Trial of Harry Thaw For Murder of Stanford White. The time of both the Senate ana the House this week will be taken up with the consideration of appropriation hills. In the Senate the Indian bill is now under consideration, while the House has the river and harbor bill under way. Several days will be requir'd to dispose of each of these measures and when they shall have been finally voted upon the Senate will take up the army bill, aijd the House the navy bill. These four measures wil practically monopolize the time of the two bodies, as there are many points in each of them over which there is wide differ ence of opinion. It is expected that the Senate amendment to tiie Indian Ter ritory matters will develop debate con cerning the administration of business in that territory white the question of big battleships will be fought out in the House in connection with the con sideration of the naval bill. Proceedings in the trial of Harry K. Thaw, charged with the murder of Stanford White, have reached the stage where the actual taking of testimony will begin on Monday, unless more of the jurors already selected are ex cused whe n the court resumes its ses sion. Humors that District Attorney Jerome was not quite satisfied with one or more of the jurors admitted to the box, have been circulating since Friday, when the jury was completed and this together with the fact that the talesmen no", yet examined were required lo report Monday, may mean that the long drawn out process of se lecting jurors will be continued for an other day. If the jury, as completed. Is allowed to stand, there appears to be nothing to prevent the beginning of trial. The taking of testimony concerning tho conduct of the colored troops at Brownsville, Texas, resulting in their dismissal by the President is expected to begin before the Senate committee on military affairs in Washington r.n Monday. A conference between President Roosevelt, Secretaiy Hoot and the San Francisco Board of Education, which Mayor Schmitz will attend, is expected to be held in Washington Friday o> Saturday to discuss the Japanese school question. It is understood that the President will endeavor to induce the board of education to rescind its action excluding the Japanese children from the schools. James Bryce, British ambassador to the United States is to be tendered a dinner by the Pilgrims of Eondon, at the Savoy Feb. 6. Several cabinet min isters have accepted invitations, and many other notable persons will b present. The American ambassador, Whitt law Held, probably will propose the health of Mr. Bryce ami the speeches of the two ambassadors an* expected to sound the kevnote of th*> friendly relations existing between their respective countries.

Sinclair Moulton, n well-known hotel man. committed sui eiile by shooting in the Grand I'rjon ho tel sometime between noon Saturday and noon today. At the time of his death In* was president of the stark Gate Hotel Co., owners of th Manhattan Square ho tel on West 77th street, lie had been suffering severely from stomach trouble for some t. ni^' and it is believed that his illness was the cause of the deed. At noon Saturday Mr. Moulton left, his own hotel, and although his wife Insti tuted a search for him. ho was not found until a m.nid in the Grand i'nion hotel found his body in a room at noon, today. Tie h ft letters for his wife and several of his friends. There were three bullet wounds in the body, one through the left temple, one through the rhost and an other through the heart.

Archbishop Nuttsll Trying to Raise Funds to Rebuild Kingston. Kingston. Jam., Feb. 3.—The recon struction committee appointed by the Most Rev. Dr. Xuttall. Lord Arch bishop of the West Indies, to carry out proposals for the re-building of the city, met Saturday and passed a resolu tion to ask the imperial government to advance a loan of $'..000,000 at a low rate of interest, to be repaid in £0 years Ur. Nuttall is arranging to proceed to Kngland almost immediately to in terview Sir Henry Campbell-Banner to an. the premier, and Chancellor of th hardship had bef n experienced in legis lators residing there sixty days and that from his experience as a member of the house and senate he hail had more time to devote to consideration of legis lation here than he believed he would have had if the capital had been located in uno of the larger cities, when’ easy access to his home would have caus ’d perhaps, more absence on the part of the members than in the present case. As a lawyer who had to attend meet ings of the Supreme Court, lie often wished the capital was elsewhere, either at Fargo or Grand Forks, because Bis marck was very distant from his home, but now that railroads had been built almost direct from capital to his town, that objection was removed. He thought a smaller town better for the capital than New York State Knows That Capitols Are Costly. Albany. N. Y.. Feb. 2.—(Special).— That stafe buildings may almost ccr tainiy be relied upon to exceed the ap propriations made for their erection has been the experience of New York. The present capitol affords the most striking and to the people the most expensive proof of this. The original appropriation for this building, which was began in IStif*. was $4,0(nJ>00, a sum which its cost of erection was not to 1 exceed. When completed in 1S03 the original appropriation had been ex ceeded more than five fold, no loss than $25,000 having been put into the capitol in various ways. So thoroughly has experience proven the futility of the attempts of the slate to erect.Its buildings within the orig inal appropriations made for them, oi under the system of state c.onstructior to rely upon these appropriations tessn.igne, has taken a more extended stride toward the; solution of the church difficulties than had been expected in most optimistic quarters. M. Briand construes the recent enactments in th most liberal spirit and iin a document forwarded tonight to the prefect’s office of all departments for communication lo the mayors, expresses this by recogniz ing tlio entire freedom of the mayors with the authorization of the municipal councils to grant leases of churches, rent free, to common law associations or clergymen, the only restriction being that the duration of a contract may not ex ceed IS years without the approval of the prefect. The lessee is merely held re sponsible for all repairs, while the essen tial condition that the office shall remain attached to the S"ct by which it was used before the separation law became effec tive until it is largely disaffi cted. M. Briand deals with the question of as suring pastoral succession, which he con siders can best be attained by the forma tion of a common law association whin! shall act as lessee, but ho also points on! that in the event of a clergyman «eavina the church himself any lessee has tin right under the common law to cede th. lease to a third party with the conscn of the lessor and provided the eontrac does not stipulate to the contrary. Relative to the terms of lease M I Briand states that any legal clause maj he inserted by mutual consent of th. parties to the lease, while the ccclesias tieal situation of the signatory clergy man may he set forth with a descrip tion of the powers he holds from hi: throughout Kansas and Western Mis souri tonight, with a temperature near zero. Snow is falling, driven by a bitter wind. All trains are late. 48 MILES AN HOUR. Wind BIcvvc Hard and Mercury Drops Rapidly At Pittsburg. Pittsburg. Feb. 3.—The wind is blow ing 4$ miles an hour here tonight and the mercury, which has fallen IS de grees within a few hours, is expected to loach close to the zero mark by morning. The present cold wave has prevented a repetition of the recent Hood conditions in this vicinity. The heavy snow of the past several weeks began to melt early today and the riv ers were rising rapidly. CREST IS PAST. Every Levee Ir. Memphis District Suc cessfully Holds Back Waters. Memphis, Tenn.. Fob. 3.—With ev ery main levee in this district holding intact, the crest of the high water in the Mississippi has passed Memphis. The gauge stood 40.2 feet at 7 o'clock tonight, a fall of one-tenth in 12 hours The levee at Holly Bush, north of Memphis, which caused apprehension, withstood the enormous pressure of water and the farm lands in its rear are believed Vo to safe. The river probably v. id recede rapidly in in th next lew nays. It: Memphis Hood conditions «ro un changed. Pin* principal tin mage will be to the lumber interests, the yards of several large concerns standing in three feet of water. Assistance for Stranded Steamer. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 3.—Wrecking tugs have been sent to the assistance of the vessel supposed to be the Brit ish steamer Shoppy Allison, which was reported last night ashore two miles south of Cape Lookout. The steamer was built In 1S99 and is of 1400 tons. She is lumber laden from Pensacola for Rurope. Montana Has a Bad One. Billings, Mont., Feb. 3.—A severe snowstorm is ragir.g in eastern Mon tana tonight. Train service is de moralized. hierarchical superiors. Should a -r^rv nian. before signing, desire to mu'-ult his bishop it is only necessary for Him to re quest a delay for that purpose; 1 nt the bishop cannot be a party to the contract and his counter signature is superfluous as the signatory is personally rc.-ponsibla for the carrying out of the terras of the contract. The circular, though addressed to pre fects and mayors, appears to be equally (intended to offer advice to the clergy. Lieut. Col. S. P. Lagros of Ducksport. Bucksport, Me., Feb. 3.—Lieut. Col.

