Brother Starr of Lamberton is

the county doing just that thing,

account for visiting nearly hun
dred schools was certainly moder-
ate one, the board would not have
been justified in doing anything less
than to allow it.

The Waseca Herald reminds farm
ers that in the matter Of cleaning
and preparing seed wheat, last year.
most Of those who desired to clean
their seed put off the work until
late and then all came in at once.
This late rush to clean the seed was
too much for the capacity of the
machines and all men could not be
accommodated in time. Hence it is
for farmers, while the
roads are in excellent condition and
The weather is fine and the cleaning
machines are at leisure, to prepare
their seed early right away. Moth
ng can be more important to the
nan who sows grain than number
me seed.

after being successfully flOated yes
terday. from the Hen and Chickens
reef. sank again this morning in
fOrty-une feet of water Of the lee
shore Of Pennikese Island. Command

were taken off by tugs and brought
here. Chief Engineer WitherspOon
insisted on remaining on board with
s men but when the ship finally went
down he had to flee TO the forward
rigging from which he was taken with
great difficulty. The vessel was sunk
by the blowing out of an air yort
which permitted the flooding of the
compartment containing three giant
air compressOrs. The vessel lies easily
on an even keel and can be saved.
The trouble was caused by heavy

Real Rose Hat Pins

1t does not seem possible, yet it is
true, that these Hat Pins are made
out of real live roses, changed entire
ly into metal by secret process, pre-
serving every detail of the rose from
which each pin is made. They cannot
break and will last forever. This dis
covery is without doubt one Of the
lost arts of the ancient Egyptians.
They are the most beautiful Of all
Hat Pins. No two are alike. Finish
ed in five colors to conform to the
prevailing fashion in millinery. Made
in six sizes, from the smallest rose
bud to the full blown flower. These
pins are made by the genuine DE
LAMOTHE' secret process, the only
process by which an open rose can be
perfectly metalized. Don't buy any
inferior imitation. All genuine DE
LAMOTHE'' Metalized Real Rost Hat
Pins have the name stamped on the
pin.

William Biggers, s Cedar Ave, W. SOM
erville. Mass.
The Sd VT. one of Fox's fighting req
iments, was organized at ST. Johnsbury.
July 16, 1861, the original members
mustered out July q. 1864. and the
remaining men consolidated into a bat
talon of six companies and retained In
service till July IL. 1865. 1t was com
manded by Col. VIM. F. Smith. West
Point graduate. who was promoted 10
BTigadier-General in August, 1861, sue
ceeded by Col Breed Noyes Hyde, who
resigned Jan. Is. 1868. Col. Thomas
%. Seaver then took command retain
ing the same till expiration of his term
of service July 81. 1864, when Col. Hor-
ace W. Floyd succeeded him. The regi-
ment was, noted for the splendid ply
sique of its men, who averaged five feet
10 y inches in hight and 161 pounds in
weight. At Lees Mills four companies
of the Sd Cd, e, F and K) forded the
stream in the face of the enemy to
make reconnaissance in force. They
were driven back thru lack of support
with loss of SO killed and wounded
out of a total of 1872. The detachment
was under Capt Samuel E Pingree,
who was wounded twice during the
fight. At Cold Harbor the gallant Col.
Seaver, who commanded the regiment
in most of its battles, led them In bloody
assault; with line of less than 800

Editor National Tribune: Kindly say
something about the 18th Conn. VIII
you please print the names of battles
Walter II. Stebbins, New London,
Conn.
The 18th Conn.,, one of Fox's fighting
regiments, was organized at Hartford,
and left the State Dec 16, 1861, to
join Burnsides Roanoke Expedition. Its
first battle was New Berne, where it
lost six killed and 81 wounded There
is discrepancy in the records as to the
Colonies. The Official Register gives
Col. IT. H. c. Kingsbury as its first
Colonel, who died from wounds received
at Antietam. Fox says that Col T. H.
C. Kingsbury resigned after the Roam
oke expedition, and was succeeded by
Lieut.. II. w. Kingsbury, of the 14th U.
s.. who thereupon put the regiment in
high state of drill discipline and eff
cheney, and was killed at Antietam.' -
The regiment was then in the Ninth
Corps. Col. Griffith A. Steadman sue
ceeded to the command of the regiment,
was brevetted Brigadier-General, and
killed Aug. 5, 1864. in the trenches be-
fore Petersburg. He was succeeded by
Col. Randall H Rice. Maj Joseph II.
Converse was mortally wounded at Cold
Harbor. The regiment was then in the
Eighteenth Corps. and was subsequently
transferred to Devens's Division of the
Twenty-fourth Corps. Out of total
enrolment of 1865 it lost AS killed
and As died in Confederate prisons. Its
principal battles were New Rerne, An
tietam, Suffolk, Drewry's Bluff Cold

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

1t is singular that while the Prohi-
like prairie fire. IN Maine. where Pro-
hibition originated. there is strong dis
satisfaction with 1t, and a rising move
ment for resubmission. Prohibition
has now existed in Maine for over so
years and it is claimed that it does not
that there were 1881 arrests for drunk
enness last year, in a small city of
$4,000 people, and 1t is estimated that
there are from $50 to 225 places in the
city where liquor is sold. The situation
of Bangor is peculiar and must not be
taken as typical, since it is a resort for
the lumbermen, who are exceedingly
FESTIVE under the operations of Prohi-
bition and many inscriptions men and
women are becoming very wealthy in
the business of furnishing liquors to
them. In one instance where dealer
marked that he would be able to get
this all back in two or three good Sat
urday nights. There is a complaint that
the elective officers will not execute the
law, and n special force, the Sturgis
men," was set at the work, which for
broom usually does, but soon relaxed
its efforts. 1t is now alleged that the
Sturgis men are mainly interested in
drawing their SO day and expenses.
For various reasons there has risen a
demand for the submission to popular
Constitution, which prohibits the man
ufacture or sale of liquor in the State.
The Democrats are q unit for this,
while the Republicans are divided. The
Republicans have three excellent men
as candidates for the nomination for
Governor-WiIliam r. Haines, of
Waterville; Bert NJ. FernaId, of West
Poland and Frederick E. Boothby, of
Portland. Mr.. Haines is for re-
Mr.. Fernald is opposed,
and Mr. Boothby says that the Legis-
lature makes and unmakes laws, with
the Governor as the executive. If he |
should be elected he would execute
all the laws to the best OF his ability. |
Therefore, reformers should expend
their strength upon the Legislature. |
The convention will be held June 30 |
The Democrats will nominate Obadiah |
Gardner. of Rockland, who was for
10 years Mast of the State Grange. |
He is a Temperance man by principle |
and habit but he believes the people |
should have an opportunity to vote
again upon the Prohibition Amend |
ment. |
