DAILY ADDITION TO PREVAILING SENTIMENT United States Senator LaFollette Formerly Governor of Wiscon= sin, Gives Strong Testimony FOR SMALLER CITY CAPITALS y Ohio aird South Carolina Officials Agree and Florida With Ex ception of the Governor. One of the foremost opponents of the location of a state capital in its largest city is found in the person of United States Senator Ro1%rt M. LaFollette, formerly governor of Wisconsin, best known for his fight for legislation favorable to the people and his untiring opposition to the forces of corruption and corporate influence. During his sendee as governor of Wisconsin he effectually opposed the removal of the capital from Madison to Milwaukee, taking the position that such a step would make for the benefit of just those evils which lie was fighting. He even carried his belief that the state government should be free from the undesirable influences of the metropolis to such an extent that lie changed the place for the holding of the state convention from Milwaukee to Madison in the interest of good government. Gov ernor Davidson holds a similar view fearing the organized machines of large corporations in the metropolis. Practically all Wisconsin backs up this stand, the value of good government being given as the reason. South Carolina officials while laying stress on the importance of a central location, arc unanimous in favor of having the cap ital in a smaller city whenever possible, citing the advantages which result from such a choice. Ohio with a capital located almost in the center of the state, considers such a location important and refuses to listen to any arguments to put it elsewhere on account of the hardship and expense which its location in an extreme corner of the state would work. Florida officials who have spoken on the matter are a unit in admitting that the machinery of government is more liable to corporate manipulation if located in the metropolis. Governor Froward however in spite of this, bolds that the metropolitan location lias its advantages, but State Comptroller Croom is strong in his denunciation of the evils which result from such a choice. I

WISCONSIN HEARD FROM. Only Doubte" Finally Decides in Favor of Smaller Capital. Madison, W'is.. Fob. 6.—(Special).— Only a fortnight ago the state of Wis consin started to rebuild the capitol bere °n the site i.f the old state House which Was badly damaged by fire two years •fro. The new building is expected to cost from five to eight millions and to take •'Rht years in building. The struc ture will be In the form of a St. An drews cross and two years are given to the building of each wing. The old building will bo in use in the mean time but will gradually give way as the nc'v portions become available until eventually all the present State House be wiped out. Thj building follows a thorough threshing out of the proposition by Press, people and legislators whether capitol should be located in metropolis ®f state or some smaller city and the Verdict has been overwhelmingly in fa vor of the smaller city. During many legislative sessions hills come in to have capital removed to Milwaukee, but the measure always failed of necessary vote in spite of big Inducements offered the state. _ When a new capitol was practically decided upon two years ago several of ‘he larger cities made strong bids for ‘he capitol, hut Governor Da Follette, n°" t'nited States senator, fought the removal. La Follette took the position mat the larger cities afforded greater In creese 2.4ii?,OT for twelve ■®“ths ending Pec. 31st, H06. This is the ,*ConJ of the Mgar. 7-20-4 S? yr». New Kn*fmod's favorite opportunities for corruption of legisla tors and he carried this idea so far as to have the place for holding the Re publican ytate convention changed from Milwaukee to Madison, reversing the practice of years and giving poli ticians a jolt not yet forgiven. Governor Davidson, who is a mcm her of the commission building the I present new capitol for iseonsin, I said: “I believe thoroughly in the loca tion of the state capitals in the smaller I cities. The atmosphere of the small j er place is more wholesome than that of the metropolis and consequently there is less temptation and danger of cor ruption. Corporations have seats o! strength in the larger cities and would have larger and freer opportunities ot exercising baneful effect on legislation I than in the smaller place where there I Is greater danger of exposure. In a large city the legislature would be swallowed up. its dignified character largely lost and respect for its enact ments consequently lessened.” Secretary of State James A. Frear believes there are two sides to the proposition nearly balanced. “The location of the capitol in a big city.’ he says, ‘‘gives an opportunity for ful ler and wider discussion in the press of proceedings than in'a smaller city. Thus hig papers of St. Paul frequently give two pages to the legislature which oven the bigger papers of Chicago oan ra>t give to proceedings in Springfield ijtbink that wider publicity and sharp light of the metropolitan press Would offset- and tend to prevent cor ruption that would threaten in large: cities. The danger of corruption is not so great now owing to high tons that pervades private and public walks as result of awakening of na tional conscience. Big cities have bet (Continued on Page Ten.) i A HARDJiGHf And Thrilling Rescuss Dur ing Boston’s Last Fire. Two of the Thirteen Injured Ore In Critical State. i Firemen Were Greatly Hampered by the Severe Storm. Boston, Feb. 6.—One man was killed and at least 13 other people were in jured in a fire that destroyed the bhvk occupied by Hunt Brothers’ .la^art rnont store and several tenements on Tremont street in the Roxbury Crossing district early today, causing a mone tary loss upwards of $100,000. The dead man is Jacob Goid, who was overcome by smoke and died before medical as sistance could reach him. Two of the r injured were taken to the City hospital in a critical condition. They are Mrs. Kate Glass and her baby, only two days old. The mother’s condition was serious and it was thought the shock might result fatally, while fears were felt that the little one could not recov er from the effects of inhaling smoke. The fire department was hampered by tne huge snowdrifts that blocked the city streets and the apparatus sum moned from long distances by the fourth alarm, had a hard time in get ting to the scene. Many thrilling res cues were made by the police, firemen and members of the Shawmut Athlet ic Club, which was holding a meeting m the block at the time the flames wore discovered. The blaze started in the department store which occupies the first floor of the brick and wooden block at 1275 and 1277 Tremont street and runs back to Columbus avenue. On the Tremont street side of the building the tene ments were occupied by 20 families, to talling about 120 persons, and many of these were taken down ladders and down the stairs. Gold was overcome while attempting to make his way down the stairway, his unconscious body be ing found and carried out of the build ing by a fireman. Party walls and the determined workxif the firemen saved the adjoining structures, which were used as tenements, but the occupants were driven out by the smoke. St. John's Episcopal church, nearby, and houses beyond the reach of the fire were thrown open to the homeless people, but many suffered severely from the intense cold. Four lc.ddcrmcn were hurt by being thrown from their ladders by a hot air explosion, but none of the injuries are considered especially serious. The flames once broke away from the fire men after the third alarm had sum moned additional help and a fourth alarm was necessary before the flames could be confined to the Hunt block. The building was owned by Henrietta Goldsmith, who places her loss at ful ly $25,000. and the department store conducted by Thomas F„ and Henry Hunt, sustained damage said by the firm to amount to over $73,000. The blare was discovered at about 1 o'clock and the “all out” signal was not sound ed until after 7 o’clock.

Whai the Maine Members Are Doing In Washington. Washington, D. C., Feb. .—(Special). —For several years Governor Uurleigh introduced a bill for an appropriation for a l.ight House and Fog-signal at Isle-au-Haot in Hancock county. Dur ing the last Congress he was successful in securing an appropriation of $14,000 for that purpose in Act of Congress approved June 23, 1907. In September last the matter of title was placed in the hands of the Attorney General of the United States for investigation. Flans were prepared for the Light House and Signal-station in October and have been approved by the Light House Board. It is now expected that the title will be cleared up so that the light and station may lie erected dur ing the present year. Their construc tion will add very much to the security of life and the safety of ocean travel on that part of the Maine coast. The I’ostoltice Department is doing something occasionally to enlarge the rural free delivery service in Maine. It is not often that a new route is or dered in, because rural free delivery has been pretty generally established in most of the Maine counties where the conditions are favorable for it. But there is quite a field for extending present routes and of arranging the service so that it will accommodate a low more patrons. In numerous in stances the carriers can serve more patrons than at present. Gov. Burleigh has busied himself of late in arranging several matters of this kind and has received notice from the Postofiice Department that two of his requests of this character have been complied with. One is the exten sion of rural delivery service from Ells worth. Maine, with one carrier to be effective April 1, next. Another is the extension ut for his large appropria tion for the improvement of the Pen obscot river at Bangor. These were as interesting appropriation items for Maine as have been acted upon in the House since the Omnibus Public Building bill was passed at the last session. Representative Allen was especially jubilant because, besides his appropriation for Cape Porpoise Har bor, he secured on the bill an authori zation for some three or four surveys for projects down on the southwest coast of Maine. In connection with the announcement that Chairman Burton may retire at the close of this Congress and take, up work on some other committee, there is a matter of Maine interest in that Representative Alexander of Buffalo, a graduate of Bowdoin and native of Richmond, Maine, may have a chance to become chairman. He is now a veteran member of the House. has served long on the River and Harbor Committee, and is very familiar with j its work. The choice of a chairman (Continued on Page Eight.)