It was not until some time afterward that Mrs. Rdosevelt was ad vised of Mrs. Gallinger's demise and she was greatly shocked. The body left Washington on the Co lonial Express at E.45 o'clock this af ternoon for Concord, N. H., where the burial will take piTace on Tuesday.

THAW IMPATIENT. Chafes at Delay of Ad journment over Saturday. Prisoner's Wife Visits Him Two Hours at the Tombs. One of the Jurors Was an Agent of Defendant’s Father. >Jcw York, Feb. 3.—His trial having been adjourned over from Saturday af ternoon until Monday morning- Harry K. Thaw sat impatient in his cell at the Tombs yesterday regretting that some arrangement could not be made to avoid the week-end truces in liis battle for life and liberty. As the trial has progressed Thaw lias grown more and more confident. The long delay in securing a jury enabled him to become accustomed to his surroundings in court and he now appears anxious for the real work to begin. Thaw’s attorneys were busy Satur day rounding out the mass of testi mony which the defence will put before tho jury. None of them would venture ;L prediction as to how much time will be required to present the evidence of the defendant. They will be ready to proceed with tlicir case Monday after noon. but were inclined to doubt that District Attorney Jerome will find it possible to introduce ai! the direct ovi- j dence the state has to off. r within the two hours and ua half of iho Monday I morning session. While Assistant District Attorney Garvin, who is to deliver the opening address lor tne prosecution, e-Apeci. make his narrative of the crime as j Virie-f as possible, the cross-examination of eye witnesses to the tragedy will l>e of a searching character and it is this fact which leads to the conclusion that the state may not be able to often and close in one session of court. Mrs. Thaw, wife of the prisoner, was early at the Tombs Saturday anti spent 1 two hours with her husband. They chatted gaily togethc r and review*1 I the many events of the second week of the trial. It was reported today that young Mrs. Thaw's constant com panion. May McKenzie, the former chorus eiri. will It11 or. of th" first wit- I nesses I- rose cutloci, witieh hones J to prove i that Thaw made j threats against the life of Stanford White. Miss Mackenzie was subpoenaed im- mediately after the Madison Square j Hoof Garden tragedy and her daily at tendance at court has been in obe..Si-, cnee to that summons, as well as in the capacity of the close friend of tin- pris oner's wife. Distri d Attorney Jerome is spend'niS the Saturday and Sunday vacation ■with his family in i.nkeville. Conn., oud no one* at his office today would eh ti er confirm or deity the report th.it Miss Mackenzie will be one of tin- lust wit nesses to take the stand. Mr. Peabody of Thaw's counsel, was .also a visitor at the- Tombs today, and, in leaving, took occasion to demy the leport tliat Thaw had decided to take the stand in his own behalf. Whil such an action might 1m- possible, h said, tut decision to that end has It f :t reached. Mr. Peabody declared that tie- *1 fence to be interposed l'or Thaw will i be a lengthy one. “There are many witness s to be called,” in said, "and I innot say how j long it will take to examine them. The fact that the state may i d re- c ciuire more than or.' session of the court in which f t introduce its direct testimony means that Mr. Jc route i tends to tarry out the plan he con ceived months ago of letting the de fence bring up the causes which are alleged to have- led to the tragedy. The prosecution then will attempt to refute, in detail, every contention of the defence and tlie- state's ease in re buttal may require even more time than that consumed by the introduc tion of the testimony for the defendant. Rumors of a possible change in at least one jttror continued to circulate today and it was said that when the trial is resumed Monday morning, the district attorney may spring a fresh surprise. Thaw is imntens !y pleased .with the jury as it is now con stituted. however, and his lawyers are equally well satisfied. Unless some extraordinary pressure is brought to j bear upon them it is not likely they j will consent to any further changes. In that event Monday morning will I witness the taking of testimony in the famous case. Now York. Feb. 3.—Harry K. Thaw, -whoso trial for tlie murder of Stanford IVVhito will bo continued tomorrow, was allowed to see three of his counsel for a half-hour's conference today. Thaw's j keepers said tliat he ate lnartily nnci ap peared lees nervous than before. He attended service in the chapel and later apent some time reading the nows •apera. AGENT FOR FATHER. One of Thaw Jurors Was for Years Intimate With William Thaw. Minneapolis. Minn., Feb. 3.—It was i learned Saturday that Wilbur F. Steele, one of the jurors sitting in the j Harry K. Thaw case in New York, was j for years agent for the defendant s i father in North Dakota. Steele is a brother-in-law of Henry P. Upli.i resident of the First Na tional JV of St. Paul. Mr. Steei. oore intimate business relations to William Thaw, father of Harry, according to men who knew Steele in and about Steele, N. D., a town named for him. THAW WILL SECRET Expected to Be Brought Out In Trial j of Harry Thaw. Pittsburg. Feb. C.—Even more care- fully than when lawyers studied the will of William Thaw to discover grounds for legs I contest has that doc ument been ionised by etperis sbn Harry Thaw killed Stanford White. Inscrutable scents of the Thaw fa:u ily lie hidden there; it Is a closed door to the skeleton closet and only one per son, possibly, hold3 the key. That one is the mother of the man now on trial for his life. If she goes on the stand in his behalf, Pittsburg believes the door will be unlocked and the unex pected reason for William Thaw’s dir;- j inheritance of his son will became known. It is not believed here that William Thaw wrote the codicil cutting off Hat--' ry Thaw with $2400 a year for life simply because he was convinced that the young man was not capable of us ing rightly the fortune which was left him in liis original will. The conclusion which Pittsburg has reached in the IT years since the mil lionaire died is that some one act canto to the knowledge of William Thaw to convince him that it was his duty to revoke the clause which left Harry Thaw an equal share with the other children. The will and the codicil were both signed on July 5, 1SS9. The circum stances indicate that William Stiaw i had the will prepared, but delayed j making it effective by his signature for some time. When he did decide to sign it, he had changed his mind as to his son Hai ry, and in a different hand the codicil, containing nine sections, one cutting off his wayward son. was added an i the same witnesses attested the signatures affixed on the same day to lioth will and codicil. Indicative r f William Thaw’s origi nal regard for Harry is the article of the will which directs that all of his children shall share alike, 10 parts out of the 1o of tile whole estate being set apart for them. The chief paragraphs of the codicil in which Harry is cut off from his equal share leads as follows: “With great regret and reluctance, and solely from a sense Of duty, 1 hereby cancel and revoke any and all conditions of my said will directing payment, assignment, delivery or con veyance of money or property to mv said son. Harry Kendall Thaw, and in lieu thereof do now will and direct that the equal part or share of my estate hereinbefore directed to be allotted to or set apart for my said son. and any other money, property or estate, which under the provisions of my said will or managed by the executors of my ■will (save as herein otherwise provid ed) in trust to pay from the income the proper maintenance of my said son during minority, and. further, to pay Slim after tie shall have reached his majority for and during his natural life, the sum of two thousand four hun dred ($2400) dollars per annum in monthly payments without liability to assignment, charge or anticipation by him." A second paragraph of this portion of the codicil directs that if the soil Harry die with legal issu Iris children shall come into the share of the estate as originally provided in the will. A third paragraph reads: "All the foregoing conditions of that codicil arc, however, subject to the fur ther condition respecting my said son, viz: That if at any time in the judgment of a majority of the executors of my said twill lie shall have shown such set tied character and course of life as to in dicate proper capacity and discretion for the receipt, care and expenditure of the income or estate originally designed for him under the provisions of my said will, the said executors and any trustee, act ing: under said will, are authorized and empowered then and thenceforth to car ry out and perform in all respects (save as previously carried out by virtue there in) all the provisions for or in respect to or for the benefit of my said son, Harry I'Viulall Thaw.” .‘l iny have been the reasons assigned l*v gossip for the practical disinheritance of Harry K. Thaw, including the one upon which hope was based by the young man that he could break his father’s will. That idea was abandoned when the fami ly decided to give Harry a larger propor tion of the estate. It was suggested by his lawyers that William Thaw’s mind was failing and that he cut his son off in a moment of impulse, but this idea has never had serious consideration. I’ittsourg is still waiting for the Whit-* I n order trial to bare the real secret of what Harry Thaw did to bring upon him- j self tin? displeasure of an indulgent pa- i rent.

