One dav this week he received from the manufacturers an Incomparable White Automobile, with a 40-horse power capacity, which is not only a beauty but w ill lie a source of much enjoy me ut to its owner. The IV cember numlier of White Bulletin says of this make of machine: "A striking evidence of the predominating reliability of the White car was presented in the official garage at Bath, the terminus of the third day's run. I'p to midnight only twelve cars arrived in the garage and among these were four Whites the two contestants, Mr. White's pilot car and Mr. Post's free-lance car. 'In other words, after three days of travel through an elimination of less reliable machines, one-third of the cars proceed ing on schedule time were White 'steam ers.' " A.J. Leland, traveling agent of the Chicago & North-Western Railway, with headquarters at Portland, was in the the city Monday transacting business for his company and made this office a pleasant call. Mr. Lelund is a hard worker for the North-Western and never loses an opportunity to point out the advantages of traveling over that fam ous route.

Alfred Cuuimings was up before Jus tice Bagley lust Tuesday on the charge of striking Anna Rinck, w ho lives near Buxton postollice. Attorney Bump ap peared for Cuinuiing, but the case was so conclusive against the prisoner that he advised him to plead guilty to save a heavy fine and perhaps a long term in jail, which the defendant did most speedily. Attorney E. B. Tongue ap peared for the state and argued for a heavy fine on the ground that a man who would strike a woman is en titled to no sympathy whatever. Ac ording to the evidence, Cuuimings has been harrassing the plaintiff and her family for some time, in various ways making life a burden to them. She has protested but all in vain. Some time ago wind blew a tree growing on me nghway down and most of it fell upon laud owned by the plaintiff. Cummings got permission from the town supervis ors to remove the tree and went with axe and saw to do so, but the plaintiff was on hand and a lively hand-to-hand encounter ensued in which Mrs. Rinck was knocked down and her lip cut. Mr. Cuuimings admits striking the woman, but says the provocution was too great for him to withstand. Judge Bagley gave the prisoner some very wholesome advice; told him that man and especially one of .the pris oner's age and appearance, should not lower himself so low as to strike a woman, 1 the provocation ever so great. He said that in cases of this kind he was always disjiosed to give the Water everything coming to him, ;Ut as the defendant, through his at torney, had pleaded guilty, lie would ake the fine f :', or 17$ days in the county jail. And the court ad led, by way of reminder, that It would le very healthy for Mr. Cummings to let the Rinck family alone in the future, for If irought before him again on the same charge he would be very apt to run up gainst the real thing. In default of payment, Cummings was escort! to me county sweuv-nox here he will spend his time for the next seventeen days in deciding In Ins own miiei mat u mighty mean thing to strike a woman German Dill Pick lei at Mtwdn- get.

The farcial comedy, "A Cheerful Liar," given by home talent at theopera bouse last Saturday evening under the auspices of the Woman's Belief Corps and Lewis ami Clark club, was u suc cess financially and otherwise. At an early hour the house commenced to till and at S ::0 every seat and chair was oc cupied. The part of Hastings llussel, taken by Harry T. Bagley, was the principal one in the plav, and as a "cheerful liar" Mr. Bagley takes the palm, (on the platform, of course1, and his admirable personation of Mr. Mus sel kept the audience in a roar. B. W. Barnes, us Gen. Boomer, ami K. C. Luce as Rev. K.ra Stiggins, u gold cure prac titioner who did not take his own medi cine, held their lines well and received much applause from the audience, hs did W. P. Tucker, the village constable, who had served the cheerful llttssel so long and faithfully that he had become pretty much ot a liar himself. ,). Ciuti dull, the waif of Randolph andlVarboru streets, did not put quite as much love und warmth into his elopement troub les as the case demanded or his pretty little lady love had a right to expect, but as she didn't complain the critic ought not to. Still ho did well and received a liberal share of applause. Miss Ontt Foord, the general's charm ing though headstrong daughter, hand led the part splendidly, though when donned in male attire to represent her cousin, she made a fatal mistake in at tempting to scratch a match. No boy lights a mutch that way. "B:rdy Sweetlove" was a part well taken by Miss Beside Sluttcry who proved herself "nothing but a woman,' und Miss Boom er's true friend in all her love troubles Miss Minnie (iheeu, as a 1 lousier school ma'am, kept the crowd convulsed with laughter and ut times wit foiccd to join in the merriment herself. Tho very 1 minted questions asked bur by "His Honor," Judge llussel, brought many blushes to her cheeks and they were the genuine article, too. Taken as a whole the production of the comedy was good and far belter than nine-tenths of the traveling enter incuts of a siruilular nature. Land plaster at Greer's. CIRCUIT COURT.
