ChaS. IL. Sm1tn WeIu 10 huRusbd
this morning to place in the hands OF
representative Thompson numer-
ously signed petition against the
holding of horse races and similar
sports on Memorial day.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. w. Maxield, who
are passing the winter at Madison,
were in town Saturday. Mr.. Max
field is the proprietor Of the Rowe Pd
Camps and will open that resort, for
the tenth season under his manage
ment, on May LIST. He and Mrs. Max
field are in Portland this week, going
there to see Mrs. Lydia Creation, Mr..
Maxfield's mother, who has been i'll for
two or three weeks past. Mrs. Grea-
ton makes her home in Skowhegan,
with Mr.. and Mrs. G. ". Nash but has
been visiting in Portland since last
fail with Henry Pearson and family.
As affording the best means Of Civ
ing the alarm promptly in case Of fire
the experimenting school committee
have purchased four large gongs, Il
and II inches in diameter, and these
are to be placed in the Garfield, Lin
coin, Park and High School buildings.
They will be so located that teacher
in any department of the buildings
mentioned may sound them by step
ping to the door of her room and
pulling cord. The children will be
made familiar with their use by hav-
ing an occasional alarm sounded and
by being taught to form in line and
march out rapidly and in order.
The principal article in the Febru-
airy edition of the Industrial Journal
of Bangor, is devoted to very
complimentary account Of our citi-
zens and our industries, under the
title of "Enterprising Skowhegan, y"
The article is illustrated with cuts OF
the new municipal building, the An
derson and the Marston Mills, tho
Hackett & Witham machine shop, the
shoe factory, Hotel Coburn and the
Skowhegan House. There are also
likenesses of Lewis Anderson, the
first president, and s. w. Gould, the
present presiding officer of the Show
hogan Board of Trade. The pictures
OF these two gentlemen come out
very nicely on the firm super calen-
dered paper, upon which the Journal
is printed, and the fact that the
Skowhegan Board Of Trade exists
only as a name is doubtless no more
chargeable to them than to other citi
zens. The mention of this organiza-
ton in the Industrial Journal, with
other matters pertaining to the pro-
gress Skowhegan has made and is
making, serves to bring to mind the
fact that the Board of Trade was very
useful for many years and that its
work is sadly needed at the present
time. II brother Banding, editor OF
the Industrial Journal, could tell us
how to get this organization into the
harness once more, he would incur
the gratitude of all residents Of Som
erset's metropolis.

Convictions Will Stand.

A rescript has been made public
during the past week, in the case OF
State OF Maine VS. Nelson w. BARLEY,
which sustains the convictions In q
certain series of cases, about six in
number, where the prosecutions were
conducted by Amos 4. Butler, then
acting as special prosecuting officer
under the Sturgis act. A rescript
handed down about the FIRST of the
present year declared that Mr. Buffers
appointment was not constitutionally
made and that he could not, therefore
continue to act. While this debarred
him from conducting further prosecu-
tions it did not determine whether
such convictions as he had already
obtained were legal or not, and the
decision just rendered covers that
point. The following is the text Of
the rescript:
State VS. Nelson W. BARLEY. Res
cript by Emery, G. j.
A defendant in criminal case has
no legal right to have the prosecution
conducted by the official prosecutor.
AS to the defendant this Court may
recognize any unofficial member Of
the bar to conduct the prosecution
and conviction is not there by rend-
cred invalid. Exceptions overruled.
Further developments, bearing on
the validity of other convictions Sc
cured by Mr.. Butler while acting as
special attorney, followed very close
ly after the issuance of the above re-
script, the decision in second series
of cases, being received by William
T. Seekins, clerk of Courts for this
county, Tuesday evening. 10 expla-
nation it should be said that all the
cases were for violations OF the liquor
law and that the test cases for the en-
tire lot were appealed from the Som
erset ). j. Court to tue Law Court at
the same time. The separate Court
Decisions were necessirated from
some slight variation in the evidence
or the manner of securing the con-
victions. In effect, these two rulings
of the Supreme Court make valid all
the convictions secured by Mr.. Butler
which were appealed on constitution
al grounds.
The rescripts above referred to per
mitted capiases to BIZ issued for the
arrest of the respondents in the three
test cases, Nelson w. BARLEY and
Omar Poulin OF Jackman and George
Washburn of Madison. These par
ties were very promptly apprehended
by Sheriff Mooers and his deputies
and are now lodged in Somerset Jail.
The papers on which the arrests were
made call for imprisonment of 80
days and fines of 800 and costs in
each instance, sentences imposed at
the time the cases were appealed.

