Waterville, Me., Sept. 4.—(Special) The fifth annual exhibition of the Cen tral Maine Fair Association closed to night, the best weather of the vvek gracing the last day of the great show. Everybody connected with the fair, from President Martin Bartlett down to the humblest "SwipesV” at the horse stables, has worked hard the past week, pnd well derservea the rest that the cessation of the fair's activities will bring. With the exception of the terrible disaster of Thursday, when Aeronaut Charles Oliver Jones fell to his dentil by reason of his airship catching fire, the fair has been the most successful of the live years the Central Maine Association has been in existence. All the old features were larger and better than ever, and there were many new features which had never before been reen at r.ny fair in tli State of Maine. But this was not all. The first one nr two years of the life of the associ ation were days of experiment and tentative undertakings. Today, the as soclallon has not only learned how t.. do it, and accordingly many features that were no ornament to any fail have been done away with, and as a result the Central Maine Association I,as put before the public this yea: the cleanest exhibition, all the way through, that has been shown by any large association in the State. The complaints that have been made an few, and usually they have been fount to be groundless.

The fact that be bond and stockholders were mainly the same and in most cases held an "oual amount of stocks and bonds cre ates the presumption in the light of he history of the company that little >r nothing was paid for the stock. Certainly nothing was received from it- in the way of dividends. After the general custom in inde pendent financing the bonds were mostly issued to a construction com pany in payment for the plant, a cus tom resulting in this ease as in others in no appreciable advantage except to the construction company in the pos sibility of its securing a douhle prolit, at tlie expense ot the operating com pany. Some bonds and stock were placed in small amounts among local enthusiasts for competition who were dissatisfied with existing conditions or were eager for low rates. For the com pany was, in the language of the cir cular, the “Investors’ and Subscribers’ Mutual Benefit Public Service Corpor ation.” And rates were promised ig norantly and improvidently. To quote from another circular "the above rates nre less than half the present rental charges for the miscalled private line telephone of the New England (Bell) Co.” In 1902 and 1902 it rained circulars to prove the advantages offered bv the Northeastern Co. Apparently the plant was paid for on thr* basis ot 10,000 suh scrioers. But history was made very rapidly; too rapioly even for the con struction company to get rid of all its bonds. With ignorance of operating conditions, with seeming disregard of depreciation and with a large open 'on si ruction account, the Northeastern Telephone Co. drove rapidly towards failure, till in the fall of 1907 with about 2000 subscribers and with 1* months’ defaulted interest on its bonds. It passed into the hands of a receiver. Since then there have been issued receiver’s certificates to the amount of ?20,:.00. The balance sheet of June 20, 190Sr shows a deficit, of $59,277..’R. The Lewinston-Auburn Telephone Co. was organized April 2, 1902. under the general laws of the State f Maine with an authorized capital stock of $250,000. par value $100. all of which was issued. Its exchange territory Is the two cities of Lewiston and Au burn. On May 21, 1905. It had 1210 sub scribers, and on Aug. 29, 1908. 1421 sub scribers, including some free tele phones. On April 1. 1904. it executed a trust mortgage to the Portland Trust Co. to secure $250,000 20-year 5 per cent, bonds. As in the ease of the Northeast ern, a construction company took most of the bonds and stock. Interest was paid in fall on the bonds to March 21. 190R. and a partial payment amounting to $400 was made on Sept. 20. 1900. Since that time no payments have been made. No dividends have been naid on the stock. The company's bal ance sheet of June 30, 1908, shows a de ficit of $24,108.69. Considering the num ber of subscribers this is fairly com parable with the Northeastern Co’s, deficit of $59,377.2S. The Cumberland Telephone Co., the smallest of the three companies, was organized under the general laws of the State of Maine, July 15, 1903, with a capital stock of $50,000, divided into 100 shares of common stock of the par value of $100 eaeh, and 100 shares of preferred stock of the par value of $100 each. Its territory is mainly the town of Gorham and city of Westbrook, and it started in business with about 97 subscribers which have decreased to 85 in the last five years. It never is sued any bonds and the dividends it oaid during tile years 1901. 1905 and 1906 were not earned. The balance sheet of June 30, 1908, shows a deficit of $2064.20. Briefly told the story of all three of these companies is that they have been run at a loss, which is even greater than the figures quoted show, for no allowance was made by any of them for depreciation. Taking the cost of the plant and the items of the construc tion account at their book values and making the modest estimate of eight per cent, depreciation, these companies should have set aside for depreciation during the last year $139,149. Against this there is nothing. With these val ues the coot per station for the North eastern was $408, for the Lewiston-Au burn $326, and for the Cumberland $399. The average cost for all the Bell com panies is $149 per station. With the companies in this condition there came to the New England Co. a representative of the majority stock and bond interests with an offer to sell. The offer was declined as being unsat isfactory in substance and detail. The management of the New England Co. did not care to make ihe purchase. A bad example was more valuable to the New England Co. than a bad pur chase. But in justice to its own stock holders it was bound to consider what might prove to be a good bargain. It made a careful investigation of the plant and liabilities of tile three com panies. After many conferences and much correspondence it in its turn made an offer to purchase. The offer was accepted. The seller agreed to assign certain unsecured indebtedness, to pay the re ceiver's salary, attorney’s fees in ex cess of $25,000, certain receivership ex penses, and to pay all other outstand ing indebtedness other than bonded, this for all the companies. In addition he transferred to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co. $29,500 receivers' certificates of the North eastern Co., $175,000 bonds and $388,500 stock of tlie Northeastern, $234,000 bonds and $114,900 stock of the Lewis ton-Auburn. There is in the treasury of the Northeastern Co. $40,120 of its own stock, $80,000 of the stock of the Lewiston-Auburn, and $8300 of tile stock of the Cumberland. For all of (his including as it did $1,662,900 of securities the New England Telephone and Teleghaph Co. paid the sum of $325,000. This gives tlie New England Co. 79 per cent, of the bonds of the Northeastern Co., and 93 per cent, of the bonds of the Lewiston-Auburn. A matter of interest to the public in connection with this purchase is the question of rates. These subscribers who had both Bell and Independent telephones will get their service cheaper. Those who had only the Independent telephones may have to pay more. For manifestly the rates were not adequate to main tain the companies' existence. There is a living rate just as surely as there is a living wage, but it is gratifying to say neither the existence nor the passing of competition has affected or will affect the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co's, charges for ser vices in the cities of Portland, Lewis ton or Auburn. For additional stock and bonds, though not necessary for the control, the New England Co. will negotiate on the same basis on which it secured the majority interest.

