SanServille is looking into it's final
ciai condition.

l.. d. Small, BoWdoinhamS veteran
town clerk is a very fortunate man. He
is 6S years old and never had a sick
day in his life. He never had an illness
or injury which required the servi-
ces of physician nor does he know
what it is to have even headache. Mr.
Small was in the Union army during
the war and while he saw some of the
hottest of the fighting he did not get
wounded nor contract disease. He has
every reason to feel well pleased and
thankful. Few men of his years can
show any such record.

went into the water alongside. One of

has the true sporting blood for travel.
In company with Lawrence Bearcc he
went after trout last Saturday and
made the connection all right. They
took to the Bennett brook in New Glou-

Earl caught $50 trout and his compan-

This thrilling story comes from Ban
gor The other night Pearl Hughes, a
farmland employed by w. w. Over
lock, just outside the city was in the
top OF the barn moving some hay by
the light of lantern which exploded,
setting the hay on fire all around him
His escape was almost instantly cut
off, but he made dash through the
burning hay to chute to the ground
floor. 1t was box about two feet
square and Hughes, being large man,
found himself wedged tightly several
feet from the floor. The flames spread
rapidly through the barn and burning
hay fell upon the prisoners head while
he shouted for help. His cries were
heard but it was some time before his
terrible plight was discovered. Res
cuers brought axes and worked desper
ately with the flames closing in about
them and finally liberated Hughes not
moment too soon. The barn was de-
strOyed.

REBUILDING ELECTRIC
LIGHT WIRING SERVICE

Under the supervision and direc-
ton of Supt NJ N. Weeks, a large
crew Of men are employed setting
new poles, resetting old ones, making
extensions on old poles SO as to
carry the wires higher in the air, as
we'll as stringing new wires through
the business part of the city. We
understand it is the intention Of the
company to put in an entire new
system of wiring strictly up-to-date,
with an entire new switch board that
will be in keeping with the best
service known to electricians up to
the present time. At present the
company are using about 40 trans
formers. Under the new system they
will only use twelve. The city will be
divided up into six districts, and
each district will have it's own sys-
tenn with light and power separate
in that district, and the two will be
kept separate. To provide for the
enlargement Of the service as we'll
as increasing its efficiency, upon
modern and up-to-date plans, the
Electric & Water Company have is
sued bonds in the sum of $4,000 to
take care and pay for this improved
service When complete it will take
care OF the increase in business for
a city of about 10000 population.
1t will probably be decided this
week as to who will furnish the
power, whether they will generate it
from their own plant or whether they
will rent the power from the Consol-
idated Water Power & Paper Com
pany.

CHAUFFEURS ARRESTED
FOR FAST DRIVING

We understand warrants have been
issued for the arrest of three parties
for fast driving on main streets in
this city, on complaint OF some of
our citizens. Our attention has been
called to the fact that some of the
drivers Of automobiles were violating
our city ordinances nearly every day,
at some time and places. Accidents
will occur if this is continued and
owners of autos ought to warn their
chauffeurs to keep within the law
and thereby work against any pos
sibility of accidents We are told
that those at the wheel of an auto
mobile have a craving desire to
speed the machine. We can easily
see how this may be SO, when not
in a crowded busy thoroughfare, but
on our busy streets, and some of
them narrow caution" should be
practiced 1t is far better to pay a
small fine than go into an accident
that may prove serious. Gentlemen
go slow.

LITTLE BOY MEETS
WITH AWFUL ACCIDENT

While at Abbottsford Tuesday A.
Hoene was an eye witness to most
peculiar accident and one which be-
speaks the deadly material used II
the manufacture of the fire works.
A little boy seven or eight years
old went into a store and after pur-
chasing some torpedoes came out to
fire them Off For some unaccount-
able reason as the boy appeared Oh
the store steps he put some of the
torpedoes in his mouth and an in
slant later as he jumped to the side
walk they exploded, tearing away his
lips and a part of his face. Mr..
Hoene did not have time TO learn
the extent Of the injury, but said the
sight was awful to behold.-Marsh

PATRONlZE YOUR
RURAL ROUTES

The postoffice department will is
sue an order that any rural delivery
route to which so cents worth of
stamps per day are not furnished will
be discontinued There are few routes
which do not already meet this re-
quirement, and once the ruling has
become generally known, even these
few doubtless be saved the service.
Farmers would do well to buy neces-
sary stamps direct from the rural car
riers, thus putting the services on
their line out of danger and forming
a good index to the prosperity and
intelligence of that particular route.
City postoffices are rated according
to their stamp sales and business
houses find it to their interests as
well as to those of the city in which
they are located, to buy their stamps
through their home postoffice. En-
larged and improved service depends
on the volumn of business transact
ed. the rural mail delivery will grow
in proportion to the extent to which
it is patronized. Sending mail matter
from home instead Of the town or
city postoffice will go long ways
toward making the new order of no
danger to ones own particular route.

Common CAMPAIGN
TO START SOON
Impression in vicinity of Marsh
field Seems to be Well
Defined.

Milwaukee News: Around Marsh
field, the home of William d. Common,
there seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Connor's campaign for the Republi-
can nomination for United States
senator viii be begun very soon.
1t is said that in talks with friends
in that part OF the country, MIR. Con-
nor has just been as frank as he
was when he was in Milwaukee one
week ago Saturday and has made no
bone of the fact that it is his in
tention to enter the lists for the SEN
atorial nomination. Such men as AS
semblyman Hambrecht and others of
the prominent politicians living in
that vicinity are fully aware OF Mr.
/ Connors intentions. What is more
/ it can be stated that public an
nouncement OF Mr.. Connor's desire
| for the Republican senatorial NOM
nation will probably be made very
! soon. 1t seems that Mr. Conner
! has talked over with friends the
character of his announcement and
that he will probably make it pub
lie in a few weeks.
Will Come Out Plainly.
1t is said that if MIR. Conner
| carries out his present ideas in his
announcement to the public, he will
plainly state his desire for the SEN
atorial nomination and the issues
that he will stand by. He will point
to his votes as lieutenant governor
on questions where there was a tie
| in the senate without his vote to
| show that he is progressive. Crit
cism of the tariff legislation now be-
! ing adopted by congress will also
likely be a feature Of the bill and
even the county option Issue will be
touched upon. In entering the cam
! paign early, it is said to be hoped of
/ Mr.. Connor to make the battle for
the Republican senatorial nomination
political duel between Mr.. La
Toilette and himself This is the
character of the fight which the
friends of Mr. Common desire, and in
his pre-campaign arrangements which
Mr. Conner is now making, he seems
! to be taking it for granted that he
will have the support of Isaac Steph-
enson to such a degree as to leave
no doubt that he has had conferences
with Mr.. Stephenson which lead him
to believe that the MaTinette sena-
tor is not urfriendly to his ambitions.
AS one member of the legislature put
it who is supposed to be in close
touch with the Stephenson plans, Mr..
Conner is naturally . caucus man
and would not be making an open
fight of this kind this early in the
campaign if he had not good reasons
to believe that he was to have sub
stantial support in the battle.
