Mother Always Keeps 1t Handy.

My mother suffered from distressing
pains and general i'll health due prima-

ing, Verona, Mo. 1.-TWO years ago got
her to try Kodol. She grew better at
once and now at the age of seventy sx
eats anything she wants, remarking that
she fears no bad effects as she has her
bottle of Kodol handy" Don't waste
time doctoring symptoms. Go after the
case. If yovr stomach is sound your
health will be good. kodol rests the
stomach and strengthens the body by
digesting your food. II is natures own
tonic. Geo. f. Sampson.

Railroad Disa sters.

The interstate commerce commission
has published bulletin on collisions and
deraiments of trains and casualties for
the three first months of the year.
According to this showing the number
of persons killed in train accidents was
PIP, and of injured 2,lll. Accidents of
other kinds including those sustained by
employees while at work and by passen-
gers in getting on or off cars, brings
the total number up to sl3 killed and
8 958 injured. During this period there
were l ,220 collisions and s3s derailments
of which 22l collisions and 81 derail-
ments affected passenger trains, result
ing in Al fatal accidents to passengers
and $40 injured. The damage to ears,
engines and roadway by these accidents
amounted to $l,914, l5S.
There have been an unusually large
number of accidents during the summer
months, due to heavy rains, washouts
and laBdslides and the casualties for the
next three months will probably be
larger than those of the first quarter.

Portland Advertiser: Speaker Hen
defson will undermine his former popu-
larity if he keeps on in the impulsive
way he is going. Some time ago he
offended by working and writing letters
against Cuban reciprocity, and now ne
has brought down upon his head the
wrath of the National Association OF
Millers for having held up an amend
ment aimed to do away with what they
regarded a. unjust discrimination against
American -four in the unloading charges
at London. The speaker may have good
reason for his act, but the millers are
going to work against bis reelection.

Portland Press: According to the
reports of the Maine Central officials
William Jennings Bryan did not draw
the tremendous concourse of people
from the country that some of the press
dispatches published would lead one to
believe. The special train from New
castle into Rockland in the morning
carried only eighty people while the
special from Brunswick to Augusta car
ried only thrty-nine people and the sp'
cial the other way had on board only
sixty-eight people. Many might have
iourneyed by electric road but from the
territory not covered by electric roads
the number carried was not very large
and the railroad rates were the same as
those of the electrcs in most cases.

Fastest In the World.
THE Public Ledger


The new Maine is bound to do her
part, so that the old Maize may not be
forgotten. In her trial of speed Thurs
day she surpassed all previous record,
for battleships, averaging over a meas
ured course of 1929 knots an hour for a
distance of 2975 miles. But even this
was not her highest speed. She steamed
one-half hour at the rate of 1873 knots
an hour and another half hour at the
rate of 1896 an hour. With engine
limbered by use, she may well be ex-
pected to do even better than this. She
may safely be regarded as the fastest
first class battleship in the world. Great
Britain has none with normal speed
above 10 knots. The number even of
cruisers which can outfoot her is not
very large. Her builders and the gov
eminent are equally to be congratulated.

It's 25Oth Anniversary.

The town Of York though not the first
settlement by II years, enjoys the dis
tinction Of being the first itwon duly in
corporated in America and will on Tues
day next, Aug. 9Th, celebrated In a
worthy manner its 250th anniversary.
The forming of the town dates back
to 1922 when portion of the territory
was granted by the Plymouth council to
Sir Fernando Gorges and Capt. John
Mason who spent large sums to establish
settlements In Maine. Two years later
1t was settled and originally called
Agamentieus and In 1912 endowed with
city government under the name Of
Georgeana, the first incorporated city
in the United States.
Ten years later Massachusetts assum
ed control of the little colony and the
city charter revoked and the name chang
ed to York and Incorporated in the town,
the limits being changed but little to
the present time.
In 1892 the town was nearly wiped out
OF existence by the Indians who applied
the torch to every house except five
garrisoned houses and the meeting house
and the old Jail. All the town records
for 70 years were destroyed. 160 of the
Inhabitants were either killed or made
prisoners. Other massscres took place
to 1872 when the Indians made descent
upon the town and killed 26 OF the in
habitants. Until 1746 all attending
public worship were armed prepared to
repel attack.
The people Of York took a prominent
part In the fight for independence. With.
in "a hours after the news of the battle
of Lexington had arrived a company OF
GO men, armed and equipped were on
their way to Boston to join the troops
just prior to the Declaration OF Indepen.
dence the inhabitants of the town voted
that If Congress should declare the
colonies independent of Great Britain
they would pledge their lives and all that
they had to sustain Congress.
One feature of the program will be 9
parade with floats illustrating Older
times. The speaker of the day will be
Hon. James z. Baxter of Portland and
among other notables will be Samuel L
Clemens MARK Twain, Thomas Nelson
Page and William Dean Howells. Al
invitation has been rendered to President
Roosevelt to be present.

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of NJ A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly,
His malady was Yellow Jaundice, He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he writes
"After taking two bottles | was wholly
cured" A trial proves its matchless
merit for all stomach, liver and kidney
troubles. Only 50c. Sold by F. II.

Boston Transcript: If it is true, AS
reported, that the new colonies in South
Africa are to be taxed to make up the
grant of SIS 100000 for the land settle
ment and repatriation of the Boer families,
it looks very much as though the British
Government had been selling the South
Africans gold brick. The reported
determination to tax the South Africans
for this purpose comes pretty near a

then it must be remembered how many

and of mercenary politics. 1t is a les
son to take to heart. People may talk
very much at large about the wrongs
of their fellow man, and strive hard to
fleece their pockets. This has been
what has been going on. It has come
to an end, a very disastrous end, but
the final end is not in full sight by any
means.

There is great deal of misconception
as to what the executive can do and
what it can not do. The cry goes up
continually, there is no money, but in
many cases it is not a question of money
at all, it is the failure of the legislature
to make specific appropriations. With
out such appropriations there might be
a couple of millions surplus in the trea-
sury and not a brick or board could
be put in place. On the other hand,
had appropriations been made, it would
have been quite possible to have OBJ
tanned money for needed improvements
upon the good faith of a future legisla-
ture. The fault lies with the legisla-
tors who failed utterly in doing their
duty.