Tells Jerome He Will Take Advan tage of Every Legal Device to Save Harry Thaw’s Life. HIS WITNESSES PROVE OF VALUE. Agree That Thaw Appeared Irra tional at Time of Shooting Lively Tilts Between Counsel. Xew York, Keb. 6.—The defence of Harry K. Thaw under the direction ol Attorney Dolphin M. Dolmas of Cali fornia, began to assume its shape to day and when an adjournment was ta ken testimony had been placed before the jury to the efTect that Stanford White had been heard to make a threat to kill the defendant—coupling the threat with the display of a revolver— that Thaw’s actions following the kill ing of White on the roof of Madison Square Garden were considered by sev eral eye witnesses to have been ‘‘Irra tional;” that an uncle of the defend ant was insane; and that Evelyn Nes bit Thaw passed a note to her husband during dinner at the Cafe Martin the evening of the tragedy; that District Attorney Jerome has this note and re fused, on the demand of the defence, to introduce it in evidence. So far, in deed, had Thaw's defence progressed that at the close of today’s proceedings that the announcement was made by Mr. Delmas that either the wife or the mother of the defendant would be the first witness on the stand tomorrow morning. The threat against Thaw's life was made two years and a half before the tragedy occurred. District Attorney Jeroim objected to the introduction of She evidence and declared the defence j was not understood by him to bo one j of self-defence. Mr. Delmas replied that the defence intended to take ad vantage of every legal device allowed in the state of New York, be it insanity, self-defence or any other legitimate lustiflcation of taking of a human life. This was but the first of a series of in teresting tilts between the district at torney and Mr. Delmas during the day 'nd it was agreed that Mr. Jerome had found Thaw’s new counsel a foeman ■'•orthy of his best efforts. The two men ire of widely different types—Mr. Jer ome quicfv. passionate, forceful, sar castic and brilliant at ridicule, Mr. Del mas calm, courteous, resourceful, wit ty, crafty anil ethical, to whom the dis trict attorney was always "the learned district attorney.” There was nev^r a deviation from this method of address. P.enjamin Roman, formerly a stage doorkeeper at the Madison Square theater, was the witness who told of White’s threat. Boman was offered as a witness yesterday, but the district at torney was successful at that time in blocking the evidence by objections. Mr. Delmas fodny withdrew the objection able question and Mr. Jerome In turn withdrew his protest against the wit ness. Roman declared that on Christ mas eve. 100.1. Stanford White came to the stage door about 11.15 P. M. and asked for Miss Xesbit. The doorkeeper told him the actress, who was then playing in “The Girl from Dixie." had gone home. White at first accused him of a falsehood and then asked who had been her escort. “Mr. Thaw,” the witness said he re plied. “Oh. that Pitsburger," commented the architect, who. to make sure the (Continued on Page Five.)

When it comes to prescription mak ing none but the best drugs are good enough.

THE THAW TRIAL. (Continued from Page One.) actress had gone, went to her dressing room on the stage. Not finding her there. White, according to Boman, walked rapidly out of the theater, with a revolver in his hand, and muttering: ••I'll find and kill that-before daylight.” The witness said he believed the threat to be directed against Harry Thaw and told him of it several days later when they chanced to meet on Fifth avenue. He also told a detective about the incident. District Attorney Jerome cross-examined the witness for more than an hour, but Boman adhered closely to his story in every detail. Once or twice the witness became a trifle confused as to dates and as to bis movements during the past five vWrs and said he had not been regular jy employed during that period. “Have you been paid any money by this defendant or his attorneys?" con tinued Mr. Jerome at the close of his examination. “No,” came the emphatic reply from the witness. --ve you been promised any?" •'So.* anas MeCaleb, the young Califor j'1.. who was with Thaw’s party the Eisi.t of the tragedy, was a witness during the afternoon session. It was he who testified that at dinner that even j. Mrs. Thaw had suddenly asked her husband for a pencil, scribbled a few words an-1 passed a folded piece of pa per to him. What was in this note the witness did n >t know and he was not allowed, because of an objection by the district attorney, to testify as to what change of manner, if any, it produced in Thaw. It lias been reported from time to time that it was in this note that young Mrs. Thaw, referring to White, wrote to her husband: ‘‘That ___!. (blackguard) is here.” "We un derstand," said Mr. Delmas, “that this note is now in the possession of the learned district attorney. We want to get at the contents of that slip of pa -er believing to be material evidence. We demand that the learned district attorney produce it.” Hr. Jerome sat silent. He tugged at his short, stubby moustache. There v as absolute and dramatic stillness in the court room as Mr. Dl'ments he took odd jobs uslrerii 10 theaters, etc. Thaw’s sisters evidently became re assured by the rather tedious cross-ex amination for after George Carnegie had gone to them and explained the character of the testimony they re turned to the court room. Harry Thaw who had shown alert in terest during the testimony as to the threats said to have been made against him by White gave evidence of be coming fatigued and yawned several times. Roman said he went to Long Island City in the spring season of 1905. But when called upon to show his move ments he concluded that it was in Au gust admitting that he had been mis taken. “Have you received any compensa tion in this case?” asked Mr. Jerome. “No. sir, I have not,” said Bowman emphatically. “Been promised any?” “No.” Referring to his statement that he had told Thaw of- White’s threat he re peated the statement. “To whom did you first tell the story?” “To Detective Sergt. John Herliby.” “To whom next?” “To Mr. Thaw.” Roman said he did not tell any one else. He said the incident occurred on Christmas evening, 1903. “You are sure of that?” asked the district attorney. "Yes.” “When Mr. White returned from the stage what did he do?” “He went by mo muttering. He took the pistol from his pocket and held it until he reached the stage doer. As he pushed this open he replaced the revolver in his pocket.” “What other conversation did you have with Mr. White?” “When I told him Miss Nesbit had gone he asked me with whom. ’Ml* Thaw,’ I replied.” ‘O. that Pittsburger,’ Mr. White said.” Witness said Miss Nesbit had gone with Thaw in an automobile. Thaw was alone. “Mr. Roman have you told us every thing Stanford White said that night?” “Yes, sir.” “Then you never heard Stanford White say that he would kill Harry K. Thaw?” "No.” “Did he* mention Thaw's name?” “No.” “When did you first toll this story to defendant’s counsel?” "I don’t remem ber the date of the letter, but I think in December last.” “How did you do it?" “I wrote a let ter.” On Mr. Jerome’s demand Mr. Hart ridge promised to produce that letter. “fid you think this story was of im portance to the defence?” “Yes.” “And vet you waited from June to De cember before telling his counsel?’’ “Yes.” He then told of making an affidavit in relation to his story. William C. Howard was next called, lie testified that he did not know Stan ford White, but that a man had been pointed out to him as White. Mr. Del mas asked: “Did you ever have a conversation with the man who was pointed out to vou as Stanford White?" “Yes, in Madison Square Garden In the latter part of June. 19M.” “State the whole circumstances.” Mr. Jerome objecti-d on the ground that there had been no Identification of Stan ford White as the man with whom Mr. Howard talked. Mr. Howard said ho could not identify the man with whom he talked by a photograph unless the picture, was taken of Mr. White ■while wearing a hat. MV. Delmas thereupon withdrew the witness until some future time. Martin Green, a newspaper man, the next witness, said he was on the Madi son Square roof garden the night of the tragedy, sitting at a table not more than 90 feet from the table at which Stanford White rat. ••When did you first see Harry Thaw that night?” “After the shots were fired. 11,. was standing over Stanford White. "When did you next see him’’ “In the hallway of the roof gaiden near the elevator.” “What was his manner?" “lie held the pistol high above his head,” said Mr. Green. “He was very paic, his eyes seemed about to pop out of his head and his hair was hanging well down on his forehead." “In your opinion was ids action ra tional or irrational?” I “I object.” shouted Mr. Jerome. “That is for the jury to determine. If the witness is a competent expert let th quest on be ‘Was ho sane or insane?’ That is the point at issue.” Mr. Delmas quoted an authority to sup port bis question but the district attor ney contended that the derision quoted has been superseded by later opinions. Thereupon the court ordered a recess un til 2 o'clock. during which time the at torneys were, to consult authorities. Immediately after W itness Homan left the stan 1 he was served with a subpoena for the prosecution. Counsel tor the prosecution declared that Bom.in will not be permitted to Wave the jurisdiction o: the court if it can be prevented. or the first time since the beginning the trial the courtroom during the af noon session was crowded to its ca itv by the general public, a large por of the audience being women. Jus Fitzgerald’s warning of the morning t there might be testimony that might 1 shock the sensibilities seemed to in ns’;. rather than decrease the number women who sought admittance. Wo n who came from idle curiosity bad difficulty in passing court officers to on they gave a friendly nod. while orters and others whose business cnll theni to the trial had trouble in get g within the doors, s sonr. as the afternoon session open Mr Jerome took tip the argument rinst allowing the witness. Green, to ;w-ev the question ns to whether in h:? nion Thaw’s manner after rb.oot.ng ,ite was rational or irrational. The tr.ct attorney cited half a dozen de ions which he declared upheld his con ition that Green was not a propel tnoss to testily as to Thaw s mt ntal idition. T ustice Fitzgerald overruled Mr. J> ne’s objection end Mr. Green was di Ted to answer the question. ■Thaw's actions were irrational, ht under stand the first name." "From what you saw and heard was Mr. Thaw, in your opinion, rational or irrational?” “Irrational.” Mr. McCaleb said that he and Mr. Belle dined with Mr. and Mrs. Thaw on tile night of June 25, at the Cafe Martin, where they arrived at about 7.40. "During that dinner.” asked Mr. Del mas, “did you notire any communica tion between Mrs. Thaw and her hus band at the table?” “I remember she asked him for a pencil and afterwards she passed him a folded paper.” “Did Mrs. Thaw make any remark?” “Not that I heard.” Di 1 you notice any change in Thaw's appearance?” “I did not pay much at tention.” “We understand.” said Mr. Dehnas. "that the note from Mrs. Thaw to her husband is in the hands of th learned district attorney. I now call upon him to produce the paper.” There was a dramatic scene in the court room. Mr. Jerome sat tugging away at his short stubby moustache. He did not move a muscle of his face. He app- nred to l.o oblivious to tli" command the de fence. After waiting some little time in silence, Mr. Dolmas continued: "i take it, your honor, that th" ac tion of tin learned district attorney in not. replying is not an act of discourtesy, but his conception of what are his du ties in tlie matter. I shall therefore have to try to gr to his appear ance?" asked the district attorney. "I mean his appearance, his looks. It v.'fis so pronounced.” “Now wait a minute,” called tilt district attorney. “We have talked this over before. Listen to my ques tions.” Then like a Hash Mr. Jerome snapped out: “Did this man owe you any money?” “No." "Did you ever try to borrow any money from him?” “Never.” On re-direet examination Mr. Mc Caleb was asked when he had first met the district attorney. “Some months ago.” “When “At the Union Club." “Did you ever make a statement tom was in an uproar 0f laughter and Vio attendants had to rap for order. “If anyone again laughs in this court room he will be removed,” said Justice Fitzgerald. “How many drinks had you had before you reached the. one with me?” resumed Mr. Jerome. The witness could not re call. Mr. Delmas objected to a further ex amination along this lino and when ho lmd been sustained by the court he him self asked the witness: “What did the learned district attor ney drink with you?” “The sair.o that I did.” Mr. McCaleb was excused and Lionel Strauss, who said he was a portrait painter, was called. Mr. Strauss is a. very young man of pale face and rather long black hair. He said he was on the Madison Square roof garden the night of the tragedy. He sat near Stanford White. The shots of Thaw's pistol at tracted li's attention. I first saw Thaw's face.” he said, “and niv whole attention was also ab sorbed by it. It was imprinted on my memory and remains there still.” “Describe iho appearance of his face." “His face was very pale. His eyes gave the impression of bulging. His mouth was set.” "Judging from what you saw of his ap pearance and his acts, was he. in your opinion, rational or irrational?” “Irra tional.” Mr. Strauss on cross-examination said he was not an expert on mental dis eases. Dr. John E. Deemar of Kittaining, Pa., who was brought forward yesterday to testify as to an alleged strain of insan ity in the family of Mrs. Wm. Thaw, but whose testimony at the, lime was ruled out, was recalled by Mr. Delmas. Mrs. Wm. Thaw was n Miss Copley. Dr. Dee ntar is the Copley family physician. Dr. Deemar was asked concerning Ilonty Copley and John Itoss, the former an uncle, and the latter a cousin of the defendant, when Mr. Jerome interrupted and declared that he felt he must re j new his objections to the testimony. He I declared the relationship of the cousin was more remote than is contemplated by the law. Mr. Jerome also declared that he based the renewal of Ids objoe ti tn on the ground that the character of the defendant's insanity has not been shown. j "I don’t know that he is insane or if he is that the insanity is hereditary in 1 form.” Mr. Delmas then asked the witness if j Henry Cpoley, the uncle of t!»“ defend ant, was insane. “Yes,” he replied. "What was the character of his insan ity''” j Mr. Jerome objected and said that the taking of the testimony should not pro coed until the proper foundation had boon laid. Mr. Delmars then asked that the court a Ijeurn, although it was before the usual tune. Mr. Jerome consented on the agicemont that Mr. Delmas would toll him who would be. the tirst witness to morrow. Mr. Delmas. aft< r consulting with his associates, announced: •‘The first witness we will call tomor row will be either the wife or the mother of Harry K. Thaw.” Adjournment was then ordered.

