A Prominent western newspaper re-
commends flax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberland's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when the remedy is given.

SUPERIOR COURT.

Friday-The people who assembled
in the Superiot courtto hear the
trial of DR.. Rudolph S. Dodge
for abortion were disappointed. At the
opening of court DR.. Dodge appeared
with his counsel, Carroll W. Morrill,, and
after some consultation it was announced
that there would be no trial, that the
doctor would file demurrer. A demur-
rer admits all the facts stated in the in
ent in law to constitute the crime
charged. If the law court decides that
the Indictment is insufficient in form
or substance Of course the respondent is
discharged, but if it is held to be good
the doctor can have no trial because by
his demurrer he admits all the facts
properly set out in the Indictment, and
he must take his sentence. DIR. Dodge
gave bail in the sum of $1,000 for his ap-
pearance at the next term after decision
is given by the law court.

Robinson, alias George Robbins. and

ed at this term for breaking and entering

Vile L. Millett and William I'll. Goo bridge
at the Cape, pleaded guilty to all the
counts in the indictmnets. This win in
sure a somewhat lengthy residence at
Thomaston and the Oxford county offic-
ials will not need to bother themselves
| further about them.
Timothy Brown pleaded guilty to
nuisance Indictment.
John P. Cook withdrew his plea of not
guilty to q nuisance Indictment and fled
a demurrer.
John Whitney was put on trial on an

and entering the house of Elizabeth Hoyt
| in Bridgton on the oath of March last and
stealing jack-knife. A. boy by the nam G
of Edwin Douglas testified that he saw
| Whitney getting out of the window. The
house was unoccupied at the time. A
bundle containing several bottles of elder
berry wine was on the table ready to be

Whitney denied that he was ever in the
house or nearer to it than to pass the
street; that the boy must have mistaken
him for someone else.
Verdict not guilty.

JAMES LOWELL WANTS PARDON.
Was Convicted of Numbering His wife
More Than a Quarter of Century Ago.

Augusta, May IA The hearing of the
petition for the pardon Of James M. Low
ell, now serving a life sentence for killing
his wife in 1870, was held today before
Governor Powers and Council. Hon.
Seth M. Carter of Lewiston and Hon. j.
E. Moore of Thomaston appeared for
Lowell The pardon is asked for on the
ground that the killing was accidental.
Many letters were present recommending
clemency. Decision was reserved.
Whatever may be the final decision,
there is reason to believe that a thorough
investigation will be made of the case by
the Governor and Council inside of a
few months.
~ AT the hearing this morning Mr.. Car
oer made an urgent plea that the prisoner
at the maximum should have received no
more than Is years, the sentence for man
slaughter, on the ground that even if
Lowell had killed his wife, there was
good reason to believe that he had not
premed1tated the fact, from attendant
circumstances in addition to Lowell's
own testimony.
Inc counsel for the petitioner urges that
Lowell would have told the story at the
trial which he affirms, today, had not
his counsel at that time fought the case
solely in defense of the allegations of the
state prosecution at that time, which
was that, if the remains found in the
woods could be identified as Mrs. Low
ellis, the circumstantial evidence was not
enough to convict Lowell.
The case is rousing much inter est, re
yiving as it does one of the most remark
able trials ever held in Maine.

Gould Inheritance Tax.

New York, May 14-The action brought
to fix the inheritance tax on the estate of
Jay Gould was argued on appeal before
the appellate division of the supreme court
today. The estate was appraised by
David Mcclure at sS1 600, 0a0 gross, and
S73, 100000 net value, and he fixed the
decision both the state and the heirs ap-
pealed. The chief ground for the states
appeal was that Mr.. Mcclure allowed
a claim of s5,0O000D for services rendered
by George Gould to his father, to count
as debt against the estate, and to reduce
its net value by that amount. Had this
claim not been allowed as a valid debt the
tax would have been $50, 900 more The
chief point ON which the heirs based their
appeal was that the securities which con-
stituted the bulk of the estate were
wrongfully appraised. The decision was
reserved.

What tbs standish Water Company Offers
To Do-Many Orders of Importance
Introduced and Passed--A Busy ses-
sion.

SIOU.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Deerlng City Council was held last eve
ming, all of it's members being in attend
| ance. Half an hour was passed in listen
ing to the interesting records of the four
meetings in the month of April as they
were read by City Clerk L. F. Jones.
| The Mayor read communication from
Elmer f. Woodbury. of the Portland Base
ball association thanking the council for
concessions granted the association and
offering to send the members of the city
council complimentary passes and re-
questing a change in the methods of pay
ing the license. The change was allowed
and the communication was ordered
placed on file.
A communication was read by the
mayor from Treasurer George P. Wescott
of the Standish Water company offering
to meet the committees on fire and water
in relation to extending the hydrant sys-
tenn if the council would give some idea
of what the City of Deering wants.
The mayor appointed Alpheus S.
Leighton and Parker Shattuch special
policemen without pay and the nominal
tions were confirmed by the council.
The following were elected as city fence
viewers: George Russell, B. F. Libby
and L. B. Chapman.
Mayor Davis then called to the chair
the president of the council Alderma n
Aver, and taking the floor proceeded to
read a communication to the board Of
aldermen. The message stated that be-
fore the council should proceed to con.
slider the appropriation bill he believed it
wise to call the attention of the board to
a few facts and figures. The mayor said
that he had been informed by the city
assessors that the total valuation of the
city of Deering at April 1st, 1887, as near
as it could be ascertained was 81, $50, 600,
an increase of $247 900 over last year. The
mayor believed that the appropria lions
should be made so that the poll tax could
be placed at 81 and the tax rate at II
mills. He believed that this reduction OF
81 in the poll tax would be great in
ducement for people to move out to Deer
ing to live and would be of material bene-
fit to the city He thought that an ap-
preparation Of SIG, 200 for this year would
be sufficient and he expressed a wish that
the aldermen would consider this amount
O. large enough sum to run the city during
the city during the ensuing year.
The report of the committee on appro
priatiOns was presented and was accepted
and ordered placed on file. The approprf
ations recommended were as follows, with
the tax rate and poll tax fixed according
tn tha 1navOr'S Recommendations.
