BRIDGE CONTRACTS SIGNED.
Two Staunch Structures Will Be Built over
the Bond Brook.

Mavor Lane will at once sign con
tracts with the New Jersey Steel "
Iron Works for bridges to be erected
over the Bond brook. The structures

the recent freshet.
At one Of the recent meetings u the

Tho bridges. Plans have since been
drawn and bridge men have looked
over the specifications. That the
bridges might be perfectly safe, Rail
road commissioner Danforth has been
consulted with. Each is to have a

From personal experience / know
something of the good work which is
being accomplished by the Augusta
City Hospital. l am personally ac-
quainted with that noble woman who
directs its affairs 50 successfully and
50 conscienti1usly. The institution is
indeed fortunate in having her. She
combines wonderful executive abilities
with large heartedness and singleness
Of purpose. She is a mother to every
member Of the training school, a
friend Of every patient A better nurse
never came to Maine. Much Of the
success of the hospital is directly due
10 her untiring and intelligent labors.
| hope the fund which is necessary
to purchase the hospital plant will be
quickly raised. 1t is a work in which
every well-wisher of Augusta should
take some active part.

IN TIE WOODS.
Weather Conditions Interfere with numbering
Operations.

This has been hard winter in the
woods, remarked a prominent kenne-
bee lumberman, the other DAY. and
as a result the winters cut will fall
short Of earlier estimates. These
heavy storms. and particularly the
hard rains, have retarded operations
materially. Frequently teams have
been obliged 10 stand idle for a week
at a time waiting for roads to drain"
What is the outlook for prices on
lumber, the coming summer"
Il think they will rule high. | am
aware that many people do not take
this view Of the case, but | think il
is the right one. To be sure. if the CON
ditions for driving are good-and every
thing looks favorable now-they will
be a good supply of logs at the mills.
next summer, although by no means
as large as was looked for at the be-
ginning Of the winter. Now these logs
will be sawed to supply a depleted
market and numbering operations.
which will start in the early spring,
are sure to accentuate this condition
Of affairs. Everything points TO a very
busy season in building operations
The demand for lumber will be so
sharp that it will probably be absorbed
about as fast as it is sawed"
Then you anticipate that the pres
ent high prices Will hold?'
II do. In fact, | will venture the
prediction that lumber will be higher,
next June, than it is at the present
time"
This opinion was endorsed by Mr..
Smith Randall Of the Augusta Lum-
Der Co, whom the reporter saw, later
in the afternoon.

How large cut will your company
secure this winter

conditions had been more favorable we
should probably have secured 12.0O0,000

The penny contribution nuisance is
again about to start. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it is allowed to set into the
schools Of this State. The contribution,
last year was for the purpose of erect
ing a monument to the sailors Of the
Maine. This year it is to erect in New
York statue to LonSfellOw. 1t was
not the intention u superintendent
Stctson to allow the contribution to he
made from the Maine schools last year
but on account Of the endorsement Of 50
many men Of prominence, the permission
was given. 1t is extremely doubtful if
permission is given to take up the collcc-
tion. this year The feeling is against
the move for tho reason that while cv-
eryone is supposed to contribute there are
many whose parents cannot really afford
To- give money in answer t. the many
small demands Of a similar nature.

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to ali others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
Plans Under Way for Harbor improve.
ments and Protective DockAge
at Manila.

Manila, Sept. 17.-Gen. Wright, of
the Philippine commission, is prepar-
ing a bill for harbor improvements
here, 1t centemplates an appropria-
ton of $i,0O0,OO0, gold, for the eott=
struction of protective dockage: The
proposal is favorably commented
upon especially by the Spaniards; and
the carrying out of the works, which
will be completed in about eighteen
months, will be greatly beneficial to
commerce.
The commissions bill establishing
municipalities will introduce a change
| in the derivation of revenue, which
will hereafter come largely from land
instead of Industrial taxation. This
will involve the raising of the ques=
ton of the validity of existing land
titles and will force decision as to
the extent to which the investments
of religious corporations are to be eX-
empted. The matter is receiving care
full consideration at the hands of the
commission, and the feeling is that
the bringing of these issues to a head
will be in many ways beneficial.
At the commissions session next
Wednesday a civil service bill will be
introduced. 1t will provide for a civil
service board, consisting of one Fill
Pine and two Americans. EXamina-
tions in the United States will be held
by the Washington civil service COM
mission and those here by army
boards appointed form Washington.
During the last. fortnight ten Fill
pinOs in Luzon and the Visayans,
known as American sympathizers or
as aiding in the conduct of municipal
governments established by the Amer
leans, have been murdered by their
cOuntrymen in arms.
The Provinces OF Morong and La
guna continue tranquil. United States
troops originally destined for China.
but now diverted to the Philippines,
are being sent to points where they
are most needed. Last week 40 Fill
pinos were killed. One American was
killed, three were wounded and two
were captured.

elections of delegates to the forth
coming convention the national party
again triuInphed in the Province of
Havana. Not only did it elect the five
delegates of the majority representa-
ton, but it also captured one of the
minority representatives, the repub-
lican party electing the other two,
namely, Sanguilly and Berriel.
Returns from the other provinces
come in slowly, owing to the heavy
rains. In Pinar del Rio there seems
to be no doubt of the election of Con
zales de Quesada, Rus Rivera and Civil
Governor Dulles. Nothing definite is
yet known here as to Santiago, be-
cause of the difficulty of getting re-
turns from the outlying country dis
tricts, but it is reported that Juan
Gilberto Gomez is elected.
In Puerto Principe Senores Cisneros
and Silva were the only candidates, so
that their election is assured. 1t is
conceded that in Santa Clara the fed
erals will win. No definite news of
the results in Matanzas has been re-

Calls for Relief.
Houston, Tex, Sept. 16.-The fol-
lowing statement and appeal was
sent by Il. w. King, of Alvin, Tex;
81 arrived in Alvin from Dallas, and
was astonished and bewildered by the
sight of devastation on every side.
Ninety-five per cent. of the houses in
this vicinity are in ruins, leaving six
thousand people without adequate
shelter, and destitute. Everything in
the way of crops is destroyed, and I'M
less there is speedy. relief there will
be exceedingly great suffering.
Must Have Assistance.
'The people need and must have
assistance. Need money to rebuild
their homes and buy stock and imple-
ments. They need fOod-four, ba-
con, corn. They must have seeds for
their gardens so as to be able to do
something for themselves very soon.
Clothing is badly needed. Hundreds
of women and children are without
change and are already suffering.
Some better idea may be had of the
distress when it is known that box
cars are being improvised as houses
and hay as bedding. Only IA houses
in the town of Alvin are standing on
their foundations and they are badly
damaged.
Suffering and Starvation Imminent.
1.-The necessities of the people must
be met or great suffering and starva-
ton will follow.
cit is believed that generous pub
lie will quickly respond when they
know the dire distress among this
people. While the great sympathetic
heart of this grand nation is respond
ing so generously for the stricken
city of Galveston, it should be re-
membered, also, that the smaller
towns-where the same conditions of
total wreck exists, though miracu-
lousy with smaller loss of life-need
immediate help from a liberal peo'
pie"
The Country Strewn with COrDseB.
A bulletin from Hitchcock says:
Country districts are strewn with
corpses. The prairies around Hitch
cock are dotted with the bodies of
the dead. Scores are unburied, as the
bodies are too badly decomposed to
handle, and the water too deep to
admit of burial. \ pestilence is
feared from the decomposing animal
matter lying everywhere. Disinfect-
ing material is badly needed.