Move to Secure Greater Equifir.er, Efficiency and Revenue. Chicago. Feb. u.—The Ilocord-II.^rnid today says: By adion taken yesterday the railroads of the country have pav ed the way to drag hack to their cof fers the millions they recently hand l'd out to their employes in the way of increased wages. The shipper is to pay. If a vote now being taken on the proposition to increase the rates on neaily all of the main commodities JO per cent., by increasing the minimum which it is permitted to load into a ear, goes into effect, millions of dolla.s yearly will be added to the revenues of the traffic lines. The first act i t steps were taken yesterday at a meeting held here, i which was attended by the executive officials of railroads Hast having a total of more than 100,000 miles of lines. The roads initially interested extend throughout the territory east of this city and north of the Ohio river clear to the seaboard and north into Can ada. In this territory freight rates are con trolled by the Central Freight Associa tion where jurisdiction extends to Buf falo and Pittsburg, and by the Trunk lane Association, whose jurisdiction extends from these cities to the Atlan tic ocean. It was stated last night that if tin* plan met with any opposition, it j would not he carried out. I The meeting, which was held yester 1 day. however, is the outcome of a well laid plan which originated with the Eastern presidents and which was passed on by them to their executive traffic officials for perfecting and plac ing before the various lines for adop tarn. i If the pian is successful in the East, it undoubtedly will be followed by the 1 lines south of the Ohio river and then by the lines to the Pacific ocean. It is difficult to estimate how much the proposed increase will bring the 1 railroads In added revenue, but the 1 sum will be a largo one. Traffic effi j cials however, state that it will not be sufficient to offset even the inereas 1 ed expanse to the railroads occasioned by increased wages and estimated at (between M00,QUO,000 and $110,000,000 an nually. I Prominent officials explain that the 'increase in the minimum weights al lowed in cars will be such as will re suit in benelit to the entire country ’j and will give the railroad in effect the 1 use of from 20 to 30 per cent, added equipment. This increase In equipment efficiency will be brought out by an increase in the size of the loads in freight cars.

