THE DRUGE CASE. The Duke’s Bulbous Nose Bothers the Witnesses. One Says He Had One, But (lie Ollier Didn’t See It. Miss Robinson Says Dickens Said Druce Was the Duke. I.ondor. Nov. 21.—The Dr lire ease in which tli« prosecution expects to prove that the tilth duke of Portland and T. C I truce were one and the same man was resumed today. .Miss Mary Robinson was under cross examination throughout the short ses sion Sin said that when she first met Druce. whom she afterwards knew as the Duke of Portland in D62. lie did not have a bulbous nose, but it had two warts on it. She _was severely questioned on this point as it. Cald W' ll of New York in his evidence, said that the Duke of Portland at that time was being treat, d for a bulbous nose Miss Robinson said she lirst met Chari, s Dickens in Boston and was engaged by -him to return to i'.ngland and act as outside Amanuensis lor T. c.

Complete Victory For Mrs. Hartje. Philadelphia. Nov. 21.—Mr*. Mary Scott Hartje. who was sued for divorce by her husband. F. Augustus Hartje. tiip Pittsburg millionaire, won a com plete victory in the Pennsylvania su perior court here today when that tri bunal affirmed in its entirety the de rision ol the Allegheny county court, which refused to grant Hartje a divorce. Tiie petitions tiled by Hartje's at torneys asking the superior court to 'reoper- the case on the ground of new lv discovered evidence were denied. The petitions to reopen the case were i;.s‘-t on letters alleged to_ have been v.-ril'>n I v Airs. Hartje and Thomas Msdlre. the family coachman, who was named as a corespondent by Hartje. The decision which was written by judge Peaver and concurred in liy tho other six judges, says that testimony with the exception of a single witness, •is not only not convincing, but is scarcely sufficient to arouse even a sus picion of improper relations between 11 he resf undent and corespondent." The letters in the case are dismissed |with scant consideration. The newly discovered evidence tiie opinion says, docs not change tiie general aspect of the case. The costs are placed oh Hartje. The letter to which the seven judges of ilie superior court paid much att^n tjon before arriving at their decision was alleged to have been written by Mrs. Hartje to Madine the coachman. It was found months after the separation of the couple, it was claimed. In a pile of ashes near the Hartje stables, torn into small pieces. It was photographed for the ben efit of the superior court and was as far ns could be deciphered as follows: "Mv Dearest Dove: “Mow happy T am tonight. T am sick with cramps the bed If lie is not nursing Good night my, love. I would write more bill really I anr Tfon’t get up early and try to sec me. Bring this with you. “Your old wife. MAKY In considering the letter, the superior court says that It discovered that tha letter was never folded, if written tiy, Mrs. Hart je. the -decision says: "II must have been sent by a third person. It is not conceivable that, this could have been done without it having t.eeo folded." Weston Given Ovation at Toledo. Toledo. Nov 21.—Pedestrian Weston reached his hotel in Toledo at noon.

November Term Held at Waterville, Hon. 0. G. Hall, Presiding. Oliver g. hale. Judge. CHARLES W. JONES, Clerk. FRED E. BEANE. County Attorney. Frederick w. pi-atsted. sheriff. FP.ED W. LEE, Stenographer. Waterville. Nov. 2E George 11. Preble, of Fairfield vs. Al bert Wade, aplt., of Waterville. C. W. Hussey, for plaintiff, S. S. Brown for defendant. This case comes on appeal from the Waterville municipal court. The con troversy is over the re-topping of two chimneys on a house owned by the de fendant. The plaintiff testified that he met the defendant on an electric car, and after calling his attention to the condition of the chimneys on his High street house, finally agreed to build the chimneys. That part of the al leged trade occurred in the fall of 1906. Last April plaintiff said he passed de fendant on the street, and called to him across the street and asked him if he should go on and top out the chim heys, and that defendant said he could. The chtmpeys were built, and hill rendered. Defendant refused to settle. Ho informed the plaintiff that he had no right to go then and re-top the chimneys as he had never employ ed him to do that Work. The de fendant testified further that at the time of the conversation on the elec trics no trade was completed, he offer ing to pay one price, and plaintiff ask ing another price. He claimed further that the chimneys were not satisfac tory to him as they were very plain, and not as high as the old chimneys. Verdict for defendant. This ease was the last on the list of jury trials, and the jury was excused after being thanked by the court for their careful attention to the business of the term. The case of Bailey Co. vs. Martens, C. \V. Hussel, H. L. Hunton, will be taken up tomorrow afternoon by the court. Xo. 730, Holmes vs. Cleaves, Hussey, Brown Brown, will be heard by the court Monday, Dec. 2, at 10 o'clock A. M. STORE BROKEN INTO. Two Graphophones Taken From Frank Blanchard’s Store. A bold burglary took place Tuesday night at the branch store owned by Frank Blanchard, the music dealer, j which is situated on East Temple street. The burglars entered the place about 11 o'clock gaining admittance through a small window on the east side, and it was necessary for them to crawl over bicycles and numerous other things. Two graphophones each valued at $30 were taken hut the guilty parties evidently forgot to take with them tin horns that go in connection, and it is doubtful it they will enjoy a great deal of music as horns to fit these kind of machines are hard to find. A large number of records were broken and things were badly strewn over the floor. The burglars are thought to be of French nationality according to the statement of James Ferland, chef at the Buzzell restaurant, which is next door. He heard about the time of the robbery the noise but attributed this fact, to the noise made by the horses in the nearby stable and heard two men conversing in the French language. One of the men is thought to have been severely injured or cut by glass on account of the amount of blood, which was seen in the store. The robbery was not discovered until yesterday morning as Air. Blanchard and his clerk were out of the city the day before and there was no occasion for anybody from the other store on Maine street to go this one, which is also used as a store-house. The police were immediately informed and com menced investigations but are still un successful in discovering any clue. Colby Notes. The Rev. F. E.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. AFTER UNGLAU6. McAleer Wants Him to Cover First For Browns. Clarke Oriflith Has His Eye on Bradley of Cleveland. N«w York Giants Will Go to Dallas, Tex., Early In Spring. St. I.»uisat Nov. Jl. it is generally be lieved in baseball circles here that Bob Unglatib of the Bost'ai Americans will succeed T.-in Jours us tirst baseman on the Ft. Hollis Browns. Manager MrAb-er Wednesday eon firmed flie: report that li“ was after Unglaub ar.it said the deal wouid prob ably r° through this week. McAleer would tie ti'dtled to death to trade Jones for t'liglaub and throw in some coin to boet. But McGuire wants, a. player i*i return. He would like either Pitcher Howell or Pitcher Pelty. it is understood, or Catcher Spencer. GRIFFITH AFTER BRADLEY. Manager of Highlanders Trying to Make Deal With Lajoic. While Manager Griffith of the New York Highlanders was on his way to his Montana raneli recently he stopped off at Cleveland and held several star chamber sessions with Manager Laioie The Cleveland basebullwriters tumbled to the fact that Grift did not call on Larry for the purpose of purchasing a. cigarette. Tor the Yankee manager nn er toys with the paper "pills." so his visit was said to mean that lie laid dire designs against the Nap lineup. There were guesses pro and eon as to which player Griff was after, from Ad die Joss to the official maseot. One more than usually excited pencil push er wrote that Griffith ami Lajoic wore to swap jobs. Tin* foxy manager of the Yankees did stop off at Cleveland for a purpose, and that was lo secure Bradley, and the proposition was not turned down. It appears ttiat Jajoie is not entirely sat isfied with Bradley's work last season, and there are rumors that lie had de cided to transfer the third baseman to first. Just what deal Griffith proposed to Lajoie has not been made public, but it Is extremely probable that Jake Stahl figured in ttie negotiations. There may be a trade made or purchase mon ey paid outright to secure the valuable Nap. It is plainly evident that Frank Far rell has given Griff carte blanche to go out and get the players lie thinks nec essary to form a pennant winning ag gregation. without regard to prices, and no manager has ever been known to have done as much hustling in so short a time as Griff lias since he left New York.

