ASK FOR new TRIAL.
Lively Argument in the Cash Curtis
Case.

A hot argument in favor of new trial
was furnished in district court today
by o. E. Hungate and Judge z. T. Ha
zen, attorneys for Cash" Curtis, al
legged wholesale liquor dealer.
Cash Curtis was one of the first
wholesalers arrested under the new
regime, and the officials decided to
make horrible exai.-ple of him. He
was out on $500 bond, and had gone to
Hot Springs, Ark. for treatment for
rheumatism. He was not present when
his case was called, the first on the
September, 1907, docket, but sent his
regrets in the shape of a sworn state
ment from his physician to the effect
that he was too i'll to attend. The
court let the case go to trial, and as a
result, Curtis was convicted on 40
counts. The prosecution only asked for
50 counts, and the jury might have
given convictions on every count, had
the court not instructed 1t to drop the
fiftieth count, which was the nuisance
count. After this string of convictions.
which called for fine OF $4,000 and
four years and one month In Jail, 1t is
no wonder that Mr.. Curtis, whose bond
was only $500, remained in bad health,
and did not come back within the jur-
isdiction of the Shawnee county court.
His attorneys now demand new trial
on the strength of several alleged err
rors on the part of the court, namely.
irving the defendant when he was not
present, and accepting the endorsement
of checks and number In the teie-
phone directory, as evidence in the
case.
The two attorneys made the welkin
ring for three hours. and the court
took their proposition under consider

PRICES FOR CABBAGE ARE SOAR
ING HIGH

Speaking of the cabbage prospects
the New York Packer says: "The
cabbage market is on a boom and has
considerably since last
week, and at all the marketing sta
tions in New York is showing an up
ward tendency.
This week the top price was SIS
for cabbage out of the cars and ship
pers were quoting $23 to $25 a ton
for the stock delivered in New York.
Offerings are light at this moment.
The shipping of domestic is about
over and Danish has not yet fairly
begun.
The trade generally looks for high
priced cabbage on account of the
shortage of the crop"
The Packer adds. editorially, that
southern growers will have the op-
portunity of getting into the market
when prices will be most favorable.

PRESENTATIONS UsURPATIoN

When Mr.. Nathan Straus says Mr..
George R. Sheldon lies" he usurps
one of the functions of the president
of the United States. When Mr..
Sheldon denounces Mr.. Strauss state
ment as absolutely false" he, too, is
taking liberties with the presidential
vocabulary. 1t is not seemly that
private citizens should thus aspire to
the epithets of the Grand Panjan-
drum.
The fault is the more fragrant be-
cause Mr.. Strauss brother is a mem
Der of the cabinet and Mr.. Sheldon
has been publicly endorsed as a Man
of My Type. Such men should set an
example to the irresponsible. They
have no moral right to NEEDLE with
things that belong to the higher
sphere of craftsmanship. Who arc
Nathan Straus and George R. Sheldon
that they should presume to handy
the shorter and uglier word?
If it be necessary to call anybody
a liar Mr.. Roosevelt will attend to
that. For ourselves We shall recog-
nize no man as a liar or an undesira-
bic citizen unless he has been COM
missioned by the president of the
United States.-WOrld.

Legislative Action

Another way in which the union
hopes to benefit the farmers is by get
ting justice for them from the gov
eminent. 1t is to have legislation
passed that will be to the interest of
the farmer and oppose that which will
be harmful BY this method it looks
out for the interest of the farmer the
same as other callings look out for
their interests.
The union is also endeavoring to
educate its membership into employ
ing a more systematic and judicious
method of tilling the soil and conduct
ing their business. This is done
through the press and through the
medium of the locals where the mem
bers engage in discussions on prac-
teal methods and compare expert
enCes.
The union is also impressing on
the membership the Importance of ed
ucating their children, and is urging
them to do so. If the children of the
present age can be properly educated
the next generation Of farmers. will
certainly be in a more prosperous
condition than the present genera
ton.

