ESQ CLASS. PURSE $75.
Home for EriendIess Boys.

At this season of the year, when the
crops have been so abundant, will not
those who raise farm products have q
thought for the friendless and destitute
boys that have been placed in the Maine
Home for Friendless Boys, for care and
protection, until desirable permanent
homes can be secured for them. The
Home is supported largely through
benevolence, and the expense of provid-
ing food and clothing for the many boys
in the Home is large. The managers
would be most grateful for donations OF
vegetables, fruit and wood fuel. Per-
sons interested to help the Home by
giving any of the above mentioned do
nations may send them by express or
freight to Deering Junction, Maine. and
the charges will be paid by the man
ayers. Please notify by postal two days
in advance of shipping, and oblige Mrs.

French Gets Twelve Years

In court at Pennington last week Lee
ROY A. French was tried on an indict-
ment for larceny from the person of W.
G. Harlow of Dixfeld. The affair, an
account of which was given in the Demo
crat two weeks ago, occurred near
Rangeley and was one of the sensations
of tho season in Maine. The trial
brought out very very little that had not
already been told. The case, which
opened Tuesday forenoon, required
only a little over day to complete, and
the jury, after being out about an hour,
brought in u verdict of guilty Wednes-
day forenoon. French was sentenced by
Judge Strout to twelve years in state
prison. An attempt was made by French's
counsel to have him examined as to his
sanity, but this was refused by the court.

The Royal Month and TIE Royal
Disease.

Sudden changes Of weather are espe-
cially trying, and probably to none moro
so than to the scrofulOus and consump-
tive. The progress of scrofula during a
normal October is commonly great. We
never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily substance-withOut thinking OF
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures OF
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world.
There is probably not q city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not
proved its merit in more homes than
one, in arresting and completely eradicat-
ing scrofula, which is almost as serious
and as much to be feared as its near
relative-consumptiOn.

In the regimental team match, out OF
a team of twelve men representing the
First Regiment three were from Co. D.
Capt. j. W. Nash, @. NJ. Sergt. NJ. p.
stiles, and Corp. G. T. Tubbs. The
shooting was at 200, 800 and 500 yards
respectively, and the scores of the Nor
way men were as follows:
Q NJ. sergt. II: P. Stiles. -..--.------.S0 q Ss-S
Corp. G. I. Tubbs,- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 20 1o-ez
OF the entire twenty-four men in the two
regimental teams no one got higher than
so, and only four others got as high as
81.
The First Regiment team won the
regimental team shoot by score of 957
to 9O2. Each member of the winning
team receives medal and one hundred
rounds of service ammunition.
The Portland papers say in regard to
this contest: 20. NJ. Sergt. Stiles of
Norway was coach for the First Regi-
ment. It is said that the coaching of
Sergt. Stiles was a revelation to many
of the marksmen, and aided greatly in
the victory of the First Regiment team"
Q. NJ. Sergt N. P. Stiles of Norway
was the winner of the Peters prize,
case of ammunition for the company in
spector of rifle practice making the
highest aggregate score.
The c. NJ. Lilly prize, a service belt
for the high score at 300 yards was won
by Capt. j. w. Nash of Norway, who
made total of "a out of possible IS.
1t may be we'll to state that in the Opin-
| ion of all marksmen the 800 yard range
is the hardest of ranges in rifle practice.
After Tuesdays shooting was done,
Capt. Nash offered to shoot match on
Wednesday, for q purse, with either ten
or twelve men picked from Co. D,
against an equal number picked from the
rost of the First Regiment or from the
entire Second Regiment, but no match
could be arranged.
On Wednesday shoot was held for
the National Marksman reserve buttons.
This was open to all members of the
First Regiment, and all who were able
to make SO out of possible Is received
the buttons. Seven men shot, and the
three highest scores were made by three

equal in numerical strength to the
japanese, who had approximately 1885,

tiilery was superior in range and rapid

When the correspondent passed the
fre-swept bed of the Taitse river on
the way into, Liau-yang at noon of
Sept. 8, the Russian infantry had re-
tired from the immediate trent to
shelter behind the south wall of the
city. On getting into Lfau-yang 1t
was seen that Japanese rifle bullets
were falling around the railroad sta
ton and that all the stored lumber and
wooden buildings in that vicinity were
in flames.
Two hundred and twenty Chinese,
who had been wounded by shells which
fell inside the city, had been brought
together at the Chinese Red Cross sta
tfens 1t was apparent that the Rus
slams Were using the wallis of the city
for protection. This the Japanese dis
covered and continued to throw shells
into Liau-yang. The number of Chi

night all the Russian sentries were
withdrawn from Liau-yang. The pom