Knowles last June and who came very near killing him, attempted to hang himself in his cell Wednesday night. He wrote a letter to his people telling them that lie had become tired of liv ing and bidding them all goodbye. This he gave to the prisoner in the next cell and told him to give it to Jailer F. G. Warren in the morning. Jailer Warren had been in the jail a few moments and had locked the prisoners up for the night. The prisoner who received the let ter read it and fearing that Green would dispose of himself immediately began crying for help. Jailer Warren heard the cries and reached Green's cell just in time to save his life. Green had made a noose of his belt, which he had tied to the upper bunk, and was strangling in it when Jailer War ren reached him. In a very few mo ments more another tragedy would have been enacted in the Piscataquis jail. Green is IS years of age and is con fined in jail for breaking and entering Chase Annie’ store at Sebec, also William Appleyarc"s summer home at that place, last sitring. He is awaiting the action of the September grand jury. In June he made an assault upon Sheriff J. M. Knowles in the corridor of the jail, which nearly resulted in the sheriff’s death. Sheriff Knowles’ skull was fractured and he has been obliged to give up all of bis duties about the jail. In all probability Green and his conspirators would have re ceived several years at State's prison upon the assault charge in addition to his sentence for breaking, entering and larceny. Green has a. mother and sev eral brothers and sisters living in Bar nard. This is the third affair of a tragic nature which has taken place in the Piscataquis county jail within the last few months. First w^as the as sault upon Sheriff Knowles and second the suicide of Herbert Woodbury, who was being held for the alleged murder of his wife. The county and jail offi cials are taking every precaution to guard against any further outbreaks of this nature. Republican Rally at South Portland. Portland, Me..

City Hall Crowded With People Who Cheer to Echo Senator Borah of Idaho, John Ken drick Bangs and Walter C. Emerson. The opening Republican rally of the campaign in Augusta was held in the City hall last evening and it was in all respects a success. The hall was tilled to its capacity, floor and gal leries, enthusiasm was high and the j three eloquent speakers were listened I to with close attention and rewarded with frequent applause. The crowd showed its appreciation of the speak ers and its interest in the issues by staying to the finish. Estimate of the crowd varied from 1500 to 2000. There were a very fe4> spare seats in the hack of the gallery, hut absolutely none on the floor and many were standing throughout tlie speaking. On the stage besides the speakers of the evening—Senator Borah of Idaho, John Kendrick Bangs of Ogun quit and Walter C. Emerson of Port land—were seated Ex-Mayor C. S. Hichborn, the presiding officer of the evening, Congressman E. C. Burleigh. Ex-Oovernor John F. Hill, Judge G. T. Stevens, State Chairman Byron Boyd, Clerk of Courts Charles W. Jones, Lewis -A. Burleigh, Esq., can didate for the Legislature, and Post master John V. Lane. The Lafayette Band was present and furnished an excellent concert before the meeting was called to order. Mr. Hichborn presided with his usual grace and In troduced each of the speakers with a few appropriate remarks. The first speaker was Walter C. Emerson, a former Kennebec county boy who has made good in journalism in Portland and in Washington and who is an exceptionally interesting and eloquent speaker. He spoke brief ly. hut managed to say a lot. First the Bryan slogan “Shall the people rule?" was taken up and Mr. Emerson argued that the people have ruled through Republican policies and through the leadership of President Roosevelt and that they will continue to rule by giving Bryan his third de feat. In touching on the tariff Mr. Emerson said it was simply a question which party shall revise it. the Re publican party which is pledged to the protective policy that has given this country its great prosperity, or the Democratic party which is com mitted to the destructive free trade ideas of Bryan. The matter of State issues was taken up by Mr. Emerson and particular attention paid to the empty and insincere charges of ex travagance made by the Democrats. He said that the Democrats had mane failures of it when placed in power in this State and nation, and that experi ments of that kind are too costly to be made. In closing Mr. Emerson urg'd his hearers to do their part toward smashing the Davis-Gardner machine, the machine of which Sheriff I’laisted is the sparker. of which Editor P'tt tangall is the “Honk! honk!” and which has never yet showed evidences of exceeding the speed limit. Speech of John Kendrick Bangs. ■Mr. Bangs spoke In substance as l'ol 'ovvs: The cordiality of your reception makes me regret that I am not myself a candidate. Before coming to the se rious work of the evening I wish to enter my protest against the words of the State committee who have adver tised me in this city as a resident of New York. I beg to give notice here and now that iri that respect 1 have reformed and for two full years have regarded myself as a full-Hedged Maineae, and instead of an old New Yorker I come to you tonight as a new Old Yorker, or, as my neighbors in the town of my residence have chosen to denominate me, a son of Ogunquit. There has been some speculation among my friends as to why I have deserted the simple life of the great metropolis for tile more strenuous natlis of an existence upon the rock hound coast of Maine, and there are some who have been good enough to intimate that in so doing I have been prompted by a desire to take a leaf out of the hook of my friend, Winston Churchill of New Hampshire, and to leave a state where X ha^ no chance whatever of a political nature to come here and seize upon the olflee of Gov ernor. To these T would say that I believe that in politics, as well as in other walks of life, certain rules of etiquette