Line Blockaded and Freight Traf fic Is Delayed. Mattawamkeag, Mo., March 18.—Traf fic on the Canadian Pacific Railway was blocked today by a rear end col lision of passenger train No. 9. bound from Montreal to Halifax via St. John and due here at 6.2S A. M., with a train of empty immigrant ears which was being returned to St. John. There were no fatalities and no one was reported injured lreyond a severe shaking. Three empty coaches, a baggage car and pas senger engine were wrecked. Relief was sent from Rrov-nville Junction, but it was expected the line would not be cleared before tonignf. Passengers were transferred during the day. As the collision took place just nest of the local station the Maine Cen tral Railroad, which has its junction here, was not bothered. The passenger train left Montreal at 7.25 last night and was due at Halifax at 6.40 o'clock tonight. It connected with the transcontinental train from ancouver. The immigrant cars were i on a siding to allow No. 9 to pass. Ju»t I how tho collision occurred was not j dear by first reports, but the passengfr train ran into the rear of tlie empty eurs at a considerable speed. Three of the empty coaches were wrecked, as was the engine and bag gage car on No. 9. The wreckage caught fire from the engine and one or two coaches and the engine were burned. The engine crew escaped by jumring. As there are a score of freight trains running daily on this line, the blockade was a serious one. PORT OF TRUJILLO CAPTURED.

Boston, March 18.—With the ringing of hflls and tilt; tiring of a salute from the big guns of the battleship New Jer sey lying in the harbor, this city to day ushered in its observances of Evac uation day in commemoration of the withdrawal of the British forces from this city 1111 years ago. Two of the dis tinguished guests of the occasion, Gen. J. Franklin Bell and Capt. M. W. Wright, U. ft. A., were ea'rly arrivals in the city and were entertained at breakfast at the Hotel I,enox by Gov ernor Curtis Giuld, Jr., Mayor John F. Fitzgerald and various city and state officials and committees. The day’s exercises were centered up on the South Boston peninsula, upon which the British forces were en camped and the program there com menced with historical exercises at the South Boston High school, where an oration was delivered by Michael J. Murray, justice of the municipal court of Boston. One of the features was a parade through the peninsula district, which was reviewed by Governor Guild, May or Fitzgerald and Gen. Iiell with other guest®. Many athletic games took up the remainder of the day. The district was decorated and most of the busi ness houses were closed. For the evening more athletic games were held with fireworks, band con certs, illumination and a banquet to Gen. Bell by the South Boston Citizens’ Association. AUTOPSY ASKED FOR. Aged New York Woman Dies Under Suspicious Circumstances. New York, March IS.—Because of the unusual circumstances of the death of Mrs. Klizabeth Butz. !)0 years old. who lived on Division street and who owned property valued at $50,000, relatives to night asked the coroner's office to have an autopsy performed on her body. The woman died in Bellevue hospital late today and the physicians of that insti tution gave the cause of death as ne phritis, old age and multiple contusions about the body. f>n Friday the aged woman was found unconscious in her rooms and taken to tJouvemeur hospital. She was later transferred to Bellevue. With her at the time of her death was William A. Buts. a grandson of Brooklyn. According to the story which lie told the physicians at the hospital, the aged woman was to appear on Thursday in the supreme nnirt in order that aj guardian for her might be appointed. Tile grandson also said that Mrs. T.utz carried about $.1000 in tier clothing. This money, he said, was sewed ill her dress.

THE ABLE ARGUMENT OF HERBERT M. HEATH Before Judiciary Committee on Right of Portland to Raise Money for State House. HAS NO LEGAL OR MORAL RIGHT. A Comprehensive and Convincing Placing of Facts That Should Settle Question of Removal. The following is the full text of the argument of Hon. H. M. Heath before the judiciary committee on the right of the city of Portland to raise money for ti;e building of a new State House: Gentlemen—This enabling act author izes *ho city of Portland to issue bonds to raise money to be given to the State 1 to bo used for a new State Rouse in Portland, the balance of the cost to be j i borne by the State. j The act violates the Constitution of the State. Whether it violates the constitution al provision as to the 5 per cent, limit I is practically immaterial. The city of Portland owns gas and railroad stocks worth marly $1,200,000. It could sell 1 ?nough of these stocks to enable it to 1 reduce its gross Indebtedness to such 5 t point as to bring the proposed issue t .f bonds within the 5 per cent, limita- i :ion. There is no occasion, therefore, i :o discuss this rule. 1 The power to issue bonds rests upon 1 :he power of taxation. It is a truism to i issrrt that bonds cannot be authorized j inless taxes can be assessed for the f same purpose. 1 The city of Portland has no power 1 jnder the Constitution to raise money 0 give away for any purpose. i In Perkins vs. Milford. f.O Me. 31$. the 1 •ourt said: “The Constitution gives no t “ithorily to raise money to give away, i i f It ,di 1. all protection to property I could cease.” j In Grower Prick Co. vs. lliewcr. 62 do.. 72. the court said: “it is conceded j n argument that towns and cities can- j t lot constitutionally be authorized to: x: •tiise by taxation money to be given j v 1 waj\” j t The Legislature has no constitution- d 1 power to authorize the city of Port- ii and to assess taxes in aid of a new 1 g >tate House in Portland, or to issue d Kinds for such purpose, the balance of v he cost to bo met by the State. The imposition necessarily involves a State ax for the purpose, a part of which j oust bo apportioned upon the city of ’orHand and ultimately taxes upon ’ortland alone to the extent of the Kinds to be authorized. P.y Sec. S of Article IX of the Consti utlon: “All taxes upon real and pir onal estate, assessed hy authority of his State, shall be apportioned and as- ossed equally, according to the just alue thereof.” That the general tax upon tho Stale p ltd the particular tax upon tl ity of j; ’ortland would he upon roil anil j>cr real estate will be admitted. That both taxes would be assessed by’ n’hority of this State at-.d that such uthm itv must be constitutional nut. t e admitted. Whether both taxes would or would :l ot violate the rule that all tax-s must 1 e apportioned and assessed equally is 1 lie point in issue. That both taxes must, if apportioned 1 nd assessed equally, be so apportioned :id asses-sed equally upon the real and ersonal estate according to the just alue thereof goes only to the action f the assessors and is not involved in rx lis discussion. The requirement that all taxes must e apportioned and assessed equally is ivis'lblc. All taxes must be assessed dually. All taxes must be apportioned ti a! 'finally. Discussing this provision in Jpinijn of Justices, 97 Me., 597, the :»urt said unanimously: "The appor ionment and assessment each must be •qual throughout the whole State.” Taxes are assessed equally when the ate is equal upon ail the property. A 'tale tax must be assessed upon all the iroporty of the State at the same rate. In held in Opinion#; of Justices, 97 Me.. 97. The requirement that all taxes, if itherwi.se lawful, shall be assessed dually is not involved in this discus ion. The c: uoiai test is the requirement hat ail taxes must bo apportioned qually. To apply the rule to the facts. The State erects a State House in ’ort’anJ costing $1,250,000. The State, iy one er more tax levies, apportions 500,000 equally throughout the State nd Portland bears its proportional art. Through the pending act $750,000 s to be met by bonds ultimately paid iy taxes apportioned to and assessed v Portland. If, for the same public lurpose, property in Portland is sub L'cted to its proportionate part of tho ■tale taxes of $500,000 and again to a teal tax of $750,000, has the gross tax urden been apportioned equally? In Dyar vs. Farmington Village Cor ora'ion, 70 Me., 515, the Village Cor oration acting under a special act of he Legislature, issued $35,000 of bonds i ail of a railroad. Alter the bonds were sold and tho rnceeJs paid over to the railroad eom any, application was made for an in unction to rcstrain the levying of taxes meet the interest upon such bonds pon the sole ground that such taxes ■nuld l>e in violation of the eonstitu on;> 1 rule in question. The opinion was rawn hy Judge Walton and concurred i by Judges Appleton. Peters and Vir in. .Tulge Dickerson died before the ecision was announced. Judge Libby as disqualified. The case decides these legal princl les: 1. The word tax in its legal sense ienr.5 an assessment for a public pur SSP. 2. Aiding a railroad is a public pur 3. The town of Farmington had a jncurront right under the general atutes to levy taxes to aid the rail ed. 4. The property within the limits of :e village corporation could there to be taxed twice for the same pub purpose by two taxing powers. 5. Purii a result is an unequal ap irtionnient and therefore in violation the constitution. The legal analogies are perfect, ’htre the whole can assess a tax for given public purpose a part cannot '.“ess a tax for the same public pur w.es. The town must carry the rail ad tax. The State, in apportioning State House burden, cannot permit e property of Portland to be subject i to a tax that should be wholly borne the State of which it is a part. It all goes back to the underlying l< s forbidding the exemption of prop ty from taxation. Judgo Walton held at the converse of the rule followed, lid lie “One part ion has an addition tax placed upon It from which the (Continued on Page Two.)

