"PUILLNG TOGETHER.

PULLING TOGETHER"
The Herald ard News is delight
ed to see the editorial in the Ob-
server on "Puling Togeth7r.' 1t
j. the doctrine that we have been
trying to preach for the past tWen-
ty-fve years. There is absolutely
40 chance for amy town to advance
in those things that make for a
strong community, commercially and
otherwise, except by united effort.
Now that the Observer is preach
ins this doctrine so forcibly and so
strongly, we believe We can be able
to accomplish something IN that d.
rection. During our residence In
this community there have been
various efforts to organize boards OF
trade, chambers Of commerce and
merchants associations but they
have never been as successful as they
should because the men Of the COM
immunity never pulled together and
never attended the meetings as they
should. And it too often even hap
pened that those who enlisted as
members would spend part Of their
time and energy in knocking the
enterprise or the organization and
saying unkind things of others, who
were trying to do something, IN
stead of putting their shoulders to
the wheel and bearing part OF the
burden and helping to push the
community along. 1t has been un-
fortunately too true that when amy
enterprising citizen would under
take to launch an industrial enter
prise, from which every one, whether
financially interested or not, would
receive, at least indirect benefit, the
disposition has been to speak unhnd-
ay Of it and of those who were en-
deavoring to build the enterprise.
We want to be rid Of this spirit
and we want to get the full team, as
the observer wei lsays, 'tto pull to-
gether." There must be no balky
horses.
We are perfectly delighted to
quote the following paragraph from
the Observers editorial:
s'In all matters that look to the
common interest Of a town, such as
drawing trade, building up new in
dustries, making the town attract
i've and easily accessible, the people
should work together"
We take it that this means that
we shall hereafter have the eoopera-
ton Of our cotemporary in efforts
to lay out and build some parks in
the city and also have its coopera-
ton in efforts to build some perma-
nent highways leading to Newberry.
These things will take some money,
but as we have heretofore remarked,
the money invested in them would
be in its truest sense an investment
that would pay good dividends. We
hope that this same spirit will take
hold of all Of our business men and
that We may be able to throw aside
Little petty jealousies when it comes
to the advancement and interest Of
the entire community, and that we
may all "puH together.'

Political Pot
Begins to Boil.

Tile political atmosphere is surcharSed
with activity on the part Of Republican
and Democratic candidates Tor the may
orally and lesser Offices Of the munich
pality. The friends of the respective cam
didates are advancing claims why each
is the logical candiuate, owing to the
fact that Mayor Rcdington made decis-
i've declaration not to be a candidate for
mayor under any circumstances at his
inaugural address last March and reiter-
ated it again a few weeks ago through a
public letter. The character of the men
spoken of for the Republican nomination
are all men of exceptionally high stand
ing in the community, every one of them
being capable of administering the affairs
of the city in a businesslike manner.
John e. Nelson, the present city clerk,
is the choice of the younger element and
has a very large following or personal
friends in both parties.
Frank Hubbard, manager of the Sebas-
ticook Ice Co., at present alderman from
Ward 4, wherein he has made good rec
ord. at all times speaking and voting as
he speaks for conservative admin1stra-
ton of the city resources, while always
willing to support any measure that tends
to the advancement of Waterville's civic
virtues and business interests.
Hon. w. J. Lanigan, formerly men,
Der of the Legislature, is also spoken of
as a candidate for the nomination and
would poll a heavy vote.
The Democrats have in view one of two
men, n. X. Fuller, last years candidate,
who polled his full party vote but was de-
feated, and DR.. J. l.. Fortier, alderman
from Ward 6. TIE claim is advanced that
he would poll a large French vote and
would make a formidable opponent.
The notices will soon be posted an
nounCing the ward caucuses which will
b> held during the week of Feb II. The
general caucus for the nomination of
mayor will probably be held Saturday
evening. Feb. &c.

