Business Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S. Weekly Review of
ing the first quarter of 1890 have been in
amount of liabilities not more than
about S26, 690,33 against $31, TO- 142
last year. Mile the latter returns may
increase the amount for the quarter a
little the complete return which will be
given next week will be very remarkable
in comparison with that of any previous
year.
Business is not at present improving.
There has been something like check,
partly the result of heavy buying since
Jan. l, to anticipate the market, partly
caused by the uncertainty about the
operation of many combinations, and a
shade of doubt about foreign affairs also
had some influence.
A period of transition from one own
ership and management to another and
from one industrial system to another,
when it effects many hundred establish
ments throughout the country, inevita-
bly, causes some hesitation in business.
A little later the many hundred concerns
may be doing more business than ever,
as they were just before combinations
were effected. But at the point of
transition nobody knows just what to
expect.
Thus it appears. the formation of
trusts and the making of many comUina-
tions of business. concerns has an Vnfa-
vorabe effect upon business. 1t is very
natural this condition of change and I'M
certainty should retard business opera.

The Gold That GlitterS.
DO RICHES MAKE HAPPINESS, OR
DOES HEALTH MAKE
WEALTH.

The richest man cannot always be
said to be the most successful, for true
success is not possible without happi-
ness. Many a wealthy man would give
all he now possesses to have the health
and happiness of young athlete:
Health is not hard to get and keep II
good Judgment is used in caring for and
supplying the needs of the system.
Nature often needs assistance; you
sometimes abuse nature by overtaxing
your nerves, your brain, or your body,
and you haven't time to relax, and
take the rest that you need You must
have outside help. Pabst Malt Extract,
The BEST" Tonic, will supply the ex-
ira fuel, food, and strength; it is abso-
lutely pure-an unequalled assistant to
nature in giving health, vitality and
strength. 1t will make you eat and
sleep well, and cause you to feel like
yourself again. or perhaps, better than
you ever felt in your life. The Best"
Tonic was awarded the 100 points OF
perfection at the Worlds Fair. and was
the only Malt Extract which received
that honor. Your nearest druggists car

SPEAK OUT,
The Search Light Of Publicity Is
Pleasing SkOWhegan People.

Publicity is what the people want
Let the people speak on the subject.
There is too much claim-too little
proof.
Claims made by strangers are not
proof.
Claims endorsed by strangers are not
proof
There is only one kind of proof for
Skowhegan citizen.
The experience of people we know.
When friends and neighbors endorse,
Make public statement of their case,
There can be no question about such
evidence.
This is the proof we have,
Which backs every box of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
No other kidney pills, no other kidney
remedy
Can produce such proof
Here is the case of many we have.
Mr.. A. Sedgley of Pine street, an EN-
ploye at Mitchelrs step ladder factory,
says: my first experience with lame
and aching back was some years ago,
but just previous to using Doan's Kid
ney Pills | had another attack of it.
For five days WAS unable to leave the
house. A physician prescribed for me
and did me some good, but | was not
cured by good bit for my back contin-
ued to ache. l stood it for two weeks
steadily before l decided to try Doan's
Kidney Pills and as l was getting no
better got box at Folsom's drug store
and commenced using them. The dull
aching across the loins was reduced
some each day until it entirely disap
peared. | have not feltit since. Doan's
Kidney Pills did all that could be ex-
pected of them in my case. This leads
me to express confidence in them as a
kidney remedy"

The Red CrOss.

The Red Cross Is now establishing in
Cuba, at the request OF the Government,
Hospital Service to assist in the care of
the sick and homeless people of the
island. In the Philippines, owing to the
active operations now being conducted
by the American Army, and the ap-
proach of the rainy season 10 the tropics,
they are increasing the hospital staff
already there, assisting in the care of
the sick and wounded
Iu carrying out successfully these mis-
sons the Red Cross will depend entirely
upon the active cooperation of friends
aud the generous support of the Ameri.
can people-that support and co-opera-
ton which in the eighteen years of the
existence and labors of the Red Cross in
this country has never for a moment
failed nor faltered.
Besides funds, the need of which
always goes without saying, will be re-
quired medicines; delicate, wholesome
and sustaining food for persons too feeble
to work, and who would be subjects for
hospital life, II the hospitals existed for
them; suitable clothing for the same
class of unfortunate people, men, women
and children; bedding without stint, and
all that goes to make up the comfort, so
far as possible, of hospital life.
All checks, drafts, p. o. orders, ETC.,
for the maintenance of the Red Cross
hospital work in Cuba and in the Philip
pines should be sent to 900 F. street, n.
w. Washington, and made payable TO
John Joy Edison, Treasurer, or to the
American National Red Cross.
General directions for the shipment of
supplies will be given as soon as ar
engagements can be completed. Pack
ages that may conveniently be sent to
Cuba by way of New Orleans, should be
shipped, with freight prepaid, to the
Louisiana Red Cross, New Orleans, La,
who will act as receiving and forwarding
agents at that port.
The Red Cross is worthy and eff
cient society and money or goods com.
mitted to its care will be faithfully APP
propriated for the good of our soldiers
in Cuba and the Philippines.

pleasantly remembered by our citizens
as a former member of the firm of
Hutchns & Lewis, died at his home in

sumption, after an illness covering about
IA months. On account of impaired
health he retired from the above named

wife, he visited Colorado, with a hope
that the change of climate would prove
beneficial AS he did not improve, he
returned to Maine and TO his early home
in Clinton, where surrounded by his boy
hood friends and administered to by a
loving wife and mother, he fingered un-
til the above date. The hearts of a host
of warm friends of the deceased in this
place reach out in loving sympathy
towards the bereaved widow at this un-
timely taking away at an early age of
one of The most promising lives it has
been the writer's privilege to know
His age was u years. The. funeral SER
vices occurreu from his late residence in

Kennebec Journal: Trade is "follow-
ing the flag in Cuba in a way which
cannot but be gratifying to Americans.
Full returns of the commerce of the
port of Havana for the month of Janu-
airy show that of the steamers cleared
from that port SO were American, 26
were Spanish, u were English and 40
belonged to various countries. OF the
steamers which entered Havana 81 were
Americans, 81 were Spanish, Is were
English and So were from other coun-
tries OF the sailing vessels entered A

Here is pleasant proof that the stars

chant ships follow the protection of the
American war flag and the extension of
American political influence.
