COMMA BACILLUS.

In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and Prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium PARALLELS the nerves.
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It IS
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any Opiate, but stin1u-
1ates the nerves with new life and power,
DESTROYS the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.

THE WATERvILLE MIDDLE.

Augusta, March There was an in.
formal hearing in chambers at one 'clock
Tuesday before Judge Whitehouse, and
the matter of the failure to file the nomi-
nation papers of Frank L. Thayer the
Democratic nominee for mayor of Water
Vile. Hon. Charles +. johnson appeared
for the Democrats and presented state
ment of the case signed by Chairman e.
L. Jones of the Democratic city commit
tee and Mr.. Thayer's deolination of the
nomination as follows:
To the Democratic City Committee of
the City of Waterville:
Having been nominated by caucus OF
the Democratic party of the city of Water
vile, held on the Gath day of February,
1898, as the candidate of said party for
mayor, to be voted for at the election in
said city, to be held on the seventh day
of March 1898, hereby decline said nomi-
nation.
Frank L. Thayer.
February 2S, 1898.
Mr.. johnson contended that under the
statute this left a vacancy which the
Democratic committee could proceed to
fill by nominating Mr.. Thayer, who was
the choice of the caucus.
Hon. w. G. Philbrook for the Republi-
cans and City Solicitor Harvey d. Eaton
did not agree to this, but argued that the
vacancy was beyond remedy.
Judge Whitehouse held that the Demo
cratic committee could not legally put
Mr.. Thayer's name on the ballot. 1t
would be too transparent to appoint q
man who failed to appoint man who
failed to get on to the ballot because OF
defective nomination papers. He would
recognize, however, that vacancy ex-
listed, and suggested that the committee
put some other mans name on the ballot
and-by arrangement with the voters they
that of Mr.. Thsyer when they voted.

.
TON.

noon in the vestry of st. Lukes cathe-
dral Mrs. j. J.Frye in the chair. The
meeting was opened with religious SER
vices by Bishop Nicely, consisting of read
Ing of the scriptures. prayer and brief
address.
Reports were read by the recording Sec
rotary, the treasurer the chairman of the
Current Indian News, and Petition Work
committees. Letters were read from Mrs
Blackledge, our missionary at Oklahama,
which could not fail of winning any I'M
prejudiced mind to the Indian cause.
A very interesting paper was given by
Miss Wyer on the subject of the Maine
WoInen's Indian association, telling of
the history of its formation in 1883, it's
subsequent work and progress, it's present
hope and aim.
The mission work in Oklahama is
largely one of faith, as it is maintained
solely by embership subscriptions, and
donations. 1t has recently received from
the State street church, S5S.23, forty-five
of which were obtained from tho $1.0O
fees, and the remainder was gift from
tn society.
Will not other churches, or whatsoever
will, aid us in carrying on the missionary
work, to which we are pledged among the
Shawnees?

THE SOUTHERN oUTRAGEs.

Washington, March 1.-The two out
RACES on Republican postmasters in the
South discussed at the Cabinet meeting
today occurred at Lake City, >. u, ana
Ada, Ga. Freeman, the postmaster at
the latter place was assassinated before
he entered on his duties as postmaster.
The President. it is said, is very much
disturbed by these acts, though he views
with satisfaction the fact that the whole
Southern press has expressed its indigna-
tion. The first impulse of the officials in
cases like these cited, 1T is said, is to
abolish the office where the outrage 90

such step would deprive large num-
Der Of citizens who had nothing to do
with the killing of thei- postmaster. The
President, therefore, finds it difficult to
lay down any rigid rule that could be
adopted.
The office at Lake City has been
abolished, but so far nothing has been
done at Ada.

SAGADAHOC COUNTY.
State vs. Henry H. Howard.
Rescript by Whitehouse, 1.-The exam
ined copy of that part of the record OF
special tax payers residing in this state
which related to the defendant and his
business was properly admitted. A copy
of the entire list of such tax payers was
inadmissible because immaterial, II not
prejudicial to the respondent.
When the copy of the record of special
tax payers in question was exami ned in
the light of the provisions of the statutes
of the United States, the figures and abb
breviations entered in the several columns
could not fail to become readily intelli-
gible to the jury. 1t distinctly informed
them that q person bearing the re-
spondent's name and carrying on the
same business in the same city and street
paid a special tax of twenty dollars, the
precise amount required of retail dealer
In malt liquors, receiving therefor
stamp with the serial number of 5,l75;
and indicates the business on account of
which this tax was paid by the letters K.
d. M. L., obviously the initial letters of
the words retail dealer malt liquors.
The evidence was admissible under APP,
propriate instructions respecting it's appli-
cation to the defendant; and il the state
failed to introduce tine regulations of the
the collectors Office which might have re-
moved all possible ground for requesting
the meaning of any entries in the record,
its probative force still remained quss-
ton of fact for the jury.
Exceptions overruled. Judgment for
the state.
PENOBsCOT COUNTY. % q
Atwood VS.. Bangor, Orono and Oldtown
Railway Co.
Rescript by Whitehouse, 1.-THE plain
tiff 8 prior negligence contributed in a
certain sense to produce the accident;
that is toisay, 1t the plaintiff had not
stopped to talk in the street with his
team SO near the track, there would
probably have been no collision and no
damage.
But the contrihutory negligence of the
injured party that will defeat recovery,
must have contributed as proximate
cause of the injury. In all cases where
negligence on the part of the plaintiff is
connected with the cause of injury, the
question to be determined is whether the
defendant, by the exercise of ordinary
care and skill might have avoided the in
jury.
If he could have done so the negligence
of the paintih cannot be set as an answer
to the action. If one discovers another to
be negligent he must take precautions
accordingly, emitting which he is liable
to the other for the damages which flow
from sucn new want of care.
The jury evidently reached the conclu-
sion that by the exercise of reasonable
and ordinary care and caution on his
part, the motorman might have SO man
aged his car as to avoid a collision with
the plaintiffs team. 1t was peculiarly a
question of fact within the province of
the jury to settle, and this court does not
feel justified in setting aside their verdict.
Motion overruled.
