ssBetore Judge. Hopkins yesterday after
noon appeared Thomas McDonough,
young newsboy of Portland, whose case
was suspended few days ago in order
that the officers might have chance to
capture his companions that have been in
the habit of going out to East Deering
Sundays and annoying people in that
neighborhood. The officers were success
full in securing one more of the boys,
named William Kennedy, and his case
with that Of McDonough's was heard yes
terday afternoon. The McDonough boy
was charged with throwing stone which
hit young lady, while the Kennedy boy
was accused of malicious mischief and
using insulting and abusive language.
After carefully considering the cases the
Judge imposed sentence ofa10 days each
in Jail andithey were committed later In
the day. There are other boys that the
officers would like to:punish for the same
offence, but it is hard to identify them.
1t is hoped thatl the sentences in these
cases will at least serve as lesson to the
others that have been in the habit OF
coming into Deering every Sunday and
doing as they please without regard to the
law and its enforcement.
The case of Fred Mason of Windham al
80 engrossed the attention OF the judge
Mason was arrested on Forest avenue on
Thursday evening for into xication. Later
in the evening he sobered mp and realized
for the first time that be was IN the lock
up. He felt so bad over the matter that
he cried nearly all night and yesterday
forenoon when he appeared before the
indge he was in tears. He pleaded for liber-
alton on the ground that it was his first
offence. He said that he had been into
Portland and had been invited to drink
which he did. On his way home through
Deering he was found to be unable to 90
without assistance and SO was lodged in
the police station. The Judge learning that
the man was out of work and had
family to support, discharged the case.
The engagement is announced of Mr..
Chester W. Doten, partner Of the Deer
ing Grocery Co., Woodfords, and Miss
Edith G. Kinney of Worcester, Mass.

Stocks are advan sing because the public

that stocks are worth more money than

HOLDS IT'S GROUND.
This Is Testimony From Everywhere as
Well as from Portland.

Can this be so? Is it true? Are the
facts garbled? Is the truth distortedY
These are questions which every man and
woman in Portland suffering the torture
of backache asks as they read the pub

medicines which claim to cure it, What-
ever the conclusion arrived at touching
the truth of these cures is he can't hedge
or finch from or disprove the following,
for it took place in Portland and the ex-
periences are those of a representative cit
izen.
