Feb. 5.—Bobbers, early today, blew the safe of the Bank of Clarksville with dynamite, secured a sum estimated at $6mj0. killed John Powers, sheriff of Johnson county, who attempted to capture them, and es caped before the citizens were aware :>f their presence. Apparently there were from four to six men in the gang. They tied their horses in the outskirts of the town and made their way unobserved to the bank, which is on the north side of a public square. After saining entrance they destroyed the safe with dynamite, secured ail the money available and made their way to the street. There they were confronted by Sheriff Pow ers. who opened tire upon them. The robbers returned the fire, using both revolvers and Winchesters. Powers stood his ground and emptied two revolvers before he was killed. When citizens arrived upon the scene a little later, Powers was dead and there was no trace of the robbers ex cept a trail of blood that indicated that tne sheriff had wounded one or perhaps more of his assailants. Powers roomed on the second floor of an adjoining building and had been awakened by the explosion. The bank officials were unable to give the actual amount of plunder secured, but. stated thaf the hank was insured against loss. All adjoining towns have been telegraphed to be on the lookout for the robbers. Powers has been sheriff of Johnson county for 12 years and was known to be a fearless man and a crack shot. Clarksville is a town of 1S00 popula tion, 60 miles east of Fort Smith. GAGGED THE WATCHMAN. Robbers Take $2500 from an Office at Elizabethport, N. J. Elizabethport, N. J.. Feb. 5.—About 2 ot’cloek. Wednesday morning, four masked men entered the office of Geo. if ill of this place, who is constructing car shops for the Central Railroad near the Singer Setting Machine works, and after tying and gagging the watchman carried off *2500 in money. The robbers after gagging and bind ing the watchman struck him over the head with a piece of iron because he was trying to free himself from his bonds.

Senate Passes Urgent Defi i ciency Appropriation Bill. Macumber Makes Extended Speech ir, Defence of Judge Noyes, Vote on the Oleo Bill Will Be Reached. i Late Friday. Washington, Feb. 5.—Throughout to day's session, the Senate hail under consideration the urgent deficiency ap pi ofiriation bill, and just before ad journment passed it substantially in the shape in which it was reported to the Senate by the committee. During the early part of the session the ease of Judge Arthur H. Noyes 'of the district court of Alaska and Alex ander McKenzie and others, were dis cussed. McCumber of North Dakota, deliv ered an elaborate speech in defence of Judge Noyes and McKenzie. Incident ally he criticized the circuit court of appeals of San Francisco for permit ting itself to be influenced by preju dice and bias. He became involved in a colloquy with Tillman, who said he appeared in the novel attitude of a de fender of the United States judiciary. The South Carolina senator had inti mated that he would deliver a speech on the Noyes case, hut at the conclu sion of McCumber's speech be content ed himself practically with putting into the Congressional Record the de cision of the supreme court of appeals of San Francisco in the case of eon empt against Noyes and McKenzie. In a brief speech Stewart reviewed the case, speaking strongly against Judge Noyes and his actions in Alaska. At the conclusion of routine business in the Senate, consideration was re sumed of the urgent deficiency appro priation bill. Hale, in charge of the measure, made an appeal to the Senate to permit the bill to come to a vote. He hoped