ThomastOn, Me-, March 1.-Two
large wooden, two and a half story
dwelling houses and number of out
buildings were burned, early Monday,
causing a loss estimated ut more than
$1,000. The fire started in barn con-

the residence of =. l.. Dennison ad-

contents, and all the outbuldings We're
destroyed. The firemen had little sue
cess in fighting the flames, because of
water pressure, and their entire atten-

property.
1t is thought the fire must have been
caused by the carelessness of tramps
or an indemnity. as one of the build

GET MAD
When Friends Tell the Truth.

Many people become coffee topers
before they realize it, and would be
angry if thus described even by close
friend.
1t will pay anyone to examine care
fully into whether or not coffee has
gained the mastery over them. A cof-
fee topper may suspect that his or her
ails come from coffee drinking but
they will invariably charge the disease
to some other cause, for right down in
the heart they realize that it would be
practically impossible to give up cof-
fee, so they hope against hope that it
does not hurt them, but it goes on with
its work just the same and the result
is complete collapse and nervous pros
tration, lasting sometimes for years.
unless the poison that causes the dis
ease is discontinued
There are hundreds of thousands of
illustrations of the truth of this state
ment.
Any person addicted to coffee can
make the change from common coffee
to Postum Food Coffee without trou-
HE provided the Postum is properly
prepared so as to bring out the color,
flavor and food value. 1t has a rich
black brown color and changes to the
golden brown when good cream is add
ed.
The change viii work wonders in
any one whose nervous system or
stomach has been unbalanced or dis
turbed by coffee.

ALMOST OVER THE DAM.
Narrow Escape Of Three Men at Mad
son, Saturday.

Madison, Me-, March 3.-The heavy
rains and warm weather of the past
few days raised the fears of the prop
erty owners along the water front, that
there would be repetition of the De-
cember freshet.
Sunday afternoon, the basement of
the Indian Spring wooden mill was
cleared and the donkey engines and
derricks at the new pulp mill were
placed above the high water mark.
A crew of men was also at work for
the Great Northern Paper Co. securing
the lumber on the banks of the river
above the place. The ice went out for
a short distance above the dam, Sunday
morning, taking the derrick, granite
and other material being used in con-
struction of the pier for the new bridge.
The work will now have to be post
poned for several months at least.
Three men who were at work raising
the flush boards on the dam, Saturday,
narrowly escaped death. The ice on
which they were standing broke off ana
it was only by great cXertion that they
escaped going over the dam.

was one of the young men chosen by
the college Y. NJ. c. A. to represent
Bates at the convention in Toronto.
His sickness, however, prevented his
going and Howard Kelly. '03 was sent
in his place. The delegation consists of
Mrs. Rand (Prof. Rands wife), Miss

The preparations for the annual in

AT DANGEROUS PITCH.
Kcnnebcc and Carrabassett Badly
Swollen at North Arson.

North Arson, Me, March 3.-Heavy
rains mingled with thunder showers for
three days have swelled the Kennebec
and Carrabassett rivers to a dangerous
pitch.
The ice has started on the upper Car
rabassett and formed an enormous
gorge at East New Portland where the
Gilman stream joins it. The water is
backing up and it is higher at East
North Portland than ever known be-
fore, but no damage there yet.
g. II. Bartlett's mill at North New
Portland has five feet of water on the
floor and the water stands over the top
of some of the lathes in his novelty
mill. 1t is hoped that this ice jam will
not start and it probably will not, as
the ice below is very solid. If it comes
in a body it must necessarily do great
damage at North Arson. The Cara
bassett is not very high, on account of
the gorge holding back the water.

57TH CONGRESS.
Frye Explains Purposes
Of Shipping Bill
In Speech Closely Listened toby Both
Sides Of Senate
President Decides That He Will Visit
Charleston Exhibition.

