Washington, March 4.—In his testi mony before the Senate committee on the Philippines, today. General Hughes I related the particulars of the massacre at Balangiga, Samar, last September. He took upon himself the responsibility for the sending of troops to that post and for the selection of the officers who was placed in command. "I had known him for years.” he said. “lie was a fine officer and I had every con fidence in him.” Gen. Hughes said, however, that he was convinced that the (Jisaster was due to over-confidence and he had since heard that the officer in command had reposed too great trust in the natives. Speaking of tin native soldiers, Gen eral Hughes saiil they generally did well, but should not be trusted except under command of American superiors.

RISING WATERS Causing Great Anxiety Over on the Penobscot. Part of Dam at Stillwater Gone and Veazie Dam Threatened. Families Taken from Houses in Beats —Jams Anxiously Watched. Orono, Mi' March 4.—(Special).—The ice jam at Busin Mills is assuming dan gerous proportions, and the situation is now quite critical, 'flic jam formed, Saturday night, and, Sunday, consider able ice blocked in so that the water back until it was necessary to shut down tlm mills of James Walker Co. Tuesday .morning at about 2 o’clock, 20 feet of the di:m at Stillwater gave way and the result of the sudden rise of water was felt at Basin Mills imme diately. The jam gave way and jammed again but a short distance down river. The water rose immediately at a startling rate. Within a couple of hours it had risen over 4 feet. Nine families were forced to abandon their hemes. The house of George Bar i ibee was invaded by over I feet of water and the family were awakened by neighbors who carried the members of the family from the house in boats. The lower bridge leading from the main land to the island is 8 feet under water. At the present rate the water is rising about 2 inches each hour. The jam now extends from Basin Mills to Yeazie and within a Short dis tance of the Veazie dam. The iee is piled up along the shores and is packed in in some places 15 feet in thickness. Large cakes of ice and logs are packed in in one grand congestion. Fears are entertained that if the jam breaks there it will carry away the dam at Yeazie, a part of which was carried away last spring. The dams further down the river are also endan gered. The water at Basin Mills has risen about 16 feet on account of the jam. This is the highest mark that the river has ever reached since ’46. Tuesday morning, the firemen were barely able to keep the fires going by standing in the water. Tuesday night, the water had risen until it was up to the gauges on the engines. The Bangor Orono Pulp Paper Co. and the James Walker Box Factory were obliged to shut down. Monday. The floor of the railroad bridge leading from the main land to the pulp mill is over 2 feet under water and. this morn ing. cars heaped with ballast were placed on it to prevent its being carried away. The water covers the floor of the box factory to the depth of 3 feet and parts of the mill have also been weighted. if the river atsive continues to rise or if more drift ice comes down serious consequences will ensue. The Cunard Line at New York learns that the missing Etruria, in tow of steamer William Cliff, had been sighted ton miles west of Fayal, Azores, having lost her propeller. All are well on board. A Liverpool dispatch says: "The Etruria will possibly reach the Azores, Tuesday or Wednesday. The Cunard officials are arranging to have tugs tow the liner home." The bodies of May Kelly ar.d Florence MetJrath have been found buried be neath a mass of wreckage in the col lapsed Cleveland Baking Co's, building at Cleveland, Ohio. In the criminal court Judge Babcock, Tuesday, in structed the grand jury to fix responsi bility. “Children and Fools” Done’* This is particularly applicable in cases where persons seriously troubled j from the effects of cofTee drinking and who take up Postum Food Coffee in its place, attempt to make the new beverage with a little hot water and two or three minutes' boiling. That sort of a "lick and a promise" produces a drink that is simply exasperating. It is flat and tasteless, whereas the person who will boil the Postum full fifteen minutes after the actual bub bling and boiling begins, will have a beverage that is something. There is a point between twelve and fifteen minutes