the “scandal in Alaska" would not be per mitted to interfere with the progress of the measure. McCumber, North Dak., said he had no desire to prolong the discussion, but morn villainous charges had been made against men—charges which he person ally knew to be unfounded and absolu tely false. He declared that certain mining syndicates had desired to ob tain control of the whole Nome coun try. Referring to the opening of the cir cuit court of appeals McCumber as serted that four-fifths of it was devoted to the discussion of an alleged attempt ed conspiracy between Judge Noyes and McKenzie, the greater portion of the Information concerning which came from San Francisco newspapers. He insisted that no man could conceive of a more heinous judgment than this. The parties were not convicted of con spiracy, but of contempt. The members of the court of appeals for the ninth circuit he said, might be honorable men, but he was obliged to judge them by their acts. That court had convicted Judge Noyes while he was 2000 miles away and had arraigned him in most remarkable language with out an opportunity of a hearing. Reverting to the situation as Judge Noyes found it in Alaska. McCumber declared that the mining syndicates had made every effort to bribe him, $20,000 being offered to him in one sum. Finding it Impossible to bribe him, the syndicate hired. McCumber asserted, a man to make a perjured affidavit, that Judge Noyes had accepted a bribe. These facts, he said, had been reported to the attorney general of the United States, and for reporting these matters to tin- department of justice. Mr. Frist, iie said, had been sentenced to prison for one year because his work had come in conflict with the circuit court of appeals. That he said, was the real reason for Frist's conviction. He sim ply would not be a creature of the syndicate. McCumber read flic orders issued by Judge Noyes, known as statu orders— upon which, he said, the Judge had been convicted of rontempt. Why. he asked, was Frost sent to prison and Judge Noyes only fined if both were guilty of conspiracy. He opined that it was because Judge Noyes' character would be sufficiently blackened by a fine, and then, too. out of prison he could not be reached by a writ of ha beas corpus. He referred to what, to htr mind, was appalling corruption in Alaska. i illmun. S. interrupted to inquire whether McCumber did not think he owed it to the Senate to give it all the facts concerning the "damnable cor ceuption" of certain United States courts, to which he had referred. Mc Cumber replied that he had not ac cused the members of the San Fran cisco circuit court of appeals of any thing worse than prejudice and bias. He urged that he had proved this prej udice from the record. McC’umber denounced the decision of the court of appeals as 48 pages of seg regation of testimony out of 3000 pages of closely printed matter. The con clusions of the court, he said, wer» based for the most part upon evidence which the senator from South Caro lina (Tillman) would not give the least credence to. He asserted that Tillman had cast serious aspersions upon a man as honorable as he was—a man whom the South Carolina senator might meet outside the chamber and there, if he saw fit,, call the vile names he had ap plied to him. Tillman disclaimed any intention to reliect Improperly upon anybody, his remarks, he said, being directed at the department of Justice, particularly for not doing Its duty in promptly Invest! gating and acting upon such a scandal ts had developed in this case, whoever were the guilty parties. He insisted (Continued on page 3.) Special Sale on Hats.

