have come from electric light wires

flames reported but the smoke and

came so intense that an explosion

sound of the breaking glass as it fell

Gratifying Report

F. P. Pennell, proprietor of the
Crystal Spring Co, has just received
the following letter from the State
Laboratory of Hygiene at Augusta.
Gentlemen:
| enclose the results of the analysis
of the sample of water from your
spring, which was sent to me by the
Maine Central Railroad Company on
the 21st instant.
The analysis shows the water to be
in first-class condition to use for all
domestic purposes as it Is free from
all evidence of contact with sewage
wastes, or with surface drainage. The
water is a clear, soft, colorless and
odorless water, with a normal min
eral content for your section of the
State. But trace of dissolved or
ganic material was to be found.
In its present condition this We
ter is a fine one to use for drinking.
and for all domestic purposes.
Comparison with the figures of the
analysis of Mr. Howe shows the water
to be in better condition than at the
time of that analysis.
Very truly yours,
II. d. Evans.
Director.

can only think of how kind, generous
and loyal he was, and how brave and
strong and how we shall miss the
light and warmth of his friendship.
This village in which he was born,
and which has always been his home,
and which he loved better than any
other spot on earth.-how much poorer
will this village be for his loss How
much less there will be here TO in

that he is gone, But his influence
in this community through the years
to come will be counsel and courage

SIG. SATTELLE Is HERE
Biggest Show TO Come to This Town
For Several Years

The Sig. Sautelle Nine Big Rail
road Shows arrived early this morn
ing from Pennington, where they
played yesterday, and ran into the
yards of the Maine Central railroad.
OF course the small boy was on
hand, after. probably. sleepless
night, and a hundred or SO curious
adults who were in the know of the
big shows coming The process of
unloading the "a cars was conducted
swiftly, the animals and tents and ac-
cessories as hastily transferred into
wagons and all rolled away TO the
North street show ground where the
big circus event, the first of the sea
son, will be pulled off today. as good
shows have a habit of doing.
The free street parade trayersed the
streets in the forenoon in both mag
nificent and goodly array. Open
cages of wild and tame animals of
every species from the Dark Cont
nent; equestrians and performers in
tallyhos. carriages. chariots, and au-
tos costumed in gay colors. big

tatively along; Nebraska Bill, leading

who chanced to be in Pennington
yesterday and attended the big eX-
hibits are enthusiastic They pro-
nounce the Sautelle shows the larg-
est and most meritorious for a two
ring and-eleyatedstage affair they
have ever seen in all Showdom.
One of the leading features-per
haps the greatest-is the horseback
riding. Under Oscar Lewande, for
mer star of the big ones, the eQues-
trians have been trained to do some
of the happiest and most marvel
lOus feats OF skill, strength and agil-
ity.
Both the menagerie and ring depart
ments, under separate. but connecting
tents, are surprisingly large. with a
seating capacity of ZOO. The big
side show alone is as large as many
one-ring tent shows.
The way SkowheganS turned out
this morning. and the enthusiasm theH
expressed, the inference is that their
favorite Snowman and hero. Sig. Sau-
telle, will find that his popularity has
not diminished since his last visit here
some years ago

MERCH ANTS DAY
PLANS
Skowhegan Will Keep
Open House June 19
Day Is Planned with Skowhegan as
Hostess and People of Other Places
as Guests

The central ideas for the coming
Merchants Day celebration in Skow-
hegan are quite different from those
which have pervaded other fete days
in the Shire town. 1t is planned
that every store shall cooperate in
the success of the day by Offering at
least one unusual bargain Most of
the merchants thus far interviewed
declared their purpose to do much
more than this, indicating that they
will make liberal price cuts in sew
eral departments. There has never
been cooperative effort to create a
shoppers day of this kind before
theoretically. it ought to prove buy
ing opportunity of a very unusual
kind. In another column we print
some of the announcements already
made. Additions will be accepted to
this list of bargains for publication
in next issue.
Other than the attractive bargains
offered for this day, the people from
other towns will be entertained at the
Opera House, during the noon hour
and provided with lunch. For
this purpose. all visitors should 80 to
the latter building at half past eleven.
A band will give frequent selections
and there will be songs and other mu-
sical numbers. While listening to
this entertainment box lunch, de-
signed to be sufficient for the noon
meal, will be provided and this is to
be eaten while the program is going
on.
OF course the above announcements
are subject to modification as devel-
opments may make necessary, but the
lunch and the hours entertainment at
noon are certain to be carried out.
Our next issue will give more details
and probably the final arrangements.
While the bargains, offered by the
Skowhegan stores, are open to any
one, whether visitor or local resident,
only those properly regarded as visi-
tors will be admitted at the Opera
House and entitled to the entertain
ment provided there. The day is
planned with Skowhegan as the hos
tess and people of other places as
guests and all should enter into it in
that spirit.