Joe Borden Proved Very Hard For Boston to Shake. The Bo. ton National League team lias had many of the world’s greatest pitchers on it: pay lolls sim ns formation, tint* probably no greater en thusiasm was shown, perhaps, than when .Joseph Borden of Philadelphia was signed at a salaty, big for those days to ri place Albert G f’palding. af ter the latter had jumped the team at the beginning of tin* season of lSTfi Holden's work on Philadelphia teams hail born so sensational that tie had been named "Josephs, the Phenome non." a title by which he appeared in he rightfully railed Curve pitehing was in its infam y then, and the theory of the mizzling delivery of later days was unknown. Borden, however, had a pe at liar dr* p to his hall that made him nnhittable. and his success was so ivrtain and uniform that there was little hesitancy ill signing him at a large salary for a term of three years, a record for that time even for a elub that afterward became noted for the daring deals in the traffic of players, especially in tin* ptiivh.ise of King Kelly At Philadelphia Borden had as his catcher Charley Snyder, then one of the headiest and strongest bat kstops in the country. Vnder the guidance of this clever catcher Borden made He* strongest hitters in the league appear to be the verit st weaklings, and few of bis games went to the wrong side of the ledger. At the time Borden was signed to re port, early in 1SJ6. the elub secured the services of Tim McGtnley. also a Philadelphian, who had made a splen did reputation as a catcher for a New I Haven team. MeGinley and Borden had previously been team-mates in the Quaker city, and it was figured that, as they kiKw each other intimately, they would make an ideal battery. Borden, who was tall and strong, was a natural boxman. with lots of speed to his ball, which had a quick break as il neared the batsman. This i was about all he had, but it was enough in those days to deceive even j MeGinley could never master the handling of tile drop ball, and, acting on his advice, Borden altered his style, using instead a ball that would rise in stead of drop as it came to the plate. The result was that the “phenom" lost control of it. and he was an easy mark for the men who had previously been the easiest kind of victims for him. the sharpest of eyes. The {allure of Borden to make good nearly broke th hearts of the old time fan:;, for they had hoped that, t nrough him.

Douglass or The Leading Lady, or a trotter like Highball or Sonoma Girl, will be able to stand high as a money winner, although lie may not have had any winning record for years. A study of the list reveals these facts. K f. Geers, who heads the list of successful drivers for the past season, has been among the leaders for years. He is a native of “Sunny Tennessee" and lias been a trainer since boyhood.

Boston, .Niiv. 21.—Different phases of the tariff question were discussed at the annual meeting of the Home Mar ket Club of New England here Wednesday by Colonel Albert Clarke, the secretary, in his annual report, and by President Geo. W. Willis of Soutli bridge upon his acceptance of the presidency of the organization for the third time. President Wells stated that the pol icy of tlie club has been and will con tinue to bn to help domestic industry and this means, he said, "that it will stand for a good tariff until it must lie changed and then the club will do all in its power to have the new tariff scientific and justly and adequately protective. Secretary Clarke reviewed the tariff history of the year, condemning the president and secretary of the tariff committee of the National Association of Manufacturers, claiming that the action of that committee in voting in favor of an early revision and a tariff commission at a meeting at which on ly 25 were present, represented the real sentiment of that organization. Mr. Clark stated that the Home Market Club had canvassed the members of the National Association and that of the 849 answers received 75 per cent, opposed early revision and a majority opposed fixing a time. Mr. Clarke also condemned the action of the so-called North commission in Germany. At the business meeting of the club the old board of officers were re-elected. The report of Treasurer D. Webster Dixon of P,ostnn showed a balance in I tile treasury of $54.12 and an expendi ture during the year of $16,411. An amendment to the by-laws was adopted limiting the assessment to 25 per cent, a year instead of 20 per cent. for six months and authorizing the treasurer to make such assessments without order of the executive com mittee or board of directors.

The $72,000 and the additional amount to come have been conditioned upon the raising of a much larger sum by the university, mainly for its univer sity endowment and extension fund, which has now been done. The sums derived from the general education board can be used for general univer sity purposes, subject to very trifling restriction. Elisha Reynold, aged 13, son of George B.

Palmer in the eighth district court THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings in All The Leading Stocks. New York, Ncv. 21.—Liquidation of the Fame gainful character as for several days past was still In evidence in the stock market today, and acute depres sion in the stocks immediately affected was occasioned by this selling. The weak ness did not embrace the list as a whole at any time, and the market showed some resiliency in the lat»* dealings which suggested responsibility on the part of professional bears for part f coming dividend reductions. The trend of discussion on this point was directed by the advices of cutting down of out put from various quarters. A decided im pression was caused by the report de nied late in the day >f the cancellation bv tin* Pennsylvania of a large order for locomotives. American Locomotive was dirketly affected by this rumor. Th** declaration of the regular dividends on the National Lead stocks helped the metal industrials to some extent, especi ally American Smelting. A rise in the London price of copper also conduced to tills-' end.

