doing rushing business the deputies
visited about nine places but obtained no
liquor. They found some msn in these
places VINO were standing about smoking,
but there were no evidences OF liquor be-
ing sold In the place.
The barkeepsrs now stand outside the
bar with the patrons and wear no white
coats or button hole bouquets. When "a
man wants drink he is served from a
bottle in the barkeeper-s pocket. II the
sheriff unexpectedly drops in the bottle
goes to some other man anu the liquor
seller cRnnGt be troubled. This is the
plan which is now being worked and
which 1t woula take hundred and even
more officers TO put a stop to.
Yesterday NOR ming well known
druggist called on Sheriff Pearson to as
certain what his policy would be In reia-
tion to allowing the Gale of liquor for
medicinal purposes, The druggist
brought with him two prescriptions that
had been presented at his store during
the forenoon for cnmpounding. One of
the prescriptions called for two drugs and
several ounces OF sherry wine. The other
prescription called for four drugs and
eight ounces of sherry wine. The
druggist asked, II he filled thess prsscrtp-
tic MS, would he be regarded by the sheriff
as having violated tine law.
MIR. Pearson promptly told him to to go
anead and I'LL the prescriptions. The
sheriff said there is reason In all things.
He expected druggists to keep a limited
quantity of the ordinary liquors usually
called for by physicians prescriptions.
but he expects them TO keep these liquors
in bottles ON their shelves the same as
they do their other medicines. II he goes
TO the store OF a druggist and In the cell
lar finds liquors In an ash barrel, or
what appears to be an ash barrel, and in
considerable quantities, he will not only
seize the liquors but he will arrest the
druggist. If the liquors are kept IN small
quantities and by the side of tine other
medicines. open to inspection by the
sheriff. If he so desires, he will regard
that as prima facle evidence that the
liquors are kept for medicinal PURPOSES
MIR. Pearson says that the druggists
will have no reason to find any fault with
his administration, II they really mean
TO DO lie gitilnate business. Ir they do
not he will make 1t as uncomfortable for
them as he can.

MONEY WAS NOT FOUND.
A Piece of Detective Work which End
ed Badly.

Some one who had an idea that he was
a good detective and was on to the right
thing at last, got the Portland police
into some little difficulty yesterday,
causing them lots OF trouble and for q
time gave the police officers Of Ports
mouth something to think about. Anoth-
er result OF this brilliant detsctive work
was the detention in the Portland police
station for some hours OF l4-year old
Lillian Lydstons of Kittsry and a man
who gave his name Jas. n. Niokerson of
Biddeford.
1t seems that this girl had been work
ing until a short time ago as houssmaid
for James hiohardson of Kittsry, and
while she was employed there $500 mys-
teriously disappeared. The money was
hunted for high and low and 500 OF it
was afterwards found between the mat
tresses in an unoccupied room In the
house. For time suspicion fell upon
this girl, bat she convinced the people
In the house that she knew nothing about
the disapp3 p3arance of the money, though
who took It is stlll u mystery. Yesterday
this girl started for Portland. A brake
man on the train which arrives here at
ll.4b O'Clock, knew the girl and told the
police officers here that he had sSen the
girl, who was Joined at Biddeford by
MIR. Nickerson, and Mr.. Niokerson had
u roll Of bills supposed to be part OF the
500 missing from the Richardson house
in kittery. The man and the girl were
shadowsd when they reached here ana
later taken to the police station ana
searched. No-money was found on either
OF them and they were released. The
girl told a straight story ana it was COR
roborated by the Portsmouth police whom
the Portland officers communicated with

The question naturally pre- sents itself how came such a dream as this to disturb my usually sweet and peaceful slum- bers?
 The answer is contained in the following clipping of a news paper of a very recent date published by one of our contem- poraries: Judging from an ed itorial, or rather rotatorial, which appeared in a recent is sue of one of our contemporaries we are expecting to hear of the editor going to the insane asylum at Little Rock"
 We are not superstitious, but our dear mother believes in dreams, and we being a dutiful and obedient son, must naturally believe in them to a certain ex, tent also. If this piece of fancy should come true, ,wehave oneco solation and that is that we shal- have about fifteen years to tel the people the news and hap penings after our friend goes
 Now to the point where the rub comes. A certain editor in Woodruff county came to us in our infancy and made us this proposition. You discuss the courthouse question and district court matter and 1 will answer you" Of course, our paper dis cussed it and can say more. How would a sensible man and To- gician have answered our insan ity? He would have told the truth of the matters contained therein. But, we told stubborn truthful facts and our John the Baptist to the insane asylum can t controvert them. Neither do we blame him. Brother, i you don't know anything to say on the subject our advise to yor is to keep mum .'

 All people are subject to mak ing mistakes and especially the man that tries to run a little country weekly. He is criticized more than any other professions man in the world. Some people don t want their names to appear in connection with any article, some would like to see their names attached to every article, some want what is said of them to be clothed in this language others in that language. In fact if we were to ask 100 persons how they think a paper shoula be run there would no doubt be 100 different answers. Now what's fellow to do but "hew to the mark, let the chips fall where they may" We know h tt there are very few issues pub lished that some item is not over looked, and when this occurs the editor is said to have a motive in view, is prejudiced, or is getting lazy and neglecting his work. While newspaper people regret such occurrences they can not avoid them. If anyone has been sighted or feel that they have in this regard, we humbly ask your pardon. This means YOU.

 THE great trouble with so many young men," says an ex- change, is that they are not fitted for. anything. They want to spend the first thirty years of their lives being funny, having a good time, then drop into a good position with 6 fat salary. Be cause old business men will not put them at once in these good positions they settle down to dry goods box .g~rowlers, criticising the. government and condemning the rich