should prevail, and I hold that a man does not observe the rules of the game who insists upon being Governor of a State before he has been a resident of that State for six months. I would say, however, that if it were true that I had my eye on the Governorship of Maine it would be for one of two pur poses, either to dodge it if it showed the slightest inclination to come my way, or, if that were impossible, to seize upon it with outstretched hands and, with all the agility of which I am capable, to turn at once and place it in the hands of the man in Maine today who is the best fitted in every respect for the high responsibilities of that office. Bert M. Fernald. Tn view of the fact that T have not been a resident of the State of Maine long enough *o feel that I have the right to advise its citizens in matters which are of State concern, I shall not touch upon State issues this even ing, but will invite your attention to the record of the Democratic party from that moment when, iiO years ago. it lirst found the Republican party standing in its pathway, firm as the rock of Gibraltar, and saying to it, “Thou shall not disrupt this Union.” I find, very much to my surprise, that my original estimate of the num hci of Democrats in the State of Maine was rather lower than the actual tig ures seem to warrant. I had supposed that the State contained only two Democrats, and it was largely to get into a State where there were so few of these that I chose the State of Maine as the place in which to pass my declining years. I had supposed that those two Democrats were a gen tleman by the name of Pat tangall, an editor, and the other the distinguished Jeremiah Gard ner, or perhaps it is Obadiah. I am not particularly strong on the proph ets, no stronger in fact than the Dem ocratic party is in prophecy, and when 1 think of the phrophecies of the Dem ocratic party and its leaders my mind reverts more to the lamentations of Jeremiah than to the utterances of any of the other prophets whose names are familiarly known to you all. Much to my surprise I find that there are several others, men who despise Bryanism and all that Bryanism rep resents, who are still voting with the Democratic party because they say the Democratic party still deserves their allegiance and their loyalty and their respect. And I find myself concerned with a new proposition, not “What is a Democrat?” for that is a question that wo all of us long since gave up trying to answer, but “Why is a Dem ocrat?” The difficulties in answering that question will reveal themselves when we consider the record of tire party from the time it first met the Republican party as its opponent, and at the risk of being accused of raking up all sorts of dead issues—that is a familiar re tort of the Democrat when you try to bring up his record. His past is always a dead issue. He is not even willing to speak about his present, he is speculat ing entirely upon his future and when you speak of iris past he either tells you that you are discussing dead is sues or are abusing him. We have no desire to abuse anybody tonight. We do not wish to abuse the party; we do not wish to abuse Mr. Bryan. Against his personal character we have noth ing whatever to say. if there is any thing to he said against it. but the record of the party and Mr. Bryan's record as a statesman, if lie may be so called, should bp considered at a time when lie and His party come to vou and ask your confidence and that you place the administration of your national business in their hands. In 1S5S James Buchanan was Presi dent of the United States. Was there anything in the vacillating policy or shillyshallying methods of this man into whose)hands had been committed the honor and welfare of this republic, to inspire confidence? Is it not rather a pitiful spectacle that this unfortu nate figure presents on the pages of history, a man who, clothed with such responsibility, in the fare of such great questions as were then pressing upon the attention of our people, could maintain that the states had no right to secede but that the nation had no power to prevent them from doing so' Do our Democratic friends o' today, who boast of the brilliant an noble record of their party, retnotnbf the criminal blindness of the the President of the United States wh* permitted two of his secretaries to ft' tlie arsenals of the South with rifle and th" ammunition with which t use them which were subsequent! turned against the government the had sworn to serve and protect Is there anything in this record upo which the Democrats, so-called. toda>, can reasonably feel proud? Four years lapse and we find our* selves involved in a conflict, a success ful issue on the Democratic side ot which would have involved the disrup tion of this republic. I wish to exclude from my consideration of this record those unhappy and misguided persons. Democrats to a man, who openly took up arms against the Union. Whatever Iheir fault in the light of history, they at hast fought for principle as they saw it and we knew whore to find them, it was another class of Democrats in those days that I wish to speak of, and these were not so easily smoked out. and do you recall what they are called? It delights me to think that the people of that day were capable of applying to them a term which was absolutely, accurately de scriptive of their character and quality when they called them "Copperheads." And why were they called Copper heads? Because since that beautiful day when the original mother of us all went walking in that beautiful garden and was invited to sit down and join f he original Democrat in a dish ot fruit, we have known nothing meaner in the line of serpents than that same Copperhead. With the patient Lincoln devoting himself to an untiring effort to bring a terrible conflict to an end and to win victory for the cause of the rigid, these men were secretly doing all in their power, many of them in the safe en vironment of Canada, to thwart him in his purpose to put down rebellion. 