Orono, Me., Feb. 3.—(Special).-On Sat urday evening; the Brewster Academy basketball team was defeated l>y Maine in the university gymnasium by the score of to to 11. As the academy boys have been on a trip during which time they have played four games, they were rath er tired, with the result that their game was a slow one, although they did some pretty passing. Maine did not play quite the speedy game that she has been play ing nearly all the season, but this is the result of lack of practice caused by the mid-year examinations held during the past week. Captain Stuart played his usual steady game and Scales continued his good work at basket throwing. Cap tain Richardson and Horne played the best game for Brewster. The game started at S o'clock. Brewster having the choice of goals. After the hall had been in play about a minute Marlon of Maine threw the first basket of the evening, and a few seconds later Horne threw the first basket for the vis itors. A foul was then called on Brew ster and Scales threw the basket. Both teams then fouled and Seales won anoth er point for the university team. After about a minute of play Captain Richard son scored lor Brewster and was quick ly followed by Scales scoring for Maine. Stobie then added two more points for the university team and after a foul ha-1 been called on Brewster for holding, the university team began to shoot baskets from all parts of the floor. Scales start ed with a pretty goal and after some good team work on the part of the uni versity men he followed with two more baskets in quick succession. Taber inter rupted at this point with a basket for the isitors, and after Morton hatl scored another basket for Maine, Stobie added another. At this point the rst half end ed with the score IS to C fin favor of Maine. The second half opened with French of Maine in place of Morton.

New York, Feb. 3.-Harry Pollock, manager of Young: Corbel t, who went West with the little fighter a few days ago, has reached Reno, Nev., and wires Robert Edgren that he has been offeree a purse for a light between Cor bett and Kid Herman on March 20. Pollock immediately wired to Chicago to be put into communication with Nat Lewis, manager of Herman, and experts to have the match arranged in two days. Charles Kohl, one of the big fight promoters of Reno, made the offer. He lias an arena which will seat 13,000 per sons and is making arrangements for a big fistic carnival to be held early In the spring. LOWELL IS OUT. Spindle City Athletic Club Gives Up the Fight. Lowell, Feb. 3.—The officers of the Spindle City Athletic Club, who were Saturday fined a total of $100 for pro moting a public boxing exhibition and who appealed, have decided not to take the ease to the higher court. Thomas 'fully, president of the club, stated that the lines had been paid and that Lowell sports would not see any more bouts here for some time. While Mr. Tully believes that he could easily win his case, he has taken this course be cause the club has lost about $700 on its original investment and cannot af ford to drop any more. The conviction of the men was brought about by evi dence presented to the court by state officers who attended the last sparring evhihition. McGARRY HANDICAPPED, Appears In Ring With Knee Painted With Iodine. Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—Unk Russell of this city had a slight advantage over Amby MctjP.rrjj.of New York in the windup at the National A. C. Saturday night and made the score in the inter city contests between New York and Philadelphia 4 to 1 in favor of Phila delphia. The only New Yorker to win was Jimmy Moran, who showed toe much cleverness for Young Kid Broad. McGary was handicapped hy a wrenched kft^e and he appeared for the windup with his leg painted with iodine. His manager claimed before the bout that this would not stop him in his work and that he was prepared to give a good account of himself. It did, however, as was plainly seen soon after the opening bell. He carried his leg around as if it was wooden and a number of times during the fast bout was unable to escape from Russell's rushes. Despite the handicap he put up a sterling light. He was game to the core and never let up for an In stant. In close work McGarry had the better of the argument, but Unk fought him off and at long range his left jabs had a telling effect. The best bout of the night was that between Tommy O'Keefe of this city and Owen Flynn of New York. This was a slambang affair with O'Keefe doing nearly all the banging. It was O’Keefe all the way.

