BUCKSPoRT MURDER CASE.

Bangor, October 10.-Interest in the
Ware murder case at Bucksport is as in
tense as ever and the crime continues to
be the talk of the hour. Detective Odlin
of Lewiston arrived Saturday night and
at once took up the work of unrayelIing
the mystery. Most of the stories in oircu-
lation are found to be mere rumors and
there is not likely to be anything for pub
lication for some time. The town officers
are doing all in their power to assist in
the case and some headway has been
made.

A special to the Tribune from Walker:
says: 1t is reported on the authority of
a citizen who has conversed with hostile
Pillager Indian one, who was in Wednes-
days battle, and who has sat in all of the
councils of the Pillagers that the Indians
have sworn to an agreement to accomplish
If possible, the following: They will at
tempt in few days TO drive from the
reservation all Of the troops already there.
They will, If successful In the above, not
allow any United States authorities or
United States troops thereafter to land
upon the reservation. If the troops land
upon point not inhabited by the hostile
Indians, an attempt will be made to drive
them of ss soon as possible.
The man who gave this information Is
believed to be thoroughly reliable. He
had an extended conference with General
Bacon last night.

The construction crews on the North

these are where the line crosses the Mis-

practically impossible for the hostiles to

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name Of

THE QUARTERLY TICKETS.
Proposed Abolition of Convenience
on the Railroads..

Orders have been issued by the general
passenger department of both the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Companies to abolish, after December 81,
the use of quarterly tickets between this
city and Baltimore, and selling in their
place monthly tickets at advanced rates.
There is much feeling among commuters
over the matter. and A number of those
who live in Baltimore and come TO wash
ington daily met in the former city last
evening and expressed their determination
TO fight the companies. Threats were made
that If the railway companies do not with
draw the order many of the Baltimore
commuters would remove to Washington,
and committees were appointed to wait on
the proper authorities and ask that the
Objectionable orders be rescnded.
The commuters propose, if the answer of
the railways is unfavorable, 10 make
strong efforts to influence all senators
against the passage of the anti-scaip.ng
bill, advocated by the railroads. This is
intended as an antagonistic move. and not
because the commuters are in favor Of
Scalping.

A Christmas dinner to be a Christmas
dinner must be prepared from only the
very best articles that the market affords
and if even the smallest feature of it is
lacking in quality the entire feast is sure
to be spoiled. For Christmas dinner, or
any other dinner, for that matter, good
butter is a prime requisite, and there is
no excuse for this being lacking in Wash

well worth receiving, and well worth Civ

every week, and each time brings a wealth
of good things 1t costs but a dollar, and
yet it gives vastly more pleasure than a
much greater sum could give if expended in
any other possible way. Order it sent to
some out-of-town friend, and you may rest
assured that one, at least, of your Christ
mas gifts will be thoroughly appreciated
many times. 1t will be Christmas once a
week to the fortunate recipient.