1 have no particular use for tnc man who is eternally waving that sanguin ary garment that we used to call thu Moody shirt, and my respect for the men i f principle who fought in the South land for the lost cause, sacrificing their lives and their fortunes for the main tenance of all that they believed to be right, is deep, hut for the Copperhead who would risk his precious person on neither side and who did all that lay in his power to embarrass the no ble Lincoln and impede his progress to a solution of the awful problems which confronted him, I hold an equal ly great contempt, and I ask that Dem ocrat who sits within hearing of my voice tonight what there is in this part of his party's record thut uppeals to his loyalty or his pride? And when this war was brought to its glorious conclusion and under the influence of that sober second thought that should have brought the Demo cratic party to a realization of its du ty, whom did it nominate for the Pres idency of the United States? Some. Democrat of the type of Stephen A. Douglas, who. having been defeated by Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency at the outbreak of the war. loyally and generously went to him and said: "Sir, vou haw defeated me at the polls; we have been opponents in political con flicts for years. 1 have fought you to the best of my abilities in the past, but in the I'aec of this conflict my b»st energies, mental, moral and physical, arc yours to command." Did they put a Democrat like that in nomination? Some man who had been unwaveringly loyal to the trium phant cause? No. They chose for their standard hearer Horatio Seymour of New York, a man who because of his narrow partisan bigotry misrepresent ing that loyal Empire State, bad chos en of his own volition to repell every friendly advance of Mr. Lincoln, and placed New York effectually in the at titude of opposition to the necessary 'measures for the suppression of the war, and did everything that he could, i.ot to help, but to impede. It was not disloyalty, hut narrow partisan bigotry ttiat impelled Horatio Seymour to that course and he pursued it in faco >f the most pathetic letters from Pres ident Lincoln begging for his assist ance, that have ever been recorded ill :he archives of any nation. In naming suoh a man for the Presi lency of the United States at a time vhen the saintly Lincoln was resting in his grave, the victim of an assassin, the Democratic party endorsed him and (Continued on Pago Four.)

MARKET REPORTS p——-—— NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings In All The Leading Stocks. New York, Sept. 4.—The stock market •was affected, as usual, by the imminence ot a three-day lioliday. Dealings’ were confined largely to the closing up of con tiarts by the traders who are averse to tl„- risk’of a long period in which stocks cannot be dealt in, while some sudden event might change the speculative sit uation. It beennto manifest that, in the decline of yesterday, traders had operated with some freedom on the short side. The demand which advanced prices today was attributed to covering operations from that source.

VERNON. ,Tha Kind Vou Haw Always Bought Bean tbs Signature of DO YOU TRADE I on any of the EXCHANGES? In a recent Saturday’s Kennebec Journal we told the story of Mr. Lawson's connection with the Boston Curb as Chaiiman of the Listing Committee. Although Mr. Lawson is probabh tlie busiest financial man in the world todav, he finds time to meet with the Committee on the C urb and go into minute details re garding every proposition submitted for the approval of the Committee. During the past week, several stocks, floated bv a certain brokerage bouse in Boston, have been up for consideration and a great deal of dissension was occasioned in the examination. Mr. Lawson insisted on the cold tacts being presented and the people behind the stocks preferred to deal in g’iPering general ities. It is needless to sav that Mr. Lawson’s was the squarcst and lairest way and will eventually result in the scratching from the list of mam stocks of the character to which we have alluded. In answer to our advertisement of last week and the week before, we have received a large number of replies from readers of the Kennebec Journal. M e have placed all of these people on our mailing list and will send them, free, our Curb News, w hich contains a weekly review of the Boston Curb market, to gether with advice to traders and inside information on many of the Curb securities. Me make a point of handling stocks which are listed on any Curb, but, owing to the large amount of wholesome pub licity given to the Boston Curb, and the strength of these issues, most of our business is done on the Boston Curb. Promoters of solid corporations and men of affairs who wish to find a secure market for their stocks generally trv to have securities listed tin the Boston Curb as a guarantee of the solidity and honesty of the management. The Listing Com mittee of the Boston Curb does not guarantee the value of the stock. All that the Committee can vouch for is the honesty of the officers and the wav in which the stock is advertised and the affairs of the Company promoted. While it is a well-known fact that the Boston Cyrb has no connection with the Boston Stock Lxchangi it is also well know'll that most of the active stocks in the unlisted department of the Boston Stock Lxchange were once featured on the Curb. Boston Corbin is an example. M e told our clients, last spring, to hue Boston K Corbin at prices between $10 and $t2 per share. M e placed many clients in Boston C- Corbin at those tigiifv.