AUGUSTA LOCALS.



Tho MANY friends Of Alexander Nc
Caueland will be panied to learn tnat
-. death occurred at $50 o'clock sun
day evening. Mr.. MeCausland had
mt hsen in good health for sew
eral months and for the past few
weeks he had been quite ILL
heart, trouble being the ailment
with which he was afflicted.
week ago last Thursday he was stricken
with apoplexy and since that time he
had been gradually sinking until the
end. which came peacefully and with
ont apparent pain, as stated above.
A widow three sons, Henry and Arthur
Of this city and Fred of Portsmouth.
N. H.. and three sisters. Mrs. VIM.
Farwell and Mrs. James Hodgkins,
Augusta, and Mrs. Weston Curtis,
stockton, Cal, survive him. His age
was 80 years. Mrs. McCausland, who
has been quite sick, was more comfort
able. Sunday, than she has been for
several days. and stood the shock OF
her husbands death with calm forth
tude.
Alexander McCausland was born in
Augusta and had always resided here.
For more than 30 years he had been
almost continuously in the employ OF
the city as driver Of the city team. and
was known to the great majority OF
Augustus residents as one of the most
affable and agreeable men in the COM
munity. He was faithful and pains
taking official, always reliable, ever
ready at his post when duty called
him. and could be thoroughly depended
SC,
an alarm of fire rang out, night or day,
in summer or in winter. Alexander NC
Causland never failed to respond with
an alacrity that was simply wonderful.
It seemed as if he never slept, but was
always ready for the summons which
he was constantly anticipating ana
which he watched for with an alertness
that was innate in his nature.
Many and many time crowds or
Deople have watched him drive his
spirited horses down Bridge street at
an almost break-neck pace, and have
noticed how deftly he would turn the
corner of Water street, either up or
down. and bring the steamer Cushnoc,
in the old days, or the hose cart, In re-
cent years, to the scene of the flre IN
an incredibly short time; and they
have marvelled at his ability to do so.
And vet it was natural for him to do
all this. 1t was simply his way OF do
ing his duty, honestly, fearlessly and
vet with the most painstaking care. He
knew every turn and quirk OF every
street and lane and place in the city
and he knew just how far he could go
before slackening the speed of his
horses. An accident with him in the
drivers seat was rarity. The ire
men loved him as a brother, and their
sorrow al his decease will be bitter and
poignant.
Alexander McCausland was man
whom everybody admired for his ad-
mirable qualities. for his amiable dis
position, for his loyalty to friends, for
his devotion to wife and children and
for his fidelity to every trust reposed
in him. His loss to the community will
be keenly felt: his death will be gen.
orally regretted.

FREE TO EVERYONE.
A Priceless Book Sent Free for the
Asking.

There be books and books" some
edifying, others entertaining, and still
others instructive. The average man is
so busily engaged in the labor of
money making that he has little time
and less inclination for books which
instruct; hence when he feels out OF
sorts. either he gives no heed to Ma
lures warning, or he consults physi-
clan. at an expense which little
knowledge would have enabled him to
avoid. There is probably no COM
plant upon which the public is so little
informed. as hemorrhoids. or piles;
this little book tells all about their ma
ture. cause and cure; it treats or the
different forms Of blind. bleeding. Itch
ing and protruding piles. describes
their symptoms. and points the way to
a cure SO simple and inexpensive, that
anyone can understand and apply. The
Importance of promptness and thor
oughness is vital, for the disease Will
not cure itself, and Nature, alone, un-
aided will rot accomplish cure, while
the consequences are too painful for
detailed description. You are told how
piles originate, the reason for their
appearance usually being that some
OF the rules Of correct living have been
violated. and (what is more to the
point how you may rid yourself OF
this bane of human existence. All
affections of the rectum are treated IN
simple plain language, SO that all may
understand. and learn how the cause
may be removed. Many people surfer
from piles, because after trying the
numerous lotions. ointments and salves
that are on the market, without RELIEF,
they come to the conclusion that a
surgical operation is the only thing left
to try, and rather than submit to the
shock ard risk to life of an operation,
prefer to suffer on. This little book
tells how this may be avoided, and a
cure be effected without pain, fncon-
venience or detention from business