Addreaa all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH A FLY NT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, February 7, 1907. February's first blizzard was bad enough here In Maine, but Massachu setts seems to have been hit worse by it. Somehow the papers all feel obliged to explain that the young man was •~ot from Pittsburg who gave $1,000 pearl necklaces to each of 15 women guests and handsome diamond rings to each of 15 men guests at a birthday dinner in New York. The Eastern Argus thinks the «-mount raised for enlarging, remodel ling and refurnishing the Augusta House is too small. If -*u>h should prove to be the case we do not think that even the esteemed Argus will question the ability of the men behind this movement to raise another $60,000. I>*t not the soul of the Argus be troubled. The stockholders of the Au gusta Hotel Company have started out to construct a first-class hotel In this city, and they will put in what ver amount of money is necessary to secure it. A Richmond paper makes a sugges tion regarding the disposal of the bai lie (lags of the Confederacy which seems to be meeting with the warm ap proval of a great many of the South ern people. That is to deposit those torn flags in the Robert K. Lee chapel of the Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va. The idea is to ar range them about the statue of Gen. l*ee and so protect them that they may remain there for all time. As it Is now they are scattered all over the South at the state capitals and in the keeping of various organizations. It would be much better to have them collected anil no place would be more fitting than the one suggested. By the retirement of Senator Drydtn from the senatorial fight in Xew Jer sey. Maine will lose one of its sons in tho upper brunch of Congress. Though popular with the people of his state and a man whose private and public life were free from scandal. Senator Drjdin's connection with one of the grtjat insurance companies had aroused much opposition to his return to the Senate. He had the support of all but half~n dozen Republicans in the New Jersey legislature hut their support was nectvsary to his election and so n ciedfdlock resulted. After a two weeks' fight Senator Dryden has withdrawn, giving ill health as his reason. It is doubtless true that his health has suf fered from the strain, but there is no doubt that he realized the futility of keeping up tlie si niggle longer. Commander Peaty's declaration in a recent address that it is our “national duty and destiny" to discover the South Pole as well as the North Pole lias attracted much attention and a wide variety of comment. Says the Springfield Republican: "The toea is so original and heroic, that it must be hard for anyone, even a scoffer at heart, to say him nay. The discovery of both th" poles. North and South, measures the gallant exploret's ambi tion for the honor and glory of his country; and, after all. wherein does it fall below ‘the mastery of the Pacific as a wholesome national Ideal? If Commander Peary sees out- duty and destiny in linding the North and South poles quite as much as in certain other expensive enterprises Mr til" con quest of a warmer part of the earth's surface, should he be laughed down? Jty no means. It will occur to every body that he is the person, of all men. to undertake the conquest of the Ant aretie. after he has conquered the in nermost frozen citadel of the Arctic. May his years warrant the task." Instances of two brothers in the same Maine Legislature continue to multiply. The topic was brought to the front by the circulation of an item to the effect that the present case of the Irving brothers, George W. Irving ol Carilniu in the Senate and A. E. Irv ins of Presque Isle in the House, was the first case of the kind in Maine's his tory. The Journal pointed out that there were two brothers in the Legislature of 1S70, Hon. Marquis D. L. Lane repre senting Cumberland county in the Sen ate mid liis brother, John W. Lane, representing Hollis in the House. Now we are reminded that there was no need to go back a generation for such an instance. In the Legislature of 1903. only four years ago. Hon. B. M. Pike was a member of the Senate from .Washington county and his brother. J. C. Pike, was in the House from Lubec. Moreover, the Pike brothers are resi dents of the same town which was not true of the Lane brothers or the Irv ing brothers. The Irving brothers, by the way, were in the last Legislature, as well as this one. thus giving them a double distinction. The Increased Cost of Building. There is a disposition in some quarters in speaking: of the proposition to change the capital of the State from Augusta to Portland, and build in the latt' r city a new Capitol, to belittle the cost of such an undertaking. The truth must not be lost sight of that before such a new structure could be erected the cost would run far beyond the orig inal estimates. This has been the ex perience in every other state and it would certainly be the case here i-.i Maine. It would not be a matter of half a million dollars or a million dol lars. but at least *4,000,000 or ta.000,000, and the taxpayers of Maine would have to pay the bills for all this outlay. Comparisons have been made with 1SS0 when Portland made one of il.s periodical attempts to capture the State capital, and when the people of Maine through their representatives decided wilh much emphasis that such a change was not desirable. At that time estimates were made as to the cost cf replacing the present State Capitol, or at least of building a new structure in another city in place of the present one, and it has been as sumed that the cost of such replacement at the present time would be no greater than it would have been at that time. This assumption is not at all in ac cordance with the facts of the case. Since 1SS9. as everybody knows who has had any experience in building, there has been a great increase, both in the cost of material and of labor. To get some definite facts regarding this increase the Journal has secured defi nite figures from men well qualified in such matters and whose statements nobody will questior^ First, there is the matter of granite, a material which would figure very largely in the work of building a new Capitol. L. L>. Merchant of Hallowell, for many years the secretary of the Hallowell Granite Co., tells the Journal that the cost of dressed granite is at least 25 per cent, more at the present time than it was in 18S9. This increased cost comes almost wholly front tiie in creased cost of labor, since the cost of tlte raw material is the same. In 1859 tjuarrymen were paid $1.75 per day, wnere now the average wage is $1.90; cutters received $2.75 per day where now the average wage is $3.08; team sters, engineers, etc., received an aver age wage of $2.00 in 1889 as compared with $2.24 at the present time. These are actual hgures and are substantially lhe same at the other Maine quarries as they are at Hallowell. Moreover, it is to he remembered that in 1889 a day's work consisted of 10 hours where now it consists of 8 hours. These different factors, as stated before, make dress*-d granite cost 25 per cent, more at the present time than in $£89. Next take the matter of lumber. The Journal's interview regarding lum bet was with Ira H. Randall, president of the Augusta Lumber Co., a man of long experience in the lumber business and whose figures nobody will question. The increase in the cost of lumber over 1889 is much more than in the case of gianite. In 1^89 two-inch spruce plank was selling for $12 per M, where it now sells for $22 per M; spruce boards for $10 per M where they are now sold at the mill for $18 per M. The increasedt cost of spruce lumber is less, however, than the increase in the cost of other woods which would figure much more largi iy in the construction of a build ing like a State Capitol. Southern pine cost front $18 to $20 per M in 1SS9 where its present cost is $.10 to $35 per 51. The woods mainly used in such a structure would be cypress, quartered oak, and white wood for purposes of finish, and the cost of these is fully 100 per cent, more than in 1889. It is Mr. Randall's conservative estimate that the wood work of a new Capitol, considering material and labor, would be from 100 to 125 per cent, more at the present time than in 1889. Consider in the third place the in creased cost of labor at the present time over 1889. Our figures regarding this are from A. A. Nichols, the sec re tary of the Maine Federation of Labor. They are not for any particular local ity, but are a general average for the wages throughout the State for brick layers, plasterers, masons, masons' tenders, carpenters, etc. Whore brick layers, plasterers and masons were get ting $3.00 in 1889. the average wage is $3.50 at the present time. Where masons’ tenders were getting $1.50 to $1.75 in 1889 they are now getting $1.75 to $2.00, and where carpenters were getting from $1.75 to $2.50 in 1889 they are now getting from $2.50 to $3.00. These are the average wages, let It bo remembered, and Mr. Nichols states that the union wages for all this class of work are higher in Portland titan in Augusta or throughout the State as a whole. In comparing these wages, if is also to be remembered that in 1889 a day's work consisted of 10 hours, w hile at the present time it consists of eight. Thus we see that the cost of dressed granite is 25 per cent, greater now than in 1889, the cost of lumber at least 100 per cent, greater and the cost of labor from 25 to 50 per cent, greater than it a as in 1899 when Maine decided that a L-hange in the seat of government and ihe building of a Capitol in Portland ivculd be an extravagance and sorne hing unnecessary front any point of view. It would be. therefore, a stiil greater extravagance at the- present J lime, and there are even fewer argu monts for such a change now than there were a score of years ago. The taxpayers of Maine have many other things for which tln-y want their money spent, things which would tend to ben efit all the people of the State, promote its welfare and give it the blessings of good government, but a change in the seat of government, and the erection of a Capitol costing millions and millions of dollars would not be a ben- fit to all the people of the State, would not pro mote the welfare of the State, and would not give the State better gov ernment than it now enjoys. Moreover, it would give the State a debt which would be a great burden for many years to come. A correspondent whose communica tion is ptfblished elsewhere in this is sue, refers to the sneering and dis paraging attitude which has been as sumed towards Augusta by the repre sentatives and the press of Portland in matter of the removal of the State capital, and contrasts it with the court-'ous manner in which Portland has been used by the opponents of re moval. We do not believe the spirt that is being shown by Portland is to be attributed to the disposition to ar rogate superiority anu to look down upon places of smaller population which is sometimes characteristic of a large city. We prefer to find an ex planation for it in the logic of the situation. Portland's case consisted in the assertion that Augusta has not adequate hotel accommodations. Now that the solid citizens of Augusta have pledged themselves to fully remedy any defect of this character, Portland finds herself in the position of the young attorney who discovered at the commencement ol' a trial that hi- had no case. In this predicament he sought the counsel of an -il l attorney who sagely advised him lo “abuse the other fellow." Under the circum stances our people should overlook the present attitude of Portland towards the capital city. She recognizes Un fad that she has no case and is “abus ing the other fellow.” Mrs. Sage has at last begun the long promised work of disposing of those millions and Troy, X. Y., gels the first slice—in fact, the first two slices. Mr. and Mrs. Sage lived in Troy for a con siderable time, and it was from there that lie was elected a member of Con gress. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, of which Mr. Sage was for some 10 years a trustee, is to receive $1,000,000 from Mrs. Sage for a new de partment to he called the Russell Sage School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Willard Seminary of Troy also receives $100,000. Mrs. Sage has always maintained a lively inter est in the seminary, to which she has before given generously and of which she is a graduate. It is hard to please Hawaii. Tv.o years ago it was complaining that the Japanese would not stay. Their la bor was essential to the successful prosecution of tlie sugar industry. The prospect of a speedy close r>{ the ;dus sian-Japsne.se war drew the workers front the plantations where they were ^laboring for others to Corea, Formosa, Saghalicn and other places where Japanese dominance gave promise of ultimate ownership of their own homes. Now the lamentation from these same Hawaiian Islands is that theAjapanese are coming in. Personal Notes. J.

Another Good Town Heard From. (Waldo County Commercial.) The cities and towns 'which want the state Capitol are multiplying like the r votes for Burnham? An Unnecessary Agitation. (Fairfield Journal.) 'rhe biennial agitation regarding the removal of the State capitol to some other city than Augusta is now under way and it will amount to the same that it lias in years past, nothing. Portland is working hard tor it and is making many promises, while many places in the eastern part of the State, Bangor in particular are making a strong light against it. The Augusta papers are presenting opinions from many prominent people all over the country te> show that Augusta is the correct place for the State's Jaw-mak ers to assemble. No Reason for Change. (Machias Republican.) Tlte Portland people are making their periodical attempt to have the capitol moved from Augusta to that city. It looks however as though the attempt is doomed to fail,, as there scents really no good reason why such a change should he made. Not many years ago a large amount of money was expended on the State House and there is still plenty of room to b’lild on. Augusta is nearer tlie center of the State than Portland, and while a much smaller city, still its accommodations seems sufficient to accommodate all who wish to visit the city during the legislative sessions. 1 A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING Ballade of the Morning Newspaper.