Under date of January 26, 1907, Mr. F. P. Fish, President of the Company, writes us in part, as follows: 4 J” The American Telephone and T elegraph Company is the successor of the American Bell Telephone Company, having acquired early in 1900 all the property and business of that company. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company owns directly the long distance telephone lines, and ia the owner of shares of the capital stock in about forty companies operating throughout the United States and Canada, holding, except in a few instances, a controlling interest. The Company's capital stock at present outstanding in the hands of the public is $131,551,400. On December 31, 1906. the net surplus and reserves of the Company amounted to approximately $14,000,000. The number of telephone subscribers' stations operated in the United States by this Company and by the companies to which its telephones are leased has been as follows: 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 (Dec. Eet.) 1,399,941 1,683,087 2,003,213 2,528,715 3,054,000 The number of miles of wire owned by this Company and its associated companies is approximately: Exchange, 6,100,000; toll, 1,400.000; making a total of 7,500,000, of which 3^00,000 miles of exchange wire are in underground conduits. The shares of the Company are largely distributed, the number of shareholders having been as follows: JAN 1, 1903 JAN. 1, 1904 JAN. 1, 1905 JAN. 1, 1906 JAN. 1, 1907 10,802 15,743 16,892 17,533 18,194 The American Telephone and Telegraph Company raid dividends each year from April, 1900, to July, 1906, at the rate of seven and one-half per cent, per year, and Its predecessor, the American Bell Telephone Company, paid dividends at an equivalent or greater rate each year from 1884 to 1900. Since July, 1906, The American Telephone and Telegraph Company has paid dividends at the rate of eight per cent, per annum. The Gross revenue of this Company and its associated telephone companies for the year 1906, excluding duplications, was approximately $117,000,000 Gross Earnings of this Company, (including dividends from associated copanles) were .$24,428,434.71 Operating Expenses, Interest and Taxes .11,644,968.98 Leaving balance of...$12,783,465.73 Out of which dividends amounting to $10,195,233.50 have been paid. The bookkeeping and accounting are on conservative lines, and in my opinion the position and the prospects the Company have improved from year to year and will continue to do so. For further details regarding the above Bonds, reference is made to the Trust Indenture under which they are Issued, and to the letter from Mr. F. F. Fish, President of the Company, copies of which may be obtained at the offices of the undersigned. Preference on allotment under subscription will 1# accorded to shareholders of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company to the extent of 1-5 or 20 per cent, of the par value of their holdings of stock in the Company, A simultaneous public iaaue of the above Bonds is being made by Messrs.

NEW YORK AND BOSTON, January 30, 1907. febldS BASEBALL NOTES. The veteran Ted Sullivan says: "As I was instrumental in enticing Canttl lon to come to Washington I know tha salary that was offered and I saw the contract. It was nearly twice the sal ary of a Cnited States senator, and there is not a bench manager today in the Eastern country that is getting one-half the salary of Cantillon. The Washington management has correct ed all the errors of the past in getting a baseball pilot that knows alt the bends and shallows in tne baseball riv er." Terry Turner, the great shortstop of the Cleveland baseball team, was se cretly married Tuesday evening in Co lumbus to Miss Rena Belle Mayhew of Cleveland. Rev. W. S. Priest formed the ceremony at the home of the bride's brother, A. W. Mayhew. Turner went to Cleveland last Sunday afternoon, but did not confide the fact that It was a matrimonial mission even to his most Intimate friends. The license, which was issued Tuesday afternoon, was suppressed and Rev. Mr. Priest was sworn to secrecy. The only witnesses were Mr. and Mr. Mayhew. Turner and hia bride -will remain in Columbus for a few days, after which they will go to El wood. Pa., where they will re main until the Cleveland team starts on lta Southern training trip.

MAINE RAILROAD NOTES. The Bangor Aroostook Railroad has recently received at its shops in Milo Junction three new locomotives. Two of them are switchers and are numbered 80 and 81. while the third is a ten-wheel passenger engine, num bered 79. These machines are from the Manchester Locomotivo Works, Manchester, N. H. Ex-Conductor JT. T. Swan of Bangor, who is so well and favorably known from Bangor to Moosehead lake, has a record to be proud of. It includes U years in the Oldtown freight office, 18 years as conductor on the old Veazie road, and 30 years as conductor for the Bangor Piscataquis and Bangor Aroostook roads. During all the years that he served as conductor no passen ger or employee was injured on his train nor was ho ever injured. Mr. Swan Is now living in comfort In Ban gor on the savings of his long years of faithful work. Joseph E. Anderson, station agent at the Maine Central depot In Bath city, has reached his 70th birthday an niversary, which he quietly observed at his home on High street. Mr. Ander son is a native of Wise asset, a son of Silas and Octavia Anderson and dur ing his youth was a constant and stu dious attendant of the Bath public schools. When between 17 and 18 years of age ho learned the wood carv er's and engraver’s trade and after wards followed it until 1858 after which he accepted employment as a brake man of the Kennebec and Portland raliroad and still later became a loco motive fireman. After holding this position for 20 months he was given a locomotive on the Androscoggin and Maine Central railway and ran it for six years. In 1869 he abandoned engineering and became a passen ger conductor on the Maine Central serving on trains running between Bangor and Boston. Portland and Skowhegan and from Lewiston to Bath. He entered his present position as station agent on May 1, 1893, and has always filled the office with re markable ability for both the rail road and the general public which al ways looks upon him as a most faith ful oihclaL How to Exercise the Bowels OUR Intestines are lined inside with millions of suckers, that draw the Nutrition from food as it passes them. But, if the food passes too slowly, it decays before It gets through. Then the little suckers draw Poison from it Instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a Gas that injures your system more than the food should have nourished it. The usual remedy for this delayed pass age (called Constipation) is to take a big dose of Castor Oil. This merely make slippery the passage for unloading the current cargo. It does not help the Cause of delay ft trifle. It does slacken the Bowel-Muscles, and weakens them for their next task. Another remedy is to take a strong “Physic," like Saifs, Calomel. Jalap, Phos phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the '‘Physic** do? It merely flushes-out the Bowels with a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing into the Intestines through the tiny suckers. Cascsrets are tho only safe medicine for the bewels. They do not wsete any precious fluid of the Bowels, as "Physics*' do. They do not relax thel nteetines by greas ing them inside like Castor Oil or Glycerine.

