Wherein Is One of the Many Privats
Panics Which Followed the Bursting
If the Bubble Of Speculation.

Ct the 6uDDie OF SpcculSttoh.
Samson and Harry saw the bursting
of the great bubble Of 81. Late that
night, Disaster, loathsome and thou
sand-legged, crept into the little city.
It came on q steamer from the East
and fastened from home to home,
from tavern to tavern. Great banks
had suspended payment; New York
had suffered a panic; many large bust
ness enterprises in the East had
failed; certain agents for the bonds
of Illinois had absconded with the
states money; in the big cities there
had been an ominOus closing of doors
and turning of locks; a great army
Of men were out of employment. The
little city was in frenzy Of excitement
The streets were filed with shout

had shrunk to nothing and less than

were offered for a 1.-THE Of what their

Miss Goodrich
To Give March
And a Waltz

Irene Goodrich will present two
new dances at the Military Festival
on Thursday evening. The first.
on one of the open air dancing
floors at 9 O'Clock and the sec
ond, which she has named the
Maine National Guard Waltz, will
be presented at 9.45. Everyone on the
grounds will have an opportunity to
see them.
1t is certai that the skilful young
woman will be the center of
much attention, not only because
of the dances, but because of
her costumes. The first will be
a full military uniform. over
seas cap, spiral puts. and all, while
the second will be a delicious red,
white and blue creation.
So great is the interest that has
been aroused over the festival. not
only because of the things to be en-
joyed but because of it's worthy pur-
pose-to provide company funds for
the two local military organizations
that the grounds at Capital Park are
sure to be damned with people,
The privilege tickets, which admit
to the grounds, the dance floors and
the war exhibits tent without further
charge, have been eagerly sought.
None of them will be on sale at the
gate but they may be purchased from
members of Co. F and the State
Quartermaster corps, at Goodrich
Red Cross Pharmacy, Beane and
Cross and Quinn's drugstore in Hall
DWELL.
To those who do not hold a privi-
lege ticket, a nominal admission fee
will be charged at the gate. The tick
ct received will be retained and will
be good for its face value inside the
grounds except for refreshments.
Tickets for the dancing will be on sale
at the floor and one ticket will admit
one couple for one dance. the music
for which will be furnished by the
Douglas Melody Men.
Tonight, the members of the two
military companies will be busily en-
gagged in preparing the grounds for
the big display and pleasure events
on Thursday. Tents, booth and dance
floors will be prepared 80 that as soon
after supper as one cares to come on
Thursday, he will find the Festival in
full swing.-Adv.

ST ATE HOUSE
meeting Friday July A.


The office force at the Department
OF Inland Fisheries and Game were
all shocked Tuesday morning by a
telephone message giving word of
the accidental drowning of Arthur
Deag of Dover, a young man in the
employ of the department as ward
en-. The message came from Chief
Fire Warden Thomas Griffin of Mil
linocket and said in substance:
Young Deag and Willis G. Parsons,
a son of Commissioner Willis +.
Parsons of Dover, were going down
the West Branch of the Penobscot
river in n canoe andI at about o
cleclZ Tuesday morning when at
PoCHvoCkamus about a mile and
half above Pitman's camps Ikatah-
din View Camps) the canoe was cap
sized in the rapids.
Young Parsons was able to reach
shore in safety, but Deag disappear
ed and has not since been seen. Par
ties from Pitman's camps searched
for hours and communication was
had by the department with Nor
cross and Ripogenus Dam, but moth
ing had been seen or heard of Deag.
Arrangements have been made
with the Great Northern Paper Go.
to close the gates so that with the
falling water further search may be
made.
A possible chance exists that
Deag was carried down stream so
far that when he was able to climb
the bank he was a long distance
away and may be safe, but the pros
pect is small for his having been
saved.
