Judge Charges That Fogg’s Story Alone Will Not Convict. Question: “Is His and Other Stories Sufficient to Do So?’’ Ellsworth, Me., July 24.—The jury in the Treworgy murder case, at 5.20 this afternoon, left the court room to deliberate upon the evidence sub mitted during the past 10 days and decide upon a verdict. The Judge’s charge, which closed the case, occu pied an hour and a half, during which the evidence was summed up and the law in the case clearly expounded. In his chaige the judge said that I'ogg's story unsupported would not warrant conviction. On the other hand, the evidence of the other wit nesses if unsupported would not war rant a conviction. What the jurors have to determine is whether the evi dence of Fogg taken together with that of the other witnesses is enough to convince them beyond a reasonable doubt that Treworgy is guilty of the murder with which he is charged. The judge charged the jurors that it was not enough for the State to show that the respondent had assisted in moving the body to convict him of murder, but that it must show that he killed the woman. The charge was generally regarded as favorable to the defence. At midnight the jury was still out and at this time the judge retired, leaving word that if a verdict was reached that it be sealed and returned to the court in the morning. Mr. Fellows, counsel for the defence, concluded his argument, this morning, speaking an hour and a half. He cen sured the State for not producing the hammer and piece of canvas which figure in the case, and for not bring ing forward the report of the chemist who examined the stains on these two articles. He criticised the State for presenting Sarah Ware's skull as evi dence, because he claimed it was not in the same condition as it was when found. The rest of his argument, Mr. Fellows devoted to the ar raign menf of the witnesses for' the State and the discussion of their evidence. He par ticularly questioned the veracity of Fogg and. joe Mink. Attorney General Solders had not concluded his argument at the noon tecess and he spoke until after 1 o'clock, this afternoon, going into the case at great length. He said in open ing that it was a pleasure to try this case because there had been so much talk about it and so much criticism of the State for rrt»t. trying it that, it was a pleasure for him to help clear lit up and set the idle tongues at rest. He then said that this murder was committed four years ago in September and there had been coroner’s juries, grand juries and the municipal court pass upon it and nothing had resulted. The demand was for a thorough in vestigation and this was why the State was trying the case. The attorney general thin wont in to the law c.n the case and then be gan an analysis of the evidence. He said Sarah Ware had left the Miles house to go to John Buiduo's place and had been seen to go there and leave there and was seen by some wit nesses when part way home. Then the attorney general took up the evi dence of Mrs. I’olin. Mrs. McGinnis and Mrs. Hess, who testified to hear ing outcries that night near the Hess house. This in ilsoif removes all sus picion from George Yil'S. as it proves beyond a doubt that tho murder was committed near tho Hess honsij and not where the body was afterwards found. Two weeks after this night tho body was discovered in the Nicholson pas ture. The character of the place was such that it proved it had been care fully selected by some one who was familiar with the country and with the approaches to this field. It is evi dent that the person had been there in the daytime and carefully picked out his road. There was no appear ance of there having been any strug gle at this place and there was no aider hushes growing in that place that this man had driven through to reach tho place where the body was found. „r., —t——...I—. Peon found then' with whii'h the wounds on the womans head had been committed. Under the hip had hern found her hat and under her body a false switch of hair, and the attorney general explained how these came to be there. The grass was trodden down around the foot of the body, showing that the murderer came there after depositing the body in that place, drawn by that irresistible attraction to look uron the features of the woman he had slain. And there he had deposited a stone near the body to give the impression that this had been used in doing the slaying. The attorney general took up Joseph Fogg s testimony, saying that in some things he agreed with the defence about it. Unsupported, this evidence should not he considered, but he claimed that every statement Fogg had made was supported by the evidence, i So strong was the evidence in support of Fogg's story that the jury must be lieve it to he true. He said there was no doubt that force had been brought to bear on Fogg and his wife to induce them to retract their stories. One thing which proved that Fogg had helped r-nve the body as he says he did was when he was told the body had beer discovered he started right off for the place without being told where it had been found. Another thing which if j (Continued on page 2.) Fresh Huyler’s in pound and hall pound boxes, received, this week, at Partridge's, opposite post office.

But Engineer Used Bell and Whistle at Old Orchard. Old Orchard, Me., July 24.—The in quest in the case of the two men, C. F. and W. F. Mills, who were killed by a train at the race track crossing, Fri day. was concluded, today, yith the exception of one witness who will tes tify, Saturday, when the decision will ■probably- Tie rendered. A number of trainmen testified, today, that the crossing was a private one and that no whistling orders are given. The whistling posts that formerly stood there were removed, two years ago. The engineer testified that the train was moving at the rate of about 50 miles an hour, and that he did whistle and ring his bell for the Old Orchard station 300 feet east of the crossing. Joseph Vallee of Waterville, the driver of the team, stated that he was trotting ins horse as he approached the track and that no one in the team said anything by way of warning to him. He neither heard nor saw the train until he was between the two tracks. Then it was too late to do anything but try to start the horse, so, if possible, to clear the second track before the train could reach them. This was what he tried his best to do. It will be re membered that Charles Palmer testi fied at the opening of the Inquest, that the horse came almost to a complete stop just before reaching the track and that some word of warning was given Vallee.

