er, proprietor of the Piscataguis Ex-
change Hotel, at Greenville Junction,
arrived in Jackman to direct the
search. Someone came forward with
the information that Bartley's auto
mobile had been seen the night he
disappeared standing in the woods
e,siC TWO miles from this little saw
mill village. Henry BARLEY went to
the spot, penetrated 40 feet into the
underground and discovered his
brothers body, lying in shallow,
woodland spring. The motor-car
was found abandoned on the road
leading to Burke's home. There
were bloodstains on the car.
Burke was placed under guard at
his home, but was not arrested.
Later Sheriff Moores stated that as
a result of the autopsy Burke had
been exonerated. Henry BARLEY de-
manded that Burke be arrested. He
charged that Burke's injury was a
self-inf1icted flesh wound. Some days
later the arrest was ordered.
BARLEY was said to have accumu-
lated a fortune of more than 100000
from his hotels and saWmills. Burke
declares that he is innocent. He says
that the last he saw of Barley was
when the latter drew revolver and
shot him, and then drove away Ill mis-
car.
In trying to find motive for the
murder of BARLEY Investigators have
come upon the whisky runners-the
great underground trade of the Dor
der lands. They learned that three
men here formed a whisky pool.
These men brought big lot of whisky
over the international line and hid it
in cache in the woods. One of the
men was sent to Augusta, Waterville
and other. Maine cities to sell the
whisky. The whisky had been bought
for nominal sum in Canada, but
the agent on this side found ready
market for the goods and at high
figure. Returning to Jackman, he
was dismayed to find that every
bottle had been stolen from the
hide" While report does not say
who stole the liquor, BARLEY is men
toned as having befriended the man
who spent a considerable sum OF
money in going to Augusta and
other cities to sell it.

MADE IN SMUGGLING
WHISKY
Maine Murder Mystery Shows Big
Traffic Over the Canadian Line.

Thrilling stories of fortunes won
in a night by whisky runners in the
wilderness of Northern Maine, close
to the Canadian border, are coming
to light following the brutal murder
of Nelson w. BARLEY, politician, finan-
cier, hotel proprietor and sportsman
of this rugged backwoods country.
Although John A. Burke, former
deputy sheriff, was arrested and
charged with the murder of Baruey,
the facts surrounding the case pre-
sent a mystery, and many here be-
lieve that motive for the Staying is
to be found in a feud between inter
national rum runners-a feud as bit
ter and as relentless as any family
war ever waged in tie trackless
mountains of Kentucky.
Jackman Plantation-with its nar-
row winding roads, its vast stretches
of dense forests, its tangled under
growth and it's swiftly running
straams-is a picturesque land that
only comparative few IN the United
States know anything about. with
breeds, woodsmen, trappers, lumber
jacks, adventures, and few sports
men from New York and Boston, its
cosmopolitan population bears
striking resemblance to that OF the
old Alaskan frontier when the race
for Klondike gold was on.
The same lure for money pervades
this North Woods country Stories
of big wagons piled high with whisky
ana drawn by four horses moving
tcautiously from Canada under cover
of darkness are common property
here. With the United States dry"
kliutor bought at low price in Can
ada sells on this side of the line at
a high figure. Farm teams, hiVVers
and larger motor vehicles all have
their places in hte stories. Narrow
escapes from the watchful eyes OF
revenue officers are related. That
the forests along the international
line have many cleverly concealed
caches of whisky and other liquors
lis freely admitted. Some of these
woodland rendezvous are said to hold
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of. "wet
goods
Reports of spy working among
the whisky runners and the theft OF
am 5000 hide" of Canadian whisky
are mentioned as two Of the direct
causes Of the Staying Of BARLEY.
Jackman Plantation is country OF
red-blooded men. Arguments are
settled on the spot with bare fists.
Revolvers are seldom carried. Bart

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most OF them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral waters
and strong cathartics that take too
much water out of the system and ag-
gravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a, gem
tie movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by a
medicine, and their use is not so like
ly to be followed by constipation.

levy for the support o. free fairs, and
TO provide for the control Of eNpen-
ditures after the levy has been made
should find ready support in the next
legislature. The act would not require
any community to hold a fair until il
is ready to do SO. It would not require
the quorum court to make a levy
until the people want ii made. But
the act would make it possible for any
county to have these things and enjoy
their benefits as soon as the people
want them. We may safely predict
that such an act would be welcomed
by many communities and if passed
by the legislature would accomplish
much good.

WHY NOT FREE FAIRS
FINANCED BY COUNTY?
By MARTIN NELSON
university of Arkansas.

university OF Arkansas.
The so-called free fair" is an old
and well tried institution placed upon
a new footing. This new footing is
realized by placing the county be-
hind its fair, thereby insuring the per-
manency of the fair and relieving the
board of directors of the most burden.
ONE part of its work, namely, the
raising of funds to meet all expenses.
The burden of financing the fair is a
heavy one. 1t usually developes up
on q few men to bear the whole re-
sponsibility. So long as their cour-
age lasts, so long a they find it pos
sible to make great personal sacrifices
of time and energy, the fair will con-
tinue. When such sacrifices are no
longer possible the fair is at an end.
To be sure the public wants the fair
but the public always depends upon
q few leaders to make things 60.
Many a county community that could
well afford to support fair has none,
for lack of leaders who are willing to
make the necessary sacrifice for the
benefit of the community. Simpliti-
cation of the financing of the fair is
very much needed. The supervisory
board should be relieved of its burden
and the fair should be put on perma-
nent footing.
There is another very great advan-
tage OF having free fairs" namely
large attendance. The gate fee,
though moderate, will keep hundreds
and probably thousands of persons
away. A fair may be ever so good
and be of little value to the county
if not well attended, Under the pres
ent system the Board Of Directors is
always nervously anxious to see a
large crowd in attendance because
the gate receipts are necessary to
the financial success of the fair, We
are assured that free fairs are very
largely attended and most gratifying
results are realized. The inspiration
and stimulus to agriculture and busi-
ness coming from well managed and
well attended fairs can hardly be over
estimated. You will invariably find
enterprise, progress and development
along all lines and you will find every
thing upon a higher plane in commun'
tiles where fairs have served to edu'
cate and inspire.
After the Board of Directors has
done its part it remains to get a good
attendance in order to accomplish the
greatest amount Of good, and this is
possible through free admittance II

Arkansas should be ready for pro
gressive step in this direction She
needs il. She needs to bring her own
