And vet more confusion over the
true status of Names potato crop
and profits. From letter written
to the Courier-Gazette by A. /.
Whittier-a hitherto reliable CORE
snondent-it is CLEANED that TINS sea-
! son is to be one of profit to the
Aroostook grower, yet Saturday
| etories from Bangor estimated losses
of from $500. 900 to 100000 to the po-
| toto growers because of the heavy
rains and subsequent frosts. Here is
the line that most OF US, PERHAPS
! NAV view as the keynote or the as
| patch. the motif, so to speak Inc
supply. it is said, will be smaller thah
was expected early in the season.
The Mars Hill View, published, last
! Thursday. at Blaine, Aroostook coun-
Inv. Maine, seems to pretty nearly
agree with the statements OF Mr
Crockett published in these columns
4 Yesterday. At the same time 1t wouio
indicate that there is not exactly al
absolute unanimity of opinion on th'
erhiect even in Aroostook. Here i
is;
'.The Houlton correspondent of IN
Commercial is forever Quoting T. /
Cleveland as potato authority we adini
/ Mr. Cleveland understands the potat
business but there are others. Rlsi
here in Mars Hin we have man a

Killed Himself For Love.


Disappointment in love caused Howard
Welsh, youth but eighteen years Of
age, 10 take his own life last Friday even
ing. The tragedy occurred on the public
road east OF Leetown. Young Welsh,
who has been employed recently in Ha-
gerstown, is a son OF Thomas Welsh, of
this county, who lives on the farm OF g.
w. Hoffman, near Kearneysville. He
was very much in love with young
lady named Craig, who lived in the Lee
town neighborhood, but her father OBJ
iected to his attentions and she herself
had given him TO understand that they
could not be friends. Last Friday he
made several attempts to see her, but
was unable to do so. About half-past
six O'Clock in the evening he was seen
TO walk past her home, and was watched
closely by Mr. Craig. 1t was known that
he had intimated 10 several persons that
if his love was uurequited there would
be a tragedy, and there was fear that he
might try TO kill Miss Craig. As Mr..
Craig was looking after the young man,
who had proceeded down the road a
few hundred feet, he saw him draw a
revolver from his pocket. He fired two
shots in the road and then, placing the
pistol to his head, sent the third shot into
his brain. He tell unconscious in his
tracks. Mr.. Craig went TO him and al
once saw that he was fatally injured.
DR.. Hurst was summoned and did what
he could for him, but he died about an
hour and a-half later. The body was
removed to the home OF his father, and
Saturday was taken to Charles Town for
burial.

Council Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
town council was held on Monday evening
last, with all the members present and
Mayor Gibson presiding. The street
committee reported that grade had been
established at the properties OF M. E.
Spohn and M. q. Bast, who were in
structed TO have pavementS made within
sixty days.
U. S. Martin appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked that the stop gate in the run
on High street.-the changed. The engineer
OF the fire department reported the fire
apparatus in good order. Recommended
ton to conduct drug store was granted
Robert Gibson. Mayor Gibson and S.
]. Hodges were appointed committee

on the side streets the town. Treasur-
er Hodges was granted $3.50 to pay for

county crusher.
Hugh t. Downing, representing the
Shepherdstown Water Company, appear
ed before the council and asked that a
franchise be granted the said company
to construct and operate a system of wa
terworks in this town. The proposed
franchise was read and discussed, and
IFS items were tentatively agreed upon by
Mr.. Downing and members OF the council
after certain alterations and changes had
been made II was ordered that the APP
plicaton for the franchise be published
for thirty days, in accordance with the
law, and il will be acted upon by the
council at the next regular meeting, on
October 18th. The franchise provides
that the town shall pay $500 year for
the use OF water for fire protection, the
company to put in sufficient hydrantS to
protect the property within the corporate
limits. The maximum rates to be charged
consumers are very moderate, so that
every householder in the community
could afford to become customer. Per-
sons who wish to examine the franchise
may see copy OF it at the drug store OF
Mayor Gibson. We expect TO publish its
| main provisions next week.

The senate COMMITTEES on elections is
planned to report out the Woodwork
bills providing for the initiative and
referendum. Ii is planned 20 provide, in
the use of the initiative by the peo-
pie, for a requirement of petitions
signed by ten per cent OF the voters.
Instead however, of passing this pro-
posal for new legislation direct TO the
people, the plan is to direct refer
ence of the subject TO the Legislature
for consideration, and that body ii il
does not enact law. will submit the
matter TO the people for decision as TO
whether such legislation should be
placed on the statute books.
No one seems TO doubt the approval
and enactment of the initiative and

measure is TO get the bills out and

There is a possibility that the APP
portionment of representative districts
will be altered slightly in committee
as some of the representatives are in
favor of cutting off some Of the
Wayne and Kent delegation as out
lined by the Detroit solon. 1t Is sug-
gested that Jerome's bill be amended
SO as to give the big county II instead
of 10 as proposed by Rep. Jerome and
cut the proposed Kent delegation from
10 5. Wayne now has IA. This would
give Wayne an additional 3. Kent
would neither gain nor lose by this
transaction. This plan is proposed be-
cause OF the fact that in three in
stances two counties each having a
majority of the basis figure of repre-
sentation are joined into q single repre-
sentative district. 1t is claimed this is
illegal, unconstitutional. and unfair.
To straiehten this out il is proposed
to change the ratio.
Emmett and Cheboygan are 20 have
but one representative under the
original jerome bill. This also is true
of Charlevoix and Antrim and Oceans
and Newaygo. Under the proposed
changes each OF these counties will
have it's own representative. Wayne
and Kent will suffer but they will be
as fairly We'll treated as II other
counties ratio will average somewhere
near $4,000 population.

Rep. Dunn, of Sanilac, father of the
duced in the house is satisfied that
the free text book bills introduced
have been created purely for the pur-
pose OF throwing obstacles in the path
of nis measure. 1t is certain that
Dunn's bill will be reported out OF the
educational committee in the house in
spite OF the efforts OF certain book
publishing interests. Rep. Dunn has
been going back into the records of
other sessions and finds that there
never had been free text book bill
proposed until the uniform measure
put in an appearance.
Rep. Dunn explains that il is well
known fact that q free text book bill
is impractical and cannot prevail. 1t is
unnecessary since each district may
now go under the free text book pro-
posal If it elects. But the free text
book, in any event would not greatly
curtail the income OF the various book
companies. SO those who Will suffer
financially by the uniform bill always
have turned TO the free text book pro-
posed as defensive measure. Al
ways before they have been success
full in this by-play. This year the uni
form text book bill will be reported
out by the committee
1t will contain clause limiting the
prices TO what is now charged for the
same books used in Michigan in ad-
joining states and it is promised that
there are votes enough for it in the
house and senate 10 make it law.
Always before have the book publish
ing interests succeeded in prevent
ing the passage OF such bill. 1t was
conceded from the first that they plan
ned to make superhuman effort again
this time.