The list of injured might be extend ed to 75 or ICO. as there were many peo ple in the neighborhood who sustained slight injuries from living glass or slight bruises caused by rails, but whose names have not been reported. Only one of the bodies of the dead— that of little Lena Trostel—has been recovered. All that it known of the fate of the other 12 reported dead, is that they are thought to have been— the most of them are known to have j been in the demolished bouses and since the explosion no trace of them has been found.

The cause of the explosion is tut- I known and it has not yet been deter mined whether it was sewer gas or il luminating gas. Mains filled with the latter were Instantly ablaze after the explosion and n succession of explo sions followed, the names shooting up through the manholes in the streets. Then the manhole half a block south on Archer avenue, was thrown into the air by a loud explosion. Flames leaped and roared from the hole. The lire spread below the street and small man holes were blown into the atr. The flames from the first gas main shot high Into the air and reached, with the aid of the wind, the Trostie butcher shop. The building was a three-story frame structure and it had been weak ened and nearly wrecked bv the shock. It is supposed that the occupants of Un building ded with each other In declaring tic Dutch action to be undesired.

Germany Making Great Bid for Our Friendship. s Flatly Asserts T hat She Alone Stopped European Intervention During Spanish-American War—Lon don as Promptly Denies It. Birlin, Feb. 5.—Xh& German foreign ollieo confirms the substantial accuracy of the subjoined statement on the sub ject of Germany's course towards the United States, during the war with Spain, which the Kreuz Zeitung prints, today. The correspondent of The As sociated Press understands that the ar ticle wau prepared by Prof. Schiemann, Berlin University. He says: “Almost exactly four years ago the Spanish ambassador here asked Ger many whether Germany would lead in action against the United States for the protection of the monarchic prin ciple. The answer was a definite re tina 1 and the same answer was given a month later, about the middle of March, when the invitation reached Germany to participate in the inter vention undertaken upon the initiative of Austria. This was in the weeks fol lowing the catastrophe, when it was believed intervention would facilitate .'ii understanding between the United States and Spain. Nevertheless our government commissioned Herr Von Itadowitz, the German ambassador to Spain, to inform the Madrid govern ment that Germany was not in a posi tion to prevent the Spanish-Ameriean ’Sar." After that several attempts were made to win Germany or the Driebund lor intervention, in which the Pope was especially active. The final result was that Dr. Von Hollebcn (German am bassador at Washington) was instruct ed to join in the step proposed by Aus tria only in case all the other five great powers participated. "We are unable to state the details of how the united action came about. At any late, the collective note was handed to the officials at'Washington, April 7, advising a peaceable settle ment and was signed by Ungland, Franco, Italy, Austria, Russia and Ger many. It is believed for a week that war would be averted, General Blanco received orders from Madrid to offer the Cuban insurgents an armistice, for Spain was resolved to give them far reaching autonomy and to arrive at a settlement of the Maine question through arbitration. Diplomatic cir cles. however, entertained no illusions and when England, April 14, through her ambassador, proposed a new col lective note, in which the powers should declare Europe regarded America's armed intervention into Cuba as un justifiable, the other ambassadors tele graphed to their home governments asking for instructions. The step failed through Germany's positive refusal. This gives, as it appears to us, a pic ture essentially different from the Eng lish legend. A fortnight later war was declared. “Afterwards, in June and July, while the United States was making great progress in the Philippines, England actively tried to induce the Spaniard's •ommission in England to ask for peace proposals, for to no power was the American encroachment in the Pa cific more annoying than to England. “The above is the historical connec tion of events. We hope in giving the same, we may have thoroughly exposed th" absurdity of the English legend." Prompt Denial from England. London, Feb. 6.—The Associated Press lias the highest official authority for denying the story printed by the Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin, today, as to the part said to have been taken by Lord I’anneefote, the British ambassa dor at Washington, in the Spanish American war intervention, in spite of the confirmation of the story by the German foreign ollke. SECRET DISPATCHES From Spain During War Giving New Light on Her Attitude. New York, Feb. 5.—The Associated Press has be’en put in possession of tin' following dispatches which have never been heretofore published, and which are unquestionably authentic. They comprise the circular telegram of the Spanish government to the representa tatlves at several of the European courts and excerpts from the replies: "The Minister of State.

