Not so with you.

And wondered II might dare

Now, what Is the grief or care

Stormy and chill always
Gloomy and drear;

For just over y0nder hill,
Gliding along,
Comes smiling, glad April,
When brooklet and river will
Burst Into song"
And lust behind, on the way,
Comes glorious, lovely May,
In splendor dressed;
With arms full of blossoms gay,
And nice green scarf to lay
Across Earth's breast.
And far down that winding lane
June comes to join the train,
Rosy and fair.
The woodthrusn's heavenly strain
She's bringing to you again,
So don't despair.

Waiting to welcome you,

Then you can bid adieu

Four pool room proprietors at Rum
ford figured In the proceedings Of Fri
day afternoon. Against each of them
two indictments had been found, for nui
sance and keeping gambling house re-
spectively. In each case County Attor'
ney Dyer asked for sentence on the nui.
sance indictment, and that the other
should be filed. Mr.. Blanchard in be.
half Of two of the respondents made a
strong appeal, and County Attorney
Dyer in reply urged that pool room
gambling had become serious evil at
Rumford, and should be checked.
The minimum fine OF 500 and costs OF
IS was imposed by Judge King on each
of the respondents In the nuisance cases,
and the others were fled. The four re.
spondents were William Thomas, Peter
Perry, E. o. Maria, and George Kallas.
william Mcleod, charged with break.
ing and entering and larceny OF hens and
a pig, was allowed to 60 on his own re-.
cognizance, the case being continued to
the May term on account of the absence
of witness for the state.
Max Lofchie, Hebrew junk dealer oil
Rumford, pleaded guilty to receiving
stolen property, and was sentenced to
three months in Jail. Mr.. Stearns spoke
in his behalf before sentence was impos'
ed. 1t appeared from what was said in
this case that the respondent had been

Sentence was fixsd by Judge King at .
flne of 800 and costs, and thirty days In
jail, and thirty days additional In de.
fault of payment of fine.

Saturday morning the Trip case was
10 order, and work began upon 1t soon
after the opening Of the days session. :.
Daniel d. Trip of Porter is charged
with an assault upon DR.. Edwin R. Chel'
lis of Kezar Falls In the same town. The
affair which re suited In this indictment
occurred in Porter on the 18th day OF
last April. Trip, the respondent, was
employed at Hallett's portable saw mill
when on the afternoon OF the 14th the
fireman at the mill was taken suddenly
i'll. Trip was sent to call Q physician,
and hitched up and drove to the post
Office and telephone at Porter village.
A physician was called for BY telephone
who was away from home, and DR.. Chel'
lis was then summoned. Mr.. Trip
drove back to Hallett's mill, and on the
road DR.. Chellis overlook him. Accord.
ing to the testimony of DR.. Chellis,
when he overlook Trip. the latter had
his horse set diagonally across the road,
and when DR.. Chellis attempted to drive
By on the right side, Trip dashed him
three times over the head and shoulders
with his whip, causing some Injuries to
one eye and other parts of the head.
The story told by Trip was that DR..
Chellis drove up behind him and into
the back OF bis wagon, the doctors
horse striking and breaking the back OF
bis buggy; that he then pulled over to
the right side OF the road, and DR.. Chel-
lis attempting to 60 by on that side, he,
Trip, struck first his own horse with
the whip and then he struck DR.. Chel-
lis horse with the whip three times.
He denied that he struck DR.. Chellis
with the whip at all. -.
Testimony was given that Trip had
made threats against DR.. Chellis, and on
bis part Trip testified that DR.. Cheilis
had on more than one occasion attempt
ed to ride him down on the road. It was
sufficiently evident that there had been
previous trouble between the men.
Trips expected witnesses did not ap-
pear on Saturday, and he was the only
witness for the defence. The testimony
in general differed only in details from
that given at the former trial, except In
one particular. At the first trial nothing
was put in regarding the reason for
Trips dislike of DR.. Chellis, but this
time it was brought out that Trip con.
sidered DR.. Chellis as having estranged
his former wife from him, and accused
the doctor of giving her Glove powders. "
After being out three-quarters OF an
hour, the jury returned verdict OF not
guilty.

GOVERNMENT TRYING TO
 CHECK CATTL LE DISEASE

Washington, November 2.-Federal
 quarantine to check a dangerous out break of foot and mouth disease among
 cattle In the middle west was extended
 today to include Pennsylvania. Indiana.
 Michigan and Illinois, and virtually to
 place Ohio under the same restric- tions.
 It affects the Chicago Union stock yards, greatest cattle market of the world. to the extent that no live cat l tie may be shipped from there, even
 to another infected area. Under the of- | fcial interpretation of the order cat | tie from areas other than those under
 quarantine may be shipped to the Chi
 cago yard but they may leave only as
 dressed meat.
 action was issued at the department oi | agriculture:
 l ''The provisions of this quarantine are the same those previously an | nounced for a few counties in Mich- 1 igan and Indiana.
 '.The quarantined states not only arc prohibited from shipping cattle to un-
 infected areas but cannot even send | shipments of stock from one infect | ed area to another.
 l No cases of foot and mouth disease have been discovered in Ohio, but since | shipments from infected areas have
 been made to this state 1t is necessary 1 to place nearly the same restrictions
 on interstate shipments from Ohio. Federal authorities in charge of the quarantine are earnestly urging every | farmer to report every suspicious case of sore mouths and lameness among
 his stock. This Is regarded as indis- I pensable if the disease Is to be stamped l out. Persons who recently have re- | ceived shipments of cattle from the in- fected areas should immediately iso- | late them"
 ] Department officials explained the spread of the disease Is extraordinar- l fly rapid. It Is so highly contagious that cattle passing through pens and
 alleyways where infected live stock
