some source. later declined to be con-
nected with it. The management then
decided to appear on its own account,
It being too late to make another date.
The advance agent secured a license
on the payment of $50, to appear on
Lee park. Then the opposition caus-
ed a resembling of the license and no.
tice was served that the show could
not appear in Lewiston on the dates

The only thing the officers found in
the brook was a sunken log. There
was not a word Of truth in the story.

been sent to all resident engineers, in
spectors and patroImen.
The policy of the Highway Commits
has noted in several places that guard
rail fences are being used by adver-
Users to tack signs upon. The High
way Commission directs that you re-
move all such signs which come to
your notice and that you report TO this
office your action in this respect CIV
ing the names and addresses OF the
parties who placed the signs, II you
know them, and If not, giving us the
name of the material which is adver-
tised and any address that may be on
the sign.
In case you see anyone lacking signs,
get their names and address and notify
them Of this instruction and say to
them that they will be prosecuted for
trespass."
Already reports have begun to come
in from the above named employees OF
the highway department and in one
instance $50 separate signs were re-
moved from 1900 lineal feet Of guard
rail.
The State Highway Commission
hopes that the public Will appreciate
and endorse their efforts along this
line and that Maine manufacturers and
merchants who are in the habit OF
posting road side advertising will re-
frain from using fences along the State
highways for this purpose.

WARNING BEARS FRUIT
Nine Gas Leaks Have Been Reported
to the City Hall.

The warning issued by Joseph Han
Ion, chief of the fire department, urg-
ing all persons detecting the scent of
escaping gas to report to him, resulted
in his having six reports before 10
o'clock today. w. L. Porter, city
commissioner of parks, whose depart
ment also includes plumbing inspec-
lions, received three reports. All were
investigated as quickly as possible.
Gas was found to be leaking in Suf-
ficient quantities to demand i'm
mediate attention in the areaway at
the north side of the Topeka State
Savings bank, southwest corner of
Sixth and Kansas avenues. 1t could
not be determined whether this was
gas which had worked its way under
the paving from the same leak as
caused the explosions and fires Tues
day morning. The scent of gas was
also reported at the Capital Building
& Loan company's location. 1t is be-
lieved all comes from the one leak.

Wilkes Barre. Pa. Sept. S.--The Sc
curing by anthracite miners of COM
plete recognition of the United Mine
Workers of America, esta blishm ent OF
the eight hour day, improvement Of
working conditions and a better meth
cd of adjusting disputes, were urged
in a speech delivered before the tri
district convention of the United
Mine Workers of America here today
by John P. White, president of the
organization.
On April 1, 1916, the present agree
ment between the operators and min
ers throughout the anthracite belt will
expire. The convention was ordered
for the purpose of formulating de-
mands for the next agreement.
"A very serious duty" said Mr.
White, "devolveS upon each and every
delegate to this convention, reQuir-
ing your wise counsel a.. rare .judg-
nent. This is an exclusive wage con-
vention, and in canvassing- the situa-
ton we should proceed cautiously and
approach the grave problems with
calm elaboration Large issues are
involved which include the welfare of
the anthracite coal workers, the an
thracite coal industry and likewise the
welfare of the public, which always is
a great ard important factor in our
wage adjustments"
Mr.. White remarked that he be-
Heved the present contract, despite
its imperfectionS,' was generally con-
coded to be the best ever secured.

Germans GrappIe for Great
Riga-Lemberg Railway.
Blast on West Front Prelude
to Big Allied Offensive.

London. Sept. S.-With Car Nicho-
las now in supreme command of the
Russian military and naval forces,
London is speculating as to what sec
ton of the long eastern front will be
selected by the emperor for his head
quarters. At the present moment
Courland appears to be the critical
sector of the line. General Ruhky is
in command there, and Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg apparently is not
making :ny great progress against
him.
Courland Zone ImperiIed.
The central sector has been held by
Grand Duke Nicholas and efforts of
the Germans to drive a wedge through
the swamps are proceeding very slow
~. The Galician wing, in command of
General IVanhoff is making a stubborn
stand against the Austrians and Ger
mans who are engaged in a tremen-
dous effort to drive the last Russian
from Austrian soil.
Weather conditions which in past
wars have proved an efficient ally
of the Russians again are intervening
on their side. A dispatch published
IN Copenhagen newspaper says the
rivers have been swollen by autumn
floods to such an extent that they
promise to form an impassa BILE bar
ricr to a further advance of the in
vaders. This dispatch represents the
immediate objective of the Austro-
German campaign to be the seizure of
the entire railway system from Riga
to Lemburg, thus insuring control of
lines of communication for penetra-
ton of White Russia.
Blast on West Front.
On the other fronts events point
to a concerted movement by the
allies The French commander, Cen
era1 Joffre, has returned from visit
to his tia liam colleague, General Cad
orna. British w2.rships ard the guns
along the Belgian coast have joined
the chorus of artillery fire along the
western front.
All this gives support to the grow
ing belief in London that an offensive
movement of some sort will soon mark
the activities on the western front.

GET SAME old PAY
County Commissioners Turn in Item
lied Bills for Salaries.

AS result of the recent contro-
verSy in the county over the way the
county commissioners draw their pay
the mmiSSionerS have changed the
form of their salary vouchers Their
vouchers for August which have been
presented called fo- twenty-siX days at
IS a day and were itemiZed. This is
the first time the vouchers have been
drawn this way. In the past the COM
missioners have been putting in
voucher for $125 without itemizing
the days worked. Attorney General S.
NJ. Brewster ruled that this was an
illegal form for the vouchers so the
commissioners made the change this
month.
]. E. Larimer, county auditor, cut
SIS off the salary claim of each COM
missioner because the law allows a
maximum of but $125 a month.
I'VE get the same amount of money
as before. This is just a new form of
making out the vouchers" explained
F. F. Nipps one of the commissioners,
when asked about the change. I'VE
have been drawing our vouchers ac-
cording to the advice of the county
auditor"
