Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dioitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart
failure, eto. They used August Flower to
clean ont the system and STOP fermen-
tation Of undigested food. regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that IL all they took when feeling du1
and bad with headaches and other aches.

1t will be seen by consulting the map
that the last fighting in the Philippines
was within twelve miles of Manila and
only few miles from Cavite. which
Dewey occupied over seventeen months
ago. The territory we are now fighting
for has been in our hands once. but had
to be abandoned for lack OF TROOPS to
garrison 1t. When our army is sweiled
by the reenforoements that are soon to be
sent we may hope to make some decided
progress in the occupation of the country
Up TO the present time we have made

AT Skowhsgsn Abbie Jennie Ashs, of
Fairfield, has been bound over TO the
grand jury, charged with the unspeakable
crime of poisoning little three ear -old
girl, named Lottie York. There was
testimony to show that the Ashe woman
gave the little child pieces of candy that
looked like waters, and the analysis of
Professor Robinson, of Bowdoin College,
disclosed enough arsenic In the stomach
to cause death. Most murders are done
from a motive that is intelligibls. Jeal-
ousy, revenge or cupidity are frequent
causes; and the victims of such murders
are usually persons whose courses OF con.
duct have given reasons for the growth
Of those passions in the disposition OF the
murderer. But An Innocent child of three
years could arouse none of the passions
that ordinarily stimulate the unfortunate
possessor to the srime of murder. The
putting away of sol innocent a victim
must have been cold blooded PERFORM
anoe, intended as means to serve some
other purpose. Goodness and calculation
seem to be the essence of the crime.

will turn South Africa into a hell for
many years to come, Every Boer, he
says, is ready to fight and the women are

the Transayal will be the signal for tbs
destruction of Johannesburg and all the
gold mining machinery, to restore which
will cost at least SIS. 900. 600. In the face
of such proba bilities as these it is not
strange that the British ministry shows
disposition to go slow.

The recent killing of moose on vari-
GUS Maine railroads, notably the Bangor
& Aroostook, has stirred up Commission
or Carleton to serve notice on the railroad
that he and his associates ''oan't longer
submit to the indisoriminats slaughter
Of moose by trains running over and kill
ing them" MIR. Carleton says that the
state will furnish two good reliable
wardens to patrol the tracks on railroad
bicycles, IL the company win do the same,
to keep the tracks clear OF moose and
deer. and prevent this slaughter by the
trains running over and killing and
mangling them. To the epistls of the
game commissioner the railroad makes
reply through General Passenger Agent
g. NJ. Houghton. "If you persist
says Mr.. Horghton to the commissioner,
sin having your beastly game run up
against our rules and regulations you
must expect the damage to them and to
your reposs of mind to continue. Your

droves belonging to you hereafter OBJ

pense of their determination. Mr..
Houghton then goes on to publish certain
rules and regulations governing the
taking of large game by engineers. " The
following is sample Of these rules:
No engineers Will he allowed to run
down more than one moose or two deer
In single open season. IL is preferred
by the management that these should be
taken separately. Under no oiroum-
stances Will the killing OF moose and
deer at one clip be permitted. II late In
the open season any engineer has taken
no deer he may, under arrangements
with the section foreman that bucks shall
be sorted out, make a smash at two.

backed for "a second trial, and neither
moose or deer may be killed by back.

Senator Hoar comes back from Europe
with his opinions regarding the Philip
pines unchanged. Referring to the ac-
tion of the Senate In regard to the treaty
he says:
I believe the feeling of regret in
America is strengthening that we did not
make the treaty provisions relating to
the Philippines like those which relate to
Cuba. 1t seemed TO me at the time, and
all my reflection since has confirmed me
In this opinion, that II we had precisely
the same provisions In the treaty regard
ing the Philippines as we have as regards
Cuba, We should have had no war. In
stead of lasting entity we should have the
undying gratitude OF that people. We
should have had everything we could ask
or wish In the way of trade advantage
there. They would have taken our ad-
vice In the framing of their institutions.
We should have sent our scholars and
teachers TO instruct them In good govern
ment and the ways of civilization, as
we did to Japan. We should have kept
other nations from interfering with them
We should have aided them In keeping
order, and there would have been q
nation In the East differing from japan
IN the fact that 1t would have been o re
ablic, and we should have had the glory
forever cf.. n wing been their liberators
and benfaoiors. / should never have con-
sented 60 allow them to 60 back under
the domination of Spain or to allow other
foreign nations to intsrfere with them.
This opinion, think, has been largely
strt ngthened mong American people by
the events OF lass summer and spring. /
think IL is the opinion of the majority of
the An erioan people today.
While 1t is too late to amend the treaty
1t is not too late for Congress to
declare that 1t intends to pursue the same
policy toward the Philippines that 1t ia
committed to In the case OF Cuba. such

-Reports from the headwaters of the
Kennebec as to the large cut of lumber
are equalled by the estimates from the
headwaters Of the Penobscot. Already
the cutters are at " ork, something un.
precedented In that region for this season.
1t is probable that 20. 600. 900 feet will be
cut on the Penobscot river and its branch
es this winter. This is $4,000, 900 feet
more than last year. On tho Kennebeo
the cut viii probably be nearly go, 600, 900
feet, including many millions of feet Of
pulp wood. On the Fen obscot the puIp
timber Is not reckoned in with the spruce.
pine and hemlock. The Gu. in the Dead
river region will be about 40, 900, 200 feet.
Operations In that section will be much
easier this year on account of the many
improvements that have been made along
the river. The biggest single concern
doing business in the Maine woods this
year is that of Cunliffe Bros. Of Fort
Kent They will outl 10. .OO0, 600 feet of
timber on the Aliegash. They will sm-
ploy 800 men and more than 80 horses.
They have l76 men already In the woods
and with the remainder of the crew win
occupy ten camps. Some of the lumber
men would have US believe that the
woods can hold their own against all
these depredations; but even II the ax-
perts do talk reassuringly, the lay man
will still havs his DOUBTS.