Address ail communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYN'T, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Ben Tillman's prophecies as to Re publican candidates must be taken at a large discount. It is a little early for Judge Parker to announce his willingness to stump the country for William J. Bryan. Th'e Jamestown book of experience should furnish a number of valuable pointers for future World’s fair pro moters. With cars of produce blocking the railroads all over the country there would seem to be a good outlook for fail pantries during the next year. The manufacture of cement from slag at Homestead bids fair to con vert a former useless by-product into a valuable article of commerce. Henry Watterson calls Mr. Bryan a political “dog in the manger.” There seems to be a considerable amount of that kind of sentiment in Democratic circh s. By tin* way wliut lias become of Mr. f.ewis Stuyvesant Chanter's presiden tial boom? Can it be possible that the heartless Mr. Bryan and his friends have pul it in cold storage? Kx-Pn side nt Cleveland has had nothing to say as yet concerning Mr. Bryan's candidacy but his silence is generally regarded as more eloquent than words. Chief i f Police Parkliurst of Somer ville, Mass., severely criticises the courts that have permitted convicted criminals to go upon probation, and it inust be admitted that such a practice is not calculated to promote the peace and security of society. The class of Plus at West Point is to be graduated in January Instead of June. Some of those New York edi tors may in- depended on to lind in this, as itt the Pacific cruise, u proof of the intuition of this country to engage in war with Japan. The Chicago Tribune declares that the prize for the best joke of tiie -sea son undoubtedly goes to the Harvard foot In II team. Then, are very many people, however, .who believe that the pia;, ing of this team Saturday after noon will he a gratification to ils fiionds and a surprise to its critics. The peace and security of society is constant iy menaced by the large amount of maudiin sentiment wasted upon criminals in this country. Scarcely less dangerous to the com munity than the man who commits a crime, is the one who openly sympa thizes with him. Where is littlo reason to believe that the •‘whirlwind campaign" contemplat ed l.y Mayor “Honey” Fitzgerald of Boston will kick up sufficient dust to blind the intelligent voters of that ity to the utter rottenness of his ad ministration. Actor “Jim'' Corbett says that he retired from the ring because a con tinuance there involved social ostra cism. This will be news to the coun try. which has labored under the im pression that his retirement was large ly due to the forceful arguments of Mr. Jeffries. IVv. n in the city of Mexico the elite have just conducted a bull light for the benefit of a local orphan asylum. Seven bulls were slain during tile festivities, the young men of the city furnishing the matadors and not a pro fessional tighter being permitted in the enclosure. The audience, we are told, was made up of the most exclusive people of the city and after the bulls laid hi en dispatched the amateur heroes of the arena took up a collec tion among tho spectators, securing! lin.Ofli) in con trihut ions for the orphan asylum. From the Anglo-Saxon point of view that was one of the most re markable charitable enterprises of his tory but they look upon things dif ferently in our sister republic. There is no doubt disappointment at the various European capitals where they hoped to entertain Secretary Taft on his way hack to this country front the Orient. He is crossing Siberia and will make a brief call at St. Petersburg as earlier arranged, but the pressure of duties here at home has led him to decline all the other invita tions he had received ar.d some of which it was expected he would ac cept. especially those of Berlin. Paris and London. The world has its eye upon o;>r big Secretary of War. the man who accomplishes so many things well and whom everybody likes, and he would have received an enthusiastic 1 welcome and most courteous treatment fl in Europe. Perhaps he will have a ML phanee later to accept the invitations. 1 The Move for an Elastic Currency. Now that the financial stringency, 3 thanks to the prompt action of the great banking interests anti the national government, has been practi cally relieved and is passing into his f tory, the attention of the country is centered to a large extent upon the i need of a more -elastic currency that shall meet the exceptional demands of the crop moving period. Good crops are the natural basis of a healthy national prosperity; but so large are those raised in this country that the immense amount of currency needed to move them from the harvest fields, and distribute them to the consuming public both at home and abroad, be comes an annual drain upon the currency resources of the country not withstanding the fact that they are vastly larger than those of any other nation in the world. To be sure this demand is purely of a temporary character. It is practically over by the first of January with the result that the immense sums so employed find their way back again into the banks, together with vast sums paid by Europe for our agricultural exports, and money is once more plenty and easy'. This continues to be the case until another crop moving period makes its annual enormous demand upon the country's currency. The conviction has now become very general that our currency system should be sufficiently elastic to provide for all the demands of the crop moving period without necessitating the with drawal of money from other channels of industry, where it may he needed for the transaction of business. While this is true, the fact remains that any currency designed to meet the stress of the crop moving period, or of other exceptional and temporary condi tions of business, must be of a character that will automatically in sure its retirement from circulation when the special stress that called it out shall have been met and passed. To permit it to remain in use for a longer period would be to invite all the evils that follow in the wake of a redundant currency. Good financiers, however, believe that an elastic currency can be devised that will easily take care id' the crop moving period oi any other exceptional and temporary demands of the business world, and immediately retire from circulation as soon as its work is accomplished. A number of excellent plans have been proposed for bringing about this re sult. Nearly all of them have merit, it is of little moment to the country at large which particular one is adopted so long as it is capable of bringing about the desired results. Congress man C. N. Fowler of New Jersey, the able chairman of the House Committee on banking and currency, has given a large amount of thought and investiga tion to this question. For ten years ne has been an earnest advocate of a credit currency, for the meeting of crop moving and other temporary con ditions of special financial stress. It must be a source of satisfaction to him to find behind him, at this time the strong backing of the great conserva tive forces of this country, brought by the lessons of experience, to a clear and intelligent appreciation of the soundness of his views. In a recent interview Mr. Fowler sam: "It is perfectly obvious to any one familiar with the conditions and the laws affecting bunking credits that the present financial status is distinctly a currency and not a capital matter, and that, if the banks of tin* United States had had the lawful right to convert bank-book credits or deposits subject to check into bank note credits or credit currency, there would have been no perceptible knowledge of the fact that we were moving agricultural pro ducts this fall to the value of upward of $7,000,000,1100, and there would have been no change in the business condi tions of the country at all, for they are essentially sound, and there has been no perceptible overproduction any where. "The products of the country out side of agricultural products amounted to over $17,000,000,000 more. Further than this it is absolutely certain that if tile clearing houses and banks throughout the country had im mediately and without hesitation met the demand for currency by issuing $1, $7. $10 and $70 certificates and cashiers’ checks of the same denomina tions the conditions we have under gone would have been over in 10 days or two weeks.” Titere can be little doubt as to the soundness of Mr. Fowler's position, .lust what measure the committee over which be presides will bring forth for giving desired elasticity to tile cur rency cannot be conjectured at this time. It will be perfected only after conference with the greatest financial men of the country, and will, we have faith to believe, be amply adequate to tlie needs of the country. One measure which has been sug gested provides for the deposit in the various sub-treasuries of the country of a special currency reserve of $500, 000,000. Banks may draw upon this supply of currency at any time by depositing at the sub-treasuries an equal amount of bonds approved by- thw secretary of the treasury. Upon this currency there will be a government tax i of 5 per cons. During the crop moving I period banks would draw upon this currency to the extent of their special t needs- '"'hen. however, the work it l "°uld be designed to do was ac complished, and the business of the country could no longer absorb it at a profit, the banks would return it to the sub-treasuries and take back their securities. There are many advocates of this plan, which certainly has much to recommend it. As we have said, however, the particular measure of relief that will finally be worked out is not of special importance. All the country desires is that it be practical and adequate to meet the special de mands of the crop moving period, or any other conditions of temporary stress that may arise in the transaction ;of the country's business. When such a practical measure has been enacted into law, the country will no longer look forward with apprehen sion to crop moving demands upon the currency, and a money stringency in the midst of big crops and general prosperity will be an utter impossi bility. The Recent Panic Spirit. The Bath Trust company, which was forced to suspend business for a short time as the result of a run caused by tlte panicky feeling aroused in Bath people by the New York financial sit uation. is declared by tlie State bank examiner to be in a sound condition with assets sufficient to meet every ob ligation and will at once resume busi ness again. This is what was expected, and it is a pity that Bath gave way to tite panic spirit sufficiently to embarrass the institution. Any bank ean be put in it very uncomfortable plight if a great part of its depositors ruslt in at the same time and demand their money. There is no question that our Maine banks are all perfectly sound and tin savings of the people are infinitely safer in their keeping than wit *n taken out and hoarded at home. Happily the panic spirit is no longer in the air but it is very fortunate, bo'it for the banks and for tlie depositors, that tlie iiatii experience was not dupli cated elsewhere. Kims on banks are often caused by tile merest and most absurd t umors, by intangible and tin traceable whisperings in the air, and those who are stampeded by them and who rush to tlie bank for their money are sure to be ashamed of themselves later. By losing their heads they not only injure themselves by losing the interest on tlie money width they with draw. but they also injure the safe and legitiioau business of the ^immunity. It is fortunate that no other city than Bath lmd this unpleasant experience during the brief and unnecessary per iod of tinancir.l unrest from which the country is now recovering. A “Parallel” That Fails to Parallel. The esteemed Waterville Sentinel tries to draw a "deadly parallel” be tween the Kennebec .Journal's com ment of any money in that state while f dlowed the recent adoption of the re markable constitution of the new state of Oklahoma and the conditions that existed from the time of the great rush of April 22, 1SS9, down to the time of the ratification of this remarkable in strument. Unquestionably the growth of Oklahoma and Indian Terrltory sinee they were opened up for settle ment has been remarkable, but if the comments of leading financiers of the country are to be credited none of them are contemplating the invest ment of any money in that state while its present organic law, with its preditory attitude towards capital, continues in force. The Sentinel ap parently failed to note that the edi torials quoted from the Journal dealt with two distinct periods in the life of Oklahoma, but it is safe to say that its readers were more discerning. Tljere are many truly good people line apparently believe that prompt measures should be taken to replace the strumous game of football with that of tiddlywinks. A few college pro fessors of the ancient school are to be found among their numbers. There are many Democratic leaders who are of the opinion that W. J. Bryan "ill be load enough for their party to carry through a presidential campaign without adding Toni Tag gart. Doubtless the future would look far more promising to the supporters of Mr. Bryan if they could devise any method of bottling up the effervescent George Fred Williams. The way the new Panama Canal bonds and treasury notes are being subscribed for makes it very evident that there is no lack of confidence in good old Uncle Sam. —-“T*-' Even his most devoted admirers are somewhat disconcerted by the failure of many leading Democratic news papers all over the country to enthuse over Mr. Bryan’s candidacy. There probably will not be as much criticism of the new $10 gold pieces after people have had a better op portunity to gft acquainted with them. The Russian government desires the new douma to distinctly understand that it is fully prepared to do all the thinking for it. The Carlisle Indians have gathered in a notable collection of setups since tlie opening of the football season. Xo less then 220 saloons were closed in Illinois as a result of the recent elec tion in that state. •-.14 Notwithstanding' the criticisms of various alleged artists nobody seem disposed to refuse the new gold coins.

