PRISONER CREMATED IN
ALLENVILLE CALABOOSE

Mike Daniels was burned to
death by the burning of the AL
lenville calabocse, early last
Sunday morning, he having been
placed there the night before for
stabbing a man during a fight.
Daniels bore the reputation as
being a bad man and lived at
Advance.
Daniels and a man named
jackson had been drinking pref
ty freely during the day and
trouble broke out between them,
which ended in a fight. Daniels
slashed Jackson several times
with knife, wounding him, for
which he was arrested and
placed in Jail.
The marshal testified he thor
oughly searched the prisoner
before locking him up, and fail
ed to find any matches concealed
on his person.
Fire was discovered coming
from the roof of the calaboose
about 3 o'clock in the morning,
but before aid could be given
the man. the entire building was
ablaze.
All that was left of the un-
fortunate man was his charred
head and a part of his spinal
column. All the rest of the
body had been reduced to ashes.
The coroner jury rendered a
verdict Sunday afternoon that
Daniels come to his death by
being burned during his incar-
ceration in the Allenville Jail,
but did not fix the responsibility
for the fire as there were no evil
dence from whence it origina-
ted.
: jackson, the man with whom
Daniels had the trouble. left the
doctors office about 2 o'clock,
and the fire occurred about an
hour later, and while he had
been h card to make threats
against Daniels there was nc
evidence to connect him with
the burning of the Jail.
Daniels was about "a year:
old, the son of Rev. John Dan
els of Advance, and was a mar
ried man. His wife had left
him just about a week ago be-
cause of his wild and dangerou;
conduct.
The remains of Daniels were
shipped to Advance.

The Folly Of Fear

The most deadly element for
marring and dwarfing lives is
fear. 1t demoralizes character,
destroys ambition. induces or
causes diseases and paralyzes
happiness and achievement in
self and others.
1t has not one redeeming
quality. 1t is all evil.
Once we thought ourselves de-
pendent on ability or skill or fate
or chance. But enough progress
has been made in psychology to
enable us to know that ability
and skill are results rather than
causes.
1t is the mental attitude that
determines the life, and thanks
to Creator who gives us the
light only as we go on in the
pathway the mental attitude be-
comes more and more firmly
fixed the further we go.
However, the hand may fall at
its appointed or chosen task,
however the heart may falter
along the way. the mind, which
is fortifying both, can and will,
if allowed, cover the deficiency
in the one instance and Danish
the halting in the other.
So what is there to fear? The
forces that control your life are
in yourself, not in others.
Whatever seeds of disaster may
be ripening to fruition were
sown long ago in your vices and
follies, and ripen they will in
spite of all you can do.
There is no help in fear. Ma
ture works by laws that are i'm
mutable and that vary not the
slightest in the all the cyles of
infinite time.
You may be sure that if you
are mentally and morally in har-
mony with the laws of life all
will be well with you. The
fiercest storms will turn to gen.
tie breezes to watt you onward.
But if you are not in harmony
with these laws all will be
wrong with you.
Fear cannot help you.
Nothing can,
| You may cover and culver,
but the covering and quivering
will only the more weaken and
degrade you.
The mental attitude de-
termines your destiny as the
rudder determines the course of
a ship.
The attitude of courage, good
cheer, health and kindness leads
to pleasant pathways.
There is moth ing to fear but
fear.

million mark it had become four-mil-

trying hard to make out a case against
the Republican party has yet accused
one of its officials with diverting public
funds from other than their proper uses,
he said.
It has simply adopted policies which
were not in vogue Is years ago, such as
spending $500, 900 for good roads, 81, $780,
600 for schools, a large sum for the home
for feeble minded, and $3.50. 600 for hos
pitfalls. and SO on, he declared. Expenses
for State pensions have increased from
$40, 900 to $50, 900. In spite of all these
increased burdens the State tax today is
but three mills, as against four and one
half mills under the last Democratic gov
ernor.

