five other colleges has been received by

developed this year a credi.able showing
would be made. The other colleges who
have been invited to the meet are Har-

Dartmouth with send team over tho
course. The Bowdoin freshmen made an
excellent showing against Hebron and
they are the backbone of the varsity

company and there are other freshmen
who have been developing good speed and
endurance over the course. The accept

it appears certain that due warning
was given and proper care taken to

question to be cleared up Is whether
the Llanao was an American ship. 1t
is known that negotiations for her sale
by the American owners to a Norwe-

IN selecting an All-Maine team this
year" said Coach Greene this morning.
II feel that justice would not be done
unless two eievens were named as in
the college series this year there prov
ed to be some excellent material. In
taking the end positions select as
first choice Reardop of Maine. whom
consider the best end in the Stste
with Perry of Colby as second choice.
My tackles would be Allen of Maine
and Heath Of Colby with Deasey Of
Colby and Hussey Of Maine, guards.
The first question ia the center posi-
ton to which I have given Shattuck
Of Bates, because of his ability to drop
kick. as any choice of this kind needs
such q man. Shattuck proved his
worth and right to the position in the
Maine Bates game which his kicking
alone won. Buchanan Of Colby as GEN.
ter alone Is considered, is the best in
my opinion. but he was played at tao
kle in a couple Of games. With Bres-
sett, Cawley and peWeaver as I'M
doubleday the best backfeld in the
State, would place the fast Sumner
Davis Of Bates at quarter.
In selecting my A)l-Maine outfit
have considered both the all round abil-
ity Of the men and especially COM
bination that would in my opinion be
an excellent machine"

VALUABLE SILVER
FOX CAUGHT BY

Vienna, Me-, Nov. 7.-(Special).-
Quite the most exciting occurrence in
Vienna barring the election Tuesday
was when Joseph Lord caught silver
grey fox in his traps just a short way
from the village. The animal was re-
ported to be cute little fellow" and
in perfect condition. One paw was
caught in the trap and even that was
only slightly injured. At rough es-
innate the animal is valued at lowest
figures at $500. Mr.. Lord has not def
nttely decided what he will do with
the fox but may send it to q nearby

son 20.
The total vote taken for the grades
and the High school was sos, out of
which Mr.. Hughes got a total Of SOB
votes, and his opponent received 1857.
The noticeable thing about this juven-
lie vote is that as the grades advanced,
and the pupils began to get more edu-
cation, the number which voted for
Hughes increased in almost direct ra-
ito, and also, the pupils in the various
city wards voted, in the majority of
cases at least, just as their parents
have done in past campaigns.
Contrary to Democratic claims, near
Nv all of the teachers voted for the
Republican candidate. At Cony High
school, it was a genuine election, with
voters trying to stuff the ballot boxes
Of, both sides, and hot arguments in
progress as to the merits of both can
didates. And in the lower grades, hands
were going up in all directions. Teach
er. will we elect the PRESIDENT" How
do you spell Mr. Hughes name?"
"yVhen will we know who is Presi-
dent?" and numberless like questions.
Both teachers and the school princi-
pals were very kind in lending their
assistance to the man who was getting
the vote, and the results pretty plainly
show the general feeling in this city
with regard to the election. There is
little doubt that if it were possible for
q vote of all the schools all over the ma
ton their total result would tally very
closely with that of the regular Presi-
dental. If anyone thinks the children
are not interested in politics, it is only
necessary for him to question them
about it to find that many of them are
very we'll informed along general lines,
having picked up a lot of the rudl-
ments from their parents and from
other folks in conversation. And 1T is
a fine thing that this is so, for it will
only be a little while when these pu-
pills will constitute the veters of the
nation, the people who hold the reins.
and the candidates themselves.

Tuesday was a very quiet election day
in the city. There was no united effort
made by either party to get out the vote
in any one ward and the only voters
hauled to the polls were those who were
lucky enough to be overtaken by some
friend when they were on the way. The
members Of both parties felt that the
vote would come out without any work
on their part and that there was no
question about the State of Maine any
way and so it was useless to put any
tins or money into the proceedings. AL
though it was very quiet there was 4
large number who hung around the polls
in each of the voting places in the city
and some Interesting discussions were
heard.