As to the purchase, the thing never was in the remotest way /sug gested to me by the administration.” ENGLAND AND CHINA. ^Believed to Be in Line with Russia to Boom the Country. London, Feb. i;._The correspondent of tin- Daily Mail at St. Petersburg says in a dispatch he beli* ves that important de velopments are pending in northern Chi na. that Great ilritain has taken a strong line with resport lo the Manchurian con vention and that Russia and Great liri tain are likely to arrive at a sort of self-denying ordinance to foster the com merce of northern China lo the exclu sion of ruinous military rivalry. Nothing is yet definitely derided, says the correspondent, but it is known that Great Britain intends strong efforts to foster and protect her Chinese trade. According to the Calcutta correspondent of the London Daily Mail, the British government has decided to abandon its intention of fortifying or garrisoning the colony of Wei Hai Wei, China, will with draw all Its troops from tin place and will transfer its control to the civil au thorities. It seem doubtful even, contin ues the correspondent, if the colony wilt pc retained, its position is useless from a military point of view except by enor mous expenditures, and it is undoubted ly a "white elephant.” The annealing shop of the Fore River Ship and Engine Co. at Quincy. Mass., was destroyed by fire, early Thursday morning, causing a loss of fully $20,000 and throwing about 30 hands tempora rily out of employement. AN EXTRA SESSION Of Minnesota Legislature to Consider Taxes and Railroad Merger. St. j’aul, Minn.. Feb. 15.—At 10.30 o’clock, before the session of the Legislature, which had been assembled in extra session to receive the report of the tax commission and the meas ures presented by that body for enact ment, Gov. A an Sant, today, read his message. The principal portion was deVoted to the recommendation of the commission to which he made some amendments covering points which were suggested by the commission but not approved by him. After reciting the occasion for the extra session to be the desire j to secure a revision of the somewhat mixed tax laws of the state he urged that immediate uction on the matter be taken looking to the passage of laws amendments as may be deemed wise. He argued against and discrimination in the laws, especially speaking against any laws that might make the poor bear an unequal share of the burdens of taxation. He particularly endorsed the suggestion of a permanent tax com mission, opposed any reduction in the amount of property exempted from taxation, suggested that the grain tax be made to agree with those of neigh boring states, urged protection of ves sel interests at the head of lakes, and then leaves the entire matter with the Legislature. The only other subject is the so-called railroad merger, of which he says: “At this time I desire to inform the Legislature of the suit brought by the state of Minnesota against the Northern Securities Co. of New Jersey. Believing that this corporation was or ganized for the purpose of evading and violating the laws of Minnesota by con solidating the properties of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Cos., which companies run parallel and com petiting lines of railway within the state, X requested Attorney General Douglass to bring suit in the name of the state to prevent such consolida tion." He then quotes from the statutes cov ering the case and continued: “That the Northern Securities Co., can, and if not prevented by the courts, will merge or consolidate the lines and the property of the two railroad com panies under one management is evi denced by reference to Sections 3 and 4 of the articles of incorporation of the Northern Securities Co. "Those powers are broad as language can make them and authorize the Northern Securities Co., not only to vote the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Cos. and thus ex ercise all the powers and privileges of ownership and control, but specifically empowers the corporation to do any acts to enohance the value of the stock of the companies, which, of course in cludes the right to increase freight rates. The governor then read the resolu tions adopted at. the governor's confer ence at Helena. He recited the argu ment before the United States supreme court on Jan. 27 and added: “What the final decision will be it is difficult to foretell, but it does not seem possible that a New Jersey corporation, no matter what its capitalization, will be permitted to violate the laws of the sovereign state of Minnesota. If the final decision should be against the state the battle is not then lost, there is one remedy that ne\ er fails and which is more supreme even than the supreme court's. "I quote the words of Judge Brewer i in an address made at the bi-centennial of Yale College in which he said in speaking of trusts and the inability of courts to crush them: ‘Appeal must be taken to the great court of public opin ion whose decrees are irresistible. In that court every man is counsel and every man is judge.’ “If during your session any further legislation should be needed, I will im mediately communicate that fact to you. I would suggest that a sufficient sum of money be placed at the disposal of the legal departments to employ as sociate counsel to properly continue the litigation and meet the expenses necessary connected therewith." MISS SHAW’S DEATH. Christian Science Treatment Being Looked Into by Coroner’s Jury. Portsmouth, N. H., Feb. 5.—An In quest into the death of Miss Hannah Shaw, who died from double pneu monia, Monday night, having been at tended in her illness by Miss Ada uld receive due consideration from the committee of nations. But when the present strain had passed away, con tinued the speaker, there would still remain duties which could not be shirked. The existence of hostile feel in« in Ireland was a signal that the efforts, upon which depend in no light degree the glory and continuance of the empire, must not be relaxed. "The maintenance of our positin in Ireland is the most vital object the empire has, and it can only be attained by strenuous exertions," said the pre mier. The premier asked if the Irish p nple loved the government better than they did formerly, and replied himself that they did not. He said that the feelings of hostility which had been expressed were more uncompromising than any expressions which had ever issued from the lips of Parnell or O'Connell. Ar. Irish government, with power to accumulate arms and ammunition, would constitute a more serious threat than had the Boers. Whilst the ortho dox leader of the Liberal party had de clared himself in favor of home rule, said the speaker, the semi-orthodox leader of that party, whose utterances were harder to interpret, while he had not pledged himself to home rule, had studiously avoided any pledge from which the contrary might be inferred. The premier concluded with saying that the conspicuous duty of the Union ists was to maintain a permanent junc tion between England and Ireland and that it was by sustaining this junction ihet they would maintain the greatness of the constitution and the splendor of the British empire.

