SAD. CASE OF DEsTITUTI0N.
Family at Lakewood Found in DeplOr-
able Circumstances.

+. e. Gould of Anson, county agent
for the protection of children, went
to Lakewood, Thursday morning
where he visited the family of Fred
Mann, who was reported to be in des
titute circumstances. Mr.. Gould found
them in deplorable circumstances. Be-
sides Mr.. and Mrs. Mann, there are
seven children, five girls and two boys.
The childrens ages range from four
to ii years. None of those at home
had sufficient clothing and are badly
in need of underwear. The family is
living in a cottage on the shore of
Lakewood which is owned by Z Mr..
Hall. They are very poor and have
hardly any furniture or anything else
to keep house with. Mr. Mann is en-
ployed by Horace Spear in his steam
sawmill and he moved to Lakewood
about month ago from Deadwater.
The head of the house receives.
good wages but poor management
is said to be chiefly the cause of
the family's predicament. Mr.. Gould
intends to give them some second
hand clothing which will be made
over for the children by the Golden
GLOW Sunhine Society None of the
children have been attending school
as they have had nothing fit to wear.
Mr.. Gould warned the parents that
things would have to be carried on
differently in the Madison
Bulletin.

\ FITTING CANDIDACY.
Major j. W. Fogler in the Field For
the ONCE OF State Treasurer.

The Somerset County delegation
will present the name of Major John
W Fogler as a candidate for Treasurer
of State at the Republican Legisla
tive caucus of the coming session Of
the legislature
The lndependent-Repo heartily
seconds this nomination No better or
more fitting selection could he made.
1t would be emphatcally case OF the
right man in the right place Major
Foglers ability and training are CX-
actly of a kind to qualify and fit him
for the place. He is a trained banker
of long experience, his active life hay
ing been devoted almost wholly to thar
business
Prior to engaging in the BANKING
business he served for several years.
successively as clerk and chief clerk
in the office of state treasurer. during

still in this service he was in 1880
elected cashier of the First National
Bank of Augusta Me. since which
time his life has been mainly devoted
to the business of banking and invest
ment. The experience thus gained,
together with his practical KNOWLEDGE
of it's business, has given him a most
valuable training and equipment 'or
the Office This is an important con-
sideration and one which cannot fan
to have weight with the men upon
whom will devolye the duty Of choos-
ing man to fill this responsible Of
fee.
Major Fogler is a member OF the
Grand Army of the Republic having
enlisted as a private in the Civil War,
receiving promotion to the non-com-
missioned staff before the muster out
of his regiment. He also served in
the Spanish War, having
been commissioned Paymaster of Vol
unteers by President Mckinley at the
outbreak of the war. and serving in
Cuba and Porto Rico till the muster
out of the Volunteer troops.
In this connection it is fitting to say
that there is a public sentiment that
the debt to the soldiers of the Civil
War is a lasting one. and that, in the
bestowal of public fayors, everything
else being equal, the services of those
men should not be forgotten.
Major Fogler is actively interested
In public and civil affairs being di-
rector in the First National Bank of
Skowhegan. trustee and treasurer OF
the Skowhegan Public Library, direct
or and treasurer Of Somerset Central
Agricultural Society, and is also a
member, and actively interested in the
work of the local Grange
There is a growing sentiment that
our public offices shall no longer be
used as sinecures, and that the men
chosen to fill them shall be chosen
only on the score of their ability to
understand and perform the duties of
their Offices
In this respect Major Fosler's eandi-
dacy is an ideal one, and is bound to
commend itself to every member Of
the Legislature.

For number Of years past the

HONORS DIVIDED
IN DOUBLE HEADER
Locals Defeat Wheeling in a
Game Sunday Lost
Saturdays Game.

Bull" Smiths aggregation of base
ball players showed Sunday that all
they needed was a little practice.
After being defeated in Saturdays
game by a close margin they returned
strong Sunday and defeated the
Wheeling Mould and Foundry team in
an easy manner in smuggling matcn
by the score of thirteen to five.
The Wheeling boys started out like
winners, scoring in the first inning,
but the locals returned the compli-
ments in their half when they pound
ed Edwards to all corners of the lot,
tallying five times before the side
was retired.
The Wheeling team scored again in
the second and three more in the
fourth when Danley got little wild
and allowed base. on balls and hit
a batsman The Wheeling team was
unable to score after that and the
locals finljhed the game in the eighth.
Quinn started of in the eighth with
a walk and the entire team faced
pitcher Edwards in this inning, secur-
ing FIVE hits and eight runs, giving
them margin too large for the Wis
itors.
Danley, who pitched for the locals
pitched good game, and the Wheel
ing team did not deserve the FIVE runs
they got as several of them were
made on loose plays by the local
team.
Manager Smith was in rare form
Sunday, making three or four sensa-
tional catches on short flies that
looked like Texas leaguers, but the
big boy came in on them with scoop
and dug two of them out of the grass,
saving his team from being scored on.
In the eighth inning when the fire.
works was on he drove one to right
field that looked like home run, but
the wind was strong and It fell short
striking the fence and he was only
able to get twa base hit on it.
The team as a whole played much
better in yesterdays contest than
1t has been playing this season and
with nice weather this week the boys
will soon round into shape as they
are going to practice every evening.
