The above portrait Is u good pic lure of the best district attorney vc have hud in tills district during the past ttnrtcr century, Mr. John Manning.

It remained nil these years as in the wild and woolly pioneer days, 11 wide open town tin til Mr. Manning assumed the duties of his ollice, when he notified the saloon men that the Sunday closing law was not a dead letter. It was a hard light hut Mr. Maiiuiui: won out. He also put the slot machines on the hum and saved to the citi ens of I'oitluud many times his sal ary liy rooting out these genteel mechanical thieves. Mr. Manning is criticised for en gaging special counsel to help him convict Banker Koss. Hut success fill prosecutors universally hav assistants. Ileiiey is nil exninpl. The attorney general of the United .States is another. Mr. Maiming to lie commended for his action this instance for the impoitaiicc o the case, and the array of legal tal cut atialiist the state demanded it. Mr. Cameron thinks, if electei district attorney, he will never live special counsel. Ifhedoesu't he wil sin pass the achievements of any o the big piosecutois. It is well to have a well develoK.'d hump of self esteem lor it gives one courage put forth his (test effort, hut sucl self conceit as is mnuifcMcd by Mr. Mimnitm's opponent too often lead to ignominious defeat, It certainly would lie the part of wisdom vote lor tne cautious, sale man than for the foolhardy, selfcouceitet one who might sacrifice the inter ests of the Mate to hisH;isoiial van uy.

We hoiHid last week that we should be spared the disagreeable task of saying anything adversely to the management of the public library. We visited the I'ortlaud library last week and endeavored to secure some information from the librarian and stated to her that we did not wish to say anything in the matter until we had heard both sides of the case that we might be able to give the public an unbiased account of the matter. The libra rian told us that we would be able to meet some of the directors who were coming to St. Johns to adjust the matter. We have kept close wa cuauuup 10 tie tune 01 "' writing we have neither met one of 1 the directors or has there been n meeting held here looking to a set-, iicmcui 01 ute maiier nun 11 iooks to us as if we were being buncoed by the lady in the big stone build-' ug. The facts so far as we have been able to learu them tire about like this, Up to the last visit of the 1 Portland ladies everything wast loveiy. uiiuoiiue.se rortiaun w dies stated to Mrs, Parker on her, last visit but one, that Dr. Hliot, 1 one of the directors, who had just before visited the library here had reported to the main librarian that the branch library at St. Johns was nicely situated and the books and library equipment were in fine con dition nud that he was pleased with it, We know Dr. Hliot. We know him to be one of the most gentlemanly gentlemen of our ac quaintance. A man of honor whose every word in matters ol this kind can be relied upon, and he would not make any such state ment if it were not true. The next time one of these ladies came out it happened that the la dies of some church were holding a sale in a room next door to the one occupied by the library, and we have been told that two or three of these ladies stopped in for a few minutes to see Mrs. Parker, our librarian, while the Portland ady was there and during this time Mrs. Parker attended the I home ladies and permitted the Portland lady to go through her uspectiou alone. After the books were inspected tins gentle lady from the big stone house called our title librarian down. The women objected to the church ladies coming in there to see our librarian. According to Mrs. Parker one of them stated that the churches should be sup pressed, that another said she would rather have the library placed in a saloon mid the books disH;iiscd through the hands of the bar keeper than have these W. C, T. U. women have anything to do with it. Then our little librarian was given her conge nud Miss Perkins nit 111 her place. Miss Perkins is bt. Johns girl, a very pleasing, accomplished young lady, who will Successors to Carlson &, Company. CARPETS, FURNITURE, ETC. Out of Business See Us without doubt give just as good satisfaction in the position as has Mrs. Parker, and she is a lady we would wish to sec advanced just as fast as may be in nuy line she may choose to follow. Ve would not say a word that could be const ined in any way detrimental to her or her ability Hut there are a few things we would like to know, and as the lady in the big stone house would not tell us, and the directors of the I'ortlaud library seem to have nil awful time getting to St. Johns to meet with our citizens, we will have to aslc a few questions I nnd send n copy of our pajer to each one of the directors whose nddress we can learn and see if this wlll elicit 11 reply, i?!rc, 1c done with the $O O0Othe , of Mliltiioiuah '.,. nr , ,i, f tv are taxed for the support of the library?

