celebrate his END birthday. The af-
fair has been planned up by the
members Of his church and Mr.. Cool
broth had no inkling of it whatever,
so that when the crowd came in upon
him in body he was completely
taken back. But he soon recovered
himself when someone reminded him
that it was his birthday.
n short program was carried ont
consisting of eradings and music at
ter which Mr.. Coolbroth was pre-
scented with birthday cake bearing
Y candles. But the feature of the
evening was when r. II. Rose

ingly of the work done by Mr.. Cool
broth during his long pastorate here
and as n token of the love and es-
TEEN in which he Is held by his par
ishioners presented him with a purse
of gold representing one dollar for

TO find AOT0IST
IN COTE DEATH

Just week ago last night Phildora
Cote, 10 years old. was struck down
by a speeding automobile on the Oak
land road a few hundred feet beyond
the Emerson memorial bridge and
hurled so feet to her death but the
driver of the car is still at large. For
3 week police authorities. members of
the state highway police department.
County Attorney Walter Sanborn and
Sheriff Henry Cummings have been
investigating the case but as yet no
arrests have been made. From what
officials say clues have brought sus-
picion nearer and nearer to definite
point and by working carefully many
things have been found out that ulti-
mately may lead to the capture of the
guilty person.
Citizens of waterville are highly in
dignant over the terrible outrage and
interest is being shown everywhere in
the case. In the south end of the city
where the little girl lived the princi-
pie topic Of conversation has been
when is the murderer going to be
captured.
In the little home Of the child on
Green street the mother and father,
.. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Cote are waiting
with tense anxiety the outcome of the
investigation and yesterday afternoon
they assured the Journal reporter that
| they were sure the authorities would
not give up until the man is behind
the bars.
Edwin NJ. Foster. president of the
Waterville- Winslow Chamber of Com
merce declared yesterday afternoon
that he would suggest to the directors
at a meeting. this afternoon that the
Chamber head list of subscriptions
toward a reward fund to be offered for
the arrest and conviction of the one
who committed the crime. 1t is un-
derstood that County Attorney San
born is heartily in favor of having a
reward offered as he believes that 1t
will excite even more interest and may
lead to the capture.
The tragedy occurred soon after

around the curve down over the Mill

happened the child was hurled so feet

classed as a part Of the Democratic

Democratic leaders countered with
a claim that Davis not only would
hold the south and the border states,
but would profit by Republican local
quarrels and capture enough elector-
al votes in the west and pivotal
states of the east to put him into the
white house. ...

There was the same conflict of
predictions as to the political COM

four OF the ninety-six seats are TO be
