placing the same under competent
superintendent and thus secure the
best of care and subsistence at mini
mum COST" is good one; and SO is the
suggestion in the paragraph on the fire
department, that individuals should
more generally provide themselves
with some standard chemical fire appara-
tus.' The brief paragraph on the public
schools presents in few words the
need for better school buildings, which is
more fully set forth in the report of the
school committee, not yet published. A
new departure in regard to the collection
of taxes, a paragraph on the board OF
health and the Importance of its duties,
and suggestion with regard to the
reaching out for new industries COM
plete the message, which concludes
with the expression of the Mayors
earnest desire that the affairs OF the
city shall still be conducted on purely
business principles

Prohib ition in Monroe.

At the annual town meeting held in Mon
roe March 4th, it was voted by an almost
unanimous vote that the public sale of in
toxicating liquors should cease in town. Fl.
R. Dawson, the moderator Of the meeting,
was chosen chairman of a committee of five
to act with the selectmen and was given the
power to choose the other four. He chose
C. c. Moody, Tolford Durham, W. S. Par
ker and Frank Nye. The committee met
March Sth and II. R. Dawson and Edwin
jenkins were authorized to see the county
officers and see what could be DONE They
went to Belfast March 9th to see Sheriff
Norton and carried with them certified
copy of the vote of the town. They asked
him if he could stop the open sale of liquor
in our town and he said he could. He was
then asked if he would, and he replied in the
affirmative. Now, after nearly three years
of public nuisance in town, in eight days
after the committee got to work the rum
shop was cleared out, the United States
license cancelled and Monroe once more
was without an open rum shop. Mr.. Daw-
son told the town on the 4th of March if
they would give him the expression of the
town, and they wanted the business stopped,
he would see that it was stopped or the
blame would be laid where it belonged,
without fear or favor. Now Mr.. Dawson
says the town will be clean for one year, at
least. This does not look as if the prohibit
tory law is a failure, or that there is any
desire to submit the rum question again to
the people, If the people do not want rum
sold in their town they have only to say so
out loud, so it will be heard by the rum sell
lers, then elect some man you can trust to
see that he does hear and he will be glad to
fold his tent like the Arab and silently steal
away.

Tie Doctor she Wanted.

Intelligent women are always doing
bright things, and Mrs. A. A. Libby, a
competent nurse, at Pownal, Me-, did
bright thing, and did it in a bright
way, when she sent for the doctor she
wanted. .
It all came about in this wise:
Early last winter she was stricken
down with the grip, which left her very
weak and without appetite.
The sight of food nauseated her.
A lady with whom she was stopping,
realizing that it is almost as hazardous,
to neglect the effects of the grip as the
disease itself, the effects commonly
being low, vitiated condition of the
blood, impaired digestion, loss of ap-
petite and strength and increased sus-
ceptibility to disease, said she must
have doctor.
| asked the LADY,, said Mrs. Libby,
March 7th, 1900, eff she would get the
doctor wanted. She said she would,
and | asked her to go and get bottle of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. She laughed at
medicine and l began taking It. My
strong, and now I am well and have
49, AANN - 0oA COAO UAll5 WluUCIs
But there is more to be said.
Some time previously, Mrs. Libby
had taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for ca
tarrh and headache, by which she had
been greatly troubled, and it quickly
relieved her and, to use her own words,
cid her world of good.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine
that acts directly and peculiarly on the
making it rich and abundant, and is
positively unequalled for renovating
and building up the whole system, cur
ing all scrofulous diseases, catarrh,
dyspepsia, kidney complaint, and re-
storing health and strength after the
grip, pneumonia, and all prostrating
or facilitating sicknesses, also after
i scarlet fever, diphtheria, and other
blood-poisoning diseases.
Don't fail to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t will surely do you good.

A Plymouth Rock Record.

