MAINE MINISTER'S.
They VIII Hold Convention in Auburn
Next Wedn esday.

The Maine Ministers Association
which will hold its fifth meeting on
Wednesday. September 16, in the High
street Congregational church, Auburn.
meets three times year. 1t was organ
lied in May, 1895, in Augusta. Rev. J.
W. Williamson of Augusta was its first
president. The policy is to have most OF
the executive officers resident of one com.
munity and have the meetings for a
year in that community. This year
Professor Anthony of Lewiston ia presi-
dent, and Rev. Messrs. Staokpole, Pat
ton and Rose of Auburn are members OF
the executive committee. The May meet
ing of this year was in the Elm street
Universalist church, Auburn.
The organization began as an express
sion of the desire among ministers,
whatever their denominational oonnec-
ton, to know each other better and to
have an opportunity to discuss these
problems in theology and sociology
which arc common to them all. Where
they differed, they would be willing to
differ, and differ in good spirit. Every
minister in the state is eligible to mem
bership.
The railroads of the state treat the as
ISOLATION very generously. Round trip
tickets for one fair are sold for the meet
ing by the Maine Central, the Grand
Trunk, the Bangor ard Aroostook, the
Portland and Rumford Falls, the Somer-
set, the Sandy River, and the Franklin
and Megantic railroads. A large attend
ance is expected.

running down the horse, the heavy
wagon was run into the curb. Knowles

Restore again the policy of the

balance of trade in our favor and the
effect will be, as it always hai been
heretofore, to stop the outflow Of gold
from u shores and bring to us in
stead the yellow metal sufficient to
make good the balance of trade In
our favor. The real seat of the
present trouble is largely if not Who'll

Insisted upon by the opposition in

Yes, and 1t will soon be discover
ed, when the policy of the Republi.
can party has been restored and the
balance of trade turned in our favor,
that the hue and cry about silver
being a fifty cent dollar will have no
foundation left to stand upon. When
you are continually buying from a
gold standard courtry more goods
Than you sell 10 them there is but
one result, they demand your gold
and d~epreciate your silver. There
is only one cure for it-tax the for

This is from the Boonville Adver-
tiser:
"The Sedalia Capital has develop
ed penchant for poking about
among the old newspaper files in
order to find some articles from the
State press favoring the removal Of
the State Capital to that city. 1t is
difficult to see how such a search
can be of any benefit either to the
Capital or to Sedalia. The State
press generally is opposed to the
present removal scheme, whose pro-
moters must be in narrow straits, in
deed, when they resort to the old

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for
alarm. Nothing so worries a phys,
ician. Consump,ives would never
die If they could regain their usual
weight. In fact there would he no
consumption if there were no wast~
ing Of the system. The cause of
this loss Of flesh is q failure to prop.
erly digest the food eaten. Nine
tenths Of all our diseases date back
to some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop the wasting of the body. 1t

I've digested so AS to do good, for un-
digesied food does more harm than
good. The cordial contains food