of boiling, when the character of Postum is changed, the food value is extracted and the deli cious flavor which much resembles the milder and more expensive grades of Java coffee is produced. A lady in Salem. Ore., says: “When-i ever I drank coffee at night. I always passed a restless wakeful night. Ex treme nervousness and a weak stom ach have followed me ever since I have been using coffee. Finally I got into such a state that »*ny dyspepsia took the form of spasms and heart weakness. "I suffered intensely, and when a physician was called, he inquired, among: other things, if I drank coffee and insisted that I leave it off. I did so and took up tea, which I found al most as had. Finally Husband brought home a package of Postum, and we tried it (strictly according to direc tions, for we believe in the adage that •Children and fools judge of a thing half done’). "The new coffee was delicious and from that day until now (which is a year) it has been our only drink at meals. My dyspepsia, spasms, etc., are things of the past. My husband had suffered some years with bilious head aches and indigestion, but during the past year, on Postum Food Coffee, he rhas entirely recovered his health and gained much in weight. Our friends, frequently comment on our improved appearance and change in complexion.” Name of writer supplied by Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich. PRINCE HENRY Regretfully Leaves, Chicago to See Milwaukee Friends. Shown the Windy City by Daylight— Attends Another Banquet. 200,000 People Welcome Him to Mil- waukce, in Evening. Chicago. March 4.—The Chicago which Prince Henry of Prussia saw, last night, by the glare of many lights was presented to him, today, by the clearer light of the sun. The welcome which he received, last night, was re peated and emphasized and he was given further opportunity to enjoy his expressed desire to meet Ameiicun citizens at ?lose range. During the day he listened to an address from the Cential Bund of St. Paul, placed a wreath bn the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park and enjoyed a luncheon and reception at the Germania Club. The presentation of the address by Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, was the lirst detail of the day’s official pro gram. The prince received the govern or and a committee accompanying him in his private parlor car after he had eaten breakfast. By 11 o'clock ail those who were to accompany the prince during the day assembled at the Auditorium. Without delay the party entered the carriages waiting to con vey it to Lincoln park and the Ger mania Club. A dense crowd numbering thousands was crushed about the sombre statue of the great emancipator when the prince and iiis entourage came upon the scene. Cries of “Hoch der Kaiser” and "Hurrah for Henrich” were numer ous, making a thunderous volume of welcoming sound. The representative of the German Emperor, grave, but of pleasant mien withall, bowed repeated ly from his carriage. Tightly stretched ropes surrounded the statue to keep back the crowds, while a circle of po licemen in a strenuous manner dis couraged the attempts of the venture some who would have encroached on the ground reserved for his highness. The prince was all gravity as he en tered the plot of clearly swept ground surrounding the monument and laid at the feet of the image of the mar tyred President the floral token of re spect. The whole ceremony lasted hut a few moments. The prisee and his official party quickly re-entered their carriages and started at a brisk trot for the Germania Club, transformed for the occasion into a bit of the father land. It had been carefully planned to make the entertainment of the royal guest at the club the .crowning achievment of the day. He was to be made to feel at home, despite the for malities with which such functions must be encumbered. A burst of music from a brass band heralded the prince's coming and in a few minutes the “Prince Henry” of last night was “Un ser Henrich” among the enthusiastic congregation of German-Americans, prince, arm in arm with Dr. Wever, the German consul in Chicago, was met at the threshold of the clubhouse by Gustav F. Fisher, president of the club, and members of the club's re ception committee. The broad stair way leading to the reception and ban quet hall was lined with little girls dressed in white. The luncheon was confined to the prince and the immediate