AUGUSTA LOCALS. AMUSEMENTS. Edward Avis’ Lecture. Bird lovers are greatly interested in the coming lecture, "An Evening in Birdland.” .which will be given at the Wlnthrop street Baptist church, under the auftplces of the Ladies’ Aid So ciety, Monday evening, April 13, by Edward Avis of New York City. Mr. Avis is widely known through the United States for his remarkable ability to imitate the songs and calls of -birds. John Burroughs, the eminent naturalist says: I am glad to be able to say to you that I enjoyed your imita tions- of-the songs of our birds (in some cases, reproduction would be a better word) very much. Some of them I have never before heard so well rendered by human organs.” Mr. Avis has had wide experience lectur ing in the various schools, colleges and churches of New England and the South, and for the past few years in the evening course of public lectures for the Board of Education of New York City. Moving Pictures. The new pictures at the Opera hpuse drew large audiences at every showing yesterday afternoon and evening and the crowds came away apparently well pleased. The subjects are all new and very well finished in detail and manner of production, among which are: “The Convent Gardener,” “Animated Portraits,” "Good Luck for the Coming Year,' “For a Flower,” and “Alone in Lon don.” These pictures will be exhibit ed for the last time tonight and a new set will be offered Monday. 8chumann-Heink Tuesday. Tuesday evening next, at City hall. Madam Schumann-Heink will be heard in a song recital that will prove the most entertaining musical event which has ever been heard in our city. Sehumann-IIeink is now in good voice and the program arranged will surely please one of the largest audiences ihat has assembled in this city for a long time. While there has been a large advance demand for seats there arc still some good seats left and it is hopd that every seat in City hall will be occupied when the great singer makes her appearance on next Tues day evening. There will be several theater parties from Waterville. Rich mond, Skowhegan, Oakland and Win ilirop. Seats on sale this morning at P. W. Meins' drug store. AUGUSTA CHURCHES.

TIBBITTS INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fourth Floor—Monks Building 35 Congress St, Boston, Mass. EUREKA Eureka is an active curb stock, com mon selling around 19c, the preferred at Kl.ra. It is a splendid investment besides having brilliant speculative features. There are 12 reasons why vou should buy Eureka Mines Company’s securities Write for them. Now is the opportunity to come in on the ground floor on a straight, clean, square proposition. Writ" me for facts regarding Eureka. EDWIN H. LANGSTON, AUGUSTA. A TALK BY MR. BARNARD; Being a Preachment on the Square Deal in the Realm of Finance. Thousands of so-called mining stocks are offered the public every year. Many of them come to us “arrayed in purple and fine linen” and promising a SQUARE DEAL to the investor. It may be a square deal for the promoters, but do the investors rgally come in “on the ground floor”? I fear they do not. During a recent trip through Maine i n conference with a number of investors I have been surprised at the list of worthless “securities” that have been shown me. Many of the stocks I have never heard of. We have an Information Bureau in our office which we run for the benefit of our clients. In this way I am acquainted more or less with various unlisted securities. It is a list of inactive, “insipid stocks. Some are marked “bankrupts,” some “promotion schemes,” some “over capitalized," some “good but slow.” But many of these shown me are unrecorded. They are ILLEGITI MATES. The offspring sprung from the brain of some unscrupulous promoter who has the audacity to enter for a few minutes the Realm of Finance, pass out a few of his Counterfeits and then having “filched from the hard hand of toil” a few paltry dollars in order to make glad his calloused heart, “folds his tent like the Arab and silently steals away.” Why cannot mining be run on BUSINESS PRIN CIPLES Statistics show legitimate mining pays 300 per cent. That every dollar invested in mining brings greater returns than the same amount invested in rail road, shipping and manufacturing combined. Out of my little experience I would suggest what seems to me a few safeguards. BUY A LISTED STOCK There are hundreds of mining concerns who an nounce that they will soon list their stock. WAIT TILL THEY DO. The Exchange and the Curb are the Clearing Houses for stocks. It is here a stock finds its level. The promoters having perhaps stocks they could never list may advise you not to gamble in stocks. So I advise you as well. But buy a listed stock so when you need money you can turn your stock instead of going about seeking a buyer all over the United States, Canada and the Isles of the Sea. BUY GOOD MEN WHEN YOU BUY. What do I mean by this? I mean when you buy an interest in a mine see that you get with it a board of honest, reliable Directors,—not dummies but busi ness men who want to make money FOR you. not i OUT of you. Never buy any stock till you have looked these people up through the various channels. BUY THE BOOKS OF THE CORPOR ATION, WHEN YOU BUY Associate yourself only with a concern WHOSE BOOKS ARE OPEN TO YOU EVERY WORK ING DAY IN THE YEAR. Then you will avoid getting into concerns who have Dark Lantern Com mittee meetings, and you can safyly pass through the door marked “Private” unchallenged, because you are part and parcel of a great business corporati6n. Paste this in your hat if it is large enough. I may be wrong but M, G. BARNARD. James Walker Son 46 Bridge St., Gardiner, Maine.

