BRITISH WAR VESSEL FOR PORT.

He KEPT HIS WORD.
But a Rifle Was Waiting For the Rail-
road Promoter.

But q Rife Was Waiting For the Rail-
road Promoter.
A. B. Smith of the Burlington was talk
ing about railroads and railroad building,
and he told of the most malignant bit of
false pretense which any railroad advance
agent ever was guilty of. 1t was some
where in West Virginia, and the man
whose business it was to go across the
country and win the favor of the residents,
SO that they would vote bonds. struck an
intermountain region and found that that
particular county was practically domi-
mated by an old farmer away up the ridge.
The road wanted something like 500, 600
from the county, and the skirmishing
party appeared unto the man of the ridge
with request for his assistance. The old
fellow, whose name was Searles, was will
ing, on one condition, to help out. He
wanted the road to come near his own
place. Cushman, the agent, looked over
the situation and after a time promised.
1.-THE line" he said, twill run within
100 yards of your front gate. Is that near
enough?"
Searles said it was, and an agreement
was signed. Then Searles began an advo-
cacy of the bond proposition, and the con-

Outstanding.
Two years later Mr.. Smith happened to
be hunting in that county and he stopped
at Searles house. Their conversation turn
ed upon railroads, and the old man, point
ing to long rifle over the mantel, said:
"The next railroad man that comes into
these hills I'm going to shoot with that I"
Mr.. Smith, who had not yet disclosed
his identity or occupation, asked for the
reason. The mountaineer told of the
bonds.
"But, said Mr.. Smith, "if there was
an agreement, the bonds are invalid. :"
"No, they amt" the other responded
sadly. "He done it. He run it within the
prescribed distance. She's within them 100
yards.
"But don't see any railroad near here :"
"Nope. Ye can't. But she's here She
runs through this hill by tunnel, which
starts mile away. She's inside the named
distance, but being as I ain ground hog
or a rabbit I can't git direct access to her. I"

look upon as their benefactor and
friend.
j. H. Coggswell, Book and Job Printer,
3S State Street, Bridgeport. Conn, says:
My wife was a sufferer for years with
Rheumatism complicated with other dis
eases. She began taking Munyon's
Rheumatism, Cure after she had doctored
with several physicians without receiv-
ing any good results, and I am happy
to say that It cured her of all her rheu
matte pains"
Mrs. Mary White, of 1856 Pine Street,
burlington, VT, says: 81 have been
troubled for a long time with rheuma-
tism. and I have taken many different
medicines to relieve it. but in vain. The
parts most affected were my shoulders
and knees, and at times could hardly
go about the house to perform my
duties. I procured a bottle of Munyon's
Rheumatism Cure and began taking it
at once, and the pains vanished entirely.
I am convinced that the credit of the
cure belongs to Munyon's alone''

The Lewiston and Portland teams of
the State league meet for the first time
this season on the Deering grounds this
afternoon. AS Of yore the series between
Lewiston and Portland will be the most
interesting feature of the baseball season.
The game is called at three O. clock.
The nj aine League Schedule. VI
There was mistake in the published
schedule of the Maine league games for
the remainder of the week. The correct
schedule is as follows: ~
Thursday-Belfast at Bangor; Augusta
at Rockland; Lewiston at Portland.
Friday-Augusta at Portland Rockland
at Lewiston.
Saturday-Bangor at Belfast; Augusta
at Lewiston; Rockland at Portland
Accordingly there will be games on the
Deering grounds the remaining days of
this week.
Baseball Notes.
The Belfast club has suspended Pitcher
W. E. Dilworth and signed George Regain
of Haverhill. Regain was a member of the
crack Raverhill team of '94, and as a
fielder and hitter can hold his end up
with the best of them in minor league
company.
The Lewiston and Bangor game post.
poned this week will be played off in the
latter city Tuesday.
1.-THE Portland team will go to Lewiston
May 31st, and play the Lewiston team in
the forenoon and both teams will return
to Portland for the afternoon game. We
understand that the Maine Central will
give excursion rates, one fare.

The Salacia arrived from Bath yester-
day, having been thoroughly painted

so minutes. Capt. Oliver has gone to
Bath to takescharge of the gunboat New
port, which has her frs government trial

Millions of Cook Books Given Away
There is one large house in this
country that has taken business on its
turn and means to ride on the rising
tide. Alive to the signs OF better times

Information on the subject of cook
ing. Receipts for the preparation of
good. substantial and dainty dishes, pre-
pared especially for it by leading au-
thority, will be found in its pages.
Much care has been taken in its prepa-
ration and distribution, with the hope
that it will be just the thing needed for
housekeepers, and just the thing needed
also for the care Of the health and house
hold. As a Cookery Book it will be
to keep on hand for refer
ence.
1t also contains full information in
regard to the great remedr of this
house, which provide against bodily
ailments, especially the Master Cure
for Pains and Aches, st. Jacobs Oil.
To give some i:ea of the labor and
expense of this output, more than 200
tons of paper have been used IN its
publication, and at the rate of 100. 600

the issue.
