living in Grinnell for some time
past.
Who said the Iowa Central Railroad
Company was not accommodating?
That they are was completely demon
strated Monday morning, when, after
having waited at the G. & NJ. Junction
forty minutes for the delayed north
bound passenger No. 1, they still wait
ed for thirty minutes more for party
of six to overtake them by team from
Grinnell, a distance of four miles. Rock
Island train No. was thirty-five min
utes late, thus destroying the connec-
ton at Grinnell, hence the necessity for
driving from Grinnell to the Junction.
The case of Grace Alexander ct al.
VS.. Hannah Morgan, her mother, ct al,
came up for hearing Monday morning
on motion Of Mrs. Morgan to set
aside a default taken against her last
week, at which time her farm north
east Of Grinnell was ordered partitioned
and sold. Judge Preston set aside the
default and as the matter now stands,
if the plaintiffs still desire to have the
farm petitioned, Mrs. Morgan can de-
fend herself against such action.

started to work to sink a well on land
near the Center coal mine, south of
this city. 1t is said 80 be the object to
strike the same sheet of water which
caused so much trouble when the Cen
ter mine was sunk. In case the water
supply is found to be good, it is the UNI
derstanding that large reservoir will
be constructed The ostensible object
OF this move is to secure water for To-
connective engines. Some, however, see
in the testing of water supply near
Centerville the initial step toward To-
eating a Rock Island division here be-
tween Davenport and Kansas City.
Webster City.
The latest interurban project, and
one that seems almost certain to be
among the first to reach completion. is
line to run from Fort Dodge to this
city. The project is said to be an ex-
tension of the Newton & Northwestern.
The line west of here will parallel the
Iowa Central over most of the twenty
miles it will run. The Fort Dodge
shipping interests, notably the big
gypsum mills have long been looking
for an opening to the westward to con-
meet them with the Northwestern line.
On several previous instances an inter-
urban to this city has been projected,
and at least once before it was practi-
cally financed. Owing to tightening
up of eastern capital, however, the
prior plan was dismissed.
