AWAITING A CLAIMANT.
Remains OF Sumner N. Bolton Arrive from
Bangor and Remain Unclaimed.

There is a casket containing a body
at the undertaking rooms of Trouant
& Bates. awaiting a claimant The
Casket arrived in the city on the after
noon express. Wednesday. from Ban
gor. but as it bore no address except
Augusta, and there was no one pres
ent to take charge Of it, it remained
upon the truck until late in the after
noon. when permission was obtained
from the above firm to place it in their
rooms where it still remains The
certificate upon the box states that the
body contained therein is that of Sum-
ner n. Bolton, and that he died in
Bangor. Dec. Is, aged 13 years, 10
months and 16 days. The cause of
death was senility. From what could
be learned on the street, it is thought
that the body is that of Sumner Boil
ton, former resident of Augusta, who
went to Bangor to live and who has
relatives still living in that section of
the city known as Bolton hill.
Agent Cook of the American Ex-
press Co, by which the body was
brought to Augusta. received .ele-
gram from the agent in Bangor,
Thursday afternoon, saying that it was
the request of Clayton & Co.. the Ban
gor undertakers. that Mary S. Bolton
of Togus, should be notified of the ar
rival of the remains, and measures
were at once taken to ascertain the
residence of the lady in question.

A UNIQUE LIGHT.
Story Of Revolving Ligh! in a Water Stree,
Store.

There is quite a story connected With
the revolving gas light in the window
OF Chas. X. Partridge's drug store. In
1858 or about that time when the gas
works We're first put in operation in
the city, Mr.. c. +. Potter owned a drug
store in the building where the Allen
building now stands. Mr.. Lewis the
manager of the gas company at that
time, was a great friend of Mr.. Potter
and when in New York seeing this re-
volving light which was novelty just
patented he brought it home and gave
it to Mr.. Potter. 1t was placed in the
store window and remained there I'M
til the store was burned in 1861. Mr..
Partridge succeeded Mr.. Potter ut that
time and when he opened his store in
the building where the Safe Deposit Co.
now is he dug this light from the debris
of the old store and placed it in the
corner window of the new store where
it was arranged with bottles of colored
water to throw Its light across the
river in various colors.
Since then his store has been twice
destroyed by fire, but each time. this
old light has been recovered and put
in repair. once il was believed to be
gone beyond recovery, and efforts were
made to get a duplicate Of it. but all
the prominent manufacturers and job
bers of gas supplies OF Boston and New
York were ignorant not only of where
one could be obtained but even of the
existence of any s1ich thing. until one
man was found who remembered that
the thing was patented and one lot put
on the market but it was not seller,
and no more We're made. This is, in
all probability, the only light of its
kind in America and it has passed
through many vfcissitudes.
The principle OF the light is very
simple 1t turns because the gas presses
against the air and pushes itself
around. And the gas is kept in and
case of revolution assured by use of
cylinders revolving in other cylinders
which are filled with oil.

1t is in no SerSe an experiment as it
has been played with great success in
all the principal cities of the country
and has been given the utmost limit of
praise for the humor of its situations,
the wit of its dialogue and the clever
ness with which its complications are
worked out. In presenting it this sea-
son Mir. Perkins has the aid of an cX-
cellent company of comedians and has
class basis designed to attract and de-
light the best class of amusement

A SOUR STOMACH
Is Often the Real Cause Of a Sour Temper.