-. Since then, the Companv has had its stock accepted b\ the Boston Stock Lxchange Committee and the stock is now active in the unlisted department of the Big Lxchange. It is selling, today, around $iX per share, and lias been a little higher, an advance of over 50 per cent within the past four months. Miami is another stock that was active on the Curb less than three weeks ago. M e advised our clients to buy the stock when it was first listed. It has now been taken from the Boston Curb and is now on the Big Lxchange. where it is one of the features among the low-priced coppers, selling at a big advance over recent prices. Another stock that we earnestly advised our clients to pur chase was Lake Copper when it was selling at per share, hast hebruary and March. This stock was placed on the Big Lxchange last week, and it is now selling around St^ to $14 per share, an advance of over too per cent within six months. Me think the next stock to be taken up by the Big Ex change will be ('uniherland-L.lv, which is now selling between XX.50 to Si). This stock went to $10 on lieavv trading last wee!:, and then eased off a bit. Kverybodv familiar with min ing knows that this is one of the most successful mining prop ositions ever floated. It is backed by the big (iuggenheim in terests and ought to be selling at the same price as Nevada onsolidated, which owns one-half the big smelter and concen trator which is now treating Cumberland-Lly ore in combina tion with the ores of Nevada Consolidated. Cumberland-Lly will sell at $25 per share at the first indication of an advance in the price of copper. Me advise clients to buy Cumberland-L.lv at any price under $10 per share, whether to hold for dividends or for a quick turn. Another stock that is attracting considerable attention now is Nipissing Mines Co., which pays 3 per cent quarterly on i.oon.itoo shares of the par value of $5. ()n the expectation of an increase of dividends, the slock sold up to $9.25 last week. Me mention Nipissing because it is a criterion of the tre mendous values to be found in the great silver camp at Cobalt. It is doubtful it there has ever been a more successful camp, In>111 the junjp, in the history of mining than the wonder camp at Cobalt. What is being :elt 1 i>t. >n tile Kusto^i t nri> today. Cobalt Central is selling around 40 cents. McKinley I ku ragh is selling around Xo cents. Silver Oneen/is selling at St. Silver Leaf is selling around 14 cents, and La Rose is selling around S5.50. We think any of these stocks at the present price is a good purchase. For a low-priced stock we advise the purchase ut a block of Silver Leaf, as the Company L all financed, has no debts of am kind, has a treasury reserve of over $150,000, and even on it' large capitalization of 5.000.000 shares it could pay 1 per cent quarterly, making the. stock worth, after the first dividend declaration, upwards of 35 cent- per share. Anyone wishing to make 200 per cent in a four months' turn in the mar ket would do well to purchase a block of Silver Leaf. ()ne of the most active stocks on the Boston t mb today, and one that has jumped in price too per cent within the past three weeks, is stock of the Kureka Mines Co. 'Phis Company has been examined bv the Listing Committee and still remains on the list. 'Phis stock was selling around to 3 cents lcs* than three weeks ago.^ It has since sold up to t» cents. It will sell at 15 cents per share inside of Co days. The properties of this Company arc J^catcd, 411 Southern California and at frogrande. New Mexico. 'The properties are being developed, and every indication points to one of the biggest mines in the Southwest as development work pro gresses. I W e advise the purchase of a block of Eureka at any price below 7 cents and will execute orders at market for our clients. 'Pile only Rawhide stock listed on the Boston tub is stock of the Rawhide Mining Co., which is selling between jo and 25 cents. ()nlv one-half of the capitalization has been issued, the balance remaining in the treasury of the Company for future use. The Company does not owe anv money to anybody, owns one of the most valuable claims in Rawhide, has seven reputa ble lessees at work developing its property on a strict royalty basis, and has already contracted for the erection of a 100-ton mill to treat its own ore and such custom ores as they will be able to handle after taking care of their own output. To purchase stock in Rawhide Mining at present prices is 1o hu\ a practical guaranU of future profit, and we earnestly adMse all those contemplating purchasing mining stock to in vc ligate Rawhide Mining before making up their minds. Wo will gladly furnish information of any character to an ,one that desires to avail himself of our extensive knowledge of Curb stocks. To all traders who wish to keep thoroughly posted on IP ston Curb list, we will gladlv mail our Curb Sews, free, upon ropiest. A postal card will do. If interested in any particular stock, do not he afraid to write 11s and ask us for full details. ll you have not yet received one of Mr. Lawson's Na ti nal Stock pamphlets, we will be glad to mail \ou a copy on request. We refer to any hank in Boston, to R. fh Dun Co., The 1 Tadstreet Company, or any of the other smaller mercantile agencies. )ur business is done in the promptest manner pos- j sible. and we believe in the principle that a satisfied client is worth more to tis than a profit on the sale of worthless securi ties. e are just as desirous of keeping our regular clients as we arc of obtaining new ones, and have found, after many years’ experience, that there is more money in old clients who have been successful than there is in new clients, who generally do business with us in a small way until after they have become better acquainted with our methods. If you have no broker and contemplate doing business on the regular exchanges, we shall he glad to handle your account on a strict commission basis, no marginal transactions of any kind, and after we have satisfied ourselves as to vour standing we shall be glad to execute all orders bv telegraph, allowing your remittance to follow by mail. This will enable you, if living at some distance from Boston, to get the benefit of present-day prices without keeping a large deposit on hand with us. We think that there will be a big advance movement in all stocks, especially in the strong Curb issues, and earnestly advise those contemplating trading, to get in touch with us at once. Send us your name and address so that we may enter your name on our Curb Ni-ws list. Mm Cm Barnard Co.