July 24.—(Special).— A w friends of the Good Will Home Association of sending a definite contribution to our treasury at the beginning of each month has proved a great help to our finances. Of course it is easy to be seen that a sufficient num ber of monthly payments would provide entirely for the expenses of the year. It does not seem to be an tas.v matter to persuade a largo number, however, to 1 adopt this method. 1 suspect that the I reason for this slowness it that others do not understand the real satisfaction which those who have already adopted i tms plan find In it. 1 recommend that ns manv of our friends as t-ossible l>e persuaded to adopt the monthly payment method of aiding Good Will, whether the (Continued on page 2.) HON. WM. J. BRYAN Spoke to a Big Crowd, Thurs 1 day, at Nantasket. Senator Carmack and Hon, E. M. Shepard Also Among Speakers. Mr. Bryan Leave* in Evening for Visit to Maine. Nantasket, Mass., July 24.—In a great tent on the shore of Massachusetts bay, for hours, today, a throng of men and not a few women listened to distin guished orators from various parts of the United States as they delivered ad dresses on political issues of the day from a Democratic standpoint. After speechmaking followed a banquet, the first to be given by the recently organ ized Now England Democratic League, in the Rockland hotel, at which about 300 were present. The entire program was intended to give the league, the membership of which embraces many of the leading Democrats of New England, and the purpose of which is to bring about Democratic harmony in the section to which its name refers, a fitting intro duction to the public. To this end the list of speakers was made as notable as possible and the league was able to present Hon. P. A'. Collins, forrper consul general to Lon don and now mayor of Boston, as pre siding officer, and Wm. J. Bryan, twice Democratic Presidentialcandidate; Ed ward M. Shepard of New York, recent Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City; and Senator Carmack of Tennessee, one of the leading Demo crats of the upper branch of the Na tional Legislature, to make addresses. but he sent a letter Instead. It has been many weeks since the banquet was first projected, and there has been no relaxation in the efforts of the promoters to make the event one of the most successful of its kind in this section. The co-operation of per manent members of the party in every New England state was readily given and from other sections of the country came unmistakable evidence of the in terest felt in the affair. When the ban quet committee was able to announce that Mr. Bryan and Senator Carmack would be among the speakers, many expressions of satisfaction and con gratulation were received. From the first the committee tried to keep constantly before those interested the fact that the league did not pro pose to boom any candidate for the Presidency. To quote Secretary Henry F. Hollis: “The New England League Ir simply organized to harmonize all Democrats and to conduct the congres sional campaign in every one of the New England states. We expect to elect a Democrat in ex-Speaker Reed’s district in Maine and also to get one district in Rhode Island. There will be no issue of silver or gold.” The hour scheduled for the banquet was 1 ofclock and it was planned that the public exercises should begin an hour and a half later. The distin guished guests did not reach Boston until this forenoon, coming on the Fed eral express at 7 o'clock. A committee met'them at the station and escorted them to an uptown hotel. For an hour or more following break fast, Mr. Bryan was “at home” to a few friends at the hotel. There was no public reception, and at 10 o’clock Mr. Bryan went to Tremont Temple to address the Newsboys’ Protective Association. The other members of the party occupied the time in various ways and shortly after 11 o’clock, un der escort of the committee, the vis itors went to the steamboat wharf to embark for the trip to Nantasket. The trip down the harbor was made on one of the regular Nantasket steamers, starting from Boston at 11.20. On the arrival there the party proceeded at once to the Rockland House. The banquet was served at 1.10, those participating marched into the dining hall with Mayor Collins and Mr. Bryan in the lead. Among those present be sides the guests of honor were: Con gressmen Griggs of Georgia: Thayer Conry and Naphen of Massachusetts: ^-Congressman Cable of Illinois; and Fitzgerald, O’Neil and Williams of Massachusetts: Lewis Nixon, New, York: S. W. Gould, Skowhegan. Me.; Fred’k W. Plaisted, Augusta, Me.: S. W. Hammond, Minnesota: Harrington Emerson. Pennsylvania; Wm. Good year. Colfax, Washington: Calvin E. Reach. New York; Rev. A. A. Derle. Bridgton. Immediately after the dinner tho company proceeded to the tent for tha speechmaking. A great throng had aothered there, the tent Itself accom hiodating more than 2500. The guests were conducted to seats on the platform and the assembly call ed to order without delay. President Geo. E. Hughes of the league, intro duced Mayor Collins as chairman. Mayor Collins made a brief address and concluded his remainder by read ing letters from Hon. George S. Bout well of Massachusetts, and Senator Bailey of Texas. Speeches were made by Senator Car mack of Tennesee. and Hon. Edward M. Shepard, before Hon. W. J. Bryan, the drawing card of the occasion, was introduced. THE KING’S CONDITION.

Sincere, Heartfelt and Patriotic Wel come from 15,000 People. Compliment* the Guardsmen and Gives Them Good Advice. Seagirt, N. J., July 24.—No Presi dent ever ‘received a more sincere, heartfelt and patriotic welcome than that accorded, today, to President Roosevelt by the people of New Jersey. From the time he landed on New Jersey soil at the Atlantic Highlands pier, at 10.35 this afternoon, until h left in his launch for the war yacht Mayflower, at 3.15, he was the recipient of a eontinuous ovation. The^ President, on invitation of Gov. Franklin Murphy, visited the encamp ment of the 2d Brigade of the National Guard of the state at Seagirt. Ac companied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. W. Em len Roosevelt, Miss Christine Roose velt and Assistant Sec. Loeb, the President left Sagamore Hill at 7 o'clock, this morning, and boarded the Mayflower. The run to Atlantic Highlands was made by the Mayflower in five hours, and at 10.30, the Presi dent and his party landed, being greet ed by Gov. Murphy. t pon the arrival at Seagirt, Presi dent Roosevelt and Gov. Murphy and staff reviewed the troops in camp, the President being mounted on a mag nificent chestnut bay which he sat perfectly. At the conclusion of the review Mr. Roosevelt was escorted to a stand adjoining the parade ground and there addressed a multitude of! ne_arly 15,000. rresiaeni rtooseveit openeu ms speech by complimenting the New Jersey Guardsmen upon their soldierly and business like appearance. Con tinuing, he said: “I earnestly hope and believe you never will get into battle, but if you do, it is going to bo mighty important to hit the other fel lows and you are going to be able to do it largely in consequence of the way you have put in your time, knowing your rifle. “I think, gentlemen, that much help can be given to the new guards of the states by the action of the United States government. I want to see the National Guard armed with the best and most modern weapons. 1 am happy to say that a bill has passed the House which will enable the national government materially to aid the Na tional Guard of the different states. At the next session I firmly believe that we will get it through the Sonata and then I can guarantee the signature of the President. “X think that our people have not always appreciated the debt they were' under to the National Guard. Always in our history it has been the case, as it will be in the future, that if war should arise, it is to be met mainly by the citizen soldier—the volunteer soldier. We have, in the regular army, officered as it is and filled with the type of enlisted men, an army which I firmly believe for its size, is un equalled in the civilized world, and I am sure that I can challenge the most generous support from the National Guard for the regular army of the United States. "The same qualities that make a man a success, and that make him dc his duty decently and honestly in a National Guard regiment, are funda mentally the qualities that he needs to make him a good citizen in private life. j "No doubt some of you were in the Spanlsh-American war.” A voice in the crowd: "Yes. many of us.” "The only trouble with that war was that there was not enough war to go around.” A voice: "You pot your slice. "I did,” continued the President. I was one of the lucky ones.” “Just as it Is in the army so it is in citizenship. If you are content to go through life waiting for a chance to be a hero you may wait and the chance may not come. The way to be a good citizen is to do the ordinary, everyday humdrum work that comes to citizenship. “I plead with you to do your duty as National Guardsmen and as citizens. Do your duty, day by day—the com mon. ordinary duties which, when done, make, in their sum, the citizenship, of the nation.” At 3.15 the Presidential party re turned to the Mayflower.