That the condition of the digestive or
gans has marked effect upon the char
acter or disposition is truism as old as
the hills. Old Ben Johnson wisely said
THE pleasure of living depends upon the
liver and il is a fact which none may
dispute that sunny disposition more
often results from healthy digestion
| than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn. is caused by slow
digestion of food; instead of being
promptly digested and converted into
| blood. bone and muscle. it lies in the
stomach for hours, fermenting and de-
caying, creating gases which cause pres
sure on the lungs and heart, short breath
and general discomfort and irritation.
Such half digested food is indeed poor
nourishment for the body, brain and
| nerves and the result is shown in irrit-
able tempers. unaccountable headaches
and that depressing condition usually
called the blues but how quickly all
these disappear when appetite and diges-
ton are restored.
Laxative medicines only irritate the
already irritated stomach and bowels and
have no effect upon actual digestion of
food.
The sensible course to follow is to
make use of simple natural digestives
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals until the stomach has a chance to
recuperate.
The natural digestives which every
healthy stomach contains are peptones
diastase and hydrochloric and Tactic acids
and when any of them are lacking the
trouble begins; the reason Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are so valuable and sue
cessful in curing stomach troubles is be-
cause they contain, in pleasant CON
centrated tablet form all these abso-
lutely necessary essentials for perfect di-
gestion and assim lation of food.
Henry Kir,ipatT OK Of Lawrence, Mass.
says: .den ana Women whose occupa-
ton precludes an active out door life
should make it daily practice to use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals, |
have done so myself and know positive
'ly that owe my present health and Wig

From the time was % when gradual

The success and popularity of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is enormous. but it is
deserved, and every druggist in the Uni

a good word for this mertorious prep

But the feature of the day in the
legislative line was the remarkable
Ieat OF introducing n bill and putting
IL through all its various stages, read
ing, engrossment, enactment. and
signing by the Governor, at a single
session. This was done by Webb of
Portland, the bill being one authoriz-
ing the Portland Board Of Trade to ap-
point committee of inspection of
grain and other produce so that the
lack OF such inspection shall no longer
cause Portland to be Disseminated
against in shipping. The rules were
suspended in both branches and the
bill was rushed through at a speed
sometimes seen at the close of a ses-
sion but never before at its beginning.
1t was record-breaking performance.
1t was a little before l p. NJ. when
the two bodies again met in joint con-
Vention to elect the State officials and
councillors nominated at the caucus of
the previous evening. This was slow
work and occupied nearly an hour.
The election of Senator Frye will come,
by law. on the second Tuesday after
the nomination was made and it is
hoped he will not be too busy to come
on from Washington to address the
Legislature at that time. The Demo-
cratic members at that time will cast
their votes for Senator Staples of
Knox. The newly elected members of
the Council appeared before the joint
convention and the oath was admins
tered by President Hamlin. The other
officers qualified elsewhere. 1t was
just P. NJ. when the work was done
and the two bodies adjourned until
Tuesday. Jan. s. at 4 p. Nj. The hun
CRY legislators quickly left the Capitol
and most of them went home on the
afternoon trains. The Capitol was a
quiet and deserted place in the after
noon, and will continue SO until next
Tuesday afternoon.

pieces were found. On the roof of the
barn he saw whal he recognized to be
the trunk and heal of his employer.
The man at once notified Mrs. Weber
and then the town authorities. who in
turn reported the matter to the cor
oner at Lewiston.
Coroner Sampson. with city Marshal
Odlin of Lewiston. came to this place
at once and thorough investigation
into the cause of the mans death was
begun. In the meantime a report had
been circulated that Mr.. Webber had
been murdered. decapitated and dis
embowelled. and as it was well known
that he frequently was well supplied
with money, the report was pretty
generally believed.
These rumors were quickly put at
rest. however. when the officers. in ex-
amining tie dead mans clothing came
upon several notes, one of which. was
addressed to his wife. stating that he
had intended to take his life by blow
ing himself with dynamite. making
suggestions as to the disposition of the
property and advising her to live as
comfortably as possible.
It is considered a remarkable thing
that none of the inmates of the house
were aroused by the sound which
must have followed the explosion of
the dynamite cartridge. as the barn
yard which the man chose for his act
is located only a few feet from the
house. They say, however, that they
heard nothing, and that the first they
knew of the affair was when Douglass
found the CHASTITY remains at 6. o'clock.
Mrs. Weber said, today, that her
husband had been acting strangely
for some time, but the thought never
occurred to her that he might wish to
take his life.
