The revenues at the Portland custom

foreign coal was 600 tons and since
then this order has been duplicated. AS
the United tates gets duty. of 40 cents

SICK POISON.
WHATF IT Is, AND WHERE IT COM Es
FROM.

Sick-poison is what makes you sick, irri-
tates your nerves, disorders your functions,
saps your strength, makes you miserable.
Different diseases have different poisons,
some have several, indigestion more than
any.
That is, the symptoms of indigestion are
caused by the poisons which are created by
undigested food.
When you are sick, try to get rid of your
poison.
1t is often easier than you think, for all
nature is helping you. Only the poison is
obstinate, but the rst.step is to go to the
root of it.
The poisons of undigested food, which
cause lethargy, headache, dizziness, weak
ness, bad taste, stomach ache, fever, fiatu-
lence, nausea, constipation, loss of appetite,
aundiee, a naemia, neuralgia, Rheumatism.
etc., these poisons can be swept away and
annihiIated by the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial.
Curing the stomach and helping it to
digest food, when it is too weak TO GO So
by ITSELF will purify your system OF poison
and renew your strength and health.

The Lebanon Fire Bug.

Semersworth, July--The authorities of
Lebanon, Me-. are OF thesopln1on4 that the
irebng who has set numerous fires IN
that locality this season, causing many
thousands of dollars loss. is now safely
housed in Alfred jail to await trial at
the September term of York county court
1T Alfred. During the month of April
there was O. succession OF forest tires and
On investigation the residents surmised
that they were not accidental but the
deliberate work OF. some maniac or hend
who gIeated and revslled IN the havoc
which he caused 1t was allegedsby some
that "a young man named Frank Hall was
the inoendiary and accounts of seeing
him apply the torch were quite numer-
Gus. The fact that he never assisted the
other residents in extinguishing the fires
eonvinoeds many that the stories about
him were trus. notwithstanding all
these reports he was allowed TO remain
at large, without being brought to ac-
count and it was said that those who
saw him commit the deed were afraid to
have him arrested least justice should
miscarry and he should seek revenge on
their persons and property. Last week
the climax came when J.. Fred Lord Of
Lebanon swore out warrant charging
him with setting fire to the property of
Harry Soates on April / of last year.
The warrant was placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Hall and that official ar
rested him and brought him before Trial
Justice Spencer Of Berwick. He pleaded
not guilty and the testimony of several
Lebanon persons WAS offered to prove
that he was guilty of the charge. Justice
Spencer decided that the evidence was
sufficient to hold and as the crime
charged is one that he did not have juris-
diotion over, he ordered him to furnish
500 bonds for appearance at the Febru-
aTy term of supreme court. He was I'M
able to secure the necessary bonds and
was lodged in Alfred jail. The mini
mum penalty for the crime of which he
is charged is two years in state prison
and the maximum five years.