There will be other evidences of frostiness at the Denver convention in July than the snow which It is pro posed to bring down from the moun tains. The President’s special message on anarchy meets the approval of every body except the anarchists and their opposition Is hardly to be taken as an argument against the proposed stricter legislation. Anarchy is a form of vermin that this country must rid itself of. It ij a pity that Emma Goldman, that pestilence in petticoats, could not have been kept out the country when she crossed over into Canada this week. It would have been rough on Canada, to be sure, but perhaps Canada could have passed her on to New Zealand. How do our battleships resemble our girls? Because they are always having trouble about keeping their belts right.—Norfolk Landmark. Also because they can’t climb a tree and because Is takes a lot of money to keep them going and because they keep their powder dry and because they fear no rivals. At the Florida resorts which are now closing up their seasons it has been one of \the banner winters in their history. Ormond, for instance, re ports that it has had a splendid busi ness and that the New York financial panic caused no decrease in the num ber of visitors or in the amount of money they spent.

When the Liver goes Wrong, don't Abuse, it The old way of treating: a torpid liver was •with salts or cathartics. They whipped the tired liver to a spurt of action. But this is what else they did: They Irritated the lining of the stomach and bowels, causing an inflamma tion. They flooded the bowels with digestive juices, needed to digest your food. They upset every function. Thus every habitual user of salts and piiu suffers from chronic dyspepsia. The liverneeds gentle treatment. Abuse means injury. Then the liver gipws hard and unre sponsive, compelling a larger dose. Cascarets act naturally. Their effect is the same as the effect of laxative foods. They bring their results without injury. Without the pain and griping whicb denote irritation. Every effect Is curative. When you realize all that harsh physic does, you will never use anything but Cascarets. Cascarets are candy tablets.

Some of the Notions For Divorce Now on the Docket. The grand jury for the April term of the Kennebec superior court rose Friday morning, after being in ses sion since Tuesday, and reported 19 in dictments. A new grand jury will serve for one year beginning with the September term and the present grand jurors will have nothing else to do un less a special session is called, which docs not seem probable. Only two of the indictments re turned by the grand jury were made public. They were as follows: George Poulin of Augusta, larceny of two $20 bills and two $10 bills, from Augustus Poulin and Caroline Poulin of Augusta. Edward isroaricK, anas rmaie cruu rick, alias Edward Lodrick, alias Ed die Lodrick of Gardiner, receiving stolen property. The criminal docket will be called at 10 o'clock next Monday morning and the trial of criminal cases will begin at 10 o’clock, Tuesday morning. The smallest number of indictments returned by a grand jury in this county in recent years was at the April term, 1906, when 11 true bills were found and the largest number was at the September term, 1905, when 215 in dictments were reported. These were during the administration of Hon. Thomas Leigh of Augusta as county attorney. In the Kennebec superior court Fri day the jury wrestled from 9.50 o’clock in the morning until 3.30 o’clock in the afternoon, nearly five hours, on the famous “hog” case, and then reported that it was unable to reach an agree ment and was discharged. It is under stood that six of the members of the panel were in favor of returning a ver dict for the plaintiff while the other six favored the defendant. The case was tried at the January term result ing in a disagreement. This was an action to recover the sum of $31.50 for 700 pounds of hog at 4% cents per pound, which was sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. The defence contended that the hog died on the way from the plaintiff's farm i.. Riverside to the railroad station at Au gusta preparatory to its being shined to Freeport and therefore the d: fence was not liable for the payment of it. Joseph Williamson and Erne: t L. McLean of Augusta appeared an coun sel for the plaintiff and Charles G. Keene of Portland and Robert 15. Ran dal! of Freeport for the defend iht. The following are the civil cases as signed for today: George D. Haskell of Augusta vs. C. H. Burns and Charles B. Savage, trus tee, on an action to recover on account annexed. Frank G. Farrington of Au gusta for the plaintiff and S. L. Titcomb of Augusta for the defendant and trustee. E. G. Palmer of Readfv Id vs. M. E. Russell of West Mt.

