Lewiston. Ne, May 19.--The last will
and testament of Foster Lee Randall,
who disappeared from his home in
Lewiston, seven years ago last April,

ton.
Randall by this WILL leaves 81 to each
of his two sons and the remainder of
his property to Bates College.
Tascus Atwood Esq. of Auburn, and
Hon. Wilbur II. Judkins of Lewiston
have appeared in opposition to the
granting the will. One is understood to
represent the widow and the other the
two sons.
The will filed by Attorney Morey was
made out by Randall two years before
his disappearance. 1t has lain in Mr..
Moreys safe since. The contents of the
will We're unknown to any except Mr..
Morey, until it was filed in probate
court.
The will is likely to be contested at
the next term of the probate court, An

test is to be made, are not yet known.
Some people think there is another Will
in existence; others believe the heirs
will attempt to prove that Randall was
not of sound mind and body.

WASHINGTON COUNTY RAILROAD
May, According to Report, Soon Go
Into Other Hands.

Portland, Me-, May 19.-Unconfirmed
reports in financial circles are to the
effect that the Washington County
railroad, for which the appointment of
n receiver has been petitioned by the
Central Trust Co. of New York, mort
gagee, in the United States circuit
court, will be reorganiZed and leased
ultimately by the Boston * Maine Rail-
road and operated in connection with
the branches of that system in Maine.
The foreclosure proceedings on which
preliminary hearing will be given
probably by Wednesday morning, be-
fore Judge Putnam, We're brought about
evidently by the failure during the past
year of the railroad to pay it's interest
on the $2,142,000 of outstanding 5 per
cent. bonds, though it did pay its oper-
ating expenses and n little more.

can route freight as they please and
if the Grand Trunk are interested in
route via Portland. shippers can be
easily influenced to route practically
every ton of export freight that way.
We cannot believe that any arrange

colonial and Grand Trunk which will
prevent this. We urged in the strong

RHEUMATISM
DUE TO KIDNEYS.
Beware of Using Liquid
Kidney Remedies.
Alcohol in Them Will Make Matters
Worse,

When the kidneys are healthy they
strain the uric acid from the blood; but
when unhealthy. the acid is deposited
in minute crystals in the muscles and
cause rheumatic aches.
The close connection between the kid
neys and rheumatism is never suspect
ed by thousands who trust to liniments
when it is their kidneys alone that
need help.
But don't make the mistake of trying
to cure rheumatism with alcohol, or
with liquid kidney remedies that con-
tain alcohol. 1t will only make your
rheumatism worse. Take a kidney
remedy in tablet form that has no need
of alcohol. aid there will be no danger
of 2 setback from the after-effects.
Or. Pettingill's Kidney Wort Tablets
will permanently cure your rheumatism
by making your kidneys healthy. The
Tablets restore the healthy balance of
blood among the eXcretory organs; the
overWorked kidneys are allowed to get
back their strength, the dangerous
habit of forming stone" and brick
dust deposits in the urine is cured, and
the many distressing symptoms of APP
preaching kidney disease removed.
Men and women who have needed
this warning of brick dust" have been
saved from the rocking agonies of stone
in the kidneys and from the operating
table by DR.. Pettingill's Kidney Wort
Tablets. They stop at once the forma-
ton of deposits and the stone thus
has nothing to add to it's growth
Your kidneys need a thorough spring
cleaning. Nothing will do this so gen
tly and yet thoroughly as KidneyWort
Tablets.
Hemorrhage of the kidneys has again
and again been checked by Kidney
Wort Tablets; also irritation, catarrh
and liberation of the bladder, lumbago.

ment. high colored or scanty, prevent
falling into kidney disease by promptly
using Kidney-Wort Tablets.

PATS FIRST THOUGHT.
Outrun the stage, and He Made
Them DO IL.

Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known,
an OLD stage road ran from Lake
Champiain to Ogdensburg, N ", pass-
ing through the little town of Sodom.
This village nestled in a valley between
two great hills, over which the white
ribbon Of the road wound steeply, says
Lippincott's.
Upon one Of the trips Of the stage
the regular driver, who had been at
home for some weeks recovering from
an Illness. was riding inside while the
red-haired. mild-feaiured, big-b0ned
IriShman acting as his substitute occu-
pied the drivers seat upon the box
The day was a beautiful one and the
passengers were enjoying their drive
keeniY. their apuetities Increuaing as
the distance lessened between them
and the town of Sodom with its prom
ised pause for refreshment
Suddenly. as the heavy stage lum-
bered over The brow Of the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp
angle. running through the little town
at its foot aud ascending the hin be-
yond. the passengers became conscious
that their pace had been recklessly i'm
creased. Faster and faster they went,
dashing down the Hill az rate rapidly
becoming a furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but a dizzying
blur along the road All clung TO the
reeling stage and held their breath in
TERROR. while on the stage raced, down
the hin with ever-increasing speed, into
the town. past the hostelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze
al the door. past the post Office with
out pause. and out upon the road lead
ing up the fece a the bill beyond.
There the pace slackened. and as the in
cline grew more steep, at last the
smoking horses came 10 a standstill.
With one accord the dazed passengers
tumbled out and surrounded the driv-
er. who row stood az the head Of his
reeling leaders.
"what is it, Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from you?" came the
breathless questions.
Nope" replied Pat with a set face,
at wor that" pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stage-tongue
Dragging uselessiv on the ground at
the heels Of the horses. and completely
severed from the coach. At Q glance
the regular driver comprehended the
meaning Of the danger 10 which the
passengers Of that stage. deprived Of
its sole means Of guidance, had been
exposed. and, realizing the miracle Of
their escape, he turned sick and tainted
where he stood.
Later. back at the inn, when the ex-
element had somewhat subsided and
fresh horses were being put TO the re-
paired coach. someone turned to Pat
and asked;
pat what was your first thought
when the pole dropped?"
"Well. sor," he answered, settling
the ouid more comfortably in his
cheek. "me furst thought wor. Lord,