Albiua Two games of ball were pulled off at the Jersey street grounds Sunday, in which the locals came out nt the little cud of the horn in each instance. The Frakcs have the strongest aggregation of ball players outside of the Coast League, nnd it was no disgrace to be beaten by them. lint the playing of the locals was not up to the standard. In the morning game Wakefield was wild as a March hare, to begin with, hitting one man nnd giving three passes to first in the initial inning. This, together with a couple of lucky hits nave the brakes live runs cnouirh to dis hearten most any team. However, St. Johns played a good uphill game, the score standing hen the last man was out at 7 to 0 in Port land's favor. Had Wakefield warmed up before the contest ns he should have done, the result would no doubt have been different. Clark Moore easily led the batting, getting three hits a three-bagger, double and single out of four times up, besides making a splen did one-hand catch of a liner. Urown had an off day for the first time this season. Hlcveu errors were charged against the home team by the official scorer. Iu the afternoon Howard, the Frnke's crack twirler, made mon keys out of the locals. Not one of our players was able to laud on the ball safely. They had no trouble in finding the ball, but there was always a Prake under it. It was only through the kindness of An- tolue who obligingly made n bum throw to first that the locals scored at all, Philhrick got to first 011 an error of his grounder to short and came home 011 the wild throw. St. Johns' pitching staff apparently became exhausted in this game: Wakefield started to do the twirl- nc but soon pave wnv to iMnrk Moore: McCarty, a new pitcher, tried it uext, but he was soon put out ot commission; rmiuricK tneu got into the box and succeeded n preventing any more scoring for the last three innings, Parker, who took his place at third sur prised the audience by his light ning work. The score was 10 to 1. Herbert Pennington. Herbert Pennington, son of Mrs. Ada Pennington, died of rheuma tism of the heart at Good Samar itan hospital last week. He was 24 years of age and had served three years iu the Uuited States navy, having enlisted as yeoman at Bremerton in 1904 and assigned to the training ship, Philadelphia. A year later he was promoted to reg ular service and assigned to the United States Steamship Benning ton, doing service iu China seas and the Philippine Islands. He was sent home at the expira tion of his enlistment, for medical treatment at Mare Island United States Marine hospital, California. Was discharged tn good health and re-enlisted as first class yeoman, with orders to report for service on one of the battleships uow on a cruise around the world. A to days furlough being granted him, he was ou his way home to visit his mother when he was taken ill on the traiu aud conveyed to the hospital when he arrived in Port- and, where he remained until he died. His iuterment was made in Riv- erview cemetery uuder the auspices of the Spanish war veterans and a firing squad ot the O. N. u., an honor his comrades, family aud friends acknowledge with profound- est gratitude. The sympathy of the tuauy friends of Mrs. Pennington aud family will go out to them iu this time of their bereavement. rvirv vaii mnn nCAl f7D It sometimes pays to look around tt little and get prices and sec qualities 'before A you buy.

Peters, manager, is 11 very pleas ant gentleman nud one whom we feel sure will readily win a warm place in the hearts of our people. He nud his wife have moved here nud will make their permanent home in St. Johns, It is the pur pose of this company just uow to manufacture ice nud hold iu cold storage such commodities us the necessities of the trnde iu St. Johns demands; but just us soon as track age is put iu so that their heavy machinery can be handled, they will move their manufacturing es tablishment from Portlaud to St. Johns. It is for this purpose that Mr. Harris purchased the large tract of laud where the plant is located. Mr. Harris sometime since informed us that he intended to build a summer residence some where iu St. Johns where he could bring his family and enjoy the fresh nir and .sunshine oi the less densely settled portion of the conn try. We do not need, we think, to remind our people that this is strictly n at. joiius enterprise am as such is deserving of the heart! est support of the public, This factory s being erected iu St. Johns the warehouses will lie built here, laud if they receive the patronage they deserve will be enlarged. When Mr. Harris moves his shops uere it will be one of the largest institutions iu the city. Poor Little Kitty. the latest story of cruelty to cruelty animals comes from a fraternal source. we will tell it as we overheard one of the interested parties tell it. A lot of the mem hers of the Fraternal Brotherhood were going home with their sisters after the meeting and were near Oak Park when one of them saw a pretty little black aud white kitten on the car track and made a dive for the pretty little thing when something awful happened. Kitty uever mewed, but the pretty little sister did, and she landed in the mud beside the track and the other brothers and sisters followed suit because they could not bear to trump such a play and it was such a very pretty little bushy tailed, striped Kitty, aim uext moruiug "Mother" was seen burying some of sister's wearing apparel out in the gardeu, and poor little kitty was left right there on the track where she might get run over. Some people are awfully cruel. Dissolution Notice.