Jones will re-open the Wind sor hotel in this city April 20 for the summer season. Mr. Jones Is visiting this week with friends in Camden and plans to run the house under similar lines as in the past, other than that the rate will be increased. Belfast has been without a good hotel servise for some months and the re-opening of the Windsor will be received with pleas ure on the part of all citizens. The death of Albion H. Bradbury in this city, whose funeral Will take place Saturday removes one of the oldest residents of the city and a man who had been very well known among the people of Waldo county. He was born Sept. 16, 1822, the son of Nathan iel H. and Sophia (Moulton) Bradbury, who were natives of Belfast and York. He had been in poor health for some years and his death was due to a com plication of troubles as the result of a spinal affliction with which he had been troubled for some years. He was reared in this city where he obtained his early education and in the com mon schools and the Belfast Academy. He entered the Belfast Bank, where he studied banking under his father and later became the valued cashier, which position he held some 34 years, in that and its successor, the Belfast National Bank. He retired in 1893, and the greater part of his life since had been spent in his home on Church street, which was erected by his father and where he had a valuable collection of antiques and a good library. Failing health confined him to his home and with his sister he had lived rather an exclusive life. He was d member of the Unitarian church and a strong Repub lican in politics. His sister, Caroline Bradbury, and a nephew, Charles W. Frederick, both of this city, are the near surviving relatives. Tftt1 AyiH'twa ut tliu infpwun*jodi oking Easy TABER REID, AUGUSTA. F. S.

In spite of the, best efforts of medi cal men, catarrhal troubles are in creasing not only in Augusta, but all over the country. Catarrh. is a germ disease, and to cure it germ life in the breathing organs should be destroyed, and to do this no other treatment has such posi tive and beneficial action as Hyoinei. When the mucous membrane is irritated and raw and the tissues weakened, there is an ideal lodging place for catarrhal germs. Ereathe Hyomei and see how quickly it soothes the membranes, vitalizes the tissues and destroys all the disease germs, rendering catarrh no longer possible. There is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyornei is used; no tablets or liquid mixtures, w’hereby the digestion is often destroyed and intestinal troubles added to the horrors of catarrh. Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every Hyomei outfit, the healing balsams penetrate to the most remote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, destroying the catarrhal germs so that quick re covery follows. Bowditch, Webster Co. agree to refund the money to any purchaser of Hyomei who does not find that it does all that is claimed for it. The com plete outfit cost^ but $1.00. Sold and guaranteed in Waterville by Geo. W. Dorr and in Gardiner by C. H. Beane. BIG DEAL MADE. Frank Jones Estate Sells Summer Re sort to Ellsworth Man.

FOR EQUAL RIGHTS. Commerce Commission to Hold Hear ing on Southern Railroad Matter. Washington, April 10.—The Inter state Commerce Commission expects soon to hold a hearing in a case of greut interest in Connection with the letter sent by President Roosevelt to the department of justice in regard to enforcing the laws requiring equal ac commodations for negro and white passengers. The case is that of five bishops nf the African liiethodist Episcopal church against four largo railroads ol' the South and the Pull man Co. Inferior accommodations for pas singers of the African race, the re fusal of sleeping car and dining car facilities, ami other alleged discrimi nations constitute the grounds for the complaint. The complaint, which aimed at all of the railroads operating in the South, is made directly against the Seaboard Air lone Railway, the Richmond, Krederiekhurg I’otomac Railroad Co., the Southern Railway, the Cen tral of Georgia Railway Co. and the Pullman Co., all of which practically have denied the charges contained in die complaint made by Bishops Wes ley. ,M.