Efforts of Socialists Local to
Put City Ticket in the
Field Blocked
UNION MEN FOIL THE ATTEMPT
Socialists Seek to Draw Unions into
Their City Campaign by Securing
Nomination and Endorsement of
Candidates Thru the Unions Rep
resentatives = Union Men Endorse
Mayor lnsIedue.

An attempt. made by the socialists
local to put ticket representing their
party into the city campaign, failed
at Il meeting held at the trades and
noon. The chief reason that the effort
ito get socialist candidates into the
field was because the labor unions,
which were represented at the meeting,
refused to become a party to the Sc
lectlng of any slate which would be
representative Of the socialists.
Instead Of joining with the social
lists In naming q ticket the union men
endorsed the candidates of certain in
dependent candidates who are already
in the field.
Socialists Want a Mayor.
the head of each of the unions belong
ing to the trades and labor assembly
to send representative to the meet
ing, which was called for 2:30 O'clock.
A large majority Of the unions which
are affiliated with the local central
body were represented when the meet
ing was called to order
The chairman stated the purpose of
the meeting, by saying that it was the
intention to put city socialist
ticket in the field. He asked for sug-
gestions for a candidate for mayor.
also an expression of opinion from the
Ia hor ,,pfop Tanracantat
Delegates Endorse ingledue.
While these representatives had no
prospective candidate to suggest. who
might be willing to make the run UNI
der the socialist banner. they were
positive and emphatic in their endorse
ment of the candidacy Of Mayor o. L..
Ingledue. Representatives of the or
ganized locomotive engineers, locomo-
tive firemen, boilermakers, machinists,
carpenters, and paper hangers and
painters and others all Endorsed him.
1t became evident that with the SEN
timent tending all in one direction the
nomination of candidate for mayor was
impracticable and impossible. and it
was suggested that the party should at
least be represented by a ticket of
councilmen.
The labor union representatives did
not, however, take to this suggestion
any more readily than the other. No.
candidates were announced but the
candidates. of McCarten and Herman
were endorsed. Then some one moved
to adjourn, and the meeting did so,
without so much as one name being
suggested for office.

Outstanding. Miss Bengston was down
on the program as No. !, and Mr.. Cir
ton as No 3. Mr.. Girton's name was
read first, Miss Wensel's second, and
Miss Bengston's third When Girton's
name was read first the State Center
contingent went wild, giving the school
yells. thinking that their champion had
won first place. Even Miss BenEston
herself supposed she had got third
place until she was handed the prize
money, which was SIS and not 81, as
she had expected. Only the few who
had seen the markings, and We're aware
that President Seerley. of the state nor

announcing the winner last, knew that
Miss Bengston was the winner, and not

Because of the position in which the
Winners of the graded schools declam-

beginning with third place and then
reading second and first, the general
impression was gained turnout the aud

This was also the understanding the
Times Republican had, and so printed
the winners. The numbers of the con-

Twelve hundred nineteen ears OF
corn. which won first second and third
places in the recent corn show of the
short course, were sold at public auc-
ton Saturday afternoon for $4,000.
Nine dollars was the highest price paid
for a single ear. 1T was entered by Fred
McCullock, of Hartwick, and won first
prize for the best ear grown outside CT
Marshall county. 1t was bought by F..
S. Grouse, of Iiscomb. The second
highest price paid for single ear was
Sc. Mr.. Grouse paid that sum to re-
tain possession of his ear which won
the sweepstakes for single ears.
The prices all thru the sale were not
so good as last year. The total was
only little more than half of what
the corn of the previous course
brought. This falling off in the corn
sales, the instructors of Iowa State
College say, has been general turnout