CAPITAL REMOVAL (Continued from Page One.) remainder is exempt. And it is the re sult—this inequality of taxation—that renders, the proceeding unconstitution al.” A like result follows here. In tax ing Portland to meet its proposed bonds, the remainder of the State is exempt from the gross burden to that '■-extent. In his emphatic language. Judge Wal ton pointed out the consequences of an opposite construction. He brushed away the Idea that the rule rested in any way on the units of town and village cor poration. He said if competent to im pose such a tax upon the village, it ootild be put on one parcel of land. That consent of the voters was imma terial. He said: “The Constitution doeyar case, the court said. p. 551.—"The correctness of tins decision cannot be questioned. The leg islation i.i that case, and tlie action of the corporation unde it. not only per mitted but made unequal taxation in evitable." The court affirmed the rule that uttrqal taxation, however caused, was unconstitutional and void. Tile rule in Maine, tit* refore. is dear, long settled and recently affirmed bv five judges now upon tiiie lvuicli. and again affirmed by a tu.aninious court July 1. 1903 in Opinions of the Justices. 97 Me. 597. where seven of the present f court concurred. Judge Woodard not ■sAiicn being a member. Tile rules may lie stated: 1. Taxation for a State House is a general public purpose. Tax«s for general public purposes must be assessed by the State upon all *Uie taxable property of the State. 3. Xo smaller part of the State can be permitted or compelled to tax itself for a general public purpose. 4. Where the State has the power to Impose a tax for a general public pur pose no additional local tax can be as cessed upon a community less than the £tate for the same purpose. 5. A violation of the foregoing rules, produces an unequal apportionment of taxation for a State purpose and is therefore unconstitutional and void. I’ It is immaterial what courts in other states may have said. Xo constitution in any other state has our constitution al limitation that all taxes must be apportioned equally and also be as sessed equally. Each case abroad must be studied in the light of the constitution of the particular state. For the convenience of the committee I file a mem ora ml mu giving the language of the emstitvt i of eac! state in the union. v In Ohio, the constitution simply pro

vides that taxation must be “by a uni form rule." In Wasson vs. Commis sioners. 49 Ohio street 633. 17 I*. R. A. 79ii, the court decided that a county could not be taxed to aid in building in Daniels vs. Columbus. 33 Ohio street 658; State vs. Krogbaum, 54 Ohio street 615; Hubbard vs. Fitzsimmons, 57 Ohio street 436. In Indiana the constitution reads— “The General Assembly shall provide by law for a uniform rate of assess ment and taxation and shall prescribe such regulations as shall secure a just valuation for taxation of all property.” In Jackson county vs. Shields. 133 l id. 604, it was held that a special tax on a part of a county on account of the re-location of the county seat was illegal; that the county tax must be uniform throughout tile county and the state tax throughout the state. The decision overruled all earlier cases. In Illinois, in Livingstone county vs. Werden, 64 111. 437, the court held that a county tax to aid a State reform school was void. The constitution simply provided that. “The General Assembly shall provide for levying a tax bv valuation so that every person and corporation shall pay a tax in pro portion to the value of his or her prop erty.” In Florida the constitution provides that “The Legislature shall provide for a uniform and equal rate of taxation.” In Hilton vs. Dickerson, 60 L. It. A. 339. it was held, in tin* case of a state armory that one county could not be burdened more than otlur counties. In Arkansas the oust it ution pro vides that. "All property subject to taxation shall be tax°d according to tile valuation, to be ascertained in such manner as the General Assembly shall direct, making the same equal and uni form throughout the state.” In Hutch inson vs. Ozark County La ml Co.. 57. Aik. 334. held that otic part of a coun ty could not be taxed more than the remainder of the county for a court house. The case discusses, quotes from, approves and finds its governing rule fo law in Oy.tr vs. Farmington Village Corporation—toe court there makes the same application of the Dyar ease that logically should be made in the matter now under discus sion. There are some cases that seem to hold to tne contrary, but in none of them does the constitution require equal apportionment and equal as sessment and all rest upon reasoning held to tie unsound in our .Maine cases. In Merrick vs. Inhabitants of Am herst. 13 Allen .3fii». the court sustained the power of the town of Amherst to assess a tax to aid the N'tate college. The constitution provided that "The Legislature shall impose proportional and reasonable taxes." Tin* court held that the use of tin* word “reasonable” required them to decide that a very large discretion was vested in the Legislature as to tli way in which the public burdens should be appor tioned: that the constitution did not require equality of apportion ment: that, therefore, it was com petent to put an additional burden on any town or section if it derived ar.y special benefit fiom the institution, it is plain that this case lias no applica tion to any of the questions here involv ed. The constitution permitted Inequality. :f under the facts* inequality was found to he “reasonable.” Tip- case has no force In a state lik*- ours when* the con stitution forbids inequality. In Gordon vs. Comes, 47 X. Y. 608, an net authorizing a village to raise money for the establishment of a state normal school was held valid. The constitution contained nothing whatever in regard to equality of taxation. The decision was expressly put upon the ground that such mutters were left wholly to the discretion of the Legislature. The court said: “The constitution of some of our sister states contains special provisions designed to guard against an unequitable exercise of this power and to secure equality in the distribution of public burdens but in this state sreh restraint has not been deemed necessary.” In 1‘* nn.yivama dll' court held in Kir bv vs. Shaw, in Penn. St. LV.X. that a local lax upim a town for erecting a county court house and jail was valid upnen the express ground -that at the time of th decision there was no provision in the constitution requiring equality of taxa tion and that the Legislature was the sole judge of what const1* uted equality. In Callam vs. Saginaw. r.o Midi. 7. the court held that white the Legislature could not comp-1 a city to build a county court house it could atith-uiz.. it to do .-r> if die city was willing. The constitution said: “The legislature shall provide a uniform rate ol taxation." As tlu- r con stitution contains no rule or equality of apportionment, the ease lias no force in Maine.

The reasoning rested upon the analogy of railroad aids, held to h.p unsound in the I>var ease, c.itod the Indiana eases since overrule.I and tip* Amherst College ease where the court distinctly decided that the whole matter of apportioning state burdens was left to the discretion of the Legislature.

