STRONG Testimony.
This Is Skowhegan Testimony and

The report of the Maine railroad com
mission for the year ending June 80,
1897, is ready for publication During
the year ending June 30, 1885,. there was
a mes increase of mile OF steam roads
amounting to 40 miles. There were
1874 miles of broad gauge and 1879 of
narrow gauge. The report says:
There was an increase of the gross
earnings from operation of the roads
operated by steam in the State of Maine
/ as will be seen by the following COM
! parative statements. This gratifying
condition as to the traffic in this State is
shown by a liberal Increase in the trans

freight business gives positive evidence
of an improved condition OF the general
business of the State
Two convicted murderers suffered
/ the penalty of their crimes and were
hanged, Friday. One was Theodore
Durrant of California, who has been
called the criminal of the century, and
whose case is well known to the public.
All evidence went to show that he had
murdered two young girls, Blanch La
mont and Minnie Williams, yet he died
protesting his innocence. Tie other
was John O'Neil, Jr., who was adjudged
| guilty of the death of Mrs. Hattie Eve
Ign McCloud of Shelburne Falls, Mass,
on the night of Jan'y S, 1897. He, too,
protested his innocence to the last.
Protesting is not proving, however, and
a matter must be proved to stand in the
/ United States courts. In the case of
these two men, there was nothing TO
show their innocence and every evidence
of guilt.

Rheumatism and Neuralgia.

Painful contraction of nerve and muscle
ought to be known as neuralgia from the
fact that the sensitive nerves bear the pain,
while the muscles may look on and laugh at
nervous misery. The reason of the great
success of ANIDROSIS is from the fact that
whether the poison be acid or alkali that irri-
tates it must leave under this treatment. 1t
takes however, much longer time to remove
alkali deposits, which effect the small joints,
tendons, membranes, etc., and known as in
flammatory Rheumatism, than the acid which
affect the muscular portions Of the body.

Who Wonders At Heart Failure!

The heart las mighty work to perform,
|ven when the blood is pure but when loaded
fith impurity as is the case with the diseased
Pody, we find the heart struggling with the
CIRCULATION, which it has not power to force
trough the capillaries, thus leaving the net
york of nerves in state Of excitement, to the
|efeat of refreshing sleep, and in time, we are
|ccused Of having heart trouble; and if the
|verworked organ stops to rest the doctor
|ronounces it heart failure, instead of heart
isease as in olden times. But why is it that
very death is not called heart failure ?
Peath never occurs while the heart is at
PORK, therefore it is plain fact that every
|eath is the result of heart failure, whether
Fought about by lingering illness or with

After living for six months with a
broken neck, John Brennan uf Battery
place, Fort Hamilton, n. Y, died on
Tuesday night. Brennan, who was
teamster, was driving home in July last,
when he was thrown from his seat and
was picked up unconscious. Ii was
found that he had dislocated his spine.
His neck was set in plaster of Paris, and
he was hung in cradle for a month.
The operation proved successful, and he
was afterWard able to go about without
assistance. Somehow or other he again
sprained his neck about a month ago,
and ne failed until his death on Tuesday
night.

Dun's review says: In failures 1897
was not only the best year since 1892,
but on the whole, the best ever definitely
known. With 1922 failures, 10 number
lis per cent less than 1896, and $780,
58l,77l defaulred liabilities, $40 per
cent less than In 1896, the years banking
failures counted for $28, 249,7 700, and the
commercial failures were but 1881
with liabilities of 1854 1892, OIL, the aver
age per failure being only 81 $50, the
lowest ever known except III 1892. But
even in that year the failures during the
last half averaged liabilities of $10.477
per failure, while in the last half of 1897
the average was only $9593. The re.
turns by branches of business show that
in Is out Of 2S classes the failures were
lower than in any previous year of which
there is record, with especially large de-
crease 10 the great number of unclass-
fed manufacturing and trading failures.
Moreover, the year showed remarkable
decrease, as some other prosperous years
have shown increase, comparing the
second with the first half.

Very True.
Bangor Commercial.

The Republicans of Delaware, though
they outnumbered the Democrats con-
siderably at last years election and in
1896, have very little to show for their
numerical supremacy. The governor of
the State, all the State officers, and all
the judicial officers are Democrats. OF
Delaware's two representatives in the
United States Senate, one is gold and
the other silver Democrat. Delaware's
one representative in the House of Rep
resentatives is silver advocate, and the
Legislature has Democratic majority.
This result would seem almost paradox
cal in a State wherein the Republicans
outnumber the Democrats, were it not
for the fact that it is due to Republican
fractional divisions which have divided
the party forces more than similar quar-
rels have separated the Democratic
forces.

Stlck.to-it-te-ness the Pass Word !

Reason and common sense teach every
body that if big load of poisonous rubbish
is hauled off by one bath that the cart should
be taken to the pile of secretions just so long
as load can be secured, instead of declaring
that after taking one or even one dozen
baths the treatment had been tested without
benefit We must realize that a plugged
respiratory system must be set free before
the work of rejuvenating is fairly begun.

Certainly secretion of the waste tissues can
not continue, unless that mass of corrupt
matter in the glands and plugged pores is

them to cost s25O,0OO and the other
three $45, 900 each. The first four are
to be used in replacing the Seward, the
