IS the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

The jury has decided that the
town owes Maloneys about sixteen
hundred dollars, then add to this
the costs which will make the whole
amount about two thousand dollars,
bEt the present council appointed
a city solicitor who tried the case,
and the only wonder is the whole
town was not con6scated and the
city officials hung. 1t is quite ex-
pensive, (such ignorance as this)
but let US be thankful it's no
worse than it is. These reform

have one now and then.

Talking plain, the present city
council knew its solicitor was a
miserable, poor lawyer wien they
hired him, and there is no excuse
for their actions. twas simply fool
hardness and recklessness. May
the good Lord forgive them-the
people will never do so.

We suggest that we have a day
set apart for thanksgiving to the
Almighty for the reason we are still
living and have some property left
after the city council allowed its
solicitor to try case for the town.
Its true, the verdict is a big one and
the costs are enormous, but think
what it might have been. 1t
makes us shudder to think Of it.
We return thanks it is no worse.
The council ought to be made to
pay the cost at least for allowing
such an lgnoramus to even attempt
to try lawsuit. It is simply aw-
tul, unCalled for and an outrage to
the taxpayers. Never mind, March
next is not so far away, and the
present council will wonder where
Moses was when the lights went
out, after the votes are counted.
The old council may have done
some things wrong, but it can't
hold candle to the present set of
7bunglers.

Special to the Review.
The Flesher we'll drilled on the
farm OF the same name, is still
making considerable gas. It also
showed some oil when drilled into
the Cow Run sand enough to show
that there is pool of considerable
extent in this vicinity. The own
ers of the we'll are still trying to
lease some farms still farther south
of this well on the same line and
this is good evidence that there is
something in this we'll more than
the public know.
Nicely and others are moving
their rig from their dry hole on the
Martin farm about 500 feet north
east and will drill it at once. They
expect to be drilling by the last of
this week.
Holden and others are building
rig No. 2 on Martin farm about 500
feet southwest of Martin No. I
which is making about so barrels
per day and increasing. The rig
building is on a line with Martin
No. and the Flesher No. 2.

AMMEN RAM KATAHDIN.

furnished the Navy Department by
Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen, United
States Navy, (retired). She was built
at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me, in
1893, and since that time has done lit
tile service. Most of the time tine vessel
has been tied UP to the wharves of the
navy yard, where many improvements
have been added to the machinery.
While the vessel carries no large guns,
it is said that she could force ships of
much larger. tonnage and armed with
heavy guns to make terms for peace.
"The Katahdin depends wholly upon
her ramming powers for either attack
or defense. The construction Of the
vessel is such that it would be almost
impossible for the shells of an enemy's
guns to cause any damage to her.
THE vessel has a conical steel ar
mored deck, running the length and
breadth of the ship. 1t is curved so the
ends, which are knife edge project
from the sides of the vessel about three
feet below the water line. When un-
der way only a small portion Of the
deck is visible. Four small guns of
the rapid fire type are mounted on the
deck to repel the attack of torpedo
boats. but as all the matches are bat
tened down when the vessel is cleared
for action they would be of little use.
No one is allowed on deck during an
action. The coming tower, placed for
ward, and only a few feet from the
ram, is protected by armor plates ten
inches in thickness. This, with the
smoke funnel, which is protected half
it's length by armor plates six inches
thick, are the only targets which could
be aimed at by an enemy.
1.-The ram is a solid piece of hardened
steel weighing about five tons. 1t is
conical in shape, AID placed on the bow
of the vessel below the water line
When going at full speed the ram has
striking force of about 100000 foot
tons per minute, or enough force to
drive a hole in an ordinary armored
battIeShlp.
THE hull of the vessel below the ar
mored deck is protected, and is unlike
any Of the hulls of the other vessels; it
is V-shaped.
THE ship is driven by twin screws,
operated by a set of triple-expansion
engines of the most modern type. They
are placed in a water-tight compart-
ment amidships, and develop an indi-
Gated horsepower of 4,SOO. The dis
placement of the vessel is 1850 tons,
and she has a speed of over II knots.
THE crew space is forward, while
the officers quarters are aft. All are
below the water line, and air is pump
ed into them by the electrical machin-
cry in the engine room"

The finest carpets of the east are not
woven but done with a needle In one
of the discourses of Buddha, he speaks
of ''the well-made chariots, yoked to
excellent horses and covered with car
pets of elegant stitching" The pattern
Is drawn on a warp and the carpet
makers put their stitches around two
of its threads, then twice tie into knots
the woolen, the silken or golden thread,
and cut it off. The finer carpets are
frequently enriched with texts from
the Koran, and ornamented with beau
tiful patterns and gorgeous colors.
They take eight, ten, twelve or more
years to. make. A small rug in the
Paris exhibition of 1873 cost $500.
Those carpets are mostly made in rich
mems houses and often by the wo-
men, and given for presents. A Per-
sian in London, being shown a large
Persian carpet, said: What a rich
carpet-seller that man must have been;
carpets like this are only made by
mems wives, and he must have had
fifteen wives to have made so large a
carpet"
I'VE shall never have any fine car
pets in Europe until we give up the
brutal habit of walking on them with
our Shoes" says one writer. DIRTY
shoes destroys them in an incredibly
short time, While the Mussulman car
pets last for centuries, and up TO a GER
tain time they actually improve by the
wear of naked feet. They have the
smooth, satiny appearance of the skip
of the beast in the Apocalypse"