FRED WEBBER, 185 Water Street, Gardiner, Maine. manifest that the case has no application .what* v* r to the rule of our constitution. In ilie discussion b fore the committee ».i public buildings and grounds, in the S* nato and in the press, the city of Foitland has relied wholly on tin* views ui' Cooley in his work on taxation. On page 2.X Judge Cooley said: “For a single locality to assume to tax itself, or if a state were to undertake to tax i* for the construction of a state work or the erection of a state building, no one would hesitate for a moment in say ing there was no such right, and there could he tion^ as long as taxation by the fundamental law is required to be laid bv fixed rules not subject to the caprice of legislative bodies. Tint on page 240, he said that as to the burdens of the state at large there may bo peculiar reasons why a part of the publie should bear a greater proportion of the burden. He said, further: “A pertinent illustration might he. the case of a taxation for the construction of a state capitol. It would be clear we should say that such a tax should be spread over the state at large, buit it is also apparent that the people and the prop erty at the. place wlvre 11a* structure is proposed to be constructed would receive special and probably very great benefits in consequence of the construction be yond what they would receive iti common with all otlu-rs. This fact is even recog nized in the voluntary contributions made bv people to secure such locations, but the question then arises whether flies tax benefits may not constitute a basis for special taxation. To make them such it would bo necessary that tlier** should bo two tax districts; one embracing the whole state. th*> nth t embracing only that district which was so peculiarly l*en c!it»*d ns to justify the exceptional bur et n. In such a ease the people within the minor district would contribute twic»* to the same burden, hut this, though ap parently a violation of tin* principle of taxation, is not so in fact if tin* estab lishment of tb* minor district is one w t o equality and justice in view, and each taxpayer is only required to pay what as between lilmsclf 'and the r« .sl of tin; slate is found to be his just proportion of sl burden which distributes- its benefits unequally.” n I Unr Tn.ltr.i f’.inl/.v on the Pennsylvania case, already fit- j oil in this argument whew the con- stitution contained no rule and thej cr.nrt held tilt* t.egislnture. therefore I could do as it pleased and three cases! in Indiana since overruled, lie quoted at length from the Amherst College i case saying it was a most satisfactory synopsis of his views, overlooking fly I fact the Massachusetts Court express ly derided that their constitution per mitted an unequal apportionment or. account of the us of the word "rca- sonable." Judge Cooley gives simply his own j views. His eases have no application to the peculiar rule in our Constitution. It is a novel proposition for a lawyer j to claim that the personal views of an I author can overrule a decision of the courts of ‘Maine. Judge Cooley adm'lr that the pro- j pie in the minor distrn t would conn I>— ute twi e to tlv> same liurden.

They may in some se sites. where the Constitution is silent or it Massachu setts where inequality of ape >rtmn nunt is permitted by the Constitution, or In Wisconsin where there c nothing in the Constitution requiring eqipdiiy of appoitienmer.t. but the crucial ques tion here is. v. i41 special benefits per mit a constitutional tax in ala die where the Constitution expressly commands equality of apportionment well as equality of assessment. We hav e nothing whatever to do with principles of taxation. The ques ion here is one of constitutional ruies Judge Cooley admits that his doc trine is apparently a violation of the prin ciples of taxation. Judge Cooley was discussing nothing but a theory and in no way undertaking to construe the Constitution of a step* expressly forbid ding un quell stpport i-.r.r-crt ui -.’er nil n errslau.*rs. fn T'yar v«. Knirning" -i postilion it was expressly i dirge Cor- j derided that: special benefits wore never the founda tion for taxes, that special benefits \vi re tlie subject matter of assessments, not taxes, to be grounded upon and measured by the extent of the particu lar benefit to each party assessed, that all taxes wire to be imposed according to tlie just value of the property taxed by an equal apportionment and an equal assessment. The opinion express ly holds that where tlie tax is to be as sessed upon the basis of valuation, sug gestions as to special benefits can never authorize an unequal apportionment. Counsel In the Dyar case argued that the railroad was a peculiar benefit to the people in the Farmington Village Corporation and therefore sustainable, but with his emphatic logic Judge Wal ton overruled the claim upon the ground that the Constitution of Maine commands absolute equality in the ap portionment of public burdens. Judge Cooley's theories on the general princi ples of taxation are nveil enough in states where the Legislature is not curbed by constitutional rules or where inequality is expressly permitted as in -Massachusetts. in i(”'n ii i.iui, o*t nit: court analyzed the Maine rule that spe cial benefits can never support taxes, as such. The ruling principle of the ease is that all public, burdens are to be met by taxes to be equally appor tioned and equally assessed. That spe cial benefits are to be paid for by the individuals benefited. The case emphat ically supports the rule of the D/ur ease that nothing can justify an un equal apportionment of public burdens, all of which must be met by taxes. It has been argued that to authorize Portland to use the power of taxation to aid in building a State House is no more an unequal apportionment of a public burden tihan to authorize a city or town to aid a railroad that may ben efit many other cities and towns. That power was first sustained in Augusta Hank vs. Augusta, tit Me. f>i7. It is a matter of common knowledge among lawyers that the power was reluctantly sustained upon the ground that rail roads are no more than improved high ways where the burden Is municipal. It is equally well known that were it a !rush question to lie decided by modern courts t he power would he denied. The point raised, however, was effectually disposd of in the I)yar ease. There counsel lor the Village Corporation made the same point. The court, after remarking that the constitutionality of aiding railroads had always met with vigorous opposition and saying that, right or wrong, the old decisions in Maine could not now he overruled, dis tinctly declined to use the analogy, say ing "The boot that one step of doubt ful propriety has !>eon taken is never a good reason for taking another in tiie same hireition: lint, rather, on the •out rare. it should induce us to pause and revert to fixed principles." That Judge Cooley is strangely incon sistent 'Wiih himself and that his per sonal views, it |p-> had been called on to construe our the people in the village by having the railroad in its midst great er in degree than would he enjoyed by the town as a whole, there was in fact no inequality of apportionment. The* court overruled this contention upon two grounds. First, the fact that the large** community had the power to tax for the same purpose necessarily ox clttned all such power in the smaller: and. second, that special benefits nev er authorized an unequal apportion ment of taxes levied for public pur poses. Here. Portland argues that spe cial benefits accruing from a State House in that city justify an unequal apportionment of the burden of ob taining a. new State House. The rule in the Dyar case is a perfect parallel. 6. In the Dyar ease the court held that if the village tax was sustainable, it would he competent to authorize the (Continued on Page Seven.)

They asked for the team owned by their boss and were refused. They offered to hire the team but that offer was also refused so the young men decided to borrow the team. They borrowed it and went to Bowdoinham, from which place they sent the team back to its owner unharmed. They admitted that they were wrong in tak ing the team, but that it was only a joke. It was necessary to hold the young men over until this morning, when there will be a hearing. Maria (Collins) Libby. Mrs. Maria Libby entered into the rest of Paradise Saturday morning. March 16.