party ac companying him from Europe and as signed to him at Washington; the im perial German counsul. Dr. Wever, the two vice consuls, Drs. Hacrring and Zoephfel, Mayor Harrison, Governor Yates, Robert T. Uincoln. the execu tive committee of five representing the United German societies, and about 50 members of the club, including direc tors and the reception committee. At the end of the third course Pres ident Fischer proposed the health of the President of the United States, which was drunk standing. Then the band played “The Star Spangled Ban ner.” The next toast, also proposed by Mr. Fischer, was to the Emperor of Germany. This was drunk like the first, and was followed by the playing of "Heil dir lm Siegerkranz." During the rendering of both the American anil the German patriotic music the guests remained standing. At the end of the fifth course Mr. Harry Rubens deliv ered the speech of the occasion in pro posing the health of the club's distin guished guest. When the luncheon was finished President Fischer escorted the prince to the elaborately decorated ball room where the prince received those who had taken luncheon with him. It was during this reception that one of the most pleasing incidents of the day took place. President Fischer, on behalf of the ladies of the club, pre sented the prince with a magnificent vase to be given to his wife, the Prin cess Irene. The prince thanked the wo men in behalf of the princess, declaring that no incident of his visit had pleased him more, and that he was sure the princess, his wife, would cherish it al ways among her treasures. The vase was of gold and cut glass and was two feet high. The prince left the Germania Club at 1.30 o’clock and was driven directly to the Union depot. Crowds lined both sides of the streets. At the depot he thanked Mayor Harrison for the pleas ure his reception in Chicago had given him. At 2 P. M., the Chicago, Milwau kee St. Paul special train reserved frtr His Highness and suite left the sta tion. The prince stood on the rear plat form waving farewell to the assembled multitude. Milwaukee. Wis., March 4.—Milwau kee was host to Prince Henry of Prus sia for six hours, this evening. It gave him a reception that was highly en thusiastic and an entertainment that (Continued on page 2.) 57TH CONGRESS. House Continues Discussion of! Free Rural Delivery. Conference Report on the Philippine Tariff Bill Also Adopted. Frye Continues Speech on the Ship Subsidy Measure. Washington, March 4.—Tile House spent today in discussing the lull to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the con tract system. No vote was reached and it is doubtful whether one will he had. tomorrow, as the list of speakers is still large. The fate of the trill is in doubt, although the impression prevailing is that it will be defeated. The speakers, today, were Smith. Ky., Gardner, N. J., and Williams, Miss., in favor, and Landis, Ind., Maddox, Ga., and Hill, Conn., against the measure. Before debate began the conference report on the Philippine tariff bill was adopted. The vote was on party lines, except that McCall, Mass., Littlefield, Me., and Heatwolo, Minn., voted with the Demo crats against adopting the report. When the House met the pending ques tion was cn the adoption of the oonfer enee report on the Philippine tariff hill. On a rising division the votes stood: Ayes, 6«; nocs, 63. McCall (Mass.), Heat wole (Minn.) and Littlefield (Maine), Re publicans, voted with the Democrats against tlie adoption of the report. Payif. the majority leader, then demanded tie* ayes and noes and the roll was called. The report was adopted, 1?S to 1>9. The House then went into committee of the whole and resumed the considera tion of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service an place carriers under the contract system. Landis (Ind.) said (host of the shame and discredit cast upon the government in the past had be, n dim to the contrae system, and there was absolutely no pub lie demaml for the passage of the pend ing measure. Maddox (Ga.) predicted th:u if the contract system was established in the South negroes would carry ihi mails below Mason and Dixon's line Smith (Ky.) advocated the passage oi the hill. He thought that politics would continue to control in the appointment of carriers: nevertheless he believed tin l«*st and happiest service could be ob tallied through the contract system. Gardner (N.

