The street department expects to fin
ish today the repairs which have been
In progress for about a month past
on the State street and Western avenue
sewer. which has proved one of the
most difficult piece Of street work
that the department has had to con-
tend with this year. There was trouble
with this sewer last year which caused
the earth over it to settle but the seri-
BUSINESS Of conditions was not ascer-
tanned until the work Of repair began
this season. Since the work was be-
gun the crew has been obliged to ex-
cayate for a distance of over 70 feet,
the trench going to depth Of % feet.
The sewer pipe was found to have
been badly crushed in places, due per-
haps to the fact that it was laid in
made" land. The sewer has been re-
laid In 16-inch pipe, this being reen-
forced by concrete, and it is the belief
that the repairs will prove permanent.

LACK OF JUDGMENT
GETS LOUIS BE1|T
4 MONTHS IN JAIL
Steals Two Quarts of Peter Fee
'roy's Birthday Cele bration
Whiskey and Also Becomes
Very Much Intoxicated

Louis Betit, aged 10 years, was in
peck of trouble Monday because of
his having monkeyed with the demon
rum, both internally and externally.
and because Of this demonstration Of
his lack Of judgment he will have to
anguish four long and weary months
in Kennebec Jail. thus missing all OF
the glad summer time, and unless
something should happen to shorten
his Jail sentence the fruit will be ri
pening in the crisp air Of early au-
tumn and there may be a few frosts
on the low lands before he again has
the opportunity of viewing the Jail en-
trance from the outside.
Louis principal cause for trouble
was that he had been arrested for
intoxication. When arraigned before
the court he could not deny the charge,
and in view Of the fact that he had
several times before been before that
tribunal to answer to various charges
Of a more or less serious nature he
was given sentence of 80 days In
Jail.
But that was not all, for Louis was
also arraigned on the charge Of lar
ceny Of two quarts Of Whlskey from
Peter Feroy, the loss Of which liquor
at the particular time on which 1t
was alleged to have been stolen was
very annoying to Mr.. Fer9y. inasmuch
as Monday was his 93d birthday--so
he told the court-and he had secured
the liquor in order to properly cele-
brate the anniversary. When asked
about the liquor Louis memory OF the
occurrences of the past "a hours was
SO hazy that he could not tell just
what had become Of the wfiskey. ana
accordingly he was pronounced guilty
and given sentence Of 80 days IN
jaiI, making with the above sentence
four months.
Three other cases We're heard, the
charge in all Of which was intoxica-
ton. One respondent paid fine ana
costs, amounting to s12.62, rather than
to take a 30-day sentence in jail. the
second paid fine and costs of s4.62
and the third was given 90 days in
Jail but the sentence was suspended.

reminded one of the dogdays that
will come later in the season, and fol-

and that which came Monday morning
made the humidity in the atmosphere
all the more noticeable. At o'clock
Monday morning the mercury indicat-

at noon it registered so. During the
afternoon a breeze cleared the air
and lowered the temperature, which to
a great extent eliminated the disagree
