Suit TO Recover $1,000 Accident Insur-
once.


Considerable interest has been evinced
this week in the taking of large number
of dispositions of our citizens, to be used
in the trial next month in Boston of the
case entitled Caroline F. Alexander, ad-
ministratrix, VS.. the Masonic Equitable
Accident association of that city. 1t will
be remembered that in the spring of 1895,
when Ned Alexander and comrade lost
their lives in going down the Connecticut
from here in a canoe, he held a number
of life and accident insurance policies.
Each was paid in the due course of such
business transactions except a $1,000 certi.
ficate of membership in the above accident
association. The managers have always
resisted payment claiming that Mr.. Alex
ander unne cessarily exposed himself to
danger in going out in the canoe. Mrs.
Alexander, as administrators of her sons
estate, brought this suit for recovery over
a year ago, and it is expected to be tried
in the superior court of Suffolk county in
October. The dispositions taken have
Deen of witnesses of the embarkation of the
young men, those who saw them at various
points in their trip south of here, and as
to the dangerous heighth # the water at
the time. The dispositions have been
taken by Judge c. Fl. Williams in room
in Union block. The association was rep
resented by Lawyers Montague and Reyes,
who are also officers of the association,
and by c. H. RObb, while the claimant
has been represented by A. 7. Johnson,
ESQ.,, of Boston, an old friend of the Alex
ander family, and former resident of this
town.
The ground for the refusal of the acct
dent company to pay the claim is their
contention that the going out in a canoe
on that day by the young men was an I'M
dertaking of so hazardous and fool-hardy
nature as to relieve them from any liability
under the accident insurance contract. 1t
is probable an error in judgment was made
by the counsel for the claimants in bring

Bad Runaway Accident.

Last Friday was an unfortunate day for
runaways in our village, three or four diff
ferent ones occurring. The only one by
which any person was seriously injured
was that of Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Ranville
of Bartonsville. They are aged people and
formerly lived in our village. They had
been here during the afternoon and in re-
turning were descending the hill beyond
Carlton Webb's, when their horse sudden
ly began kicking and ran. MI Ranville,
being unable to control it, turned it into
the yard of James B. Allbee at the foot Of
the hill, where the buggy was overturned.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ranville struck the
ground heavily, and were seriously bruised
and shaken up. Mrs. Ranville, who was
extricated from underneath the over
turned wagon, suffered a compound frac-
ture of the right wrist. 1t is not thought
that either were dangerously injured, but
from their advanced age it is doubtful if
they are able to get about much for some
time TO come.

THE TREES ON THE WESTERN
PROMENADE,
To the Editor Of the Press:

TO the Editor of the Press:
The magnificent views from the Eastern
and Western promenades constitute one
of the chief charms of our beautiful
Forest City. A finer rural and distant
mountain outlook than that from cur
Western promenade would be difficult to
find anywhere. 1t must be dull soul in.
deed that is not stirred with the visions
of glory, as the distant SUBMITS of the
Mt. Washington range become sharply
defined and illuminated as the setting
sun sinks down behind them. Such a
scene is all inspiration.
The object of this paragraph is to call
attention to the fact that the pine trees
on the slope of Bramhall's hill, are at
one point at least raising their soruhby
heads so high as already to obstruct the
view of the distant mountains. 10 allow
this magnificent outlook to be progressive
ly INSTRUCTED in this way would be more
than unfortunate. 1t would be criminal.
Let the proper officers see to it, that no
obstruction is allowed CIVIS.

GUIDES WILL DEposE MArHIEsoN.

Lewiston. October 2l.-A special to
the Journal from Rangeley says: The
annual meeting of the Guides Associa-
ton is due next Monday and considerable
discussion among certain few arises as
to the policy of the association for the
ensuing year. Some of the guides ar
dissatisfied with thegsteps taken by Presi-
dent Mathieson, relative to the registra-
tionI law and still others hold to the
methods pursued by their president. A
meeting was held the other night to talk
over matters and it was learned that
the president of the association will try
to be removed and another man, not so
persistent in his views on the registration
law elected. Another change talked of
is that of changing the number of direc-
tors from SEVENTH three. The association
will run the hatchery the coming year
and are already taking spawn on Ken
nebago stream for that purpose.

ARE YOU GOING TO ALAsKA2

Since the.wonderful discoveries of gold
in the now famous Alaska K londike re-
gion, it has been the one burning ques-
ton with a great many people whether
they will undertake to visit that far away
region of ice and gold or not. 1t will
be almost impossible for anyone to hope
to meet with anything like success by
going to the region alone, and for that
reason, an expedition is now being
formed under the direction of the Alaska
Yukon Klondike Gold Syndicate of this
city which it is said will be under the
personal supervision of one of the most
eminent and successful mining engineers
in this country. Those who are contem.
plating going there in the spring should
call at the office of the syndicate, 1e1
Middle street. and obtain full inforna-
ton and particulars before attempting
the trip alone.

THE POLICE COURT.
Two Men Are Acquitted on Charge of Be-
lug Hoboes-Brown and the Hay Case.

The chief interest in the Municipal
Court Thursday morning arose from the
case OF two men, James Mason and
James Curtis, who had been arrested We'd
nesday as ''hoboes' by officer Skillings.
The officer testified that he had seen
them "holding up'' citizen for a dona-
ton, and had brought them in. They
denied this and demanded that the citl-
zen who was alleged to have been "held
up be produced. This the police depart
ment could not do.
Curtis said he belonged in Calais and
went to sea. He had been in Portland
only day, and stopped man in front
of City building to ask the way to Gen.
trail wharf.
The judge found no case against the
men and ordered them discharged. Cur
tbs politely thanked the court.
Winfield S. Brown, of Cape Elizabeth,
was arraigned on charge of stealing hay
from Granville E. Jordan of Cape Eliza
beth. It seems that Brown kept his horse
in the barn where Jordan's hay was.
The case was continued until today for
Brown to get counsel. The judge fixed
the bail at 500
. Samuel Coney (perhaps better Coonevl
got 80 days in jail for drunkenness.
Frances Maskell was sent to the house
of correction for 80 days for intoxication.

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDER 1T CAUSE
POIsONs 1T INSTILs IN TaE 3.uon

If we only knew how dangerous insidions
and ruthless q disease indigestion is. we
would not wait as we do before endeavorino
to cure it.
The longer we wait the more dangerous
it is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better it will be, and the better
we will be.
Indigestion is dangerous because it creates
poisons in the stomach which are absorbed
by the blood and by it carried to all parst
of the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed if the
stomach could digest its food When it can
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do
so.
Nothing will help the stomach so well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure
Indigestion so quickly, or SO positively.
The reason is that it purifies the stomach
and the blood, and makes your food
strengthen instead OF poison you.
1t is not medicine, but an aid to diges
ton, pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a trial
bottle.