A North Orland correspondent writes: “I wonder if grumbling is a chronic habit. Last spring, men, and I am afraid women too, could be seen in pairs and groups and crowds on the corners, in the postofllce, anywhere they could get something to lean against, discussing the weather. Dili you ever see such a backward spring? was the first question you would be greeted with from every one. They could not or would not remember that promise that lias stood the test tliou scanos of years that wis shall have a seed time and a harvest time. As it is we have sown our seed anil Harvested our crops, and no one can. with de cency, grumble about its being a back ward fall. And now, true to ttieir nature, they are still grumbling be cause there is no threshing machine around. Ho what is it, the elements or the pebple that are slow to get around in time?” They are having a big strike of the electric road employes in Louisville, Ky„ and hundreds of strike breakers have b^en brought from Chicago to take the places of the old men. The leader of the strike breakers is a for mer Maine man K. L. Reed. Of him the Louisville Courier-Journal says: “With a reputation of having broken more strikes than any man in America, Mr. Reed has been employed by the street railway company lo direct their light against the union strikers. That strike-breaking is Mr. Reed’s game is certain when it is known that he di rected tlie light for the Employers’ As sociation of Chicago in the noted teamsters’ strike of two years ago. Mr. Reed with a score of trusted lieu tenants is comfortably quartered in a building in the central port of the city. He directs the battle against the strikers from his room as a general of an army would against an enemy. He is kept in touch with every angle of the .strike by his lieutenants at all times. Mr. Reed was born in Dexter, Me.,fin 1871, and emigrated to Minne sota in his youth. He attended the State University at Minneapolis and was the crack left guard on the foot ball squad during his college days. He is built on stocky lines and shows the signs of early athletic training.” Westbrook Seminary is having a new chapel 01 rather an old one restored. Tiie building is a “chapel with a past.” It was in actual use as a church for a very short period, being deserted a few years after its erection. In the early tifties, however, the students of West brook Seminary rebelled at having to w alk to Sunday “meeting” in The Old House on the Rook,” a good L'niverba list church two miles away. So good old Dr. Weston, the principal, bet hough* himself of the empty building at Al ien's corner, already consecrated to Unlversalist usage. After due negotia tion therefore, the one time church be came the Westbrook Seminary chapel, but one by one its privileges were shorn away; after it beheld no more commencements; then it was joined to Aiumni nail; Sunday services in it were discontinued; tirially about 1SS0, perhaps, it was closed for the second time in its existence, and stood use less and neglected. In lS!*:i the “chapel” was fitted up for a gym nasium. And finally in 1900 it re ceived a third metamorphosis and be came a lumber and storeroom. Rut the story seems about to have a happy ending after all. For the lumber room is today a thing of the past and West brook Seminary will soon possess in its stead a distinctly beautiful chapel. The historic building has been raised to a level with Alumni liajl; it has been newly shingled, and it will be thor oughly renovated inside.

