land, ILL.,, Ledger, portrait of whose
wife is given above, says in his own paper,
editorially:
Our leading druggist, DIR. W. &.
Gregory, informs us that his sales OF
Paine's celery compound have been won
dcrful lin fact, he states that he has In six
months sold more celery compound than
all other medicines combined. There hns
been constant demand for 1t.
Zone of the noticeable cures that this
medicine has made is the case of Mr.. Phil
Clinard, who last spring was Republican
candidate for county treasurer. Mr.
Clinard's ner,es were all unstrung; he
had no appetite and was all run down
He commenced using Painc's celery com
pound, and today there is not more well
and vigorous citizen in this whole com
munity than Mr.. Clinard Another case
that comes closer is that of the wife of the
editor of the Ledger. Every one in Oak
land knows that Mrs. Ycargn was con
fined to her bed for three whole months
with neuralgia. At times her pains were
awful, so much so that her hands would
clinch and it took the united strength of
two persons to straightcn out her fingers
DIR. Garvcy, tho family physician,
tfehteu nct iof inont1S, Dut all ne cOulu
do was to alleviate the pains, not cffecting
u cure Along last winter she commenced
using Painc's celery compound.
She commenced to gain In flesh ut
once. Her pain all went away; her vital
ity increased weekly, and today there Is
not more healthy woman In town than
she. Her ncighbors all marvel Mt her com
plcte recovery, and ask her the cause, and
she has no hcsitancy in saying that 1t Is
all due to Paino's celery compound. This
is given voluntarily In the hopes that
others who arc afflicted may be proHted
by using this great medicine, which to
day is without a peer in the land"

ANOTHER ACCOUNT
Places the Loss at About SIS, 000-Good
Work by WateryiIic Firemen.

Watcrville, April 12.-(SpeciaD. -Word
was received in this city, about 4.30, this
afternoon, that there was large fire at
Oakland, and asking aid from our fire
department. The steamer company at
once responded and the steamer was
loaded on the cars and taken by special
train to Oakland. The run was made IN
eight minutes.
The fire at Oakland was in the old Dus
tin & Hubbard mill at the "Upper Mills. ,
occupied by the Waterman Machine Too
Company. The blaze started in the
foundry and made rapid Roadway, SO that
soon the building was a mass of flame.
Some difficulty was experienced In getting
the private fire pump of the company al
work. and when it was it was too late to
save that part of the plant.
When the Waterville firemen arrived, the
fire had nearly consumed the foundry and
had caught on the dwelling house, stand
ing some distance away, owned by Mrs.
Bryant and occupied by Mr. Day. A
line from the steamer did good work in
extinguishing the fire, but not till the
building had been practically destroyed.
The fire in the companys plant was
confined to the foundry, the other build
ings being saved by steel roofs and wall
protectors.
The whole loss will probably reach
sl5. 600, although quite portion of this
amount is on patterns burned, some OF
which were old aud might not have much
value, in which case the amount Of the re-
suit would be far less serious. There was
an insurance of $4,000 on the property

WATERVILLE IN 1T.
The New England League Can Use
the Colby Grounds,
And Part Of Our Games Will Be PLAYED ir
That City.

Watervillc, April 12-(SpeciaD. An
important matter in the success of the
plan to have part of the New England
league games played in this city, was
decided, Thursday. At a meeting of the
prudential committee of Colby university,
it was unanimously voted to allow the
league to have the use of the Colby base
ball grounds during the summer vacation.
Tho committee was very generous in its
offer, and only requests, it is understood,
that there shall be no games played
before the close of the present term
on any day in which it will
interfere with the regular college work.
Nothing more satisfactory could be asked
for.
Although scarcely any time has been
put into the canvass yet there is q good
nucleus of the $500 stock subscription
taken and with the growing interest
in the PROJECT there is no doubt but what
Waterville will be heartily associated with
her sister cities of the Kennebec in the
support of u New England League team
The Electric Road heads the stock sub
scriptions in this city with four shares
The lovers of base ball in this city will be
glad to learn that l.. Il. Patterson, the crack
pitcher of the Colby University team, has
signed a contract to play with Manager
Burnham in the New England League.
Patterson is not a new man in this league,
having played there with the Portlands
in 1898. Last season he was with the
Nashuas, where his fine work attracted
very general attention.
Besides being speedy pitcher,
Patterson is hard hitter and one
of the best out-ficldcrs in New Eng
land. Several clubs of the New Eng
land League were after him, but he
preferred to play in the Kenneboc
valley. People here, who have had
ample opportunity to see his work feel
that in signing him Manager Burnham
has secured prize. He will not report
until June 18th.