Delarey Nicely Trapped British Convoy Near Klerksdorp, John Bull Held Out for Two Hours and Then Surrendered. Boers Robbed the Dead, in Spito cf Delarey's Protests. London, March 5.—Telegrams received here from Klerksdorp, describing the Boer attacks upon and capture of 4f>7 British soldiers who were acting as convoy to an empty wagon train at a point southwest of Klerksdorp, Feb. 24. show that Gen. Delarey laid his plans with consummate care and precise knowledge of the ground. The third Boer attack ui>on the con voy was delivered from various point« and was most determined. By sheer recklessness they sought to ride down and overwhelm the British defence. Tile British guns shelled the charging Boers hut nothing stopped their onslaught, which was delivered with unusual im petus. The convoy mules were sub jected to a heavy (ire and in many cases they were deserted by the native drlv ers. They stampeded, put many of tie defenders temporarily out of atcion and caused the wildest confusion. For two hours the British held out. They then divided and were over whelmed. A few minutes of confused lighting and all was over. The Boers galloped along the line, firing at every man who showed the slightest tendency to resist, until th^y reached and cap tured the guns. In the extreme rear the Northumberland Fusiliers, who hail been cut otT. succeeded in fighting their way out for some distance. When their ammunition became exhausted they charged with bayonets, but were speed ily overpowered. By 7 o’clock In the morning all re sistance was at an end. The dead and wounded were scattered all over the field. Broken wagons and panic stricken horses and mules made a scene of Indescribable confusion. Not until Gen. Delarey came In jterson was anything like order restored. He stopped the Boers w/lo were engaged in stripping the British wounded, by the free use of a sjambok, but they con tinued the work of despoiling directly his back was turned. The students and workingmen of St. Pe tersburg are secretly preparing for a monster demonstration to take plan, March 7, in front of the Kazan cathedral. They hope to get Sn.OM men through the military cordons and reach the center of the city. WAITT BOND BLACKSTONE CIGARS 'Warranted dear Havana Filler and Sumatra Wrapper.

PRINCE HENRY (Continued from page 1.) was unique. His special train arrived at 4 o’clock and at 10 o'clock it was away again on the long run to Niagara and New England. The intervening time was all given over to the pleasure of the royal visitor. It began with a drive through business and residential districts before a crowd which num bered 200,000. Then there was a public reception at which Gov. Robert LaFol lette and Mayor David S. Rose voiced the official welcome and the United Singing Societies Sang in chorus. There was also a splendid illumination and a night run by the Milwaukee fire depart ment. Later there was a banquet at which the prince met the leading citi zens of the city and the state. The thousands of Germans resident in Milwaukee Joined heartily in the welcome of the ybiing prince and vet erans of the German wars ’gathered from throughout the state to assist in the reception. The prince was then driven through illuminated streets to the Hotel Pfei ster. where the banquet was served. Hundreds of buildings were outlined in light and high upon the tower of the City hall in incandescent lights were the words' "Welcome to H. R. H. Prince Henry.” Especially pretty was the lightipg of the court of honor on Grand avenue. When the prince was driven through the court, the chimes in the tower of St James Episcopal church played the national airs of the United States and Germany and Luther's Hymn. Crowds thronged the streets during the evening with the Hotel Pfeister as the common objective. The special train bearing the prince and his party came from Chicago over the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad and there was an enormous crowd at the depot. There was a cheer when the prince appeared and another louder than the first when when he reached his car riage outside the depot grounds. Mayor Rose and Admiral Evans entered his carriage and, flanked by police and guarded by troopers of the 1st Wis. Cav„ the drive through the city began. Ambassador Von Holleben and Assist ant Secretary of State Hill rode in the second carriage with Capt. Frederick Pabst, chairman of the reception com mittee. Just outside of the depot 1000 veterans of the German wars were drawn up. Prince Henry was given the honor of riding in the tirst carriage to cross the new Grand A venue-Wisconsin street bridge and, as this point was reached. Battery A, stationed on the lake front, fired a salute of 21 guns. The reception was wildly enthusiastic and there was an ovation when he en tered the Exposition building. As he appeared on the stage escorted by his staff and the reception committee, the chorus of 60 voices sang “Das Deutsc hes Lied.” There were 10.000 persons packed in the Exposition building. Chairman John Johnson briefly intro duced Mayor Itose. who formally wel comed the prince. The mayor gave way to ex-Congressman I’. V. Deuster, who spoke on