S-’kowhogan, Me., Feb. fi.— (Special). —This town was visited by another fire early Wednesday morning. An alarm was pulled at 3.5.r> in from box 34 at the postofiiee for a blaze in the roar of the three-story brick building on Water street, owned and occupied by John 1). Symonds as a bakery and restaurant. Just how the fire caught is a mys tery. It broke out in a small frame building which connects the main building with the frame stable in the rear and which is used as a work room. The llamcs rapidly communi cated with the stable which was bad ly gutted, in fact, practically ruined. All the bakery stock in the work room was spoiled, but it is thought some of the flour was not damaged. Three horses in the stable were suffocated by the dense smoke before they were rescued, but all the pungs, delivery wagons and harnesses were saved. It was at first thought that three pigs in the stable basement were burned, but they escaped. The firemen responded promptly to the alarm, but were somewhat hamper ed by the deep snow. They were fav ored. however, as has been the ease at nearly every fire for the past two years, by no wind and also by the fact that the roofs of all the buildings were heavily covered with snow. Had it not been for this and with a wind blowing it would have been impossible to save tile old skating rink building, several small dwelling houses in the rear of the stable or the brick store occupied by Parker Nay. The damage to the main building by smoke will be slight if any and no wat er was turned into the front shop of the bakery or the restaurant. Mr. Sy nionds estimates his loss at $4000. All the buildings and the stock were in sured in the John C. Griffin agency. FROM A SICK BED. Editor Campbell, Ellsworth, Rescued from His Burning Home. Ellsworth, Me.. Feb. 6.—Robert M. Campbell, editor of the Ellsworth En terprise, a weekly publication, was res cued with difficulty today from bis residence, which was destroyed by fire. When the blaze was discovered he was confined in bed by illness and was car ried out by neighbors barely in time to escape the flames. No serious ef fects were anticipated. None of the furnishings was saved. The loss was estimated at $6000; insurance $3000. Russia has added 10,000,000 to its pop ulation in a decade. CATARRH GROWING LESS. Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures Without Stomach Dosing. Inquiry at the local drug stores shows that the sale of remedies for catarrh has decreased very much in the last year. Some medicines which were formerly bought a gross at a time are now purchased in half dozen lots, and are rarely called for. There is one notable exception to this decrease in sale, and that is Hyomei. This remedy is, in fact, re sponsible for the decrease In sale of catarrh medicines, as it has made so many cures of catarrhal troubles that naturally there is much less demand for remedies for that disease. People who have been trying differ- 1 ent medicines for catarrh during many years were induced to begin the use of Hyomei by Bowditch, Webster Co., of Augusta and Geo. W. I>orr of Waterville, Me., guarantee, that the remedy would cost nothing unless cured. Much to their surprise, they found that Hyomei did what it claimed (if it did not Bowditch, Webster Co., of Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville. Me., could not sell it under this guarantee) and they soon become ardent advocates of the use of Hyomei. There is no disagreeable stomach dosing with Hyomei; it is used by be ing breathed through a neat pocket inhaler. The complete outfit costs but one dollar, extra bottles, if needed, fifty cents. With every Hyomei outfit Bowditch. Webster Co., of Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville, Me., give their personal guarantee that the money will be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at all in buying this reliable remedy. Waterville Notes. George W. Dorr, the enterprising druggist, has just received a large stock of Hyomei. the greatest cure for catarrh. With every outfit he gives a signed guarantee to refund the money if Hyomei does not benefit. This is the famous inhalation treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing and is the only guaranteed cure for that disease. Cures Woman’s Weaknesses. We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfo one of the Editorial Staff of The Eclectic Medical Review says of Unicorn root (Helonias DUnca) which is one of the chief ingredients of the •Fa vorite Prescription "A remedy which Invariably acts as a uter ine lnvlgorator makes for normal ac tivity of the entire reproductive system.” He continues "in iielonias we have a medica ment which more fully answers the above purpose than an// other drug u ith which t am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfc further says: "The following are among the leading Indications for iielonias (Unicorn root), l’ain or aching In the back, with leucorrhcea atonic (weak) conditioflfe of the reproductive organs of Women, mentjl depression and ir ritability. ^soclated witUchronic diseases of the reproddetive organs of women; constant sensation Jt heat In the region of the kid neys; meiybrrhagia (flooding), due to a weak ened conjfition of/the reproductive system; amenoyfig’yisurpressed or absent monthly periodyi.yaWsing from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and Aa;cmlc (thin blood habit; dragging sensfmons in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” If more or less of the above symptoms g^!Ynt»-»,»ruiV«li ua Detter than take lir. Fierce s Favorite FrescrimunCono Jf~the loading ingredi ents of H indi is Unicorn root, or Iielonias, aud the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,” •Prof. Finley Eili'ngvvood, M. 1).. of Ren nett Medical College. Chicago, says: "It is an important remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions and general enfeeblement. it is useful.” Prof. John M. Seudder, M. D.. late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root: "In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in u»e almut which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” Prof. R. Bartholow, M. D.. of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal: "Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor rhuea (painful menstruation).” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription faith fully represents all the above named in gredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended. KAISER PLEASED It Government Victory In the Elections, Remarkable Demonstration at Berlin In His Honor. Nearly 50,000 Good and True Join in the Tribute. _ Berlin, Fob. C.—Rmpcror William to day is described as being in great humor over Ihe result of the reballoting in the Reichstag elections which oc curred yesterday and which emphasiz ed the government victory of Jan. 25. His Majesty had novel witnessed such spontaneous enthusiasm for himself as he did last night when a procession I was formed, 40,000 or .'0,000 strong, and marched through the streets to tile palace, singing ‘The Watch on the Rhine,” and other patriotic songs, nor had he felt such unity of purpose between himself and the people. The Emperor was returning to the palace, shortly before midnight, after hearing a lecture on turbine engines when he first met the enormous crowds head ing toward the palace. Tlie people followed the Emperor’s automobile lo the palace, where thous ands were massed in the Lustgarten, fronting the castle. In perfect order the people waited for tile Emperor to address them from the balcony, which he did, as cabled last night, his re marks being received with prolonged J applause. The government now couats upon 1ST j to ”1(1 members of the Reichstag to j support the colonial policy upon which the House was dissolved. The present position of the parties is as follow: Center. 105: Conservative. SO: Agrar ian and Anti-Semitic Group, -9: Na tional Liberals, 55: Radical Groups, 46; Socialists. 4:1; Foies, 20; Alsace Lorrai tiers. 7: Independents. 10: Guelph party. 12: Danish party. 1. Tlie defeat of the Socialists in the kingdom of Saxony, where they lost 13 seats, caused astonishment. Among the new members of the Reichstag is Lieut. Gen. Von Lieber. Conservative president of the Imperial League against the Socialists, which lias nearly 100,000 members. Next to the Naval League, the Imperial League is the most powerful organization in Germany. The new turbine steamer Camden, built for the Eastern Steamship Co., will ho launched at 1.45, Feh. 14. by President 'Hyde of the Rath Iron Works. Miss Martha Cobb, daughter of Gov. William T. Cobb, will christen the steamer. Gov Cobb is expected to lie among the launching party. The Very Best _ Money back if not perfectly satisfac tory.

