Important Communica-
tion Recently Sent Out
from Washington.
Af!idayits of Company Com
manders to be Secured.

Adj. Gen, Richards has received Q
reIpy from the WAr department. relative
10 the pay due the men Of the First
Maine volunteers from the time they re-
oeiyed their pay to the time OF actual
muster out, which has previously been
discussed. 1t win be remembered the
adjutant general secured the ruling OF
the auditor OF the treasury department
fer tie War d paEtment who said the mel
were certainly entitled to their pay.
Upon the application OF the men for their
pay 1t was found that here were no rec
ords to warrant the back pay In the War
departmert and the olsims were disal-
lowsd.
Gen. Richards then wrote again on the
subjeo. and the latter herewith given
shows that his idea Of the matter was
correct that the auditors could do moth
ing different as the muster officer had
not filsd records to warrant any further
pay.
This Is the lsttsr In substance:
"Replying to your letter of Jan. go,
1900, relative to the muster out OF the
Eilst Maine volunteers, ] have to advise
you that the claims presented to this
office for pay subs quent to date OF pay
ment by the psymaster have been settled
by record furnished by the War depsrt-
ment In the oaBse Of the men to whom
you refer the War department actually
reports them IN ustersd ont. Oct 30, 1875.
The nay rolls In this oifioe signed by the
csptaius of the companies and by the
u, 5. mastering officer show them ac-
tually mustered for discharge and dis
charged, o 30.
II further appears that they uid not
assemble for payment In rome cases until
men ars entitled to pay until receiving
th,ir discharges ia correct and IL 1t be
true that the men and officers Of these
organiz ,tions were held under military
oobtrol aft.r tie date OF the muster out
ae given on the records it would seem
taat the records should be corrected, but
this oftics has no authority to correct the
records al d settlement must be MADE
fiom the date of discharge as hled by
the Wnr departmen etc."
Nou Gen. Richards win secure affi-
davits from the company commanders
who ere not IN mustered out until after
the date OF Oct. 80. and also that OF Capt.
Rogers of the regular army. to the effect
that the muster ont ceremony ives not
performed until after the time Of pay
nsnt. Each company will hnve stated
specifically the date Of Its muster out.
Then the secretary Of war will be COM
municatsd with direct.

TIE PROSPERITY DISPENSAHY
hoihg Fought by Those Who Are Orroscd
To It's EstablIshmcnt.

Editor Herald and News: There are
those in Prosperity who are indrfati-
gable in their efforts AGAINST the oper-
ing of adispensary here. a year ago,
when al election was held here on this
| question, and resulted in Il majDrity OF
three against the dispensary, its friends
quietly accepted the verdict from the
! ballot-boX and made no "kics" what
! ever, though, it is said, there were
grounds for revolt. Now, however, the
| tables arc turned " I'D the vote has re-
| suited IL favor OF a local dispcnsary by
like majority Of three, aud the anti
| dispensary faction are raising all the
howl possible, "psDrting as Il last ef-
| fort to that clause OF tho statute which
provides, III substaHce, that if Il ma jor-
ity OF the Township voters prtition to
the contrary within twenty days, it
| shall he "competcnt," and the diSpcn-
| sary may not or shall not be opened
This clause is an injusicv to an in
corporatcd town; yet it is law, and must
be honorcd. But it is pretty "kcttlc
OF fish, indeed, if the people of Il Town
cannot govern the business affairs of
the incorporation without being con-
trollcd by the sentiment OF those rcsi,l-
ing beyond the incorporated borders
People Of Il Town ought to know what
they want-what will enhance their
business intcrests-and should be en-
powered to establish any lawful bus
lness looking to thci" upbuilding or
suspend any which do not inure to the
Interest of the inco 'poration. If self
government IS not he prime object of
Incorporation, then It. IS "competcnln
for some wiscacrc to eniighttu ue. 1t
will also be "competcnL" for our lrlcga-
tlon in the General Assembly Of 1901
to rightly serve their constituents by
securing the suggested amendment to
the law. The law is for the people,
and all the people should have that por-
tion OF its protection which Is their
just due-nO more, no less.
have not seen ~ pplition, but am told
that several arc being circulated in No.
8 Township against the opening Of the
Prosperity dispensary, also counter pc
titions praying that the dspensary
elected by the voters of Prosperity be
established. The fight is on-its result
is of the future. | truly hope that the
fierce contest will engender no strife
amongst the good people Of this Town
or Township that no ties OF friendship
may be rudely sundered and that those
who sign petitions pro ct con will DO SO
without regard TO the influences which
may be brought to bear upon them
The law provides that voters shall be
'untrammeled, and we should be un.
trammeled in signing petitions. This
is lawful and right. Let the law be
hoDored in its observance, and let us
love and respect our neighbor regard

dispensary question.

Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale Of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers never thought of using anything
else for indigestion or biliousness. Doc
tors were scarce, and they seldom heard
OF appendicitis, nervous prostratiou or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean the system and stop fer
mentation OF undigested food, regulate
the action OF the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys-
TEN, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need q few
doses of Green's August Flower, in H.
'quid form, to make you satisfied there