Close Finishes and Sensational Time at Cleveland, Three Favorites and /n Outsider Win —One Record Lowered. Old Saugus Track Slow—Aley Win* Five-Heat Race. Cleveland. Ohio, July 24.—Three favorites and an outsider won at the Grand Circuit meeting:, today, the races being: characterized either by close fin ishes are sensational time. Darwin was the selection for the opening race, the 2.U trot, and Lord Marsh was the spe nd choice. The showing made by the Geers entry In the first two heats caused a break of the money toward him. He was all In after the first half of the third mile had been raced and then caught the flag on the next trip. Wentworth loomed up in the third heat and was able to outfoot Darwin, always the contender. Daphne Dallas was made the favor ite in the 8.11 pace, with Dick See as a strong second. The pace was terrific all the way and all seemed lost to the Dallas mare after she was nosed out of the third heat. She chased Cas conda out in the fourth heat and then won in the fifth by beating him in the stretch. Favorite Anseila clipped a second off her record to win the initial heat of the 2.10 trot and related in exactly the same time. There was a hard fight for the place. Gronline was a strong favorite for the 2.17 pace and he was never in real dan ger at any time in the two trips. Frank Erwin, driver of You Bet in the 2.11 pace, was unseated in the third heat, but was put back again for the next one. Attendance, 10,000.

Dr. Crocker dressed the wound. The farmers who harvested their hay during last week may consider themselves as luckily escaping the damaging weather of the present week. Reports come in of quite extensive loss from the rain and cloudy days of late and some bright, hot days are earnest ly wished for by those who have their hay still out. The recent rain has about finished the cherry crop this season, as the fruit cracks after rain and loses its good ness. The crop this year was the best for several years past, both in quantity and quality. One large crop was that of the city clerk, who had gathered from his trees more than four bushels of prime fruit.

Just before the Horatio Hall was docked, yesterday afternoon, a tele phone message was sent to the police headquarters for officers to report im mediately at the boat to take charge of three passengers charged with lleec ing another passenger out of some money. Inspector Fiekett and Turn key Messure went down to investigate the matter. It seems that complaint was made to the officers of he boat during the trip by the supposed victim, but they considered that it was a case for others than themselves to decide, so the docking of the boat was delayed until the arrival of the officers, who took all concerned to police headquar ters. The four men were stylishly dressed and showed no indication of being “sharpers." The story at the station was in substance as follows: That during the night when the boat was coming through Long Island Sound the quartet began a game of draw poker which lasted all night.

