The Democratic National convention
met in Denver Tuesday and after some
preliminary business adjourned out OF
respect to Cleveland's memory. Yes
terday it was expected to complete the
organization, etc., and today the nomi-
nation of a presidential candidate will
be in order. Those opposed to Bryan
will. it is said continue their fight to
the end, but Bryan is apparently in full
control of the convention and his nomi-
tion on the first ballot seems assured.

'There is no prohibition wave in the
South"said William Willard Howard of
New York to World reporter: 'The
prohibition movement in the Southern
States is the most cold-b looded, matter
of-fact, business like, ethical reform
that history can show. The Southern
people take prohibition as settled fact,
a matter of course. There is no more
emotion about it than there is over the
price of cotton. Prohibition in the
South did not come as wave Itgrew.

At the meeting of the State Pomo-
logical Society in Auburn last week
Prof. H. Beckenstrater, professor of
horticulture at the Maine Experiment
station, gave an interesting and practl-
cal address on rundown orchards.
Here is an instructive paragraph:
Many orchards here in Maine are
oyercrowded. Worn out orchards have
not been properly pruned: Heavy
pruning of the tops will invigorate the
tree. A light annual pruning is neces-
sary. Heavy pruning in this climate
should be done in late fall or early
spring. Prof Beckenstrater told how
this pruning should be done. He ad-
vocated orchard tillage. Plough each
spring and as often as necessary to
keep the soil loose. Sometimes trees
are winter killed. Enrich the soil.
The time when orchards may be left to
shift for themselves is past, and if good
results are to be obtained, good care
must be given the trees.

Denver was anxiously awaiting last
week the arrival of the Tammany
crowd. having been advised that they
were coming west in five special trains,
bearing an aggregate bankroll OF $780,
900, and bringing besides $500 pints OF
champagne, 10000 bottles of beer, 1850
quarts of whiskey, IT'S, 900 cigars and 80
tons of ice. Saloon keepers in Denver
of a statistical turn had figured out
that these supplies would be exhausted
during the fifty hours the Tammany
trains would be en- route, and had &C
cordingly increased their facilities in
the expectation of unprecedented de-
mands. But aside from the pecunlarlly
interested saloon keepers, Denver was
eager to see the braves, whom 1t re-
CARDS as the dad men, of the east. 1t
knows Murphy's followers only as they
have been depicted in cartoons, and
was expecting red-faced, heavily JoWled,
hashily dressed men, with dyed NOUS
taches and rolls of yellow backed bills.
The convention held at the court
house last Tuesday brought out in
force the tried and true Republicans OF
Waldo county. 1t was a happy and
harmonious gathering-happy with the
full assurance of a coming victory for
Republican principles and policy III
State and Nation, and harmonious IN
the determination to march with closed
ranks upon the enemy; not alone the
old foe, the Democratic party, but in
this State and county the rum power, a
menace to good citizenship and to law
and order. Upon Sheriff Carleton was
worthily bestowed the honor OF re-
nomination by reclamation: and like
endorsement was given to our efficient
Judge of Probate and Register of Pro-
hate offices which call for qualifications
possessed in full measure by the present
incumbents. H. C. Buzzell, Esq, nomi-
mated by reclamation for county attor-
new. has had the experience necessary
to fit him for this important position
and has the energy and courage to per-
form it's duties as they should be per-
formed. The contests for Senator, for
county treasurer and for county COM
missioner were conducted in fair and
manly way, and the defeated candidates
accepted their defeat gracefully and
will work with accustomed zeal 1or the
success of the ticket.

LIGHTNING HURLED A
BRICK THROUGH AIR

The electrical storm on Saturday after
noon performed any number Of freakish
capers, but one Of the more noticeable
among them all. was the hurting Of a
brick from the chimney Of a building on
Shipley street between Ninth and Tenth
streets. toward a large plate glass win
dow of the shipley street end Of the Ford
Building.
The lightning just glazed the edge OF
the chimney. and carried the solitary mis-
sile with considerable force through the
air toward the plate glass. Several per-
sons were looking from the window. and
seeing the brick coming toward them,
lodged in a hurry. The force behind the
brick had not been sufficient to send it as
far as the window however. and it fell
into the street just a few feet short of
the glass. The removal of the brick was
the only damage done to the chimney.