behalf of the German resi dents and in their tongue. Gov. La Follette then weleomed the prince to Milwaukee on behalf of the state. Capt. Emil Court also spoke in German. The great chorus sang again and the prince left the hall amid cheers. The fire run followed the public re ception and it made a spectacle that was both novel and exciting. Thirty two pieces of apparatus, marshalled by Fire Chief Foley, were raced for a mile at high speed They ran two abreast and 200 feet apart. Darkness had come and the engine lights made the picture all the more inspiring. The prince was a guest at a banquet given at Hotel Pfelster by the citizens of Milwaukee, tonight. It lasted about two hours. The decorations of the ban quet hall were very elaborate. A min iature of the German yacht Hohenzol lern in flowers was suspended from the center of the hall. The toasts to the President of the United States and to the Emperor of Germany were drunk while the orchestra played the national airs of the respective countries. These were followed by the toast. “Prince Henry of Prussia.” The prince re sponded as follows: "Gentlemen: I will occupy your at tention for but a few minutes, ns I am a trifle hoarse, having lost something In this country, namely, my voice, which I hope, however, to regain. It is a pleasure to me to thank you for the hearty welcome you have offered me in this lovely, handsome and sympathetic city of yours, the principal city of Wis consin and famous for its thrift and Industry. I have heard It acknowl edged by you as well as by others, that the development of Milwaukee is due largely to the German clement amongst your citizens—a statement which tills my heart with pride and gladness, in asmuch as I look upon this German element as one of the strongest ties be tween Germany and the United States. I doubt not that those of German de scent will be, in the future as in the past, a credit to the country which they proudly call their home. "The merits of the city of Milwau kee are known, its industrial products are recorded—not so, however, with one point which I could not help noticing in passing through the crowded streets of the city, today—in brief, the charm ing. handsome, sweet and pretty faces belonging to the over-fair sx, which are abundant in this city. Allow me to drink to the health and prosperity of the lovely city of Milwaukee.” At the conclusion of Prince Henry's remarks Mayor Bose presented to Prince Henry an elegantly bound al bum containing photographs of Mil waukee's public buildings and some of the beautiful residences of the city. Prince Henry left for the East at 10 o'clock on a special train. A large crowd greeted him as he took his fare well. Berlin. March 4.—Emperor William. In stead of being displeased with the tele gram of Miss Alice Roosevelt concern ng the launching of the meteor, as some of the English newspapers aver, beoanse of It* familiar tone, was very much pleaded with it. A member of the cabinet relates that after an audience with the Emperor on Feb. 26. official business having been finished be was about to leave whan the Kaiser remarked: "l must show you the charming telegram I have just received from Miss Alice JRooseveli.’’ To other members of his entourage the Etnpemr jins also expressed his pleasure over this telegram tjM) has praised it* natural and unconstrantM form.

He said: “His Majesty is in the highest degree j pleased with Prince Henry’s reception from his arrival in America until now i and especially with that accorded t»» him by President Roosevelt and his family. The Emperor has also expressed himself as delighted with the enthusiasm of the I welcome to his brother.” The German newspaper m«*n are im mensely impressed with Prfrnce Henry’s bearing toward the newspaper men ol the United States and believe that the j Emperor's reception of the inline nee of the press on national opinion in the Unit ed States wnl favorably affect the rela th ms of the crown to the home press. Herr Bachem, the editor of the Cologne Volks Zeitung. in an artic le in which !*e intimates tin* previous conclusion, con trasts the social and political positions of editors here and in the United States, where newspaper men are selected to serve as cabinet ministers and ambassa dors, not because they are better educat ed or more able, but, Herr Bachem says, because they receive higher salaries. He thinks the visit will not modify the aspi rations of the* United States which it is conceded are. first, to break into Euro pean markets while excluding Europe from its own markets and. second, to di vide the mastery of the seas with Great Britain. Boston, March 4.—During his visit to this city. Prince Henry will be* given a Masonic emblem of much value. The souvenir will be presented during the banquet at the Hotel Somerset. The do nor is Mrs. P. C. Goodwin, who wishes, as a “typical American woman,” to pre sent the gift as an expression of Ameri can good will to Germany. The emblem is in the form of a square and compass. It was made in California. The gold alone and the diamonds with which it is studded are said to be valued at $10,000. The gold for the emblem is from a nug get found by Mrs. Goodwin’s husband while a “Forty-niner.” Mr. Goodwin was for years a Mason and for 15 years grand treasurer of Connecticut. Mrs. Goodwin has made the fraternity many valuable gifts from time to time. ONE DEAD—ONE SAVED. Sad Ending of Two Brothers’ Fishing Trip Near St. John. St. John. N. B.. March I.