A Unique Record.
Not another like 1t in our broad RepuD-
lie

To give positive home testimony in every 10
cality is of itself unanswerable proof of merit;
but when we add to this the continued endorse
ment from people who testified years ago no evil
dence can be stronger. citizen OF Belfast
gratefully acknowledges the good received from
Doan's Kidney Pills. and when time has tested
the cure we find the same hearty endorsement,
with added enthusiasm and continued praise.
Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work Of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and such record is unique
in the annals of medicine.
Frederick S. Johnson, proprietor of Urst Hill,
Poor's Mills says: at afforded me much pleas
ure in the winter of 1897 to testify to the great
merits of Doans Kidney Pills in our Belfast
papers. 1t affords me still greater pleasure now
to say that my appreciation with that remedy
has increased with time. This cure for disorder
ed kidneys is like tried and trusted friend,
thoroughly reliable No promise is made for it
which is not fulfilled Before took course OF

action of the kidney secretions for two years.

The condition of Rockland's streets
has long been reproach to that other
wise enterprising city. In rainy wealth
Ell they have been rivers of mud, and in
dry times everything was obscured by
clouds of dust. Conditions have meas
urably improved since the construc-
ton of the LIMERICK railway did away
with much of the heavy teaming; and
now Rockland has enlisted under the
banner of Good Roads and equipped
with a rock crusher and a steam road
roller is setting al example which other
places will do well to follow, and with
out delay. The town or city which has
good roads and other modern conven-
fences will have tie preference of those
seeking q place of residence or location
for business; and it is a we'll establish
ed fact that the value of real estate is
greatly enhanced by the construction
of good roads. la this connection we
trust that every one will read the artl-
cle from the Rockland Courier Gazette
OH the End page, in which illustrations
are given of the Champion Crusher
and the steam road roller.

rious injury last Friday while INDUCING in
his favorite recreation of trout fishing near
the village. After landing couple OF the
speckled beauties he accidentally fell,
striking his leg upon a bit of ledge and
breaking the bone just below the knee
Joint. In that disabled condition he lay or
crawled until the searching party, organz-
ed to look for him when his family became
alarmed at his nOn-appearance at tea time,
found him near the Raymond Grant place,
his cries having attracted MIR. G.'s attention
about O'Clock in the evening. The limb
was so badly swollen on reaching home
that DR.. Stevens could do nothing toward
setting the bone or even determine whether
one or both were broken. At this writing
the patient is confined to his bed awaiting
the abating of the swelling sufficiently to
allow the necessary surgical treatment. All
friends extend sympathy and hope for rap

W IN LitfokI.
A memorial service was held at the
Methodist church last Sunday morning for
Bishops Randolph S. Foster and John F.
Hurst, who so recently died. A portrait of
each, appropriately draped, was placed on
easels at either side of the pulpit and very
interesting sketch of the life of each was
given by the pastor. A very touching trib-
ute was also paid to the memory of sister
Lucy A. Grindle, a devoted member of this
church, who passed away last week. Miss
Grindle died Tuesday, May 10Th, at Castine,
where she passed the winter, at the home
of her nephew, Mr. Perkins, after anilness
of less than two weeks. The immediate
cause of her death was heart disease. There
was no member of this church and COM
munty more universally loved and respect
ed than she. 1t could be truly said, ''None
knew her but to love her, or named her but
to praise" A beautiful and tender personal
tribute to her life and character from Rev.

.EXHUMEO BODY OF
MURDERED MAN
JAPANESE PHYSICIAN WAS UN-
ABLE TO TELL SIZE OF BULLET
THAT CAUSED DEATH.

The remains of Oda the Japanese
who died Saturday night of gunshot
wounds inflicted upon him by the
Chinese highwayman last Friday, were
exhumed yesterday IN order to assist
the police in securing evidence. The
reason for this extra work was the
failure of DR.. j. Uchida of the Japanese
hospital to determine the caliber of the
bullets that caused the death of the
man.
At the inquest yesterday into
the death of Oda DR.. Uchida testified
that death had been caused by acute
peritonitis and shock resulting from
the two bullet wounds in the intestines
of the dead Japanese. The witness
was unable to determine whether the
wounds had been caused by "a large or
small sized bullet. In this respect
the testimony was quite unsatisfactory
The body was eXhumed and DR.
Pratt after two hours work found one
of the bullets in the bladder and the
other in the leg. They We're So caliber
DR.. Pratt says the intestines were not
perforated.

