Indications are that there Is to be
a good representative attendance to
the Sind annual convention Of the
Maine Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union which opens at Pressure
Isle this Wednesday morning at the
state Street Baptist church.
The most important action taken
by the Bangor City Council at its
meeting Monday evening was IN
reference to the attempted rebuild
ing of the Aroostook House on
Washington street with wooden ma
terials expressly contrary TO the
terms of the permit granted by the
board of municipal officers. 1t was
ordered that work cease there ana
unless the owner complies with
orders, the city will destroy the re-
mains Of the structure. The reports
of the building inspector and fire
chief that the building was more
than so per cent destroyed in the
fire of some weeks ago were accept
ed. City Solicitor Gerard p. Collins
made a report on the legal aspect of
the case and the order mentioned
was passed.
People of Milo experienced a wave
of just indignation Saturday. when
it became noised about that the
bodies of the two valuable dogs be-
longing to Dr. Mcleod and Jud
Mason had been found a few rods
from a roadway leading into the
bushes short ways above Atco
lon n
discovered them and notified the
doctor. The bodies were in separate
sacks such as the Thread company
delivers wood in and it was evil
dent that both animals had been
poisoned. Nothing seems too bad
to be said about a person who would
do such dastardly thing, asserts
the Milo correspondent of the Ban
! gor News. 1t is a states prison Of
fence and a similar case Is being
dealt with in Bangor.
| In regard to the request Of In
| spector C. o. Brown Of the State
| department Of agriculture that the
State stipend of $500 to the Maine
State Fair at Lewiston this year be
withheld on account of a girl show
conducted on the ground, the Of
! ficials of the fair allege that no
trouble has been reported to them
relative to the shows given by the
| same carnival company in other sec
tons of the State. AS a matter of
fact, at the Central Maine Fair at
Waterville, the week prior. this same
girl show was ordered closed Sept.
by Inspector Brown for the reason
as given that it was more sug-
gestive than artistic. this act of the
| inspector having been reported in

events of the fair
Mrs. Maude A. Gallagher, who is
also known as Mrs. Winslow

nicipal court on the charge of

+ was arrested a week ago, offered no

stigation of Mr.. Moulton. a farm
er. to whom she was married last
october at kittery Point The

was performed by Rev. w. William
Mcnamara. Mrs. Gallagher was

Something went amiss in the
plans Of the Rockland police Of
fcials in apprehending a supposed
rum runner Sunday evening. Word
| was telephoned to Bath that car
bearing a certain Maine license was
headed toward the ferry and con-
tanned liquor. Several Bath officers
| were at the ferry when the $50
| boat pulled into dock and the last
car off bore the plate they were look
| ing for. The officer commanded the
driver to stop but was surprised to
| find the car was that of we'll
known Bath man. 1t turned out
| that the Bath car was one of a
party returning from Bangor and
the suspected car had gotten in line
with the Bath party coming through
Rockland, thus the mistake. 1t was
thought that the bootleggers took
the Augusta route on the other side
of the river.
