that they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment They are
slowly being starved. They are poisoned
by the products OF fermented and putrid
food.

STATE HOUSE.
Maine State Grange Now Includes
About 20, 900 Persons.
Senator -Wiggin Proposes to Bring Up the
School Tax Bill.

Hon. Edward Wiggin, master of
Maine oranges. received two charters,
Thursday, from the National Grange
headquarters at Washington, d. c.
One of the charters was for Indian
River Grange, No $50, in the town of
Addison. Washington county; the other
for Abbott Grange. No 329, at Abbott
Piscataquis county.
They are signed by j. H. Brigham.
the national master, and John Trmble
the secretary.
Mr.. Wiggin says the number of
oranges. is continually on the healthy
increase. and that oranges are being
organized where there is enough to call
for meetings. There must be lG mem
bers, in order to receive q charter Ap-
ter, who communicates with the ma
tional headquarters at Washington, d.
c.
There are now 240 oranges in Maine.
Mr.. Wiggin says that indications point
to total number of 10000 people as
members, an increase of about 1000
over a year ago.
Mr.. Wiggin is Il worthy master and
is always Interested in its welfare in

troduce at the next Legislature his
school-taX bill, which has twice passed
| the House. He says that it is the pur-
pose of its supporters to have the
State in time to pay all of the school
tax. The last move was to have the
| mill tax increased to IL, mills, which,
of course, would mean a reduction in
the population tax a corresponding
amount. 1t would bring it down from
! so cents to something like 45 of SO
cents.
Mr. Wiggin says the Legislature is
empowered to require Of towns and
cities enough for the maintenance of
schools. 1t was claimed that it was
| unconstitutional to raise the tax from
a mill to ~ mills. He claims that if
it were constitutional to make the mill
tax at all, which is admitted, it is
equally so to make it more.
The expense of schools from 1895
was as follows. a total of 81 .6G9 396:

Morning.
Mr.. Lewis Nixon of the Crescent ship
building works of Elizabeth, n. j., was at
the Navy Department today and notified
the authorities that he would launch the
Annapolis next Wednesday morning at
$50 O'Clock. The Annapolis is one of the
new light draft gunboats which the depart
mept has ordered to be fitted up as a train
ing ship to take the place of the little
Bancroft as a summer cruising vessel for
the Annapolis cadets.
Mr.. Nixon told Star reporter that he is
making rapid progress in the construction
of the submarine boat, the ownership of
which is a mystery. He frankly says he
does not know whether the boat is intend
ed for use in the Cuban war. and, In fact,
does not know who will own the boat. All
that he knows is that he receives his
money promptly, and that the boat will
soon be ready for service. She is some
what similar to the Holland boat building
at Baltimore for our navy, but embodieS
some radical improvements that will with
out doubt make her much more efficient.
One Of these features Is the substitution
of gasoline motors as the propelling power
while above water instead of steam en-
gines These motors also charge sec
ondary storage batteries which will fur
nish electricity to propel the queer craft
while she is under water.

MINISTER CoOPER's MISSION.
He Came to Urge Hawaiian Annexa.
neNatfOn.


neNatfOn.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, December 16-The Sc
cret Of Minister Cooper's mission to the
United States is out. Mr.. Cooper is the Ha-
waiian minister of foreign affairs. He
formerly lived in San Diego and was a
prominent member of the bar. He Is here
today and is quoted as saying that he came
to the United States to urge annexation,
owing to the fears that the Hawaiian gov
ern nent has of Japan.
The situation In Hawaii according to
Judge Cooper. is that the japanese far out
number all other foreigners The Amer-
cans are handful in comparison. Hawaii
has a treaty with Japan and cannot ex-
clude the Japanese, who are pouring into
the island steadily and pushing into every
business. They are losing the humble de-
meanor that characteriZes their country
mea on this coast, and through their great
numbers and the prestige of the Japanese
Chinese war are beginning to chafe for the
elective franchise. If they force Hawaii to
gi-e them the right to vote. then American
asceEdancy will be at end forever.
Judge Cooper has laid the situation before
influential men in the east and has so won
upon their judgment that he believes that
great strides will be made during the next
year toward annexation under the McKin-
ley administration.