Stories have been told of buttons, tacks land various extraneous substances found i in contribution boxes, but it is seldom that a church member strikes a blow so vc-rve as was delivered by Amos Budd of Potiervillo on one occasion, t was at the cl os* of a missionary sermon that Mr. Ludd, whose wont it was to contribute 10 cents to each of tin* chanties to the sup port of which the church subscribed, was seen to take .a blue slip from bis pocket and look at ii Keenly and affectionately. When. after a slight but evident. he; ita tion, In* dropi ed tiie slip, eaiefuiiy folded, it.to tiif box, i>*a. Lam. win was passing it. could hardly refrain from tin «xdama tioit of joy*. “Tne land will Hess you. Brother Budd,” Jk; said, when the sermon was over hurrying down the aisle to ovo Kansas somo 2t! years previous. He asked about differ ent .villagers lie had know in the old days, and tin-iIly of the town drunkard of ids time, 'till, l.e’s di ad," was the reply. "Weil, well, (b ad and lniri-.’d. is he?" "Nope; they didn't burv him." Didn't bury him?" exclaimed the former resi I dent. tV'-ll. then, what did they do with I him?” "Oil. they just poured him back into the jug.” The Golf-Playing Minister. Kobert .1. Burdette, the humorist says: "Golf caused a Dos Angeles minister to make a terrible slip in the pulpit tho other Sunday. The previous afternoon the minister had been nearly heartbroken by the loss of a match gam" that had seemed entirely bis. But after playing superbly lie fell off at tile end. and Ids opponent i 1-oat Inin out. This weighed on tho minister’s mind and when lie rose it' tint pulpit tlie next morning to announce his tost lie began solemnly: 'What shall it profit a tii.-in if he gain the whole wolld and lose the last hole?' Pointed Paragraphs. j Many an inn seems all right until it is found out. No man is as dangerous as he thinks' you think he is. "'Jet busy," may not be good English, but it’s good advice. 'i here are many sick-of-home voyagers on tbe sea of matrimony. Vov is the time to do things; by and 1-y is the time to do nothing. About the sloppiest tiling on the boule vard is a high heel run down on the side. Some women nr' so contrary that they even have confidence in a confidence man. Daughter may be beau' if at but it must be a serious matter to be tickled to death. If a woman’s ancestors came over in the Mayflower she never fails to mention it to every one she meets. If a girl remains single until tier ideal man conies along the chances are that her maiden name will adorn her tomb stone. The first railroad in Missouri was a track five miles in length, laid from Richmond to a point on the Missouri river opposite Lexington, some time between 1849 and 1851. It was made; of timber, the rails being of sawed oak and the ties of hewed oak, and was operated by horse power. 1 STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION Of the Stale Trust Company-Augusla November 11, 1907.

It is better to have a poor opjftion than to have r.one at all. Flattery has been known to malm a brunette light-heatied. Where there’s a will there’s a lot of disappoint! <1 relations. Your cue to laugh comes when a rich relative gets off a stale joke. However, the disgrace of poverty is overshadowed by the discomfort. Fume men are too good to be clever atnl some are too clever to be good. A lazy man makes a s'trcnuous effort to see how little be can accomplish. Art for art’s sake would he all rigid if food wasn't necessary fur the- stom ach's sake. It’s jiieer how people will si; up an.l take notice when one man begins to abuse another. When ;t man tells a girl she is pretty flic tries to make him believe she didn't know it until he told her. It is much easier for a bad man to live down to his reputation than it i.-. tor a aood one to live up to his.

Experiments are in progress at the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital, 330 Second avenue, for the alleviation of pain by the use of intense light.