If it seems hard to spend the sum mer in the city at work, just think of the fate of those who have gone to the seashore. There are a lot of morals to be drawn from the latest phase of the malodor ous Yohe-Strong affair, but it does no good to draw them. Alberto Santos-Dumont has arrived in this country, but his best airship cannot sail half as far from the earth as a Democratic orator can from the facts. The arguments of the ''anti-imperial ists" are fully as consistent and logi cal its would be one that the escape of Outlaw Tracy proves the failure of our form of government. It is unfortunate that through some mix-up of the timetables, ex-President Cleveland failed to connect with the Bryan party and consequently is not with it in its Maine tour, today. Says Senator Galiinger of New Hampshire: “Our friends on the other side are looking for an issue. They need not worry. The issue is looking for them. Prosperity is the issue, and all other questions are secondary.” Ex-Chief of Police “Bill" Devery has pretty well supplanted Croker as the Democratic boss of New York. He is unquestionably a good man for the place, and bis activity will be a ma terial help to the reform forces in the metropolis. In his Nant.iskct speech, yesterday. Mr. Bryan explained how he was de feated in 1£96. The Republican party won. he declared, by coercion and in timidation! This is important, if true, and writers of history will govern themselves accordingly. Dull thuds will lie heard in the land, today. Here in Maine they will be given by the visitor from Nebraska to the cause of Democratic harmony. On the Pacific slope they will be given by Professors Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, each upon the adamantine cranium of the other. Hryan says the Democracy can win if it appeals to the people upon a platform they can understand and with an organization that can be trusted. But there is the rub. The public re fuses to trust tiie Democratic 'organi sation, though it understands the plat form well enough. The republic is doomed! This sol emn secret which has been carefully guarded by a select few is being let out and elaborated upon in Mr. Bry an's speeches. If, us he asserts, only the Di mocratic party stands between the country and a yawning chasm, it is highly probable that the country will give a vigorous push. Senator Carmack of Tennessee is no end of a humorist when he turns him self loose. In his Nantasket speech he kept his face straight while he said that Democracy appeals to the people by the principles of Abraham Lincoln and of all the founders of the Republi can party. Pretty soon the Democrats will add the birthdays of Fremont, Lincoln. Grant, Hayes. Garfield. Blaine, and McKinley to those of Jefferson. Jackson and Jefferson Davis which they now celebrate and will point to Washington as the real founder of their party and their particular patron saint. I Bachelors and Spinsters. At what age does a man become a bachelor and at what age dpes a wo man become an old maid?' It is a pretty delicate question, particularly the latter part of it. It is all veri well to say that a man is as old as he feels and a woman as old as she looks, and that on this basis only is it safe to speak of “old” bachelors and “old" maids. But prosaic, unromantic, un merciful Uncle Sam, in making up his interesting census tables, establishes the arbitrary limit of 20 years, and makes the official ruling that all men of greater age than this shall be classed as bachelors and all women as spinsters. Officially “old maids” are unknown, but “spinsters” is the term used. Perhaps there is a bairn in it pot in the more commonly used ex pression. There are probably not a few men and women over 20, in fact, not a few million of them, who will object to being classed as bachelors and spinsters just, because they hap pen to be unmarried. They are stiii “boys” and girls” or “young men” and "young women” until they are 20 or 35, anyway, but those who compile the census statistics have no respect for delicate sensibilities, and so the age of 20 must stand as the official limit beyond which the unmarried are bachelors and spinsters. And having established thi3 limit the makers of the census tabulations give us a lot of interesting information, as is seen in the article published else where in this issue. In the tvhole country there are, or were in June, 1900. no fewer than 2,531,333 more un married males than females over 20 years of age. Taking people of all ages and conditions there are l.SOO.OOO more males than females in the country. This is a condition of things peculiar to America, for in the countries of Europe there are more women than men. It is difficult to see why there should be any old maids in America— real old maids, we mean, not official old maids—when there is so much available male matrimonial material. Probably it is safe to assert that any woman who wants a husband can have one. Many women, however, are inclined to be too particular in the matter, many others are indifferent and a small minor ity really prefer single blessedness and try to escape the unjust odium which clings to the term “old maid” by call ing themselves "bachelor maids.” In only one state in the whole Union, according to the census tables, are there more unmarried women than men over the age of 20. That state is Indiana and it is difficult to under stand just how it acquires this dis tinction. Perhaps the Indiana girls— but no. even at this safe distance we will not be so ungallant as to intimate anything unkind concerning them. Perhaps there is a mistake in the tabulation, anyway. In every other state there are more bachelors than spinsters, though in a dozen states, all of them in the eastern section, there are more females than males in the total population. In our own State, as the article points out, there are G0.87S bachelors to 43,790 old maids, so that if an uncontrolable matrimonial fever should suddenly seize them all there would be a surplus of 17,000 bachelors left over to be ra filed off among the widows and the girls less than 20 years of age. But read the article yourself. It is full of food for reflec tion, and in it the hopeless should find abundant hope. Since Dr. Koch astounded the medi cal world by declaring that human beings cannot contract tuberculosis from cattle, various scientists have been at work to prove him wrong. One of them. Dr. Garmault, has com pleted personal experiments which seem to prove that such infection is possible though difficult enough to make the risk comparatively inconsid erable. He succeeded in innoeulating himself from tuberculous cattle, but il was only after much effort. However, his sacrifice is hardly necessary, for whether or not tuberculous cattle can communicate tuberculosis to human beings they are nevertheless diseased cattle and are not fit for use in any capacity. Not so many years aso it would have been "truckling to the eftete despotism of Europe” for an American ilisen to accept a foreign decoration. Now the distribution of 300 decora tions here by Emperor William in honor of his brother’s visit will arouse no comment of that kind, except per haps as some political demagogue seeks to use it as a text for a tirade. Our ideas have expanded along with our international trade and our in lluence throughout the world. The decorations will be accepted as per sonal compliments, and our govern ment will not be expected to return the courtesy or have anything to do with the business. It is said that an involuntary but very perceptive shudder passed over the frame of William J. Bryan when he first heard the name of the Demo cratic nominee for Governor of Maine. It is too much like gold.” you see. In spite of the vast number of mules shipped to South Africa it is plain that Missouri has many left. The Demo crats of that state in their convention, this week, declared in unqualified terms for free silver at 16 to 1. The Rose Time. Winter lasts a live months, Spring-tide stays but one, Yellow blow the rye-fields When the rose is done. Fines are clad in Yuletide Wher the birch is bare. And the holly's greenest In the frosty air. Sorrow keeps a stone house Builded grim and gray. Pleasure has a straw thatch Hung with lanterns gay. On her petty savings Niggard Prudence thrives, Passion ere the moonset Bleeds a thousand lives. Virtue hath a warm heart— _ Folly’s dead and drowned. Friendship hath her own when Love is underground. Ahl for me the madness Of the spendthrift flower, Burning myriad sunsets In a single hour. For this is the joy of the rose; That it blows. And goes. —July Lippincott's Magazine. This is circus day in Rockland, Augusta anil Bangor. Has the trial changed your opinion in the Sarah Ware case? Only a week to August and to Old Home week. Camden proposes to celebrate August 11-15 as Old Home week. Eastern Maine wants the New York limited made a regular train through the whole year. It will lie a sad blow to the girls that the soldier boys will not have any Sun day in camp, this year. Among the many great men spend ing their vacation in Maine is George Fred Williams on the shores of Maran ocook. The Portland workingmen are al ready planning for Labor day and pro post? to have the biggest celebration on record. Next week will be home talent week at the Old Orcard pier theatre and some taking programs are being ar ranged. The coal situation is getting to be a serious one in Maine cities and it pro mises to be more so before the snow flies. There must be a scarcity of young men at Pophani. A summer girl there yawned so, this week that her jaw was dislocated and a Bath doctor had to be called down by telephone. There is a chance for Holman F. Day to give expression to the opinion of the choppers and drivers on the new regu lation of the B. A. which orders passengers to keep their feet off the seats. A North Vassalboro correspondent figures out that it would be suicidal to build an electric road from Augusta to WaterviIP on the cast side of the river and not include that village and China lake. The boys who trudge wearily through (he pasture hushes at close of day for the cows which obstinately refuse to come to tlie bars will envy that West Bath boy who brings the whole herd to the barn by a few blasts of the bugle when milking time gets round. The demand for lobsters is way above the supply, this summer, down around the mouth of the Saco. Not for years have the fishermen and dealers found it so hard to supply their orders. Machias I'nion: The probable cost of feeding a dog is not less than the cost of keeping five sheep. If every dog in Machias could be displaced by live sheep, the gain to the town the first year would be five thousand dollars, and at the close of five years would be twenty-five thousand dollars. Besides every housekeeper and lot owner who makes a garden would lx: two leagues nearer Heaven. The veteran actor: E. M. Holland has signed a contract whereby he agrees to undertake the impersonation of the character of the Pope of Home in the forecoming production of Hall Caine’s “The Eternal City.” By the way, it is not generally known that Mr. Holland’s summer home is in Maine. About a mile from East Boothliay and fronting the broad Damariscotta Kiver, Mr. Holland has built a beautiful sum mer cottage, and here he goes, as soon as his season closes, to spend as much time as possible with Mrs. Holland and his little son and daughter. one or the books of the year tor Maine is the “Life of Captain Jeremiah O’Brien of Maehias” which is now ready. Rev. Andrew M. Sherman is the author and he has done a splendid piece of work for American history. ('apt. O’Brien was the commander of ot.r first flying squadron, the improvised fleet that captured the armed British vessel Margaretta inMachiasbayaswas related in these columns this week. It was our first naval victory against th° mother country and its chief hero was a figure well worthy of being written about as Mr. Sherman has done. Ex Secretary John I>. Long in writing of him says' O'Brien's brilliant feat in capturing the Margaretta has, however, this special significance, that it was not merely the personal heroism of a single j encounter, but was the first challenge of theinfant American navy to thegiar.t and almost omnipotent naval power of I Great Britian. Independence spoke in th“ voice of its cannon and in the very j word of command of its captain. It was the first in the series of the gleri i ous victories of the Yankee sailor, and O'Brien, full Yankee though of Irish descent, deserves to rank with our j naval heroes. His career, like that of so many a sailor-man. was full of j romance. He shared the usual vicis I situdes of fortune, was taken prisoner on the sea, subjected to the horrors ol the "Jersey” prison-ship, taken ic England and incarcerated tjtere, though after a year effecting his escape. TIr story of O’Brien’s later life as a citizen, as collector of customs, and in the usual duties of a foremost man of his section is interesting. It is a type of thf strong, earnest, forceful New England character in the early days of the re public. He was evidently one of those masterful leaders who in war or peace, in the social or political arena, wen always at the' front, the recital ol whose lives is an education in strenuous citizenship and an incitement to the efficient discharge of the duties of tin patriot.” Mr. Sherman’s volume is a valuable contribution to revolutionary history and biography. It is of SO* pages with 25 illustrations and an in troduction by ex-Secretary Long. Mr. Sherman is now a resident of Morris town N. J. Sherlock Holmes, Jr. Sherlock Holmes, Jr., walked into the elegantly furnished private office, looked at the pretty stenographer, then at the gray-haired head of the firm and said: “Kxcuse me, Mr. Waddington. I have just stepped in tXinake a deduc tion or two to keep in practice. You were married before you led your pres ent beautiful wife to the altar. She is young; you love her very much; she has no cause whatever to be jealous o£ you; she is perfectly sure of the fact that you are wholly devoted to her. You and she have no children.” The dignified captain of industry looked over his glasses and asked: “Who are you, sir, and why do you take so much interest in my affairs?” “I ami Sherlock Holmes, J th» great amateur detective. As I said a mo ment ago, I came in to make a few de ductions just to keep in practice.” “You're a wonder. How do you hap pen to know my name and all the rest of the things you have told me about myself?” "Your name Is on the door here. Ah. you had forgotten that, hadn't you? I judge that your wife must be young and lovely or she would be afraid to let you have your present stenographer. An old lady who was not perfectly sure of her hold on you would make you hire a man or a very homely old maid. Ah, permit me to remove this long golden hair fromt your shoulder. This tells me that you are true to your wife. Your stenographer’s hair is brown. I heard a young man call you father just as T entered, hence I conclude that the present lovely Mrs. Waddington is mjt the only wife you have had. If you and she had a child you would of course have its photograph on your desk. Men who have children by their second wives never neglect that part of it.” Having finished, the great amateur detective put his hands into his pock ets and walked out. As he disappeared the captain of industry winked at the beautiful stenographer, who permitted a wad of gum to tumble from her mouth into the waste basket, and said: “Wouldn’t that melt the filling in your teeth!”—Chicago Record-Herald. Reflections of a Bachelor. The marriage race is not always to the fast. A loose tongue never told any girl the way to the altar. Good cooking is good enough charity for most men when it begins at home. There are pawn Shops for honor, too, though nobody ever gets much on it. Rome women measure out affection just the way they do milk and eggs for a custard. A man never loves with his reason and a woman never reasons with her love. After a man has learned to be man aged by his wife he is in a fair way to make a good husband. The time a woman begins to worry for fear her husband might get ill is when he is absolutely sound and well. A woman never gets so old that she will not sneer at the false teeth of an other if she feels sure her own won’t fall out.—New York Press. The Universal Habit. I saw her go shopping in stylish attire; As she felt Of her belt At the back. Her walk was as free as a springy steel wire, And many a rubberneck turned to admire As she felt Of her bolt At the back. She wondered it all the contraptions back there Were fastened just right—'twas an un ceasing care, So she felt Of her belt At the back. 1 saw her at church as she entered her pew; And she felt Of her belt At the back. She had on a skirt that was rustly and new And didn't quite know What the fasten ings might do. So she felt Of her belt At the back. She fidgeted round while the first prayer wits said. She fumbled about while the first hymn was read— Oh she felt Of her belt At the back. Jack told her one night that he loved her like mad; And she felt Of her belt At the back. She didh’t look sorry, she didn’t look Clad— She looked like she thought, “Well that wasn't so bad.” And she felt For her belt At the back Fut—v/ell, I didn’t think it was a great deal of harm, For what should the maiden have fbund but an arm. When she felt For her belt At the back. —Los Angeles Herald. The Post Check. A bill has been before congress to re tire the present five, two and one dollar bills and substitute notes, payable at any postoffice, which shall pass as currency. If it becomes a law it will prove as in valuable to many forms of business as Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters is to those who are weak and sickly. To such per sons this medicine will prove a blessing, because it contains cnly such ingredients .as will build up and strengthen the en tire system. It will tone up the stomach, restore the appetite and cure heartburn, belching, headache, indigestion, dyspep sia, constipation, biliousness and in somnia. Don’t fail to try it. but do not accept a substitute if you value your health. There is no medicine so good as the Bitters. For sale by druggists. Personal Notes.

