THE SKOWHEGAN PLAN.

The citizens of Skowhegan are consid.
ering the presentation of bill at the next
session of the legislature changing the
method Of governing that town. The
proposed form of government, which is
original with Lawyer o. r. Bachelor,
embodies all the advantages of city
government, yet with none of the dis
advantages of the necessity for saIaried
In brief, the idea of the change in form
OF government for the town of Skowhe-
gam is that the town shall be divided
into seven wards and certain number
OF delegates flom each ward constitute
council over which "a president shall
preside. This council is to have The
general oversight of all the towns bust
ness and in fact Is to have the same
poHer as a city council. Otherwise
the form of the government will not be
changed. This town council is to have
meetings in place of the town meetings
There are now something like 100
voters In the town and VIII sn the voters
are divided in opinion on any question
it is almost an impossibiIi.y to gain a
correct idea of the wishes of the town
at meeting on account of the large
number.

Mr.. James D. Dolan, the prominent
druggist of this city, who has been talked
about so much this fall on account of the
connection he had made with Chester
Kent & Co., the prominent chemists and
proprietors of Vinol, gave reporter yes
terday some very interesting facts con-
corning this wonderful tonic reconstruc-
tor.
SIT is well known" said Mr.. Dolan,
''that the consumption of medicine is
much less in warm weather than in the
winter. suppose that one reason for
this Is that people who find it necessary
to take medicine naturally feel better
when they are able to be out of doors
Another reason is that medicines that art
atiall offensive to the taste, and especially
those that are of a greasy nature, become
doubly disagreeable when the weather be-
comes warm.
"This is particularly true of cod liver
,soil, as we have always heretofore known
It, God liver oil with its horrible smell.
ling grease, even when it could be taken
by an effort in winter would become SO
positively repulsive in warm weather that
it was an impossibility to administer it.
"This was very unfortunate for people
to whom cod liver oil was necessary as a
medicine, for in summer they were OBJ
liged to omit taking what would have
been a valuable remedy. were it not for
the grease. The result of this omission
of medicine in cases of consumption or
other wasting diseases showed itself in a
very upfavorable way upon the patient.
When medicine is needed it is of course
necessary that it should be taken without
interruption until cure is effected. and
particularly is this true for such cases as
n have just mentioned
"The consequence has been, therefore,
that where patients were Obliged to aban-
don taking their medicine because it was
doubly repulsive in warm weather, much
valuable ground on the road to recovery
was lost, and the patient at the begin
ming of winter was much further from
recovery than when he ceased taking his
medicine in the spring.
"We are not going to have any further
trouble of this sort, however" continued
sMr. Dolan, "for now we have Vinol it
lis just as easy to take cod liver oil-or
that Is, the only part of cod liver oil
which is necessary, this medicinal pr1nci-
ples-all the year round. By doing this
Tie possibility of effecting cure is in
creased 80 per cent.
"Here is letter that I received a short
time ago, written by MIR. H. g. Greene.
"a very well known chemist of Fitchburg,
ito Chester Kent & Co., the chemists who
prepare Vino].
"Mr. Greene seems to have been i'm
xpressed with this particular virtue of

strongest reasons of Vinol's popularity.

WHEELER AT SANTIAGO.


General Wheeler started on the two
miles journey TO the front in an ambu-
lance. About half way TO the front he
met some litters bearing wounded. The
veteran, against the protest of the sur
geons, Immediately ordered his horse
and, after personally assisting the
wounded into the ambulance. mounted
and rode onward The men burst into
frantic cheers, which followed the gen.
eral all along the line. Correspondence
New York Tribune.
Into the thick of the fight he went, pallid
and sick and wan,
Borne in an ambulance to the front, a
ghostly wisp of a man;
But the fighting soul of a fighting man,
approved III the long ago,
Went to the front in that ambulance,
and the body of Fighting Joe.
Out from the front they were coming
back, smitten of Spanish shells
Wounded boys from the Vermont hills
and the Alabama dells.
Put them into this ambulance; I'll ride
to the front" he said
And he climbed to the saddle and rode
right ON, that little old eX-confcd.
From end to end of the long blue ranks
rose up the ringing cheers,
And many powder blackened face WAS
furrowed with sudden tears
As with flashing eyes and cleaning
sword, and hair and beard Of snow,
Into the hell of shot and shell rode little
old Fighting Joe.
Sick with fever and racked with pain, he
could not stay away.
For he heard the song of the yester-years
in the deep mouthed lannon's bay
He heard in the calling song of the guns
there was work for him to do,
Where his acountrys best blood Splashed
and flowed round the old red. white
and blue.
Fervered body and heart. this unions

Beats out in love and reverence-and to
each dear boy III blue
Who stood or fell mid the shot and shell
and cheered in the face of the foe