MRS. BRADLEY'S ORDEAL OVER. (Continued from Page One.) Mrs. Bradley to Mr. Brown, will form an Important part of the testimony In the case against her on the charge of murdering Mr. Brown which is now on trial before Judge Stafford in the crim inal court No. 1 of this city. Over a hundred of Brown s letters were introduced in the court yesterday for the purpose of identification and a smaller number from her to Brown were also presented. In addition three or four of her letters were read as a part of 1 er cross-examination, showing that the government will rely largely upon the letters to sustain its con tention that the killing was premedi tated and that there were two sides to the relationship between the ex Senator and Mrs. Bradley. The letters will be presented to the jury from time to time as the case progresses. In most of the letters from Senator Brown to Mrs. Bradley he addresses her as “Dolly,” but this is frequently changed for the words “Sweetheart,” “Love,” "Beloved,” “Dear Heart.” “An gel,” “Darling,” “Wife,” and “I.. M. J,.” the meaning of the initials being, as wes developed in Mrs. Bradley’s testimony yesterday. "Little Mint Julip,” which was one of his pet names for her. The letters are full of endearing phrases. He complained frequently of Mrs. Brad ley’s association with "Margie,” whose full name Mrs. Bradley yesterday de clined to give. A11 the letters are not now availabk but some of them are. and quotations from these sufficiently indicate the character of all. Take, for instance, a postscript to a letter written bv Brown to Mrs. Bradley April 28, 1302, which runs as follows: “I have been and am so cross and savage at your performances and vio lations of your pledges to me that I can hardly see; but I cannot leave this letter without telling what I think— that I love you more than all the world sick wlthput you. Life is wretched when you are doing these things. hat can I do to help you? 1 sent you a check for *50 and telegraphed Jones to pay you *25. Did you get both? Do write. Do try at least to be good and true to me. I love you. I love you:' On May 4. 19ft2. lie wrote Mrs. Bradley telling her that he had written his will and would forward it to her for safe keeping. In another letter he refers tp his Illness and says: “I get so tired nights. I cannot sleep or think. But darling, if I once get so that I can live with you night and day. we will grow young and happy together.” In many of his letters. Senator Brown made inquiries concerning persons whom Mrs. Bradley had mentioned in her let ters, at one time mentioning “Clarence,” another “Fitzhugh,” and another “Dr. Betts.” He complained about the presenee with her of her relatives and asked her to get rid of them. Of Dr. Betts he said: “I never heard of him. T do not need him or any other man at ‘The Angelus.’ I don’t believe it right for him to hei gushing over you there. I suppose you think this is another illustration of my •viciousness;’ I think so myself. I pre swne you will not write ami do otner things to wring my heart. It I did not love you so intensely I would not care, hut my love has become a mania that masters all thought and purpose.'* In the next letter he asks: “How old Is Wllmer?” and also inquires: “Does he Fta yat your house most of the time??-’ nnd adds: "How many of these cousins tmd uncles have you there?” On May 9, Senator Brown wrote: “I woke up in the night with that deep pain and apprehension I have had for you the past week. My heart aches and aches for you. My dearest one. I fear that some evil Is befalling you; I can only hope and trust. I think it was a mis take that you went so far away. I read your vicious letter while breakfast was being prepared. I like to read your i scoldings: I know the reaction will come nnd you are ashamed of them before the time I get them.” On Mny 12 he complains of receiving more of her "bitter letters” and says: ‘•I never Intended to taunt you; I intend nothing but love and devotion. I am yours, ns the letters I send today will Show you.” Further on this same letter speaks I again of his will and says: “It gives you more than any child. It is exact ly as you and I planned. If you have not destroyed it, do not. If you have. I will try to write another, but you made a great mistake in destroying it. It was not against my judgment: it was my better judgment." In another letter of the same date, he again refers to the w ill and makes remonstrances as he did in other let ters against Mrs. Bradley's communi cations with a relative named Clarence. In his letter he promises to go to Bos Angeles to bring her back to Utah. The next day he wrote: “Do not worry darling: I will brush away your troubles and wipe away your tears. I will try very hard to make you happy In life. He happy. Be your own light henrted self. “I love you: I worship you: I am your husband." He tells her that he wants her to buy good Clothes. Again on the 13th he writes saying: **1 feel that we are in touch and loving tonight at both ends of the telepathy.” He reverts to the will and makes fur ther remonstrances with her for de stroying it. “It was" he says, “a temporary protection to Arthur, and he would need it badly if anything hap pened to me, to say nothing about yourself.” In a letter dated May 16. he remon strates with Mrs. Bradley for going out to places of gayety and admonishes her that she should give the better portion of her time to ‘'little Arthur Brown.” He &4r tiie greater and lesser scaup ducks, the big and little bluobills, piay be con structed from almost anything. These birds will sometimes come in to where a man is throwing out decoys, and they are, together with tiie ringbills, the easiest of all ducks to decoy. Early in the season an old log may serve as a blind, and a half-dozen de coys will serve to bring the bluobills in. Where the birds have been more or less shot at. and have became warier, a brush blind, with some grass or even hay tucked in will make a good blind, and a large flock of de coys will lie found advantageous. One of the very first requisites for the oc cupants of a duck blind is immova bility. A duck lias the sharpest of eyes, and peeping out, or getting up to stretch, is not only the sign of the “tenderfoot,” but is certain to be the cause of losing shots.—Recreation. Russia's Iron Trade. Consul T. E. 1-leenan of Odessa fur nishes an excerpt from a St. Peters burg newspaper on the possibility of exporting iron-smelting products from Russia, as lotiows: The present critical condition of the iron-smelting industry, as in the years 1903 and 1901, again brings to the front the question of the possibility of ex- porting that product. At present the j factories are not working up to their producing capacity. In 190."/ they had1 reduced their output by S’;: per cent, [against 1901, and the present reduction of 13 per cent, appears likely to be still further increased. It is clear that the home market cannot find room for the full rate of production. The present glut in the market is to a great, extent due to the disturbed condition of the country, which makes it unable to util be the product, and when order and stability are retored then this will change. Meantime there seems only the foreign market as an alternative to a greater reduction. The active demand in England, Germany and America for their own production should make it possible for Russia to secure a market outside her limits. Thus Germany largely increased her own output (part ly made from Russian ore, and yet had to increase her imports from England to li!2,000 short tons, and still the com bine Stahlverhaml has orders for IS months ahead and often declines orders as unprofitable. The situation is the same in England and America. On dune 30 the American Steel Corporation had C.000.000 to 8,000,000 tons of unful filled orders, an excess of ‘J.OOo.OOO tons more than a year ago. In 1906 an English firm asked the I’ral factories if they could produce American sheet iron, which is similar to tlie Ural shining iron, and cannot be more difficult to produce. Of late it has been observed that increasing quantities of pig iron are sent abroad from Russia and contracts are being negotiated for the exportation of sheet iron. Still all this has failed to solve the problem of relieving the home mar ket of the superfluous iron. 1» connection with the question of exportation from Russia of sheet iron there is first of all the fact that the Russian article differs in dimensions from the foreign product, hut that is not an insuperable difficulty, since any properly arranged factory can easily adapt itself to such altered conditions of tlie demand. This applies to flie manufactures of various kinds of rails, JUDGE ITS MERITS For Yourself. The best way to test the curative powers of the Bitters is to give it a fair trial.

Lyman Andrews, of Southington, Conn., is probably the only employe of Uncle Sam who lias worked for hint consecutively for 37 years without a c. lit of pay, says the New York Sun. And in .ill that time lie lias been off his job only twice. Mr. Andrews is the weather observer for the Government here. He began keeping records of the weather in 18fio for his own account. Later he offered to send his observations to the Smith sonian Institute at Washington, which was glad to get them. When the Weather Hureau was estab lished in connection with the War De partment, Mr. Andrews fell in wiili the scheme naturally and was instructed to forward his weather reports to Koston. He has continued to supply them ever since. In 1!M» the Government asked him for his weather reports for every month from April. INTI, to December, 1004, and also the precipitation that had been noted. With the aid of his figures a chart was constructed showing tin* average of temnerature, rain and other conditions for this part of the country. The Government’s first plans for weather observation here included tile taking of observations three times a day, at 7 a. in., 2 and ’.I p. m. As soon as the westtlier reports came under the supervision of the Department of Agri culture Mr. Andrews received from the Government a maximum and minimum thermometer, from which he takes one record a day. Once during these 37 years Mr. and Mrs. Andrews took a vacation, going to the seashore for three days. In his ab sence a neighbor kept tiie records. This was the only time that the recording was intrusted to any one outside the family. For 10 months Mrs. Andrews took the records at 7 a. m. because her husband was obliged to be in New Britain at that hour. I Mr. Andrews’s activity is not con fined to meteorology. Recently he pre sented to Hi*. Springfield Museum of I Soil nee a collection of 40,000 minerals gathered by him. He was anxious to present the collection to his native town, but Southington refused to con tribute the eases in which to house it, and it went to Springfield For the last few years Mr. and Mrs. Andrews have been collecting botanical specimens and have at present about 50.000 in the house, 5000 of which are mounted. A large proportion of these have accompanying them watercolor sketches of the bowers, done by Mrs. Andrews. For a livelihood Mr. Andrews con ducts a greenhouse o fearly produce, in which he also takes great pride. He finds this more rcnumcrative than his Government work. 31 ,COO,CCO FT. OF GLASS.