A petition from the general conference of African Methodist Episcopal church accompanies the complaint. PERKINS ON LUMBER. Makes Strong Appeal for Abolition of Duty—Denounces the Paper Trust. Washington. April 10.—Representa tive Perkins of New York, insisting in the House today that there should be a revision of the tariff, declared that at times, he felt that there was just as much chance of obtaining a favorable report on some bills intro duced by him for the repeal of cer tain duties from the ways and means committee "As it is constituted" as there would be of passing a bill against bigamy in a Congress of Mor mons. Referring to the bill introduced by Hale's Honey 01 Ho£Sr5? By itstime-tested merits,its uniform success, prompt action and clean taste,Hale’s Honeyof Horehound and Tar has become the standard remedy of its kind. Recommended as safe, simple and effective. The Old Family Standby For Coughs and Colds Sold by^ll Druggisis Pike's Tooth ache Drops Cure In One Minute him to take the duty otT lumber of all kinds, wood pulp and works of art, Perkins declared that it was strange Congress should have Imposed legisla tion intended to prevent the use of for eign lumber, having its necessary re sult in the more rapid depletion of our own forests. It was stranger still, he said, that Congress should now hesi tate to repeal such legislation. The lumber industry, he asserted, was In the hands of a few multi-millionaires and a few great corporations. Land that was selling for a few dollars per acre 15 years ago, he said, now sold for 20 times as much and in that con nection he maintained that “An enor mous speculation for the benefit of a few has been paid for by an increase in the cost of every frame house built and every cord of wood burned in every home of the United States." It would be wiser, he argued, to offer a bounty on lumber imported into the United Slates than to impose a duty to keep it out. Perkins denounced the Paper Trust and said it did not seem to him that such a development of American in dustry needed the interposition of the government to increase its gains. CAPITAL JOTTINGS.

They also captured a cart loaded with dy namite which the prisoners had in their possession.

Fire in the big Franklin building in New York Friday caused a loss of at least $75,000, and thousands of gallons of water which was poured on the liames soaked dozens of offices on the five lower floors of the building.

