Look Out for Fires.

AS the dry weather continues there
is more reason to guard against fires
than there has been before. Every
thing is like finder and every man
who carelessly throws away his cigar
stub, or match after lighting his pipe,
is liable to set fires that will do great
damage. When once started it is al
most uncomfortable. Early Friday
evening it was discovered that there
was fire at the end of the new foot
bridge across the Carrabasset and was
working it's way up through the tim
bers, presumably set by throwing a
cigar or match to the rubbish below.
1t was quickly extinguished and but
little damage done. There was fire
at Arson valley week ago that call
ed out quite force of men to subdue,
caused by setting fire to brush piles.
The last part of the week the people
of Emblem on the river road just
above the town line were fighting
fire, also caused by burning brush.
At such a dry time as this no one
should set fires as the liability to do
damage is great.

she had fine time when absent and

earth like it. You can go abroad and
enjoy yourself to the fullest extent

While Hermann The Great lived he
was the master magician of his time
and the only person with whom he
shared his secret was his wife. Her
mann was always devising something
new, something startling, and at the
time of his death had partly worked
out several illusions which he fully
expected would surpass anything he
had previously produced. His widow
has been working on these ever since
and is now ready to show them to the
public. The first presentation will
be made at Keith's Theatre during

mann has appeared in public before

1t was strange sight, the other
day, when the Russian Emperor
Nicholas set foot on the soil of Eng
land, and was received by King Ed
ward in most princely and mag
nificent manner. The one represents
monarchy which comes very near
to being republic, while the other
is one of the most cruel despots on the
face of the earth. Seemingly there
is a big gulf between the two, but
perhaps meetings and conferences like
this will help to bridge it over.

Labor Commissioner Thomas J
Lyons is getting together facts con-
corning the opportunities our State
has to offer to manufactures, capital
lists, summer residents, tourists, farm
ers, and those seeking employment as
farm laborers. He believes that our
greatest need is for farmers, people
with love for the soil, not simply
some one to reside on the farms, but
intelligent, temperate and progress
sive farmers, who will imbibe the
good qualities and enthusiasm of our
own people and help them develop
the resources that now lie dormant in
all sections of the State. "Emigra-
ton to the West has become a thing
of the past and the movement is now
in the direction of Maine, the result
being a decided advance in the value
of farm property. 1t may be well at
this time to recall the fact, new to
most people, that as far back as 1887,
years before Aroostook developed
into great agricultural county,
Maine produced more than 1000, 00C
bushels of wheat and in 1888 the
wheat production was increased ma
terially and the corn production was
1858, $3.50 bushels in the ear. These
results were not obtained from any
one section of the State, but prac-
tically every town contributed to the
grand total. There is no sense or
reason why Maine should not produce
it's own breadstuff.

March Dedicated to Guy E. Marble.

March Dedicated to Guy E. Marble.
Many Skowhegan friends will recall
Walter r. Gage who resided here I'M
til about 1902, leaving at that time to
go to the Pacific coast which has
since been his home. Mr.. Gage had
much ability in the musical line and
has followed this profession to the
present time. While here he gave
instructions in pianoforte playing
and he added to this some work as a
composer since going to the West.
Recent productions of his are the
"Arizona Two step" and "March
Funebre", both published by NJ. d.
Swisher of Philadelphia. Mr.. Gage
was one of a youthful company who
were formed by the late Guy E. Mar
BILE in the Juvenile Orchestral,
something over 20 years ago. This
musical organization was coached for
time by professor j. Abbot Kendall
and it is said that it influenced him in
his decision to form KendaPs Or
chestra which has since become one
of the best known orchestras in the
state. Mr.. Gage always held a very
warm regard for his friend, the late
Mr.. Marble above mentioned and the
"March Funebre", above referred to
is dedicated to him.
Mr.. Gage is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Gage, formerly residents of
Skowhegan, and now resides at Los
Angeles. Cal. where his uncle, A. F.
Robbins is proprietor of the Lakeview
