Not a
Mooted
Question.

Some people advertise all work salts,
factory or no pay, When we advocate a
thing we know to be successful we are
not compelled to raise doubt as to our
sincerity by telling what we will do if we
can. For twenty years we have done the
Painting and Carriage Repairing for the
people of Skowhegan and surrounding
towns, and our ever increasing trade at
tests to the popularity of our work.
So it is not a mooted question where
you shall take your Carriages to have
them Repaired or Painted.
We have nice, clean, well ventilated
rooms, that will hold over one hundred
Carriages, that we want to fill up this
winter, so we can paint them and have
them ready for our customers IN the
spring.

Frightened Away.

About 10 O'Clock last evening Mr.. n !
J. Sinnott was alarmed by the ringing
of bell in the Umatilla House, which
is connected by wire to the door of the
vault below the first floor. He inquired
of Fen Batty if anyone connected with
the house was below, and, receiving a
negative reply, went down himself. He
found the lock broken off the door, and
marks where lever had been used. He
also noticed the lever, an iron bar about
Is inches in length, which had been
abandoned by the would-be burglars.
These were frightened by the unex-
pected ringing of the bell and got
away before they could be apprehended/
They were after what pTundgr they
could find, as they could not naturally
have expected to find anything more
valuable than cigars or liquors.