And Others Narrowly Es cape Death In Flames. Lillie Tots Lose Lives While Hurrying lo Safely. Father and Mother Save One Child Each*»Badly Burned. New York, April 10.—Two small boys were killed and several other persons Injured early today in a tire which caused a loss of $20,000 to the live story tenement house at 25 Pitt street. The fire drove 20 families from their homes in the five-story building and emptied tenements and lodging houses for a block. The boys who perished were Willie Chesncr, four years old, and his broth er Solomon, three, who were making their way from their hinie on the fifth floor with their father and mother, Mr, and Mrs. Jacob Chesner. when they lo«t their way. The mother saved her self and her infant daughter, only af-j ter she had dushbd through flames which set fire to her hair and burned the flesh from her feet. The father saved himself and his eldest son Butchke, six years old, after flames hod encircled him, burning off his hair and his beard. The fire was discovered by a ten ant on the second floor, who aroused the other occupants of the house and soon the fire escapes were crowded. The women and children had a hard time in the crush, but the firemen ran up ladders and soon had the fright ened people on the ground. The Ches ners had tried to make their way down the stairs when the fire escapes were found filled and it was in the halls that the two boys lost their lives. None of the injured were badly hurt. The fire was extinguished before it had spread from the building in which it started, but many surrounding struc tures were seriously threatened for a time. The health officials of Boston who have been investigating possible sources of the typhoid fever epidemic which has spread to Jamaica Plain, where there are now 230 cases of the disease, were Friday notified that John J. Falion, Jamaica Plain, one of the peddlers-for a large milk concern sup plying the district, died early Friday, a victim of the disease. The health offi cials now state that, they believe the infection had its origin in Boston and will make a complete investigation on that basis. TIMBERLAND VAX HEARING. (Continued From Page One.) estration and all are working toward it.” In answer to a query Mr. Goodwin said that the same differences exist be tween the valuation of two wild land towns as between two pieces of prop erty on the street. Mr. White—"Assuming that the rev enues of the State are sufficient to look after the necessary expenses of the State, what objection can there be to doing away with the State tax on towns. Mr. Goodwin—“Well, that’s a matter for the commission. I have been speaking more particularly in regard to the question of timberland tuxatlon. Mr. Drew—"Do you think It good policy to tax citizens to anticipate a. small State debt of 3 per cent? Mr. Goodwin—“I do. 1 believe it good policy to tax whatever is neces sary to pay your debts. lion. Charles E. Oak was asked by Chairman Drew to give his views on the subject of timberland taxation. Mr. Oak said in brief: "There is one phase of the matter that 1 would like to speak upon; investigations that 1 made while in Augusta fully demon strated that the annual increase of spruce grow th In Maine does not ex ceed 3 per cent. How would that work out with a 2 per cent, increase in tax? If a systematic cut of any certain size would be carried out it would be, 25 years before a second cut ting could be. made. A two per cent, tax on tlie same time would mean 60 per cent, on the value of the crop. 1 wish also to call to the attention of the commission that spruce land must not be confounded \vith mixed growth and hardwood land. There is no second crop there. The timberland owners In my judg ment have been very frank in this mat ter. I think you will find that the es timates of the assessors have been practically right. To my certain knowledge very many towns have been taxed at more than they are worth and more than they will ever yield. Mr. Drew--"Do you regard the an nual cut as more than the annual growth? Mr. Oak—“In some sections it cer tainly is and on the whole, I should think that it is. Mr. Dcering—“Do you have any faith in the re-seeding proposition? Mr. Gak—“To a limited extent it would have to be undertaken by the government rather than by individuals. You must reckon SO years to get your crop and the cost would be at least $1 an acre. Reckoning that at simple interest your property doubles in 10 years you will see where that will bring you.” Mr. White—"Some tell us that the wild lands have a valuation at $100, 000.000. Mr. Oak—“That is out of reason You can take very much less money and own all the wild lands in the State of Maine. I can point you to many acres in the market that can be bought for a great deal less than the valuation of the State assessors.” The commission desired some informa tion regarding the cost of mapping a township and this was given by D(-. E. II. Wheeler of Augusta. W. J. Danigan said that if the State needed more money to pay its regular expenses he Is willing to come up and meet his assessments. ”1 believe.” said Mr. Danigan. “that the wild lands of the State are valued within 10 per cent, of their actual value. I know that tlds is so in Somerset, Piscataquis and Franklin counties and I presume the valuation in Penobscot is about the same. Valuation lias been steadily increasing for about 10 years.' A great per cent, of the lands has been burned over and much of it is covered with water and logs. IJere the valuation la often too high, boinet lines It Is too low.” Mr. Danlgan sold that "If land was reseeded It would require 75 years for the timber to reach a merchantable value." Mr. White—"What do you think of a tax Imposed on the cut Instead of the land?” ‘•It would help some and hurt others. For instance, a man holding on to his land and not cutting would evade taxa tion entirely.” Hon. I. K. Stetson was the next speak er. "We do not object to our fair share for taxation,” said Mr. Stetson, "nor do we think that valuation Is too high upon the whole. Of course it is very difficult to get an actual valuation that will stand for some years. I hope, however, that when your commission formulates its principle it will endeavor to give men a fair income on their investment and en courage thpm in their efforts to devastate the forests.” Mr. Ames said that Mr. Goodwin had expressed his exact sentiments. He did not favor the Darling proposition hut thought it had its good points. Chairman Drew then called upon Hr. T. TJ. Coe to express his sentiments on the matter. Dr. Coe said in part that he had seen it stated that the timberlnnds in Maine were wortli $100,000,000. witli an Income of $8,000,000. He had thought that all that could be reckoned as income would be the value of a growth for the year reckoned. Getting at that as well as he could, Dr. Coe said that he had come to the conclusion that he could not reckon the average income of forest land as above 3 per cent., although lie had never heard anyone set It so low before. He was glad to see that the commission is paying some attention to the impor tance of the preservation of the forest. "Bangor lias grown up and lived on for est products and lives on them today,” said Dr. Coe. "As our lakes and rivers dry up, Bangor will dry up,” which caused a smile among some of the hear ers. And Dr. Coe quickly added, "Ban gor has never had the name of being a dry town.” Dr. Coe then spoke at som length on the importance of the preserva tion of forest lands. D. If. Darling of Gardiner then spok at some length in regard to fire protec tion and gave his sentiments as favorln the Introduction of a stumpage tax. Hi vtews have already been given at length in the papers of the State. Mr. Darling was cross-examined closely by Mr. Stetson of the Grange, Mr. Han son and Mr. Weeks of Fairfield. Mr. Stetson said the figures Mr. Darling had quoted on the profit made on Maine farms were much too high. Mr. Hanson asked Mr. Darling if the cost of labor on a farm as compared with that re quired to get a crop off timberland, acre for acre, was taken into consideration. Mr. Darling replied by saying that in Germany where timberland is cared for the best of anywhere in the world the profit per acre is only one-seventh of that on larms. W. J. Lanigan said that the wild lands are valued within 10 per cent, of their actual worth. The late afternoon was devoted to a discussion of general tax problems. CAN’T BLAME HIM. Mr. Elkins Tired of Yarns About Abruzzi and Miss Katherine. Washington, April 10.—Senator Stephen B. Elkins, in view of the re ports from Rome that the rumored engagement of Miss Katherine Elkins to the Duke of the Abruzzi has con firmed and that matters lias progress ed so favorable that the royal family have placed orders for the wedding gifts tonight sent to The Associated Press, a statement depreciatory of current reports, as follows: “If you can consistently, will you kindly cease the publication of dis patches and rumors of the reported engagement of my daughter.