Washington, March 3.-The Senate,
today. began consideration of what
is PECULIARLY known as the shipping bill,
a measure to provide for ocean mail
service between the United States and
foreign potts and for the common de-
fence. to promote commerce and to
encourage deep sea fisheries. MIR.
Frye, Me, chairman of the committee
on commerce, made the opening state
mcnts in support of the bill. He oc-
cupied the floor for nearly two hours.
The policy of protection which has
been applied to American industries
with such beneficient results, he said.
had not been applied to the shipping
industry. The result of this short
sighted policy had been the decadence
of the American merchant marine and
the consequent humiliation of Ameri-
cans engaged in the shipping indus
try.
Mr.. Fryes address was largely tech
meal, but his argument was listened
to with close attention by senators
on both sides of the chamber.
Prior to the consideration of the
shipping bill many minor measures
were passed.

votes. But Mr.. Hall is a Colby man
and very popular in his ward, especi-
ally in railroad circles. In fighting him
the Republicans were up against odds
and lost. But it was a great victory
in Ward 2 as in other wards.
Ward 6 was another one that was
considered a bit doubtful. but the Re-
publicans swept everything there.
Thus when the smoke of battle had
cleared away it was found that Ward
| had gone for Reid by just two votes
with tie for alderman, a member of
the Board of Education had been elect
ed by the Democrats in Ward and
that they had carried Ward COM
plete, while the Republicans had all the
rest. What's the matter with that?
S'pose Waterville will be found in the
Democratic column on county and
State elections? Well, hardly.
Talk about your Republican city gov
ernments. mark this: Not counting the
tie in Ward 1, there are just four Dem
ocrats in the entire city organization,
These are the councilmen and member
of the Board of Education in Ward Z,
and the member of the Board of Educa-
ton in Ward 2. If that isn't defeating
the Democrats with vengeance, The
tie in Ward l will not have any effect
on the city council as whole, as the
Republicans will have an overwhelming
ma jOrity in both branches.
The vote for Mr. Berry can hardly
be called a surprise, although it was
somewhat. He polled just about~what
the conservative leaders predicted.
Outside those who watch things politi-
cal in the city and make constant
study of them the estimates varied
wildly. The result was somewhat of a
disappointment to those who had been
backing the Independent vote.
Mr.. Berry got the largest vote in
Ward ), where he received 95, and the
smallest in Ward Z, where ne got 80.
His average vote in the seven wards
was about 80. On the whole he made
a good showing and one that was a sur
prise to many.
The Republicans are well pleased
with Mr.. Blaisdell's vote. His plurality
is Of the good old-fashioned proportions
while the total cast for him is rather
above the average. 1t is a good sub

New York, March SC. w. Post of

London. Feb. IS, 1902.
MY Dear Sir:
Il have to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of the 31st ultimo. con-
veying your offer TO charter Shamrock
III for $4,000 during the coming
season and to give a presentation cup
for competition by Shamrock III and
Columbia, Shamrock III to be manned
by an American skipper and crew and
Columbia to be manned with a British
skipper and crew provided by myself.
In the first place | do not know
whether or not Columbia will be in
commission, inns season, but if so, il
would in my opinion be a far better
test to race Shamrock III against the
Columbia with the latter vessels own
skipper and crew of Americans, and.
if you wish to do this. / will not ac-
cept charter of Shamrock III as you
so kindly offer, but l will let you have
the use of her during the coming
season without charge, on the condi-
ton that you fit her out in racing trim
and pay all expenses for the racing
season.
II do not wish to discourage you,
but / feel certain that the Columbia
would lick you.
II am yours faithfully,