THE REMEDY FOR THE FARMERS

The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America comes to
the farmer with remedy for his pres
ent condition. The remedy that it
proposes is both logical and reasona-
bic.
The first great work that it is en-
deavoring TO accomplish is to free the
bondage of mortgage and credit sys-
TENS.
Through the medium of the press
of union literature, and of speakers
and lecturers, this subject is constant
l. being brought before the member
ship. The farmers are urged to econ
omize more than ever 10 do without
things that they really need. and to
do everything in their power to get
clear Of debt. It is encouraging tie
farmers to steer clear of the credit
system, by buying supplies through
the buying agency Of the union. The
supplies that are bought in this way
are bought for cash. and these furnish
an object lesson by showing how
much cheaper these supplies can be
bought for cash.
Union Selling Agencies
The union is also establishing sell
Ing agencies in order that its mem
bers may obtain the best prices posi-
bic for their products
The union is endeayoring to get
price for the great staple Of the south
that will give to the producer a profit
above the cost of production. One of
the methods by which it is trying to
accomplish this is TO stop putting the
entire crop on the market in the
space Of four months, but instead to
market gradually as the condition of
the trade demands. Then, when cot
ton is to be sold. sell through the
agencies of the Union, which sells Iii
rect to the manufacturer. Through
this plan the power Of the Spectator
would be disrupted and the law of
supply and demand would govern the
market.

Limestone was sentenced to seven years
in state prison, for the killing of Stephen
and Oscar Downey at Limestone OF Sept.
II, 1907, by Judge Cornish in the supreme
court this afternoon Tardis is II years
old, while the Downey boys were II and

the charge of manslaughter and when
arraigned this afternoon pleaded guilty
on the advice of his counsel.
DR.. Harvey w. Mitchell, superintendent
of the Bangor Insane asylum, where Tar
dis has been under observation since Sep

it as his opinion that at the time Of the
shooting Tardis was legally sane, but that
he was mentally weak; that he was-be-
low the normal boy, and that in his opin-
ion the crime he had committed could not
be considered the same as though he had
been we'll developed boy.
The county attorney asked the court
for permission to file one of the two in
dictments and that a short sentence be
imposed on the other, which was done.
The shooting took place in the after

Gives Interesting Address.

AT the Chapel services Wednesday
President-e!sct Roberts Of Colby was
the speaker. He gave valuable adj
dress. taking 1.-THE Bible" as his theme.
Prof. Roberts said in part: The young
man or woman OF today knows Tar
less Of the Bible than did the young
people Of fifty years ago. One reason
Is because the Bible suffers from COM
petition with the deluge Of modern
day books, magazines and papers. Half
q century ago the child became early
acquainted with the simple Bible sto-
ries told him by his mother. Today
fairy tales and other stories are sub
stitutedL In early Sunday school study
the Bible was the only, textbook, and
most of the work consisted in commit
ting verses to memory. Unfortunately.
too. the practice Of Bible reading in
the homes is rapidly disappearing.
The student can not overestilnate the
value Of the Bible. Aside from its
spiritual teachings. purely as liter
airy production and as q means Of in
tellectual development, it is force
whose power all great men have rec
ognized. The frequent reading and
study Of the Bible has an actual prac-
tical value. in preserving us from an
appetite for devouring the ephemeral,
trashy, harmful writings of the day.
A very enjoyable social was held Fri
day evening in Philomathean hall, un-
der the auspices Of the Y. w. c. A. A.

WHOLESALE THlEvlNG
Has Been Going ON Among Cottages
on Penobscot Bay.

Ellsworth, Me-, April 16.-Property
amounting in value to more than $1,000
has been stolen from summer camps
and cottages in the vicinity of this
city. The. breaks We're lin, different
summer settlements on Penobscot bay
and probably some of them were COM
lnitted a week ago, but owing to the
isolated locality of the camps the news
did not reach here until today.
At Green lake seven summer cot
tages owned by Bangor men were
broken into and on lower lake five
camps were entered. At Shady Nook,
a summer resort on the bay below Els
worth, all but one of the II or more
cottages were entered. Some of the
cottages on Green lake were stripped
of everything movable and what was
not carried away was destroyed.
It is suspected that the thieves were
members of gang which stole a small
sloop on Mount Desert island and
started on a piratical cruise down the
coast. The boat was sold here day
or two ago.
Ellsworth officers today seized a
small quantity Of goods which had
been left at an express Office for ship
ment to Worcester, Mass. 1t is sup
posed that this is a part of the stolen
property.
