BITS OF MAINE NEWS.

A petition is being circulated at Mil
ford asking the Legislature to grant a
"a hours d week release of the law
prohibiting the netting of salmon on
the Penobscot above tide water.
1t is gratifying to note that the pros
poets seem encouraging for an early
start on the construction of the Wash
ington county railroad. The best of
financial backing has been secured and
as soon as the weather is permissible
large crew will be put to work.
A sad scene in Haggerty block came to
the notice of The Lewiston Suns report
er Monday. Thomas Lebrun. his wife
and daughter, have all been suffering
from pneumonia. In Mr.. Lebrun' s case it
proved fatal and he was buried yester-
day morning. All is being done for the
relief of the wife and daughter, but the
doctors say they will probably not recOv-
er.
A petition has been received by Rev.
II. F. Moulton of Biddeford, of the
Universalist church from Westbrook
seminary, asking for signatures. 1t is
addressed to the Legislature, praying
for an appropriation of $4,000 to aid
the school. The petition was literally
signed by the church people after the
service.
Forty years ago on square mile in
South Hiram three smart, ambitious
lads played together. attended the COM

others hands and said goodbye. To-

He who undertakes to explore the aver
age attic is apt to make some queer dis
coveries. A Bowdoinham man who was
rummaging round in one of these recepta-
cles of all sorts of things. last week, took
up an old book which opened to a five
dollar gold piece. AS good husband
should. he Immediately went to his wife
with the find, and on that lady's turning
over the leaves little more. a five dollar
greenback was disclosed. The book had
been stored in the attic for nearly twenty
years; but the father of the finder. on be-
ing told of the discovery, remembered
that years ago, when he kept the book in
his room, he at times when he had a
spare piece of money, deposited 1t between
the leaves and said he must have for
gotten to take them all out.

DOUBLE DEALING
Is the Cause Of Many Heart Burninus. Al
Augusta Case That Was the Opposite.

Double dealing like so many other
expressions in the Anglo Saxon Ian
guage has different meanings. The
text or heading does not refer to the
deceitful, hypocritical specimens of
manhood who curry favor for their
own ends and keep community in a
ferment by retailing scraps of con-
iidences. This time it's the double
dealing of the little conqueror, Doan's
Kidney Pills,-to be more correct the
double healing. One member of a
family tests them. Like disease the
infection spreads. Another tries them,
an acquaintance or a friend may be.
Result the same. A Cure. Read the