GARDINER. INAUGURATION. Mayor Will C. Atkins Takes Reins of Government. Harmonious Meeting Monday of the City Fathers. The Various Minor Municipal Of ficers Are Elected. The city government for the ensuing year convened at the City hall yester day morning and organized for the business of the coming year and elect ed the minor municipal officers. The municipal officers were sworn in by Judge I.arrabee and Mayor Atlcina introduced by retiring Mayor Knights. The only contest was in the office of tax-collector where Sumner Soule was a candidate against the present holder of the office. Freeman Y. Barker. Mr. Soule received 14 votes to Mr. Barker’s 10 and was elected. u. MAYOR W. P. ATKINS. Mayor Atkins was sworn in by Judge i i ",>t.i*n delivered a very interest in t'li ss which v is loudly appiaud •‘1 at the finish. The address was as follows: Gentlemen ft the City Council:— Once ii year the stockholders of everj corporation set together, either in per son nr l'y proxy, and elect certain in dividuals to carry oil the business o: tiio concern ff>r the ensuing year. Ii private corporations, such persons an usually designated as directors, but it public or municipal corporations, tie title is different, but the duties an precist ly the same. You and I liavf interest and value in keeping the organizations in good form and would •otter acquaint the members with their duties and each other. 1 think he people too. would like to see those men who have fought the tires so suc cessfully in past years, out in uniform me day of each year. FIRE PROTECTION AT FOETH GARDINER. Several residents and heavy tax payers in ward six, have spoken to me •egarding a better system of obtaining water for tire protection, and the rep resentatives from that section of the city, should investigate the matter and report, whether or not some feasible nethod of storing water or distribut ing it through pipes can be devised This is the largest ward in the city and its interests deserve the fullest pro tection. INSURANCE. I am a firm believer in insurance ol ill kinds, and particularly fire in ■iurar.ee. The buildings belonging tc the city and their contents, should be insured for their full replacement .•ulue if possible, and then in case ol 're destroying any of them, it will noi be a case of issuing new bonds or note: rebuild. It may be that all city pro perty is now fully covered, and mj ■suggestion is only made upon the theory that such is ne>t the case. CITY BUILDING. Nearly every city and nearly even town of any size in the State of Maim aas a city or town hall and an ade mate building for municipal purposes One of the exceptions is the city o Gardiner. Other places have hat .cue-factors, who, white living, have «cn fit to erect a monument undo the ir own supervision and for this .vorthy cause. Some places have bee? provided for in this respect by will ol some then or former resident, but we nave been passed ley in the gift game not only in this, but in nearly everj other public manifestation of interest We have no public hall for meetings oi entertainments, no place for sports o; amusements, and with the class o people employed here, and their evi lent desire to be entertained, it i: shameful that nobody will take hold o the matter and provide for the finer gency. I suppose the good citizens the place would not wish to have tin city build one, but just the same we ought to have a building for muni cipal purposes, containing a hall o: opera house. There is not a municipa building, schoolhousc, library or any tiling else in Gardiner belonging to tin city that presents more than ai ordinary appearance, and I do not be lieve that would be true'of any othe place in the State. ADVERTISING THE CITY. The Gardiner Board of Trade ha done mui h to improve and develop tin industrial resources of the city, and w as a municipality directly benefiu.i thereby, should do all in our power ti aid it and thus aid ourselves. I seems to me that the city ought t advertise itself a bit and instead o waiting for business to come, to gi for it. In line with that policy, will would it not be a good idea to secur a page or half page in one or more o the Boston dailies, for a day. and in sort in large type an ad giving some tiling of information upon the following matters: Populatu n. City Debt. As sensed Valuation. Tax-rate, Railroai md Steamboat connections. Distant from large centers. Number of Rank.1 Capital invested in the same, Hotel ac eommodations. Educational facilitie Water-works, Lighting plants, Stree cars, Churches, Raw materials. In dustries desired, Cost of Fuel for Man iifaoturing purposes. Cost of Label What Nationality Predominates, Abil ity to get help from surrounding town. Manufacturing Enterprises .now i town. General description, men in a kinds of business claim that it pays t advertise, and if it helps individual: why not municipalities? There is th suggestion and give it what weight yo tnink it is worth. CENSUS. In lino with the plan of advertising I submit that it would not he a ver xi ensive undertaking to have a muni ripal census taken this spring. 1 might be done in connection with th school census or taking the tax a! sessments or militia enumeration, believe that we are now at the hig water mark of population and indus trial development, and most of ti would like to have the figures to sho’ it. BROWN-TAIL MOTH One of the greatest menaces to veg( tat ion, is the brown tail moth abet which we have of tecent years, read s much. The Improvement Club in ii generous and usual praiseworthy wa: has undertaken to have the nest four in this vicinity, brought in and destroj ed, and as it lias small opportunity to obtain funds for its various public benefactions, it is necessary that the city should provide for the extermina tion of the pests within our own bor ders. I imagine that representatives of the society will wait upon the finance committee at the proper time with a definite conception of the probable as sistance needed. I may say that the city is obliged to do this under the law, if the individuals do not. and then a portion of the expense can be levied against the property of those neglect ing to do so, and collected as taxes are collected. FARMING DALE AND RANDOLPH. It has always seemed to me that Gardiner, Randolph and that part of Farmingdale lying along the River Road, should be one single municipal ity. The interests of one are the in terests of all, and while I have no defi nite idea of the sentiment for or against such a consolidation, I believe it would do no harm to have a bill drafted allowing such action. Of course, the citizens of each town would have the right to vote upon the matter, and a rejection of the plan by either town or city, would end the matter as far as that particular town was con concerned. It may be somewhat preju diced in the premises, but I believe the advantage would be as great for the towns as for the city, and there woul 1 be a greater inducement for mutuality of endeavor, than with the present ar rangement. WARD LINES. Under our ordinances, it is the duty of the City Council, once in ten years, and not ofn'ner than once in five years, to review and, if it be needful, to alte said wards, in su. Austin. Second street this afternoon and will be strictly private. The monthly social session and sup per of the E. Q. 15., ministers club oc curred at the Hallowell House last evening. Rev. H. E. Dunnack was the host of the occasion. DO YOU GET UP WITH A I,AME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.

Manaqer Stahl and His Men Enjoy Quiet Sunday At Little Rock. Little Bock. Ark.. March 18.—Chick Htahl and ids boys passed a quiet Sun day and rested up after a hard week's work. The weather was extremely warm, a summer’s day having slipped a cog and dropped in on Little Rock. Aside from taking a long walk about town in the morning and a street-car ride in the afternoon the men had little exercise. REGULARS SUPPORT OUTLAWS. Statement Made By Manager Lawson of the Reading Team. New York. March 18.—A! W. Lawson. manager of the Reading team of the Atlantic League, is authority for the statement that the league is backed by the Baseball Players’ Protective Asso ciation, composed of players of the Na tional and American Leagues, who wish to keep the outlaw league going so that the club owners cannot cut sal aries from season to season. No details were given by Lawson, but the intimation is that since the Tri state League went under the protecting wing of organized baseball the high salaried players have no refuge in case of a difference over salaries. With the Atlantic League taking the place of the Tristate as an independent organization, disgruntled players will have a place to jump to. Lawson asserts that several big league stars have given the Atlantic Leaguers their support since the new comers announced they would go ahead with their organization regardless of the action of the representatives of or ganized baseball. HORSE NOTES. Silas W. Babcock of Newport has sold his speedy little bay horse, Ned B. to M. Adam Seaney of that place. Ned B. has proved himself to be a speedy one on the ice track and it is expected that he will be heard from on Birch Grove track this coming summer. C. Marshall of North Anson sold his fine chestnut Stallion. "Haller." to William Hascomb os Stratton last week. This horse is a product of the large farm of Mr. Marshall and brought the neat sum of tfiC'l. This is one of many that stand in the stables on this farm where may be found some of the best blooded animals in the state. A. O. Ward of Plymouth was in Seine recently and purchased a fine span of matched black horses, full sisters, four and five years old. They were raised by a Russian in the Russian settle ment near Sebec Lake. He also pur chased of Foxcroft parties a very fancy mare which weighs 1460 pounds and which cost a good price. As the active breeding season ap proaches. owners of 1mmo,1 maps should take particular attention that they use stallions that are wholly free from inherited unsoundness. Final care should also be exercised in the select ion of the mare. Very often the mis take is made of not using this rare, and the results arc those that might be expected, very unsatisfactory. Most men breed for profit and there is no profit in breeding unsound horses or colts. There is no market for such horses, besides the breeder is losing valuable time, which should be utilized in producing something for whicn there is a demand. If the breeders will use care in the selection of both stalliion and mare for breeding purposes, the value of the horses of all kinds would lie greatly increased. It would mean money for all who are connected with the industry. There has been a wonderful improvement on the stallion side of the question is the last ten years. It is not often that one finds an unsound stallion, hut many breed ers are not us particular as they should be as to the soundness of the mares from which they are brooding. Washington.

Tom O’Rourke Will Organize Nat* ional Sporting Club. Boston, March IS.—'This week looks like a quiet one in boxing circles, with the exception of the local contest that is to take place at Chelsea between Briggs and Cote. The schedule, while very light. will, however, have some of the best men in their classes figuring in bouts. The principal bout of the week is that between Charley Neary and George Memsic for Friday night at Milwaukee. This pair have met before, when Mem sie knocked Neary out in quick order. Memsic is one of the most dangerous men in the ring today, carrying a knock-out punch with him all the time. Neary'will shift his style of light ing for this battle, and has advised his friends to have no fear for the result. Wednesday night Harry Scroggs and Joe Tipman are to do a 15-round stunt at Baltimore. Tipman has been at the game a long time, and has fought some of the best men in the business. Matty Baldwin is slated to go against Freddie Cole, a tough Westerner, at In dianapolis Wednesday night, and on Friday night he is to meet Kid Farmer at Peoria. Matty will have to show bet ter form than he did in his contest with House O'Brien if lie wants to dispose of these two boys, for they are both rated as hard customers and will give him a good fight. The bout at Chelsea is one that should prove interesting, for Cote and Briggs are an evenly matched pair. Both are rugged boxers and keep going all the time. Cote is an erratic scrap per, but when right can fight like a demon. He is credited with a win over t'nk Itussell. and gave Harry Lewis as hard a go as he ever figured in for six rounds. In fast company Cote shows up well. His two previous bouts with Briggs were of the whirlwind order. Both boys are trained to the minute. Tin? first of the three preliminaries will be between Jimmy Hanlon and (ins Lenny, a pupil of Kid Pantz. Belfield Walcott vs. John E. Butler and Billy Glover vs. Billy Conarty ot Cambridge complete the hill. NEW SPORTING CLUB. O'Rourke Will Sfart One In New York Similar To London.

