Prof. Robinson Of Bowdoin College has
experimentally proved that poisoned
drinking water can be purified by the use
of bleaching powder. The Professor Is
State Assayer and member of the State
Board Of Health. Polluted water supply
OF Jersey City has thus been purified and
the people are safely using IL. The Pro
lessor thus shows that the chemical
action of bleaching powder purifies water
more effectively and at less cost than
filtration. Here Is something OF mo-
ment; for our rivers and lakes are grad
ually being poisoned by civilization.

Christmas presents to their stockholders
in the form of cash dividends and stock
dividends in amounts which look almost
fabulous TO the man on the street. Very
pleasant for the stock holders, but it may
not be the best kind of far-sighted policy
for the express companies, for the peo-
pie are getting FESTIVE under the press
ure of the extravagant profits which
they are contributing to some classes of
public service corporations, and these
big dividends may have some of the

One of the best known men in Maine,
though he never held public office ex-
cept a term or two in the legislature,
was Scion Chase, who died at his home
in Turner Tuesday at So years of age.
He first acquired considerable degree
of fame through the columns of Chase's
Chronicle, a paper made up largely OF
matter written in "Uncle Solon's'
unique style. He was undoubtedly
rightly termed the father of the Green
back party in Maine, which at one time
had so much strength that ii caused an
overturn in the state government, and
was the unsuccessful candidate OF that
party for various offices. Though he
travelled quite extensively at times, as
campaign speaker and lecturer, his home
was within a stones throw of the old
farm where he was born, and he was an
excellent type of the sturdy, self-reliant,
thinking New England farmer. Not all
the vagaries of politics ever made him
one real enemy, and few men leave this
world SO generally respected for real
worth,

Thanksgiving Day and the meteorologi-
cal conditions are quite similar to what
they were when Mr.. Taft was made
president of the United States. But the
boys are out deer hunting all the same
and they have been after them more or
less, much OF the time more, ever since
the law permitted it.
Last week Scott Merrill of Norway
came up for that kind of sport, in the
mean time calling at the Bennett place,
but was obliged to return without any
thing except the fun of hunting them.
Saturday morning nearly an inch OF
snow fell, sufficient to cause the kids to
get their hand sleds out for slide, but
soon 1t was nearly all off and the cattle
were in the field grazing again just as If
nothing of the kind had happened.
During the forenoon another phenome-
non appeared, this time in the form OF
flock of wild geese, about twenty-five in
number, and headed southwark as is al
ways the case in autumn. They were
flying in the form of the letter V, and
although high In the air their usual
honk! honk! every few moments was
plainly audible.
Friday. II all the recent storm had
been snow, instead of ending in rain,
there would have been a foot or more;
but now there are only few inches so

road.

the same age and died of a similar dis
ease.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe from New Glou-
cester spent Thanksgiving with their

half inches Wednesday night.

PRESIDENT lAUDS GIN. GRANT
Is Principal Speaker at Birthday Din.
ner in Memory OF Late Soldier
President.

Philadelphia, April %. = President
Taft last night was the principal
speaker at the Grant birthday dinner
of the Union league in this city and
paid a striking tribute to the SOL
dier-president. Mr.. Taft was sharp
ly criticised a year ago because of
certain Of his references to Gen.
Grant, and ne took advantage of last
nights opportunity to express anew
his admiration for Gen. Grant as a
man, as soldier and as chief execu-
tive of the United States.
The president reached Philadelphia
at 6:55 D. m. There was a delay en-
route from Washington of nearly an
hour, caused by the breaking of a
drawhead in the coupling of two of
the cars on the regular New York ex-
press, to which his private car was
attached. The train was not an un-
usually heavy one, and the fact that
the coupling gave way two cars in
front of his own brought out consid-
cradle good-natured chaff for the pres
ident
At the club house the president held
a reception for more than an hour.
Gen. Horace Porter of New York and
President James F. Hope of the Union
league were among the speakers who
preceded President Taft.

Mill IS WRECKED;
FIVE MEN KILLED
Lumber Plant at Kerrick, Mimi,
Is Raced by Explosion
OF Boiler.
men ARE HURLED SIXTY FEET
Boiler Was Inspected Last October
and Pronounced Good for Ad-
ditional Pressure.

Kerrick, Mimi, April 2S.-Five kill
ed and five seriously injured resulted
from the explosion of a boiler in the
McGrath & Hogan sawmill here yes
terday. The dead are:
Ernest Whitaker, unmarried, but
the principal support of a family.
Henry Bentz, married and father Of
five children.
Harry Abbott, married.
Arvid Berglund, single.
Oscar Rorstrum, single.
The injured: Homer Martin, Pat
rick Williamson, Joseph McGrath, AL
bert Leyman and man whose identity
is unknown.
Hurled Sixty Feet.
The men were employed in the mill
when the explosion occurred and two
of those killed were hurled sixty feet.
The building was torn to pieces, and
that the five men injured escaped is
considered miraculous.
The engineer was in the engine pit
and the force of the explosion passed
above his head. He escaped with no
injury other than the effects of the
terrific shock his awful experience
gave him.
The boiler of the mill was inspected
last October, and the proprietors we're
told that they might with safety add
additional pressure, which, however,
was not done.
The injured men are expected to
survive and all escaped extensive
manning