Representative Stuart of Belgrade presented a petition praying that Ed gra |e Stream from the bridge below the depot to St.o.v Fond to lisiting. of the -sage on pres> ntatIV Joy of Eden pr1. Heath of Augusta appeared for th bill. In opening he said that no nthe liih that has ever come before a Lesns lature of the State has meant so mue lo the central part of Maine and es pecially to Augusta. Lewiston an Waterville. He then went on and re viewed the railway conditions and th operations of the syndicate represente by John R. Graham, in Bangor, point iiig out the vast improvements whic have been made in the equipment an resulting improvement in service. H declared that similar improvement have been started on the recently ar Hired L fear that the com pany may become an octopus and grab everything in sight. Mr. Heath ex plained that the bill grants no building rights whatever that arc not air.ady held by the roads to be merged anti that any additional building l ights will have to be obtained through the usual channels. He then took up the bill sec tion by section. The clause giving the company tlio right to acquire connecting and contin uing lines had impressed some as being rather broad and this idea was further strengthened by a sensational article whicli appeared in a weekly publication of the State, so Mr. Heath took occa sion to call by name the many railway charters in the State which have exact ly the same provisions for acquiring the rights and franchises of continuing and connecting lines, lie stated that it was the belief of those best versed in street railway affairs that the gradual con solidation of those lines with each oili er was the only way in which to bring order mil of chaos and bring about the best service toThe people. By just sueli a system of consolidation it is hoped to make the building of a road from several towns wist of Augusta to that city and the building of a road to Rockland, possible. T.iey will certain ly never be built, except as a part of a system. The speaker reiterated again and again that the bill granted no building rights and that in the matter of selling j electricity the syndicate would step cm t:o man’s toe*, as the act especially provides for proper restrictions. j lb n. F. Libby of Portland entered the hearing at this point and read a sensational newspaper article clipped from a weekly publication, whose head quarters are in the Leering district. Portland, Me. The- article stated that ti;.. syndicate was endeavoring to get ciiidro! of all th° street railways in Maine and connect them with I lie lines ‘of the states bordering it on the west. Ulat t he Philadelphia capitalists who wore backing Mr. Graham were simply living to got complete control and then 'll out to a foreign corporation, and licit if the stockholders of the Portland companies did not voluntarily sell their franchises, then they were to be frozen out. With this article as a working basis and fearful lest the bill would create a power that would swallow up the Portland Railroad Co.. Attorney Libby demanded lltat a clause be in .-ert' d in the bill which would prohibit the syndicate from ever owning tne Portland companies or entering that territory. Attorney Hj-ath in reply character ized tin; article which had caused the trouble its a piece of yellow journalism, too absurd to be seriously considered by the committee, and then denied that there was truth in any portion of the article. Amos F. Gerald of Fairfield, who is at present building a railway between Augusta iind Waterviile on the west side of the Kennt bee, corroborated the statement of Mr. Heath that the char ters nf many other Maine railways con tained clauses permitting consolidation with other roads. He stated that he knew of no powers in the bill that had not been previously granted several other companies, except that which gives the power to sell ilc ti'kity for lighting purposes. This he declared to lie a new departure, but an unusually v, ise one in many ways, for he already knew of several 1 iwns which would gladly buy electricity for the purpose from the road, if they could do so. John R. Graham of Bangor, who is the -Ivcrking head of ihe syndicate in tills State, was called upon l>y Mr. Heath to give his ideas of the consol idation of the several roads. Mr. Gra ham said that he had found that the principle of consolidation had been very successful, as in Bangor for in stance where several small corpora tions were working separately, and none of them paying dividends. By putting them under one head and work ing tin1 problem out as a unit, the proji ets had not only become paying investments, but the prices of electric ligiits had been reduced and the dis taaee which one can ride oil a single fare had been greatly increased. Mr. Graham accounted for this* by pointing out that in tile summer when the ear travel was heaviest, there was little ca'l for lights, but in winter when the electric car travel is light, the demand for illumination is great, thus one bal ances the other He went on to say in regard to the money that has been and is being spent op improvements upon the roads al ready acquired by the syndicate, that Sl.'m.COO had already been spent on ihe Lewiston. Brunswick Bath and that another i'lO.OAn worth of improvements 1 had been contracted for. “We will have system in the central part of Maine that cannot be beaten in the United States, if this act becomes law,’' concluded Mr. Graham. t The following men who are prominent m railroad and railway circles were present: Gov. J. F. Hill. G. L. Mu* comber. T. J. Lynch. A. F. Gerald o! Fairfield, K. C. Ryder of Bangor. J. It rah am of Bangor. G. D. Bisbee oi j Kumford Falls. C. F. Libby of Portlanc and H. R.

Turner of Auburn was first and foremost in taking this view of the sit uation. though h.- did not represent any board of trade or other organization. AY. T. Haines of Waterville. who spoke for the State Board of Trade, was for the bill unqualifiedly. bating it as liis opinion that every dolliir spent in the outlying districts of a cite.’ for good roads v.es net lost by the city, but came back to them with interest. There was such a spirited discussion of the bill that it is not unlikely that majority and minority reports will be made in the House and Senate and the bill will be the subject of sharp debate in these two brandies. When the meeting was called to order by Chairman Parkhurst. Hon. E. S. Clark of Eden requested that the hearing be postponed, stating that he represented the selectmen of Tiler. Mayor Pierce of Bangor and Major Clifford of Portland, who desired to bo heard but could not be present. There were so many other present who washed to lie heard and w re prepared, that the committee de clined to postpone the hearing. Commissioner Paul D. Sargent -was the first to be called. He explained that this bill which he had drawn was not original wi'h him. but was the result of carsftil study ".f the law’s of other states and the way that they had operated. Fur lin' he s i’ll that tile bill was designed to improve and make permanent the main arteries of t'lv’l through tin- State, the choice of which roads in the several counties are to he. improved, being left to tlie discretion of the county commis sioners. The hill makes it incumbent upon towns to set aside a certain portion of their regular appropriation for high way improvement, for permanent roads. To tins (is to lie added State aid at the rate of $1 per $1000 of valuation in some of the poorer towns to $a.25 per $1000 of valuation in some of the wealthier cit ies. The. fund f r un which the State aid is derived is raised by means of a tax of one mill for every SI of valuation. The fifth section of the bill makes it incum b. r.t upon the t >wn to receive the aid. to increase its regular highway appro priation by ore-half the amount of tie sum set aside for permanent roads under the act. The hill provides also for the employment of special engineers to over s u the work done under the provisions of lie- ay at least one member of the commission. Repre sentative Skillings of Falmouth.

8TATE CAPITAL QUESTION. (Continued from Page One.) ter hotel and railroad accommodations ■which is a point to be considered. There ts a great deal to be said on both sides, but on the whole I favor smaller city for capital.” C. E. Estabrook, Milwaukee, former attorney general, now member of As sembly says: "I favor smaller city for the reason that better attention can be given sessions work in legislature. There are less distractions in the small er place and members can concentrate their minds on legislative business and accomplish more with less hindrance.” State Treasurer A. H. Dahl, said: “1 have always opposed removal of capi tal to larger city and believe it would be a misfortune to the state had re moval idea prevailed.” COLUMBIA SUITS ANSEL Small Cities Better For Capitals Than Larger Ones. Columbia, S. C.. Feb. 6.—(Special).— Charlestown, the largest city In South Carolina, was formerly the capital of the state. The location of the city on the coast and therefore not easily acces Bible from towns in the upper portion of the state, made it an unfavorable place for the capital and so accordingly it was decided to change It to a more central and convenient place. A commission decided to remove the capital to a site, then known a3 Taylor Plantation. This was an open tract of land under cultivation. A town was laid off and from that small village sprung the present city of Columbia. The change was made simply for geographical rea sons and the relation of the smaller to the larger town was not a factor in bringing about the change.” "I think the greatest advantage to the people of the state of the location of the capital city,” said Governor Ansel to night, “is the geographical posi tion. The prime factor was to locate the capital os near the geographical center as pos sible, accessibility ami convenience being considered. Between the largest city of t^ie state and a smaller one. soy of 2r,.000 people. 1 should think it much better to have the location in the smaller city on account ot the distractions the me tropolitan city affords. But in my mind the most important question to be con sidered 4s to select the site most easily reached front all sections of the state.” A prominent state official says that the advantages of the state and public in locating the capital away from the larg est city of the state are many. “In locating the capital In the metro politan town you put the legislative and executive branches of the government directly in contact with the corporate wealth of the commonwealth. And cor porate greed In this country is evident. Our state officials should be honest, and most of them are. hut the ever present temptations placed around them and be fore them are dangerous obstacles to put In the pathway of our government. Thu ■mailer city admits of simplicity, wlilli the larger city is lavish in itself ant tends to engraft its ideas on the mind' of our lawmakers—and simplicity Is wh t' we need fit our executive and legislattvi ffaln today.” CENTRAL LOCATION BEST An Easily Accessible Capital Desired By Ohio. Columbus. O.. Feb. G.—(Special). The state of Ohio is particularly fortu nate in having its capital at Columbia In the centre of the state. Ohio is :i little over two humlred miles square and Columbus is situated just a litt'i south and nest of the centre of tie slate. Columbus was selected as the capital of the Buckeye State, however before the question of big cities cam up. it being chosen because of its cen tral location. Seemingly, the seUethu: has boon a wise one and no propositi* i to remove the capital from Columbia has been considered. Ohio lias twi cities larger than Columbus. Clevelatu in the northeast corner and Cincinnat in the southwest. Governor A. L. Harris, in discussing tonight the benefits of having the cap ital in the central part of the state, salt that Columbus was the logical city f-n the capital, being more convenient am accessible to the people of all parts the Commonwealth. Ho said the while conditions in other states of tho whether the capi tal is in a smaller city in the centra part of th- slate or in a larger one the border. If there is anything won] going afier in the way of legisiatioi the politicians, it is held, will flock t the capital despite its location. FLORIDA FOR SMALL CAPITAL. Governor Emphasizes Accessibility But People Have Preferred Inaccesci bility to Corporate Control. Tallahassee. Feb. 6.—(Special).—Gov ernor Bnjward of Florida is n' convinced that it is better to have capi tal located at Tallahassee than a Jacksonville, the principal city of th state. Because of superior railroa facilities Jacksonville is more easily accessible to a majority of the peopi in the state than Tallahassee. “There is a decided advantage 11 having the capital in a large city." sail Governor Broward tonight. "I thinl the forces of corruption art' more nu merouslv present in the large citie during sessions of the Legislature urn that it is easier for members to b placet! under such influences hut on th other ihand it seems impossible to ge away from such influences and in th stnail city the representatives of th -wealthy corporations are present whereas the counteracting influence may not. by reason of inaccessibility and the cost attendant upon reachim members in the small city, be able t Classified Ads.

I cannot say that I think there are any decided advantages in having the Stale House located in the smaller city. There are advantages to be sure, but these are offset by advantages in favor of the larger cities." State Comptroller ("room Is an ardent advocate of the small city for the State House. He is positive that the temp tations to officers are less in the small cities and that there are few diversions and consequently more time can given to the state’s business.