—A sad tal reached the city, this afternoon, from the 1 Ken neboccasis river, five miles out of town. Two brothers. Townsend and Ru dolph Logan, the former :!2. the latter a little older, left their home here, this morning, for the river to li.sh at a cove near Kennebeccasis island. They took a flat-bottomed boat, hauling it across the ice and launching it where open water was met. They had made good progress and were in the boat when two huge pieces of ice bore down upon them. Seeing that their boat was doomed, they jumped. Townsend could not swim, but tried to cling to the Ice wilh the aid of a boat hook. His brother, who could swim, j went to his aid and helped him to the boat, which had been badly damaged by the ice; but their weight finished the W’ork of destruction and the boat broke to pieces. Townsend Sana and was drowned. Ru dolph managed to reach the ice. but while struggling was crushed by two other pieces of ice which caught him at chest and back. He lay exhausted on the ice for half an hour and then fought his way a mile to land, falling twice into the wa ter oil the way. He was cared for and brought home. The Greenville Woolen Co., a 40 loom plant, engaged in the manufac ture ofS woolen and worsted goods at (Providence, R. I„ has as a result of the accumulation of unsold goods, made an assignment. No statement of assets or liabilities has been made, but It is understood that they aggregate less than $50,000, and that the com pany has resources far in excess of that amount. Richard Waterhouse ot the Greenville Go., made the assign ment to W. A. Guile of Providence. It is considered probable that the mill will lie continued in deration with out much delay. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Meet at New Haven—Much Important Business to Come Up. New Haven, Conn., March 4.—Unusual interest attached to the national con vention of the Knights of Columbus which began here, today, in view of the fact that the new constitution framed at the last session of the Na tional Council of the order was to be submitted for adoption. The change of insurance rates and the clause in the new constitution barring more rigidly than before from membership in the order, persons directly connected with the liiiuor traffic, have already given rise to much discussion and the con vention was expected to give these mat ters especial consideration. The change in insurance rates has been in force for two months, but a movement has recently been inaugurated in this state to have the level rate of insurance re duced to members who have reached tlie age of GO and it was thought prob able that this movement would find strong expression in the convention. The 70 delegates who assembled at 10 o’clock represent most of the states and Canada. Edward L. Hearn of South Framingham, Mass., supreme knight of the order, called the delegates to order, and after the preliminary business was ended, presented his an nual address.

RAILROADS SURPRISED, 'nterstatc Commerce and Sherman Lawe Will Be Enforced. Chicago, March 4.—President Roose velt has Riven the railroad manage ments of the entire country to under stand that the interstate commerce and the Sherman laws will be enforced to the letter, says the Record-Herald. The information has been conveyed through the medium of the interstate commerce commission, and it is understood that the administration will not favor any amendment to the law until the present laws have been enforced and the re sult noted. The Record-Herald asserts that the new order of things has caused con sternation among the executive officials of roads centering In Chicago and all are engaged in the work of "cleaning house.” Hurried consultations have resulted in the decision that all as sociations and organizations which are in violation of the laws involved must be done away with and every effort made to show the commission that the roads’ purpose is handling traffic free of all pools or agreements. The first move in this direction is the dissolution of the Council Rluffs, Oma ha and Sioux City commission, of which George W. Ristine is in chearge. It is understood that the Kansas City committee will soon be dissolved. Un less the commission insists upon it, noting will be done with the western trunk line committee at present, nor with the various passenger associations which tire in violation of the Sherman law. Similar action will be taken by the lines of Chicago, and bureaus in charge of Chairman Tucker will probably be abolished. Railroad officials are not a unit re garding the character of action neces sary, but a large number of them be lieve that all organizations should be done away with. Attention is called to the fact that if everything is to be handled on tariff schedules there will be little for associations or "statistical” bureaus, as some of them tire called.