It Is somewhat difficult to understand io anxiety on the part of certain in rests to increase the financial burden the people of this State by voting move the capital to Portland. A ove of this sort would involve an ex snditure of not less than two million dollars of the people’s money and robably three or four times this mount, for the experience of other ates has shown that public buildings re almost never constructed within >e amount of the appropriations made rr them. They have-an unpleasant tanner of swallowing up additional bllars of the taxpayers’ money at a arprising rate. It is also somewhat ifficult to discover the grounds upon •hich such an expenditure could be jstified in yje face of the pressing eeds of various other public works nroughout the State. It Is not to be supposed that Maine euld be any better governed with the tate House in Portland, even if that •tate House cost $10,000,000. And if he Investment of the people’s money in n Improvement of this sort will not Ting an adequate return, the simplest ort of business sense shows that to indertake it would be an extrava ;ancc. There are goon roans 10 oe milt, bridges to be constructed, better •Ural schools to be provided, the State, lebt to be paid and many other lines if public work Tor which all the avail ible public money might be profitably ■mployed. Indeed in the end It is simply a question of profit, a question is to whether the people can afford to ipprove of the expenditure of a sum of money whose increased burden in the diape c.r additional taxes will remain with thorn for years. Satisfying the needs of the State and Harrying out the works of the State government may be classed as necessi ties to which the money of the State should he devoted; hut moving the capital and building a new State House smacks more of luxury which the people of the State aft bardly ready to countenance. Viewed from any side the removal of the capital to Portland seems to be distinctly t the disadvantage of east ern Maine, the most rapidly growing section of tin State and the one most Undeserving of having moved from the sphere of its activities tho centre of the State's government. There are many economic reasons against such a removal of the capital but before them all comeB the one question of dollars and cents. To sum It lip simply there is no need of moving the capital since it will not Increase the efficiency of the govern ment one jot and the residents of Maine can easily see the futility of spending the State’s money in works Which are not needed and In counte nancin'* expenditures which cannot be Afforded. The Service Pension Bill. A most important pension measure Is the service pension bill which has recently passed the United States Senate and is now pending in the House. The bill at: it passed the Sen ate provides that every veteran of the Civil War who served three months or longer and who received an honorable discharge shall receive upon reaching the age of 62 years a pension of $12 a month; on reaching the age of 70 years $13 a month, and on reaching the Bge of 75 years $20 a month. The pro posed legislation takes no aceount of injuries received in the service. Pen sions are to he provided for all who followed the flag and helped to save the life of the Union. Commissioner Warner gives some in teresting rtgures regarding the men who are now on the pension rolls. There arc nearly 150,000 'between th» ages of 62 and 70 who are receiving less than $12 a month. Of this number about 27. 000 get $6 a month, 68,000 $8 a month and the remainder jio a month. Under the service pension law these me i would all receive $12 a month, the in crease amounting altogether to about $6,930,000. There are 230.000 veterans of the Civil War receiving pensions of $12 a month and about 21.000 who re ceive $14 a month. It is believed that about 53.000 of these veterans are be tween 70 and 75 years old. Under the provisions of the bill these men would receive pensions of $15, the increase amounting altogether to about $1.800,ooa. The Increase to the veterans above the age of 75, now receiving pensions rang ing from $12 to §20 a month, would be approximately $2,000,000 a year. What proportion of the veterans not now receiving- pensions would ap ply under the new law it is impossible to estimate. Commissioner Warner believes that net more than one-third ff the number would apply, pride and sufficient personal means restrainini the others. This would increase the pension budget by about $4,000,000. Th veterans deserve ail they are tret tin: and more The generous treatment o its old soldiers is to the eternal glori of this republic and is unique in th k.

(Rockland Opinion.! Tli'' Portland presentation of its claims for removal of the Stato capital proved a fiasco. The Portland delegation is tho laughing stock of tH- whole Legislaturo since the hearing on the matter. Wednes dav afternoon. They railed on Represen tative Montgomery, of Camden, to help them out. but he used the opportunity to present an argument for the referendum. What the Indications Are. (Bath Times.) The indications are that the Legislature will not rush into Portland's open arms. Augusta seems to have prevadlfd in the first round of the fight for the Stato capital before the Committee on Public Buildings. The Portland Bluff. (Brunswick Record.) The citv government of Portland has made a good bluff in voting to appropri ate h.'.if a million dollars toward the building of a new State House, if the site for the same is selected in Portland Fortunately for the taxpayers of that citv there is a large ''if” in the way. Brunswick could not. of course, mak such a magnificent appropriation toward a new State House, but we feel justified in stating that this town would vote to provide a site and sufficient grounds for the Capitol, and the value of such a do nation ought to bo worth at least a mil lion dollars—after the improvements were made.

He has already sold the English serial rights and the American serial rights will probably shortly bo placed, as his book “The Guarded-Flame’’ lias made a most pro found Impression. Curiously enough, three different New York papers have rated it as the most iwwerfuHy written of all tile novels of the year Philip Verriil Mighels, the author of "Dunny," had so varied an experience in his boyhood that he draws unending ly upon his memory for unique situa tions aVid happenings to be used in his tales.

