A little fight of short duration and
distinct results took place behind the
Maine Central engine house, Sunday
afternoon. 1t seems that a soldier Of
fered an insult to a man with a meek
look upon his face, striking the man in
the said face. The meek man proved
to have little lion in his makeup, and
after accompanying the soldier to the
the soldier down as fast as the man
could pick himself UP. The setto oc-
cupied but few minutes, but the SOL
der begged before the few who COM
posed the crowd scattered fearing to
attract attention.

The Wonder of the Scientific World,

AS day succeeds day, of Prof, Rus
selles great work in Augusta, more
remarkable cures are made on those
who go to him for treatment. Many
prominent people who but a few days
ago had given up all hope of ever gel
ting any relief this side of the grave
today are well and strong in all the
enjoyment of health.
Every day from A. NJ. to p. M.
constantly increasing numbers of suf-
ferers resort to the Cony House, seek
ing help, looking for relief from their
physical Affections, and going away
happy and joyous of heart. For
through the wonderful gift with whicn
Prof. Russelle is so amply endowed he
works wonders for the sick and suf-
fering in the alienation of pain and
the rapid and permanent cure of dis
ease. His fees are moderate and within
the reach of all.