F. Goldsmith, Alpheus Spear; town clerk, Wm. P. Haskell; treasurer; THE STARVATION PLAN Of Treating Dyspepsia and 8tomacH Troubles is Useless and Unscienti^io. The almost certain failure of the starvation cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but even now a course of dieting Is generally the first thing recommended for a case of indigestion or uny stomach trouble. Many people with weak digestion, as well as some physicians, consider the first step to take in attempting to cure indigestion is to restrict the diet, either by selecting certain foods and reject ing others or to cut down the amount of food eaten to barely enough to keep soul and body together, in other words the starvation plan is by many sup posed to be the first essential. All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to a man already suffering from starvation because indigestion itself starves every organ, nerve and fibre in the body. What people with poor digestion most need is abundant nutrition, plenty of good, wholesome, properly cooked food, and something to assist the weak stomach to digest it. This is exactly the pnrjmse for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and the true reason why they cure the worst cases of stomach trou ble. Eat a sufficient amount of whole some food and after each meal take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets to promptly digest it. In this way the system is nourished aril the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not, one grain of the active digestive prin ciple in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be ing sufficient to digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs or other albuminous food. Dr. Harlandson and Dr. Redwell recommend these tablets in all cases of detective digestion because the pepsin and diastase in them are absoluVdy free from animal matter and other im purities, and being pleasant to the taste are as safe and harmless for the child as for the adult. All drug stores sell this excellent preparation, and the daily use of them after meals will be of great benefit, not only as an immediate relief but to permanently build up and Invigorate the digestive organs. 5-7 R.

Auburn has had enough experience with Democratic governments to last for another generation. Waterville deserves a vote of thanks for the decisive manner in which it stepped out of the doubtful column. Augusta, Bangor, Biddeford, Brewer and Old Town have their elections, inext Monday, while Calais waits until April. Here is a spring wail from the Lime stone city as voiced by the Star: “If there is any nastier, stickier or tougher mud anywhere in Maine than the samples Rockland citizens are carrying home afoot these days, the information will gladly be printed.” Speaking of an early spring a Rum ford Falls man remarks that, 41 years ago, he sowed wheat March 28, and 25 years ago, on the same day the roads between Rumford and Paris were dry and dusty. On the other hand, 15 years ago, Rumford people were haul ing birch out of the woods early in May and it was good sledding. York county people wonder why the knights of the wayside prefer their county jail to any other in the State, for that they do is borne out by the reports. There were 450 tramps taken care of in the various jails of Maine and of this number 150 sought tem porary retirement in York county. The movement of Minot to celebrate its centennial also interests Poland, Auburn and Mechanic Falls, towns which had their birth in common with Minot in the old plantation of Bakers t'»wn. _ .AUlfll The latest move in the practical edu cational work at Good Will is the teaching of telegraphy. Half a dozen buildings are now connected and in struments placed in them. This addi tion to the equipment of the home fs the gift of a New York philanthropist. Almost everything that is unseason able, extravagant and unpoetlcal, not to mention other characteristics, is ex pected of spring poets and pardoned in them, but when a Maine verse-wright manufacturers a f«oem which rings in several times the expression "spring-, time's golden sheen," the limit is* reached. That, in the words of the late lamented Artemus Ward, "is too much,' too much." If there is qny descriptive phrase which doesn't apply to spring it is "goiden sheen." To be sure, thej struggling poet thought he needed it for purposes of rhyme with "green." He simply had to write a spring poem" and he had only two or three minutesj |we judge, to do it in. Moreover, he had lost his rhyming dictionary, so It isn't fair to judge him harshly. *j The annual town report of Farming dale contains a unique feature for a publication of this kind, and one which cannot fail to be of much local inter est. It is a complete table of the valu ation of all the real and personal es tate of the town, and the taxes as sessed against each property holder, resident and non-resident, for 1901. The town fathers made a complete val uation of the property and estates, a difficult and thankless task, and the results are put in this form where all may see and read. It is a good idea. The Pleasant Point Indians who took the two whales into captivity have doubtless been cheered by the news that whale oil Is a scarce article and In consequence there is a brisk demand atj a priori pH op. Wv,.r nor’laps, since the eailiest days of the fishery has the quantity of sperm oil been so small as at the commencement of the present year. On Jan. 1, lsot, there were 3420 barrels sperm, and of "bone." 108,OCO IH>unds. For tjie 31 years ending with 1001 the average quantity of sperm oil on hand. Jan. 1, was 12.1G1 barrels, and of baleen, 220,38? pounds. At the com mencement of 1002 theie was not a bar rel of whale oil on hand. At the be ginning of 1001 the stock on hand was 1000 barrels, while the average stock on hand for the 31-year period men tioned was 7030 barrels.