Heli con Hall, near Englwood, N. J.. was de stroyed by fire early Saturday morning, admitted today that three weeks afro enough dynamite was found in the cel lar of the building to have blown the structure to fragments. This statement taken in conjunction with the finding of a stick of the ex plosive alongside the wreck of the boilers Saturday afternoon has spurred the authorities to more vigorous efforts on the theory of incendiarism. Two de tectives were assigned to the case to day, ropes were stretched around what remains of the hall, which is merely debris, and policemen were placed on guard there to prevent the removal of possible evidence. Information also came to light that three separate and distinct explosions were heard by many of the inmates of the building immediately before the lire was discovered. The police are working on the supposition that the place was set on fire and will question several persons who are known to have had disagreements with Mr. Sinclair.

March IS.—There was a marked abatement of excitement in tlv dealings in stocks today from the enor niouse stock transactions and wide price fluctuations of late week. The price movement still showed a degree of fever ishness that was the after-effect of ]a-i; week's turbulent market, but the reduo- j tior, in the volume of the day’s sales is conclusive evidence of the settling back of the market into more normal cond;-' tions. The very violence of the recovery gave warning of its unreliable nature and speculative sentiment was quite pre pared for a cheek and a reaction today. In fact the London market had a Ireadv antieipated this course before trading be gan here and sent over a materially low er range of prices than the closing' were The drop in the opening dealings here' was wider than anticipated and had the 1 effect of reviving some of the excitement I which prevailed last week. But it ap-i neared that the wilder fluctuations were largely due 'to the plunging operations of a professional element iwhieh had be-1 com*' habituated to free action liv last week's experience. Effective support ap peared in the market and the proceed ings then became much quieter and more orderly, although the renewed weakness of tlie later market made the lowest prices of the day. Tile money markets showed the effect of the passage of the March ir. settle ment and its greater ease induced to a recovery in foreign exchange. The Bank of England, however, had to advance its rate again to secure the supply of gold in the Ixmdnn market. Railroad traffic reports offered no trace of the reactionary tendency in business which the stock market slumps has increased tile watch fulness for.

PATTED ON THE BACK BY UNCLE SAM. This Organization Was Four Years Ahead of the Pure Food Law. Mr. Coughlin Was Actively Identified With the United Drug Company, Makers of Rexall Remedies, Which Has Been More Than Complying With the New Lav/, Even Before It W-s Thought of in Congress. Tin; widespread interest in (tie Pure Food Law, which went into effect Janu ary 1. has reached apparently every class in the community. The grocers, the butchers, even the candlestick makers, are compelled now by Uncle Sam to take the people into their con fidence and tell them just what they are Selims'. Uncle Sam has left very lit tle to chance. The strong arm of the Washington Government has compelled manufacturers to state plainly on their labels what adulterants have been used in preparing the package. Perhaps no other class of manufac turers has been more deeply stirred than the makers of “patent medicines.” They arc now compelled by law to state on their label* the names of dan K"roes drugs used in the preparation of their remedies. Like all laws that work for the benefit of the public, the Pure Food Law has made some manu facturers do some lively squirming; while it has brought joy to the hearts of those who were giving the people a square deal. Mr. Coug.hlin. the well known drug gist, in discussing this point with our reporter, made some comments so in teresting that they are reproduced here for the benefit of our readers. “There's a good deal of satisfaction in knowing you've done right.” Slid Mr. Coughlin, “but there’s much more in having that fact RKCOGNJZFD. “Four years ago we were one of the thousand leading druggists who met to gether to discuss the patent medicine situation. .All of us expressed dis satisfaction at having to sell remedies whose formulas were unknown to us. As servants of the public, of course, we sold whatever our trade called for. But we wanted to be able to sell our customers at least OXE line of patent medicines whose formulas we KNEW, and THEY knew—remedies whose re liability and efficiency we could back up with our own names and reputa tions. “The Rexali Remedies were the out come of that meeting, and our co operative company, the United Drug Company, was formed to manufacture them. XO CURE-ALLS IX REXALL PLAX. “Xo ‘cure-alls.’ no secret formulas— but 300 remedies, each the most suc cessful and safest cure known to the medical world for a specific human ill. and every formula known to every Rexali druggist and his customers— THAT was the Rexali plan from the beginning! “The great success of Rexali Reme dies has been no surprise to us. They are the BEST cures, and they're sold in the SQUAREST way. Every Rexali Remedy is sold with the understanding that the eus*omor. if dissatisfied, will get the purchase money back by sim ply returning the empty package or bottle—and we have always lived up to this guarantee! “The agitation against ‘secref" formu la' patent medicines during the past two years has never affected Rexali Remedies in the least, because their formulas were XEVER SECRET—and everybody knew it! UXCLE SAM ADOPTS THE REXALL Pl.AX "The United States Government has at last come around to our way of thinking, and passed a Pure Food and Drug Law. Hut we didn't need the Government to push us to tell what is in our remedies—we thought people ought to know that four years ago! ‘‘Even the Pure Food I.aw does not compel other patent medicine manu facturers to tell you as much about their preparations as we voluntarily tell you about Rexall Remedies, and always have. Only the dangerous drugs in other patent medicines are re vealed—the rest of their ingredients are still kept secret from you. You know EVERYTHING that gi>es into Rexall Remedies their COMPLETE FORMU LAS have always been open to the public. "We, like all the other Rexall drug gists have always had the formulas of the 300 Rexall Remedies in our posses sion, and have given them to thou sands of our customers. “Don’t you think we have reason to lie proud of our connection with Rexall Remedies? Don’t you think YOU have reason to put faith in them?” dl III. Cent. L. X. Manhattan (Met. St. Rv. Mexican Cent. Mo. Pac. M. K. T. do pf. N. Y. Cent. Nk. West f'nt. West Pac. Mail Penn. R. R.

