The v-lLssT MAN IN MAINE.
w. II. Kelley Measures STA feet Ten and
Is Proud Of IT.


The tallest man in the state of Maine
rides bicycle. He's also general repairer
of bicycles for the village of Phillips.
These two facts may not especially belong
together, but they Immediately answer q
vague question that arises In the mind Of
the reader. II the bicycle gets discouraged
ut any time, Names champion tall wheel
man can do his own doctoring.
Mr.. w ii. Kelley OF Phillips Is a modest
man. Although he has many accomplish
ments, and, In his character of head sur
geon of the village repair shop, can mend
anything from watch 10 a jigger wagon,
ne doesn't boast OF his requirements. But
as to his height he feels that he can safely
lay claim to being the champion giant of
Maine. Many tall men have come and
seen and braced shoulders and chalked
with him on his shop door until the
scratches OF the intertangled lines look
like spider web. But loftily above them
all Is the scratch mark Of the towering
man of the house.
He never yet has had to look up TO gaze
into the eyes OF man standing on his
level except once, when the circus brought
giant to town The giant heard that
there was a citizen outside who was taller
than he, SO, by his request, Mr. Kelley was
passed in The circus giant stood on the
vantage ground Of an ascending slope he
wore bearskin cap, high heeled shoes and
had his shoulders padded deliberately. But
even under the disguise the bystanders
could see that he was not fair match for
the local giant, had he stripped of his
plumage and "come down off his perch"
on the embankment.
Mr.. Kelley, dressed for the street meas
ures from the ground To the top Of his
head feet 10 inches, as near z feet as any
man In Maine has ever grown. He is
symmetrical, too, weighing considerably
over goo pounds, yet without any superfiu-
Gus flesh.
Mr.. Kelley Is q muscular man, and some
feats of strength that no has performed
surprised even his townsmen. At a lifting
match not long ago the weight was a stone
post weighing 225 pounds. Several alleged
strong men tackled 1t and wriggled 1t
along few feet at hitch. Mr.. Kelley
grasped the iron link affixed TO the post
and walked nearly 200 feet with the
weight, finally tossing 1t considerable
distance. II could have carried 1t far
ther, said he, "but l thought twas far

From the Free Press, Harrisonburg,
Va.
Yes said Mr.. ". R. Bowman, of
Harrisonburg, Va, in conversation
with a reporter, about two years ago
| was so run down in health that l was
compelled TO resign a government pO-
sition at Washington. l had no appe-
tite, severe pains in the back, and was
threatened with malaria.
After returning home l purchased
a box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and the result was like
magic. Really, I was astonished at the
great improvement in my health, and
after taking some four or FIVE boxes,
l felt entirely cured. My normal ap-
petite returned, and was relieved of the
pain in my back, and the malarial
SYMPTOMS had wholly disappeared.
That was, as l said, about two years
ago, and to-day l am a we'll man.
4 recommended the pills TO some of
my friends, who were great sufferers,
and they also used the medicine with
great benefit"
You consider the pills very great
medicine, then, Mr.. Bowman we
queried.
Il do, indeed; l consider them a
blessing to suffering humanity, and
nothing is too good to say for them"
The foregoing is but one Of the many
cures that have been reported as fol-
lowing the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Diseases which have heretofore
been supposed to be incurable, have
succumbed to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most trihing ailments.
In many cases the reported cures have
been so remarkable that leading news
papers have gone to work and investi-
gated them. The only result, however,
has been to find every detail of the
cases correctly reported. Sold by Hol-
lister Drug Co, Hebron Drug Co,

Injuries
From reports received from passen-
gers this voyage of the Monowai was
an eventful one. When a little more
than two days out from San Francisco
the vessel encountered heavy weather
and ran into strong head seas. For Sc
hours she was run under half speed
and during that time sustained al
most serious damage.
The vessel was loaded 81 inches deep
er at the bow than in the stern, and
when a wave would strike her the
water dashed over the deck, flooding
the cabins. The Captain was i'll in his
room, and at times was almost COM
pletely submerged. Two women were
so frightened as to become hysterical.
There was a deck load of lumber and
three enormous boilers for the Colon
les. A portion of the lumber was
washed overheard, and one of the boil
ers broke loose and was afterwards
washed overheard. The officers stat
ed afterward that another sea like the
one which caused the damage, would
have sent the vessel to the bottom.
The injury sustained consists of the
breaking in of the Captains stateroom
and demolition of the starbOard bull
warks.

Now, evidently considering that the
moral effect of severe punishment has

BULKELEY OF CONNECTICUT.

The second place on the Republican

Kfnley is conceded to the east. For a
long time the country turned to Thomas
B. Reed as a suitable running mate TO
the great champion of American pro-
lection This cannot be, as Mr.. Reed
has already intimated through his
friends, that he does not care for the
second place. In this dilemma, the
Republican leaders have been casting
about for suitable candidate for vice
president Such a man, quite an ideal
candidate, has been found, in the per-
son of Governor Morgan G. Buckley,
of Connecticut. For many years Gov
ernor Buckley has stood at the very
front Of New England Republicanism,
his time, his energy and his purse have
ever been ready TO serve the great
party, which today contains the brains
of the American nation. A financier
of great ability, a business man OF
splendid strength, man of indomit-
able Will, whose courage has never
been questioned, statesman of most
practicable mind, large of heart, kind of
hand, and right and ripe upon the
great questions of the hour, Morgan G..
Buckley Of Connecticut, whose ma
terial interests he has always fOstered
and Of whose conservative business he
is fitting representative, would be
tower of strength to the Republican
ticket, not only all over the east and
throughout New England, where he is
known and respected by all parties, |
but in the west where he has had bus |
mess relations with the best business |
men of all parties. Governor Buckley |
is man of remarkable ability and |
rare force Of character. Connecticut |
has always been loyal, and no man |
within her borders has been more loyal |
than Morgan G.. Buckley. For many
years he has been at the head of one |
Of the great life insurance companies |
Of the east, controlling large invest

lasting friendship. Mckinley and
