PoSTOFFICE FLAGSTAFF FALLS
While Being Lowered for Painting,
But Luckily Without Damage.

What might have been a serious ac-
cident, but which happily was robbed
fof any details of that nature, occurred
shortly after II o'clock Friday FORE
noon when the big Flagstaff near the
north end of the water street front of
the federal building toppled over and
fell PROSTATE on the trolley wires of the
Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville Street
Railway. Some of the guy wires were
pulled from their fastenings on the
walls of nearby buildings but the tough
trolley wires of copper held. as did the
high tension wires of the Central
Maine Power Co. which are carried by
the standard lighting system poles on
the east side of the street. and which
helped support the flagstaff. Quite a
section of the flagstaff was broken off
ry the fall.
The accident to the pole was due to
the breaking of a guy rope. A. H.
Webber's crew had been making prep
arations for painting the two f1agstaffs
on the front of the building and had
taken down the south pole in safety.
They had also got the north pole start
ed. when the guy rope broke and let the
pole fall. The construction car and
crew of the street railway company
was soon on hand, and in addition to
assisting in removing the Flagstaff
from the trolley wires on which it
rested the men completed the repairs
on the guy wires so that the 11.3O cars
went through on time.

The training methods of the Teutonic

Midgets, the wonderful group Of little
people from the central powers Of Eu-

the acrebatic exercises of the Hungar-
ian Hussars.
Eleven of the tiny men in the troupe
make their entrance on eleven ponies,
and after their drill use the ponies in a
series Of sensational acrobatic stunts,
which few grown people are able to ac-
complish. This is only one Of the many
features Of the act offered by Singers
Midgets, in which every phase Of vaud-
eville is introduced. This 10 the last
day Of their engagement and all who

Halloween Plans.

Copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure News

Of course you're not too old to enjoy
Halloween. There Is something eerie
about the day and its pranks that de-
lights even grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers if they would but admit it. So turn
down the lights, and have the jack Ian
terms hung on that night Of nights and
take a hand in the general merrymaking.
And if you can boast Of children in your
household, or if you know of any you can
borrow for the occasion. lucky you are,
for then you will have an excuse for all
the apple -ducking and snapdragons that
you could possibly desire.
If Halloween has not been celebrated
in your household for many year. not
since you were Of the age to md sport in
borrowing your neishbor's gate and car
rying it down the road to stand in front
Of the door Of your schoolma' ANS board
ing house or to hang from q nearby. lamp
post, plan little surprise. All parties
that come by way Of surprises are 10
times more delightful than those that
have been planned openly.
Perhaps you can have dinner Or supper
at the regular time In the evening and
then find some pretext to get the other
members Of the family away from the
house for little while. You might make
a confederate Of one Of your neighboFs
and have her find some pretext for asking
them to make a short call. A letteS that
needed to be posted or a parcel that HAD
to be delivered 1t friends house would
be enough to get the members Of the
family away from the nreside for ,vs or
10 minutes. -
Then the transformation cap take place.
You can guicsl don your sheet and pil-
lowcase costume, turn down the lights
ana. bring forth the pumpkins anl various
Halloween favors that YOU can purchase
for . very little outlay. ~ The msmhees

 Bradley stated that he saw two figures after hearing a gun shot and then four shots fired in rapid succession by the figure of man after a receding woman. This, according to the police, is the truth, as the two figures were those of the negro woman and of MT. Wheelock. while he could see no third person because Mrs. Wilkes lay dead in the bushes.
 I want to say,'' said Attorney Vassar L. Allen, that even in the confidence between attorney and client, MT. Vince lock told the same story that he told the police, and from that believed it. It simply shows that truth is stranger than fiction and that circumstantial evil dence at best must be taken with a grain of salt.''
 W. K. Wheelock is tall, genteel look ing young man. He has been engaged in railroad business in Birmingham for the past 20 years. For several years he was ticket seller at the Louisville and Nash vile railroad station, and when the Terminal station was completed he was n:ad de the assistant ticket agent there. Two years ago R. w. Luclett, the chief ticket agent, resigned and MT. Wheelock succeeded to the position. He is married and has two beautiful children.
