Contagious Diseases Among Horses

The Maine State Cattle Commissioners
have found ten cases of CHAMBERS and farcin
within the last two weeks Five of these
cases were found in the city of Portland, one
in Stroudwater village, one in Bangor, one at
East Laswell, one at Bridgewater, and one
at Preque Isle. All but two of them were
brought into Maine from out of the State.
Two came from Canada, one from Massachu-
sets, one from New Hampshire. Two of
them were broncos, one came from the Prov
inces and one came from the West Only
two Of them, it will be seen, were raised in
Maine. and shows that if CHAMBERS were not
imported into the State, our own horses
would be comparatively free from it. The
Commissioners are doing good work in free
ing the State from this dangerous class of
animals. DIR. Bailey, State Veterinary Sur
geon, says no contagious disease exists
among cattle, and but one case has been
found since Jan. 1st, 1888.

Political Notes.

The workmen at the shoe factory of j. b.
Booth In Bangor, have purchased a large
Harrison flag and flung it to the breeze. 1t
has the names of the Republican candidates
and the motto Protection to Labor"
the Third Party Prohibitionists raised a
a flag in Bangor Monday evening with the
names OF their candidates for President,
vice President and Governor, with music by
the Brewer Band, singing by a quartette
and speech by Mr.. Volney B. Cushing.
Colonel Eustis, who was announced to be
present, did not appear.
In his speech at the Republican flag rails
ing in Bangor, Monday night, Hon. Hanni-
bal Hamlin said: 81 am glad to rejoice with
the Republican party, and glad to see that
the banner OF the party is the Star and
STRIPES and not the bandanna. The history
OF the flag cannot be too often repeated. 1t
was borne through the Revolution, was the
nanner In the war against Great Britain, in
the aggressive war with Mexico, and the
most important of all waved in triumph over
the greatest rebellion of the earth--a rebel
lion that only a Republican government
could nave suppressed. At the beginning of
the revolution there was no national flag, no
government, no union of colonies. Each or
ganlzation had its own standard. When the
naval nag was of an orange color
with cross and rattesnake, and
the words Don't Tread On Me-
The first banner adopted by the army
under Washington was called the great flag
of the Union. From it this flag had its orig

made by Philadelphia lady. Congress pro-
vided for flag in 1777 of blue background
with thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. In
1874 came two additional States, and then
two stars and two stripes were added to the
flag. In 1918 Congress decided to have the
number thirteen stars and thirteen stripes.
with one additional star for every new State.
That is the flag which shall wave over us as
the emblem of American liberty. You should
see it as it waves in the breeze over foreign
lands, a symbol of our right. / must not let

Against the names of Harrison and Morton

other countries, give an individuality to o ia
Bile that IS not to be obtained in any other
way. The prices, too, are so low for really
beautiful dishes of japanese manufacture

and that's why they are so universally liked.

you'll see some samples,-only samples,-of
some new things which have just been added
to the immense assortment that we are show

them will surprise you.
