There is Mir. Christopher Larsen, the leading painter and decorator of that city, who says:
 'I have not had a sick day since was cured of kidney and liver trouble, and painters collie, by Dr. Kennedy's new medicine called Cal-cura Solvent. It drove the disease out of my system, so it never came back. Nothing like Cal-cura Solvent to purify the blood"

BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.
 The baseball season has commenced here among the boys. In answer to a challenge from the Romford baseball nine, whom the New Preston nine had defeated early in April, match game was played last Saturday afternoon on the church lawn on New Preston Hill, between the above mentioned nines Milton Stillson is the worthy captain of the New Preston nine and also pitch CT. Aaron Wright makes an excellent catcher, while Ned Lyman was first baseman, Herbert Hoffman, second baseman, Raymond Cogswell, third baseman, Alfred Cable, shortstop, Harry Lyman, center fielder, Stanley Wright, left fielder. MT Pond, teacher at Romford, proved to be good cap tain of the Romford nine and pitcher, with Joe Shaughnessy as catcher. Theodore Bent of this place acceptably performed the duties of umpire and | the game proved lively from start to | finish. It was evident after the first inning that the ROmford nine were outgeneraled by the New Preston nine throughout the game proved themselves to be the best batters. The smallest members of the New Preston nine understood the fine points of the game equally as well as the larger boys and the game finished with score of B to IA, in favor of New Preston. Our boys came home in we'll earned glee over their conquest and undoubtedly will soon be heard from again on the diamond. They have pluck and true energy and enter into their contests with all the earnestness necessary to conquer nation, and we think it is as proper to thus encourage their zeal and help them develop their muscle by bid ding them:success. Such boys will soon be men and if the same energy is dis played in their coming life battles as they showed last Saturday on New Preston Hill, we have got some boys who will be heard from in decisive manner.

REVOKE LICENSES
BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL FL
NALLY TAKES ACTION.
Not Only Clears the Leading Street.
but the Whole Town, of Saloons.
Declares All Licenses Revoked
and Will Refund Unexpired Bal
ances--Backed by Public Meeting

Bremerton. June S.-Bremerton will
be purged of the offending saloons with
in the next "a hours, and the cause for
the placing OF ban on the Puget Sound
navy yard will be removed. Hereafter
it will be a misdemeanOr to sell, or keep
for sale, Intoxicating liquors, and Bre-
merton will be in a class by itself as a
model town, from moral standpoint,
adjacent to a navy yard. The summary
cleaning away of the hindrances to the
navy yards prosperity was done at a
meeting of the city council Saturday
night. at which many citizens were
present.
In the presence of practically the en-
tire town, the council of Bremerton
Saturday night passed an ordinance
mmarily revoking the license OF ev-
cry saloon in the place and making it
misdemeanor to sell or keep for sale
intoxicating liquors. The satisfaction
of the townspeople was keen and genu-
inc and was manifested in hearty
demonstration after the vote was taken.
OF the five councilmen, Messrs. Ward,
Kost and Deitz voted for the prohibit
ton ordinance, while the other two
members declined to vote, not because
they were opposed to cleaning out the
saloons, but on account of the differ.
ence in view regarding the time of this
action and the manner of compensation
to the license holders.
The dominant feature of the meeting
was the determination of the citizens
to 90 the limit in the work of reform.
The unanimous sentiment and the
heartiness of the expressions heard on
all sides to the effect that the saloons
must go at once, left no doubt in the
minds of the councilmen as TO the
wishes of the people.
They were enthusiastic for the well
fare of their town, and the keen inter
est they displayed arose not 20 much
from the motive of business expediency
as from the desire that Bremerton
should be for its own sake and for it's
reputation in the eyes of the nation,
town thai would be credit to itself as
the accessory of the greatest navy yard
of the Pacific. If evident sincerity is
any guarantee of practical results, Bre-
merton will at once be put in a condi-
ton that should be eminently pleasing
to President Roosevelt and the secre-
tary of the navy.
