NO DANGER FROM CATTLE.
Maine Has All Along Been Free from
Foot and Mouth Disease.

Portland, Me-, Feb. Sit has been
long thought that the State of Maine
was absolutely free from any cases OF
the much dreaded foot and mouth dis
ease among cattle, but still there We're
some who were skeptical on this point
and when the embargo was laid on this
port by the British government the
suspicious of the latter were confirmed,
as they thought. In speaking of the
condition of the disease, DR.. F. w.
Huntington, the United States live
stock inspector at this port, this morn
ing. said:
Maine may now be said to be free
from all danger from the foot and
mouth disease. There was really no
danger at first, but the British govern
ment COMPOUNDED the states of Massa-
chusetts and Maine, thinking that
when the first was mentioned it In
cluded the latter, and that Massachu-
sets was only a term for all the states
of New England. In this way the en-
barge was laid on Maine wholly with
out causes. But now the British board
of agriculture ought to be satisfied
having had the embargo on this State
for so long. There is no good reason
why the cattle should not again be
shipped from this port, and / think
they will be in the near future"

TWO DEATHS
Have Resulted from Bridgton's
Burning Accident.
Mrs. Cannon, Who HeroicaIIy Tried
to Save Children, Is Dead.
Oldest Child Dead and Youngest Will
Be a Cripple.

Bridgton, Me-, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Willis
Cannon, who was SO terribly burned,
Monday afternoon, in endeavoring to
save her children, who were enveloped
in flames from an exploding lamp, died,
Monday night. The oldest child had
died, early that afternoon The young
est child is not expected to live, and
if it does will probably be crippled for
life.
Mrs. Cannon was about to begin the
dressing OF the two little ones, when in
some way, the tablecloth was pulled
off the table, taking the lighted lamp
with it, The lamp struck the floor
breaking into a hundred pieces, and in
an instant the two children were en-
veloped in flames.
The mothers heroic efforts to save
the lives of her children caused her
own death from the burns she received.
The Oldest child fingered till about 3
o'clock in the afternoon and the mother
died before midnight.
Great pieces of flesh dropped from
the limbs of both victims, and the hair
of their heads was burned away. The
faces of both were terribly diSfigured
The youngest child may live but it
is thought will be a cripple for life, it's
limbs being so badly burned.
Mrs. Cannon was a most estimable
young woman, the daughter of Mr.
Frank Seavey, assistant superintend-
ent of Forest WOODEN mills. The scenes
at the desolated home are heartrending,
the husband being almost in a state of
utter collapse. The damage to the
house was slight.

A MASS MEETING
At Brunswick Endorses Plan for Own
ina Own Waterworks.

Brunswick. Me-, Feb. 3.-Citizens
met in mass meeting, tonight, in the
interest of the bill before the Legisla-
ture, authorizing municipal ownership
of the water supply of the town. Pro-
tests were entered against the alleged
impurity of the present supply which
is controlled by the Maine Water Co.
Analysis of Prof. Franklin c. Robinson
of Bowdoin College, it was asserted,
showed that at times the water APP
preached the danger point as regards
impurity. Plumbers stated that they
had removed eels and fish from tanks
and pipes. A schedule of water charges
in 100 towns was read and upon it was
based the statement that the cost here
lis excessive. A delegation from the
town will attend the legislative hearing
on the bill, Thursday.

DIVIDED OPINION
At St. John Over Proposed
Dam in Maine.
Board Of Trade Proposes to Carefully
Investigate the Matter.
Condemns Scheme to Shut Out Mutt.
lated United States Coins.

st. John. n. B., Feb. 3.-The ST. John
Board of Trade. this afternoon, APP
pointed a strong committee of lumber
men. mill men and schoonerowners to
consider action in connection with the
proposed damming of the river ST. John
at Fort Kent in Maine. The board is
not a unit as to there being danger to
st. John mills and lumber shipments
if the dam be built.
1t was contended on one hand that
it would lead to much lumber being
sent to Maine mills and the product
sent by rail to Bangor for shipment in
stead of coming here by the ST. John
river. On the other hand it was held
that Americans owning mills here had
lumber tracts in the Maine woods and
would continue to get their logs down
the st. JohE river whether the dam
were built or not.
The board was unanimous however,
on the ACCESSIBILITY of carefully look
ing into the matter and also into the
proposed legislation for diverting the
waters of Lake Chamberlain, Maine,
from the ST. John river.
Dealing with the question of worn
and mutilated coins, the Board of
Trade sent to it's council for considera-
ton. this afternoon, the following res
olution:
Resolved. That the Bankers Asso-
iation (of Canada) be informed that
this board does not approve of the res-
olution of the Hamilton Board of Trade
eferring to the stopping of the circula-
ion in Canada of United States silver
;oins. such coins. if not mutilated and
no matter how much worn, being thor
oughly good because redeemable for re-
coinage at Washington, and circulation
Of such coins by tourists and others
visiting Canada being matter which
should not be prevented.

HIDDEN AWAY.
A Discovery Worth While.

1t startles one when he comes to
know absolutely that wrong selection
of food is the direct cause of the weak
eyes, kidney trouble, dyspepsia or
whatever may be the form disease
takes. and that right food will work a
natural cure. But it is easy to prove
by actual test. The following is an ex-
ample:
Five months ago l was in despair,
not knowing the cause of my desperate
condition. l had run down to 105
pounds and suffered from a chronic
sore throat, sore eyes and what was
hardest to bear an awful nervousness
and hysteria which at times almost
ran into insanity.
Finally a large swelling appeared
in the throat and l feared cancer The
nervousness got worse and when
found l could stand it no longer and
no medicine / could take would cure
me. l concluded to take the advice of
the Postum Cereal Company and
change diet. My stomach never hurt
me so thought that was all right any
how. But l learned thing or two
Well | quit tea and coffee entirely
and began eating Grape-Nuts three
times day. | began to improve and
get well. What relief. My sore eyes,
throat trouble and terrible nervousness
gradually left and / have gained 35
pounds in weight. 1t proved to be a
hidden stomach trouble that did not
show except in other parts of the body,
but the real trouble came from
stomach. ana so when the right food
like Grape-Nuts was given to the
stomach. it quickly got well and made
good blood that cured the other ais
Name furnished upon application to
Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
People don't realize the great truth
that the stomach and the food are re-
sponsible in most all cases for mans
happiness or distress.
Nothing is more sure than for people
to improve in health if they will
change the diet and use Grape Nuts
three times day.

PIER EXTENSION LIKELY.
Var Department Nay Yield to De
mands of Business Men.


Washington, jane 12-An argument in favor
OF the extension of the pier head lines in the
North River was received at the War Depart
ment to-day from Mr.. Hawkes. Commissioner of
Docks and Ferries at New-York. In view of the
fact that the engineers of the War Department
have reported against this extension. and the
further fact that the argument of Commissioners
Hawkes. seems to be backed UP enthusiastically
by the commercial houses of NewYork. the
issue seems to be clearly defined between the
War Department engineers and New-York City.
Neither Secretarz Root Assistant Secretary
Sanger was on duty at the department to-day,
and the details OF the argument submitted could
not be ascertained. Enough was divulged, how
ever, to show that the business interests of
New-Yorl1 are de cidedly Of the opinion that the
extension OF two hundred feet which is asked
will not be a menace to the availability of the
channel but, the contrary. is a necessary
Improvement demanded by the commerce of the
city.
With this array Of backing. the prediction
seems be justifiable THAI the pier extensions
will be authorized when the matter is finally
disposed of by the Secretary of War. 1t is not
unlikely that the engineers will be called upon
to make supplementary report on the Ques-
ton