Boston, Feb. 5.—The growing fear that the determination of members of the Freight Handlers Union employed at No. 7 house of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad Co. to load no more freight upon the trucks of the Brine Transportation Co. would lead to a general sympathetic strike among the various unions represented in the Allied Freight Transportation Council, has been dispelled, at least temporarily. The freight handlers held a lively meeting, at which the strike spirit was proved to be strong, but the strike com mittee of the Allied Council succeeded after a long argument in persuading them that a strike at the present time, while the injunction case is undecided in court, would be ill advised. The employes of the various brewer ies of the city, including engineers and firemen as well as other workmen, met, tonight, and voted to come to the as sistence of the Team Drivers Union by refusing to handle all merchandise hauled by the Brine Co’s teams. As on yesterday the freight handlers at No. 7 house of the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad, today, ad solutely refused to assist in loading the Urine Co's, drays when requested by their superiors and the Brine drivers were forced to load and unload their teams as best they could. The hearing on the injunction case in the superior court still continues. A REAL YALE BATTLE. Seniors and Freshmen Come Together With Blood in Their Eyes. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 5.—A series of interclass frolics, beginning Friday night between seniors and freshmen in Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Uni versity, ulminated, early this morn ing, in a conflict. On Friday night, seniors in the Scien tific school indulged in "horse play” at the expense of some freshmen. The next night the freshmen retaliated with interest and the seniors let it become noised about that on Tuesday night they proposed to make the freshmen apologize. The latter prepared for trouble and when the seniors rushed to the room of a prominent freshman they were met and outnumbered two to one. The upper classmen were forced to retreat. The freshmen followed and on the street a rush began. The rush de veloped into a fight and for 30 minutes the fighting was fast and furious. Some blood was spilled, clothing was torn and there were many black eyes given and taken. So far the university authorities have taken no action. Owen E. Green, aged 22, the Grand Trunk employee who fell through a "roof window” in the Grand Trunk machine shops at Gorham, N. H., and fell on a screw press 27 feet below, is recovering from the terrible shock he sustained. His left arm was broken at the elbow.

London, Feb. 5.—The perennial de ceased wife’s sister bill, which has been before Parliament for the last half cen tury. reappeared, today, in a form Iden tical with that of last year. On 14 occasions the House of Commons has affirmed the principles of the bill, which, however, alwayp met with in surmountable obstruction generally from the bishops, before being defeated. The loyalty of the colonies during the South African war Is advanced as an additional reason for the removal of the injustice which the present law inflicts on a large number of children who are the fruit of colonial marriages. The House voted in favor of the sec ond reading of the bill. The vote stood 249 ayes to 124 noes. NEWS NUGGETS. Bmwkt by the Wires from the Horth. East. Sooth onA West. The trial of Albert T.

The building which Is a commodious five-story brick structure, was recently erected at a cost of $150,000. It had not been com pleted but the contractor expected to finish the work in a few weeks. The fire originated from an unknown cause, although it is believed it was due to steam pipes, for there was steam in the building supplied by furnaces In the basement. The discovery has been made at Cheyenne. Wyo., that every law enact ed by the last Legislature which met a year ago is invalid for the reason that the bills were not read and properly re corded in the lower House. Among the laws passed and whose validity is now questioned, were the apportionment act. the new jury law, and an act licens ing gambling. The matter probably will bo referred to the state supreme court, but possibly the tangle can only be straightened out by an extra ses sion of the Legislature. Gov.

