POLO NOTES.

Lewiston Sun: The managers of polo in
this city should not allow a repetition of
last nights game. Both teams were to
blame. Lewiston was an easy winner
and Gardiner got mad. Gardiner began
foot ball tactics and the audience lost in
Fistiana and polo do not attract. The
management should put sudden stop to
the sort of polo played last night. al
though the Lewiston team was not the
agsressor.
Bath Times: The rowdyish conduct of
the Rockland polo team during their
visits to the cities in the circuit. is not
only dlsgraceful to themselves and their
city. but is prejudicial to the regulations
tlemen. The Rockland players have for
feited the privilege of putting up at the
Shannon house and Phoenix hotel in this
city. SWEETS hotel in Portland, the
Evans house in Gardiner. and we don't
know how many more. 1t begins to look
as though they would have to carry a
tent or quit the league.
Rockland Star: The Rockland people
who witnessed the polo game at Bath,
tuesday evening. were more than pleased
with the exhibition characterixing 1t as
beautiful scientific contest. devoid of
unpleasant features. barring the defeat
of the H. NJ. BIS. While not wishing to
detract from the hard earned victory Of
the Aiamedas, yet a gentleman states
that they We're very fortunate to win, as
in the second period Campbell put the
6all in the Bath cage but 1t did not stay.
But for this misfortune ROckland would
have ahead at the expiration of the regu-
lar time and no extra period would have
been necessary. All the members Of the
Rockland team played splendidly, but
the ball rolled with their adversaries.

rHG DEADLY cIsaaETrE.


Washington, Feb. 12.-Mr. WoOdman,
Rep, Of Illinois. addressed the House
ways and means committee, today. In
defence of his bill raising the tax on
cigarettes from so cents to $50 per
Thousand. He said: LAS revenue
measure 1t means an enormous In
crease. 1t is probable that the con-
sumption of cigarettes will be materi-
ally decreased. perhaps half, and In
that case the revenue from their man
ufacture and sale will be five times
what it Is now and thus play it's part
in the redemption Of the impoverished
treasury. The adult smokers Of
cigarettes will have them even at the
enhanced price made mandatory by
this measure. but where the great ele-
ment of virtue will obtain will be in so
contracting the sale that school chill
dren, the rising generation, will be
protected from its evils.
Protection is the watchword Of the
age-protection to American working
men: protection to American indus
tries; protection as by the immigra
ton bill recently passed, to American
citizenship: protection as in the case
of the lottery law Of a few years ago
of the people against themselves. Is
there, then, any reason why this same
protection should not be extended to
our boys. especially when such protec-
ton involves matter Of much needed
revenue to the government"

Prof. Munyon, Upon His
Arrival Will Distribute Alb.

OF His World Renowned
rheumatism Cure.
This 10 the Greatest Free
Combination Offer Ever
Made to the Public BY a
Medical Company.

Professor Munyon, the head of the
Munyon Homeopathic Home Remedy
Co., Philadelphia, will arrive in a few
days. bringing with him a number of
his skilled specialists. In order to ed
ucate the public how to doctor and
cure themselves the professor proposes
to send his physicians to treat patients
at their homes or at his offices abso-
lutely free. He says he can demon
strate that his Rheumatism Cure will
relieve rheumatism in a few hours
He guarantees that his Dyspepsia
Cure will cure any case of indigestion
or stomach trouble. Il will demon
strate." says the professor, 'by this
test that 30 per cent. of all kidney
complaints. including Brights disease,
can be cured with my Kidney Cure. I

my Catarrh Cure will cure catarrh of
the head. throat and stomach-no mat

the most skeptical that my Headache

in from three to ten minutes and that
it is a splendid stomach and heart

Asthma Cure and Asthma Herbs, TAX

any case of asthma in five minutes
and cure in few days. 1 claim that
my remedies for Female complaints
and children's diseases are positive
cures. and should be in every home. 1
will prove to the medical faculty that
my remedies are absolutely harmless:
that they will cure more than 80 per

Thus it will be seen by these state
ments that Professor Munyon does not
claim to cure all diseases with one
remedy, but he has a separate cure for
each disease.

The fighting in the vicinity of Bida, tn,

Jan. q. Half Of the British forces
which consisted of 500 troops. six Max
inns. rs mounted officers and 900 carriers
were ordered to cross a ravine near the
ridge on which the troops of the Roya
Niger company's expedition had beer
stationed during the night. As they
crossed the ravine it was noticed that
the Fulah scouts were watching. The
troops accordingly formed in a hall
square. the guns following. The real
half of the force then closed on the
front half, forming a complete square.
The British forces advanced steadily,
halting every 200 yards for the purpose
of allowing the guns to keep pace. The
rassed forces of the enemy soon ap-
peared, even covering the surrounding
slopes. constituting q splendid piano.
rama, their eastern or semi-barbarous
costumes in the sunlight recalling
Scott's tales Of the Crusaders. The
square of the Royal Niger company's
forces was soon completely surrounded
by 10000 cavalry and footmen. The re-
duction from the estimate Of 10000 made
on Jan. &c was due to the death of two
of the important princes. rulers Of the
Moslem states. allies of the Mohamme.

Mohammedan empire Of Sokoto. When
these two princes and rulers were killed
by the shells of the British. their forces
withdrew from the army of the Emir OF
Nupe.
The Royal Niger troops continued to
advance slowly until they reached a
ridge which commanded Bida. They
then took up a strong position on the re.
serve of the slope and continued to re-
connoitre throughout the day. Their
forces were constantly harrassed by the
Fulah sharpshooters, who daringly ad-
vanced to within hundred yards of the
square. Swarms of the enemy's cavalry
charged on the Royal Niger forces, but
they were badly shattered, owing to the
effective use of the Maxim guns. At 10. 80
the artillery began bombarding the
town. six Maxim guns playing on the
gradually retiring masses of the enemy.
At noon the advance company Of the
troops entered Bida. which is a town
