The Auburn police are somewhat
puzzled by the find made by an Auburn
Heights woman, who was out with her
dog the other day on the so-called
Franklin Company tract. The dog
nosed over the bank beside one of the
roads near South Colt street and I'M
earthcd some fifteen pounds of nice
fresh, clean and healthy looking chick
en- meat, all ready to put i'll the kettle.
An examination showed wheel marks
in the road, which at the point where
the meat was found approached the
edge of the bank, but that is the only
elew and the mystery remains deep and
awe inspiring. None of the local gro
Gerry stores knew of anything to throw
light on the case-in fact hadn't made
any sales of fifteen pounds of chicken.

AT a meeting of the Civic CLUB of
Portland, Wednesday evening, District
Attorney Robert T. Whitehouse, who
was one of the chief speakers, stated
that a committee composed OF repre-
SentativeS of the Civic Club, Economic
Club and the Board of Trade, had pre-
pared the draft of a charter for the
government of Portland by commits
sion on the Des Moines plan and he in
timated that this will be presented at
the next Maine Legislature. In case it
was, he commended it to support of the
members of the club. In his opinion,
Portland's present form of city govern
ment was obsolete. inappropriate and
insufficient, and it should be abolished.
He believed that this in combination
with the wards was not conducive to
the best interests of the city and he
said that under such a system Boston
had acquired its great debt and San
Francisco was robbed What have we
t. offer in its stead? He also referred to
the tenement houses of Portland and
said that persons coming to Portland

FOR BACHELOR
Promises to Select From
List of Writers.

EDWARDSVILLE,I ILL, March s.
(SpeciaD bona fide proposals of
marriage from as many society girls
of this city have been made to G.
w Terry, president of the State
and Trust Bank
Mr.. Terry, well-to-do and good
looking, has always been considered a
staid "old bachelor"
When the proposals in writing
were made to him, he was perturbed.
The proposals are the result of a
discussion at whist club meeting
of the backwardness of eligible men.
Mrs. w. E. Wheeler, one of the
young matrons of the organization,
suggested the concerted attack upon
one of the recreantS.
The letters were signed in cipher,
which the president of the organiza-
ton promised to interpret when Mr..
Terry would decide which of the
writer's he would select. His answer
was as follows:
And / think / can say,
That two weeks from today,
I'll try to make happy one lass;
I'll announce my selection,

Hon. Shiller B. Herman, distin-
guished statesman and legislator of
Portland, Oregon, who was recently
on an eastern trip, is among those
strongly in favor of L. T. Cooper, in
the discussion over Cooper and his
medicines, which has ragged for the
past year in cities visited by the
young man on his educative cam
paigns, as he calls them.
Cooper was explaining his new the
cries and medicines to Boston people
during the Oregonian's visit to that
city, and in q recent interview Mr.
Herman said: My trip east accom-
plished more for me than / ever be-
lieved possible It has actually been
the means of restoring my health.
While in Boston I heard great deal
about his man Cooper and his medi-
cines, and one morning | talked with
a Boston banker who told me that he
had been relieved by Cooper's medi-
cines after ten years chronic dyspep-
STA. For the past twenty years have
been fearful sufferer with nervous
dyspepsia. 1t has been so bad that 1t

Had Two Wives.

His wife, Mrs. Margaret Allen
Livingston, living yet in Freeport,
was one of the sweetest women
ever knew, I did not know until
years afterward that he had two
wives, one the mother of John d.
Rockefeller. She lived in Cleveland,
Ohio.
Or. Livingston and l travelled ov-
err all the West. 1t is not true that he
sold medicines in the street. He
would have a string of eight or ten
towns at once He would drive into
town, scatter handbills in which the
great DR.. Livingston asserted that he
could cure all diseases and we would
have a suite of rooms at the best ho-
tel and to the doctor there would
come the sick and the halt and the
lame In all cases of common all
ments he could detect the cause al
most at a glance.
He made a great deal of money. He
often took in 5000 in a day and if he
days business. I was with him al
most all the time from 1874 to 1886.
Il first learned positively that DR..
Livingston was DR.. Rockefeller when
he was injured on the ranch in North
Dakota, and thought he was going to
die. This was in 1881. He was an old
man at that time. l asked him
if l should send for his wife, Mrs
Livingston, if he should die, and he
said: No you notify John d. Rookie
Teller, but be very careful and let no
one else know it.

CANNON TRAPPED
ON PROHIBITION
Must Choose Between
WhiSkey and Ants.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 5.
-(SpeciaD Trapped by a pretty
trick, Speaker Cannon finds himself
in the position of having either to
cater to the liquor interests and
defy the Prohibitionists, Or bow to the
temperance element and throw the
whiskey men overheard
The Speaker does not believe in
prohibition, and when the storm of
bills poured in at the beginning of
the session to prohibit the shipment
of liquor into dry" States, he quiet
the Committee on Judiciary, where
he knew they would sleep quietly.
After the storm was over the
Speaker relaxed his vigilance Rep
resentative Joseph T. Johnson Of
South Carolina put in a prohibition
measure, suggesting it be referred to
the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, and it got there
Trouble started at once Repre-
sentative Hepburn of Iowa is Chair
man of the committee. He halls from
a Prohibition State, and his prospects
for coming back are not nearly so
bright as they might me.
With this in mind, Representative
Gregg of Texas went before the COM
mittee today and moved that the
Johnson bill be reported out favor
ably. Mr.. Gregg came away with the
promise that his motion would have
fair and probably favorable consider
alton. His visit has had the result
of bringing together all the adyoca-
ties of prohibition in the House, ir-
rnSDactiVp of marty and the commit
tee is in for an interesting time if
it balks.
AS for Speaker Cannon, he is the
centre of absorbed interest. I'm
willing to bow to the House, he yet
is afraid to stir up trouble and adj
verse criticism by refusing to let the
Johnson bill go to vote when re-
ported.
He remembers the baneful effect of
cocktails on the Fairbanks boom.

Admitted Identity.

when he got well I told him knew
he was John D. Rockefeller's father
At first he denied it. He told me that
the reason he kept it secret that he
found it necessary in his younger
days to assume a name because as
he was practicing medicine without
license, he might be arrested any
time, and he did not wish to disgrace
the name of Rockefeller because of
his children. | asked him why he
wished John D. and his wife notified
of his death. He said: Il don't want
the Aliens to get any more of my
money than I can help.
His wife was an Allen. He often
told me that the Aliens should not
have his money"