FIRE AT OAKLAND.
Waterman Tool Co.'S Plant
Damaged About $4,000.
Seven Buildings on Fire at One Time
Whole Town Threatened.
AID from WatervilIe Saved Town-Worst Blaze
For Ten Years.

Oakland, April a.-(Spccial).- TIL,
most destructive fire that has occurred il
Oakland in 10 years, broke out about I
+. NJ, in the pattern room of the Water
man Machine Co, and extended to tht
building Of the Oakland Machine Co
At one time it looked as if the whole
town would be destroyed Seven houses
were in flames and but for the almost
superhuman efforts of the local fire depart
ment, the main building of the Water
man Tool Co. would have been destroyed
with its SIS, 600 worth Of machinery.
A fierce wind was blowing, which
famed the flames and carried great brands
across the town.
1t soon became apparent that the Oak.
land fire department was unable to cope
with the flames, and assistance was
summoned by telegraph from Waterville
special train. They finally managed tC
check the progress Of the fire.
The Waterman Tool Co. will lose about
$25, 600, together with their valuable
patterns. Insurance, only $4,000.
A private residence owned by George
Bryant and occupied by Charles Day, was
burned to the ground. The furniture
was total loss and the family are com
pletely destitute. The loss on the build
ing was fully covered by insurance.
But for the timely arrival of the Water
vile fire department., the whole towr
would undoubtedly have been destroyed
No casualties.
Tonight the city is in darkness, thu
electric light wires having been burned

STILL MORE FLAWS
Found lin the Income Tax Law B,
Keen-Eyed Attorneys.
Many Fine Points That Will Bother Collectors
and Law Courts.

Washington, April 12.-Much add
tional income tax legislation is confidently
expected by the United States supreme
court officials, but they have no informa-
ton as to what shape it will take The
regulations issued, yesterday, by the in
ternal revenue division, the attorneys say,
cannot be enforced in full 1t is pointed
out that the decision of the Supreme court,
Monday, wipes out of the law all reference
to incomes from rent, and the statute
were never mentioned.
The requirement that the returns shall
include the amount received from that
source, the lawyers, say, cannot be en-
forced, as there is no provision upon which
the process can be based. Every return
made since Monday. from which there has
been omitted the income from rents, is
in the opinion of these attorneys, in full
compliance with the law
Another discrimination made by the
law is discovered. Attorneys say that
where wife has an income independent
from her husband which is less than
$1,000, it cannot be taxed and it need not
be included within his returns If it be
more than $4,000 it must be added to the
total of the husbands taxable income and
but one deduction of $4,000 made from the
gross sum.
1t is claimed that no return at all need
be made by persons whose incomes are
wholly derived from rents, regardless of
the amount.
President Cleveland has filled out his
income tax blank and will probably make
return, tomorrow. He included his salary
of $50, 900 as Chief Executive, on which
the tax will he $500, deciding to leave it
to the proper authorities to determine
whether the payment of the 2 per cent
assessment will be in violation of the pro
vision of the federal constitution which
says the compensation of the President
shall not be increased or diminished dur
ing the term for which he is elected
AS to the payment of the tax, Mr..
Cleveland has until July /, and as the
constitutional question affecting his
salary will undoubtedly have been passed
on before that time, the President will
wait for the disposition of the matter.

