BURGLARS WERE DISCREET.
A Growing Dog and Man With Club
Respectfully Heard.

A few days ago there was an attempt
made by burglars to break into the store
Of Bassett & Eaton at Winslow, also used
as the United States post Office, but they
failed to make an entrance because of the
iron grating inside the windows
The same night they visited the Maine
Central station and tried to make an en-
trance there. The station agent, Frank
Nelson, sleeps in the station building and
he was awakened about 2 O'Clock n the
morning by what seemed to be the gnaw-
ing of rats. Growing more wide awake
he discovered that the sound was not
caused by rats but by somebody attempt
ing to out tbs glass of one of the windows
with some sharp instrument. 1t then
dawned upon him that burglars We're
about and were using diamond TO cut
through a window pane. About this time
his bull dog, whichsis his constant COM
panion, made up his mind that tnere was
something wrong and began to grow and
bark.
Mr.. Nelson naturally did not care to
take any unnecessary chances OF stopping
a bullet by going out and interruptlng
the men, but he shouted to them to deslst
from their work or he would practlce on
them with his own gun and would also
let loose the bull dog upon them; Ih1s
warning was quite sufficient and the men
hastily departed.
IL is reported that little while after
the men left the station they tried their
luck again at the houee of Michael Haley,
but were frightened away again, this
time nv Mr. Haley's son-in-law, who
started out after them with club, the
burglars fleeing at the sound of his ap.

DANGER IN SODA.
eri Gus Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex-
cessive Use.

Common soda is all right in Its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for medicine. and
people who use it as such viii some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, hab-
it which thousands of people practice al
most daily, and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated IN the tntestines, causing death by
Inflammation Or peritonitis.
= Dr.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure fo~ sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant
TO taste and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements essential
to good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
Dr.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases Of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action OF
the heart and liver They are not cath
artic, but intended only for stomach dis
eases and weakness and will be found re-
liable in any stomach toruble except
cancer of the stomt.ch. All druggists sell
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at Boots. per
package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. G. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point
sDEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:--I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. 1
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured Of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh.
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female trou bles."
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

STARVED INTO SUBMISSION

Brunswick, March 5 1T is stated here
that another attempt will be made,
probably on Monday next, to start up the
Cabot cotton mills the employees of which
have been striking on account of the cut
down since January IL.
A number of French Canadian strikers
have been reduced to condition OF
poverty and are willing to go to work
under the new schedule. The town has
assisted several needy families. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss to the operatives since
the strike has amounted to nearly $50, 900.
A certain percentage of the mill hands
are opposed to the movement to have thu
strike declared off and when the gates
are opened it is probable that there will
be vacancies in many of the departments.

The State Board Raises Values.

OLYMPIA, Sept. I7.-The aggregate
value of lands in the State of Wash
ington as returned by the county
boards of equalization amounts to
1901 ,971, but as valued by the state
board of equalization they amount to
%5,756,359. The aggregate value of
Improvements upon land was placed
at $10,330,311, but reduced by the
state board to $7,267 ,6S7. It will be
observed that the land valuation has
been raised, while the improvements
have been lowered.

Bad Either Way.

The paramount issue in the cam
paign, according to the Fusionists
is to be the initiative and referendum.
The pops, at their convention got away
with the name, the platform and flu
sion; the Democrats took the pie.
The transaction puts the Democrats
in peculiar position. They must
now come out squarely and say they
believe in the initiative and referen-
dunn. If they do not, then the Pops.
will not support them, and if they do
the Democrats and Silver Republicans
will know that they are lying and will
not support them. This will make a
crossfire that the Democratic office
seekers will hardly withstand.
The fact is that the Democrats do
not believe in the initiative and refer
endum, and in accepting that as the
paramount issue they are simply tri-
fling with the Populists. The Pops.
are aware of the fact that the free sill
yer l6 to l issue is dead beyond resur-
rection, and the attempt of "Wheat
Chart Jones" to resurrect it strikes
the Pops. as amusing. And if they
know anything at all they know that
the people of Washington are too busy
to fool with the initiative and referen-
dunn. Just imagine the farmers of
Columbia County dropping their work
every week or two to attend an elect
ion for the purpose of initiating, en-
acting and repeating laws.-Columbia

