NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT is ONLY A QUESTION OF
EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should eat
proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is that they
suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food, They don't get
enough nourshment. They are slowly being
starved. They are poisoned by the products OF
iermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, natural
vegetable digestive, alta cks the food in you
stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns
it into healthful nourishment. 1t helps your
stomach naturally. 1t makes thin dyspeptics
fat. 1t makes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones
up and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, because nothing else goes so
ma turally about it,
This is why 1t has been so successful in reliev-
ing nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, bad
TASTE fever, f1atulence, constipation loss of
appetite, headache, neuralgia, rheumatism, ETC.,
by curing the disorder which causes the symp-
toms.
few doses will prove its value, but you
won't get fat on one bottle.

FROM ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND.
The Damage Done By Floods Amounted
to Many Thousands.

to Many Thousands.
Boston, June 10.-New England was
visited by storm last night which, from
the amount of damage done, was one of
the worst in many years. The average
amount of rain for New England was
barely L 1-2 inches.
The railroads. suffered most severely.
particularly the Boston and Maine, and
its branches in New Hampshire. Wre cks
occurred at Exeter and Seabrook, while
trains were stalled in many other places
on account of serious washouts. On this
account traffic between Boston and the
north and east was greatly impeded.
From Vermont and New Hampshire
| also comes news of swollen rivers, the
height of which approaches that reached
| in famous freshets of the spring of 1896.
| There was serious break in a log boom
at Bellows Falls, VT, whereby 12,000,0 J0
feet of logs were released.
These rushed down the river to Turner s
Falls Mass, where another boom held so, :.
00000 feet The pressure was too great
and the second boom parted and the COM
bined drive of logs was carried away.
! At Dover, N. H., where, in 1886, four
bridges and a business block were carried
away by the floods, the Cocheco mills
were compelled to suspend operations,
and at Amesbury, Mass, work was also
impeded by flooded cellars.
| In the western part of Massachusetts,
| the Connecticut river swept away the
dam of the Warner Manufacturing COM
pany at Greenfield and caused other
damage. Considerable damage to crops
is also reported from some sections.
| One of the peculiar features of the
storm was that while nearly two inches
of rain fell in this city, none fell at East
port and only four hundredths of an inch
fell at Nantucket, Mass.
The storm is passing slowly eastward
| today and Maine points are feeling the
force, though not SO heavily as did other
districts last night
| A special from Rochester, says that the
rains have caused much damage. Early
| this morning family residing near Will
low Brook, were rescued in boats by city
| officers, while the Boston and Maine rail-
road tracks near Bradley's coal sheds are
suspended twenty feet in the air, the Gull
vert for length of seventy having been
| carried away by the raging waters. AT
Amesburys Clark's pond and Cherry
brook have overfowed, making the streets
in the near vicinity almost impossible.
| The dam at the Rochester mill over
flowed, flooding the adjacent territory
and putting the first floors of many car
rage factories under water.
The Briggs Carriage company has been
obliged to close it's factory for two days
on this account. Reports from neighbor-
| ing country towns say that the roads
there are utterly impossible and the
freshet is the worst known.
| There are great many cave-inS, and
the total damage will amount to several
thousand dollars.

"A BAD FREIGHT WRECK.
Engine and Eleven Cars Went Over an
Embankment Near Seabrook Station

Engine and Eleven Cars Went Over an
Embankment Near Seabrook Station.
Seabroolz, NH, June 10-A bad freight
wreck due to a washout on the Eastern
division of the Boston & Maine railroad
occurred about a quarter of a mile north
of Seabrook station at 210 a. M, this
morning. Train No. 1853 drawn by en-
CINE /. 81, in charge of Conductor George
Tightbody, ran into the washout and en-
CINE and II cars went over the embank-
ment. Three cars were smashed to splin-
tiers and the others badly damaged.
Three cars now lie directly across the
tracks and it is doubtful if any trains can
pass in either direction until night.
A wrecking train is on the scene and
at 9 O'Clock had succeeded in replacing
the engine upon the rails and transfers of
passengers are now being made ON each
side of the wreck.
1t is considered a miracle that no one
was killed or injured. The only deaths
resulting from the wreck are those of two
who We're in the box car. The total dam.
age Will probably amount to about $4,000.

BRILLIANTLY PLAYED GAME.
Augusta Won Another One From Bango,
Yesterday.

Bangor, June 10.-Augusta defeated
Bangor this afternoon in a very pretty
game of ball by the score of five to one.

frst inning, it was a brilliantly played
game. Newell was responsible for the
flrst two runs of the visitors by his
tumble of Delaney's grounder. The game
was played under protest by Manager
Long of Augusta, who claimed that Wise

transportation to Augusta. The score:

NO TROUBLE TO NORTH.
Maine Central and Grand Trunk Roads
Report No yYashouts.

The rain did not seem to bother the
Maine Central any and no washouts of
any consequence were reported yesterday.
All ofsthe trains into Portland were on
time. but some of those bound east wer'
/ held here in order to make connections
with the Boston trains which were SO
long delayed.
The Portland Rochester was not SO
fortunate. There was bad washout at
. East Rochester which held up the trains
bound in both directions. The train due
here at $50 did not reach here until 3. Is
in the afternoon and nearly all of the
other through trains were delayed. The
night freights over this road were can
celled last night
The Grand Trunk was moving its
trains on time and had no washouts re-
ported. All the trains were run very
carefully as it was feared that the heavy
rain might damage the road bed.
Portland people were by no means sur
prised yesterday morning when they
awoke to find the rain pouring down in
torrents. In fact the good people of this
city have become rather accustomed to
this sort of thing and had the day been
pleasant it might have occasioned few
remarks But as it was there were very
few. men yesterd ay who dared say much
about the weather and contented them
selves with merely expressing a hope that
July Fourth might be pleasant or that it
would stop raining some time before the
time for the New England fair. At about
two O'Clock Thursday morning the rain
fell in sheets for fully half an hour, but
very little damage was done by it in this
Vicinity.
Mr.. HI. Ell. Roche of the Portland
weather bureau gives the following facts
about yesterdays rain fall. 1t is record
that should be cut out and pasted in your
book for reference to in the years to come
when you become one of Portland S
Oldest citizens"
The amount of rain which fell during
the "a hours ending at s p. m. last eve
ming was 2.12 inches. This is the greatest
fall in "a consecutive hours recorded here
since last September. May, and thus far

rainy, there having been but seven clear
days since the first of May to date, and
30 days upon which rain fell. June has
thus far given us nine cloudy or rainy
days and but one clear day. The excess of
precipitation above the normal since the
beginning of the present year is 4.4a
); inches. The temperature for May and ten
days in June has been extremely low, the
deficiency for the month and third be-
ing no less than 10S degrees. For the cor
responding period in SO there was sur
plus of 40 degrees, showing q difference
between the two periods of 14S degrees.
Thus far this year the thermometer has
cached the 10th degree mark, but three
times, once in April, twice in May and
not at all in June SO far.

The society has attained its third birth

tenary association, which is the Woman's
National Missionary society. There are
several strong mission circles which meet
monthly doing excellent work, both in
increasing missionary spirit and develop
ing the spiritual side of the church from
the woman's point of view, not neglecting
the works of philant hrophy and studies
in un1versalism. The work now while
larger than in either of it's two years of
life, is but, we trust, at the beginning of
greater usefulness.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo.
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
