Session.

ing special all-day meeting, Friday,
March 10. The day was clear and
pleasant and all that could be wished
for. Visitors from the neighboring

and Capitol We're present, with a large
delegation from Readfield. The third
and fourth degrees We're conferred

After dinner the meeting was opened
to the public at 1.30 L. NJ. The first on
the programme was lecture by Dr. G.
NJ. Twitchell of Augusta. on The Citi-
zen of Tomorrow" He fully sustained
his high reputation as good lecturer,
and was listened TO with close atten-
tion by his audience from beginning to
close. He said in part that it makes
all the difference to us as citizens in
the world today. which way we are
looking and spoke of the changes in
the past century, in the State of Maine.
along all the lines of work, of the
changes in the methods of lighting our
homes and in the modes of travelling
He then said, To-day is ours, yester-
day is gone. Which way are we fac
ing? Are we living in today recogniz-
ing its responsibilities. or in tomorrow
recognizing its hopes and PROMISES"
He mentioned the competition that con-
fronts the citizen today, and said that
the farmer of '99 will have to go to
Mother Earth with 4 greater energy 10
be a successful tiller of the soil than he
did years ago. He also said that life
is great transformer but not a
creator. He dwelt upon the mission of
the grange in New England, and es-
pecially in the State of Maine, in
breaking up the state of isolation into
which the people had drifted, and of
cooperation as the work of the
grange. He remarked upon the edu-
cational features of the present, and
the Importance of teaching the young
to choose good literature. In his clos
ing words he exhorted the citizen of
today to have more faith in himself. to
realize more fully that he has work
to do in the world, and to strive to be-
come better and nobler in the world,
in the grange, and in the home.

"DEATH in
THE POT"

"Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the enti1 family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But 1t was
soon forgotten. The moral OF 1t is, that
the purest of food, put into a foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be-
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
Of f1uttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alimentary tract.
The intimate relation, of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to " start
with the stomach" 1t is upon this
principle that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal discovery eHcCtS - many Anu SuCn

ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.

Yesterdays Election.

The municipal election in this city.
yesterday, passed off very quietly. The
result, as was anticipated, was a
swesping Republican victory from one
end Of the city to the other. BY vote
Of two to one the citizens of Augusta
registered their approval of the present
pressed their desire that the same hon.
est, progressive reliable old party be
kept in control and the same policy
carried out. There was no reason why
the voters Of Augusta should seek or
desire change, and the false and mis-
leading statements of the Democratic
workers did not blind their eyes to the
true situation. Augusta knows well
that the local Democracy is no more to
be trusted in the control of city AFFAIRS
than the Democracy of the State and
nation are to be trusted in the control
OF State and national affairs. Like the
State and the nation. this city is salts
fled with the present party in power.
and proposes to keep it in power. -.
Undoubtedly the Augusta Democrats
had their strongest and most popular
man in the field for mayor. Mr.. Leigh
ton certainly made a strong man to
lead their ticket and polled more than
their usual party strength. But in
giving Mr.. Lane his magnificent ma
jority, yesterday, the voters of this
city made no mistake. He is one of
the leading and most respected citi-
zens of Augusta, prominently identified
with it's business interests, and he has
had an exceptionally long and valuable
experience in city affairs. AS mayor
once before he made a good record,
and he possesses every qualification
for the discharge of the important du-
ties which will again devolve upon
him. He will be supported in both
branches by sound, conservative, rep
resentative men, and can be depended
upon to administer the affairs of the
city honestly and wisely.
Augusta is to be congratulated upon
the result of yesterdays election. No
campaign was waged and no canvass
made on the Republican side. but the
result shows that the city can be de-
pended upon to do what is right. The
large Republican vote is a deserved
tribute to the popularity and ability of
Mr.. Lane and to the work of the sue
cessful administration of Mayor
Haynes.
