THE Seaboard Air Line railroad has
formed a community Of interest with
the Rock Island, ST. Louis and San
Francisco system. The consummation
Of this new deal was officially an
nounced in New York on Wednesday
last. According to statements Of con-
trolling officials in the two great prop
critics, there has been no sale Of one to
the other; but merely an alliance, and
it is given out that the object Of this
alliance is cooperation rather than
competition. j. P. Morgan & Co., will
have general control Of the policy Of
the new combination as we'll as Of the
Southern system. AS to what effect
this new deal is to have on the south
remains to be seen.

AMONG all the absurd propositions
that intelligent men are called upon to
swallow, none is so absurd as that
capable men of character would be
willing to incur all the doubt and sus-
picion that Is involved in superintend-
ing the gigantic whisky business OF
this state for only s4OO year. There
Is certainly no honor in such an Office
as that of dispensary director, and the
salary allowed by the state is not suf-
ficient to tempt any competent man.

THE rapid elevation of Leonard
Wood from the position Of army sur
geon to major general. has created no
end Of dissatisfaction in the army. 1t
is remembered that when the Spanish
war broke out Wood was stationed in
Washington. He is not West Point
er, but was appointed by President Nc
Kinley to colonel of the Rough Rider
regiment that was raised by Roosevelt
and himself and of which Roose-
welt was made lieutenant colonel.
There is no denying the fact that Wood
did very good service us also did
Roosevelt: but neither of them did any
more to win especial distinction than
did hundreds of other regular army Of
ficerS. and the idea that Woods rapid
promotion from one grade to another
up to ranking general of the army on
Il basis Of superior merit is absurd. 1t
is true that the late President Mckin-
ley was responsible for part Of this
f.voritism: but behind it all was no

IT is all right to run down escaped
convicts with bloodhounds. 1t is even
lawful to shoot them under certain
conditions. 1t is not lawful however,
to shoot an unresisting fugitive from
justice, no matter what his offense
may have been, and it would seem that
there is just as little warrant for put
ting a fierce bloodhound on the track
of such an individual. According to
the story published in the Times, the
fugitive Norman, lost his life the 9TH
er day solely through fear Of the
bloodhound that was following him,
and the practical result Is virtually
the same as if he had been shot down.
1t might be we'll to have some proper
legal regulation Of the use Of blood
hounds in such cases.

"Hearts Of Oak" Tomorrow Night.

Two of the most successful plays of
James A. Herne are Hearts of Oak and
shore Acres" both of which are play
ing this season to crowded houses in
every city in which they are presented
These two stirring domestic dramas
have their scenes laid on the shores of
the New England coast. James A
Herne lived for many years in the To-
cality where the scenes of the plays are
situated and he made Il most careful
study of the characteristics of the men,
women and children with whom he was
thrown into daily contact. The author
did not hurriedly write the dramas.
Every little detail was well thought out
and every speech was carefully evolved.
There is not a single human emotion
that is not stirred when one witnesses
Hearts of Oak" or Shore Acres
One laughs and then anon the tears
we'll to the eye. One fOrgets for the
time being that there is such a place as
q theatre but seems to feel that he is
indeed dwelling among the very people
whose types are being presented behind
the footlights.
Hearts of Oak" will be presenta 81

"Thelma," Tonight.

That the play of Thelma is destined
Tor long and highly prosperous career
cannot be doubted now that it is in it's
third successive season, and bids fair
TO outstrip all of its previous sue
cesses both financially and in an artistic
sense, for when it is seen at the Opera
House this evening. it will be seen that
never before has it had the aid of SO
capable a cast.
The title role this season has been al
lotted to Ethel Brandon, one of the
most charming and talented of leading
players and the entire company has
been chosen with the object of giving
the play worthy Interpretation in its
every detail.
'Thelma" is in four acts. and includes
all the principal and interesting scenes
of the novel. The Alien Fjord, the
death of the Viking on the burning
ship, the Aurora Borealis and the snow
storm, may be named amongst its chief
scenic adornments.
There can be no question of worth
raised as to the play. The public has
placed it's seal of approval on it all over
the land, and it need only be said at
We are to have it interpreted as never
before.

ment about the game laws. 1t seems
that Mr.. Brown has fine orchard and
the partridscs prove a great pest to
him by eating the apple blossoms and
very young fruit. He estimates that
they have destroyed fully - barrels of
apples for him in this way. this year,
and he does not want them to continue
such depredations. The object of his
visit was to find out whether he could
not protect himself against the birds by
shooting or any other method. Chair
man Carleton was out of the city, how
ever. and so Mr.. Brown got no definite
information on the subject.

The Kidneys are the sewers of the sys-

but sewers sometimes become cloggef
up. SO do the kidneys. The kidneys
are located near the small of the back.
hence any stopoage affects the back.
This means backache, lame back, weak
back and more distressing symptoms.
There is lots more to tell on this subject
but We won't do it here, for we want to
show you how to keep the kidneys so

An Unexpected Practice Game Easy for
the College Eleven.

Waterville, Me-, Oct. 15.-(SpeciaN.-
The Colby Varsity football team lined
I'D for a practice game with the strong
Kicker Classical Institute Thursday
afternoon, on College field. and won
from the strong prep school % to 0.
1t was late when the game began and
only 10 and 12-minute halves were
PLAYED. This game was not advertised
Kicker stopping off on her way to
Kent's Hill, where game is scheduled
for Saturday with the strong Hill team.
Manager Leighton and Coach Harris
thought it would be good idea to lire
the Varsity men up against the boys
from Houlton.
The game began at 4.30. Colby kicked
off to Rcker's 25-yard line. Colby
Immediately held for downs and tried
for place kick but failed, the bali be-
ing poorly passed. Kicker held for
downs and made her distance once and
was held. Colby took the ball 10 and
IS yards by Watkins and Pugsley and
were again held for downs. The prep
BOYS could not retain the ball, so Colby
-
ing it over. Newman kicked the goal.
Colby kicked off again and held her
opponents for downs. Pugsley made
! wards. Mitchell 5, McVane 5 and Cow
ing went over for the second touch
down. Newman failed at goal
Colby made a poor kickoff to Kicker
and time was called with the ball in
Ricker's possession. Score: Colby, IL;
Kicker. 0.
The second half Kicker kicked off
to Colbys 1O-yard line. Cowing brought
the ball back 20 yards. Craig made a
pretty run for 80 yards. Pugsley also
made 50 for Il touchdown. Newman
kicked the goal. Colby kicked off again
and held for downs and by good gains
carried the ball over, Cowing going
over again. At this time Ross took
Watkins place at right half Houlton
went in at left half in McVane's place
and Dewitt went in at full. Dewitt
and Ross made some good gains but
We're little anxious and fumbled q
great deal.
This is probably the last time Colby
will line up before going to Maine, Sat
urday. Friday afternoon will be de-
voted to signal work. Colby made a
rather poor showing, today, and will
have to take a big brace if she expects
to hold Maine.
Kicker had a good, strong team. their
line being very strong. Oliver, Robin
son and Ryan played good ball, as did
the whole eleven.
