A. B. CALDEN COMMITS
SUICIDE At MADISON
Had jus: Resumed Business Opera.
ti0ns There After Locations Else
where

Residents Of both Sko@hegan and
Madison were shocked Friday to learn
Of the suicide of Arthur B. Calden at
Madison, where he had opened
bakery earlier in the week. His
body was discovered in the cellar of
his place of business hanging by a
rope while the front of his clothes
were covered with blood as the re-
suit of his having shot himself in the
mouth Life had apparently been
extinct for several hours The I'M
pleasant spectacle was first witness
ed by Mrs. Calden and Guy W. Lam
bert, the latter's aid having been OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Calden when she made
the second attempt to gain admit
lance to the building
A letter directed to his wife was
found in the dead mans pockets,
which it is understood stated there
was nothing lacking in his domestic
happiness. but that he was tired and
did not seem to have the ambition to
carry on his business. He denied
that he was insane and indications
about the bakery suggested that the
act was due to a sudden impulse
rather than premediated, as a quanti-
ty of flour was all sifted preparatory
to making some bread
Mr.. Calden had been twice married,
and besides the widow, formerly Mrs.
Mabel Grover Pollard of Skowhegan,
he leaves son - years old and an
aged mother His age was about 43
years and he had been in business at
Madison various times prior to this
last venture.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS IN MAINE
Republican State Convention, March
23rd

The New Year started in with big
bang so far as politics in Maine is
concerned. The half score, more or
less, of patriots who early last sum
mer admitted that they were just the
men that Maine needed for governor
had been sort of treading water and
watching each other.
To be sure the Hon. Carl Milliken,
an ex-president of the Senate had not
declined any of the invitations to
speak and let the people hear him and
look him over in the small towns all
over the State; and the other aspir-
ants did not declare a truce pending
the settlement as to whether Mr..
Chaplin or Colonel Parkhurst should
be Penobscot County's candidate. In
fact all of the candidates for the Re-
publican nomination were undoubted-
ly patiently digging post holes for
their political fences, but they were
making no noise about it.
Last week, however, things began
to hum Immediately after the an
nouncement that the Republican
State Convention would be held in
Portland on the 23rd of March. Mr..
Arthur Chaplin had already with
drawn his name as a candidate for
governor, and left Colonel Frederick
H. Parkhurst and his friends all over
the State free to strike right out from
the shoulder for his candidacy.
On top of all this came the big love
feast at Bangor, whereat Penobscot
County and its Republican County
committee came out with the strong
est political endorsement for Colonel

FALL OPENINGS.
Splendid Showing Of Seasonable
ADDarel for Ladies' and Gents.

We call special attention to the
advertisements in this paper an
nouncing the fall showing of milli-
merry, ladies' and misses ready-to.
wear garments, dress goods and
shoes. We don't hesitate in saying
that mems clothing, hats and fur
nishings will also form great part
of the fall and winter apparel that
will be shown at the leading dry
goods stores here next week, al
though only those things which are
of special interest to the ladies are
mentioned in these ads.
We have been through their big
stores, however, and we know they
have the goods not only for our
wives, daughters and sweethearts,
but the mere men," as well. and
these goods are up-to-date, too, with
prices. the most important factor in
our buying. astonishingly low COM
pared with the prices quoted in the
advertisements carried by the big
city new spapers. 1t may be re-
membered that our merchants do
not have to pay the heavy expenses
that the big city fellows do, which
they add to the selling cost of their
goods.
Note the advertisements of S
Marcus, the Silverman Department
Store and the Kingstree Dry Gouds
Company.

FALL SESSION BEGAN MONDAY.
Interesting Exercises Held in
School Auditorium.

The fall session of Kingstree High
and Graded school opened Monday
morning under highly favorable con-
litions. A teachers meeting, at
which full corps was present, was
held at the school building Saturday,
when programme for the opening
dav was arranged.
The exercises incident to the open
ing of the 1867 session took place
in the auditorium at 9 o'clock and
were attended by large represent
alton of parents and others inter-
ested in the welfare of the institu-
ton. The enrolment of pupils in all
grades numbered 211, an increase
over previous years on the opening
day.
The exercises. presided over by
by Superintendent Swittenberg, con-
sisted of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic, and short addresses by the clergy
of the town.
Rev P S McChesney read selec-
ton from the seventh chapter of st
Matthew, followed by fervent
prayer by Rev A E Riemer. who, al
ter the singing of hymn, spoke in
terestingly to the pupils and teach
ers. Rev J 3 Wilson's remarks were
addressed chiefly to parents. Mr. J
R Walker of the Episcopal church
gave a talk to the Boy Scouts.
Mr. Swittenberg was pleased to
see so many parents and pupils pres
ent and gave cordial invitation to
the former to visit the school at any
time. while he urged the latter to
attend school regularly and stressed
the Importance of punctuality.
At the close of the exercises in the
auditorium the pupils and teachers
marched to their respective class
rooms, where the real work of what
promises to be the best session in
the schools history was taken up.
Mr. Jas Anderson. the new principal,

Band ReOrganiZed.

The Kingstree cornet band has
been revived. A reorganization was
recently effected and the members,
old and new, have started in to make
a success of the organization if such
is possible in Kingstree. Practice
meetings are being held in the old
Masonic lodge room over the express
company's office every Wednesday
night. We trust the people of the
town will give the band every en-
couragement possible, for there is no
denying the fact that band Is a
valuable asset to any town.