c. d. King in discussing the idea OF
local option in municipal taxation, in
the Olympian, makes plain another
point OF uncertainty:
"There is another element OF uncer-
tainty in this proposed amendment.
1t purposes to abrogate-eRe time hen
ored rule that all kinds and classes of
property shall contribute to the sup
port of the government; but it does
not showwhat class or classes of prop
erty are to be made the exclusive sub
jects of taxation. Under this clause
of the constitution, if this proposed
amendment shall be adopted, the en-
tire revenue fol- state, county or other
purposes could be collected from any
one calss of property, no difference how
small the amount or value of that
class as compared with the rest of the
property in the county, city or other
municipality, and no difference wheth-
er that class of property is greatly or
slightly benefited by government.
Thus all taxation in any county or
city might under its terms, be placed
on merchandise, or liquors. or upon
mortgages or other securities, or on
improvement on real estate, or on land
itself, or On sheep or cattle or on rail-
roads. By majority vote of the
electors of any county, city or school
district any one class of property
could be literally taxed out of exist
ence. Supposing the people of some
county should conclude to relieve
themselves of taxation at the expense
of the railroads it would be, under the
provisions of this proposed amend
ment, perfectly competent for them to
vote the entire burdens of taxation
for that county upon the railroads ly-
Ing within 1T, though there were no
more than five miles of track within
it. Or supposing the sheep owners of
some of our grazing counties should
be in Il majority, in order to rid the
county ofcattle and horses so they
could have the range all TO themselves,
they could lay all taxation upon cat
tie and horses; or the cattle and horse
men could serve the sheep men in the
same manner. My knowledge of the
feuds that everywhere exist between
these two classes of our citizens leads
me to think that in some of our coun-
ties such use might be made of the
taxing power were the amendment
adopted.

this morning the first American flag
in Havana was hoisted on the flagstaff
of the Trocha hotel, the headquarters
of the American evacuation commits

at the entrance to the grounds. Col.
Cloud and Capt Payne stood on the
roof of the hotel on either side of the
flagstaff. At 10 o'clock sharp quar-
termaster of the steamer Resolute
hoisted the flag, which was unfurled
and floated proudly in the breeze. All
the members of the commission raised
their hats and cheered the flag. The
approaches to the grounds at either
side of the street were patrolled by
squads of the guarada civile, in order
that the colors might not be molested.

TIE Spokane Outburst has made
an investigation of the populist claim
Tor an increased price of state war
rants, and punctures the,bubble in the
following manner: zone of the claims
OF the fusion party is that under it's
rule the price of state warrants has
been raised from away below par to a
premium, and this claim is about as
reli ! IL as IS other claims. If anv
one Will take the pains 10 investigate,
he will f III that for the last four
years, excepting short period-dur-
ing the campaign of two years ago
the price OF state warrants has remain
ed practically the same. We took ac
casion to examine the books of the
Spokane and Eastern Trust Company
OF this city, which is one of the largest
buyers in the state. We found tina /
the following were the average prices
paid July 1894, par to 101. January
1895, lO1. July 1895, par to 1Ol.
January 1896, 1O1. July 1895. 1OI
January 1897, SO. July 1897, par to
lOl. January 1898, 1O1 to IO2. july
1898, lol to lO2. From September to
January 1897 the market price was
from 30 to SO, which was due to the
lear IN financial circles that Bryan
might be elected. Hence if fusion
party rule restored the price of war
rants, 1t simply restored what it first
destroyed. But the claim is all bosh
and is sample of the political thun-
der the fusion party is making all
along down the line.n

west is too closely identified with her
great numbering interests not to make
a vigorous protest against efforts be-
ing made to abolish duties upon lum-
Der, and again open the way to unre-
stricted competition from British Co.
lumbia. The joint tariff commission
in session at Quebec is being pressed by
the Canadians for concessions in this
line, and certain eastern interests are
seconding the suggestion in the inter-
est OF cheapening the lumber product.
A strong presentation of the case
should be made to prevent any action
which will prove so unfortunate for
our progress, and serve to impair the
value of our natural resources. Back
ed by the lumber interests of the Mis-
sissippi Valley territory and the south

ment can be organized.-W. c.. Trade.
The populists may pile columns of
figures upon other columns to show
the people OF this state that they have
saved money in the management of
public affairs but all their claims are
fraudulent, as is sufficiently proved by
the receipts issued to taxpayers this
year. We believe that never before
has taxation in the state been heavier,
IN spite Of the fact that there are no
longer any exemptions. There ought
to be no room for doubt in the minds
of men who have paid their taxes this
year on the score of populist economy,
and we believe as matter of fact,
there is none. We anticipate that the
answer of the people on election day
to the lying claims of the "reformers'
will be a terrific back handed swine

TINES were never better, even in the
boom days, than they are at Aberdeen
today, says a correspondent to the
Oregonian. The people we're never
before SO busy and SO prosperous, and,
while no fortunes are being made,
every one is doing well. The saw and
single mills are all running steadily.
with larger crews than ever before.
and loggers are rushed to keep them
supplied with timber, paying the best
wages In the state. The run of sal
mon is unusually large this year, at a
time when short catches at other
points are the rule, making the value
OF the catch nearly double that of
other years. That the population is
increasing is evidenced by every home
being occupied, while new ones are
being erected.
The fusion platform adopted at FL