Queen Alexandra of England was brought up in a very sensible mating ami learned dressmaking so thoroughly that today she could, if need were, make even some of the most elaborate of her gowns. lime. Bernhardt, in referring to the poor salaries paid by the Theatre Franeaise, said the other day: "Other theatres keep abreast of the times, but not the Franeaise. I lost 500 francs a day by staying there for my last year in the place.” The late John W. Mackay was one of the best expert gold and silver pros pectors in the United States. In the early days on the coast he was quite famous for his abilities along this line and, while unable to find "paying leads” for himself, made a living by giving expert opinions upon other peo ple’s “claims.” MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York. July 21. The violent advances in a few stocks, today, took on an upearance near the clise* characteristic of the culmination of a bull movemi lit. The dribble of specu lative liquidation which had been a feat ure of the market all day turned into a genera! and somewhat precipitate selling movement, and prices broke sharply throughout the list. With the exception ol a few stocks prices generally closed lower, the net losses for the day running from one to two points in some of the more prominent stocks. There was n news to explain the extraordinary ad vance of one or two stocks nor the sell ing cf the general list. The movement seemed to be purely techincal and due to the desire of recent large buyers of stocks to realize their profits. The early strength in the market in the grangers and Pacifies became specialized in St. Paul and Rock Island. The latter was pushed up ten points to a record figure at 200, accompanied by vague rumors of closer relations with Mexican Central, which would afford an entrance to the city of Mexico. There were also asser tions cf further large absorptions in the interest of the company and incidental valuable rights to stockholders. None of these received any formal sanction from official source. The movement in St. Paul was equally mysterious. Something was heard of a project of a Southern Securities holding company which was held to explain the strength of Louisville and Nashville. Only slight recoveries were scored from the late downward plunge of prices and the* clos ing was easy. The convertible bond is sues gave way in sympathy with stocks and the market became easy.