BUKLEIUH of Augusts «---4 i I i 1 I I j f i I f i I 'I'll*' busy editors of the Democratic «failles iu Lewiston, Kiddeford, Port land and Waterville have not yet found spare in their crowded columns to publish the appeal of Mr. Bryan for contributions to bis campaign fund. The Rockland Opinion still keeps it going, however, and this week has been rewarded by a dollar contribu tion s*‘lit by a loyal Uryanite residing in Redstone, X. II. The Portland Argus is busy Just now explaining that the Democratic writers and spellbinders do not really 'mean to belittle Maine when they lie about its progress, decry its prosperity and misrepresent its financial, indus trial and social conditions. To the credit of the Argus, it is to be said that it has I.. doing less if this busi ness than its Democratic contempora ries at Itiddeford and Waterville. The Maine Woodsman, published at Phillips, and by no means to lie classed as a political newspaper, has been looking over the field in Franklin county and expresses the conservative view that the Republican majority in that county September It will be at least l'JOO over all opposition, if not onsidi rablv above that figure. In 1906, the Republican majority in Franklin county was 974 over the com bined opposition. When asked for his opinion of the Vermont election returns Mr. Rryan said he did not care to express himself at that time, as the returns seemed in complete. At that time the returns showed that the Republican plurality in the state was 29,37ti, and every town had been heard from. Mr. Bryan's Idea of the incompleteness of the .Vermont returns may indicate that the Democracy pint's to ask for a re count in that state. Not to be outdone by the organ of mud and mirth, the Portland Argus now announces that it has discovered a “convert” to Democracy. He lives in 'Brunswick, and. according to the reliable Argus, Ids name is A. E. Thompson. He states in a letter” to the Argus that he has been a Republi can for 20 years, but proposes to be a Democrat this year. But here cornea the Brunswick Record which pricks the bubble by declaring that no man of that name is known in Brunswick, and inquiry thus far has failed to lo cate him there or in that vicinity. Explanations pcem due from the Argus. ___j Last Evening’s Great Rally. Tlmt was a rousing rally at Augusta I'ity hall last evening, and the splendid tudience of over 1500 people who were present and who remained to the closa ,vlth unwavering attention, gave lbundant evidence that the people of :his city are awake to the importance >f the coming election. The Republi cans of Augusta are to be congratulat ed upon such a rally. It upsets the tradition that the people of this city ire apathetic in the matter of attend ing rallies, and it demonstrates that the Republican party here is united iml active, loyal and enthusiastic as election d6/ THE VOTER: “NO, I DO NOT CARE TO TRAVEL; IN THAT COMPANY.” crop of suckers is not .of the expected proportions this year. The Androscoggin situation is much tlie same as that in Kennebec county, except that in Androscoggin the Democratic ring is a little larger and more of its members have succeeded in sneaking into office. The Lewiston Journal thus sizes up the Democratic ring system over in Androscoggin: “Androscoggin county is in the clutch of a Democratic ring that coolly appro priates offices to itself or denies them to others. It reads all dissenters from its autocratic rule, out of the party. It never goes to the people in its nominations. It is as un-Democratie as the edicts of the Tsar of Russia. It meets in back offices and does its nominating by stealth. It is a close well-managed political corporation. It is efficient but it has no sympathy for the people, so far as going to them in its nominations is concerned. “As far as the appropriation of of fices to itself goes, the Androscoggin county Democracy is a royal family. The ex-member of Democratic State Committee is Sheriff. The new mem tier of the Democratic State Committee is County Treasurer. The Demo cratic County Attorney is also Demo cratic Mayor of Lewiston. Special liquor deputies are identified with Democratic City Committees. The chairman of the Lewiston Democratic City Committee is Lewiston’s Demo cratic Tax Collector. The chairman of the Auburn Democratic City Com mittee is candidate for County Com missioner. The chairman of the County Committee is Superintendent of the Lewiston Poor Department. More than half the members of the Lewiston Democratic City Committees are Democratic policemen. “Those gentlemen thus have their own offices in their own keeping. They pick out their nominees as the Water vi’le Rosses nick out their guber natorial nominees. And once done, no others need apply.” Our old friend Ilurke Cochran, who has embarrassed the Bryan candi dacy this year by endorsing it. is hav ing great difficulty in finding any sec tion where the Democrats want him to appear upon the stump. He is so 'veil known at home that the New York Democracy wants him to get as far away from there as possible. New England Democrats, remembering past experiences, are so shy of him that they are begging that he be kept out of this section. The West is a great country and perhaps some part of it will he found where he will be allowed to turn loose bis oratory without seri ous damage to the cause lie represents. Some of the newspapers, in announc ing John Kendrick Bangs as a stump sneaker in ttiis campaign, give his residence as New York and others give it as York, Maine. As a matter of fact, his home is in the town of Wells, in the section of the summer colony known as (igunquit. This is not merely Mr. Bangs’ summer home, however, as it is his legal residence and he will east his vote in Wells Sep tember 14. Last year he and his fam ily were there 10 months out of the year, being in New York the other two, and something like this proportion will be maintained in the future un less his plans are radically changed. No man with a greater capacity to stir his audience to laughter is now upon the stump in Maine. But this is by no means to be taken as meaning that Mr. Bangs is a humorist and satirist and nothing more. The seri ous parts of his addresses are filled with convincing logic and with sledge hammer blows at the Democratic record and principles, or lack of principle. Mr. Bangs does not pro pose to be known in American literary history solely as one who makes oth ers laugh and he is now doing work along serious lines, especially upon his torical themes, which is certain to be valuable and enduring. