Native of Freedom Upholds Name o
Birthplace.

J Native of Freedom Upholds Name of
| Birthplace.
Frank Douglass, father of bunch OF
sons who have followed in his steps since
their birth in Freedom, the former five
year convict at Thomaston, the latter serv-
ing a year in Belfast Jail, all for concen-
| trated and continuous larceny, took advan-
| tage of Independence Day while moving
hay, and leaving nearly five years sentence
of his term astern homeward rapidly
wended his weary way.
| Frank is father of a brace OF boys who
also saw the light in Freedom. The very
name of the place seems to have imbedded
| itself into the natures of the young men,
for they made free with all that lay
loose in Waldo county in the radius OF 80
or 40 miles of Belfast.
From court reports they went to school to
the father who showed them both the arls-
tic methods of stealing chicken and the
| proper method OF opening sale. Ihe
| Douglass family was the pest of Waldo
| county, but no officer could catch them.
| The town of Freedom and the surrouna-
| ing towns have wondered where the Doug
| lass family was going to strike next. After
| series of depredations including hen coops
| to post offices, the laws arm led the family,
| father and two sons into the Belfast Su-
preme court There the presiding judge
| sentenced Frank, the father, to five years
| at Thomaston and the boys to year each
! in the county jail.
The Fourth was a good ''haying day at
the prison. Douglass, who is farmer IN
| ordinary every day life, caught the SYM
| pathetic eve of Warden Smith
"Douglass," he said, ''would yon like to
60 haying today?'
"Nothin' better to my likin', he replied,
| so down to hay field Douglass went with
three others. Douglass had been only SIX
weeks from the field and the way he swung
the scythe kept the other members OF the
| on tho hot fO0T
There was a scent OF powder IN tine al,
| the changing of bells, the spirit OF lndepend-
| ence, and Freedom only 20 miles away
| Douglass complained Of great thirst dur
| ing the afternoon and silently vanished IN
! .he direction of the barn, where he put on
| Prince Albert coat that had seen better
| DAYS, belonging to one Henry Dunstin. Then
| he took to the tall timber and Douglass has
since been the missing member OF the har-
| vest quartette.
At dusk on the Fourth the trio sang:
| "Douglass, Douglass we've been thnkin'
That our quartette's awful bum,
If YOU come back from your Freedom
We will welcome you to hum.'
Deputy Wyman and Guard Peabody are
now in Belfast and have large telescope
mounted looking the county over for Doug
lass. He is supposed to be due in that VI
cinity in few days.
Anyone seeing man wearing Prince AL
bert coat over decidedly horizontally strip
ed trousers is requested at once to notify

People with kidney ills want to be cured.
When one suffers the tortures of an aching back,
relief is eagerly sought for There are many
remedies today that relieve but do not cure. Here
is evidence to prove that Doan's Kidney Pills
cure, and the cure is lasting.
Herman C. Fultz, fisherman, of Belmont road
two and half miles from Belfast, says: "Two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills bought at Edmund
Wilson's drug store gave Mrs Fultz more genu-
inc relief from pain in the small of her back just
over the right kidney than anything she ever
used. A friend told her while she was suffering
from very aggravated attack to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. After few days treatment noticed
a change for the better. AS she continued it
greater relief was received and finally the attack
ceased"

Dr. A. NJ Fernandez Ybarra, who re-
turned to New York last week from
Cuba, after service there of more than
two years as physician of the I nited
States Army, is d vigorous opponent OF
the contention of the Army Medical
Department that the mosquito is the
only means by which yellow fever is
propagated. And those who have had
practical experience with yellow fever
will agree with him. If the extirpation
of mosquitoes III Havana had freed that
city from yellow fever, why is it that
the disease has also vanished from other
parts of the island where there had been
10 attacks upon the mosquitoes. DR.
Ybarra is quoted by the New York
Herald as follows:
IT the mosquito theory be the true
one, | believe that similar measures
should be taken against the spreading
OF yellow fever by other insects, for If
the disease is propagated by one pest,
the others must be equally dangerous
sources. do not say that yellow fever
may not be propagated by mosquitoes,
but do deny that they are the only
source Of The epidemic.

Liquor Spilled at Bucksport.

The Bucksport town fathers have no in
tention of going to Jail for violation Of the
liquor law. The few odds and ends OF intox-
icants which were left over when the liquor
agency was abolished were dumped over
the wharf to the fishes while some Of the
people looked on with mouths watering
and said it was a shame-such a wanton
destruction of property. It would have been
necessary to renew the U. S. stamp to keep
the liquors longer and overheard they went.

WEDDING BELLS.

JOHNSoN-RIvERs. One of the most de-
| lightful weddings which has taken place in
! Cushing for a long time occurred at the
home of A. r. Rivers at p. m. June 50th.
| The contracting parties were Arthur Web
ster johnson of Haverhill, Mass, and Miss
| Grace Lillian, only daughter of r. X. Xiv
| ers of South Gushing. The weather was
charming-just such day as Dame Ma
| ture knows how to provide for lawn we'd
ding. In front of the house, beneath the
shade trees, half circle arbor was taste
| fully arranged, decorated with daisies, but
tercups and ferns. About forty guests
! eagerly waited the appearance of the bridal
party, and at the appointed hour down the
daisy strewn path from the house came the
officiating clergyman, Rev B. c. Went
worth, uncle of the bride, who was follow
ed by the bridegroom, accompanied by B..
W. Rivers, the best man, and the only
/ brother of the bride. Then came the maid
of honor, Miss Carrie S. Richardson of
Newark, \. j., preceding the bride, who
was attended by her bridesmaids, Miss
Ethel Mae Wentworth of Old Orchard,
cousin of the bride, and Miss Eta Fillmore
of Cushing. Reaching the arbor they stood
beneath bouquet of daisies and butter
cups tied with white ribbon, where the cere-
mony was performed. The double ring
service was used. The bride was daintily
crowned in white silk and carried lilies of
the valley. Miss Richardson was dressed
in white silk null, trimmed with Chantilly
lace and carried buttercups. Miss Ethel
was dressed in white landsdown and Miss
Eta in white muslin. Both carried daisies.
AT the close of the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
