Tered prizes to children who would
make the best showing in collecting

the result is that the section of Wood

Circus Attracts Many, Although the
Weather Proves Drawback.
La Tena's Wild Animal circus show
ed in Danielson Thursday, just a day
ahead of its appearance here last
year. Drawing a little better weather
than did the Frank A. Robbins show
on Wednesday, but not a whole lot
better, the circus drew a larger crowd
and went away with a more liberal
share of change. Two elephants that
figured as an attraction with the show
last season and some riding acts
that were also remembered pleased
at both>the afternoon and evening per-
formances. The exceptionally unsea-
sonable weather, however. kept the
acrobats and others doing risky stunts
in the show from turning themselves
out to the limit, but the crowd SEEM
ed well pleased. especially as the price
for admission has been cut this sea-
son. If some weather prophet can
arrange it so that Danielson can have
better circus weather than it has had
for the past two years, business will
be better for the shows, especially If
the shows themselves happen to be
on g little larger scale.

BLAcKLIsTED MEN.
Not Always Known to Them, Liquor
Dealers Complain.

Some of the liquor dealers of the
town complain that they do not know
number of the men whose names APP
pear on the blacklist. From time to
time new names are added to this list
which is required to be kept conspicu-
ously posted in each licensed place,
and it is not infrequently the case that
the dealers never saw or heard of the
man. This makes it practically i'm
possible for the dealers to safeguard
themselves against selling such a per-
son and becoming liable to be penal
lied according to law. The dealers
would feel much safer if they could
have an opportunity of some certain
means of identifying all blacklisted
men, for there are those among those
under the ban who will try to buy, it
is said, if they feel at all sure that
they are not known in the place where
they are deciding to try.

We desire to correct an error in
our announcement of last Saturday.
The quoted value of the Library
was 81, 400 when it should have been
$4,000, This was due to the use of
the first announcement in another
contest being used for making up
copy for Putnam contest, the value
of Library not being altered
through an oversight. No doubt our
voters understand this now as a
letter was immediately issued to
our merchants as soon as the error
was discovered correcting same.
The Library Competition which
was announced a week ago today is
meeting with a hearty reception

Maine to the Sunny South during
the past fourteen years by the

now Putnam and Danielson are add
ed to the great list of hundreds of
villages, towns and cities which
have passed through this unique
and interesting competition. Many
voters are no doubt eager to see
the results of their efforts appear
in print and next FRIDAY this will be
shown. In the meantime, all in
terested should make their effort as
persistent as possible in order that
q creditable showing may be made
when the results are tabulated and
published.

not as yet be familiar with the

THANKS BURNS

For many hours the man pictured
here practically held the political
fate Of William Barnes and former
President Roosevelt in his hands.
When the twelve men who heard the
evidence in the libel suit brought by
Mr.. Barnes against Mr.. Roosevelt re-
tired one juryman, Burns by name and
motorman by occupation, stubbornly
opposed report in favor of a real
verdict for the colonel. He was the
central figure in the one public act
furnishing the climax of the five
weeks political drama. There were
reports that everything but a fist fight
had been resorted to by the jurymen to
compel an agreement. Although Mo-
torman Burns can take care of himself
he is six feet tall, weighs 1875 pounds
and is handy with his fists-he finally
joined with the other eleven and found
a verdict for the colonel. Although
Mr.. Roosevelt thanked all of the jury
men he was more than cordial to
Burns.