Quite Serious. •Though ‘brevity’s the soul of wit,’ Remarked the busted sport, ’1 really cannot see a bit Of fun in being short.” Mere Opinion. It’s a good rule that works your way all the time. Perhaps the goose that laid the gold en egg got discouraged because it dropped on her toe. The way of the transgressor may be hard, but that of his victim is general ly a little worse. Some of the people who talk so much are merely trying to keep the world from finding out that they have little to say.

Day. (Copyright, 1901, Walter B. Guild). They started me as hog-reeve an' 1 'tended to it so That the voters kind o’ reckoned that I'd better have a show: An’ so they done their duty when March meetin’ came around An' put me in field-driver an’ the keeper of the pound. I continnercd jest as faithful,—done the very best 1 could,. An' next I was elected as a measurer of wood. An’ though I liain't a boaster, still it's only fair to say I did my honest duty in a square an’ careful way. An’ the voters they took notice, as they later clearly showed. By electin’ me, unanimous, surveyor of the road. With matters cornin' that way, there was some in town as said How prob’ly I'd be showin’ that the honors swelled my head. But 1 'tended right to bus'ness, jest as modest as could be. An' the voters then, by thunder, made a constable of me. I never tried to git it—never even shed my coat, But they giv’ it to me solid by the reg'lar party vote, An' since I’ve been in office I have tend ed so to biz' That there hain't a town around here that's so peaceful 's our'n is. Alt' now it's bein' whispered that the next town-meetin' plan Is to boost me clear to glory as our F'rst S'lec'man. Yass'r, First S'lec'man! —Makes me shrink a bit, I swan! But I reck'n that I'll take it an' I'll uo the best I can; Though I've realized completely since I've come to serve my town, “Cneasy lies the head that wears a crown." It's a pretty tetchy office—bein' First S'lec'man! An' it keeps ye on the hustle from Beer sheby clear to Dan; But 1 wouldn't swap the honor for the high an' mighty throne Of the Czar of all the Rooshys—for I've earnt it sole alone. It hain't no special credit for a man to hold his sway Jest simply ’cause it happened he was born in that 'ere way. He can act as mean as I’ooduc but he cannot dodge the thing, —It has simply been predestined that he's got to be a king. But when an humble citizen, commencin' clear, 'way down. Has worked through ev'ry office to the highest one in town. An' hasn't slopped nor bungled, an' has always pleasdd the crowd. There's really some excuse for him in 'actin' kind o' proud. An' when I git elected I can feel it s wholly due •fo the fact my foier-eitizens do want me, honest true. I can go about my duties an' direct the town's advance An' never need to drfns myself in armor plated pants. I'll need no standin' army, no detectives an' no guard. Nor be afeard that dynamite will bust up my front yard. So, the job of Czar of Rooshy or of Emp'ror of Japan Hain't no ways to my thinkin', like the Job of First S lee'man. Yass'r, First S'lec'man! —I ll serve, if that's the plan. I'll administer as honest an' as prudent as I can; An' 1 b'lieve that when I've finished. I can prove to all our town. That. "Easy lies the head that wears a crown!"