Its Object to Advertise Maine as t Good State to Locate. Getting Ready for the Encampment of the Guard. Hon. Philip H. Stubbs of Strong, has written an earnest letter to Governor Hill urging the establishment of an immigration bureau to constantly anti aggressively advertise Maine and its thousands of agricultural and other business openings for industrious men, and thus induce people to come here and j reoccupy our unoccupied farms. Mr. Stubbs hopes the Governor will earn estly call the attention of the next legislature to this matter, and says: “A bureau of immigration should be j established (it should have been done j years ago) headed by a man of the j greatest business capacity ami spurred on by a good salary and the kind of en terprise and zeal shown by W. W. Thomas in establishing the Swedish colony in Aroostook county and non» of our large towns or seaports that have or are receiving immigrants, should be overlooked or neglected by capable agents at work there constant ly in advertising and soliciting people to turn this way and settle in Maine. "They go West because they are in duced to by advertisements and paid j agents of Western states, railroad com panies and land speculators. They would turn our way and settle up our State (tuickly to 1,000.000 inhabitants if we would only hail them as they go by and make the least effort to have them settle in Maine. "If the State would spend $100,000 annually through an immigration bureau for five or ten years, I thin.-: we should always be glad we made the expenditure and ashamed because we did not do it 40 years ago.” Governor Hill has appointed J. P. Manning of Ellsworth and H. H. Pat ten of Bangor, as delegates to the In ternational Mining Congress to be held at Butte, Montana, Sept. 1 to 5, 1902. The next annual congress of the Na 1 ional Prison Association of the United States will be held in the city of Philadelphia Sept. 13 to 17. Governor Hill, yesterday, appointed the follow ing delegates from Maine: Hon. Wm. T. Haines, Waterville, chairman of council committee on State prison and pardons; prison inspectors. Whitman Sawyer, Portland, Wm. L. Scribner, Springfield, Albion P. Gordon, Frye burg; Ttev. Charles A. Plummer, chap lain Maine State prison; Hon. A. R. Buck, Orland, and Hon. K. W. Suth erland, Biddeford, Senate and House chairman of the prison committee of the present legislature. Yesterday Governor Hill accepted the invitation of Hon. F. O. Beal, president of the Eastern Maine State Fair Association, to at tend the fair accompanied by his staff on Wednesday, August 27, which will he Governor’s day. This is the date of President Roosevelt’s visit to the fair, and it will undoubtedly be the greatest day Bangor has ever seen. Matters were pretty lively at the office of the adjutant-general, yesterday. The military board to examine newly clected officers was in session through out the day. Col. F. H. Parkhurst of Bangor, commissary-general on the staff of the Governor, was in consultation with General Farnham and others and per fecting his arrangements for feeding the troops during encampment. Capt. Wallace A. Purnell of Gardiner, quar termaster of the Second Regiment, was in conference with his superior officers in relation to camp plans. Capt. W. R. Kimball of Bath, com manding Go. C, Second Regiment, came to arrange with General Farnham for marching his men from Bath to this city. This plan will be carried out fully and the boys will walk all the way. They will not hurry, however, as ihey will spend a portion of two days on the road, camping over Monday night and marching into camp about the time the other companies arrive by rail. The following letter has been re ceived at the executive department: To His Excellency the Governor of the State of Maine, Realizing that there is a penalty for the killing of deer, even if they destroy property, I .hereby make appeal unto you for help in the matter. I Deer have repeatedly destroyed our 'garden produce this season, and as our only means of maintenance de pends upon the sale money received j from such a source our condition is sadly maimed by the effect of this lavy. j surely" if the State prohibits a thing it j is and will be just enough to protect its citizens from such treatment, and honesty of the citizens in cases like this should he upheld and acted upon it the State itself deals justly. Most respectfully, BERNARD R- FREEMAN, Kennebunkport, Me. Funeral of the Late Mrs. Angeline A. Lilly. The funeral of the late Mrs. Angeline A. Lilly was held at the home, 2 Page street, at 1 o’clock yesterday after noon. Rev. George F.

