troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at all seasons in all kinds OF weather, by persons Of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees OF strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise Of it, and no one can afford to do
and consider it invaluable and indispensable. 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered. No claim Is set up tor it
which is unscientifc or impractieable.

murder of Mr.. Barron, cashier of the Dexter
Savings Bank, he informed US that there was
no donbt but that the job was done by a gang
of New York professionals who were assisted
by some one in the vicinity. He says the gang
are well known to the officers who have been
working up the case, but that there is no way
of fixing the guilt upon them other than to Of

One day last week another valise containing
combustble materials was brought by the
Eastern Express Co, to Bangor. A man
claimed it, saying that he expected it to be fill
ed with counterfeit money as he had agreed
with certain parties in New York to furnish
$1,000 of the ''queer'' for $3.50. The money he
supposed was placed In the vallse, but after
wards 1t was changed for the material found in
it. The man said he was from the Provinces.
The Wing thinks that as this is the second
valise Of the kind that has arrived in Bangor it
is about time to order an investigation.

The annual report OF the board of trade
of Portland, Oregon, states that one Of
the largest ship building firms in Maine
has expressed the desire to transfer its
yards to the banks of the Columbia or
willamette river, provided the state will
grant the firm immunity from taxes for
Is or 20 years to come. This subject will
be pressed upon the legislature when it
convenes this month. The report makes
this statement:
1t is unquestonably settled fact that here at
Portland we can build ships at least - to 30 per
cent cheaper than elsewhere in the United States
or Europe, and in addition the vessel immediately
after being built, can secure to its owners profit
able grain freight to the United Kingdom.

election, is due to Republican bolt, and
not to preponderance of Greenbackers.