He ts reported us slightly improving. Mrs. Arthur W. "Whitney very pleasantly entertained a number of her lady friends Wednesday afternoon at her home on State street, at a bridge party. Commander Peary will be entertained during his brief stay in Augusta by Col. K. C. Farrington. They are both former residents of Fryeburg and the families are old friends. Workmen were engaged yesterday af ternoon in repairing the fire hydrant just north of the overhead railroad bridge on Water street, which had be come disabled by having the stem screwed off. Bowdilcli Webster are daily receiving invoices of the leading patent medicines direct from the manufacturers. They claim that direct buying insures fresh, genuine and reliable goods in patents as well as in all other medicines. Master Leo Dostie, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Rodolph Dostie of Wash ington street, who has been very ill with pneumonia, is reported to be do ing nicely. He is able to sit up a little while in bed each day, and is fast im proving. Among the births which have been recorded this week at the office of the city clerk are the following: Feb. 1, to Mr. and Mrs. Hermidas Dubreuil, a daughter; to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred St. Pierre, a son; Feb. 2, to Mr. and Mrs. Xapoleon Pare, a son. The snow plows wore working out on the Winthrop and Togus branches of the Augusta, Winthrop Gardiner Railway yesterday morning, and both lines were opened so that the* cars were running by noon. It was a hard storm for the road, and there were some big drifts along the two lines mentioned above. Manager Cuddy of the Augusta Opera house announces among the coming attractions the engagement of the Lome Ehvyn Stock Co., which will be here all next week, “East Lynne," which comes Saturday, March 2. and “As Ye Soty,” the date of which is Friday, March 15. Whitman A. Adams are to have a one day silk sale Saturday, Feb. 9, which will give the ladies of Augusta and vi cinity the greatest opportunity they ever had in this line. Usually their silk sale lasts several days, but this year it will be confined to one day an 1 tho prices will be made lower on that account. Everything in the silk de partment will be offered at greatly re duced prices. Dean Norris of Bates, who is soon to give u recital at the Free Baptist church in this city, has but just returned from a year in Europe. While abroad Miss Nor- i ris devoted much time to the study of various national diakets. She excels es pecially in the humorous. Her German, Scotch and Irish impersonations are per fect tnd represent the humorous charac teristics of each nationality. Iler South ern dialect selections transport one to the South, with all the rich and humor ous philosophy of the old negro mammy and the plantation darky. Following are a few of tiio sales mad in Maine during the month of January by E. A. Strout Company of New York, Boston and Philadelphia: The Geo. Mc Kenney farm in Solon sold to Mr. Stead of Lawrence, Mass. W. E. Foss farm in Newport sold to Scbastieook Grange of Newport, Maine. Jos. Augustine farm in Corlnna sold to J. P. Cassidy of Iloulton, Maine. A. If. Bradley farm in N*'w Vineyard sold to Jos. Mason of i Danielson, Conn. Lizena Light farm in Edgecomh sold to F. A. Westcott of Stonington, Me. Jno. B. Stlial iarm ill Waldoboro sold to Paul I!. Griffin of Biringham, Ala. Chas. C. Edwards farm in Gloucester sold to Milliard S. Ball of Shelbournc, Vt. The road commissioners of the towns adjacent to Augusta \v* re at work yesterday morning digging roadways through the drifts which had been piled ui) by Tuesday’s storm. No such drifts had been created for the winter,! and one man who came in from tin direction of Togus said that in several places along the line the drifts wore higher than the horse's head. And the drifts on the west side of the river wore said to be even worse than that on some of the cross roads. The rural mail carriers started out again yester day morning from the Augusta post office and although they found the snow pretty deep in places they got j through and succeeded in making their trips. Two of Augusta's well-known and prominent citizens were out yesterday I for the tirst time after a short period of illness which had been diagnosed as the grip. That was not very strange i’i itself, but a peculiar feature in connec tion with their temporary indisposition was the fact that they had been taken ill at the same time and that their ill ness was due to the same cause. This aroused some curiosity on the part of some of their friends, and a little judi clous inquiry elicited the information that their trouble had been induced by a little diversion in the way of sawing wood. The scene of the wood sawing act was on the shore of Cobbosseecon tce, where there was a pile of about seven cords, and as both, men v ere 1 i.rn on a farm they thought as they gazed on that woodpile v. hut fun it would be to saw some of it. and thus f 'r a short time live over their boy hood days in the old woodshed. They i did not use the old woodsaw for the work, but got a man with a circular saw and gasoline engine combination, and girding up their loins they started in feeding wood to the saw. It was fun at first, but the saw was a good one and chewed up the wood in a wa> that kept them much busier than they l-.a.l expected, but they stayed with it and finally the seven cords was fin ished. It Is nut on record that either man sat up very late that night, but the night's rest that time brought no relief, for the next morping both were so lame an.l sore that the day's dutb s had no charm for them, and they could hardly move. And so the word went mil that they had the grip Augusta’s Accommodations. Editor Kennebec Journal:— It seems to me that the proposition o the citizens of Augusta to buiid a new commodious, and thoroughly modert hotel disposes of about tiie only reasor I that the Portland capitol movers havi had to offer for committing the State tt an extravagant and unnecessary pjlicj of new capitol construction. Certain l.i no nan in Maine who reads the name: I of the stockholders of the new August? Hotel Company will question their luigi standing or their financial ability to bufic and equip a dozen first-class hotels There has been. It seems to me, a dispo sition, in emphasizing hotel needs, tc overlook certain very obvious advantages possessed by the City of Augusta. In deed the snei ring, and insulting attitud assumed towards the city of Augusta by the Portland boomers at the recent ad journed hearing before the committee on Public Buildings has been the subject «,i I much adverse criticism throughout tie I State. It was in marked and painful contrast to the very handsome tribute paid the Forest City by' Mr. Cornish who spoke for Augusta. A majority of the members of the Maine Legislaturq would never under any circumstances pass the days of a session ia a hotel. They are men who very much prefer the quiet of a private house. This would always be true' of a majority of the members of a legislatin' and oftentimes of two-thirds of them. I In accommedalions of this character, ni city in Maine surpasses Augusta. This fact was strongly demonstrated tl: latter part of December when, after having comfortably housed the fifteen hundred people who attended the State Grange held in the capital city at that time, tiie Augusta Board of Trade still had a hundred first-class rooms on its available list. The residential section of Augusta is very compact and the larger number of tie se available rooms are within easy across of the state House. I notice that the Journal has constantly advertised such rooms, all of them wi,th in fen minutes' walk of the Capitol. Most of these rooms were heated by steam or hot water, and practically ail of their, have both bathroom and tele phone facilities. After tiie Legislature had been in session several weeks, I counted over thirty such rooms adver tised in a single issue of the Journal. This explains, doubtless, why, in attack ing Augusta accommodations, tiie Port land boomers have seen lit to, confine themselves wholly to the hotel question. I never boarded at a hotel during my stay at the capital. I found most com fortable quarters on a private house, not five minutes’ walk from the State house, and at a reasonable price. I shall al ways remember the people of Augusta witli pleasure, for I found them at all times most cordial and hospitable. My experience, I doubt not, was simply that of thousands of other ir.cn who, have served their communities in the Legisla ture at Augusta during the eighty years that city lias been tiie seat of govern ment. They have no kick to make, and they wiil tell you frankly that the days passed at Augusta in the service of the State were among the happiest of tin ir lives. An Old Member. “Old things are passed away. All things arc become new." This is true of the Equitable Life Assurance society and in its new and stronger f >rm the society is making a great bid for more business than ever in Maine. It offers alluring at tractions in its new policies and any mau considering life insurance will make n-> mistake in looking them over. Its new standard policy, as prescribed by the New York law has .been framed to in sure to each policyholder the fullest pro tection, and every appropriate benefit. Dividends paid annually may be drawn 'in cash, or left with the society to ac cumulate at per cent, interest. Liberal 1 1111 and surrender values are granted. Everybody knows the financial strength of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the Fnited States: its promptness and liberal dealing with tiie public; its many reforms. The conservatism and economy with which its affairs are administered guarantee to its policyholders insurance that insures—protection that protects. Maine Central trains Wednesday were generally on time or nearly so with the exception of the afternoon express, A'o. 11, which goes east at 2.22.

