The big, hearty, healthy man is a. continual
irritation TO his dyspeptic friend. Constipation
is the root of ninetenths of the. sickness of
men, and of large proportion of the sickness

hard as she can to throw off impurities, and to
force out poisonous refuse matter. When there
is an impeachment, DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
set the wheels working again without any

fui, efficient way. There is nothing violent
about their action, and yet 1t is just as certain
as if 1t were twice as violent. "Iou do not be-

and better than any other pill for the cure of
constipation, headache and kindred derange-

Son of City Clerk Wyman, of Ellis
worth, Dies in Lewiston.
Eben H. Wyman, son Of City Clerk Levi
B. Wyman, Of Ellsworth, was found dead
in his room at Lewiston yesterday morn
ing. Death is believed to have been due
to an overdose of morphine taken to re-
lieve pain.
Mr.. Wyman was twenty-eight years OF
age. Since boy he had lived witt an
uncle in New Hampshire. He went to
Lewiston several years ago and entered
the employ of Orlando S. Ham, and a
short time ago entered into partnership
with George B. Haskell in the seed and
agricultural implement business. The
firm name was George B. Haskell & Co.
The Lewiston Journal says: "Mr. Wy
man was active, energetic, happy and sue
cessful. He liked his business; took an
intense interest in it and as Mr.. Haskell
said: 4 would have trusted him wit b a
stack OF green backs as high as my head
if ! had had it, To his honesty and in
tegrity OF character every one agrees, and
his death comes therefore as a profound
shock That his death was accidental is
the firm and undertaking opinion OF all
who knew him, for he was so happily sit
uated in life that 1t could have been
nothing but Joy for him to live"
The body will be brought to Ellsworth
for interment.

THE SHORE LINE.
New Locomotives Have Been Re-

The engines are from the shops of the

Y, and are OF a new pattern with three
driving wheels and many improved ideas
in construction. One weighs fifty tons,
the her fitty-nine tons, he latter with
tender and equipment having a total
weight OF seventy-five tons. They are
the first two of an order for eight new
locomotives to be delivered to the Wash
ington county road during the mont his
OF June and July.
The city of Calais has sold its interest in
the John p. Mcdonald Construction Co.
for $4,000. a portion OF this road will
form a part of the new Washington
county railroad. The price received for
the road is low, but condition Of the
sale was that the machine and repair
shops of the new road are to be located in
Calais.

booming. More men and teams are
needed hut the crews on the work are
making good progress. One contractor

We will invade their territory, capture and de-
stroy their towns and force them into subjec
ton. Spanish valor is the same to-day that it
was in the days of old, and we can see in the
near future the proud flag of Spain again afoat
upon every sea and planted again upon the
continent of America. Once more Spain will
rule the world as she did In the days gone by.
This is a fair sample of the stuff
which Spanish papers and officials
feed to the ignorant masses, who
have no other sources of information.
This is Spanish diplomacy at home.
By keeping the masses in ignorance
of the truth, Spain hopes to save her
self from internal disaster. viii she
succeed? No. This could not be so
confidently asserted if the Spanish
masses were to depend for informa-
ton in the future on the same sources
as at present. Even defeat might be
explained away by the resourceful
Spanish government, but for the fact
that there are in Spain to-day indi-
viduals who know the truth, and
whose personal interests and ambi-
tons will be served by letting the
truth be known.
The spark of truth to the excitable
Spanish masses would be as spark
of fire to gunpowder. Spanish defeat
will be the signal for applying the
match

grunt, but when they put electric lights,
telephone, a typewriter, and other new
tangled, lezy-men's contrivances in the

calamity squeals, and the squealers began
to cock their eye knowingly toward that

the selectmen are through their work as

To weigh 500 pounds and have
waist measure of 4 feet = inches, and
to be, besides, an excellent cook, a

Atchison, Of Opdyke, i'll. Miss Atchi-
son thinks no more of picking up a
barrel of salt weighing 300 pounds and
putting it on her shoulder than most
yound ladies would think OF shoulder
ing golf stick. In spite of her ex-
cessive avoirdupois Miss Mollie wears
only Ne. glove and a shoe of the
same number. Her mother says that
she has broken down nearly every bed
in the house and has cracked most of
the chairs, but as she makes herself
very useful indoors and out, milks the
cows, hoes the garden and helps her
father run crosscut saw, these dam
ages to the furniture are viewed with
q lenient eye.-Leslie's Weekly
