To the People of Maine:
A national memorial association has
been organized for the purpose of col
Letting the funds necessary for the
erection of n suitable monument at the
grave of William Mckinley. Auxiliary
associations have been appointed by
the governors of the various states to
cooperate with the national associa-
ton in this noble work. ! The Maine
Auxiliary Association consists of
eighteen members, representing all of
the sixteen counties of the State, and
is made up as follows:
AndrOscOggin, Seth NJ. Carter, All
burn; Aroostook, r. w. Shaw, Houl-
ton; Cumberland, VIM. H. Dow, Oscar
r. Wish, Portland; Franklin ]. M. S.

The work of raising funds in each
county is under the immediate direc-
ton of the member or members repre-
senting it on the above State commit
tee. 1t is expected that active cooper
alton will be given. in the work by lead
ing citizens in all the towns of the
State.
Wednesday, the Goth day of Janu-
airy. will be the 59th anniversary
Of the birth of William Mckinley
During his eventful and useful life he
was very fond of and took a wonderful
interest in children. I take the liberty
of suggesting that this day be known
as mckinley day" and that at least
some portion of it be set aside by
all the schools of Maine, as will be done
in other states Of the union, for special
exercises appropriate to the occasion,
also that each pupil who desires to do
so be given an opportunity to contrib
ute his or her mite to the Mckinley
memorial fund. 1 also suggest that on
the Sunday next preceding the Goth
of January, the churches pay appropri-
ate tribute to the memory of our late
President and that those who wish it
may be given an opportunity to help
on with their contributions this great
work that shall testify through the
years to come to the love and esteem
in which the American people cherish
the just fame Of one Of the greatest
men our country has ever produced.
The people of Maine should feel a
pride in having their State take an
honorable and creditable position In
this great work, and should do their
full share in making it possible. Con-
tributions may be sent to the member
of the county committee or forwarded
direct to the treasurer, William H. Dow
at Portland, Maine.

Governor of Maine.

court before Judge Strout. H. T. Glover

drinking beer, and that they found
Niles in another room bending over a
key and drawing beer into pail. They
testified that one of the family said to
Niles: Il told you that you'd be
caught and that he said, Il must

AWFUL ULCERS
Facial Sores and Bl0tches
q Sign of. Blood Disease.
Such Troubles
Cured by vinoI.

The face that is blotched or covered
with unsightly pimples is not only .
source of modification and annoyance
but is dangerous.
Where such a condition exists there
must be something radically wrong.
When such eruptions become worse
and give place to ulcers the danger is, Of
course, enhanced. Ulcers frequently form
first on any Of the great vital organs, g.
pecially the stomach.
Won't you, if you suffer from any such
blood impurities give us the opportunity
of telling you how you can get rid of such
ills safely and quickly. Our Vinol will
help you.
This, we firmly believe, and the
reason for our belief is that we have
learned that Vinol in its mission of
rebuilding the body and creating strength
does as much in the way of purifying the
blood as it does in creating new, healthy
flesh tissue. In making the bod strong
and healthy it invigorates everyone of the
great vital organs and enables them to
properly perform their work.
Impurities of the blood are thus more
quickly displaced by new health ele-
ments that are taken by the stomach
from the food which by means of Vinol
is fully assimiated.
II wish to say few words in praise of
vinol. For over year 1 was severely
troubled with liberated stomach which
caused me much pain; for three months
l could not eat any solid food. l became
weak, tired and all run down and lost
much flesh. Hearing of the great merit
of Vinol, bought bottle, and after
giving it a good trial, 1 feel better in
every way, and must give all the praise
to Vinol." MARY E. BRYANT, 81 Prescott
Street, Mansfield, Ohio. -
Remember our faith in vinol Is so
strong that we sell It on q guarantee
and will gladly refund to anyone the
cost of the remedy who is not salts.

ATERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
S w. James Slain by His Brother-in-
Law, L. G. Myers.
ISpecial to The State.l

Scranton, June 20. - S. W.
James, a prominent farmer OF the
High Hill section, three miles east
of Scranton. was killed this morn
ins by L. e. Myers, his bruther-ln-
law and well-known young
planter. The shocking tragedy
vas made known here this morn
ins when Myers came to town and
stated that he was on his way TO
Kingstree to employ counsel and
surrender himself to Sheriff Gra-
ham. When seen by this corre-
spondent. Myers declined to dis
cuss the affair, saying he preferred
to remain silent until he could
consult counsel.
The homicide was the culmlna-
ton of a family feud which has
existed for several years. There
were no eye witnesses to the kill
ing. My information is that Myers
aud James had a dispute yester
day about dividing fence. Myers
forbade James TO interfere with
the fence. This morning they
met and renewed the quarrel.
James advanced on Myers with a
fence rail. Myers shot James and
broke his arm, causing him to
drop the rail. James continued
TO advance, and when In reach
Myers struck him a stunning
blow on the head with his gun,
breaking the breech. James fell,
aud Myers beat his head violently
with the gun barrel. James
head and face was horribly mutt
lated. He lived only a few hours.
The parties are we'll connected.
and are prominent in this section.
The tragedy is deeply deplored.