Daily Kennebec Journal ESTABLISHED 1825 No notice whatever will be taken of unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsible for the preservation or return of re jected communications. Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Tuesday, March 19, 1907. Every day there is less prospect that Portland will have an opportunity to spend that $100,000 fund in trying to carry any social election in June. Yesterday was not only the birthday anniversary of ex-President Cleveland but also that of Anna Held. Anna, however, has seen fewer such occasions than Grover. Every time the Portland boomers stop bragging and bluffing long enough to realize what happened to their bill in the Senate they proceed to have a brain storm. The voice of the Portland lobby will be exceedingly loud about the corri dors of the Capitol today: but there does not appear to be the slightest danger of its being mistaken for the Voice of the people of Maine. It was characteristic of “Elijah” I)owie lhat he prepared long before his death his own funeral sermon in which be denounced as “dogs of lieli" those who ousted him from Zion City, and warned them that he would come back from the grave to attend to (heir case. Thus tar the itrownsville investiga tion show's that the town was shot up by the negro soldiers, a job lot of Mexicans, the first citizens of the •own and a gang of drunken cowboys. Hefore the investigation is concluded it will probably be demonstrated that the Japanese did it. Henry Clews, the great financial au thority. in the course of a lecture to boys the other day warned them to “avoid the man who habitually drinks alone.” Nobody will dispute that this is good advice but it would have been just as good if not a little better had he omitted the last word. Nine little Jap girls were admitted to the public schools of San Francisco last week, the first pupils of that na tionality to be received since the agita tion against them was begun. tip to the hour of going to press no report has lucn received indicating that California bad failed to survive the shock. It would not be a difficult task for Augusta business men to drop their affairs and spend the day in nois.dy parading the corridors of the Capitol, bill they will do nothing of the kind. Tiny know full well that the legisti Hue of Maine, charged with tils solemn duty of representing, its wholi' citi zenship, is not to be inllucnccd. much less stampeded, by any such vociferous expression of purely local sentiment and enthusiasm. In view of the linancinl situation which now confronts the legislature of Maine, it is not surprising that the case of tile Portland boomers is losing ground. The surplus that lias been so long harped upon by Portland is gone, and any indulgence in a new Capitol must involve either an increase in the bonded debt or a still further enlarge ment of the gix rate. These are the plain facts of the situation, and even though the city of Portland tills the corridors of the Capitol to (lie utter most it cannot shout them away. i announcement rrom Ulevclanil Cleveland, Ohio, we mean—that Wil liam Jennings Itryan will make a rae" for the presidency in litOS under the personal management of Mayor Tom Johnson is calculated to set all kinds of chills and thrills chasing each other up and down the spines of the political leaders of both parties. Uryan basso long been his own advance agent, busi ness manager, stage director, ticket seller and electrician, that the specta cle of his appearance in charge of somebody else will be worth going a long distance to witness. Whatever may be said against foot ball by President Eliot of Harvard whose team is a chronic loser. Presi dent Hadley of Yale, whose team is a ehronie winner, gives the game his hearty and unqualified support. In a recent discussion he declares, “The tim and the commonwealth twill contribute $n00.000. I>j you claim that this $1,^00,4X10 will build and completely furnish such a building? If so. the people of this commonwealth cannot subscribe to your opinion. nr a ciii4,* ii ui uii?> niiiit? smimiKiy i your judgment must tell you that other, appropriations will be required, thereby raiding a radical increase in individual taxation. There cannot be any injurious effect in showig to the people that a few politicians and perhaps a few influential men are simply studying their own in-; dividual benefit and the benefit of th city of Portland by advocating the re- i nioval of the Capitoi to that city; but are the people, the rank and file of this com- i momvealth, to receive no consideration? Will the farmers of this State, who pay a greater potion of the taxes, bo. made to bear additional taxation that a certain few may reap a golden harvest? Must the present condition of poor road- continue which prevents the farm-, er from getting his products to a fair, market? Must this large body' of men i continue to receive from 15 to 35 per cent, less than their products are worth by, being compelled to sell at the farm, sim- j ply because of the want of good roads’’ Or shall we I t the farmers and others wait until a new State Capitol building; is built anil furni.-hed, time indefinite? The Capitol building at Augusta was gi>>d enough for such men as Blaine and many who possessed energy, ability and Integrity—men whom the whole State! honors today. If it was good enough for such men, is it not good enough today? We elect our legislators under the be lief that they can be trusted and are hon- orable men. Augusta fum sites no allure-j ments to distract their undivided atten tion to their duties. Our legislators when at Augusta as a rule devote their time j to the State's business only. Change tile Capitol to Portland, Ihen note the inci-1 ilthi ir own hard-j earned money. The legislators represea; I the pistple. The people and a majority of the legislators consider the moving of the capital unnecessary, and in all this grand old commonwealth not one sane Individ-, ual can be produced who can give a sound, sensible, good reason for this tin- i necessary expendituie of the State's money. it lornann nns so excessively taxed her people unitil she has a surplus of $750,0(4, why not use a portion or all of; this surplus in good roads7 Surely tho, people have a right to some benefit from the expenditure of JT.'O.OW) of their money. j Tlie city of Floston has a Capitol build- j ing. The people of that city and the stale of Massachusetts propi-e expend- f lug some $5,000,000 improving their State 1 House; but they have no thought of, changing its locition. Why should our State House be nu ved when all improve- j ments necessary can be made at Its pres-! out location at a comparatively trifling1 expense, and grafting to any large amount can be completely barred out? i The Albany state capital building first appropriation was considered large j enough to complete the building and fur nish it. Appropriations and appropria tions have since been made of the peo ple's money running into many millions, and the end is n »t yet. Take the Arkan sas State House at Kittle Rock, and the Kentucky State House at Frankfort, now j building. The appropriations call for an Expenditure of not over a million on each [>f ths buildings. Twice the amount and more will be expended on each and tho 1 fact cannot be denied. Cumberland county’s court house might he cited also as an illustration. It is claimed that the State Capitol can bo changed without any increase of tho i taxes collected from the citizens of this State. Not one sane man in this com monwealth will believe anything of the kind. It is not a fact and cannot bo proved. The primed copy of letter you enclosed to me, compiled by Ohadiah Gardner of the Maine State Grange in executive committee, claims that the re moval of the capital of the State from Augusta to Portland is entirely unneces sary and unwarranted, as it would entail in added expense of several millions of lollars upon the taxpayers. Mr. Gardner voices the sentiments of the rank and 1 file of this commonwealth. His position. 1 Ills manhood, liis knowledge of our State j and its current expenditures, make his j opinion and judgment as expressed of 1 meat value and cannot be proved wrong. Why is the public not told that tho •ommittee on public buildings, before whom the public measure came, were •eallp Portland citizens with the interest j of Portland only at heart? And they sinned the report. I If Governor Cobb does not smell a large graft why does he keep in the back ground in this controversy? His silence Is equivocal to his unbelief dn this pro ject. He has the confidence of the people to date and he desdres to retain it. Mr. Milliken, with all due respect to you and the position you now occupy, I am confident I voice the greater portion of the people of this commonwealth when I say most emphatically: No, there must not be any change in the location of our State capital. Yours very truly, HUGHIE McGARRAHAN. The Journal’s Letters. Portland newspapers assisted by the Board of Trade are making a desperate attempt to discredit the letters from the people published in the Journal. We have on file at the Journal office the originals of all these published let ters with the signatures of the send ers. Try as they may the Portland boomers cannot break the force of this unprecedented expression of public opinion, a sentiment backed up by over 40,000 remonstrants. With the des perate effort that the Portland people are making to secure a change of front from the writers and the false and misleading statements with which they have been flooded the past two or three weeks it would not be surprising if some of them were brought to the Portland standard especially in view of the fact that these letters came from fourteen of the sixteen counties of the State. There were 897 of these letters. l?p to the present time the strenuous ff.q ts of Portland have succeeded in securing letters indicating a change of front tin the part of seven of these men. There are still tip to Monday noon 890 who in spite of Portland's most frantic efforts remain just where they did at the first. In spite of the misrepresentations by which Portland has attempted to win over these 897 leaders of public senti ment and to have them send us re tract ions of their letters, only two of them, Mr. E. IX Dorr of Jay, and J. M. flerrish of Winter Harbor, have writ ten us that they have been converted to Portland’s view. We are frank to say that with so large a field to work in and with the unfair methods employed, wo had ex pected that. Portland might be able to make a better showing, in view of the Immense effort and expense it has Jevoted to this end. Its faiiure to do ?o shows how strong is the sentiment tgainst this uncalled for and needless expenditure of the people’s money, merely to satisfy the greed and gratify the civic pride of the city of Portland. American Meat Abroad. When the agitation against meat packing conditions in Chicago was in progress only a few short months ago t w is thought ihat it would result in treat injurv ur government that meats are now slaughtered and parked under its supervision in ways that are as nearly sanitary as possible. An offieial re port shows that, notwithstanding the lisagreeabie picture painted of the Chi •ago stock yards, more American meat ivas sold in London last year than in I HO.',. Moreover, the amount of British neat consumed in the metropolis lias lecreased. At the present time London »ats almost exactly five pounds of \merican meat for every pound of British meat. This is a larger pro portion ,,f American meat than ever be fore. Th«so simple farts prove several hings. First those who opposed the ■xpo-mre of lax methods in the parking; louses on the ground that it would kill \meiiean meat exports were needlessly ilarmed. Serond, the world soon for ;ets an old grievance when conditions ire improved. These principles will ipply just as directly to railroads, rusts and life insurance affairs as they lid to the meat question. It is a. busy ivorld and people have other tilings to lo and to think of more important than he harboring of old grievances and the ■etnembrance of old conditions which ,vtre wrong and unpleasant. “Two of the members of this com nittee on Public Buildings, before (vhom this great public measure came, eiere really Portland citizens, with the interests of Portland at heart, and a hird member who signed the report with ^them was from Cumberland county—from the town of Brunswick —a significant fact when we ask who ire the parties interested in this con iroversy.” Senator Heselton. The Portland Express announces in iig letters that Brunswick sentiment is itrongly in favor of making Portland he capital. Brunswick sentiment has dready expressed itself to the present .egislature in a remonstrance signed by 40 of its leading citizens. The Express las found eight citizens there who avor Portland. One of them is entploy d in Portland, while another was mrn and brought up in that city, and narried a Portland young lady. The story of that Chicago wife who nysteriously disappeared after her uisband gave her $3,000 to invest in Caster millinery has a variety of norals of interest to husbands about liis time. Smiths in National Politics. Georgia is trying to work up a presi dential boom for Hoke Smith, a grand son of Maine who has been at tin front for over 20 years as one of tin leading Democrats of the South. Tin mention of his name in this connoctior leads the Boston Transcript into re flections regarding the relatively Smal part which the very numerous Smith family has played in American politics. Still there are no fewer than si\ Smiths in the present Congress, a larger number than any other family can claim. The six are Walter J. Smith of Iowa, Sylvester C. Smith of California, William Alden Smith of Michigan, George W. Smith of Illinois. David llighbaugh Smith of Kentucky, Samuel W. Smith of Michigan and William Orlando Smith ol' Pennsyl vania,—a goodly representation for one family, in vie-.v of all the possibilities of American politics. One of the six, William Alden Smith of Michigan now goes to the Senate where there has not been a Smith for some years. The lioke Smith boom has caused the Transcript to reflect that while congressional representatives, senators and governors have borne that name and while the family has had the honor to have eiectoial votes cast for a vice presidential candidate or. two occas ions, as a producer of presidential candidates honored by electoral college voles it has yet to figure in political annals. Not that a Smith has not sought to become president for one lias so aspired: Green Clay Smith of Ken tucky, candidate of the prohibition party in li>i6, receiving 9,522 popular votes, blit no votes in the electoral col lege. One Smith'also is found among tin- candidates for vice president, re ceiving electoral votes on two occas ions. This was William Smith, who enjoys the unique distinction of being twice a candidate for the vice presi dency and from two states. In 1S2S as William Smith of Smith Carolina he received seven electoral votes. In 1 SfSO as William Smith of Alabama, 2.'! elec tors gave him their votes. Dark of the change or Residence lies an inter esting and well-nigh forgotten story, in which opposition to John C. Calhoun plays the most important part. Th" Transcript adds that it may be a consoling reflection to the Smiths that very few others of our numerical ly great families have been known to the electoral college. Only one Brown has ever recened electoral votes for the presidency. The name of Jones has not been more prominently honored. Taken as a whole, with the exception of two Adames, cur presidents have born surnames that, if not unusual, are those of families not notable for their numbers. Supplementing the frantic appeals of the Portland newspapers, members of the committee were circulating about that city yesterday urging every one to come to Augusta today and “rush” the fe*tate House removal pro ject by sheer force of numbers. Wheth er this Portland contingent will march to the Ptate House, ns was the case on a similar occasion 18 years ago, and whether they will bring along a band we are unable to say, as we have not been taken into the confidence of the promoters. It is safe to say, however, that there will be no lack of noise. It will be purely Portland noise, how ever, and will represent nothing ung colored man reeling about tiie street with every indication of Intoxication. The man was also in a dazed condition and unable to give an account of himself. Ho was taken to the police station and locked up as a drunk. Rater it developed that he had not been drinking, hut had just been released from a long term in jail and had been stricken with a serious attack of snow-blindness. Coming from tint rather dimly lighted corri dors and cells of the county jail into the full glare of the sunlight the snow had produced an almost paralyzing effect. The negro was presented a pair of blue glasses and went away in search of work. An old sea captain in speaking of the loss of the Joy Lino steamboat Larchmont recalled a curious colli sion many years ago off Cape Cod that in some respect resembled the recent disaster. The craft concerned were the schooner Hannah F. Carletnn of Jonesport, and one of the steamers of the Boston and Savannah Line. Tip' lights of the steamship were plainly seen by Captain Falkirgham of the schooner. Having the right of way, he did not alter his course, and con tented himself with shouting and blowing a horn to attract the atten tion of the steamer. The only appar ent effect of the noise was to bring the crew of the schooner on deck in time to witness the collision and its extraordinary results In this in stance the steamer inflicted the blow, its sharp bow striking the end of the schooner’s main boom. The mainmast broke off like a pipestem, and the heavy spar hit the deck with sucli force as to drive a big hole in it. in which the mast continued to stand, though so insecurely as to cause the schooner to careen from side to side, the water pouring in through the opening. The blow had, nevertheless, saved the schooner, which would other v iso inevitably have been rut clean in two. The crew, frightened by the boat's unsteadiness, and the rapid inrush of water, made for the dory. Captain Falkingham. believing it possible to save his vessel, seized an axe and stove a hole through the small boat, and ordered the men to their sta tions. They succeeded in tutting the mast and. manning the pumps, kept her afloat, while the steamer towed her back to Boston. Official figures collected by the United States Fish Commission show that in 1903 there were 11.443 gallons of scallops collected off the coast of Maine, having a value of $9,747. and in 1904 the catch was 11.S43 gallons, valued at $12,32.7. showing a small gain in 1 quantity and a sharp advance in price. Of till the scallops taken In Maine, more than 90 per cent, are taken between Penobscot bay and Mt. Desert Island. The scallops taken from Maine waters are giants. The shells are at times 8 or 9 inches across from side to side, j and are lined with glossy and irides cent mother-of-pearl, which makes them sought for manufacturing into buttons. Owners of summer cottages and residents of villages set shells of the giant scallops on edge hi tlv> ground bonlcting their front walks and surround tlower beds with I hem to re flect the brilliant tints of nasturtiums and salvias and geraniums. The dredging boats which have been searching the waters off the south shore of Hancock county for giant scallops this winter have made poorer 1 catches than usual, owing to the in- tensely cold and stormy weather and rough seas, though the mollusks seem 1 to be fairly abundant, while the de- niand for them in the Boston and New York markets is quick and prices are 1 higher. The Maine scallop is much larger and of coarser fibre than the 1 species dredged from the south shore of Cape Cod. Hence, it is not in so I quick demand by the marketmen, j though the great bussinator muscle, t which Is the only portion of the bi- valve that is eaten, is very juicy and t of a rich tlavor. in spite of the larger grain in the flesh. t MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Legislature is evidently hearing from the people on the capital moving scheme. Even the Senate, impervious as it has so far appeared to he to public opinion, seents to he taking «i second and saner thought upon this important question. To vote away two or throe millions of dollars of public money may seem a trifle to men who are supposed to legislate for the interests of the state. To shirk all responsibility, in tlte matter by referring to tile people a measure which they have never con sidered seriously may appeal to the S'enators and Representatives, but the real sentiment of the state opposes any move of this kind and opposes any consideration of such a move. The better and more reasonable judgment j of Cumberland county does not favor I it. The Rridgton News, edited by j Major Sherry, who knows as much of j the affairs of this state as any man j among niff- itiz'-ns, discusses the pro position most sensibly and says: ■‘Showing a five column wide picture of a building about like our national eapito! the esteemed Express queries: “How would the people of Maine like to see a tine State House in Portland like this?” Well, “the people” living in Portland and its immediate vicinity would no doubt “like to see it" well enough: but the great body of “the people of the state” have no aspira tions in that direction. When the state needs a palatial State House it is able to locate and build it without ac cepting a farthing of charitable con tribution from any of the rich munici palities in its jurisdiction. And her people will never feel satisfied if in any way the State of the Pine Tree as sumes the pauper role. "Portland’s zeal in state capital grabbing is so intense it is becoming extremely intolerant of the opinions of others. An eminent and thoughtful citizen who inquired if referendum might not be applied to Portland to see if it would assent to putting out its I portion of the appropriation was d frowned upon and showered with icicles; and now the Grange, the great farmers’ organization, is being criti cised for its opinions, derided as being constituted hugely of women and other non-voters, t ic., etc. When the spasm •f temporary insanity has subsided and the sober second thought of candid men comes to he exercised the •boomers” are quite likely to keenly regret some tilings that have happen “d. and some methods resorted to." Coming from Cumberland County this should have sonic weight. It has reason, intelligence and common sense back of it. and certainly is uninfluenc ed liy selfish motives. Personal Notes.

