st. John River Commission
Meets, Today, at Fredericton.

Bangor. Me, May 28-Hon. Oscar F.
Fellows of this city, left, Wednesday
afternoon, for Fredericton to attend
the session of the International St
John River Commission, which will
open there. Thursday afternoon, and
be fore which he is in behalf of the
United States government
This will be an important session OF
the commission, as the work will con-
sist chiefly Of framing the issue upon
which all the matters Investigated by
the commission will be argued before
the commission. II will include the
use of the ST. John river for the pur-
poses of driving logs, the use of the
river and it's tributaries for the pur-
poses of national1conservation of wa
ter the conditions and use of the riv-
er where it forms the boundary be-
tween the United States and Canada
and below, as well as all other matters
which the commission has been at
work on during the past three years.
This work is preliminary to the ar
guments which are to be made before
the commission counsel representing
both the United States and the Domin-
ion of Canada in the early fall. The
arguments will in all probability be
heard in this city.
There are some matters that the
commission, which is made up of VITO
representatives from this country and
two from Canada, will be able to agree
upon, and these will not be argued by
counsel.
The session, Thursday, marks the be-
ginning of the end of the work of the
commission, as the final arguments will
follow soon after the issue is framed.
The evidence taken by the commission

which fills volumes, is all completed, ii
is believed.
In addition to the work for which the
meeting is called in Fredericton the
commission has another important
matter to take up. There is to be a
report on the hearing in regard to the
proposed railway bridge across the st
John river between Van Buren, and st
Leonard's. This hearing was held
about two weeks ago, and at that time
only those favoring the bridge appear
ed before the commission as witnesses
There were no objections to the plans
for bridging the river, as far as the
commission learned.
A report on the matter is to be made
to the War department Of the United
States government at Washington and
one is also to be made to the depart
ment of public works of the Dominion
government at Ottawa. Owing to the
fact that no one appeared to object to
the bridge, it is more than probable
that this report will favor the PROPOSE
ton, which is now before the Cana
dian government at Ottawa.

| & N Favorable To Webb Bill.

We have it upon the most reliable
authority that the Louisville & Nash.
vile railroad company have no inclina-
ton to antagonize the recently enacted
Webb liquor bill. 1t was not their in
tention to violate the provisions of this
bill, and what they did do was done
through Misunderstanding. Our in
formant tells US that there was an
agreement entered into between the
officials of the L & N and the officials
of the Anti-Saloon League of Ken
lucky, whereby the latter were to Sc
cure an injunction in the Federal court
in Cincinnati to restrain the shipping of
liquor into the state of Kentucky, and
that the L & N should accept this in
junction. The L & N relying upon this
means to prevent the shipments, failed
to instruct their agents, as it would
not have been necessary had this agree
ment been put into effect. However,
for some reason the Anti-Saloon Lea
que people failed to secure the injunc-
ton, and shipments were continued,
but as soon as it came to the know
ledge of the officials of the road that
their company was delivering ship
ments in violation of the law, they
forth with issued instructions to their
agents to discontinue the delivery.

Fiscal Court OF Garard County Adopts A
Measure Which Results In A Saving
OF Four Hundred Dollars
Annually To The
County.

The Garrard county Fiscal Court was
in session last week, with all members
present. The term of the county
treasurer having expired, the court let
it be known that it would receive bids
from the various banks for the
custodianship of the county funds.
There was only one bidder, the Garrard
Bank & Trust Co., whose bid was an
offer to pay the county the sum of 500.
per year for the handling of the county
funds, and this bid was accepted and
Mr.. j. w. Elmore was appointed
county treasurer, for the use and
benefit of the said bank.
The county treasurer has heretofore
been paid $500. per annum for his
services, and the new arrangement
results in saving of $500. per annum
to the county. The last session of the
legislature extended the term of
county treasurer from 2 to years, and
the bank under the present arrangement
will have the county deposits for that
length of time.
Mr.. Crowley Broaddus, secretary of
the County School Board. reported to
the court that the levy for school
purposes would have to be increased
from 10 cents to 20 cents on the 800.
and $3.50 poll tax, which is the legal
limit. This raise was necessitated by
the number of school buildings being
erected throughout the county and the
necessary repairs and improvement to
the old ones.
DIR. VIM. Burnett resigned as county
physician and DIR. w. Nc. Elliott was
chosen in his stead.
The court was in session on Tuesday
and Friday of last week and besides the
business above mentioned, allowed the
routine county claims for the previous
year; they then adjourned until Tuesday
of this week when some turnpike
matters were taken up.

be well worth hearing.
The lecture will be given under the

admission fee will be charged. A
special invitation is extended to the
colored people to attend, the left hand
side of the court room will be reserved
especially for their usage and all that

Arson Again Perpetrated In Garrard
County And An Effort To Destroy
Human Life Seems To Have
Been Involved In The
plot

The home of Link Miller on Scott's
Fork of Sugar Creek in this county
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night
and only by herculean efforts were Mr..
and Mrs, Miller enabled to escape with
their lives, and in their night clothes,
they claiming that the door was secure
ly fastened, probably by the party who
applied the torch, from the outside.
The fire occurred about IL o'clock and
only part of one bed was saved from
the flames. The indications are that
the window of the room in which Mr..
and Mrs. Miller slept was pred open
and torch applied to the inside.
Capt. V. G. Mulliken's blood hounds
were sent for and arrived on the scene
Wednesday, they Immediately took a
scent and we are Informed trailed to
the nearby home of Mrs. Bud Pendle-
ton, who with several sons lived in the
vicinity, and our informant tells US the
dogs passed by the boys and ended
their hunt near Mrs. Pendleton. Our
informant was also authority for the
statement that there was i'll feeling
between Mrs. Pendleton and the Mil
lers.

neighborhood of the barn burnings for
which John Simpson and Othel East
were convicted at the last term of cir
cult court and sentenced to the pene-
Tertiary, but there seems to have TAX
en- scant warning from their fate, and
it will be necessary to convict others
This latest occurrence will be thorough
ly investigated, the state fire marshal
will probably give assistance, and there
is but slight doubt that the guilty par
ties will be run to earth and made to
suffer for their misdoinga.