In the spring women need Paine's Gel
cry compound.
The average American woman, says a
well known writer wears herself out
twenty years before her time. She begins
the wearing out process as a child staying
up at night until the whole family re
tires and keeps it up as growing girl,
staying awake until ten or eleven o'clock,
when she should be asleep by nine; and as
a woman she has so many things to do
and to keep up with that she positively
hasn't minute to rest
BY and by her checks grow thin and
haggard; languor takes the place of her
old time high spirits; she has a generally
worn out air; her nerves are gnawcd by
pain, and slecplessncss makes fearful in
roads upon her health.
Her physician tells her simply that her
nervous system is exhausted, and that
help must come by feeding the brain and
entire nervous tract, richly rapidly, and
completely. 1t is the experience of the
most careful medical men in this country
that nothing proves so uniformly success
full as Paine's celery compound in eases Of
brain weariness nervous inability, fail
ure Of vital force, dyspepsia, slccplcss
ness, and for restoring health and vigor
to the brain and body when exhausted by
overwork or dissipation.
Every such weary, nervous, thin bloodcd
person should take Paino's celery com
pound 1t makes such people well.
Painc's celery compound improves the
general health by making new, rudy
blood and refreshing the nerves.
1t teammates the languid body, and
vitalizcs the important organs so that they
work in harmony with each other.

ALL TRUMPS.
And Mr.. Borden Knows; well
How to Play His Cards.
Fall River Print Goods Must Go Up
About Ten Per Cent.
And Other Mills Must Raise Wages Whether
Willing or Not.

Fall River, Mass April lo.-Tbe manu-
facturers are convinced that Mr.. Borde,
is proceeding on business principles an,
is not actuatcd by any motives which d,
not bear directly upon his own enterprises
The conclusion has been reached that h,
is about to cut loose from the Glow basis, )
which has been advocated ever since tn,
depression set in, and place the industr,
upon higher basis.
1t follows that if it costs 10 per cent
more to manufacture goods, the seller:
must get 10 per cent. more for them il
the market, and SO long as the demand
holds steady prices are bound to improve
Just now there is nothing to prevent tn,
factories from making contracts on fal
more satisfactory terms than were obtain
able As hours ago.
The American Printing Company anG
Fall River Iron Works Company combi
nation is managed more literally than the
average mill. 1t handles an immens,
quantity of goods that touch markets all
over the country. 1t generally proce eds or
a broad basis and aims to make dollars,
rather than to save cents.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Borden
foresaw that his help would not work
much longer at the cut rates, and made
up his mind that cut rates were not cal
culated to boom trade. He was aware
that if the other mills declined to follow
suit, he would then have the field to him
self, and factories here and elsewhere
would be forced to close their gates.
One broker says "If he means to proI
the market and keep it propped, he has
discovered way to do it, as well as a
way not to do it. He cannot accomplish
his purpose by buying freely and pulling
the mills out of the rut, but he can make
his competitors pay more for every yard
produced and prevent them from selling
down quotations.
Up to the closing of the market, to-
night, the Manufacturers Association
had taken no definite step looking toward
a voluntary advance to meet the condi
tiOns Mr.. Borden has made. The matter
was discussed at special meeting at the
Seaconnet mill, this afternoon, but no &C
ton was taken.
The members said after the meeting
that it is safe to predict that an advanc,
will be granted. The president of thu
local corporation says its advance is in
evitable, because of the absolute scarcity
of help under the present wage schedule
One leading manufacturer, tonight, i'm
piled that an advance may be given
without calling a meeting of the associa
ton.
Today, the Barnaby Bingham mil
weavcrs put in an application for a q
per cont. increase in wages, and the matte
is under consideration by the mill au
thorities.
An attempt was made, last night, t,
burn one of the tenement blocks owned b,
the Border City Mill. A boarder in tn,
house discovered well-developed blaz'
in the hall way, gave the alarm, and tn,
fire was extinguishcd without calling up
on the department.
Investigations showed that kerosene
had been used literally. This is tn,
second attempt to burn tenement build
ing in the same way within week.
