Some Pertinent Questions That Can
Be Answered with One RepIy.

Why is it that in Skowhegan with a
population of 5000 there is only one
medicinal preparation that gives state
ments from residents to back up its rep
reservations?
" by Is it that Doan's Kidney Pills do
this in Skowhegan as well as in every
other city and town If any Importance
in the Union2 Why is it that there are
advertised in every newspaper a dozen
remedies and only one that can supply
local proof, local endorsation of its
claims?
The solution of the problem is simple.
Only nne remedy has the staying and
curing power. Other remedies make all
kinds of gig antic yet futile efforts to get
local proof, but the attempt ends in pro-
ducing statement or two from places
that as far as ~kowhegan is concerned
might as well be in the moon.
here is Skowhegan proof that backs
up the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mr. Noah f. Reed, contractor, 80 Front
ST., says: 81 always worked hard and
received many hard knock in my time.
wss carried away for dead on three
occasions and that may be the cause of
the kidney complaint from which | suf-
fered for Is years. Aching in the back !;
dist essing urinary difficulty; so lame
in the small of the back in the morning
found it hard to get out of bed and
twinges when STOPPING were the main
symptoms. doctored most of the time
and spent good many dollars. Nearly
all the physicians about here prescribed
for me and told me my case was peculiar.
After it all, today, am free of all symp-
toms of kidney trouble. There is very
small spot directly under the spine " hich
hurts slightly when | curve my back in
certain way. sometimes am inclined
to think it has nothing to do with the
kidneys, but was caused by an injury.
If that is the case can say am entirely
rid of all kidney trouble and give Doan's
Kidney Pills credit for this remarkable
change in my condition. When l first
went to Patterns drug store and got
box had no more faith in them than 1
had in other medicines, but now it's diff
ferent | have recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills for kidney and urinary dis
eases and endorse them as the only sue
cessful remedy have used in Is years.

all the time and am pleased to talk
Doan's Kidney Pills to anyone who feels
interest enough to ask me about them.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with.
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent For three months
she coughed necessarily and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery by purchasing of us bottle OF
DIR. Kings New Discovery for consump-
tion and was so much relieved on TAX
lug first dose that she slept all night,
and with two bottles has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." -"

Wheat has advanced in price, said to
be owing to the heavy export demand
from foreign countries, which has grad
ually increased from 100000 bushels a
day, few weeks ago, to something over
100000 bushels for some days past,
and on Wednesday of last week. the ex-
port business was reported In the neigh
borhood of 100000 bushels, the largest
figure in about twenty years. This ex-
ceedingly heavy export demand was not
generally unexpected but it is none the
less acceptable to our extensive wheat
growing sections,

The fine old theory that there is not
money enough In the world to do the
worlds business, runs up against an
incident unfavorable to that theory, a
stubborn fact. The figures of the
worlds gold production for 1897 were
made public by the director of the mint,
this week, and show S237 100000, nearly
$35, ,000,0 increase over 1896, or Is 2-3
per cent, and more than twice the 1890
production, with every indication of an
other great increase in 1898, the estimate
being $270, 100000 or $33, ,500,0 900 greater
than lS97-nearly three times as much
gold produced in 1898 as in 1883, only
fifteen years ago, while after making
allowance for use in the arts, $59,000,-
900 in 1897, the amount of gold available
for monetary purposes is nearly twice
what it was only six years ago.

Sheriff Viles, who is well versed In
lumber matters on Dead River waters,
says that as nearly as he can calculate
at present the cut on that river will be
somewhat smaller than usual and about
as follows: The Berlin Mibls Lumber
Company will probably cut six or eight
millions on Chain-of Ponds; Lawrence,
Newhall & Company five or six millions
on Alder stream; Elias Thomas one or
two millions on the South Branch; Viles
& Thomas, one million on Black Brook /;
Lawrence Brothers of Gardiner. one mil
lions on township No. 8; Leroy Gray of
New Portland, one-half million on Bogg
Brock for Elias Thomas Of Portland /;
John p. Clark of Skowhegan, one half
million on Carrytown, and Abraham
Newton of Jackman two millions on
Prattstown, and one million on the Spen-
Ger. There Is likely to be few small
operations beside the above.

Whiskey and soldiers do not make a
good combination. In fact whiskey and
any human being do not mix with any
advantage to the human. This was ex-
emplified at Hallowell where a conf ct
between dozen or more Augusta
soldiers and the Halowell police force
created lively disturbance at place of
entertainment, in that quiet city, one
evening last week. The policemen were
Obliged to call upon citizens to reinforce
them, but finally the soldiers were lock-
I'd up and obliged to pay fines and costs
the next morning.

The Correct Theory.

The London Speaker In recent article
of considerable length says the doctrine
Of international law by which debt In
Cured by ruler binds his successors,
rests upon very slight formation and
further states:
"Fpr fifty years Spain has ruled Cuba,
in defiance of the will df the Cubans aud
In spite Of the constant protest of the
United States. The cost Of her military
operations there has been met by loans
especially chargeable upon Cuba, in the
first place in order to punish the Cubans
and, 10 the second 10 order to arrange
for cheap retreat In the event of being
driven out by America.
TIN word, the debt has been charged
upon Cuba largely with the object of
saddling it upon the United States. The
bondholders were encouraged to look to
the supposed doctrine of international
law as part of the security, while they
knew they were lending to Spain agaiust
the will Of both Cubans and Americans.
1t is to be hoped that the United States.
while assuming sovereignty over Cuba,
will refuse to pay any part of the debt
except the money used In the develop
ment of the island, thereby setting a
most useful precedent, of which tyrants
and financiers will do well TO take note"