A New Discovery Which Cures all Forms cf Catarrh. The tablet is the ideal form in which to administer medicine, but until re cently no successful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an excellent and pala table remedy for catarrh in tablet fotm, known as Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets and sold by druggists, composed of the most recent discoveries In medi cine for cure of catarrh and results from their use have been highly grati fying. The old time treatment of catarrh v.'as in the form of inhalers, washes, douches, sprays, etc. Later on inter nal remedies were used with greater success, but being in liquid or powder form were inconvenient to use and like all medicines in liquid or powder form, lose their medicinal properties when opened or exposed to the air. Stuart's Catarrli Tablets contain highly concentrated antiseptics. Red Oum. Blood Root, etc., which kill the catarrh germs in the blood and mucous membrane, and in this respect are strictly scientific and modern, because till authorities are now agreed that catarrh is a constitutional blood dis ease, and local applications can have only a transitory effect. The use of Inhalers, douches and sprays is a nuisance and Inconvenience and can in tt wise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given in tablet form internally, where they can re.T-h the stomach and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produced. I ..‘cut Li.V* au« puvm I speaker of Pittsburg says: "I have [been troubled with catarrh of the head and throat Tor twelve years. In this climate it scents impossible to get ri*l of it. The continual dropping of mu jeous from the nose into the throat, I caused Irritation and hoarseness, se I riouslv interfering with my public j speaking. It took nte an hour or more i of coughing, gagging, expectorating und sneering every morning before 1 could settle down to work and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of stomach, causing loss of appetite I jHjof digestion and a foul'breath, which i annhye*l me exceedingly. My physi !chut advised n3,. to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets und I took them for twi months and w»s astonished to find how .tulckly they ,-ieared my head, throat olid stoirach and I have no hesitation lu re* ominending them.

Aroostook County Ships 2,500, 000 Bushels Potatoes. Lalrge Gains lYade Over Shipments of Previous Year. Crop Will Reach Merc Than Four Millions Bushels. These are prosj.erous happy days with the Aroostook potato growers and buyers, for the shipment of the H'01 crop of lube:s out of the county to the markets is going on merrily day after day, while in return the good dollars of the land are pouring into the pockets lot the farmers, traders and the ship j'ers in a way that cannot fall to please a man. The roads from the farms to the railroad stations are lined with teams ik-iivuj loaucu with the potatoes, bound for al! parts of the country. Since in the curly part of last July it lots be. n well known that the crop of 1 991 was tie largest that Aroostook had ever raised and the total number of bushels has been frequently esti mated upon; so frequently that it would he useless to again mention it here, especially as no two of the esti mators have ever agreed. As to the amount of potatoes that will be shipped that is another matter, for the men who make these estimates have some basis to work up. They have some knowledge of the amount that has already been shipped away and also what was shipped in the preeeding year and. so by comparison, they can make a very good estimate of what the shipments will be. The shipping season began on August 1st and from that date to January 31st, inclusive, there was shipped from Bangor Aroostook points 2,590,082 bushels. From August 1st, 1900. to January 31st. 1901. inclusive, there was shipped front the same points 1,603,337 bushels. This shows a gain of 986.715 bushels for the present shipping season to date over the same period of the preeeding -hip>ping season. In the month of January, just closed, tii’re was shippied front these points 523.628 bushels, against 333,179 bushels it. January. 1901. a gain of 190.449 bush els. Even with these latge shipments there is no shortage in the stock in the county and the oldest veteran in the potato raising and shipping business dare not predict what the total output of the crop of 1901. will be, when it is completely figured jpp. The transportation companies, who have carefully canvassed the situation and. undoubtedly understand it much bet ter than ats were engaged in breaking out the river after the big freshet they caine up as far as the Ledges. Then the blizzard came on and they became frightened, turned around and went back down the river. Inside the course they took when they turned around there are about £000 ton-! of good ice. This we shall harvest. “At some of the houses w.e will be obliged to work night crews, because we have to canal in some cases more than a mile. If the weather is yery cold we shall keep going nights and Sundays to prevent the canals from closing up on us. “If we have no delays on account of j weather we ought to till the houses I i have mentioned before the first of March.