To THE EDITOR OF The REPUBLICAN
JOURNAL: 1 started Dec. Sth, 1900, with 80
Plymouth Rock pullets. From Dec Sth to
Feb. 26th they laid 1874 dozen and eggs.
In the month of January they laid 619 eggs.
I think the quality, as well as the quantity
of the eggs, should be considered. These
eggs are very large and brown. Some Of
them measure e inches by 81. have al

The new city government, organized
Monday, is practically the same as that
of the past two years. The only i'm
Dortant change outside of the makeup
of committees is the election of Francis
II. Welch as chief of the fire depart
ment, to succeed W. R. Ford, who has
employment III Massachusetts, Mr.
Welch has had previous experience in
this position, and was most Jealous in
the performance of its duties. Alder
man Chas. P Hazeltine continues as
chairman of the important finance COM
mittee and the committee on sewers
Alderman Perkins remains at the head
of the committee on fire department
and city property and is chairman of
the committee on bylaws and police
regulations: Alderman Knowlton, chair
man of the committee on highways
and bridges and sidewalks; Alderman
,Strout on lights and cemeteries; and
Alderman Hatch on public schools and
enrolled ordinances.
The message of Mayor Small, printed
III another column, will commend itself
to all who are interested in the welfare
of our city. 1t is imbued with proper
public spirit, and its suggestions and
recommendations should command gen
eral approval. As to the finances of
the city Mayor Small would recon-
mend liberal appropriations for all pur-
sooses, but not prodigality.' What he
says of roads, bridges and sidewalks
naturally meets our appreciation, as it
is in line with the policy The Journal
has been advocating for years past. A
city cannot afford to let it's streets and
sidewalks deteriorate, even if it has to
increase the tax rate to keep them in re-
pair. A stranger must be unfavorably
impressed with place that has neglect
ed roads and walks, and would not re-
gard few mills difference in the tax
rate as counterbalancing such condi-
zion of affairs. We also heartily agree
with the Mayor when he says: "Work
-son our sewer system, which was sus-
pended last year, Should be resumed
this season with as large an appropria-
ton as can be spared for this purpose.

A Compliment for Our High School.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: AT
ter attending the entertainment given by
the senior class, B. H. S., last Friday event
ing, l realized that Belfast was Sleepy
Hollow no longer. Our city should be Just
ly proud of the graduating class of its High
School. We who attended that school in
the seventies under the reign of civilian
Augustus were considered smart; but the
present superior advantages have develop
ed in our sons and daughters talents far ex-
ceeding our own. Principal Howard has a
fine family, even if his roof tree does not
shelter them; and Misses Townsend and
Field are to be complimented for their share
in their success.
The good fellowship between superinten-
dent, teachers and pupils made the evening
most pleasant. Let us hope that this is not
their last appearance before they stand in
the Opera House to receive their diplomas,
and bid adieu to their school life.

HIS REACHED TIE COURT.
SESSMENT TO BE TRIED In
AUGUST
COMPANY FILES ITS ANSWER
London and Northwest Mortgage
Company Appeals From the Ac-
ton of Clerk of Court
Rogers.

The action of the county board in re-
dLcing the assessment of the street rail-
way company, despite the ruling of the
attorney general to the effect that such
ection would be Illegal, was carried to
the district court yesterday, when a sup
Elemental answer was filed by the street
car company setting up as a defense the
action of the board in reducing the as
sessment.
To the answer, which was filed by M.
D. Mum, counsel for the railway COM
pany, Assistant Attorney General Dana
hover and County Attorney Kane of
fered a demurrer, and the matter will
now go before the court on the issues of
law.
By consent of counsel the court or
dered the county to submit briefs within
ten days, and it is expected that the
hearing will take place during the spe-
cial term period in August.
An almost similar case 10 that of the
street railway assessment is that of the
appeal of the Londan and Northwest
Mortgage company from the action Of
Clerk of Court Rogers, in refusing to en-
ter a satisfaction of Judgment recorded
against the company for unpaid taxes
of 1898, which was authorized by the
board of county commissioners, and in
which testimony was taken before Judge
came up on a motion citing County At
torney Kane to show cause why the
judgment should not be recorded as sat
isfed, and after arguments of counsel
the case was submitted.
The amount involved is $500, in which
sum the company was in default in the
payment of personal taxes for 1893, and
as an offset it is claimed that the Off
Gals of the company had failed to list
with the assessor its liabilities, which,
it is claimed, would have been more than
sufficient to pay all taxes against the
corporation. The contention of the COM
pany was affirmed by the supreme court,
but at the same time it was held that
the failure of the company to list its liza
bilities acted as en- estoppel Suisse
quently the county board passed a res
olutlon abating the tax, on the ground
that it should not stand as a matter of
equity, although legally sound.