There is a very graceful act ronrterf fd with Kipling that few people know. I For years no literary man, according to the Book News Monthly, received so many requests for his autograph. Ho 1 hit on this plan to supply all who wanted them, and to do a good died at the same time; he sold tile auta graphs for a dollar apiece, and present* ed the proceeds to the Fresh Air Fund I of the Now York Tribune. As a resn't the fund has been increased by thous ands of dollars. His modesty is sincere. Once a party of tourists stopped in the :oad in front of his house and stood for a while. That's the penalty of being a great mail." said one of the author's guests. "Nonsense”' exclaimed Kipling;"thty are looking at this fine old Elizabethan I place." I Kipling talks very rapidly. There is I little, if any, of what is commonly known as the English accent. lie really talks more like an American than an Englishman. Once he was talking about men and ma.nncrs to some friends. Suddenly, in that quiet way he has of plunging into things, he said: "1 suppose most people think I am a snob. Well, my job is to try not to be one.” This is Kipling the man: a simple, modest, high-minded English gentle man. with the enthusiasm of a boy, yet the understanding of ages. The writer known to the novel read ing public us Ralpih Conner is known to his parishioners in Winnipeg as Charles W. Gordon. He is a man of forty-three, tall and slight, keenly In terested in sport and outdoor life and sympathetic and earnest in his work. His church has been completely fitted up with parlors and recreation rooms, where those without homes may spend their evenings in pleasant surround ings. That he has lost nothing of his popularity as a story writer is demon strated by the facr that the publication of his new Kooky Mountain story, “The Doctor.” was delayed until No vember 17 because advance orders had increased the first edition from 50.000 to 100,000. m. uomoi s LUDrary, wincn was opened last week at Hawarden. num bers 37,Oti't volumes.

The only other investigation which may really said to he on the docket is that of the Kish and Game Depart ment, which will be begun soon. A large amount of private and special legislation has appeared, as usual early in the session and there is' every indication that there is more to come. No former session of the legislature ever had so many petitions for charters of industrial organizations or public utility companies. It almost seems as if every corporation in the State was looking to the legislature for relief from some burden or griev ance. To many of these petitions there appears to tie no opposition, especially the public utility projects. Others are undergoing a running tire of criticism and hostility. The initiative anil referendum was t>ne of the principal subjects of debate in the campaign of last fall. Both parties have submitted t the Begis'a ture bills dealing with it. The Re publican measure applies to the statute law alone. The Democratic measure applies to both the statutes and the constitution. They will be heard next Thursday and one or the liveliest hearings of the session is not unlikely. Resubmisslon has been before the people for several years, in fact might be said to have mver ceased to be be fore iit least a part of them. The pros and eons of this perplexing ques tion will be fought out in the commit tee room Feb. 33 and, in all probability will receive attention on the floor of the House. The repeal of the Sturgis enforcement law is slated for argu ment the next day. What effect the resolve presented by Senator George H. Eaton of Washington, proposing to amend the constitution so that the Governor may remove delinquent sheriffs, will have on these two ques tions is still undetermined. Several bills looking to a radical re form of our tax and ballot laws have been introduced. The tax bills include every conceivable method that has been'tried since time immemorable and the day before. All states and all countries have unwittingly contrib uted their mite toward the new bills. What the outcome will be it is not easy to conjecture, but the whole system of taxation will be very thoroughly dis cussed at all events. As to the ballot reform, the general leaning of the bills seems to be toward the Massachusetts law. Direct primaries have been sug gested and different colored ballots too. but no decision has been reached by the committees which have the matters in charge. The element of the voting population known as organized labor has not been idle. The *'58 hour law” presented last week was accompanied by a single pe tition containing 8,000 signatures. Those who have the matter in charge say that when the matter comes up for debate, either in the committee or on the floor of the House they will have some of the ablest attorneys in the State on hand to look after their inter ests. Tlie bill that would raise the age at which a child may leave school to go to work, from 12 to 14 years, has already had its hearing, -it was ably support ed, not only by Inspector Morrison, who was largely interested In its draft, but also by the woman's organizations and organized labor. The general bridge bill looks good to some of the small towns that have been supporting bridges for years at the expense of their roads and other town Improvements. On the other hand the cities look over the schedule and find that most of the bridges are In the cities and that they will gnin.

Looking back over the five weeks that the legislators have been on hand, and surveying their work, it may be said that they have improved their time to the best advantage.

Headquarters was inspected, together with the proper ty there and found in excellent condition. Capt. Mitchell paid his respects to Gov ernor William T. Cobb, commande^in chief, and to Adjutant General Augustus P,. Farnham. loiter In the forenoon the inspecting officer visited the camp ground on West ern avenue and Inspected the property there. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the conditions which he found, especially the business-like way in which everything was packed and ready for shipment into the field for ac tive service at a moment's notice. All the extra guns and uniforms were well taken care of. Capt. Mitchell was interviewed by a representative of the Journal after his tour of inspection. He said: “Four years ago I was detailed to inspect the Maine National Guard for the first time and this will be the third year that I have been called upon to do the work. I notice a vast Improvement in the organ ization during that time and would con gratulate General Farnham nn the pro gress made. The National Guard comes nearer than ever before to the standard set by the United States service.” The State Board of Health has issued from its office at the State House its bi monthly bulletin for the instruction of the people. It deals with sanitation, tu berculosis and other infection and win ter hygiene. The pamphlet also contains an instructive article in regard to the Maine Sanitorium at Hebron, /which closes with the following paragraph: In view of the fact that the 5000 cases of tuberculosis present In the State, and the 1000 or more deaths which result from that disease every year, are costing the State $2,000,000 yearly: that the Maine State Sanitorium Association has advanc ed thus far in providing what has well been pronounced a model institution of the kind; that of the $130,000 or more al ready spent in constructive work, a large part of it has come from friends outside of the State; that this establishment for a very beneflclent work for all classes or people in all part of the State has cost the treasury of the State only $13,000, the trustees and officers of the association are asking the Legislature to help it ip. enlarging Its sphere of usefulness and In PIANOS Good music is a constant joy to any home.