Eryan Will Also Speak to Overflow Meeting Outdoors. Great crowds of people are expected in this city, today, to attend the Bryan meeting, and City hall will probably be jammed with men and women all eager to hear the distinguished Democratic orator. The final arrangements are completed and everything is now cer tain to transpire according to program. The meeting will begin at precisely X o'clock, and will be called to order by Thos. J. Lynch, Esq., who will call lior.. Samuel W. Gould of Skowhegan, candidate for governor, to the chair. He wilt speak briefly, and will be fol lowed by Hon. Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, or Senator Carmack of Tennes see. These gentlemen will speak until Mr. Bryan arrives at the hall, which will be somewhere about 2 o'clock, per haps earlier. The idea of having an overflow meet ing out of doors, to be addressed by Mr. Bryan while on his way front the hall to the depot to take the 3.20 train for Bangor, is being considered, and if the weather will permit it will un doubtedly be held. It has been sug gested that after his speech in the hall he will be driven to the Cony house and address the people from the balcony of the hotel for a few minutes. It is set tled that if the whole crowd cannot get into City hall to hear him an overflow meeting will be held, but just where it will occur is not yet decided upon. This point cannot be settled until today. Every person who comes to Augusta, today, to hear Mr. Bryan, will be given an opportunity to do so, either at the City hall meeting or at the overflow gathering out of doors. Scats in City hall will be free to all except those upon the stage where the vice presidents will sit. First come will be first served. Ladies are invited and if they are early at hand may be for tunate in securing seats. No one will be admitted to the stage without a ticket. The Lafayette Band, under the direc tion of Frank A. Dennis, has been en gaged for the day, and will furnish music. The special train bearing Mr. Bryan from Brunswick to this city will ar rive here shortly after 1 o’clock, and carriages will be in waiting at the de pot to convey the party to the hall. City Marshal Breen will have the en tire police force on duty at City hall, and he will take personal charge of them during the hours of the meet ing. The men engaged in sorting and rafting logs on the river say that the work is now progressing very satis factorily. Since the high water has gone down not much difficulty has been experienced, it is expected, how ever, that some heavy south winds will later prevail. A strong wind from the south always retards the work of sort ing and running logs. The sorters above the dam cannot accomplish so much in a day by one half when the wind comes blowing up from the south as they can under other circumstances. And another thing against a stiff southerly breeze, the logs won't float over the dam; they will hang in ed dies and in coves. With the wind corn ing from the north the work of the Kennebec river log sorter is very much advanced. Ice shipments from the Kennebec houses of the American Ice Co. have not been very large during the past month. The cold weather has had a tendency to curtail the demand, al though within a few days the calls for ice have been coming faster than before. The company's manager says that thus far. this year, there have been alKtut 200.000 tons of ice shipped from the Maine houses. This is a little more than two-fifths of the en tire supply of the houses. From now on it is expected that the calls for Maine ice will be greater and mnn frequent and that the entire stock will be practically shipped away before the season closes. If the houses are cleared of their contents it will make more work for the laboring men, next winter. “The Morning After.” The depressing effect following a night of conviviality is quickly dis pelled by the use of Palnio Tablets.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than al' other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed local rerae di.-s, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and then fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ,T.

Baseball Notes. Caribou boat Old Town, 7 to 4, Thura- 1 day, at Caribou. Rockland boat Camden. 3 to 2, Wedncs* j day, at Camden. The Worcester club is having trouble with Outfielder Sebring. An offer from Detroit has caused the trouble. Manager Dwyer tried to induce President Hurley to oell, but the latter would not listen to the proposition. “Newspapers make the baseball fan^ and reputation of a city,” says Tommy Connolly. “It wouldn’t take a whole lot of umpire roasting by th*' papers here to make Washington’s bleachers as bad as tney are in Baltimore.” Speaking about bombs, says Frank llough in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ban Johnson is shaking up one that will make that little affair at Baltimore aj# gaffie with any club of'the South ern Association. The American public is eminently fair, says the Philadelphia ledger. The Amer ican’s raid upon the National in signing the latter’s players was by many con uemned. although, analyzed, it amounted to nothing more nor less than going into the oper market, and paving the highest price for a desirable commodity. This the National could have done as well as the Ameucan. And this was the line of ac- I tioi. that the National was exacted to I pursue. Says Frank Houph In the Phila.lelphii Inquirer: Go down the batting lists of A CHANGE of climate, a change of diet is often advisable and why not a change of coffee? You can only realize the extra good qualities of Our Purity Coffee by trying it. WE GUAE ANTEE IT. J. F. TURNER. Augusta. war2S.eodtf_— the American and National League clubs, and observe the number of players who were unknown in major baseball circles two years ago and who now rank with, the best. It will be instructive. Inciden tally, it should open the eyes of the moss ages that it is no more possible to mo nopolize the playing strength of the coun try than it is to control the grounds upon which the game may be played. Says the Washington Star: George Carev plays so well at first that it seems like a waste of time to refer to him from day to day. From the way he is batting of lute he is undoubtedly the best first sacker in the business. And right close up tc Carev is the big Swede on the first for St. Louis. An interesting compilation would bf the games won through the timely hitting of Anderson. Without \ndy” the St. X.ouis would be nearer the bottom than the top of the championship race. Among Newark's newcomers are Ray D. White, a pitcher who has been doing good work in the box for the Raleigh (N. C.) team, a member of the same league as was Applegate, in whom Burnham has apparently secured a good man; Jake Drauby, who has played on almost as many teams as Henry Lynch; Aruthr Devlin, something of an experiment at second base; McCauley, who was catell ing with Providence, until his hitting cost him his release, and Thakera, a catch r of some experience. James Reeves has surrendered to the police at Atoka, I. T„ explaining that it was he who killed his wife there sev eral days ago, also her mother, Mrs. Grant, and John Knuckles. Reeves said that with his wife he had lived a happy life until the appearance of Knuckles on the scene two months ago. Since that time his wife treated him with in difference. On the day of the tragedy Reeves became intoxicated and on the way home he encountered Knuckles, Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Reeves going to church. Hastily securing a rifle. Reeves compelled Knuckles to get out of the wagon and then shot him. The team became frightened and ran away. Reeves shot his wife and killed her and then shot and killed Mrs. Grant. At the close of play at London, Thursday, in the cricket match be tween the Australians and an eleven representing all England, the visitors had scored 209 runs in their first in nings and the home players had to talled 70 runs for five wickets down in their first innings. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelley relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost very neighborhood in the United States and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: “J.ast summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used ac cording to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies.” Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, N. C. For sale by John Coughlin, 177 Water street; J. C.