(Continued from Page Two.) lax to be assessed on “one lot or a less quantity even.” If this enabling act is constitutional, then it is competent for the Legislature to put the burden of a Stale House in whole or in part, upon :uie ward in Portland or upon a single parcel of property, with or without its consent. 7. In the Dyar ease, it was argued that if ihe people of the village con sented by vote, there was no reason why the constitutional rule of inequal ity shall be applied. Here, it is argued that the city of Portland should have the privilege of assessing such taxes as its people by vote may deem to be for its good. To this the court said: “If the Legislature may authorize the im position of such a tax. provided a ma jority or two-thirds of the legal voters residing upon thr- territory consent, it may do so without such consent. Such consent, if it ought in justice to bind those who vote yes, should not affect those who vote no. and especially the women and children and non-residents, who have no right to vote at all. The Constitution does not place their prop erty at the disposal of their neighbors. The question is one of power, not how the power shall b“ exercised Does our bill of rights, and especially that clause which declares that all taxes upon real estate, assessed by au thority of this State, shall be appor tioned and assessed equally according to the just value thereof, allow of such si result'.' We think not. The conclusion shows that the premises must be wrong.” 8. Fully argued upon every point now raised by Portland, solemnly decided against every legal contention now as serted by Portland, made law by the giants of that day, Judges Walton, Ap pleton, Peters and Virgin, and reaf firmed by our present court, a court as great in ability as its predecessors, in a d has been unequall; apj«.rtioiird at the start. It we are livinj *jn«l* r a system where tit*' caprice of Legislature can distribute the burdens o the State so that one-seventh of its val uation shall hear two-thirds of a give burden, it would seem clear that sue tin apportionment of the taxes for tha harden ns unequal. If we are living unde a system where a majority or two-third vote of a town tan assume all or par of any Stale burden, well may the non residents, -women and children and tli nfnority say that natural justice df mtinds that the state should npportio all taxation for state purposes; equal! upon all the property of the state. tVe might our court say, as it did. that oa constitti'i >nal rule was designer! t “gu ird against the possibility of sue oppressive legislation” and denounce i its they did, as confiscation. This question is nut simply theoretic.* nr academic. It was stated liy the sera tar from Lincoln, in the debato in tl Senate, ill it for Portland to oontrihut *7.‘.0.nni> in cash to the State treasury an to buy the necessary site will call ff th constitution h-ng settled by tin* court.