1 INVITE EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD HERE Every Person of Augusta to Eat With Me Tomorrow at My Expense. This is an invitation that you simply cannot afford to ignore. I'll tell you why. I’m going to feed you on a food that helps digest all other foods, a food that “stops the sharp pangs of dys pepsia in two minutes by the watch,” bo swears Mr. Henry Gray, and many others. A food that made Assistant Post master Estes “feel like a 2-year-old In a clover pasture.” A food that makes brains in five hours and blood in four. A highly nutritious, stomach food, made from the pineapple, and the pawpaw-melon, figs, oranges, celery, and a few other good things for the nerves, stomach and bowels. Tou may be starving your blood and brain in the midst of jjlenty. It isn't how much you eat that counts, but it’s how you digest the food you eat. Tou can't get steam out of water without fire; you can’t get brain power, nerve force and blood cor puscles out of food without digestion. Thousands lack sufficient vital force and don’t know why. They think they need a tonic, a va cation or a change of scenery. But they don’t. It's old indigestion tliat's the matter with them, and six days' use of my Biscuit will prove it. They don't get the strength out of their food. It’s like running corn through a mill with the rollers too wide apart; the corn goes through, but the mill doesn't grind. Don’t think you must have a pain to have indigestion. Lack of flesh, too much fat, pimples, blotches, sallow complexion, lack of nerve force, impoverished blood, in somnia. headaches, weak brain power, may ull be due to a faulty digestive process cither in the stomach or bowels. Eat my Biscuit along with your other food for a week and llnd out how your digestive organs are working. If the Biscuit helps you greatly, gives you more force, strength and brain power, you may set it down that your stomach, liver and bowels were doing their duty. 1 Only yesterday your head may have felt dull and heavy; you had dhe "blues”; were cross, nervous or irri table; everything seemed to go wrong, and you couldn't tell why. It’s ten to one it was old dyspepsia slyly getting in his work, not enough to cause you pain, but just enough to dull your brain, rob you of your vital ity, upset your liver and deplete your nerve force. Maybe you don't think so, but just try one package of my Biscuit and see if they don’t change ’’blues'’ to a bright, cheery red; make the old world laugh in a merry glee and put vigor and vim in your life again. National Bank President Kinner of Olean, N. Y„ had stomach trouble so bad that he had to live on malted milk, arid even that caused him pain —he ate three biscuits and went to eating hi3 meals—sounds like a mir acle. .Well, I have Mr. Kinner’s own letter to that effect. W. G. Roach of Hornellsville, N'. Y., says he hadn’t been able to work for several years—had dyspepsia so bad— after eating my Biscuit two weeks he got a position and went to work, sa>» he can eat anything now and feels "tiptop.” This is only two of hun dreds. Mr. Dyspeptic, have you ever heard of the wonderful Biscuit that talks, that really tells you itself what it can do—that’s Neal's. Five minutes after you eat it the Biscuit begins to un fold its virtues, and it will by actual demonstration prove to you more in regard to its merits in ten minutes than I could probably make you be lieve if I wrote and read you ten books as large as the dictionary. "It seems like a dream,” swears Mr. Charles F. Bowman. "Gave me relief in three minutes,” says Mrs. W. H. Crettenden. "Stopped my pain in two minutes,” sweats Mr. Joseph Fenti man. You may know some of these peo ple, or know somebody who knows them. “I’ll send you their pictures and full addresses if you want them, so that you can find out all about my Biscuit and the wonders it has wrought. Probably you are now thinking whether all this can be true—stop it! I will send you absolutely free one large 25c. package of my Dyspepsia Biscuit and wonderful Fig Chocolates, at once, and let them prove what 1 say, provided you will send me 4 cents to pay actual cost of postage. Cut out and use coupon below. COME EAT WITH ME AT MY EXPENSE This coupon entitles you to one larg Biscuit and Fig Chocolates*,* ubsolutel them), if you will send 1 cents to pa disc* rates.

Dept. BOTH AIK SAFE. Sinus. Mystic and Nanna Rescued From Peril. On Vessel Has Broken Shaft, Other Hole In Bottom. Two Ships Arrive Wednesday Morn* ing at Halifax Harbor. Halifax. N. S.. Fob. 6.—The stunner Mystic, which was in distress off Ketch harbor lust night, arrived safely in this port today. The steaber Nanna. which had been in tow of the Mystic, was towed into the harbor by tugs. The Nanna has a broken shaft, and the Mys'ie. which struck on a shoal hut quickly floated, has a hole in her i bottom. The crews of both vessels are safe, but it is thought some of the j men on the Nanna were nurt by the parting of tow lines and the breaking of butts. The steamers wore in a very dangerous pi si'.lon all last night, oil" the rocky coast of Ketch harbor. Tho Nanna is a Norwegian steamer, nnd was bound ftovn Halifax to New York with a cargo of lum>H-r. The Mys tic is a coal steamer owned by the Bow-rings of New York, and is -bound from Boston for Koulsburg. C. B. Capt. Abbott of the Mystic reported that at 8.30 A. M.. on Monday last, he sighted the Nanna 20 miles southwest of Seal Islands. The Nanna was in distress, with her tail shaft gone. A heavy sea was running, but the Mystic managed to get close enough to the disabled vessel to send a lipe aboard. At 1 r. M. the Mystic headed for Hali fax with the Nanna in tow. Off Cape Sable the tow line parted. After con siderable dilHculty the Mystic picked the Nanna up again and resumed her course. Early yesterday morning, w ith high winds and heavy seas prevailing, the steamers had reached a point off Chebucto Head when the line parted again. While the Mystic was trying to make fast once more to the Nanna both steamers were driven by the gale in among the shoals. The line finally was made fast, but when it was strain ed it was found that the two steamers ■were in between the breakers. It was snowine hard and the northeast gale was terrific. Fearing that they could not work themselves off without strik ing on the rocks, both steamers let go their anchors. When day broke the members of th* crow could make out. through the thiol snow, the outlines of tne shore, onl; half a mile distant. People living nea the shore observed the two vessels, bu the waves overe so high that it was bn possible to send a boat either to o from the steamers. They were beinj pounded severely by the great seas, an. in the midst of treacherous shoals an. close to a rocky coast, the steamer were in gicat peril. All day long an. all last night the steamers retnaine. there tugging at their anchors. 1 heavier gust than usual made the Mvs tic drag her anchors a short distance and she struck on a shoal. A hoi was driven through her bottom, for ward, and the water Hooded her fore peak. She quickly worked off th shoal, however. Early today she cas off the tow line, and making her wa out of her dangerous position wit great difficulty, ran for this port, at riving hero a short time afterward. Meanwhile word had been receive here that the two vessels were in dis tress, and tugs and the governmen steamer Aberdeen had started for th scene. The weather had moderate somewhat, and early this morning th tugs were able to pass lines aboar the Xanna. They started for Halifax hut twice in the way hero the tow line parted in the rough seas. It is fear some members of the Xanna’s ore' ■were injuied when the lines parte. The Mystic will go into dry dock her for examination and repairs. Th Xanna is in command of Capt. Xaor. The Nam:a arrived here this afternoo: Capt. Naero stated that the steamer tail shaft was broker, on last Thursda when the steamer was 13 miles west I south of Seal island, probably as a r. suit of striking a submerged wreck. C Sunday a gale was encountered and tl deckload of ino.ono feet of lumber wf washed cverboard. On Monday a lnr? freight steamer headed for Boston pas ed tho Nanna hut took no notice of si) rais which were sent up. A few houi later the Mystic came up and took tl disabled Norwegian steamer in tow. It was announced by a Paris new agency Wednesday that the cabinet hr completed tho new revenue measure ar that it had been decided not to impo: a tax on rentes. Our FAMILY.

Armament to Include About Fitly 6uns of All Sizes. House Rejects 14-Foot Channel Scheme For Mississippi. Washington, Feb. 6.—The Indian ap propriation bill was again the sole top ic of discussion by the Senate today, and but little progress was made. The day was spent in a discussion of the proposition to repeal the restrictions on the alienation of surplus Indian lands in the Indian Territory. Xo conclusion was reached on this matter when tlio Senate adjourned for the day. Senator Clay presented a resolution today directing the secretary of war to send to the Senate a statement of the amount of money expended by the t'nited States in the Philippines from July 1, 1902 to date for the equipment, supplies and military operations and to state how long it was necessary to maintain an army in the islands. The resolution went over until tomorrow. Senator Hale presented to the Sen ate today the detail, d plans for the big battleship which it is proposed shall in built as the equal of any fighting vessel now afloat or planned. The general in formation as to the dimensions of the proposed ship were made public sev eral months ago but very little has been known as to the strength of the battle ship. This information now will be given to the public, including all for eign powers if they desire it, in the form of a public document. The plans call lor a-battleship iilSci feet long, with beam of 85 feet, 2 5-8 inches, and draft of 119 feet, 5 inches with everything on board. Tlie armament will consist of a main battery of 10 12-inch breechloading rifles, mounted on five electrically con trolled turrets on the center line; two forward above the forecastle deck, the second firing over the first; two aft on the main deck on the same level and one amidships firing over the two af ter turrets. There are to be two sub merged torpedo tubes. The secondary battery will consist of 14 5-inch rapid firing guns, four 3 pound guns, four 1-pound semi-auto matic: two 3-inch field pieces and two machine guns of .30 calibre. The seeondard battery of 14 5-incIi guns will be located on the gun deck, forming two broadside batteries ol seven guns each; the corner guns wi! be equipped for head and stern firing respectively. Smaller guns will be lo cated in commanding positions so as tn give a large /unobstructed range o Are. IN THE HOUSE 1 l 4 I I t