Waterville, Me-, March 3.-(SpeciaD
| it in the neck, this time! If the par
Ity was ever showed under in the his
tory of the good State of Maine ii
was right here in the beautiful Univer-
sity city, Monday, the Sd day of March,
| 1902. And the fight was won with their
own weapons, or at least what they
| thought was their own weapons, the
Independent party! When the move
mcnt started the majority of the
Democrats thought that it would just
be the best chance In the world to
knife the Republicans. They thought
of course that the temperance wing
| in the Republican party was by all
odds the stronger. Some of the ex-
| perienced and more aStute leaders de-
clared this to be a false doctrine and
that the Democratic party was sure
| to lose votes on account of the tenn
perance movement
| What the Democratic leaders dread
ed was apparently just what hap
lpened. The Independent party drew
about equally from the two old par
| ties, perhaps a bit stronger from the
Democrats. The latter could not
stand this leak and in consequence
they suffered the most overwhelming
defeat they have experienced in the
lefty for some time.
The Democrats felt the effects of the
lslump even in Ward Z, their strong
hold. In that ward they were trium-
plant as usual, but the majority for
mayor was only about IS, while that
for alderman and councilmen was only
labout 50. This is as well as the Re-
publicans have done in the ward for
some time and q good deal better than
was expected
There was large amount of cut
| ting in nearly all of the wards, so
there are some peculiar mixtures.
Aside from Ward Z, where the Demo-
Gratis were wholly victorious, the only
sign of contests was in Wards / and
II. One was apparently the hot
corner of the city. The Democrats
made hot fight there and came very
near doing something worth while.
AS it was they managed to get in
Just two more votes for Reid than was
cast for Blaisdell and make tie for
TIE dItitf lIidI. Hc VI tHc
ticket is Republican, however.
The Democrats of this ward were
up in the air when the result was an
nounced and declare that they will
contest the election and fight ii out
to the bitter end. The eligibility of
some of the voters is doubted and the
fight will doubtless be made on this
Issue If it is made at all. Judging
by the way the Democrats felt and
expressed themselves, Mast evening,
the matter will be fought out as rapid
ly as possible.
There was some more pretty hot
lighting in Ward 2. This is generally
considered as a natural Democratic
ward, hence the Republicans went after
it with a gun. There had been a close
contest among the Republicans for al
derman to start with. but when Mr..
Rand was nominated Mr. McCone joined
him with all his forces and the two
factions fought the fight against the
general enemy shoulder to shoulder.
Everything was carried by the Re-
publicans with the exception Of the
member Of the Board of Education. Ed
ward L. Hall was the Democratic can
didate for this office and defeated his
Republican opponent by, just eight

SMALLPOX GAINS.
Case of Varioloid Over in the
Town of Washington.
Portland Has New Case and South

Girl from Portland Taken Down With
the Disease at Hollis.

Washington, Me, March -(&peciaD
This town is having genuine small
poX scare as the result of the sickness
of OGcll Bowes, whose case is pro-
rounced by the physicians to be u mild
form Of smallpox or variolod. Mr.
Bowcs is n young man and with his
wife returned to town, about 10 days
ago, from MidlIctown, Conn, where
they have been employed il an insane
asylum. They stopped two days in Bos-
ton. He was taken sick, Friday. DR..
b. y. Croker found the case a sus-
picious one and promptly notified Dr.
Young of the State Board of Health.
DR.. Young sent out DR.. q. L. Washburn
of Augusta, who pronounced it case
of varioloid. Mr.. Bowcs was 'vacci-
mated IL years ago. The house is quar-
antined, and Mr.. Bowes' wife and her
parents are with him.
Portland Me, March 3.-Onv one new
case of smallpox is reported today, and
this has been under investigation since
yesterday The patient is George John-
son, living at 107 Oak street. He is a
young man about 70 years of age and
doubtless caught the disease from assoc
citation with inmates of the house of Dr.
Sylvester. He had room in the ell OF
l01 Oak street and was far removed from
the other inma ties. He has been taken to
the pesthouse and the other people in
the. house have been qUarantined, though
none of them have really come in con-
tact with him.
There is one new case in South Port
land, today. The patient is George Plum
mer, living on the SacO road. 1t is said
that he. got the disease from the house of
Dr. Sylvester. The doctors think that it
is not "a genuine case but only the effect
of Imagination.
The red flag is out in South Portland.
1t has been thought that plasterar
named Blanchard had the disease but
the nhysicians are now inclined to think
that it is an eruption caused by vaccina-
ton. He has not been taken to the pest
house but will remain under observation
for another q hours.
Hollis, March 3.-Smalipox has broken
out here. A girl from Portland who does
homework has the disease and the home
of Seth Dyer. where she boarded. has