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT, They Give Maine Up. (Portland Express.) The chalnnan of the Democratic Na tional committee gives Maine up. He says that the National organization will do nothing to help in Maine because it is hopelessly a Republican State. That is true enough, anil it shows good sense on the part of the National chairman, but it is rather cold comfort for those who are struggling to get control of our State Government. However, Mr. Mack cannot be blamed. In the first pilace effort to carry Maine for the Democrats is e'fort wasted, as has been repeatedly shown, and it will be shown again this year. In the second place there is no desire on the part of the leaders of the Democratic par ty in Maine to help the Bryan cause. Mr. Ma"k and Mr. Bryan understand that fact perfectly. They know that when Mr. Bryan came to Maine last winter delega tions from the leaders of the Maine De mocracy made every possible effort to prevent him from coming. The man who was then chairman of the Democratic State committee and who has since been elevated to membership on the National committee refused to attend ids meeting in Bangor, and plainly slighted the dis tinguished guest of the State. Ttie lead ing Democratic papers do not pretend to have any interest in the Bryan candidacy, and if any Democrat doubts that let him watch for editorials urging the party men of the State to stand by the ticket for the sake of helping Bryan. There lias hardly been a kindly word mentioned for Bryan since it became known ilint lie would he a candidate. The nearest that we remember of anything of lids sort was the suggestion by one of flic leading papers, that if F.ryan was to lie non1'ma ted at all perhaps it would be better if lie were nominated by aeclamation, but the new member of the National committee did not even agree with that proposition, since as cme cf the Maine delegation, ho voted against Mr. Eiyan at Denver. A Somerset Opinion of Congressman Burleigh. (Somerset Reporter.) In another pint of this issue we take pleasure in printing a review of some of the notable results accomplished by Mr Burleigh ns Governor of our State, and as Representative from ttie Third Congres sional district of Maine, which ought to satisfy even tiirse who have asked the foolish and sarcastic Question, "What has Mr. Burleigh dene?” It is a splendid record of results, showing how effective Mr. Burleigh lias been in nil his public service, it is this ability to accomplish tilings, to show a record of practical re sults of which any man might fed proud’ that has endeared him to the people of Ills State and Ids District irrespective of party affiliations. The following is the record which Oongiessman Burleigh lias made in securing public buildings for the Third District ns compared with the record made by all ids predecessors from the time the State was organized to 1897, the year lie entered Congress: From 1820 to 1897, $272,225.16 From 1897 to present time, 44C.OOU.OO In other words, in the eleven years Mr. Burleigh lias been in Congress, he has secured appropriations for public, buildings in tills Congressional District, exceeding by $172,774.84 tlie total appropri ation for tills purpose secured by his predecessors in the seventy-seven years of the State's history. We think our readers will agree with us that this Is a record of practical results which speaks mere eloquently than words of the good work which our Representative In Con gress has done for his district. We think it is the best evidence we ran have that in his hands, the Dill for a new public hull ling 'n Skowhegan will be passed when it comes up for consideration in the next Congress. We ask a careful rending of the article to which we have referred containing a review of some of Mr. Burleigh’s achieve ments during his public career. The peo ple—the common people—love Governor Burleigh, not for file enemies he has made but for the friends he has won. Ai Christian gentleman always, a believer! in the New England home and the New England family, sound, conservative and safe, always to he trusted, having full confidence In Maine and her Institutions,1 it is no wonder that at the last election parry ties were snapped In many cases, and that he ran some five hundred votes! ahead of his ticket. We have no doubt he will have a magnificent endorsement at the pending election. j It is a Republican Year. (Portland Advertiser.) The signs are multiplying that tills is to he a Republican year. Vermont has spok pn and the result there indicates that the East is as hostile to Riyan and his poli cies as ever it was. On the heels of the Vermont election comes the news that the Democracy lias h -on deprived oi' its for lorn hope in Ohio. Senator Forakt r. who was dechued by Democratic orators to bo hopelessly estranged from Judge Taft and the policies which he represents, has made it clear hoyond a shadow of a doubt that his great influence in his home State will be given to the Republican candidate. That removes any doubt if any really ex isted, as to where Ohio will be found when the votes arc- counted next Novem ber. Sets the Pace for fdaine. (Somerset Reporter.) The flroon Mountain State has set tile pace for Maine. Tn the State election T.uesdav, Vermont rolled up a plurality if tin cot. electing Geo. H. Frontv. Gover nor, with Congressmen and entire State ticket. The next Legislature will stand is follows: Senate. Republican, :.f); Demo crat, 1' House, ReYiublicans, 210; Demo crats, Independence League, 0. This will ensure the election of a Republican l'. S. Senator. A gain has been made by Hie Independence Longue. Tins great victory in Vermont will have a stimulat ing effect upon Maine Republicans. Where is Obadiah at? (Pent la ml Ad vertiser.) Mr. Gardner's supporters are troubled as to bis position on tlie* question of re submission. They arc printing his cele brated Avgusta speech in an effort to show that he is consistent but the sp -eeh does not cover tho point. Mr. Gardnei in that utterance says he is entirely in sym pathy with the Maine prohibitory law. He believes in it and in its enforcement. If he favored resnlimission. it was for the purpose of reaffirming and strengthening the law. That is the only fair Inference to he drawn from the statement tha*. he believed in the law. Ceitainly if lie be lieved in :t and at the same time favored resubmission be did not want resubmis sion ir. order to have the law repealed. And that is where the inconsistency in his present attitude comes in. The Deni- oeratie party wants lesubmissinn in the hope that it will caure tha repeal of the prohibitory amendment. Democratic ora tors. with perhaps Hie exception of Dba diah Gaulner, make no concealment of the fact. The Democratic attorney of this county is devoting all his energies on the stump to his endeavor to prove that Maine lias suffered because of prohibi tion. He makes it no secret that he fav ors a local option law. His associates take the same ground. They are the sup porters of tlie candidacy ot Mr. Gardner, who two years ago believed without res ervation in the Maine law. To (ay that recent Democratic campaigns have been conducted on any other ground than the rep. al of the constitutional amendment Is to say what is not true. Either Mr. Gardner is a candidate not In sympathy with his party or ids opinions have under gone a remarkable flop in the past two yeavs. Dls speeches may lie printed by the column but they cannot alter that fact. State Master Gardner was a pro hibitionist to take him at bis word. Can didate Gardner is the nominee of a party which wants the prohibitory law so amen ded that the sale of liquor may be legal ized. If Mr, rinrdner has any explanation to offer to account for his present posi tion In view of his earlier utterances it has not come to our notice. Certainly it is not to lie found In his speeches to the Grange. Will Stand by Traditions. (York Transcript.) The election In Vermont w«>nt about as most people expected and there Is no lea son why the grand old State of Maine should not stand by the I radii ions of the r‘ast J||st as her sister state has done Fifty Against Two.

