SENATOR DOLLlVER.
Iowa Senator Will be an Attraction II
Augusta Entertainment Course.

Senator Dolliver, who appears here
next month as one of the three great
attractions OF the Augusta Entertain
ment Course, will deliver his most Gel
etratcd lecture, "A Poor Mans Gov
eminent and Poor Boys Country"
While especially eloquent in this lee
| ture, he has the unusual faculty of
stirring hiss hearers to the highest
pitch Of enthusiasm when speaking on
any subject.
An example of his great versatility
and wonderful sway over audiences
was shown when in May he was en-
gagged to speak before the Southern
Methodist General Conference. The
Epworth Era reports his speech as
follows:
1.-THE Hon. Mr.. Delivers speech was
an oratorical Iowa cyclone. It is i'm
possible to give any idea of this unique
and thrilling address. His subject was
"Organic Union" Before him sat the
stalwarts of Southern Methodism, to
whom the idea of organic union is the
bOgie of the age-stern, unyielding, &C.
clesiastical bourbons. And yet, so ex-
cellent was the orators spirit, so ad-
roit his presentation of his theme, so
fearless the swing of his speech, that
the General Conference gave him and
his message such an enthusiastic re-
ceptCn as it has seldom given to any
man. Like Dewey, he went right ahead,
| laundering to right and left. regardless
of the hidden mines of prejudice and,
| like Dewey. he won famous victory.
Think of Dr. Barbec cheering aNs1nan
who was pleading with impassfoned
eloquence for the reuEion of CHURCHES.
| The world does move. A great speech"

An important conference was held
Tuesday afternoon at the office OF
Mayor Treby johnson at the Granite
National Bank between officials of the

HILL representing the city of Augusta.
Thomas j. Lynch and r. w. Pope of
the Swift co. were present as property
owners affected by the proposed
changes.
The matter of automatic signals at
the Bridge street crossing for the pre-
lection of the fire department and the
general travelling public was discussed
at some length and an assurance was
received from the railroad that Al
would give all the necessary safe
guards of the crossing by arranging A.
have Bridge street tagged day aWl
night for the entire "a hours. The
proposition of the removal of the
freight station from it's present loca-
ton to a point below Rines Hill cross
ing was also discussed but no definite
conclusion reached in regard to it.
1t is not thought that active work
will be commenced this season upon
the removal of the Rines Hill crossing
as the plans will not be approved by
the railroad commissioners before Nov.
II, which will hardly leave sufficient
time for getting the work under way
before the heavy frosts come.

The season of 1909 on the Kennebec
division of the Eastern Steamship Co.
will close next Saturday, Nov. 6. when
the steamer City of Rockland will
make her last trip to Boston from Car
diner and the other kennebec river
ports. Announcement had been made
that the season would close Saturday,
Nov. 13, but last week notices of the
earlier closing were sent out to the
agents along the river. The transfer
steamer City of Augusta, which runs
between this city and Gardiner, will
haul up at Southport this year instead
of Bath as heretofore, on account of
the bother and delay which attends the
launching of the steamer in the spring
after passing the winter on the marine
railway at Bath.
