SOMERSET PICK-UPS.

postmaster at North Madison vice
Cephas W. Jackman.
Ripley is making a move for
creamery. A meeting was held last
week when it was decided that a
creamery should be built and operated
! by c. C. Nichols of Foxcroft.
The meeting of the stockholders of
the Fairfield Textile Mill Co, held Sat
urday afternoon was satisfactory to all
concerned. Sampson and Williams have
paid the three months rent due and the
mill will be set running in the early
spring,
Fire broke out in a double tenement
house at Madison, occupied by w. k.
Spaulding and George Fillebrown, at
730 p. NJ, Wednesday. Most of the
household goods were saved in damag-
ed condition. The building was com
pletely Quilted. The cause of the fire
was spontaneous combustion.
One of the great hunting feats of the
year was that of George f. Farnham. Of
Canaan, who a few days ago, entirely
alone, and while standing in his wagon,
holding his frantic horse with one hand,
shot two very handsome deer. 1t was a
feat that not many hunters will duplicate
this season or any other.
L. G.. Green of Waterville, at work for
Bushey & Son on contract job at Hart
land, lost three fingers of his right hand,
Thursday, while attempting to warm
dynamite cartridge that contained a
shell. Green had built fire, and was
holding the cartridge in his hand when
it exploded, so badly shattering three
fingers that it was found necessary to
amputate them. He was taken to his
home in Waterville, where the operation
was performed.
At present there are over 100 Italians
working on the extension of the Sebasti-
cook & Moosehead railroad, from Hart
land to Harmony. Work in Northwest
cove is likely to be pushed all winter,
although only deep cuts can now be
worked to advantage, owing to the depth
of the frost. From appearances now,
the road will be completed to Harmony
by June 20, according to contract.
Wellington is now on the anxious seat,
fearing that the road may go to Cam
bridge instead of that place.
w. j. Bradbury, the Fairfield clothier,
has assigned for the benefit of his
creditors. The assignment was made to
Hon. G. f. johnson of Waterville, and it
is stated that the liabilities of Mr..
Bradbury will reach the sum of $4,000
with assets amounting to some 5000.
The cause of the assignment is owing to
the poor business of the past few
months, Mr. Bradbury carrying an UNI
usually large stock. Mr.. Bradbury is an
old business man on the street and it is
hoped that his present embarrassment
will only be temporary.
An interview with William Clark of
CarratunK III regard 10 bne luInDeT cut
on the Kennebec this season is publish
ed in the Kennebec journal as follows:
81 think that at the beginning of the
seasons operations the intention was to
cut at least l00,OO0,O00 of logs on the
Kennebec, but the way the snow has
held oil will reduce the cut about 20 per
cent. If we can have good suantity of
snow from now out we could make time
hauling from the yards. Much depends
upon the month of March. If it should
remain cold weather through that month
we could land large amount of lumber
that now looks as though it would lay
on the yards

The man who eats because he is hun
gry is, thus far, on level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased is the
wise man. Nature needs no more food
than she calls for. Continued excess
brings indigestion Or dyspepsia or loss OF
flesh, strength, sleep, ambition and
mental power; and an accumulation OF
aches, pains and many dangerous Local
maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some artifi-
cially digested food which can also
digest other foods. That is to say, we
must use the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
The effect is prompt and cheering. The
chronic pain and distress ceases. Ape
tite presently revives. Flesh and vigor
gradually come back, and the sufferer

F. J. Tracy of Stacyville, had an inter.
esting and rather exciting experience a
short time ago while in the woods on an
exploring trip. He made his camp by
the side of small pond about - acres
in extent, which abounds in trout and is
a gathering place for big game. He was
standing near this pond when he saw at
one time fourteen deer, three moose and
| four black ducks, all within easy rifle
shot Such sight as that is seldom
seem even in the wides of northern
Maine. One of the moose, bull after
little time made a charge at the deer,
scattering them in all directions, but the
cow and calf were in no hurry and wan
dered leisurely off among the bushes to

Returned from Germany.

Jacob Zuckmayer returned last Tues
day after five months visit at his
old home, Mainz on the Rhine, where
he found that he had far greater re-
lationship than when he left there
some forty years ago. He visited
Frankfort, Heidelberg, Berlin, Gruhn-
stadt and many other cities, and last
but not least Hamburg, where he en-
joyed a visit with his old friend
Schultz, formerly with Boys & Will
son in Decorah, who, by the way,
says he is coming back to Decorah, to
live here. In company with Schultz,
Mr.. Zuckmayer visited Fredricksruhe,
the home of Furst Bismarck, about
three miles distant from the home of
Mr.. Schultz, and he had the pleasure
of an introduction to the eX-Iron Chan
cellor as one of the fighters for liberty
in lS4S-49. On his return trip business
took him to Edinberg, Scotland. He
sailed from the u. $. on the Furst Bis
marck and after seven days landed in
Hamburg, returning on the Normania
to South Hampton, and from there on
the Patriarch nine days to the L. :.

THE WINDMILL OF THE PAST.

The date when windmills were first
erected is unknown, but they were certainly
used in Europe in the 18th century. Of late
they have generally been replaced by steam
engines in Great Britain; but they are still
extensively employed in Holland in drain
ing the polders Qow lands) and grinding
trass Ia volcanic production). In spite of
the competition of more powerful and tract
able motors, windmills may often be used
with success and economy, especially in new
countries where fuel is scarce, and for work
which can be done internationally. A wind
mill is not a very powerful motor, and in its
employment its power is variable and inter-
mittent. In good situations it will generally
work for eight hours out of the twenty-four
on an average. They are employed for
drainage purposes in Holland and Norway,
and for mining purposes in new countries.

Not Pat.iotic.

New York, Feb ga Sun special
is talking about a scene at a Wash
ington birthday banquet in one OF the
swell clubs recently. Among the
guests was Dr. Hill. President of the
Rochester University DR.. Hill de
livered an address, in which he lauded
the character Of Washington md eX-
tolled the Monroe Doctrine. The
speech was interrupted by whistle in
the mouth OF a prominent member Of
the bar and at its close a member Of
the club rose in his chair and said in
reference to DR.. Hills remarks
THAT is talking to the galleries and
is blackguardism.'
DO I understand the gentleman to
say that [ am blackguard?' asked
Dr. Hill.
What I say is that is talking t h.
galleries and is blackguariism, It-
| piled the clubman.
IF that is talking to the galleries,
then | belong in the galleries. irt-t-
| p sed anO- O-her member Of tie club,
and the incident closed for th" tine
being.
A little later the lawyer with the
whistle arn-e and made Il speech. He
denounced the Monroe Doctrine as a
myth, unworthy of consideration. III
his estimation the sO-called Father of
His Country was greatly over-esti-
mated and the country would have
been much better off without him.
The only excuse for the occurrence
which has yet been advanced is thai
sufficient time had not been allowed
to ell pse between drinks.