Visible Supply Greater Than Spinsters in Maine. Census Office Figures Show This to Be a Fact. This State Has 60.878 Bachelors and 43,790 Spinsters. One of the lates bulletins issued by the United States census office is one Hiving the number of available mat rimonial material in the United States. It finds that in the aggregate their are fM26tii9 bachelors of 20 years or ov'■ r, and makes record of the remarkable fact that there are at present in the United States two and a half millions more single men than single women of that age and above. The exact figures are 4,195,440 maidens, so that the latter are in a minority of 2,531,333. In other words, there are 2,331,333 unattached inales who could not possibly get wives unless they fell back upon the widows or upon girls under 20. This is a surprising state of affairs,! in view of the belief which has hitherto prevailed that there was in this country a great surplus of spinisters who could not possibly hope to obtain husbands because of the lack of an adequate supply. It is proved by the Census Office figures not only ithat this notion was incorrect, but that the surplus is actually one of bachelors. Even when j all of the widows and the girls down to IT years of age are taken into count there are not nearly enough of them to go around. The girls of Maine will be surprised to learn that there are nearly 40 per [cent, more bachelors than there are maidens in the state. This shows that there are almost one and one half time'; more bachelors than spinsters, thus giving the latter a far better chance of securing husbands than lias heretofore been the Impression. Maine has 60,878 bachelors against 43.790 spinisters. New England always has been sup posed to be overburdened with single women, and yet the census reckoning shows that there is not a state in that group which has not more bachelors than spinsters. Even Massachusetts, long declared to be the chosen home and resort of the old maid, has a slight overplus of unmarried men, the figures being 282,992 single males against 277, 711 females similarly situated. New Hampshire, 38,713 bachelors and 30,654 spinsters; Vermont, 29,132 bachelors and 19,749 spinsters; Rhode Island, 41. 645 bachelors and 39,405 spinsters, and Connecticut, 94,138 bachelors against 74,731 spinsters. It is clear from a glance at the cen sus figures, however, that the unmar ried women of the East ought to mi grate to the great and growing West, where the available supply of husbands is relatively enormous. Take Cali fornia, for example, where there are 239,504 bachelors and only 88,755 maid ens of 20 and upward. Why, it must be almost out of the question for a woman to escape matrimony out there. Hut the opportunity in Idaho is much more attractive, the single men num bering 23,421 and the spinsters only 3556. Montana is another state rich in chances of marriage, its bachelors numbering 55,457 against 7560 spinsters. Oregon has 60,525 bachelors and 16,771 maidens, while Washington claims 90, 014 single men and 16,318 single women. Rut the banner state for bachelors is Wyoming, which has 2347 spinsters against 20,927 unmarried persons of the sterner sex. It must be very difficult for a woman to become an old maid in Wyoming. The excess of bachelors over spin sters of 20 years and upward in Massa chusetts is nearly 2 per cent. In Rhode Island it is 5 per cent., in Con necticut 25 per cent., in Maine 39 per cent., in New Hampshire 26 per cent., and in Vermont 45 per cent. New York shows a surplus of 23 per cent., New Jersey 29 per cent., Pennsylvania, 38 per cent., Ohio 38 per cent., Indiana 60 per cent, and Illinois 38 per cent. Kansas rises to an excess in bachelors of 108 per cent., while Missouri shows a surplus of 72 per cent. Michigan has an excess of 71 per cent, of single men. In explanation of the largeness of these percentages, it should be made clear that the mass of the population in each state is paired off by marriage evenly as between the sexes, leaving over only a comparatively small fraction of single persons of mar riageable age. It is only this frac tion that is considered in the present statement, and in most states the male part of the fraction is much in excess of the female part— hence the high pereentages of bachelor surplus quoted. In the whole country there are 6.726,779 bachelors against 4, 195,446 spinsters—an excess of 60 per cent, of bachelors over the unmarried women. country is considered, it is shown by the census figures that there are now in the United States l.SOO.OOO more males than females. The excess in 1830 was only 1,560.017. This is very inter esting. particularly in view of the fact that in the Old World the condition of affairs is quite different, the females outnumber the males. In Europe there are 185 males to fill females in every 1000 of the population. In this country the males outnumber the females 24 in every 1000, and thus it is obvious that, if all of the women do not get husbands, it is not for lack of available material. In Idaho there are 223 men for every 100 women. Mon tana has 160 men for every 100 women. Nevada has 152 men for every 100 wo men. Arizona has 140 men for every 100 women. These figures, of course, relate to the entire population, and not to bachelors and spinsters. Statistics show that about three-fifths of the people of the United States (including children) are single, a little more than one-third married, and not quite one twentieth widowed. The divot ced con rtitute hut a small fraction of 1 per j cent, of the whole number. Within the last few decades the birth rate in this country has run down rapidly. “The idea of limiting fam ilies.'- says Carroll D. Wright, “has more effect upon the growth of pop- j ulation than war. pestilence and all i other causes Combined.” In 1850 the average family comprised f.*A person?: now it is only 4'". People in the South- 1 ern States have the most children. while in New England families are population, hits twice as many child ren under 5 years of age as Maine. Nevertheless, a baby is born in this country every 12 seconds. Every 23 seconds a death occurs, and .every 2t seconds, a marriage.

Nelson is 2'0 years o! 1, iiiis sumnitr. and the way he carries ids years is a never ending delight and surprise to all lover; of a horse.

Tae noble old fellow seems to enjoy a, sprint as. much ns ever and the way he pulled the two men through th. t y, was a cau tion. He strikes his guit in the saw old styl and tan put lots of steam into it for a short distance. He can pro bably give any horse in the State the s) l int of his life for a quart- r or less any time now but of cours- or. longer distances his age t 11s.

The firemen subdued the fire after the building was pretty well wrecked. The misfortune throws about 50 hands out of employment.

Tousley of Washington, who died at Spring Lake, N. J., July IS, has been filed at Washington, for nrobate. The estate, which is estimated at $70,000. is left to his wife in trust, and at her death Wil liams College, Williamstown. Mass., is made the beneficiary. The will makes no stipulation as to the use of the money, but empowers the president and trustees to dispose of it as they see fit for the improvement of the college. The deceased suggested, however, that the money be invested in books for tha library known as the Orson V. Tousley collection. It is learned at Landers, Wyo„ that in addition to killing a Mexican sheep herder named Sam Galaxea, and slaughtering several thousand sheep, a band of 150 masked men has surround ed all the sheep camps and forced the sheepmen to abandon their flocks. After killing one herd of 2000, 25 other herds amounting to about 05,000 sheep, were driven into the mountains and left to shift for themselves. The sheepmen have been threatened with instant death if they go after their flocks. The sheep are now the prey of wild animals and the loss will be very heavy. The scene of the lawlessness is within 115 miles of Landers, in Fremont eounty. The militia may be called out to pro tect the sheepmen. White Man Turned Yellow. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexing ton, Ky., when they saw he was turn ing yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Ilittere, the wonderful stomach and liver rem edy, and he writes: “After taking two bottles I was wholly cured." A trial pro\ es its matchless merit for all stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only 50c. Sold by Bowditch Webster, druggists.