This leek of moral courage is ruining many souls and blighting many lives, today. Kvll company kept Agrippa from yielding to his convictions. His most intimate companion was a shame, a disgrace to manhood. His sin and hers held him In a grip of death. There are many in our- city who w uld commence the Christian life at ir.ce, if they could break away from lb* evil influence of their companions. I toll you. tonight, evil associates will ruin the beat man or woman in Au gusta. will drag them down to the very gates of hell. Vou say. I believe in religion, I think t the way to live. I ought to be a Christian. I will be some day, and just so far Agiipp.t went. He would not lot his sins go, lie clung to his sinful •ssoclates ami for want of moral cour age and decision he went to his death. Almost persuaded only emphasizes your guilt. If you know what is right mid refuse to follow it. your guilt is the greater. Almost persuaded is to be lost in sight of home. A man undertakes to Jump aeross a chasm and falls by half a foot. Only six Inches, he was almost across, hut almost was not enough. If. tonight, you are almost persuaded, you are still unsaved. If you would have life, today, tomor row, forever, you must decide for Christ and declare your intention. At the after meeting Rev. R. P. Hope made an inspiring talk. Mr. Hope will speak, this evening, at the opening meeting. PERSONAL MENTION, M. S. Holway, Esq., is in Roston on i business trip of a few days. Deputy Sheriff F. J.

Second Evening of Canton Fair Eclipses First. Last Evening’s Attendance Brings Up Total to 2620 Admissions. Great Interest Centers in Contests, Which Will Close, Tonight. The Canton fair opened most aus piciously. but its sorond evening was even more successful. On the opening evening there were 1235 admissions punched at the door. Last evening, there were 150 more than that number, making the total for the two evenings 2620. City hail was packed with the largest crowd that it has held for years. It was a satisfied crowd, too. for all seemed to enjoy themselves and to believe they were getting their money's worm, incy came lrnm an airecuons, all on pleasure bent and they got it. The entertainment given was a good one and gained much merited applause. The same artists appeared as on the previous evening. The German comodi ap was a taker. He was encored and re-encored. The violinist also left a very good impression with the audi ence. The entertainment closed with a very laughable farce. This was old. having been seen on the stage for at least a decade, but it caused more solid fun than all the rest of the entertain ment. The house was kept in an up roar throughout the whole of this per formance. Many compliments were heard upon the decorations, especially those around tiie balcony, which although not elabo rate were very tasty. The various guessing contests and other schemes did a thriving business as on the pre vious evening and in some cases much more. At one table the receipts were about quadrupled. In the guessing contests already completed. Miss Mol lie Dowling of Randolph, was awarded the gold ring. Will Jackson, the sofa pillow, and William Grosvenor, the barrel of flour. ltut successful and interesting as last evening was, this will be the banner mglii with the fair. Much interest cen ters in the contests going on for the goldheaded cane between Policemen George P. Fletcher and C. A. Miron, tnd for the gold watch, with Miss Olive Carey and Miss Mabel Clough as candidates. During the evening, these contests will be closed and the results announced. The results of the various other schemes will be announced dur ing the presentation of the 157 presents to be given away. The whole is to close with a grand ball. The members of Canton Augusta will at this time welcome Brigadier General Charles E. Weeks of Rockland, with his staff, together with many other out-of-town Chevaliers. Dennis' Orchestra will furnish music, which assures an excellent time to all. It has been arranged that ears shall leave for Ilallowell and Gardiner at 1 o'clock to accommodate those who attend from those cities. The season ticket presents will be awarded at 8 o'clock.

She was using Postum Coffee exclusively as a bever age at meals. I said, 'I thought you were so fond of coffee that you could not be induced to give It up.' ‘Well,’ rr.y friend said, 'we got to liking this Postum Coffee for It serves as a food as well as a beverage, and we have all felt so much better since leaving off the old coffee.’ "I learned to make the Postum and made it fine. so when I went home I be gan to serve it to my husband instead of the old-fashioned coffee. About a week afterw.it Js I ask"! him how he liked the coefe*. and told him X had been trying a new kind. He says, 'I think It is most excellent. Is it Mocha or Java or a mixture?’ I told him that It was the famous Postum we had read so much about and he most jumped from his chair in surprise, but the change has become a fixture and he will never give up postum and go back to the old-fashioned coffee, for we not only liKe 't better but we feel so much better in every way."