Their life boat has silently glided over the invisible line, which separates the dwellers of this lleeting and transitory life from those of a permanent existence in the "great beyond.” The mcrcilesss reaper has applied his sickle in our harvest field, and, while sonic heads were already ripened by the storms and suns of many days, yet others have been sacrificed by his unrelenting hand, who had felt only tlie summer’s sunshine. They had not been broken by the storms that have rudely beaten upon all our heads, who have reached the summit, or whose shadows stretcli far toward the east, as we descend with ever accelerating speed toward the declining sun. We miss the voice of him who was ever ready to lay his ex periences before us, and point the surer way. to less accustomed feet. From the life of our lamented Brother Cross we may glean much that would be use ful in our upward journey, or in our declining paths, and we would bring a tribute of immortal flowers to crown the virtue of his life, and remind us that the better part of our lives can never die, that the thoughts of a pure mind, and the deeds that are prompted by a pure heart will live to brighten many a life. Our brother was sud denly taken from the counsels of our circle and we mourn his departure while we grieve for those whose in timate relations rendered him indis pensable to happiness, it is common to look upon tliose whose heads are bleached by the storms and suns of many years and think that tlu-y are ready for the harvest and will soon he garnered: hut how many a bright young flower may be snatched from its stem while the ripened grain is still standing. Wo see this in tile taking from us, those who were seemingly ready for the hay day of life, with all its ripening glories stretching before them. We exceed ingly regret that our young sister's pleasant face will no more lie seen in our midst. And also the face of him whom the inner gates of our grange home had not opened admit, but who m> doubt would have been an agreeable and worthy brothel- of the Order. We would shed a tear over their sudden and premature departure. And may the fragrance of their noble deeds like that of the rose lliougli broken from its branch by ruthless hands, still linger to cheer and bless those who were their companions: and may it sooth tlm poignant grief of those to whom their Jives meant so much. And as we brothers and sisters, one by one give the salutation of the Order, and pass out of those gates, to return no more may each depart with tne feeling that our lives have been made better by out meeting together in the bonds of fraternal love. May the order of Patrons of Husbandry still grow and prosper, ami may its declaration of purposes be fulfilled, and a better and higher manhood and womanhood be de veloped among its members, and in the language of another Patron: “Thus it w ill be seen that the Grange is a family where (lie father's manhood, the mother's devotion, the brother's affee tion, and llio sister's love are so cultivated and developed that they reach out beyond the purview of the family circle, and embrace with fraternal kindness every member of the order, practically obeying the in junction of our Saviour when lie said: 'The second commandment is like unto it: Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy .self.'

CHRONIC STOMACH TROUBLE CURED BY THE TONIC TREAT MENT WITH DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. A great many people who are suffer ing from indigestion arc suffering un necessarily. They can be cured. Proper attention to the diet and the right remedy to tone up the weakened organs are all that is required. The symptoms of stimuli'll trouble vary. Some victims have a ravenous appetite, some loathe the sight of food. Often there is n feeling as of weight on the chest, a full feeling in the throat Sometimes the gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick headache is a fre quent and distressing symptom. A very delicate stomach requires easily digested food but nature never intended that the food should tie digest ed before it is eaten. The stoinauh must be strengthened to perform its own work and what it needs is not food al ready digested hut a tonic. The processes ot digestion are controlled by the blood and nerves, and medical science lias produced no better diges tive tonic than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. “I hud been troubled with nervous ness for some time,” says Miss Julia A Van Sickle, of TIM N. 9m street. Fort Dodge, Iowa, ‘‘and last winter 1 sul fered a great deal from loss of appetite, general weakness and exhaustion. The cause, 1 think, was overwork teaching school here. My stomach was con stantly tilled with phlegm, which gave an extremely unpleasant feeling, and I had no desire for food of any kind. Kerry night I had a high fever, which would continue until I fell to sleep. It would then go down and in the morn ing I would not notice it at all. 1 had a nervals headache nearly every after noon, especially when I began to get tired. My heart also troubled mi— skipping a beat every once in a while. "My father urged me to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as he thinks very highly of them. In a few days I saw they were helping me. My appetite returned and I have not been bothered by stomach trouble or nervousness since. I always keep Pink Pills on hand to take as a tonic, when I feel tired out. I tirmly believe they saved n.e from a severe and prolonged ill ness.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a doc tor’s prescription, used by an eminent practitioner, and for nearly a genera tion known as a reliable household remedy throughout the I'nited States. Needless to say, no medicine could re tain popular favor for so long a period without having great merit. Added to this is the absolute guarantee that the pills contain no opiate or narcotic and are entirely harmless.

AUGUSTA POISON FACTORIES You Will be Surprised to Learn How Many There Are. Did you ever feel stupid and dull after eating a hearty dinner? When food is retained too long in the stomach, because of stomach weakness, the poison factory works overtime and there is giddiness, con fusion of thought, despondency, heart burn, sleeplessness, nervous trouble and other forms of indigestion. It is high time to look about for quick relief when you have dizzy spells after eating. The general use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets puts within the reach of every one a reliable and positive cure for all stomach weakness. Mi-o-na quickly cures the worst case of indigestion, and the pain and distress which is often felt after meals will soon dis appear, such is the wonderful curative power of this little tablet. Mi-o-na acts upon entirely different principles from any of the other remedies that have been used in stomach trouble. It is taken before meals, and has a specific strengthening action upon the muscles of the stomach, increasing the flow of diges tive juices and making the stomach get to work and digest easily and naturally the food which is eaten. Bowditeh, Webster Co. have seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na that they give a guarantee with every r>0 cent box that the remedy costs nothing i unless it cures. Try Mi-o-na on this guarantee of theirs, as they take all the risk and the remedy will not cost a cent unless it cures. Sold and guaranteed in Waterville by Geo. W. Dorr and in Gardiner by C. II.

