CLOSED SATURDAY NIGHT
A Rain Came to Spoil the Closing
Hours of the Meeting of the
Travelling Men.

There was not much left to do in
the way of the meeting of the travel
ing men when the ball game was
over Saturday afternoon, is the bus
mess portion of the convention was
transacted early in the afternoon, so
that the deck could be cleared and
the whole bunch go out to the ball
game.
In the evening about s O'Clock the
rain storm came up, and while there
was a big crowd down town, it was
quickly dispersed, and the people had
to hunt shelter in the stores.
The electric lights we're turned ON
and the Examinations allowed to
burn throughout the evening and
this made the street scene attractive
for the second time.
Sunday morning the officers and
the executive committee held a bust
ness meeting at the Widmann to
close up the business of the associa-
ton and turn the books over to the
new officers. Rather a queer thing
happened in the election of the pres
ident, when Richard j. Woods was
elected to succeed j. M. Wood, and
the former will make a good success
or to the retiring one
A good many travelling men re-
NAMED over Sunday and Monday
with a tired and weary air, they
shouldered their grips and started off
on the routes which have been neg
lected for a few days while they took
a short breathing spell and had a
grand good time. For the next year
they will be preparing for the con-
vention which will be held at Sioux
Falls, the queen city having been
the successful aspirant for the 1908
convention.
The travelling men were loud in
their praises of what Mitchell started
out to do and the very successful
manner in which she accomplished
it. She had two good towns to fol-
low-Watertown and Aberdeen, but
it was settled beyond all question
that Mitchell rose to the occasion in
a manner wholly unexpected by the
visitors.

Ing wns Called for the purpose OF
hearing the report OF the committee
selected TO engage an industrial com
missioner and to elect an executive
board as an aid To the commissioner.
j. o. Walrath made a brief state
ment to the effect that the committee
had been successful in securing Mr..
l.. l.. Ness, of Sioux City, as the in
dustrial commissioner, and that
from the recommendations he believ-
ed hat in Mr.. Ness the committee
had found a man who would meet
the needs of Mitchell.
Chairman Silsby suggested that
the executive board consist of seven
gentlemen and that from the loard
be selected tie president, vice presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer, which
committee would act as an advisory
board with Mr.. Ness, whom Mr.. Sils-
by suggested should act as secre-
tary of the board. 1t was suggested
t1,1S - aNy ~, ;ftN~ --e E-~ 10 49, - D

and report at once to the meeting.
Mr.. Silsby appointed j. O. Walrath,

This committee was endorsed and
accepted by the gentlemen present
and hereafter they will constitute the
regular executive board. This com

GERS.
The gentlemen comprising this
committee are all boosters in every
sense of the word and they will make
excellent aides to anything that is
attempted by Mr.. Ness. w. e. Turn,
er offered a suggestion that is timely
in connection with the future meet
ings of the Commercial Committee

perry Was Increased Over $780,
900 Over Last Year.

The assessed OF real and
personal property in Mitchell re-
ceived quite an advance owe last
year after Assessor Walrath turned
in his books. A goodly portion of
the increase is due to the taking in
of W additions in the past year
which makes the sum total of real
property larger by about 100000,
together with the increased valua-
ton placed on other city property.
That people ride a good deal in
Mitchell is shown by the fact that
there are GIG horses in the city and
449 vehicles, the value of which is
placed at $20,651. The increase on
goods and merchandise is quite large

was assessed last year.

wisweu Memorial services

Memorial services for the late Chief
Justice Andrew p Wiswell, of Ellsworth,
were held at the closing session of the
June term of the law court in Bangor Sat-
urday afternoon. They were most inn
pressive in character, and were attended
by large number of the members OF not
only the Penobscot bar, but of the Han
cock, Aroostook and Piscataquis county
bars.
The bench was occupied by six of the
judges of the supreme court Chief JUS
tice Emery, Justices Savage, Spear,
Whitehouse, Peabody and Cornish. JUS
tice Woodland and Justice Strout were un-
able to attend. A large number of Bangor
friends of Chief Justice Wiswell were in
the courtroom, and many ladies attended.
The exercises were opened by Oscar F.
Fellows, who, on behalf OF the Hancock
county bar, presented the resolutions of
that bar as adopted at the April term of
court at Ellsworth. His eulogy of the
late chief justice was eloquent. He was
followed by Gen. Charles Hamlin, Hon. D..
N. Snow, of Portland, former Justice
Frederick A. Powers, of Houlton, Hon.
Orville D. Baker. Of Augusta, and Chief
Justice Emery.

the evening Rev. r. B. Mat hews, pastor Of
the Congregational church, attended the
service at the Methodist church, and pro-
nounced the benediction. As an indica-
ton of the spirit of brotherhood existing
among the churches in Ellsworth, these
acts were gratifying to Mr.. Hendee.
Mr.. Hendee comes here highly rec ON
mended. His early education was acquired
in Toledo, Ohio. From there he went
to Taylor university, then to Northwestern
university. and he graduated from Garrett
biblical institute last month. He has
served two pastorates before coming to
this charge, and also has spent some time
in evangelistic work in Illinois.
He is twenty-six years of age, and has a
wife and one child who will join him here
shortly.
Mrs. Hendee has ability as a pianist and
vocalist, and will un doubtedly be an ac-
QUESTION to the social side of the church
and to musical circles in Ellsworth.
Mr.. Hendee expresses himself as well
pleased with the outlook, and believes
that there are opportunities for good work
here. He has been entertained during the
past week by B. II. Mayo and B. T. Sowle.

Verona's mispickel mine is soon to be
worked. Mr.. Heath, the owner, has con-
cluded negotiations with a party of New
York capitalists whereby they secured
control of fifty acres of the land and the
right of purchase within two years. Mis-
picket is a silver white colored mineral
which has been found at various places on
Verona and in the town OF Bucksport,
though never yet in paying quantities.
This deposit which Mr.. Heath has just
bonded, while known to him and others
interested in the property with him, has
been kept quiet and little has been known
concerning it. Experts who have ex-
amined the surface indications Of the
mine say that unquestioAably the vein is
of sufficient size to prove paying one.
The common name Of this mineral is ar
senical pyrities, as from it is secured the
white arsenic from which paris green is
manufactured. The arsenic is secured
from the mineral by roasting the ore and
combining the gas which arises therefrom.
This gas makes the poison.
