when They Cone Together, WIN cl,
Happens In Maine. There Ia
Always Trouble.

The spunky and stubborn bull
moose has again been defying tn,
locomotive in Maine. with the usual
disastrous results-to the moose
This time a whole moose family was
wiped out in about ten seconds
making a great waste OF big game
and lot OF work for the section
men, says n Bangor (Me) dispatch
in New York Tribune.
The engineer Of freight train
on the Bangor & Aroostook road, as
his locomotive rounded sharp
curve on down grade, saw big
bull, COW and calf He sounded
the whistle, expecting to see the
| whole family make break for the
woods, but they stood their ground,
and the bull, with snort OF def
anee, braced himself for the COM
bat, swinging his great antlered head
as though he expected TO toss the To-
comotive skyhigh.
The shrek OF the whistle sent men
scurrying over the tops OF the cars,
setting brakes. while the engineer
had the brakes on locomotive and
tender clamped up SO tightly that
the wheels were sliding and smok-
ing over the rails. The speed Of the
train and its momentum were too
great. however. to be overcome in
the short distance, and down swept
the fast freight upon the heroic
moose family. There was crash
and a crunching under the wheels,
while blood spattered over the boiler
head, and fragments Of moose went
whirling through the air.
When few rods further on the
train was brought to stop, it was
found that all three of the moose
had been killed, the carcasses Of the
cow and the calf being thrown some
distance from the track. while the
carcass Of the bun had been ground
under the wheels. AT the next sta
and a crew was sent back to bury
the moose family. The men said
that the bull was monster-one of
the largest ever seen along the line
Of the Aroostook road.
few days ago a train on the In
tercolonial railway ran race with
a big moose which was promenading
the track near Dalhousic Junction.
The moose ran for half mile or
more at a surprising speed, and then,
finding that the footing was bad on
the ties, left the track and ran along
In the ditch Here the animal tried
to jump high wire fence, but struck
half way over, and hung there while
the train came up. One OF the pas
sengers says that the moose looked
puzzled and ashamed when the train
passed him.

COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE.

A certain esteemed contemporary
that lays some claims to being q

facetious in publishing garbled ex'
tracts from township and local cor
respondencein itscountry exchanges
That treason Williams has very
sore finger" is an explanation to his
neighbors why he failed to run bis
corn planter and explained his alb
scence from Sunday school and de-
batting society. The neighbors were
all interested in "Walter Rice break
ing down his corn stalks and grub.
bling out the persimmon patch" that
had long marred the beauty pr the
community, and that "Col. Sharp
sticks close to home nowadays Is
great news to his friends who know
OF his rowing disposition and is food
for speculation as to what brought
about this great changein his habits.
The city reporter who was convulsed
with laughter over these simple re-
citaIs OF pastoral happenings, would
think it wonderful news and devote a
half column to the doings OF though
Ike" or "Wicked Annie, as recited in
a police court; or put a plea head on
a three line notice, that "Col. Tale
faro, the colossal liar of jim DOMAINS
palace saloon, was seen with his
tackle and bait preparatory to TAX
ing weeks outing in the Ozarks." "
This is the same fellow who speaks OF
visitors from the country as "Rubes"
and intimates that the field is open
for the gold brick" vendor.
A paper is OF interest and value to
its readers when itpublishes the news
they want to read, and il our tastes
haven't been cultivated up to the
enjoyment OF plain DRINKS and scan-
dals Of Clabber Alley, it can be cred
tied to our environments and should
not subject us to the ridicule OF the

BABY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About.
Lives of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CuticuraSoap, Ointment and Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object Of the most tender So
licitude, not only because Of Its suffer-
Ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation Is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications Of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool the blood In the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation Of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp Of crusts,
scales and dandrufi, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,

A man by the name OF Dick Dillon
was badly injured by the premature
explosion OF a blast, near Cole Camp,
one day last week. 1t was the mans
duty to put off" blasts, and he was
leaning over looking down at the
hole when the blast went off, the
mole charge taking effectin his face.
As result the whole front OF his
face was torn away from his eyes to
his lower jaw, making cavity large
enough to place a mans fist in. His
eyes were still In his head, but it 10
supposed the sight was destroyed.
The man was taken to Kansas City,
although in his awful condition he
was able when preparations were
being made to take him up to the
train, to stand up in his room and
call for beer.-Eecton Times.

MOBS SLAY IN ILLINOIS.
The Lynehing Of Negro Boy Started a

Race Riot Near Thebes.
Thebes, ILL.,, April 26 An unknown
, negro, II years old, was lynched by
a mob Of angry farmers near the
village OF Santa Fe this afternoon
for attacking the 10-year old daugh.
ter OF Farmer Branson Davis, and
this was followed by a general on
s'aught upon colony OF negroes liv-
ing In tents, who were engaged in
bridge construction work. The tents
were burned and many negroes were
shot, but so far as known none was
killed. Hundreds OF shots were ex-
changed. but no whites were hurt.
CHILD SCREAMED, NEGRO FLED.
Branson Davis lives one-halt mile
east OF Santa Fe, a small village near
here. While his 10year- old daugh-
ter was in the barnyard today the
negro accosted her. She ran, but he
seized her and her screams brought
her mother to the rescue. The negro
fled. Officers we're notified and we're
soon in pursuit. News of the assault
speedily spread among the neighbor-
ing farmers and resulted in an angry
mob starting in search OF the assail-
ant. The negro was meanwhile cap
tured by officers and was being
brought to Santa Fe when the mob
of farmers was met.
BEGGED FOR MERCY.
A struggle resulted, during which
the farmers secured the negro. He
confessed to the crime, but begged for
mercy. Without "a word the mob
s'arted with the prisoner toward the
new bridge being constructed across
the Mississippi river, where he was
hanged to an oak tree without cere-
mony or delay. After the body had
dangled in the air a few minutes it
was riddled with bullets.
The officers endeavored to dispense
the mob, hut their efforts were un..
awaiting, A rush was made for a
colony OF several hundred negr oes
employed on bridge construction
work and living in tents near the
bridge. The negroes saw the mob
coming and opened fire.
NEGROEs SHOT DOWN.
A fusilade followed and the whites
fired with effect Many 1.-THE negroes
we're shot down. None OF the mob
was injured and it is not known how
seriously the negroes were wounded.
The mob pressed forward, notwith-
standing the steady fire, until the
negroes turned and fled toward a
nearby wood taking their wounded
with them. The mob then fell upon
he tents and buried them. After &C
complishing a general work of de-
-truction the mob dispersed. Extra
police were sworn in and to night the
1illage is under heavy guard. Ex-
element is intense. The village is in
the extreme southwest portion OF

Washington, April 2S.-It seemed
to be we'll established to-day that
President Roosevelt is now in touch
daily with the developments in the
postoffice scandal. On this account
the impression prevails that Post
master General Payne contemplates

up" certain divisions even before the
inquiry has been completed.

ney, Mr.. Beach, had a conference with

II the grand jury has taken up the