If so. thi bonding bill is not needed.

This is a neeessar; corollary from the Dyar case. It need no argument. •I have heard it suggested that tlicr was no practical way to get an injttnc tion from the court as 10 taxable Inhali Hants of Portland could rot be found t sign a bill in equity for the purpose. No constat, that every taxpayer living i Portland will consent to the tax. Bti such is not the present requirement c equity practice.

Rheumatism, as is well known, is a disease of the bloodtaused by imperfect circulation. The condition of the blood is always bad when the circulation is poor, and you cannot accomplish the purification of it by any system of purg ing-. It is necessary that the nerves which control the circulation of the blood shall be made to do their normal work. Cleanse, purify an I strengthen the blood by taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and your rheumatism will soon be a thing of the past. Head what Mrs. E. \Y. Hinds of Fitchburg. Mass., says: “I have been terribly afflicted with rheumatism, and I wish all to know how I have been cured. One year ago last December I got so bad 1 had to call in a doctor. He came a few times and said he could do nothing for me: 1 must wait until warm weather. I grew worse until I was perfectly helpless. My sufferings were great. "I commenced taking Dr. Greene’s Nervura. and in six months I could go up stairs and down as spry as anyone. 1 had taken a new lease of life. Dr. Greene's Nervura cured me. I have almost died with pain, but now rain or storm does not affect me. I c m enjoy life row. and ride between five and six miles, sit down to work and go out alone, and feel perfectly free from rheumatism. I thank God and Dr. Greene for restoring me to health.

t r EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW. Driving Many Worthless Catarrh Medicines Out of Existence. j The Pure Pood and Drug Law. which went into effect the find of 1 January, has already shown the good I that will follow its enforcement. Many worthless remedies, that have been advertised for the cure of catarrh, a disease that is universally preva r lent, have been driven out of existence by the Pure Food Law. 1 The effect of this is to increase the sal** of remedies that are valuable and that fulfill the provisions of the law. Hyoniei, for example, is meeting with a larger sale than ever before, and Bowditeh, Webster Co., of Augusta and tie**, W. Dorr of Waterville are still selling it under a guarantee that it will cure catarrh or the money will be refunded. Ilyomei is a scientific i treatment that is recommended by the best pliysieians. it cures catarrh without stomach (losing, through iu haling medications that go right to the affected spots. By breathing Ilyomei three or four i times daily through tiie neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, its medicated, healing air penetrates to the most remote parts of the nose, throat and lungs, searches out and I kills all catarrhal germs, and soothes i and heals any irritation in the mucous membrane. The complete Ilyomei outfit costs i $1.00, extra bottles if needed. 50c. and is sold by Bowditeh, Webster Co., 5 of Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville under the guarantee that it will cure or cost nothing. 1 Waterville Notes. I George W. Dorr, the enterprising t druggist, has just received a large f stock of Hyomei, the greatest cure for catarrh. With every outfit he gives a signed guarantee to refund the money if Hyoniei does not benefit. This is 1 the famous inhalation treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing y and is the only guaranteed cure for i. that disease. BULLETST FIT. Severe Test With 25th Infantrymen’s Rifles Show That Four Did the Brownsville “Shooting Up.” Alleged Confession of Soldier Is Declared a Fake. Washington, March 1*.—Four rifles from Co. 1!, 25th Infantry were used in tlie Brownsville affray, if tiie ordinance department of the army can substan tiate reports sent to the Senate com mittee on military affairs today con cerning the microscopic examinations of the 2" shells picked up in the streets of the town on the morning following the shooting. All of tiie rifles in the possession of the battalion of Fort Blown on tile night of Aug. 12, were sent to the Springfield Arsenal and two shots were tired from each. The shells used were then compared with those picked up at Brownsville and the officers making the tests reported that it has been demon strated beyond dispute that four guns of Co. I: were used in discharging a!! of the 23 shells. Two of Co. B's rifles, said to have been used in the affray, were kept in the storehouse under lock and key, tin- key of which was in the possession of Former Quartermaster Sergeant McCurdy and tin- other two lilies were said to have been issued to ITivates Joseph 1.,. Wilson and Thomas Taylor. .Senator Foraker immediately had subpocnaes issued for Taylor and Wilson and lor the recall of McCurdy. lie also asked that the war depart ment be instructed to send for Lieut. Laurison, who commanded Co. B at the time of tin affray. Secretary Taft, in a. letter to tiie committee, pointed oat, that tiie mi n who did the shooting may have used any guns they had secured and that Taylor and Wilson cannot be held to lie guilty because of the show ing mode by the tests at the arsenal. The alleged confession of 'll. W. Gray,” supposed to be a member of Co. B. which was printed fit Galveston to day, was formally denied today in a telegram fimn Major Blocksoin at Sail Antonio. Major Tlrocks'oii! snid in his despatch that he had received a telegram from the chief of police at Galveston, saying that the publication was a fake. The committee today took up the question of going to Brownsville in con nection with the investigation. It was said that it probably would be neces sary to visit Brownsville, but no ac tion was taken toward fixing a time for the trip. IN SERIOUS CONDITION. Young Woman At Middletown, N.

CYR, Prop., 121 Water St., Augusta, Me. Near Railroad Bridge. The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and Unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence anl Quality and o! Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per- feet purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company’s original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California F'ig Syrup Co.— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of F'igs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions- The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.
