A DARING ACT.
A Portland Night Watchman Held UP by
Four Masked Men.

Saturday night while James Doherty, the
night Waterman of the Portland Plaster Mill,
was attending to his duties in the building,
his attention was attracted by sound from
the outside. Doherty unlocked the door and
suddenly four masked men sprang at him with
cooked revolvers, at the same time ordering
him to hold up his hands, which he did and
the unknown men searched his pockets. The
robbers then disappeared, having secured
nothing, and as since learned three of them
took the Pullman train going east and the
other remained here. OF those who left on the
train one got off and was arrested in Hallowell,
and the other two in Augusta. The one ar
rested in Hallowell disclosed the affair to the
marshal of that city and word was sent yester
day to the police in Portland informing them
where the fourth party was and he was at
once secured.
Those who committed the bold deed are
young men from 10 to Is years and belong in
this city. Their names are Elmer, Chambers,
Benjamin DeWolf, Edwin w. Doyle and John
Hadley. Officer Harris will go to Augusta
and bring the three criminals back tonight

Mr.. Blaine in his book, speaking Of William
FIT Fessenden says: There have been men,
bers OF the Senate who have achieved greater
distinction than Fessenden, but it may be
doubted whether, in the qualities that he pos.
sessed, he had superior in that body. His
personal character was beyond reproach, he
maintained standard of purity and honor
and his patriotism was ardent and devoted.
His character of mind was elevated, and he
had the heartiest contempt for everything
that sayored OF the demagogue. In public al
fairs he was never swayed from the conclus-
IONS py the objections Of his hour. He had
the utmost disregard of personal danger. and
possessed both moral and physical courage Of
high degree. He was constant and devoted
to duty, and circled his life by his public To-
bOre.

Those papers which intimate that the Re-

erroneous ideas. Mr.. Blaine never fought a
defensive campaign. The opposition will have
enough to do, II he is nominated, to keen them
busy in looking after their own defences and
preventing their own guns from being turned
against themselves. Republicans who desire
an aggressive campaign cannot find a better
leader than James G. Blaine.

have for many years been troubled at times
with muscular rheumatism and pleuritic pains,
and have always found Allcock's Porous Plas-
tiers to be quick and efficient in affording re-
lief.
In December last 1 had an attack of Pneu-
monia, which left one OF my lungs in weak
and extremely sensitive condition, accompan-
led at times with severe pain. The applica-
ton Of one plaster relieved the pain in short
time, and have worn one almost constantly
since, as o protection to the weakened lung.
have used Allcock's Porous Plasters for my.
self and family for over twenty-five years, all
ways with speedy beneficial results, and do
not hesitate to recommend them for their mild
counter.irritant qualities, and for their efic-
iency in relieving soreness of the lungs and
pains Of rheumatic or neuralgia character,

That Tired FEELING

When the weather grows warmer, that extreme
tired feeling, want of appetite, dulness, languor,
and lassitude, affiict almost the entire human
family, and scrofula and other diseases caused by
humors, manifest themselves with many. 1t is
impossible to throw off this debility, and expel
humors from the blood without the aid of relia-
Bile medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.

morning with hardly life enough to get out of bed.

ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-MRS. WINSLOW'S
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves
the little sufferer at once; it produces natu ral,
quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain,
and the little chersb swakes as bright as a
button" 1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all
pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and
is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether
arising from teething her causes. Twenty
Eve cents bottle.
