FIRE At SOUTH GoULDsBoRo.
About $4,000 Worth Of Property De.
stroyed, Monday Afternoon.

Ellsworth. Me-, April 21.-South Goulds
horo residents were called upon to fight
fire, Monday afternoon, which destroyed
property valued at upwards of $1,000.
AT o'clock, the dwelling house of Rcu-
ben III. Bunker was found to be ablaze
smoke pouring through the roof. Neigh
bors are not plentiful in that section, and
while they gathered as quickly as posi-
BILE, with a strong wind against their eff
forts and the Roadway which the fire had
made, 1t was useless to attempt extin-
gushing it much. A few articles of fur
niture was saved but nothing of value.
The house, ell. stable and outbuildings,
together with the contents, were destroy
ed. Also canned sardines stored in the
cellar, owned by the Frenchmen's Bay
Packing CO., whose factory is located at
South Gouldsboro, were burned; valued at
$1400.
Mrs. Bunker was away from home on a
few hours visit when the fire occurred
and the place was alone. 1t is presumed
that the blaze originated around chin
ney in the main house. from light fire
left in stove. The buildings were prac-
tically new, having been recently rebuilt
The loss to Mr.. Bunker is $3.50, partly
covered by insurance. The Packing Cos.

PRES. L0UBET
Treated to a Grand Exhibition
Of Barbaric Sp|endor.
The Algerian Tribesmsn Gather b,
Thousands at EI Keider.
A Scene Seldom Witnessed by the Eyes
of Europeans.

Ell kreider, Algeria, April 21.-Presi-
dent Loubet participated, today, in a
veritable durbar of the nomadic
tribesmen of the desert. The tribes
men gathered in thousands from all
parts of southern Algeria for a cere-
mony of Oriental splendor.
Up to the present time NJ Loubet
has visited only those sections of AL
geria which show the advance of
French colonization. Today, however,
he entered the desert country with it's
sparse and burned vegetation, where
the stretches of sand and hot sun pro-
duced the curious effects of mirage.
The ceremony was held on a vast
plateau. Here the tribesmen assembled
from all quarters, some of them having
journeyed 300 or 400 miles across the
desert Their tents We're arranged in
circles after the Arab custom, each
tribe occupying large circle, in the
center of which were droves of richly
harnessed camels. The chiefs We're
amounted on horses, but the tribesmen
were on camels and formed great cara
vans. Over 5000 men men participated
in the gathering.
A superb tent of camel hair fabrics
and Arab tapestries had been erected
for President Loubet. AS each tribe
passed in review it's chief dismounted
and paid homage to the President of
France, who distributed decorations to
the principal leaders.
After the review came a native fan
tasia, or exhibition of sports. There
were feats of horsemanship and much
burning of gunpowder, the exhibition
ending by 8, charge of all the native
cavalry, which wheeled across the plain
and charged toward the station occu-
pied by the President, the horses being
pulled up within 800 yards of his posi-
ton.
A mimic combat followed. This rep
resented the attack upon and capture
Of caravan by desert tribe.
The ceremonies were brought to a
conclusion by a grand "diffa" or Arab
banquet, given by the chiefs in honor
of M. Loubet. Dances executed by
celebrated native beauties followed the
banquet.
The President then started on his
return journey to Saba. The tribes
men, mounted on their horses, rode at
full gallop alongside the train as long
as they could keep up with the pace.
The days entertainment presented a
spectacle of barbaric splendor such as
has seldom been seen by European
eyes.

OH, LET HIM ALONE T.
If Willie Vanderbilt Wants to
Marry Why Not?
Both Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Ruther-
furd Very Much Annoyed
At the Impertinent Attention Paid
Them by the World.

Paris, April 21.-The American colony
here has been considerably exercised
by the persistent reports Of the ap-
preaching marriage of VIM. X. Wander
bilt. Most of these reports came from
New York, following the court proceed
ings, but all persons here have declined
to give any definite information on the
subject.
At late hour this afternoon, when
a call was made at the Vanderbilt resi-
dence and request sent in for infor-
nation concerning the current rumors,
word was returned from Mr.. Wander
bilt that he was so busily engaged that
he had been obliged to deny himself to
all representatives of the press and to
decline either to affirm or deny the re-
ports. Practically the same response
was given at the residence of Mrs
Rutherford.
Those occupying confidential rela-
tons with Mr.. Vanderbilt decline fur
Their to discuss the reports of his mar
riage as they consider that Mr.. Van
derbilt's note to The Associated Press,
yesterday evening" saying the reports
were untrue, sufficiently covers the
case. When this note was written Mr.
Vanderbilt was aware of the reports
printed in New York, yesterday, that
he was to be married here, tomorrow,
and his denial specifically contradicted
them. Nothing further, will be given
out regarding the reports or the pro-
ceedings before the New York courts.
Edmund Kelly, counsel for the Unit
ed State embassy, and Secretary Wig
maud say they know nothing regarding
Mr. Vanderbilt's reported intentions.
When request was made, tonight,
at the residence of Mrs. Rutherfurd for
confirmation or denial of the report,
word was returned that no answer
would be given. One of the ladies in
the house expressed indignation at the
reports and characterized them as silly
rumors. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Rutherford denies being engaged to
Mr. Vanderbilt.