Hath hears- that it will have direct steamboat service to Boothbay Harbor all winter, the steamer Boothbay being tilted tip fuy this service. The Booth bny /s- e.'^ieejplly tilted for this .service, having a steel hull and when com pleted will be staunch in every respect, ’flu tiduy. r will of course have to run ’out-ide ami up the Kennebec but the taken to ilu this is not any more than the run to Wiscasset in the winter. lute (lay recently Mr. and Mrs. Moses Chandler and Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

The deplorable accident by which i-evt it lives were lost In Penobscot bay tais week was due, judging from the reports.- to a eerttiin recklessness of a bind widen iH too common at seashore resorts Ten persons were sailing in an pI'*a boat. There was a frestt breez ■'P'l considerable sea. To ballast the bcraft lb passengers were placed upon j the windward side. When the boat I *:u'ked they were expected to shift from ,l’“ "tie side to the other. It was while I 11; i; I j boat operation was in progress that the -tence raises a point which lias been dis |jcussed in past years. Boats propelled bv ntaeltinery and carrying persons fot ■'ire tire subject to strict regulation by government officials, but the craft pro Polled by the wind is under the sole control of its owner or skipper- It is a air question whether there should not be some regulation of law to govern be way in which such craft are rigged nnd ballasted, and to limit the number person? which’ they may carry. .”hile such accidents as that of jester •lay cast gloom over the nearby resorts ami frighten the timid, it is neverthe less the fact that there is very .little danger in summer sailing on the pleas ant waters of the Maine coast: A writer in the Portland Sunday Times, as tlie result of a careful estimate, has recently shown that ten thousand peo ple, not including residents of" Portland, .'.re summer guests at 'ome time on tiie islands of Casco bay aioin*. A large proportion of these visitors are con stantly upon tlie water yet it i*.seldom that we read in tlie newspapers^ the ac count of a drowning accident Taking the entire Maine coast, w itJl Ha&dreds of resorts scattered from Kittery to East Port, tlie number ol visitors must 1 un into tlie i mi Hi reds of thousands. In yachts,•small sailboats, liiotyir launches ;,nd row beats these people spend'days upon the water and it is rare indeed when any of them are placed in danger The record is a good one. it bears out life often repeated statement that a Beat properly handled is among tin salest w' conveyances. Hut that does not alter tlie fact that it might be well t see if measures cannot lie taken to guard against the occasional accident, •such as that in Penobscot bay. Geo. It. Smith of Vassalhoro, the pioneer potato grower in Central Maine, has been experimenting quite extensively along several lines of planting and spraying and lias arrival at conclusions that are at least in teresting, and are valuable. He thinks that seed should he planted whole. Kor a while he compromised with tile “whole potato” people and cut the tuber in two. That was an improvement over the single eye tivonosition. hut still not entirely satisfactory. Ilis theory is that cutting tlie potato at all releases the juices—tiie food for the new plant until it can reach the fertility in the soil that has been provided for its use. He thinks the trouble has been with many that they have used too small seed., He believes that tlie tuber- planted Whole should lie the size of a lien's egg, and of good formation, for as is well known there is iniKli in good conformation in the potato of commerce that brings the nigh dollar. Mr. Smith also believes that there is not care enough used in mixing tlie chemicals for spraying. There are a number of pieces that have fallen under bis observation where blight and rust have apparently been brought on by too strong appli cation ol chemicals. In this connec tion it is worth while remembering that neither blight or rust can be brought on by spraying. The vines will stand much stronger chemi cals later in the season when the growth of foliage has ceased than when it is young and tender. It is really quite an art to get just the right “mix” and to apply it at the opportune moment when it will do the greatest good. No writer or authority ran tell offhand when a field of potatoes should be sprayed to get the best results. Many people forget that the vines grow with great rapidity at certain seasons under certain conditions, and when this growth is taking place spraying must lie done oftener than when slow growth is seen. It is the new leaves that push out after the spraying has been done that the newly hatched bugs do the damage to mostly, and -fhev must lie protected or the crop Is sadly handicapped. And yet some one lias said that farming is n busi ness calling for lots of brawn out very few brains. BELGRADE. Carl C. Lord, one of the graduates of the Belgrade High school, class of 190k, has entered Burdett's Business college, Boston. Mrs. E. H. McCarthy and Nellie C. Pray were business callers in Augusta Tuesday.

The flavour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same—mild, distinctive, and palatable. It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, tlie drug in coffee, and lien -e may be used wiili benefit at all times. “Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache, and misery in many ways,” writes an Ind. lady, “I quit and bought a package f Postum about a year ago. “My husband and I have been so well pleased ttiat we have continued to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as it has always the same pleasant flavour, while coffee changes its taste with about every new com bination or blend. "Since using Postum I have had no morel attacks of grail colic, the heavi ness has left my chest, and the old. common, every-day headache is a thing unknown. “There's a Reason.
