representing himself to be John p. Wolf,

purchase of lot of land where he pro-
posed to erect factory for making paint.
He said the firm of Wolf, Sidney & Co.

were to remove here, owing to the discovery
here by Sidney of a certain substance used
in making paint. He engaged number
of men to work for him, some leaving
other jobs. and the work of excavating
for the foundation on the lot secured be-
gan, this morning.
Wolf was to call at the agents office,

A Great Slayer.

AS competition increases it becomes
harder and harder for the business man
to succeed, and in recognition of this
fact, the public is often informed that
this or that thing has leone to stay" a
strong purpose Is good, hut doing the
thing is even better. One OF the greatest
stayers we know Of is Pain-Killer, the adj
vertisements Of which we are printing
elsewhere. This famous old family rene
dy has stayed in the homes of the country
So years, and is today more popular than
ever. This one fact proves its value, and
makes argument unnecessary. 1t only
remains for the proprietors las they are
now DOING to remind each coming gen.
Grafton that for over half century Pain
Killer has been recognized as the handiest,
surest and cheapest cure for the Common
ills Of humanity, and that bottle on
their shelf will sooner or later save them
trouble and suffering and money. dit

COLBY ATHLETES HAPPY.
The Fine New Cinder Track Will
Give Sports a Boom.
1t Is Finely Built and lust What the Col.
lese Boys Want.

Waterville, June 3.-(Spccial). 1.-THE
athletic interests of Colby University
have received a great boom by the
building of the new cinder track
which has been completed on the
north campus. The location of the
track on the campus, where it is of easy
access, is certainly great advantage for
all know the difficulty of getting men to
go far away from the college grounds to
practice. The track is most thoroughly
built in every detail, and for this, great
credit is due to Contractor S. Ferguson
and Prof Fl. c. jackson.
Mr.. Ferguson took the contract to make
excavations and Filings and his Judgment,
from long experience in railroad and other
grading. was everywhere sought and re-
ceived consideration. In the whole work
he has shown himself faithful and pains
taking man and his Judgment of the re-
quirements of underdrains, enbankment
walls etc, has been fully appreciated by
the members Of the faculty who had the
construction of the track in charge From
start to finish he watched every feature of
the work as closely as the most interested
man in the association.
Prof. Jackson has also been busy man
during the work. and these two men,
working with harmony of ideas, have
produced an athletic track, the equal of
which cannot be found this side of Bos-
ton, and of which the college and students
justly feel proud.
Only one objection to the track has ever
been raised 1t is built after the English
design, that is, of running to the right. or
with the sum- while the American track
is made to run in the opposite way. A
few have raised an objection to the new
track on this account, but the majority do
not look on it as serious matter
AS a matter of fact, this was the only
form in which the track could be surveyed
on the plot of the campus given up for it,
and the engineer was obliged to ''cut the
garment according to the cloth" There
was not room to build it according to the
American plan and have the straight
away on the side next the grand stand,
no matter how much it was so desired.
The present form of the track, however,
is not considered a serious objection, since
some of the largest institutions in this
country have built tracks after the Eng
fish form and seems only a question of
lime when all will adopt it and in that
event Colby athletics will have te advan-
tage of practice on track turning to the
right which develop a certain set of mus
Giles, while those who practice on one turn
ing to the left will appear at the tourna-
ments here at disadvantage.