AN INSULT TO THE PEOPLE OF
MAINE.
TBaneor Daily News.1

Bangor DAILY NeWS.l
The report that the Waterville Senti-
mel has been subsidized by the Republi-
cans to start back-fire on the Demo-
cratic party while at the same time pre-
tending to champion the Democratic
cause, is incorrect. So far as we have
been able to run the report down it origi-
mated with Democrat who had stopped
his paper, because, as he said, the edi-
torial columns of the Sentinel had be-
come both SO absurd and so irresponsible
in it's charges that the effect of its utter
ances was to react in favor of the Re-
publicans.
While we cannot vouch for the accuracy
of this story, it's fact that the Sentinel
has reached the desperation stage in its
campaign. This is shown by the follow
ing statement concerning the two insane
hospitals in Maine, clipped from the Sen
tinel, August oath:
Somehow in 1882 the insane of the
State were supported. 1t may be that
there were not so many SAT, 900 rebuilt
greenhouses then as how in connection
with the care and support Of the insane !;
1T may be that not so many people were
crazy in that Democratic year as now,
but the governor claims that all the
$3.50, $50 devoted obtensibly to the care
OF the insane is expended wisely. Much
of it could be saved and the insane re-
ceive exactly as good care as now. The
unfortunate beings confined in our insane
hospitals, for all the claim the governor
makes as to charity and mercy behind
the cost to support them, are entitled to
May God pity them from all who know
anything about their treatment either at
Augusta or at Bangor
Can anyone imagine anything more
outrageous than this reference to the
two great institutions maintained in this
State for the care of the most unfortu-
nate OF all our people. Not single
specific charge; not single instance of
abuse, but sweeping intimation that the
inmates of both of these institutions are
mistreated. This is an insult to the peo-
pie of the entire State, whether they be
Republicans, or Democrats. The fol-
lowing is list of the trustees of the in
sane hospitals:
Frederick ROBBIE, president, Gorham.
Charles 3. Field, secretary, Bangor.
A. R. Nickerson, Boothbay Harbor.
George E. Macomber, Augusta.
Thomas White, Bangor.
Edward E. Chase, Bluehill
Mrs. Frederick Cony, Randolph.
Most of these trustees are personally
known to many of the people of this
State. President Robe has been gov
ernor of the State. Mr.. White is life
long Democrat. Yet the Waterville
Sentinel in its support of the Democratic
candidate for governor nsinuates that
the poor unfortunates under the care of
this board of trustees are subjected to
mlstreatment. In one line this editor
derides the board of trustees for an ex-
penditure of money for greenhouses to
brighten the fleeing moments of sanity
among these wards of the State, and in
the next charges the same board with
countenancing abuses. Could anything
be more despicable? Could the fortunes
of political candidate possibly sink to
lower depth than has been reached in
this campaign when leading exponent
of his candidacy resorts to such methods
as these?

LITTLE DOSSIE.

Around my chair maiden romps
Who was born in Idaho,
And ere she reaches womanhood
She will have lot to grow.
People call her Little Dossie,
Just to sweeten up her name,
And as she ranks as bonny now
She may some day rank with fame.
She can cross the painted carpet
Just as sprightly as cat
When mouse invades the pantry
And is heard beneath the mat.
And her tongue can run as rapid
As an automatic loom
When a rush is in the market
And new cotton's on the boom.
But such children must have freedom,
Though its wisdom many doubt.
They sooner learn to tighten
Where the older lamps burn out,
And it teaches them to trestle
For the other fellows bed,
Which is really most important
Ere the other fellows dead.
When Dossie's face is smiling,
Which is really all the time,
One believes that he is basking
In some ever sunny cline.
That there is no pain nor sorrow
But our lives are filled with bliss,
And if other worlds are lacking
We have something sweet in this.
Her eyes attract and sparkle
Like the richest gems of yore.
Or like stars more brightly shining
Than they ever shone before.
And the ripple of her laughter
Fills my being with delight
Till dream there may be shadows
But no never-ending night.
Let me linger here with Dossie,
Though my life be filed with care,
And who wish may have the heavens
And the everything up there.
For a pleasure which is present
And can sweetly move about
Ranges well beside promise
Which some other people doubt.
But soon must part from Dossie
Andfher brightly beaming eyes.
Should we meet beyond the river.
There will be sweet surprise,
! will clasp her to my bosom
Like my present kindly way
And will tell her how I'd hungered
For that sweet and happy day.
G. H.

BURLncHs LAST BOOK.

A book has just been added to the
Lawrence Library, Fairfield, that will
be read with renewed interest when the
story Of the circumstances under which
it was written. are known. It lie the last
book written by the late Clarence Bur
leigh, entitled with Pickpole and
Peavy," or 1.-TWO Live Bows on the East
Branch Drive When we saw that this
story is considered by critics the best
thing that ever came from the pen of
this gifted and greatly mourned gentle
man, we are saying great deal, but not
too much we are certain.
1t seems that Mr.. Burleiph had
promised his publishers the manuscript
OF this story some time ago, but his
severe illness prevented his keeping his
promise. While sick in hospital in
washington he received word from his
publishers reminding him of his promise
and telling him that they were already
advertising the book and there was sure
to be great sale for it, owing to the pop
ularity of his former boys stories.
Mr.. Burleigh at once procured writ
ing pad and bolstered up in bed he began
the laborious task of writing the ''copy"
for this long story. Much of the time
when he was writing the funniest por-
lions of the story he was suffering the
severest agony, but it made no differ
ence to him. He had given his publish
ers his word that the copy should be
ready on time, so bolstered up in his sick
bed he wrote the entire story that is now
being devoured by so many thousands all
over the land, and the copy was sent to
the publishers long before he was able to
leave his bed.
Another interesting thing about this
charming book is it's dedication to his
wife, as is told in the following lines to be
found on the title page:
To my wife,
Whose interest has inspired this book
Is it affectionately dedicated.
