NOT A TRAGEDY.
A Lost Husband at the Lake and Wife
Who Shrieked.

"Whence came those shrieks, so wild
and shrill," etc This was the query
which came floating in from the Man.
the morning breezes, Thursday The
shrieks in question were launched
upon the still night air of Wednesday,
and to the ears of party who We're out
canoeing, followed closely upon what
seemed to be three pistol shots. What
conjectures passed through the young
mans head, as he thought of the pos
sible tragedy which had been enacted
off to leeward, can only be estimated
but on coming in to town, yesterday
morning he lost no time in COM
municating his suspicious to a friend,
and the friend as speedily rehcarsed
them to a policeman. The policeman
in turn mentioned the facts as he had
heard them, to reporter, and the lat
ter, with that keenness for seeming
news, which is born of long experiences
at county pumpkin shows, at once
proceeded to endeavor to unravel the
mystery. AS he hurried back to the
office, he was piercing, with his minds
eye, the intervening miles, in search of
the scene of the tragedy, and
making UP as he went along, the
starter of a story of such har-
rowing details that it would COM
mand at least a four line head. and
perhaps a cut or two of>the shooter
and the one who had shrieked. This
was on the street. When he reached
the office. and had. in fever of ex-
element and anticipation, called up
Manchester, the whole thing to use the
words of the "blemished," for
in answer to his inquiries regarding
trouble and the shriekS of the night
before. was that there had been no
trouble, and that the rumor must have
originated from the fact that Mrs. So
and-so's husband had gone out in the
darkness, and being gone little longer
than usual she had gone out and
hollered to him.

THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.
Bowditch G. Webster Will Return Your
Money if Mio-na Does Not Cure
Dyspepsia and Increase Flesh.

There are hundreds Of people in Au-
gusta who were not the least bit sur
prised when they read in the Journal
that Bowditch & Webster were selling
Mi-o-na under a guarantee to refund
the money, in case it did not cure indi-
gestion and increase weight.
This remarkable preparation is a
true hesh-forming food, that builds up
good, healthy, solid tissue, and makes
thinness and scrawniness thing of
the past.
1t tones up the digestive organs, and
will cure the worst case of indiges-
ton, headache, dizziness, or the de-
pressed, weak condition that afflicts
nearly everyone who suffers with
stomach trouble. Mi-o-na does not
simply relieve; it does lasting good.
In 9S out of every 100 cases whore
Mi-o-na is used, the result is a restora-
ton of perfect harmony between height
and weight and an absolute and per-
manent cure of all stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in Au-
gusta who are recommending Mi-o-na
because it cured them. A few months
ago they were thin and dyspeptic, and
could eat nothing without fear Of
stomach trouble. Since using Mi-o-na
they have made noticeable gain in
flesh, can eat what they want, and
when they want, without fear of suf-
fering.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. If it gives you the
desired effect the cost is triffing, if 1t
fails Bowditch & Webster will pay for
the remedy themselves.

MAY GET BAIL.
Lawyer Field will Endeayor to Secure
it for Bickford.
Boy Awaits Action of Grand Jury for
AssauIting His Mother.

II is now believed that Everett Z.
Bickford, the 10-year-old boy boy, now
confined in Augusta jail pending the
action of the grand jury on charge OF
assaulting his mother with a dangerous
! weapon. will soon be released on bail
His lawyer George w. Field of Oak
land, was recently in Augusta, and
stated that he was going to make a
strong effort to secure bail for the lad,
as he thought it would be better for him
to be out of the Jail.
The story of the crime for which the
boy is now held prisoner, was told at
length in the Journal at the time of its
commission, but there are, probably,
many who have forgotten all about it
and will wonder just what he did.
At the time, it was brought to light
that Everett became angry with his
mother because she wished him to go to
school regularly, something which he
did not want to do, and, which to his
youthful mind, seemed to be waste of
time and energy, and so in his desper-
ate desire to escape school he procured
a revolver and shot his mother.
Fortunately for the lad, the wound
was not fatal, scarcely being severe
enough to be called serious. but it might
have been, and had it been so, the
chances of the boy ever seeing a days
freedom again would be slight
He was arrested and, after the usual
preliminary hearing, held in the sum of
5000 for his appearance at the Septem-
Der term of court. Being unable to fur
nish bail he was committed to the Jail
where he has since remained.
Mrs. Nellie F. Bickford his mother,
recovered from the wound and from her
recent acts it is evident that she has
fully forgiven him for his rash and hot
tempered act. Almost the first thing
which she did, after her recovery, was
to come to Augusta and visit her son in
jail. Since then she has called upon
him once or twice and each time shows
great grief that he is there and upon
such charge, and gives no evidence of
any feeling other than that of true
motherly love.
The boy is bright looking youngster
who has grown plump and fat since his
commitment to the jail, May rs, and to
look at is the last boy in the world one
would select as being likely to do such
an act. In no way can it be said that
he has vicious or depraved features,
while on the other hand he certainly
has q frank, open expression of the
face.

Bowditch & Webster will give the
above bond with every SOC. box of Mi
o-na they sell. You run no risk in
buying Mi-o-na.
For years there has been a demand
for natural means of increasing the
flesh and Mi-o-na has come to supply
this need. 1t is not a cod liver oil
preparation, but combination of
fesh-forming elements with remedies
that regulate and aid digestion and re-
store health.
Everyone who is troubled with dys-
pepsia, headache, distress after eating,
dizzy feeling or loss Of appetite or who
is losing weight and in a rundown
condition, should take the guarantee
bond to Bowditch & Webster's and
commence the use of Mi-o-na at their
risk, remembering that the treatment
costs you nothing unless it does all
that is claimed for it.

THEN AND NOW.
Change in Railroad Travel Great in
Half Century,

Few persons in these days of miIe-a
minute travelling realize the immense
changes winch have taken place in rail
road travelling in the past half century.
In the old days, especially before the
use of telegraph train orders. the
fastest passenger trains travelled at a
pace which would make a trolley car
blush today. The superintendent. Of
the great trunk lines running out of
New York recently ran across copv of
one of the first train orders ever issued
on his line. 1t reads:
Freight trains will in all cases wait
| for passenger trains and for milk trains
and be kept entirely out of their wav,
never leaving the station on the time of
a passenger train, unless on positive in
formation received from it. The rate
of speed is fourteen miles per hour fo,.
| freight trains, and engine men of
freight trains are not at liberty to make
up for delays by increasing the sneed
beyond this tate.
THE freight train which is behind
time WILL MOVE AT A WALK when
| it approaches the road time of a COM
ing freight train and until the train has
been passed. Although the parties in
charge of both trains will be responsi-
BILE for any kind of neglect or want of
caution, it will be more particularly the
duty of the train which is behind time
to be on the lookout. from twenty min
| utes before the time and point where it
should meet the approaching train un-
| less it passes ih and to keep man
ahead with a red flag or a red lantern
as the case may be, some distance be-
! fore approaching curves, until the ap-
preaching freight train has been met.
when trains happen to meet be-
| tween stations, the train which is the
| most behind time WILL BACK 40

have already passed over two thirds of