evening, when the Arcadia Club of the

it did last evening and the large num-

1t was truly Japanese party and
he Oriental decorations were so num-
erous that the spacious hall resembled
the palace of the Mikado. Suspended
from the ceiling were innumerabie
lanterns, the rays of which cast a radi-
ant light over the jovial party. Para
soils and other japanese decorations
were in abundance. while in one corner
beneath a large Japanese shade was
the refreshment table and presided

and for the hop. The scene as one
looked over from the orchestra booth
was an impressive one. Whist playing
commenced at 8 o'clock and for two
and one-half hours this form of pleas
ure was enjoyed. Refreshments were
then served and the floor cleared OF
chairs and tables and dancing COM

entertainment of the former part OF
the evening and lasted until a small

SNAKES HARMLESS IN COLD.
Rattlers Have No Poison in Glands,
Says Professor Dyche.

In an accidental way, Prof. L. l..
Dyche recently discovered that a rat
tlesnake's bite is not poisonous in cold
weather. Such snakes have no poison
in their glands during the alternating
period.
The professor, with a friend, was rid-
ing over the western plains near Wa
Xeeney. Kansas. enc day in the latter
part of November, when they spied two
big rattlcrs summing themselves within
short distance Of a prairie dog hole.
Dyche's friend grabbed shotgun and
killed one 1t was loaded into the
wagon and taken to the ranch house,
where the professor held post inortem
on it.
BY removing some Of the muscles"
said Pro-. DycIlc, the poison glands
were laid bare. Much to my surprise
th.re was not o drop or even trace
Of poison in them. They were empty
and shrunl:en, at least as compared
with the glands &C other rattlesnakes
which have examined after the poison
had been removed.

speculation and discussion. The snake,
Judging from the normal condition or
It's organs and the amount Of fat 1t had

stanty and had no chance to get rid
Of the poison by biting any object. Ev-

is hardly possible that it could have
elected all the po:sons from the glands.
about tile only reasonable idea that
suggested itself was that during the
winter season, at least in cold climates,
where snakes hibernate. the rattle
snake and perhaps other poisonous
snakes do not have venom in the poison
glands. The iGea of an organ being de-
veIoped for some special use and then
being dispensed with is in harmony
with many things that occur in nature:
II hope to get some live speciment OF
rattlesnakes and fix a place for them TO
go into winter quarters, ard at tho
proper time dig them up and make FUR
ther investigations. However, rattie-
snakes are not very common, excepc
perhaps in a few unfrequented locali-
ties, and persons who are willing to
catch live rattlcsnakes for the moder'
ate sum OF 81 each, and keep them I'M
til a naturalist can get hold OF them,

New York, Feb. THE coolest day
of the year in New York came and
went between sunrise and sunset. At
daybreak the thermometer registered
but two above zero with searching
wind from the northwest; but at 10
o'clock tonight the temperature was 20
above and still rising, while the wind
had sunk from 40 miles an hour to
- and had shifted into the southwest.
There was great suffering among
the poor and many cases of frost plte
and exhaustion were reported TO the
hospitals while from surrounding SUI
burbs came word of several deaths by
freezing.
New York City struck the minimum
of winter temperature and just ABOUT
the maximum of cold weather dls-
comfort and suffering today.
Records for the season were broken
with the registrating of a tempera-
turc of two degrees above zero at .
A. NJ. The lowest point previously reg
istercd bv the mercury of the official
thermometer at the weather bureau
was five above on Jan. 5. The Arctic
wave was ushered in by gale reach
ity and continuing even after sunup
today, but II miles an hour below the
maximum.
Below zero temperatures We're plen-
tiflIly registered on street thermom-
eters, while in suburban territory the
mercury sank many degrees below
and from points upstate came word
Of ,'rrps of from 10 to 20 degrees. with
eratti ring reports of even greater

"ro entire East, in fact, today, was
in the grip of the winters best eHort

an extent not experienced for several
years. the combination of zero temper

More than 500 persons were sheltered
last night in New York's municipal

a fire was built under it today. A gas
range was overturned and fire followed.
The explosion wrecked the restau
