More Relief Experienced in One
Days Treatment Than by a
Months Use of Old Remedies.

Did you ever before hear Of dyspep-
STA cure in which the manufacturers had
enough confidence to allow free test to
everyone before purchasinge
Did You ever before know of dys-
pepsia cure where the manufacturers re-
funded the money in case 1t failed to
curef This is the first time in the his
tory of medicine that it has ever been
done, and all persons afflicted should
profit by the lesson taught for no mat
ter what you read or hear. it is self
evident fact that the manufacturers Of

The friends of Curtis Guild are not in
clined to admit that their fsvorite is beat
en-. They claim that of the pledged DELE
gates Guild and Bates have about an
equal number, and that the contest will
be settled by 20 to 100 delegates who have
refused to commit themselves. On the
other hand the Bates men claim they
have a lead of 500 and that there ~ no
doubt whatever of his nomination.
There DOES not seem to hs much doubt
that the confidence of the Bates men is
well founded, hut the Guild men are not
going to give in until ballot is had. and
the majority of the delegates have voted
for Bates.

Stories of moose are just now attract .
ing considerable attention In this State.
Besides the noble animal killed BY a
locomotive on the Bridgton Sc Harrison
railroad, another was killed at West Sc.
bois on Sunday by the Bangor & Arocs-
took railroad. Ihe presence OF moose
In the woods of Cumberland county near
SO large a place as Bridgton indicates
that the animals must be quite thick.
A curious story comes from The Forks
of the kennebeo, voucheu for by one of
the State game wsrdens. Frank Durgin.
1T is stated" says Warden Durgin,
land apparently on good authority, that
par ties have been chased and teams stopped
by bull moose between here and Parlln-
pond. John Il. Durgin says one chased
him half mile between the parlin Pond
rold and Chase stream. John Kennedy
with tote team was stopped by one en-
the ten Thousand aurs tract. ii. W. Wade
d Ed Lessor while coming from Pariin
pond on nights OF the 9th were stopped
about 20 minutes, and the parlin pond
stage driver claims to have been cha ed y
one about mile above the place where
Wade saw that one. He says he ran abr q
aside the stage and horse about 800 rods. -
Stories of the aggressivoness OF moose
are always taken with considerable allow
ance when the man who alleges the at
tack has ultimately killed the moose, es-
peoially II the killing OCCURS in close time.
But in this case the animal seems to
have bean unframed.

If Senator Hanna's rebuke of the men
who are urging Dewey to become can
didate for the Presidency was meant to
pro ect Dewey it was hardly called for.

The situs tlon In the Transvaal seems
to DO stesdily progressing toward COL
lision. Indeed it is not at all improbable
that a collision has taken place already.
If the Beers have made up their minds
that war IL inevitable they will hardly
wait for England to strike the first

sent to South Africa to render any effeo-

IT ere seems to be disposition on the
part Of Admiral Sohley's friends to ex.
tract another grievance from the fact
that he was not, next to Dewey, the most
conspicuous figure in the New York
demonstration. 1t Is to be hopsd they
will hold 1t in check. The public ha.
grown very tired of the constant efforts
of Sohley's misguided admirers to make
1t appear that he is not getting fair
treatment from the navy department, and
1t Is clear that they have injured the
admiral in the estimation of the people
Indeed the fact that the admiral himself
tookspains to inform the navy depart.
ment that the appeals in his bshalf had
been without his knowledge, seems to
indicate that he also is tired of il

VISITORS TO THE MAINE.
Very Few Spanish Officers Went on

Until the night of the explosion moth
ing whatever was developed to show
that there was any special need for CX-
treme vigilance. Many EeopIc visited
the ship. chiefly in parties. Ii is rr0b-

were chiefly representatives OF the re.
fined class in Havana. who tool: great

Of the situation. There must lave been
200 or 400 Of them on board from time
TO time. They were warmly demon
strative towards us. and at first were
inclined TO ask us to return their visits

but ] always explained that my posi-

Spaniards ard the Cubans. hut that I

FATALITIES Of the ship. I often made in
OTiries in n rather iocular way rs to
the politics Of the ladies who visited the
ship. The ladies Tointed out to ne Wis

] have my doubts whether any Of them
were really in sympathy with the Sp' n
iards. I let it be known everywhere

1t was evident that the Spaniards would
not visit us socially; they would do
their official duty, but would not go be-

I finally decided to make a very spe-
cial effort. knew two charming young
Spanish ladies of American descent on
their mothers side. Both were engaged
to he married TO Spanish army officers.
Their father had been Spanish officer.
All their associates had been in Spanish
military circles. They assured me that
it was a mistake to suppose that the
Spaniards would not visit us in n friend
~ way. To demonstrate their view
they offered to bring aboard the Maine
on certain day party of Spanish Of
ficers. The ladies came at the appointed
time, their mother being one of the
party. but with them there was only
one Spanish officer. and he was in what
we might call civil branch of the
army. Each lady rave a somewhat diff
ferent excuse for the absence Of the
officers. which only served to make It
clear that The officers would not come
at all. and that there was general I'M
GerstandirG that the ship should not
be visited by Spanish officers except Of
