Senator Gardner of Penobscot, pre-
sented a bill relating to taxation on in
terest-bearing deposits in trust and
banking companies. The bill provides,
for the purposes of compelling these
companies to comply with the law,
more power to enforce payment of the
tax Certain companies have evaded
the tax law to some extent by pretend
ing to keep one account with depositors
when really they are keeping two
separate accounts. 1.-THE bill has teeth
in it." says Senator Gardner, land will
give just the power needed by the
State assessors.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Another Measure for Control
Of Penobscot Waters.
Petitions Received for Radical
Changes in Telephone Laws.
Important Hearing on General Bridge
Bill, Yesterday.

Another measure looking to the con-
troll and management of the waters of
the West Branch of the Penobscot
river, which has been a bone of conten-
ton during the past two sessions of the
Legislature, was introduced in the
Senate, yesterday, by Senator Stetson
of Penobscot. 1t was hurried down to
the House, where Ross of Bangor had it
tabled for printing. Today it will come
before the committee on interior waters
and a hearing will be arranged for
While it is not really in the nature of
a compromise for the bill incorporating
the West Branch Dam and Reservoir
Co, presented earlier in the session, its
promoters hope to muster sufficient
support to secure it's adoption by the
Legislature.
1t is An Act to amend the charter of
the Penobscot Log Driving Co. The
bill provides that the company shall be
authorized to build, construct and
maintain dams, piers, booms and re-
servoirs on the West Branch of tn.
Penobscot river, and shall be empower
ed to lease the same to the Great
Northern Paper Co. reserving sufficient
control of the waters of the river to
regulate the same for log driving pur-
poses. The bill also changes the quail
fications of members of the Penobscot
Log Driving Co. 1t provides that each
operator driving a million feet of tim
Der a distance of 10 miles shall have
one vote, and an additional vote for
each additional 10 miles the timber is
driven. This provision gives the oper-
Iators on the lower Penobscot greater
voting power and prevents any one or
two operators from controlling the
icompany's management. At the pre-
sent time the voting power is given to
operators upon the basis of the num-
Der of teams used in their numbering
| operations.

Substantial Farmers.

MIR. John E. Fulmer, one of the
best farmers of the Spring Hill Sec
ton, and an all-round good fellow,
was in town Thursday selling cotton
st IL cents. He was accompanied
by his son-in-law, Mr.. P. E. Eleazer,
who is another successful farmer OF
the same section, who also brought
cotton along with him. This incident
shows how we'll they have managed
their farming operations during the
last season and we confidently believe
that were they asked the secret of
their success they would both un-
hesitatingly reply that they raised
their supplies for home consumption
and made cotton their surplus or
money crop. There are plenty more
farmers in this county who have done
this also, and whose experience along
this line will corroborate those OF
the gentlemen mentioned above. Let
doubling Thomases try the expert
ment for themselves and they vii! be
thoroughly convinced that diversified
farming is the better plan.

Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets Better Than
Pills.

The question has been asked,
In what way are Chamberlain S
Stomach and Liver Tablets su.
perior to pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more gentle
and mild in their action and
more reliable, as they can al.
ways be depended upon. Then
they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels
in a natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect
and their use is often followed
by constipation. For sale by

spirit and energy, laughter and

home, where these qualities
would be so greatly appreciated
and do so much good, what do
we find: That she possesses an
unlimited faculty for making
home miserable. She is selfish
and i'll tempered and will see
her own mother over burdened
by work or anxiety, but will
not hold out the helping hand
she would give to strangers.
With a desire to appear well in
the eyes of others, it is aston
