OUR CONGRESSMAN At
WASHINGTON
COngrcN ,man Gould Is Working Hard
for the Interest OF Maine aud His
influence i Bciag Felt with Con
@rCNs.

Indica'lons afe bright for favorable
action by the present Congress on the
Bangor post Office matter. Represen-
tative Samuel " Gould of Skowhegan
and Daniel J. AcGilhCuddv are work
ing onergetieallH ON plan to hasten
House action. on th.t WIS devised
by them and has been endorsed by the
House majority leaders.
They haAe drawn up resolution
j which is OF tie same tenor - ou-
which would be submitted to 4 uousa
majority caucus. In order Ia avoid
conflict and agitation with possible
opposition in caucus, they have been
soliciting individual endorsements to
the plan by visiting each one of the
22S Democrats and submitting the
document.
Both the House Democrats from
Maine are using every endeayor to
expedite government action. Some
thing similar was done at once after
the Chelsea fire and the emergency
at Bangor is equally as pronounced.
Mr. Gould received fine encourage
ment from the outset as he is TAX
ing charge of that phase of the case
1t is recognized, of course. that action
depends upon the report of the com
mtteo on public buildings and grounds
which Will be glad to report favor
ably, it is understood. except that the
Democratic caucus two months ago
made an iron-clad rule not to under
take public building legislation in
any form at this session.
1t is natural that there should be
some reluctance toward resembling
any action taken at that caucus An
other caucus might preCipitate long

new parade will be presented
Indications point to a banner cir
Gus day and the railroads are prepar-

"Ringlingyile." Since its brilliant
opening in the Chicago Coliseum,
April l, this circus has been turning

It's unusual attractiveness is the rea-

LIVES OF GREAT MEN
REMIND Us
Some of Our Greatest Men Have Been
Farmers.

The old song that farming doesn' t
pay has now become a myth, 1t
must be admitted that, at least in one
respect, it always paid. The best
, and the greatest men that this coun-
try has ever known were sons of
farmers. Ex-Governor Fernald of
Maine is full-fedged farmer, Con-
gresham s. w. Gould was born on a
farm and today owns one. Con-
gresham Asher Kinds was born on
a farm and spent his boyhood days
there. There is not a town in New
England but the ablest professional
and business men of 1t we're brought
up on farm. and every town has
business and professional men who
are actively engaged in carrying on
farms, some of them being the best
in the town.

Pennington Scored Winning Run In
the 9th.

The best game of the season was
played here between the Skowhegan
High school an1 the Pennington
High school Saturday. The game
was won by the visitors but only
through one of the fiercest contests.
The two teams were well matched.
In the last half of the ninth inning
the score stood to 4 with Farming
ton at the bat, with two men out and
the game was lost to Skowhegan
when Taylor threw a wild ball, Civ
ing the man on second base a run
home. The score:

Shortly before two o'clock Monday
afternoon the protracted drought
broke with a bang, and during the
next few hours Skowhegan had more
weather than usually comes along in
month. Lightning struck in sew
eral places, one man was shocked
severely, and ten head of live stock
were killed, in addition to consider
able damage to the electric light and
telephone companies.
The first bolt to descend took the
top out of pine tree in the South
cemetery, but did no further damage.
A few moments later lightning struck
the chimney on the Ordway block,
scattering broken bricks over the
streets, and soaring the inmates of
the offices and the department store.
A big crowd gathered expecting that
fire would break out, but the current
had passed down the chimney and
into the ground setting only the SCOT
dIle. u0 DdbCiA6Dl was Allcu W I'LL
smoke which poured out of the chin
ney for a time, but the real damage
was surprisingly small.
Edwin Burgess, who works for
Holt & Hight at the potato house.
was standing at the time with his
hand against the stove. A moment
later the men in the office dragged
him out from under the table all but
unconscious. They took him to his
home where he was taken with eX-
treme nausea, and he had not recov-
cred sufficiently to be at work by
Tuesday noon.
John Weston, who lives out on the
south side road to Norridgewock, lost
yearling steer and nine sheep dur
ing the storm. There were three
head of young stock and seventy-five
sheep in the pasture at the time, and
the wonder is that more were not
killed They had gathered under a
group of maple trees at the east side
of the pasture, and lightning struck
the middle tree of the bunch. Huge
limbs were torn off, the stock men
toned instantly killed, and about f1f-
ty rods of rail fence demolished. The
posts were lifted bodily from the
ground, and the rails split and scat
tered far and wide.
The electric light and the telephone
companies both sustained consider
able damage. The power wires went
down ON the island and the trans
former at Norridgewock burned out.
Very few of the street lights were
burning in the outskirts of the village
during the night
The lightning followed the wires
into Goodrich's market in the Coburn
block, and but for the vigilance of
Night Watch Steward would have
caused a serious fire. He detected
the odor of smoke while making his
rounds, traced it to the store men
toned, broke in the door and put out
a fire that had started blazing up one
of the wooden posts.

