Chicago, April 9.-Evidence against
dishonest doctors and lawyers whom
City Attorney Caverly charges with
conspiracy to defraud the city of Chi
cago out of heavy damages in alleged
personal injury suits, was laid before
the grand jury. Sufficient evidence to
indict a West side physician was sub

damage cases for lawyers-and it is
expected indictments also will be re-
turned against both. -.

=. Selects .Waterville.

The welcome news that the Maine
State Grange would hold it's next ses-
sion in. this city was received by the
people here yesterday. State Master
Stetson was in the city yesterday and
was in conference with many of the
officials in regard to the arrangements
for the coming convention which will
be held Dec H., Is, Is, and II.
Mr. Stetson stated that the faculty
of the Colby College had generously
granted the committee of arrangements
the use of the Foss hall and the other
dormitories for those days and would
shorten the length of the fall term by
one week so that it will be vacation
for the students when the Changers
convene. The winter term of studies
would be heightened by one week. Mr..
Stetson also stated that Mayor l.. G..
Bunker had made arrangements for
the use of the City hall and Armory
on those dates.
The Grange meeting always means
something to the merchants AID citi-
zens of this city. Coming as it does
near the Christmas holidays the trade
will no doubt be much increased. The
committees from the Board of Trade
will continue in their strenuous work
of preparing to accommodate the vast
number that will attend, although
dates are far off.
