:obats Bros. Roger, which comes to the
Opera House on Saturday, afternoon

Seats on sale, this morning. A Will

up-to-date business, trick and me :

tire production. The fnality to this
act. shows Il full-siZed trolley car,

simply marvellous, and to cap the eli

"a Ragged Hero"

One of the most impressive effects
recently seen on the stage closes the
third act of "a Ragged Hero" which
comes y the Opera House on Thurs
day. May &c. and which introduces the
favorite comedian, George +. Hall. in n
new and pleasing role. The heroine
secures 4 reprieve for her unjustly
condemned lover and dashcs down hill
on bOb-slcd just as the laundering OF
an express train is heard. The villain
tries to prevent the train from being
tagged, but the ubiquitous ragged
hero" fOls him. The girl safely
crosses the tracks in front of the halt
ed and snorting locomotive and speeds
away on her errand of justice and iner-
cy. This effect is ingeniously and pic
turesquely contrived and furnishes d
stirring climax to the action. Popular
prices will prevail. This attraction
will close the regular theatrical sea-
son Of 1904 at the Opera House.

The Running Of Automobiles.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
l note that the public as well rs the
press seem somewhat in doubt as to
the running ability Of the modern Gaso-
line automobile. People seem to think
that an automobile is like horse. and
all one has to do is to keep the tanks
filed and the mac hine ought to run the
year round without other care
Lack Of knowledge is the most gen
eral difficulty in handling gasoline We
hicles. and if the manufacturers couIo
only sell experience with each mac hine
it would add greatly to tn satisfaction
Of customers.
AS it is, the manufacturers expect
reasonable care and intelligence on the
part of the operator. Because pur-
chaser cannot operate machine prop
erly it is useless to say the machine
viii not DO what is claimed of it the
less an operator can do with his ma
chine the more incapable he is in it's
operation.
person intending to buy any kind
of a motor vehicle should make up his
mind to learn to understand it thor
Oughly. or he had better buy a horse Jr
something that will run without brains.
If people would only stop TO think of
the care and attention required to run
n locomotive, stationary or marine en-
CINE. they would be less apt to criticise
the operation of automobiles.
Very truly yours.

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T.
A Few Minutes' Use of Hyomei Four
Times Day Cures Catarrh.

---
The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomci.
Simply put twenty drops of .Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breathe it for a few
minutes four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way OF treating catarrh will effect a
cure. but the most important discov-
cries of science have always been the
simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in this
way every particle Of air that enters
the air passages of the throat and head
and goes into the lungs is charged
with n healing balsam that kills the
germs and bacilli Of catarrh and
soothes and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show n decided Improvement and in a
short time there will be no. further
trouble from catarrh. Its action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei
A complete outfit costs $1.00 and IL after
using you can say that it has not
helped you Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means. Augusta, and Geo. w.
Dorr, Waterviile. will return your
money. What other treatment for ca
tarrh is sold under guarantee like
this?

mot many people have an idea of the
amount of snuff that is used in the
city" said a local druggist, yesterday,
as he was arranging a lot of boxes on
the shelves. you would be surprised
If should tell you the amount that we
sell III a year. and we don't hOl1 the
trade. either, for the grocery stores sell
it, too" And then he went on TO tell
about the article, and how it is used.
Most people associate the taking of
snuff with the old-fashioned habit of
inhaling by taking q pinch between the
thumb and finger and drawing it up
into the nose, but that Is only one way.
and n way which Is followed by COM
parative few. The habit is largely fol-
lowed by women and girls. in the mills,
and the most popular way of taking
snuff is in the mouth, not eating it. but
holding 1t something the way men use
tobacco. One form of taking it Is
known as digging" and is what might
be called the social form, as it Is usual
" INDUCED when three or four girls get
together. The preparations for dig
girg'' are quite elaborate, and the re-
quirements, beside the snuff and the
girl, are CASTLE soap and a piece of
slippery elm bark. The operator first
n!bbles a very small piece of fresh
CASTLE soap. and then takes into the
mouth n pinch of SNUFF, after which she
begins rubbing her teeth with the Slip
perry elm bark. This softens up. and
then the combination is in good work.
Ing order. What satisfaction they get
out Of it. Is rot explained. While Work
irg in the mill. the girls do not have
time to dig so they take the snuff ir.
another way. by pulling out the lower
lip. and dropping a pinch between the
lip and the gum. But the other way is
the most popular, and 5 o'clock digs
are quite the thing. Digging" makes
the teeth very white at first, but is bad
for them in the end, and the habit. once
acquired, is said to be hard to get rid

A collision in which one life was lost
and eleven people were more or less
seriously injured has occurred on the
Atlantic Coast line five miles from this
city. A local passenger train, No. Al,
ran into through train No. 35, which
had been stopped Internationally by
the accidental pulling of the bell cord.
A heavy fog prevailed, and the crew of
train No. Al had no reason to suppose
that No. 80 had stopped. The private
car Of General Superintendent Den
han of the second division of the At
lantic Coast line was partly demolish-
ed. Fireman Sam Davis of the accom-
mediation train was pinioned under the
engine and literally cooked to death.

the FREsHoLuERs' EXPLANATION

A miserable attempt was made by
the New Brunswick Daily Times last
night to excuse the Board of Free
holders and the firm of Rue g. Foun
tain for their defiant holdup of the
city OF Perth Amboy in getting it's
water main laid. That the Times
should be called upon to do this was
but natural al it is published for the
purpose of unfolding and defending
Democratic principles and the actions
of all Democrats whether right or
wrong. Boss Fountain and his crowd
need not think for one moment, how
ever that such an explanation" as
the Times gave is going to save them
this fall. The explanation" only
aggrayates matters. Here is a part
of it:
"Rue g. Fountain arc not willing to
permit the road way to be dug mp and
run tile risk Of having much of it
washed away should q storm come on
while the water main is being laid
without being properly protected.
They do not want a bond or agreement
as q guarantee that Perth Amboy will
put the road back as they find it, but
they desire the cash SO that they can
deduct therefrom the expenses they
are put to in repairing the road should
anything happen to it while the main
10 being laid"
The only understanding we find of
this remarkable Explanation is that
il the city's bond of $40, 600, to cover
any damage to the road, is accepted,
and il there should be no damage, the
city would keep the money and the
contractors get nothing. On the other
hand, If the city gives the contractors
81, 500 in cold cash, and there should
be no damage, the contractors keep
the money anyway, or in other words,
the contractors want to play the little
game Of "heads I win, tails You lose''
with the city. No thank you, Mr..
Fountain, Mr.. Fountains father-in.

FOUR TRAMPs KILLED.

FREDERICK, Nd, Sept. 30.-At Ca

Ohio railroad near here, four men We're
killed and n seriously injured by an
engine going east. Three of the vie
Tins were killed outright, while the
fourth was so badly hurt that he died
shortly afterward. The victims are
supposed to be tramps. The injured
man says his name is George Hill, Jr.,
Of Elwood, Pa.
At the time of the accident the men
were walking on the railroad track.
At Catoctin Switch all of them step

His characteristic traits were princi.

him not only deep convictions, but the
full courage of them. He was one OF
the few survivals of the time when a
demonstrated character and a capacity
for craftsmanship were deemed prere-

United States. Rightly, he represent

wherein a man can fight for his con

and still be continued in Office and
where political independence is not re-

Mr.. Hoar was chairman of the com

half a century in politics he could
write proudly in his autobiography
