People had no time to consider any
suspicion they may have had, before a
newspaper mans story comes to hand
and makes plain the manner of man
he is.
He was examined and cross-ex-
amined in this office and stoutly de-
MED that he was in any way connect
ed with the disappearance of Jordan
or Reed from Sanford.
He told the Register that he had
never had a picture taken and knew
nothing of the Sanford man" All
day Saturday he refused to change his
story.
Saturday afternoon he was arrested
for debt after failing to produce funds.
Monday morning he left the hotel and
boarded a north bound car-but not to
return again.
1t is apparent that he was without
funds-to an appreciate amount but
would probably start a business on
credit and dispose of the stock to the
unsuspecting public.

INFORMAL RECEPTION.
Given TO Mr.. and Mrs. Judkins a
Bethany Church.

Tuesday evening, November 16, an
informal reception was given at the
Bethany church under the auspices of
Mrs. Fremont Homsted's Sabbath
school class to Mr.. and Mrs. d. F.
Judkins, who, in the course of the
next two weeks will go to Spring
field, Mass. their new home.
A short program was carried out
consisting of a vocal solo by Fred
Nye. singing by the Sabbath school
children and the reading of a poem
of Henry Van Dykes b. Miss Louise
II. Coburn. Rev Geo Merriam, the
pastor. in behalf of the church peo-
ple then presented Mr.. and Mrs. Jud-
kins with a gold piece as a token OF
appreciation and regard =. Mer-
RAMS words were hearty and we'll
chosen. He compared the friendship
existing in the hearts of his people
for those about to depart with the
gold of the coin both would ring
true and both had been tried and
purified in the making.
Refreshments of ice cream and waf-
ers were served and all seemed tc
enjoy the friendly sociability OF the
occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Judkins are well
known in Skowhegan and have many
friends throughout the town as well
as in the Bethany church of which
they are both members. Mr.. Judkins
has been connected with that church
for more than twenty years. For thir-
teen years he was superintendent OF
its Sabbath school, filling that posi-
ton ably. His business life in Skow-
hogan won him the respect and good
will of all citizens.
Mrs. Judkins voice in singing and
reading has given great pleasure anG
many occasions at Bethany church
and in other places. She and her hus-
band will be greatly missed. The
good wishes of all will attend their
departure.

Reality.

This is the week of the annual
Skowhegan Grange fair which is al
ways looked forward to by the citi-
zens. During the past few weeks the
chairman, W. 3. Whittier. and the
committee have been busy soliciting
articles from all interested in prepar-
alton for the event Much time has
been used in arranging the tables in
the banquet room, which are a credit
to those who did the work. The room
is prettily decorated with evergreen
vines and young trees which give
pleasing effect.
Last evening the three-act comedy
drama "Barhayen' was presented to
a large and appreciatiye audience.
The parts seemed to be appro priate-
II assigned and We're carried out in
a manner indicative of the good
training which they have received.

a better condition of affairs among all
classes and in all the varied walks
of life.
A recitation was given by Mary A.
Tozier, select reading by Eva Shean,
song by Fay o. Foster, and an instru-
mental solo by E. E. Clifford. Some
experiences in early life were given
by the lady officers and the Canaan
Grange orchestra rendered fine music
at intervals during the entire session.
Owing to the fact that nine of the
subordinate Oranges in the county
have formed a new Pomona and con-
sequently reduced the number of pay
ing members about third, it was
thought advisable to arrange the off,
GERS salaries, dues and other finances
to suit present conditions and past
masters w. b. Whittier, G. H. Foster
and L. l.. Smith were chosen as a
committee to investigate, make the
arrangement and report at the annual

This from the Bridgton News:
"HE HAS WENT"
Promoter Jordan Leaves Springyale
IIncnrem0ninnslY.
UnceremOniOusly

A special to the Portland Argus I'M
der the date of November 4, from
Springvale, Me-, states that the plant
of the Maine Manufacturing Co, has
been closed up tight by the creditors
and that many of the townspeople,
who invested in stock in the COM
pany, are anxiously awaiting the re-
turn of the promoter of the new en-
terprise, w. b. Jordan, who has left
Springvale.
Early in the spring w. B. Jordan
came there from Portland and rented
what is known as the old Butler
building, remodelled 1t into a plant for
the manufacture of various cotton
goods and sold quite lot of stock
on the strength of the rushing bust
ness which was sure to follow. Mr..
Jordan was there all summer getting
machinery installed and about a
couple of weeks ago with an equip
ment of 100 machines and force of
OF 6lllo OpSl dliOllo StdI lSus TIC ili0
of the new industry was short, for
after working a couple of weeks and
seeing no wages forthcoming the girls
left.
1t is understood that the machines
were secured on credit and have not
been paid for as well as practically the
whole fine equipment Mr.. Jordan ad-
Yertised extensively for statesmen who
were willing to invest 5000 in the
company's stock before going to work.
Quite a number of people of this
town and also of Sanford invested
hard earned coin in the enterprise
and today they are wondering wheth
er or not they bought a gold brick
While it may have absolutely moth
ing to do with the case in question, it
is queer coincidence that it was a
man by the name of Jordan from
Portland who was trying to induce
Bridgton people to put money into a
similar enterprise here some few
months ago. The line of goods to be
manufactured was also of the same
nature.

SOMERSET POMONA HAS
REGULAR MEETING
Regular November Session Occurred
Last Week.

The regular November session was
held with Canaan Grange, Tuesday,
November 8. The roads were unfay-
orable for travel yet there was fair
attendance from the surrounding sub
ordinate Oranges. All the officers
were present except the treasurer and
gate keeper.
Mrs. Susie Jewell in behalf of Ca
naan Grange, gave spiendio
address of welcome and Mrs. Ella II.
Crowell had the honor of responding
to the welcome. These sisters In their
remarks fittingly touched upon some
of the great work and principles upon
which the Order of the Patrons OF
Husbandry is founded.
The question of cooperation came
up and earnest remarks were offered
in favor by G. d. Steward, G. H. Eos
ter and F. K. Davis. The question of
the modern conception of crime was
discussed by S. F. Emerson. Mrs. S.
F. Marble, G. d. Steward, G. H. Foster,
w. C. Hobart, E. p Richardson, c. r.
Oliver, H. c. Cover, F. e. Davis and
Eugene Danforth. The speakers as a
whole claimed that the world is grad
ually and surely improving in the de-
velopment of the great principles of
Christian manhood and womanhood;
that crime and evil acts are looked
upon with a greater degree of abhor-
renee than in former years and that