DISTRICT COURT NEWS

The case of Forrest D. Woodward
against the Milwaukee road, which has
been on trial before Judge Lochren, in
the federal court for several days, was
resumed yesterday, and a number of ex-
pert witnesses were examined as to just
how far sparks from a locomotive might
fly, with the engine running at differ
ent speeds, the aim being to show that
the engine.in question was going at a low
rate of speed when 1t passed the Wood
ward farm the buildings on which were
burned down. Among the experts sworn
were Engineer Lobdall, Fireman Camel
gard and other employees of the company.
The case of H. w. Pearson against the
Great Northern Railway company was re-
sumed before Judge Kelly yesterday, and
among the important witnesses for the
defense was United States Senator Paris
Gibson, of Montana, who was the founder
of Great Falls. Senator Gibson proved
an invaluable witness for the defense, as
he testified to first having Investigated
the coal fields in dispute in the seventies
showing that their discovery was not of
recent date. Other witnesses were Colin
Napier, H. F. Thompson and Charles
Lochray, the last two being miners.
In the case of the United States against
William Sauntry ct al in which action
was brought for $4,000 for the Illegal
cutting Of timber from government lands
in Douglass county, and which was tried
in the federal court, a verdict was re.
turned for 81, 700 In favor of the govern

LOWRY DENIES IT.
SAYS THERE rs NOTHING IN COM
MUNrrY OF INTERESTS STORY.

The community of interests story in
volving the amalgama ton of the street
railway interests of st. Paul. Minneap-
oils, Duluth, West Superior, Winnipeg,
Quebec, Montreal aud Toronto, which
reached the Twin Cities yesterday from
Toronto, is insistently denied by Thomas
Lowry. Upon his return from Western
trip yesterday afternoon he repudiated
the statement with quite as much vehe-
Dence as he did the story to the effect
that he had disposed of his stock in the
Twin City company
The rapidity with which some of these
stories are recurring has the effect of
establishing for them considerable
credence in the minds of the general
public, despite the emphatic manner in
which Mr. Lowry and his associates deny
them.
Of yesterdays consolidation story Mr.
Lowry says there is not the least par
tcle of truth in it so far as it relates
TO his interests. He includes in these
the Twin City company, which, of course,
embraces the Saltwater lines, and the
Duluth and West Superior system, of
which c. 6. Goodrich is president Mr.
Lowry says he has no interests In Ca
madam railways and has never heard of
some of those companies alleged to have
been engulfed by the consolida ton He
says he has no money to put into street
railways in Canada.
Asked whether a consolidation of street
railway interests could be brought about
by an exchange of securities, Mr.. Lowry
said:
Il know nothing about that, but I can
say this, that if there should ever come
a time when the Twin City system got
mixed up with other companies in Can
ada or elsewhere, it would be time for
me to quit the business. [ have no idea
how street railways can be run by any
such mixed up arrangement. You can
say for me that if that time should ever
come to Minneapolis 1 will not be in the
street railway business. I have no con-
ception of any good end such consolida-
ton could serve. How can there be any
community of interest in the running
of two street railways say in Montreal
and Minneapolis? I expect to be con-
nected with the Twin City system as long
as 1 live and do business, but you can
depend upon it that I will never at
tempt to run street railways on any such
PLAN
