With the cases were the tubes, so
that now the heaviest part of rhe ma

of the generators, which will not ar

plant will have progressed far enough
so that they may be installed.
At the present time nothing is being

busy all the time. however. arranging
the details of the work. When the
weather is suitable the work will be

Although the wheels are not needed

mOLlNEUx SCORES A POINT.
Judge Blanchard Decides that Counsel Nay
Inspect Grand Jury Minutes.

New York, March 2l.-Judge Blan-
chard in general sessions. today. grant
ed the application of counsel for Ro-
land b. MolineuX. accused of having
poisoned Mrs. Kate j. Adams. for per-
mission TO inspect the minutes of the
grand jury that indicted Molneux.
Judge Blanchard in his decision says:
Among the reasons pointed out by the
defendant why this application should
be granted. 1t appears that at the in
quest the district attorney insisted that
the testimony given by the defendant
and other witnesses Indicated that the
defendant had committed the alleged
murder but 1t does not appear but
that the defendant. had he been per-
mitted To do SO. might have furnished
testimony in his own behalf which
would have tended 10 explain Or multi
~ the testimony adverse to him. And
the defendants counsel. in his moving
affidavit. makes allegations which in
effect. charges that the Indictment in
question was found upon evidence that
is insufficient in law to sustain it..
This contention of the defendant is sus-
tanned by abundant authority. If the
indictment was found without sufficient
legal evidence to sustain ii it is not
an indictment in contemplation of Law
and cannot stand.
We find nothing in the record before
US upon the application to indicate that
the learned district attorney has nos
fully performed his duty as public
prosecutor in faithful and efficient
manner. but 1t has not been shown
that the inspection by the defendant
of The minutes of the proceedings of
the grand jury upon which the indict-
ment against him was found will in
any way be detrimental to the peoples
cause or to the due administration of
justice or against public policy and
after a careful consideration of the ar
guments of counsel and of the facts as
presented by the motion papers. ! am
of the opinion that in the interest of
the proper administration of justice
and fairness to the defendant the mo-
ton for an inspection of the minutes
of the grand jury should be granted

THE OLD WAY !
Of Treating Dyspepsia AMI Indigestion BY
Disilng Dangerous and Useless
One. A

We say the old way. but really It IS
a very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians as
we'll consider the first step to take il
attempting to cure indigestion Is to
diet. either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others, or to greatly d.
minish the quantity usually taken, IN
other words, the starvation plan Is by
many supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again. but still the
moment dyspepsia makes its appearance
course of dieting Is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t Is
foolish and unscientific TO recommend
dieting or starvation to- a man suffer-
ing from dyspepsia. because indiges-
ton itself starves every organ and
every nerve and every fibre in the
body.
What the dyspeptic wants is album
dant nutrition, which means plenty OF
good. wholesome. well cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
TO digest 1t. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases OF
dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty OF wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t
for him. In this way the system is
nourished and the overworked stomach
rested. because the tablets Will di-
gest the food whether The stomach
works or not One OF these tablets VIII
digest 5000 grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist viii tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the pur-
est and safest REMEDY for stomach
troubles and every trial makes one more
friend for this excellent preparation.

coLsY ATHLETIC MEET.
Already Great Interest In The Aanusi csmpsti-
ton. The Ii st Of this Term. u

The Colby boys are beginning to take
great interest In the annual athletic
meet which Will be held in City hall,
the last day OF the term. Cotton Is
picked az winner in the short dashes
by those who are acquainted with the
inside of the workings Of the meet. He
has alwhys proved himself to be a
speedy man. There is fear among his
friends. however, that he may be hard
pushed by some OF the members OF the
freshman class. Among the freshman
class there is hope that Crawshaw and
Drew may be good for at least second
and third places.
Scannell is looked on as a winner in
putting the shot. Among the fresh
man class Wood and Koch are picked
as possible winners.
In the hurdles, Cotton il picked as
one of the most available men. He has
always proved himself an expert In
that line Of work. The members of the
freshman class are said, however. 10
have some fast men who are liable To
make the event most interesting.
In the pole vault. Fogg and Rice are
looked on as the most promising men.
The contest is thought to be so even
between the two that IL will be hard
work 10 pick the winner at this time.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that Stevens will carry off all the hon
ors in the running high jump. He has
already proved that he is one of the
strongest men for the position and one
who can. make things interesting for
even the best men in the field. His
record at Bowdpin, last year. makes
him man who is generally feared. es-
peeially so since he has broken the
state record.
In the class drills there is the same
uncertainty that there has always been.
Each class Is doing it's best TO carry
OF the honors and as the result no one
thinks for an instant Of trying 10 pick
the winners. The drills this year

Now that Oakland has her new sys-
tenn of water works in. the local insur
ance agents are looking for a reduction
in rates in that place. On account of
the lack of a fire apparatus in the VII
lage. the rates there have been very
high in comparison with those in this
place. One of the insurance agents i,
speaking of the matter. yesterday. said
that he thought the rates would no. be
changed until July. The plant has not
yet been accepted by the town. and an
til it is accepted the rates will remain
as they are at the present time. II Is
thought that as soon as the hydl'i,nt

thought that in some sections the rate
will be about half what it is at the
