have brought suit against the Maine
sheriffs for seizing liquor in transit
into Maine under the Wilson pure
food and drug act. A delegation Of
the sheriffs met in Augusta, last week,
to take action in regard to meeting
the issue. Their case will probably
be conducted by Attorney General

Lakewood Theatrical Season Opens

On Monday evening last the theat-
rical season at this popular summer
theater was formally opened, the
evening being most ideal for car ride
and the opening production, "The
Man on the Box" proved a most pleas
ing bill to all in the large audience
who attended this initial performance.
There has been but little change in
the personnel of the admirable COM
pany that was SO popular with our
theater goers last season, and in these
there seems no room for doubt but
what it has been for the better and
we shall all be privileged to witness
productions there this season far
superior to what one would expect at
summer play house.

"The m orning light is breaking, the
darkness disappears" This became
a real fact in the case of the venerable
Edward Everett Hale, the noted di-
vine, journalist and philanthropist,
who passed away at his home in Rox-
bury, Mass. early Thursday morning,
at the age of 81. He had been chap
lain OF the U. s. Senate for many
years. He was a Unitarian preacher
OF broad views for nearly half CEN
tury and was affiliated with the
pioneers in the anti-slavery move
ment. In his literary work he gave
to the country the famous stanza:
Look up and not down;
Look forward and not back;
Look in and not out
Lend q hand"
Using the sentiments as founda-
ton, "Lend- "a Hand" clubs. devoted
to public spirit, are now found on
every continent of the world.

Children's Evening at the Grange,

The young people of Skowhegan
Grange were the object of general
interest last evening, the event being
the annual Children's Night of that
society. Little folks from two years
of age and upwards gave recitations,
dialogues, piano solos and songs in a
most delightful manner, their audi
tors, members of the order, parents
and friends, listening with enthusiast
tic interest. Each number of the pro-
gram was worthy of great commenda-
ton but space and time only permit
the general statement that every
youthful performer was exceedingly
bright and interesting in his or her
part and that some of the numbers,
considering the age of the speakers,
reader or soloist, were really phe-
nominal. The following is a con-
densed program of the events of the
evening:

OF the amount of business waiting
to be done and the amount that
would be developed by an electric
line through this territory, too much
can scarcely be said. The road would
run through parts of three towns
and in belt of country about twelve
miles broad that is entirely without
rail transportation of any kind at
the present time. The territory to
be served should be considered as
twenty miles long for everything as
far as Brighton at least would come
over the new road. In this strip,
IL miles by 20, there is some OF the
best farming land in Maine, and
succession of saw mills and other
industries which would keep any
single track road very busy. AS MIR.
j. E. Chapman, member of the
Athens committee, puts it, it is not
SO much question of how much
business there is, as how much bust
ness such a road can handle. In
considering farm crops it Is interest
ing to note that at one point near
Athens village one may stand and
overlook fields now seeded to pota-
toes from which $4,000 to 10000
bushels will be harves this fall.
