Almost everybody celebrated the
Fourth, very few remaining home,
Matt Dewitt visited with his daugh-
ter. Martha Cooper at Dempster. Mon

1t would be much easier to name
the ones that did not go to Watertown
Tuesday.
Mrs. Bruce Faders' brother and wife
OF Illinois, are visiting relatives and
friends in Preston.
Miss Mamie and Alta Lee returned
home from Minnesota where they have
been visiting this summer.
Ed Hopkins has loaded his car with
the intention of going back to his
claim and proving up. His wife will
go in a few weeks.
Professor Cyril Hopkins OF the Uni
versity of Illinois and Hollis Hopkins
of WATERFOWL, visited with their niece,
Mrs. Elmwood Plumb, last Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hopkins OF Estel-
line, celebrated their golden anniver-
sary last week. The anniversary came
in January. but they could not get all
of the children home at that time. Their
sons, Cyril and Winnie arrived Sat-
urday and Mrs. Hattie Long and Mrs.
Wheelock a few days ago. They
are the only children which live out
of the state. Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins
have nine children and they were all
able to attend. They presented their
parents with many beautiful presents
and gold dishes. The boys were boys
again and the girls were young again.
There were forty-two children, grand
children and great grand children pre-
sent. Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins cordially
them all to attend their dia-
mond wedding, which we hope these
good people may be able to celebrate.
The hotel was rented for the wedding
supper and 1t was most lavishly de-
corated. and to say that they were
most beautifully arranged cannot half
express the beauty of 1t all.

OPENING OF CONGRESS.

Washington, Dec. S.-The business
of both houses Of Congress was con-
fined today largely to listening to the
reading of the Presidents annual mes
sage, but in addition a few bills were
introduced both in the Senate and the
House and in the House a number Of
bills were sent to conference, among
them being one providing for a new
immigration station in Boston. In ad-
dition the Speaker announced the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Higgins of Connecti-
cut to a place on the Judiciary in place
of Mr. Littlefeld and Mr. Martin to a
place on the committee on Indian at
fairs, in place Of Mr.. Parker, deceased.
For the first time during the present
Congress there was a call Of the com
mittees of the House, but no measure
was reported by any Of them. The
miscellaneous work of the Senate con-
sisted in the main Of the reference in
executive session Of about 1900 recess
nominations which were today sent to
the Senate by the President and the
adoption of resolutions of regret on ac-
count of the death Of members Of the
House who have passed away since
the adjournment last May. The Sen
ate adjourned for the day at o'clock
and the House at 2.35.

fence at the Hearing.

Belfast, Me. Dec S.-(SpeciaD.-
tor a hearing before Judge Rogers of
the Belfast municipal court this after
noon. George Benson was held for the
January term of court on the charge
of shooting his sweetheart, Miss Stella
More, Monday afternoon, with intent
to kill.
The court room was packed to suf-
location at 2.3O P. NJ. and there was in
tense interest in the proceedings H. C.
Ruzzell, the county attorney-elect, ap-
reared for the State and F. NJ Brown
for the respondent.
The states witnesses We're James
Kelley the cripple, who wounded Ben
son after the latter had put two bull
lets into Miss Moore; Cora Johnson,
who has rooms near those of Miss
Moore: George Patterson. son of the
keeper of the restaurant over which
Miss Moore rooms; DR.. Elmer Small
and DR.. S. w. Johnson.
The story of the shooting was told
substantially as it appeared in Tues
days Journal. Kelley and Miss John
son testified that Miss Moore had long
been in fear OF Benson and had asked
protection against him. Drs. Small and
Johnson told of the nature of the
wounds.
Miss Moore is resting comfortably at
her room and unless blood poisoning
sets in seems certain to recover The
second bullet, which passed through
her back into her lung, has not been
located and Will not be removed.
Berson made no defence and after
the States witnesses We're heard Judge
Rogers ordered him held in $4,000 bonds
for the January term of court. In de-
fault of bonds he was at once commit
ted to Jail.
Benson told the representative Of the
Journal that he acted in self N-defence,
as Miss Moore had a revolver and was
about to shoot him when he fired at
her. He does not claim. that she had
promised to marry him, but they had
been keeping company and he was Jeai-
GUS Of other men. The officers say that
there were no evidences that he had
been drinking heavily when he gave
himself up soon after the shooting