BUILT OVER.
Food That Rebuilt a Mans Body and
Built it Right.

BY food alone, with a knowledge of
what food to use, disease can be warded
off and health maintained, also many
even chronic diseases can be cured. 1t
is manifestly best and safest to depend
upon food to cure rather than too much
drugging.
A case in point will illustrate. A well
known man of Reading, Pa, treasurer
of certain club there, says: Il have
never written a testimonial letter but
have been using Grape-Nuts about a
year and have recovered my health,
and feel that 1 would like to write you
about it for the case is extraordinary.
For five years / was a sufferer from
a dreadful condition of the bowels; the
trouble was most obscure" Here fol-
lows detailed description and the
condition certainly was distressing
enough "details can be given by maiD.s
Nothing in the way of treatment
of drugs benefited me in the least
and an operation was seriously con-
sicered. In May, 1901, commenced
using Grape-Nuts as a food and with
no idea that it would in any way help
my condition. In two or three weeks
time noticed an Improvement and
there was steady gain from that time
on until now 1 am practically well. !
don't know how to explain the healing
value of the food but for some reason,
although it has taken nearly year, l
have recovered my health and the
change is entirely attributable to
Grape Nuts food, for long ago Quit
medicine. / eat only Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and luncheon. but at my
night dinner 1 have an assorted meal"

SICK KIDNEYS.
Alcoholic Remedies Dangerous
to Kidneys.
Kidney-wort Tablets Contain No
Drop Of Alcohol,

| The first question that a modern
| physician asks sufferer from kidney
| disease invariably is:
Do you drink alcoholic beverages?
The first command that such a ply
sician gives is:
Stop drinking everything that con-
tains the slightest alcohol.
Alcohol poisons and irritates the kid
! neys. 1t creates disease and aggra-
Yates it.
Liquid kidney cures" contain ex-
actly what they should not have-al-
cohol. The temporary effect from
drugs and alcohol of stimulating a
kidney sufferer soon leaves him much
worse off than before taking any rem
edy.
| If you suspect that you have the be-
ginnings of kidney trouble your urine
| will tell the story. If 1t is sluggish; ir
you experience pain in passing water.
| if it deposits brick dust" sediment
upon standing; if your back aches con-
tinually, and the weakness Is con-
trolled by every cold, strain, or ex-
ertion, you should examine your urine.
Any sufferer from kidney trouble who
will read the following letter will be
encouraged and make confident of get
ting rid of any kidney weakness he or
she may have.
East Parsonsfield, Me-, Feb. 90. 1908.
Dear Sirs--In October / was taken
| with q pain in my side. 1t panied me
night and day steadily. / had back
ache and frequent desire to urinate;
would get up six and seven times n
night, and severe cutting pain would
follow. My doctor said I had bad
inflammation of kidney and bladder.
and that it was Inflammation that
caused the pain in my side. I could
neither eat nor sleep. I took his medi-
cine, but it did me little good. My
strength was gone and had a terrible
thirst. I could not sit up all day.
When I saw your advertisement in the
paper 1 got a bottle of DR.. Pettingills
Kidney-Wort Tablets, and the first
one helped me so much sent for an
other. Now I can sit up all day and
work all the time; don't get up but
, once a night and that pain is gone. 1
| have good appetite, sleep well. and am
going to continue this until am well,
and am thankful that there Is some
thing to help anyone, for life is bur-
den in the way 1 was. Thanking you
kindly, l remain, Yours,
~. Al - MRS. MARY CLARK, T.
Make up your mind today to get well.
Kidney Wort Tablets are curing thou
sands of sufferers judging by the re-
ports from druggists. The demand for
the Tablets is enormous.

BULLET IN LEG.
Attleboro Man Held Up-Is Shot bu.
Saves His Money.

Attleboro, Mass, April 21.-An un-