WANTS If RING QUICK RETURNS I Androscoggin Rescript. Androscoggin County Rescript—Samuel G. Damien et al. vs. George E. Trask. Strout, J. By contract between the parties plain- tiffs were to sell and defendant to buy an amount of clapboards. A part of the clapboards were received by the defend ant. and he refused to receive any more, i The suit is for the price of the ciap boards received by defendant and for damages lor refusal to receive the bal ance. Bundles of clapboards had been sent to Wentworth, at Boston, and one bundle was introduced as an exhibit by the defendant as a sample of tlie clap boards put up by plaintiff under the contract. Plaintiffs claimed that the clap boards exhibited did not coine from those furnished by them. Upon this issue. Wentworth was asked as to the appear ance of tlie clapboards shown compered with other clapboards manufactured by plaintilfs which he had seen before. To which l'.e answered: "They were not standard as far as dressing and grad ing.” And another question: "What, as con pared to the clapboards you saw at the Moody barn, for Instance, that were showed you by Mr. Trask?” To which he answered: “I thought they' were an older lot.” Some of the clapboards received by' defendant had been stored In the Moody barn. Both these questions were objected to, and, being admitted, exception was tak en. which is now presented to this court. The issue was not as to the quality of the bundle presented as an exhibit. A comparison was asked as to this bun dle and other clapboards manufactured by plaintiffs. The witness' answer was descriptive only. It was not a matter re quiring expert knowledge. ‘‘Not up to standard (of plaintiffs’ other clapboards'* as to dressing anu grading. Suppose ho had said one was rough and the other smooth,—one dry and the other wet,— one sound and the other decayed.—ono new and the other old. Either of these answers involved as much of an opin ion as the one given. It was a practical description that could properly be given by any man using his ey'esight. The ex ceptions refer to Wentworth’s letter, in which it was said ‘'almost every board that we have seen so far lias been more or less roughly' dressed. It looks as if the hoards had been planed before they were dry.” This letter was in the case without objection. The answer to the second question: “I thought they were an older lot,” is only descriptive. It is equivalent to saying they appeared older, certainly competent as a description. Exceptions overruled.

Gardiner Pickett vs. Same. Joseph Robitailie vs. Same. Joseph Carter vs. Same. Alonzo Johnson vs. Same. Donald Murray vs. Same. James Kennedy vs. Same. Colin McEadhern vs. Same. Strout, J The above 10 cases were tried together. Til each a lien was claimed upon tho logs attached for labor on and about them in a logging operation, carried on by the principal defendant, for Thomas Gilbert, the owner of the logs. The ques tion i" all of them was whether each plaintiff had a lien, and had perfected it in accordance with the statute. Upon this o.ucstion the evidence was practically the same in each case, except some minor diflerence alleged as to the officer’s cer tificate of attachment to the town clerk. It was agreed that the evidence in all should he considered in each. The logs cut and attached were mark ed “T* with tlie figure of a diamond and girdle and ”G.” Gilbert became a party to the suit to protect his inter est. Each plaintiff had a verdict for the amount due him for labor upon the logs, and establishing a lein upon them. The cases are here upon motions for new trials and exceptions. As to the motion. The writs command the officer to attarli certain logs marked, and here was given a fac-simlle of the mark, and after that was added in pa renthesis G’T. diamond-girdle G”) It is objected that the true name of the mark is -slue diamond girdle.” and that it is mis-named in the writ. Great stress is laid upon this by the counsel for de fence. but in our view It is easily dis posed nr. The writ gave the correct mark. It was not necessary to give It a name. I he addition of the name is sur pliissagc. The true and actual mark upon the logs is correctly given in the writs ami the defendant’s logs with that mark wore attached and are tho logs upon which the liens were claimed. The mark identified the logs, and the name given to that mark is wholly immaterial. Rut if this were not so Colin W. MoEachern, on Page "7 of the report, testified that Gilbert “looked the mark over as we "ere putting It on. copying it from the P'iP"r. and said it was correct ”T dia mond girdle G.” -He called it diamond girdle G.” the name given in the writ Gilbert does not deny this. If hardly lies in his month fo say that the name ho gave the mark is incorrect upon the tes timony of witnesses, some of whom give it one name and some the other. It appears that defendant McEachern gave each of the plaintiffs orders upon Gilbert for the amounts due. and tho holders, the laborers, sold these orders to the Moosehead Clothing C’o., who thereby became the assignee of the Claim for wages due the laborers, and also of the lien itp«n the logs for the labor done upon them, and mav main tain an action thereon in the name of the laborers to enforce the lien. Murphy vs Adams. 71 Maine, 113; Phillips vs. Vose SI Maine, 131. It is said the orders included non-lien claims, but if that is so. the actions were not upon the orders, but upon accounts for labor upon the logs, from which be ore tii.il all non-lion claims wore care fully eliminated. It is therefore immate rial. whether the orders included non hen claims nr not. the verdicts were for hen claims only. The evidence clearly shnws that each plaintiff had a lien upon the logs marked with the characters copted in the writs, and that these logs were attached by the officer, to perfect and secure the liens. But it Is argued that the attachments were net perfected by the officer in his return of the attachments to the town clerks and that thereby the liens have been lost. The statute requires the offi cer to tile with the town clerk not a full copy of his return upon the writ, but “so much of Ills return on the writ as relates to the attachment, with the value of tile defendant’s property which he Is there by commanded to attach, the names of the paities, the date of the writ, and the court to which it is returnable. The offi cer certifies he lias done this, but this may be contradicted by the actual re turn made, if that does contradict it. We have been furnished with only one of the officer's returns to the town clerk, that in which Brogan is plaintiff, which contains everything required by tbe stat ute. It does not contain the statement that the lofts by reason of bulk could not be removed, but the statute does not require this. The objections to the re turns to the clerk tn the other suits do not impress* us as of weight, and are not much relied upon by counsel. The verdicts are supported by the evidence. As to the exceptions. Kvidence was of fered that the principal defendant drew' orders upon Gilbert, owner of the logs, for the payment of the several sums due tlie plaintiffs, by order of Gilbert, and that lie promised the principal defend ant that he would see the orders paid. Tills evidence was admitted against ob jections by Gilbert, "because the actions were not upon the orders, but were an attempted enforcement of lien claims.’’ This is tlie only exception presented. The Issue, as claimed by Gilbert, was wheth er there was a lien, perfected or not. The orders and the promise to pay them had no tendency to establish or disprove the lien, and, whether the evidence was ad missible or not, it was absolutely imma terial and without weight upon the issue on trial. Gilbert could not have been ag grieved hv its admission. In such case, even if the evidence was inadmissible, the exceptions will not lie sustained.

Women troubled with fainting spells, irregularities, nervous irrita bility, backache, tlio “blues,” and those dreadful dragging sensations, oannot hope to be happy or popular, and advancement in either home, business or social life is impossible. The cause of these troubles, how ever, yields quickly to Lydia E. l’ink ham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs. It acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effec tually all those distressing symp toms. No other medicine in the country has received such unqualified indorsement or has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound Miss Emma Runtzler, of cni State St., Schenectady, N. Y., writes:— “For a long time I was troubled with a weakness which seemed to drain all my strength away. I had dull headaches, was nervous, irritable, and all worn out. Chancing to read one of your advertisements of a case similar to mine cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it and I cannot express my gratitude for the benefit received. I am entirely well and feel like a new person.” Lydia E. Pir.kham’s Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all forms of Female Complaints, Weak Rack, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulceration, and is invaluable in pre paring for childbirth and tho Change of Life. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and always helpful. ■sSmSsZL MISS EMMA RUNTZLER SHOE FOR WOMEN