LITHGOW LIBRARY. Officers Elected and Resolutions Upon Death of Mr. Haynes. At the recent annual meeting of the trustees of the Lithgow library anil reading room, the following officers were elected: President, ^Leslie C. Cor nish; treasurer. Richard E. Goodwin: auditor, Tieby Johnson; secretary, Mel vin S. Hoi way. The following resolutions drawn by Gen. Seldon Connor upon the death of Hon. J. Manchester Haynes, were adopted: Resolved, That in the death of J. Manchester Haynes the Lithgow libra ry has lost one of its strongest frienus and supporters. He was one of the or ganisers of the Augusta Literary and Library Association, one of the inoor l>oralors of the Lithgow library and a member of the board of trustees from its foundation throughout his lifetime. In common with so many of the high est interests of this community the Lithgow library suffers by the loss of a citizen of high character and civic prominence, a man who achieved suc cess in oil his undertakings through the clearness of his conceptions an I the vigor of his executed powers. His memory will remain among the treas ures of the city of his home. Resolved, That the board of trustees of the Lithgow library lias been de prived of a memhpr whose business abilities and marked literary tastes qualified him in a superlative degree for usefulness to the institution he did so much 10 create and foster. The qualities of his mind and heart united to make an attractive personality which greatly endeared him 1o be held in lifelong remembrance by them. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the records and that a ropy of them lie sent to the family of Mr. Haynes in token of our sympathy in their bereavement and of the re gard and honor in which our late col league was held. SAFE WAS RIFLED. F. J. O'Connor Finds That About $15 In Money Was Stolen. The opening of the safe belonging to F. .T. O'Connor Saturday morning, which went through the fire at the junk shop last Monday evening, and the dis covery that the safe had been riiled of its contents, confirms the theory of the Journal that il.c parties who attempt ed to break into the Parrott safe had also tried the one in the junk shop of fice, and while in the building had in some way set fire to it. When Mr. O’Connor left the shop Monday after noon he neglected to lock the safe, and states that at that time there was about $15 in silver in the safe, being in the cash box. On coming down to the fire he asked Capt. Fletcher of Hose 1 to hand him out his typewriter, and then remembering that the safe was not locked he requested that gentleman to turn the knob of the combination. Capt. Fletcher doing sb. ~tVhen the safe was opened Saturday morning the cash box was broker, and the silver gone. There is no doubt that the work on both safes was done by the same par lies. and that the fire was due to their presence in the building, but there seems to be an impression that the fire was the result of accident rather than design.

IN MAINE MUSICAL CIRCLES. Wheeler’s band of Wilton are soon to give a concert in that town. The band’s first rehearsal took place this week. The Bethel festival chorus has be* gun Its season’s work under the direc tion of Itev. A. D. Colson as president and Elliott Tower, the Norway tenor, as director. Carl Jean Tolman, pianist, formerly of Lewiston and now of Boston, will play at Berlin, N. H., at Gentlemen's night to be given early In February by the Berlin Woman's Club. Miss Ethel Knowles of Dover Is con templating going to Boston, where she will take up the study of piano music at the New England Conservatory dur ing the winter and spring. A chorus concert by the Freeport Binging class assisted by Miss Eva Findley of Portland, and v Collins or chestra of Freeport, was recently given at tho Congregational church. A chorus choir of eleven members with Miss Gibson as soloist, has been organized at the Bethel Unlversallst church, thus adding a new feature of Interest to the morning service. A concert is to be given in Norway on the evening of Feb. 27th, under the auspices of the Unlversallst Circle, in which the Erato quartet of Portland, will take part. Miss O’Neil of Port land will be the reader. A new string quartet has been formed in Freeport composed of the following well known talent: Miss E. Belle Jordan, first violin; Miss Sarah E. Houle, second violin; Mr. M. T. Col lins. viola; Miss Dora Amlck, cello. m_a.. PI.1K tvill give a concert early in February, tor which Millard Bowdoin of Portland will be one of the artists, as will Miss Suo Wlnchell of Brunswick, ’cellist and Miss Henrietta D. Rice of Portland. Lewis Vlcary. now of Detroit, Mich., and formerly of Rockland, has been praised by the Detroit Press, for his opera libretto. The libretto is for an opera in three acts. Mr. Vlcary was formerly a pupil and protege of Prof. George W. Tibbetts of Rockland. Miss Ruby White Is the composer of the words of the song “Waiting for Her Only Son,” which was rendered by Judge R. C. Boothby. at the recent in stallation of officers of Charity Re bekah Lodge, Livermore Falls. Miss White is the 14 year old daughter of R. N. White and is very gifted. A young soprano who has a very charming voice and uses It with mucli taste and expression Is Miss Elizabeth Mae Babb of Westbrook, who Is a pu pil of MIhs Martha F. B. Hawes. Miss Babb has been studying for the past three years and Is a most earnest and conscientious student- Her voice is rarely sweet and of sympathetic qual ity so that with adequate range and good-carrying power it Is not too much to expect that the future holds a large measure of success for her. A recital Is soon to be given at Miss Hawes’ studio by Miss Babb and Miss Florence A. Sawyer and their friends are anticipating the event with much pleasure. An organization of much Interest among Portland’s young musicians is that called the Junior Club composed of pupils of Miss Clara Smith of Rob erts street. They are organized like any club of grown-up people, with president, vice-president and secretary. The members whose ages range from to 14 years meet every other Satur day afternoon at the different homes when a regular program Is can led out. The life of some noted musician is studied and each child plays a solo. The object Is to create an interest In the old masters and a taste for good music and also to give the children the experience of adapting themselves to the peculiarities of different pianos. This enables them to hold to the lit tle motto on the club pins "Never Say No” when requested to play. Two special programs are planned for this winter, one, the “Masquerade Muslcale” at which the children are to wear costumes representing the titles of the solos they are to play: the other "Parents' Day” when the moth ers are Invited, so they may obtain some Idea of what has been accom plished from the season’s work.

BACKACHE AND DESPONDENCY Are both symptoms of organic de rangement, and nature’s warning to women of a trouble which will soon er or later declare itself. How often do we hear women say, “It seems as though my back would break.” Yet they continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, dragging sensations, nerv ousness and no ambition. They do not realize that the back is the main-spring of woman's organ- _ ism and quickly indicates by aching MISS LENA NAGEL a diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has Leon for many years the most successful remedy in such cases. Mo other medicine has such a record of cures of feminine ills. Miss Lena Nagel, of 117 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes:— “I was completely worn out anti on the verge of nervous prostration. My back ached all the time. 1 had dreadful periods of pain, was subject to fits of crying and extreme nervousness, and was always weak and tired. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound completely eured me.” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints, such as Backache. Falling and Displacements, and all Organic Diseases. Dissolves and expels Tumors at an early stage. It strengthens anti tones the Stomach. Cures Apadache and Indigestion and invigorates the whole feminine system.

As to my Crocker Pen, I can only say that I am delighted with it, and its peculiar value was especially emphasized on the New England trip with President Roosevelt. It would have been a howling bother if I had been compelled to pump It full from a syringe every time the ink supply grew light, but having only to blow down the barrel I could fill it without the slight est inconvenience. It is also very pleasing to find that the pen does not soil the fingers, a fault only too com mon in the old style pen. however satis factory its writing qualities.

