Here and There.

Out in the rural wilds we don't need
to be specially concerned regarding the
three horned discussion of the "Jltney"
which, il may be briefly explained, is
motor bus carrying passengers from one
point TO another for five cent fare. Ac-
cording to the point of view the Jitney Is
one of three things-either the supply
ing of a long-felt want; an institution
which threatens the prosperity of the
worthy street railroads; or an unmitl-
gated nuisance. The indictments against
il are several, such as, that it runs over
people-as il street cars or taxis never
endangered any one; that il is used for
immoral purposes-is if immoral people
never used the street cars or taxis-and
so on. But we are still waiting to see
against it the charge invariably the last
resort of those who want a thing abol-
ished-that it transmits disease.
Ex-Governor William t. Cobb of
Rockland, in answer to an inquiry by the
Lewiston Journal, writes that paper
that for personal and business reasons
he shall not be candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
Senator next year, and that this decision
is final and irrevocsble. In closing his
letter Mr.. Cobb declares that his interest
in politics has not lessened, and says:
1.-THE Democratic party is proving to be
both visionary and burdensome, and our
own party, having taken to heart some
of the costly and necessary lessons oil
the last few years, will in my judgment
be called upon in the next elections 10
assume again the full responsibility for
government in the nation and in Maine.
The town OF Woodstock at the recent town
meeting adopted wise measure. that OF having
patrol OF three men, who will during the
spring. summer and fall devote all their time e
patrolrng and keeping In repair the roads. The
plan has worked well wherever h has been CIV
en- q thorough trial-kennebec Journal.
The Democrat has been an advocate OF
the patrol system for the care of the
roads, and rejoiced to see the town OF
Woodstock take that progressive step.
We confess our enthusiasm has been
little dashed by reading in some paper
that the selectmen of Woodstock were
considering the appointment of road
commissioner, and that said commits
sioner would have three plums at his
disposal in the employment of the men
to patrol the roads. II these jobs are to
be regarded as "plums," why then, in
the slang of the day, "Good night" to
road Improvement.

MRS. ERsKINE TO TEACH.
School Board Elects New Teacher
Has Another Vacancy.

Mrs. r. G. Erskine, wife Of the min
lister of the Dallas Evangelical
church, was elected by the city school
board last evening to the position OF
teacher of the seventh grade, b class.
This is a grade being added to re-
lieve the crowded condition of the
high school building. Prof. W. l.
Ford has moved his office to another
part of the building and the room
that he occupied has been fitted up
as a classroom. Mrs. Erskine, who
was elected last evening, has had
much experieifce in teaching and
takes her new position with thorough
recommendations. A vacancy was
recognized last evening by the school
board in the position left vacant by
B. M. Callaghan, instructor in man
ual training and book keeping. The
board authorized Prof. Ford TO fill
the vacancy as soon as possible. No
other business of Importance was
transacted.

TAX BUDGET ADOPTED
EIGHTEEN MILLS SET AS AN
NUAL TAX ASSESSMENT.
City Marshal Chase Reports Dilapi.
dated Condition of Many Side
walks Within the City.

Routine business for the most part
occupied the attention of the city
council at its regular meeting last
evening, although, by unanimous vote
the tentative budget prepared in COM
mittee meeting was made official. The
budget as prepared levies an assess
ment of 18 mills for the years taxes.
This total is divided into the various
funds as follows: General fund 10
mills, road fund 3.5 mills, library
fund l mill, water works fund l mill ;
sewage disposal plant fund l mill,
armory fund rs mills, county fair
and city park fund .75 mills. This
budget is 2.5 mills higher than that
of last year, but is much lower than
the tax levies that will be adopted
by other nearby cities, so that the
estimate is considered low. The band
will be aided next year by city funds
as result of resolution passed
last evening. The mayor will appoint
a committee of three, one councilman,
one member of the band and one bus
inessman TO see that sum not to ex-
ceed $50 monthly is properly spent
for the band. An elderly man made
a plea for work of any kind and ask
ed the aid of the councilmen in find
ing such for him; resident request
ed permission to fence in section Of
street and another asked permission
to build a crosswalk over the street.
Another matter of importance was
the reading of a report prepared by
City Marshal Chase ON the condition
of sidewalks. The street commission
er reported that all crossings in bad
repair were fixed and the council vot-
ed the right to the street commission
er to lay temporary cross walks wher-
ever necessary.
Marshal Chase's report on side
walks was referred to the street COM
mittee. According to the report the
following walks are in need of repair:
210 Court street; skating rink, corner
Oak and Jefferson streets; Elias Hin
shaw, POI Jefferson; 5O2 Academy
street; requires new walk on Jeffer-
son street, side; Dunkleberger, $40
Shelton street; Lee Fenton on Shell
ton street, between Court and Mill;
Chas. Black on Ash, between Church
and Levens; DR.. Foster on Ellis, be-
tween Ash and Maple; Fred Rich,
vacant lot on east side of Levens
street, near tannery bridge; Brown
property, 7l9 Academy, needs new
walk on Levens street, side; Dan Sy-
ron, 71S Washington; Chas. Syron on
Levens street, between Ash and
Maple. The council authorized the
building of a plank walk between the
library and theater building. There
is narrow passageway between those
two buildings that is much used in
going and coming from the city hall.

ECCENTRIC NORTH RIVER.


Westerners tell Of the queer behavior
and changes Of course indulged in by
the Missouri river, and Texans aver
that for pure cussedness and general
fickleness no stream of water can ap
proach the Rio Grande. There is, how
ever, a stream in New England where
of the rest Of the country hears little
and which should in justice be accord
ed place in the list of queer behaving
bodies of water.
This is the North river in Massachu-
sets. 1t has its source In pond near
Hanson, whence it proceeds in a tOrtu-
GUS course to the sea at Scituate. Now.
the distance by air line from Hanson to
Scituate is only ten miles. but by the
North river it is forty.
New Englanders aver that when the
tide is coming in the North river runs
upstream, and not only that, but the
upper part Of it, which is fresh water,
also runs up. Thus this queer stream
presents the strange spectacle Of
fresh water river proceeding uphill.
The North rivers claim to eccentric
ity is not, however, limited to this fact.
1t is so crooked that it doubles on itself.
At one spot near Hanover this river. by
accomplishing three loops. moves to-
ward the sea for a distance of only
fifty feet and wanders, about for a dis
tance of about fifteen miles in doing it.
In November. 1898. the North river
got very cantankerous. 1t moved its
mouth three miles to the northward.
thus making present to the town of
Marshfield Of deep harbor. In so do
ing it killed three men and converted
many thousand acres Of good meadow
land into salt marsh.
Historically the North river is of note
as being the scene of the last Indian
raid on the coast settlements.-Phila-
delphia Record.
