pains in my back and limbs and all over
me. The doctor called nearly every other
day but did not seem to improve and my
friends were alarmed for me when my
mother persuaded me to take DR.. Williams

Many other people have received Just as

These wonderful vegetable pills have a
double action-on the blood and on the
nerves. 1t is not claimed that these pills
are a cure-all, but the very nature Oh me

of diseases than any other. 1t is a scien-

The Lumber Cut.

BANGOR, April l. The lumber cut for
the past winter has been larger than

900, 900 feet to be driven. OF these at
least 1O3, 900 900 feet will be brought to
the saw mills at and near Bangor. In
addition to these there are 24,0oo, 900
feet of logs there, left over from last
year. About $4,000, 900 feet will be saw
ed by the big Ashland mill and sent to
Bangor for transshipment by water:
The new Fish River region just opened
up by the Bangor Il Aroostook railroad
will send $4,000, 900 feet more, making
grand total of 169, 600, 900 feet of logs to
be sawed into lumber. When manufac-
tured into lumber the measurement Will
be nearly 20O,000,O 900 feet.

A SEA. OF ICE.
Strange Experience of the British Schooner
CeylOn.

Strange Experience of the British Schooner
CeylOn.
ST, JOHNS, N. F., April 1. The Brit,
ish schooner Ceylon which has arrived
here had a strange experience during
her run of 30 days from Figueria to this
port. When 600 miles off the Portu-
guese coast, struck IL days OF gales
forcing her to heave to all the time:
After this good weather was met and
a week ago, 300 miles south OF Cape
Race, on the lower edge of the gulf
stream. ice was met. In dense fog
she ran into a foe for some distance.
When the mist cleared, far as the eye
could see was nothing but ice, with
countless burgs. At night all sails
were tied up and only during the day
did she work her way through. She
traversed 12O miles of heavy Arctic ice
and number of steamers were seen
and heard at night as they worked
their way along. Ice in this vicinity is
unprecedented at this time of the year
and is a great danger to navigation.
When 100 miles north of St. Michaels,
Azores, the air was seen to be full OF
very fine dust. The atmosphere was
thick with it, although a good breeze
the sails were turned red as crimson,
ropes, masts and rigging all became
coated with the powder, while from the
deck it could be swept up. This lasted
for some time until damp fog set in
and the following day it had complete
ly vanished.

WHAT DOUTNEY SAYS.

Thomas A. Dontney, the temperance
lecturer, Who has been severely crit
icized for his advocacy of resubmission
before committee of the legislature
at Augusta, is reported by the Lewiston
Sun as saying:
1t has been said that am in the pay
of hotels and the liquor traffic. To say
that | am is base slander and vile
lie. Whenever financial help is needed
for any good or benevolent purpose
the liquor trade and hotel owners are
always appealed to. They always give,
are never the smallest givers on the
list. l want the world to know that if
a hotel or saloon owner donates any
money to me to help temperance that
he can't be giving it to me to use for
liquor or to dissipate with. Any money
given to me in that way I'll accept most
gratefully and will thank God and the
giver for it. am not employed. go
where go of my own free will. l am
a poor man financially and have to
trust for my actual expenses and my
living to whatever any one sees fit to
give me. You will please say this in
your we'll managed and most excellent
paper; tnat L fatner every WORD nave
said in this interview; an experience of
over twenty-five years in this work,
preceded by all that can be suffered
through over indulgence in strong
drink, forces me, for the sake of tenn
perance and honor and principle, to take
this course. When the farmers and
others in the rural districts have the
matter properly presented to them they
-
option license. 1t will lessen their
taxes. The resubmission clubs to be
organized in this state will educate
them in that wise by presenting to them
the truth in cold facts. And lastly, the
fact that so many seizures and ''raids"
that prohibition, as it exists, is a Ia
mentable failure. That statement is
certainly endorsed and verified by the
recent overthrow of the farce in Yer
mont and New Hampshire.