The infli ence of the ever present lobby Is sini larly weakened, as its strength is na urally in the greatest center of popul tion and it is disinclined to move on tl capital, although not distant in a bod There are fewer temptations in t! lesser city to c^rupt the legislator the office holder and thereby endang some branch of the public service; ai fewer big social functions and amus ments of whatever nature to distra the minds of the servants of the peop front their legitimate duties.

Theoretically speaking, the general opinion appears to be that nothing is either gained or lost so far as legisla tion is concerned by the size of the town in which the capital is located, and that the matter tf convenience of tho-future should be considered at the same time with the present. Other considerations are not looked upon here as of any great importance as compared with that one. The legislative members are divided in their opinions, those who do not care Tor outside attractions taking the posi tion that the smaller town is the one in which the best work can be secured, and those who desire recreation cutsiue of their legislative work holding the view that a larger town would be mare to their desire, each passing upon the r(uestion as to his individual tastes in the matter. POPULATION CENTER BEST. Connecticut Like Maine Located Capital Near That Point. Hartford, Conn., Feb. 3.—(Special).— Concerning the proper location of state capitals. Governor Iiollin S. Woodruff said, this afternoon: "In my opinion the capital of a state should be the t'*wn or city most convenient and acces sible to all the people of the common wealth. There are of course many fac tors to be taken into consideration in deciding this Question of convenience and accessibility, one of the most im portant being that of transportation. In Connecticut, Hartford was chosen because of its central location although New Haven is larger by many thous ands so far as population goes. For all the people of all the states a city that can be readily reached from all direc tions is prderal'le, regardless oi it* size. If it happens to be the most pop ulous and Is the most important indus trially and business—why so much the bc-ttcr. The business of a state car ■be more conveniently and more quickly administered from a centrally located capital than from one otherwise situ ated. This is especially true as regards the sessions of the General Assembly in Connecticut when the capita] musl be reac hed daily by the legislators ant others connected with that body, repeat that I believe the question of lo cation resolves itself altogether int, that of easy accessibility and convert ience from all standpoints as in Con nectirut." Secretary of State Theodore Boden wein said: "The capital of a stati should be in its most important city to 1 these reaso-ns: As a rule that city usu ally has tlie best transportation faeili t ties and is therefore the most easil; accessible for everybody throughou the state. Its business interests ar naturally larger therefore the state ca: better transact its business there. O course, if that city is centrally locate, it is altogether a desirable combination Such happens to be rhe case in Connec ticut and, years ago when the state ha two capitals. Hartford and New Haver Hartford was selected as the single cap ital because of its central location an the facilities which it would afford th state'for the convenient transaction r its business and as being easy of acces for its legislators and state officers. A that time, :,0 years ago. too. there wa a peep into the future with the belie that Hartford would grow big and hr portant with the passing years. Tli belief is being amply fulfilled.” School Funds Commissioner Cam: Spencer said: “It seems to me the the question of accessibility is the prin cipal one in discussing what is til most desirable location for a state cap ital. That was a deciding point i Connecticut 30 years ago, and th choice "f Hartford has been fully just lied. 1 can conct ive of a condition i some state where a centrally locate city would not be convenient as a cap ital. hut other things being equal I be lleve that central city should be chosei That city that can be easiest reache and can keep in touch with the whol state the easiest, which is the case wit Hartford, is to my mind the propc place to be designated as the capita A few thousands ir. population one wa or the other does not make much dii ference.” TWO VIEWS FROM KANSAS. Upon Analysis Both Favorable to An gusta Compared With Portland. upon which must depend the office holder of family during his temporary residence in the capital city. It seems to me that there are many arguments to be advanced in favor of capital lo cation in a city not wholly given over to an ambition to excel in point of pop ulation or commercial supremacy, hut those I have mentioned arc weighty enough to furnish food for reflection.” BOWDOIN COLLEGE. The College Debating Team Will De bate With Syracuse University. Brunswick, Me., Feb. 3.—(Special).— There has been some probability of an intercollegiate debate with Cornell sometime before the close of the col lege year. A letter was received some time ago from the New York college relative to arranging such a contest and the Bowdoin council has forward ed a letter making further Inquiries relative to such a contest. Bowdoin has already one debate with Syracuse University at Syracuse and if a debate can be arranged with Cornell to take place at Brunswick it would be especially pleasing, as it has been several years since an-intercol legiate debate has taken place here. Owing to the fact that Erskine, '01, who had been selected as one of the Bradbury prize speakers at tlio recent trial, is to he out of college during a pftion of the coming semester, W. Drummond, ’07, has been named as a speaker, Drummond being an alter nate on the affirmative side of the question. A. L. Robinson, ’08, has been named as the alternate to take Drum mond's place. The following Seniors have accepted positions with the International Bak ing Co., of New York and will enter on their duties after Commencement: Arthur C. Chadbourno of Hallowell, Charles H. Bennett of Yarmouth, Leonard D. Mlncher of Mattawam keag, and George H. Morrill of W ood fords. Seth G. Haley of Old Orchard, has been offered a position but has not yet accepted. There is some talk of forming an Oxford County Club in college. There are a large number of men from that county in college at the present time and such an organization should be a pleasant and useful one. Carpenters have been at work laying the floor for a new dance hall in the Delta Upsilon house. The building, formerly used as a stable before the house was moved to its present posi 1 tion is being entirely remodelled in side, and when completed will make a fine dance hall.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY Bowditch, Webster Co., Augusta, G«o W. Dorr of Waterville, Me., Will Re fund Money if Mi-o-na Fails to Curs. You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by Bowditch. Webster Co., Augusta, Geo. W. Dorr, Waterville, Me., under a guarantee to refund the money unless they cure, when no other treatment for stomach troubles is sold In this manner. The answer is simple and conclusive. Other medicines for stomach troubles merely digest the> food, while Mi-o-na strengthens the whole digestive sys tem so that it soon becomes able to care for all the food that is eaten. If you do not use your arm or leg *®r a month the muscles become flabby and weak and you have to resort artificial help. It is the same way wit the stomach muscles. If they are no used, they become so weak that it necessary to continue using a digestive with the food you eat. On the other hand, when you use Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows s strong that you can give up the use o medicine. Mi-o-na costs 50c. a box and more real good than a dozen boxe* ordinary digestive tablets. The** of this is shown in the fa®* guarantee, absolute and unqualif e given by Bowditch, Webster Augusta, Geo. W. Dorr, W aterv ille, with every box of Mi-o-na. Waterville Note*.
