CAUSED A SENSATION.
How a Liquor License Was Not
Granted for Vernon Center.

Vernon Center has never had a
saloon, and the good people of that
quiet and orderly village are opposed
to granting a license for one. On
Wednesday. while Commissioner Han
nay was looking after some business
in the city, the other county commits
sioners thought to have little amuse-
ment at his expense, and drew up the
form of an application for license
under fictitious name,and endorsed
it as granted. Mr.. Hannay, on his re.
turn, took the joke good naturally:
but the report of the granting of the
license got out on the street as fact,
and it was not very long
before his Vernon constituents heard
of it. A good deal of sensation was
caused and Mr.. Hannay was promptly
called up by telephone from Amboy
and asked to explain why he had per.
mitted the license to be granted
When the matter was explained, the
Vernon people appeared to be satisfied
and no doubt Mr.. Hannay's return
home will be as cordially welcomed as
in the past.

Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the con-
traction of disease provided the sys-
tenn is in a-vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such con-
dition contagion is readily resisted
and the disease germs can find no
Judgement. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the best medicine to build up the
system because it makes pure, rich
blood, and pure blood is the basis of
good health. In cold weather it is
especially necessary to keep up the
health tone because the body is SUBJ
ject to greater exposure and more liza
BILE to disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the safeguard of health.

TELEPHONE nOvES.
Work on the North Central r1ay
Begin Soon.

The Blue Earth Valley and the
North Central Telephone companies
are negotiating for the early construc-
tion of a local exchange in this city,
and if one does not construct it very
soon the other probably will. Presi-
dent Haight, of Winnebago City,
and Director Cross, of Amboy, of the
Blue Earth company, are in the city
on this business. Within thirty or
sixty days local exchange will most
likely be in operation, and if the
North Central builds it it will pur-
chase the Blue Earth company's
wire from the city limits, and the
two companies will have one office
and operator, and the patrons of one
can patronize the other.

Deputy Marshal Morgan visited all
the places in Biddeford, Wednesday,
where nickel-in-the-slot machines have
been in use and ordered their imme-
diate discontinuance. The order was
issued by City Marshal Harmon. TO
whom a complaint was made by Her
bert Warren, an eXpressman. Warren
went into Henderson & Coles cigar
store, Saturday night, and played one
of the machines. He claimed that the
showing CT cards resulting from his
operation of the lever entitled him to a
cigar, but one OF the proprietors who
had watched the operation disputed
Warren's claim and refused to give him
a cigar. Warren, Wednesday, filed his
complaint with the marshal. who sum-
moned Mr.. Cole in the office. There
Messrs. Cole and Warren continued
their controversy, but were unable to
, come to any agreement, and the mar
shall ordered Mr.. Cole to take the ma
chine out of the store. Mr.. Cole said If
he was obliged to take out his machine
all other store keepers would have to
follow suit, whereupon the marshal de-
clared that he would see to it that all
such machines were ordered out. The
carry out of this threat occasioned a
great deal of grumbling on the part Of
some of the merchants, but the ma
chimes all had to go.

A BIG FIRE.
Saw Mill Of L. S. Lyon Burned il
Manchester.
Loss Between $4,000 and $4,000; Insured
for SI7OO-Not to Be Rebuilt.

The fire which was seen from the city
early Thursday morning in the direc-
ton of COMBS Mills, proved to be a
disastrous one, completely destroying
the saw mill of L. S. Lyon, in Man
chester, located on the Brook road just
across the Augusta line.
1t was an unfortunate fire for Mr..
Lyon. The loss is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000, and is insured for $500
in Downing's agency of this city. The
building destroyed was worth $1,000; the
machinery, $500, and the balance of
the loss is in the stock, which included
a large amount of cut lumber and also
some stock, not sawed.
The mill has capacity Of 1000 feet
an hour or about 10000 day, land eight
men were employed on it.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated in the boiler house, whence it
made its way to the main part of the
mill. At shortly after midnight,
Wednesday, flames were seen from Mr..
Pinkham's house nearby, where most
of the men make their homes, and at
tention was at once directed by the
men available toward saving the store
house, which stands but a short dis
lance away from the mill, directly to
leeward Flames and flying pieces of
board were making in that direction in
a most alarming fashion. The small
company formed themselves into a
brigade and passing buckets to one an
other managed to keep the roof wet,
thus keeping the flames from catch
ing hold. That it was saved is Won
der, and only hard work did it.
The mill was burned to the ground,
and is a complete loss.
The bright light of the burning build
ing and pine timber was seen for many
miles. The flames We're reflected on
the dark sky and heavy atmosphere
and looked like a whole town burning
up.
Mr.. Lyon has reason enough to feel
that he is in hard luck, for, his old
mill, on this same site, was burned
two years this coming June. The
cause, that time, he says, was from
defective smoke-stack.
Mr.. Lyon says that he will under NJ
conditions build where the mill now
stands, and very much doubts If he Will
rebuilt anywhere. His many friends
sympathize with him in his hard luck
