Beavers are very Industrious up in
Aroostook county and the people of
Blaine and Ludlow are having trouble
with them. The busy little fellows
build dams under the small bridges and

build Immediately. At Ludlow, several
dams have been broken up and sent
down stream or burned, but still the
ppatient beavers build on.

received from John r. Graham of Ban

II. w. Rich, a photographer of Rum

three inches long that was evidently
a spear point. 1t was found on the
farm Of his grandfather Judge Rich,
in the town of Madison, VT. 1t has
been in the family for many years.
There is no stone of this character in
that section of the state, and the fact
seems to be that it was brought there
by a travelling hunter in the days when
modern implements were unknown. 1t

"It is not generally known that there
was quite extensive loss of life in con-
nection with the recent freshet," says
the Old Town correspondent of the Com
mercial but latest advices show that
there was and that an entire colony on
an island in the river was swept away,
the drivers being able to rescue only one
or two, while the rest were swept down
river and, it is presumed, dashed to pieces
as they swept over the dams and onto
the rocks in the bed of the Penobscot
river. 1t was the colony of porkers be-
ing fattened on the waste from the cook
house at the boom. Located on an island
and unable to escape, the sudden rise of
water took them off and they were thrust
into the boiling, swirling current of the
river before the men could leave the en-
dangered booms to attempt a rescue.
One or two of the hogs were rescued in
boats but most of them gave up the
struggle amid the whirling logs and rush-
ing waters and sank. Some IA or Is of
fine swine were thus lost, to add to the
general lumber loss sustained by Old
Town men, The hogs were in fine condi-
ton and at value of IL cents a pound,
live weight, figured quite loss.'

w. d. Howells said of an unsuccessful
playwright on the President Grant:
perhaps it is because he can't write
plays himself that he condemns the mod

grapes with him, just as it was with
Jobson.
"Jobson proposed to an elderly heiress
But even in the course of his proposal the
man could see he stood no chance. He
ended rather abruptly, and the heiress
said in n cold voice:

The Johanns had been married nine
years the 9th of last month, when their
son was born. The stork arrived at 800
o'clock in the morning. Therefore the
child was born at the ninth hour OF the

Wilbur Wright may be able to fly
around the statue Of Liberty and all that,
but he never could hold down job under
a tight-fsted contractor and he surely
would make a sorry collector of rents in
a tenement district"
This was the comment made by sig
nal corps orncer today, when the ques-
ton of the governments payment Of
$4,000 to the Wright brothers for their
aeropane was brought. 1t appears that
every thing in connection with aeroplanes
and aeropane contracts excepting the
money part of it.
Under the contract the money is to be
paid when the instruction to army Off
GERS in managing the aeroplane has been
completed. but. knowing the ways Of
contractors, it was expected that the
Wright brothers would have brought up
the question of payment or have asked
for Il part payment after delivering the
machine. which the government would
willingly have made.-New York Herald.

MUSIC FESTIVAL

In previous issue we ventured
some comments upon the feasibility
of an annual Musical Festival in
Columbia. "A music lover being
so much struck with the error oi
our reasoning took occasion to call
our attention to it in private note.
He does not believe that any other
city in fhc south could succeed in
the Musical Festival business like
Spartanburg land cites many fail
ureS that have already taken place.
We did not mean any reflection up-
on the Spartanburg Festival but we
! still do not see why Columbia could
not produce an entertainment equal
with if not better than Spartanburg.
There is but one thing that we as
sumo in making this statement, that
there are enough sensible people in
Columbia to see the great advantage
such an entertainment will be to the
city and state and will therefore give
it their enthusiastic support.

JUSTICE.

The Supreme Court of the u. S.
has decided that when the people
of State have been robbed by
grafters from within and accompli-
ces from without that she has
the right to settle with the ac-
completes upon such terms as will
be for the best interest of the peo-
pie and the worst interest of the
grafters.
Would it not have been tray
esty upon justice for the highest
Tribunal of our land to have thrown
cloak of protection around a gang
of thieves?

SOMETHING DOING.

1t looks as though the crop OF
fur" which has been allowed to
grow out again on the dispensary
grafterS is in imminent danger of
being torn out again. The Supreme
Court has reversed the decision of
Judge Pritchard and the disposition
of the whole matter comes back
into the hands of the state. So if
we are to judge the future by the
past there will be something doing
real soon.

THE BASEBALL HABIT.

The baseball se9son is open and
as usual the fever is registering high.
There is no game in existence that
is calculated to excite more intense
interest. There is something about
it that appeals to the passion of man
for something excitable. Young
boys become ambitious to excel in
the art Of playing while other am
bitionS wane and you find him do
ing more actual work in an hours
game of ball than ne would other
wise do in day. The word dope"
is very appropriate and the effect
of baseball on the average person
is like dope" 1t makes one forget
everything else for the time being.
This would be alright if one game
did not call for another and another
until one feels that he could not
live without it. This is true of
those who witness the game as well

will come into position of influence
in the senate once more with the ad-
vent of Elihu Root. He will enter
with prestige that will at once put
him in position as to committee as
signments and general influence above
many old members, some of whom
will not like it. Naturally he will
find classification with the conserva-
tives; but as an intimate friend and
adviser of the president it may be ex.
pected that his influence will be ex-
erted strongly to carry out the policies
of the administration. The same may
be said of Mr. Burton, of Ohio, who,
while not radical, is what might be
termed progressive conservatives,
and in that respect the antithesis of
the man whom he succeeds
On the so called radical side there
will be Cummins, of Iowa, who already
has served briefly as the successor of
Senator Allison. Crawford of South
Dakota will be welcomed by the SEN
ate radicals, if he wishes to join their
society. The others, although some
have seen service in the lower house,
are not widely known outside their
own states. In most cases the circum-
stances of their election bespeak pro-
gressiveness, and, all in ali, the sen.
ate changes may be regarded on the
eve of new congress as greatly for
the better.

AN amendment to the constitution
seeking to confer upon the ladies an
equal right to the ballot will be sub,
mitted to a vote at the election in
1910. The movement started before
the Legislature at first sought only a
limited suffrage, the right to vote up
on all questions involving the hand
ling and restriction OF the liquor traf-
fic. Under present conditions we be-
lieve such an amendment would have
been adopted. 1t is stated that the
liquor interests are responsible for the
submission of the full suffrage amend
ment as they feared the effect of the
women vote in liquor matters, and
knowing full a suffrage amendment
would very likely be defeated, while
the former would likely be adopted.
