TOWN STARTLED.
Dynamite Explosions Shake
Up Wells, Maine.
investigators OF the Disturbances
Could Not Learn the Cause.
Believed to Be the Result Of Dropping ExpIo.
sives From Balloon.

Wells. Me-. Jan. s.--This town Is In
ferment Of excitement over a number of
explosions yesterday which shook every
thing In the neighborhood. Much spec
ulation was INDUCED in as to the cause
OF these startling shocks. and the mys-
terry finally became too great for the
staid citizens, and II was decided to find
out what was going on.
Late In the day committee or VII
layers went to Black Creek, place near
Wells Beach, and about three miles from
the railroad depot here, to investigate.
They returned with stories OF large
holes in the earth and on the beach in
that vicinity. which they judged were
made by charges of dynamite. But they
could only conjecture as to the object of
the explosions, and by what means they
We're accomplished.
Postmaster Harley Moulton says that
early yesterday morning two men
alighted at the Wells Beach station from
! the Dover train, carrying with them
suspicious looking boxes. One man was
tall and of dark complexion, the other
short, thick-set, with black curly hair;
In fact, both men are thought to be Gu
bans by those who saw them. The men
took the road toward Black Creek, three
miles away. Two hours later the shock
Of a big explosion was heard, and
excited much curiosity. Explosions were
frequent, some Of them being less no
ticeable than others. The same men who
were seen early in the morning were
again seen when they took a train to
Boston. 1t is said the experiments with
dynamite were attempts to demonstrate
the feasibility of carrying explosives into
the air by means Of kites and then drop
ping them by electrical arrangement
when the kite is over the object the de-
struction of which is desired. These ex-
periments. II they are conducted by
means Of kites, as 1t is thought they
were, give color to the report that the
Cuban insurgents were looking forward
to new and valuable ally In the warfare
against the Spanish. 1t Ia known that
an inventor was In Lynn. Mass, recent
ly, to secure the assistance Of an electri-
elan to assist in the dynamite kite ex-
pertinent. and he had promised his aid.
Newburyport's Strange visitors.
Newburyport, Mass, Jan. Sit was
reported here on Tuesday that a party
of men. several Of whom were thought
to be Cubans. were here with the inten-
ton of trying dynamite bomb expert
mcnts at Salisbury beach. but though
search was made for the party, 1t was
later learned that they had left for other
Aelds.
Discredited at Lynn.
Lynn, Mass, Jan. 1.-THE report that
Lynn electricians were engaged to con-
duct experiments with dynamite-carry-
ing kites has not been credited here. but
II Is stated by an electrician that the
experimenters had gone to New Hamp-
shire to test the kite.

rarefied as that Of our own west. One can
read here by moonlight, but ono cannot
read fine print easily. The remote dis
tances of the landscapes are melted In an
aerial haze instead Of Jeing defined with
the relentless clearneas Of steel engrav-
ing. Nevertheless the light of the tropics

He Is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P, Lppman's Great Rem.
0dv. For II.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter: "Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.

George Briggs, Of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that p. p. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years Of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side Of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
!, to admit q teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him In torture. He
had consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried =. p. p. lie says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. p. p. will not make
total cure Of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, p. p. p, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, IL neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. p. p. removes