GREEN AND WHITE.
Official COIOrs for Custer Patrol
Boy Scouts.

Green and white were selected as
the official colors for Custer Patrol
at a meeting of the Boy Scout lead
ers at the Y NJ. c. A. Tuesday
night. Outdoor plans for the sum
mer were gone over somewhat in
detail, and some fine outings sug-
gested In order to raise funds for
some necessary equipment it was
decided to collect all the old rub
bers that can be found and sell
them to the junk dealers. Records
will be kept of the amount each
scout brings in, and for each pound
one point will be added to the score
for achievement that each scout is
running up from day to day. John
Emery, Allan Wentworth, Carol
Morrill, were appointed a committee
to take charge of this particular
feature.
June 10th was chosen as the date
for the first week end camp, and
Blynn Goodrich, Earl Huckins, Mat
thew Green, John Emery and Ber-
nard Bailey were appointed a com
mittee to select the place. Clifton
Wheeler, Allan Wentworth, Guy
Thibeault and John Emery were ap-
pointed to look after the necessary
tents. Plans for the Fourth of July
were also discussed informally, and
something good in that line will
doubtless be announced later.

DEATH Of TERR|O
RECALLS MURDER
Somerset County Mys-
terry Never Solved
The Case Lasted Three Years and
te Respondent Was in the Count!
JaiI Two Years.

4 In the death of Alexander Terrfo
which occurred Saturday nearly ev-
body in this county is reminded of
the famous murder case which stirred
when Terrio was tried in the Supreme
court here for the murder of Matthias
Pare, a young French-Canadian. He
was found guilty by the jury and the
case was appealed to the Law court
when the verdict was set aside and
new trial granted, on new evidence
which State Essayer o. W. Knight
produced hv Investigating in regard
to bullets found in the body and near
the place where Pare was found. The
case was never tried again and Ter
rio was allowed to go on bail.
The story of the case is that on
April Il, 1901, the dead body Of
Pare, the young French Canadian,
who for several years had been ac-
customed to work as woodsman in
Maine during the winter season, was
found dead beside a tote road on the
banks of Misery Stream near As
quith Station. The body was fully
clothed and nearly covered with snow
but the partial melting of the SHOW
exposed a portion of the coat and fin
gers en- one hand. About a rod dis
tant a hat and woodsman's pack
were found. The left pocket of the
trousers was torn and turned inside
out and a short distance away a car
fridge shell of a 1880 Winchester
rifle was found laying in the snow.
The cartridge fitted the rifle of Ter
rio. On May ~ another cartridge
shell WAS found about fifty feet away
from where the body was discovered.
An autopsy of the body showed that a
rife bullet had been fired into the
breast and another into an arm. The
skull WAS crushed by an axe or some
heavy instrument.
Alexander Terrio lived in Rock
wood, a town situated on the bank of
the Moose river. During the preced-
ing winter Pare had been at work for
one Gaudet in the woods north of
Moose river and on Saturday. March
9, he received from his employer $150
in cash and a due bill for $l065S in
fl1l1 Cptt1aDpnt Of hic N1tinforic
The same day Gaudet and Pare left
camp together and returned to eau
det's home in lockwood. The next
morning Pare went to Kineo and got
the bill cashed, receiving $105.50 in
money and one quart of whiskey.
That afternoon Pare entered into a
general good time at lockwood and
several times during the afternoon he
exhibited his money. Terrio wasn't t
present, but Terrio knew Pare and
met him that night. The next morn
ing Pare started for Canada on foot
He was seen during the forenoon but
was not seen again while alive.
The chief evidence at the trial of
Terrio was the bullets that it was
alleged fitted Terrios rifle. There
was another sensation in the case
when John Macintosh of Berlin
Mills gave oath that Terrio did not
kill Pare but he knew of a man who
did Macintosh was later indicted
for perjury.