CHINESE GANG CAPTURED.
Thought The Crowd Were Engaged in
Counterfeiting Work.

The gang of Chinese who were caught
yesterday by the police are thought to
have also been engaged in the work of
counterfeiting. Chester Doyle and
Officer All On searched the shack of
the crowd yesterday afternoon and
discovered materials and implements
for counterfeiting nickles.
Lee Jim the fourth member of the
gang was caught by officer Mulleitner
last night. The Chinese made a des
perate attempt to escape and, after
being chased for some distance, was
recaptured.
The body of Oda the Japanese who
died Saturday from the effects of
wounds said to have been received at
the hands of Chu Hoy the alleged high
wayman, was exhumed last night by
DIR. Pratt. Under highly disagreeable
conditions, a further post norton was
made of the body with the result that
the two bullets fired into the man were
found. Both were 3S caliber.

but, in my opinion, too much cen-
sure cannot be visited upon those
guards and officials who obeyed the
order not to resist the escaping pris-
oners. orders given by officials in the
hands of convicts are not the orders
of the officials, but are the orders Of
the convicts themselves. And any free
urison official or guard who, under
these circumstances, obeys the orders
of cpnvicts. is guilty of the grossest
breach of discipline, and deserving of
the severest Censure. And, I repeat,
from the evidence taken before your
Board, it appears to me that the whole
prison force, with few exceptions, at
the point of the outbreak. became
thoroughly demoralized and for the
time being absolutely inefficient. And,
i'm my judgment. it is not necessary to
consider whether or not they, or any
of them. were guilty Of cowardce.
"In your report Won have mentioned
one or two cases Of especially note
worthy abiect neglect Of duty by pris-
on officials at the commands of the
escaping convicts. One of the most ag-
gravated, and aggrevating, examples
of this appears to me to be the case of
the guard who, mounted on horse
back and armed with a gun, rode up,
at the command of the convicts. anu
surrendered himself and his weapon
into their hands.
81 note also your recommendations
that certain convicts be granted ex-
ecutive clemency as a reward for SER
vices rendered to the officials at the
time OF the outbreak. You mention
particularly Joseph Casey, a life-term-
err; John Martinez, serving a twenty
year sentence since 1895; Charles Alb
bott second termer, serving a life sen.
tence; o. c. Clark, a ninth-timer
serving a twenty-year sentence, and
William Grider. a third-timer, serving
a five-year sentence. ] shall certainly
take heed of your recommendation il
these cases. and I agree with you tina
convicts who aid the prison authors
ties to preserve order and prison dis
cipline should receive some reward 70,
their services.
ct also note your disapDroval of tina
unjust bias which makes the public s,
ready to take the part of desperat
men confined in prison for infraction
of the law against the prison official
when the latter are compelled to tax
decisive steps to control their charge
and preserve discipline. Those VIII
know how desperate and abandone
many of the convicts confined in on
! prisons are, agree with your thorough
~ in your condemnation of that publ
sentiment which, knowing nothing o
the true prison conditions, refuses I
believe that harsh measures are FIRE
: quently necessary to discipline thos

POSTAL MEN INDICTED.

Associated Press. Morning Service.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October s.
In the postal scandal indictments were
today found against James N. Tyner,
at one time Postmaster General, but
later Attorney General, James T. Met
calf, superintendent of the Money Or
der System, II. j. Barrett, assistant at
torney general and a nephew of Tyner,
N. r. Metcalf, H. Hallenbeck and w.
Doremus.
This fresh batch of indictments in
connection with the postal scandal will
likely cause a sensation in Post Office
circles. James N. Tyner, who held the
office of assistant attorney general to
the Post Office Department, was per-
mitted to resign last March on condi-
ton that he stay away from the de-
partment until May l the time when
his resignation would take effect.
While Tyner was lying i'll at his home
later his wife went to the office of his
department and, with the assistance of
a locksmith, opened the safe and took
away large bundle of papers. Later
she was forced to submit all the docu-
ments taken to the Postmaster-Gen-
eral. Judge Tyner is seventy-seven
years old and had been connected with
the postal service for over thirty years.
At one time he was Postmaster Gen
eral.
