DURING the past week Governor Stokes
signed his name to two important laws
one providing for the popular election of
United States Senator, the other abol
ishing all conventions except for Govern
or and Congressman. The first measure
will not go into effect until 1910, but that
will not prevent the people from giving
expression to their opinions at any election
prior to that time. The adjustment of
county conventions will be regretted by a
few who considered those gatherings their
one chance to appear In public as repre-
sentative of his people, but to the major
ity the new rule will be welcomed. OF
COURSE new measures for certain things
will have to be adopted. There will have
to be some chance to get platform built
and the veteran resolution Trainer will
have to be given show to get in his work
on 1.-THE Democrats In convention assem-
bled." But all of that will be worked
out before the time for action arrives.
Hereafter every candidate will stand on
his merits before the voters and instead of
few men assembling and being wheedled
by promises or coerced by threats the
voter will cast vote in the box directly
for the candidate of his choice.

In the beginning of the eighteenth
century the now SO powerful German
empire was nothing more than the lit
tie kingdom of Prussia, having lust
dropped its title of duchy of Brandon
burg. The country was very poor and
the military discipline very harsh
Frederick William l. was hard, cross
and stingy and did not even know
what 1t was to make present His
reputation was SO widely spread that
1t became byword to say that man
had worked for the king Of Prussia
when he had done an Improbable task.

Diphtherla at Hebron.

The term at Hebron Academy was in
definitely suspended last Monday, about
ten days before its scheduled time, and
the students returned to their homes, on
account of two cases of diphtheria in the
town. On the 5th of the month, young
man who had previously been employed
by a Hebron farmer came from log
ging camp, and after having been around
town for a short time, was found to be
sick with diphtheria. He was at once
isolated, but few days later the woman
of the house where he had stopI cd, who
took care of him over night, came down
with the disease. In view of the facts,
it was thought advisable to avoid any
chance of an epidemic by suspending the
school.
BY order of the state board Of health
the lumber camps Of c. B. Cummings &
Sons and Carter's camps at Bemis have
been quarantined on account Of an out
break of diphtheria there.

A Double Tragedy.

There is a deep mystery about the
burning of the state fish hatchery at
Squaw Brook, near M0osehead Lake,
and the death Of two men there last
Monday. The two men, whose remains
were found in the ruins, were A. W.
wilkins of Winthrop, former superin-
tendent Of the hatchery, who was to have
left In few days, and Arthur Hersey,
who had recently superseded wilkins a.
A teamster who was
passing the place found both the hatch
cry building and the house, which are
not connected, on fire on the inside, in
that two fires had been set.
He was unable to enter either building.
The body Of Hersey was later found in
the ruins Of the hatchery, with bullet
hole In bis head, and wilkins body was
found in the cellar of the house, also
with bullet hole In the head, and re-
volver with empty chambers beside him:
It was at first supposed that wilkins had
shot Jersey, fired the buildings, and
then shot himself, but it was later dis
covered that the bullet hole in Wilkins
head could not have been made by him.
self, and the affair Is all mystery.
Since the above was in type the verdict
of the coroner's jury has been rendered.
The officers and members of the coroner's
jury do not accept the theory OF the
physician who said wilkins could not
have shot himself, and the verdict In the
wilkins case Ii suicide.

Factory at Bryant's Pond Burned.
LEWIS N. MANN SON SUFFER AN.
OTHER LARGE LOSS.

The clothespin factory of Lewis NJ
Mann & Son at Bryant's Pond was burn.
ed early Thursday morning. The fire
apparently started in the boiler room,
and had gained too much Roadway to
make it possible to do anything toward
saving the building. By hard work the
store house and other small buildings
were saved.
The loss is from $4,000 to $4,000
with no insurance.
Mr.. Lewis n. Mann Is we'll known as
the king of the clothespin business, and
factories are run BY the firm at West
Paris, Bryant's Pond and Milton. The
firm has in the past suffered severely
from fire, several factories having beer
burned and one building wrecked by 8
boiler explosion.
Fifteen or twenty men were employed
In the mill.

Two Fatal Accidents.
OTHER DEATHS AND ILLNESS IN AN
DOVER AND VICINITY.

ANDOvER, March IA.
With us this has been q winter OF
much sickness and many deaths, some
very sad ones. The prevailing epidemic
is no respecter Of persons, old and young
alike are taken.
A most painful accident occurred here
last Friday, the 9Th, in which the Agar
old son of Mr.. Llewellyn Damon lost his
life. The circumstances as nearly as
can be learned are, as Mr.. Damon was
going into the yard with drag load OF
wood, the little fellow, unnoticed by his
father, ran out and tried to get on the
load, but fell and the heavy logs rolled
him along the road under them before
the team could be stopped. It required
the strength of several men to lift the
logs from him. He was conscious for
nearly half an hour but soon passed
away. Mr.. and Mrs. Damon have the
sympathy of all in their sudden bereave-
ment. Services at the Congregational
church Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Hannaford
officiating.
Saturday following a young man by
the name Of George Gaudet of Prince
Edward Island, but later of Bethel, was
killed by logs rolling over him at Baker
Thurston's camp in c township. The
remains were taken to Bethel.
Mrs. Margaret Stevens, an old and
respected resident of this town, died
March - at the home OF her daughter,
Mrs. Ray Thurston. She leaves family
of grown-up children.
News was received yesterday OF the
death of Mrs. Fred Merrill of Roxbury.
This death seems more sad from the
fact that she leaves seven small children
to battle with the world without a
mothers care, the oldest being only Is
years. This is truly sad house. Rev.
Mr.. Hannaford will conduct funeral
services at both places to-day.
The lumbermen are coming out of the
woods now. Report says that 1t has
been prosperous winter, and all will
overrun their contracts.
Winter holds on we'll. Hay is plenty
but selling at good price, SIP and $l4
per ton for loose hay.
