Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought
of it but the fact must be apparent to
every one that constipation is caused
by a lack of water in the system,
and the use Of drastic cathartics like
the old fashioned pills only makes a
bad matter worse. Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets are much
more mild and gentle in their effect,
and VIXEN the proper dose is taken
their action is go natural that one
can hardly realize it is the effect Of
a medicine. Try a rs cent bottle Of
them. For sale by The Kaufman

THE OLDEST SHIPBUILDER.

Amos L. Allen, who has long been
known as the oldest shipbuilder in
Maine, celebrated his 92d birthday Sep
TENDER Sth, at his home on Washington
street, Bath, where he entertained many
old time friends during the afternoon.
Mr.. Allen was born at Freeport. He
struck out for himself when young,
and finally landed in Bath and took up
shipbuilding. He became at once recog-
nized as one OF the best builders Of the
city.
He built some vessels for the govern
ment, but never became wealthy from
work done in this direction, owing to a
hitch on the part Of the government in
maa hsl pa nrpdna Consress ' for mas
settlement with Mr.. Allen.
Few men of his years are so we'll pre-
served as Mr.. Allen. He has scarcely
had a sick day in his life, which he at
tributes to extreme care, never having
drank liquor nor used tobacco. He
reads without the use of glasses.

SLAUGHTER OF MOOSE.

A letter just received by Chairman
Carleton of the fish and game commits
sion from the two wardens, Benjamin
J. Woodward and A. H. Bartlett, whom
he sent up to patrol the Canadian bor-
der and St. John river waters, shows
the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping wardens in
that section. 1t tells of the work which
the men have done in detail and OF the
discoveries of moose slaughtering which
they have made. Not only does 1t give
the details of the killing OF a great
number of moose, but it tells of beaver
and deer which have been slain. In one
place. alone, these wardens found where
at least twenty-six moose had been
killed. Most of these moose were kill
ed last year. but one, at least, had fallen
during the present summer.

JENNINGS BODY FOUND:

ELLswoRrH. Sept. 9. Sheriff Whit
comb, who at the request OF County
Attorney Tracey has been investigat-
ing the disappearance OF Edward Jen-
ninos. a lobster fisherman who has not
been seen since starting for his lobster
pots the morning of August goth, near
Isle au Haut, in Hancock county, has
returned to this city. He saw the house
keeper of Jennings in Rockland, who
said his life was threatened if he con-
tinued in the industry.
Residents at Isle au Haut, the near
est point to Small Island, where Jen-
nines lived. rather discredited the
housekeeper's story, and thought his
disappearance was due to being washed
overheard by breakers, which are very
strong there, But no sign OF the body
or wreckape of a boat has been seen,
which makes the case rather mystic
rious.
Regarding the reported threats on
Jennings life, the general impression
at Isle au Haut is that if such threats
were ever made, they were simply for
'talk," meant to frighten Jennings
away. Strangers are not welcome on
these fishing grounds, and frequently
the newcomers find their traps set
adrift and other mischief done III Or
der presumably to drive them from the
business. It is said that the captain OF
the vessel who moved Jennings to the
island heard the threats against his life,
but this man is now away on a trip.
He is expected home next week, when
the sheriff will get statement from
him. Meantime he has ordered the
constable to keep lookout for the
body of Jennings or of wreckage OF his
boat
Thursday word was brought to Judge
Spofford of Deer Isle that the body OF
Edw. Jennings, who has been missing
for nearly month, and had been found
adrift near the Isle au Haut in the vi
cinity of where he was last seen when
he went out to attend his lobster traps.
AS nearly as could be ascertained with
out an examination of the body, the
boots had been removed, something
was wrapped about the head, but
whether the body was injured is not
known. There was no sign OF boat
or the wreckage of one. Judge Spot
ford wired Coroner Fields of Ellsworth,
who will investigate the matter and
hold an inquest if necessary.

SAYINGS AND DOINGS IN THE PINE
TREE STATE
CROPS IN SOMERSET COUNTY.

CROPS IN SOMERSET COl MY.
Unless the frost should hold off until
October 1st the sweet corn crop in
Skowhegan and in the greater part of
Somerset county will be total failure,
says a Skowhegan correspondent.
The season has been the worst ever
known. Corn ought to have been ripe
and ready for the canneries more than
a week ago Today the kernels are
small, hardly filled out at all, and the
husks are so thick that it will require
stronger rays than can be expected
from a September sun to ripen it in
time for market.
This unusual thickness of the husks
is considered by farmers as a sure sign
of hard winter.
Last year the corn crop was failure.
This year the Portland packing COM
pany, which operates the local cannery,
increased the price of corn and this
induced farmers here to enlarge their
acreage. The returns from the corn
crop are their greatest source OF reve,
nue., with the exception of hay and
stove wood. and with the chance of
securing even partial crop almost
gone they have reason to feel discour-
aged.
The apple crop, however, in most
parts of the county will, in a measure,
make up for the corn. Where the trees
are full, and this is particularly true OF
Norridgewock, Larone and Cornvllle:
big crop of winter fruit is assured. IL
many places the trees hang so full that
props are required to keep the limbs
from breaking down under the weight
of fruit.
Potatoes, too, are plentiful and many
farmers are already digging them. Rust
has not yet made its appearance, and II
rot does not set i'll the next Is days VIII
see the biggest crop of potatoes IN
wears.
