Belfast Good Templars.

Belfast Lodge, No. 30, held very inter-
esting meeting Monday evening, with a
goodly number present notwithstanding a
storm was raging. Talks were given by
several members regarding the union tenn
perance meeting at the NJ. E. Church, Sun
day evening, endorsing all Rev. J. w. Hatch
said in his excellent discourse, and hoping
we might have these meetings often to
arouse our citizens to their sense of duty to
the youth of our city. The following reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Rev. f. s. Philbrook, pastor of
the First Baptist church, and a prominent
member of our lodge, was lately publicly
assaulted by leading rumseller in this
city; therefore. belt
Resolved, That we are exceedingly thank
full that his injuries were not serious, as was
doubtless intended.
Resolved, That we express our thanks to
him and to other temperance workers for
their efforts to enforce the law, and we
trust that they will be sustained by our new
county officers, in closing more of the rum
shops, and intlicting Jail sentences as de-
served.
The meeting next week will be postponed
on account of Christmas. January 9 1905,
the lodge will have a especial" entertain
ment, and social time, with refreshments.

REACHING THE spot.
1T CAN BE DONE, so SC RES OF
BELFAST CITIZENS SAY.

To cure an aching back,
The pains OF rheumatism,
The tired out feelings,
You mist reach the spot-get at the cause.
In most cases tits the kidneys.
DOan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys.
W. J. Heal of 81 Miller street, Belfast, Maine,
says "This is the first time have publicly testi-
fed to the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills, but
have known of the value of this remedy for
twelve or fourteen years. l was living in Bel
mont, Maine, when first began to use them and
was then having considerable trouble with my
back and kidneys. There was a severe aching
in the small of my back and it difficult for
me to stoop and just as hard to regain an erect
position after STOPPING. DOan's Kidney Pills re-
lieved me of these troubles, and when felt an
other attack coming on some years later knew
just what was needed. l got a supply of Doan's
Kidney Pills and this remedy banshed the back
ache and corrected the other difficulties just as
it had done in the first instance Doan's Kidney
Pills are the best kidney remedy know Of and
have recommended them to others many times"

We were somewhat surprised to
learn that a Boston newspaper had
given currency to report that the
Bango or & Aroostook railroad would not
build to Belfast, but would stop at the
proposed deep water terminus at Stock
ton Springs. This report had not the
slightest foundation in fact The ex-
tension to Belfast is an important feat
ure OF the enterprise, and without it
the road would not be built at all. To
build sixty miles OF railroad ending at
Stockton Springs before the completion
of docks and other needed terminal
facilities would not be thought of by
the prac teal railroad men who control
the L. 4 a. With the road extended
to Belfast they would have command
Al once of transportation facilities by
the Maine Central and Eastern Steam
ship Co., and these will no doubt be
awaited of to certain extent after the
work at Stockton Springs has been
compile ted. We confidently expect to
hear the B. < \. trains whistling into
Belfast before the close of the coming
year.

One of our enterprising farmers, Otis FL
well, died very suddenly while at his work
few days since. Although he had COM
planned of not feeling well week before

came as shock to his neighbors and friends.
He was possessed of a cheerful disposition,
and we shall miss his frank smile and ready
word of greeting. lie was one of that now
fast diminishing number, a soldier of the
Civil War. George Elwell is very sick
with rheumatic fever and is a great sufferer.
His mother, Mrs. Sarah Elwell, is helping
to care for him.: Alpha Hall and family
have moved into the house formerly occupied
by Herbert Peavy. People in the vicinity
of the Station have secured their ice for
another year and it is of the best quality.
There is great advantage in getting it so
early as the streams are now easy Of access:
-. Littlefeld Bros. shipped a car load of
hoops recently. Sidney johnson, Sidney
and Esther Evans are attending school in
Freedom. Ross Littlefeld went out hunt
ing not long ago and after being out about
an hour killed fine buck. 1t was his first
at deer hunting. He remember

During the recent State campaign
the d emocratic candidate for Governor
expended some of his ammunition on
the State printer; but, as was the case
with his attacks upon other branches
of the State government his charges
were disproved, and most effectually as
regards the State printing. The Ken
nebec Journal of Aug. 9th gave full
and fair statement, based upon official
facts and figures, concerning this print
ing; and no fail minded man could read
it without being impressed with the
fact that the interests of the State are
safeguarded and that the work is well
and faithfully done by the present State
Printer, Clarence b. Burleigh. The
stories OF excessive charges, deficiency
appro priations, etc, are devised solely
for political effect and have no foun-
dation in fact The prices of print
ing are the same as in 1882, notwith-
standi ng the increase in printers
wages and the shorter working hours,
and are less than is paid by others
for the same class of work. The
Apr opriation for printing has only
been increased $500 since 1865, while
the increase in the amount of work
called for is far greater in proportion.
The facts relative to the cost of printing
are published in the State Treasurer's
reports and available to every citizen
of Maine for the asking; and the audi
tor of the printing is Mr.. Stephen Berry
OF Portland, Grand Secretary of the
Grand Masonic Lodge of Maine, a prac-
teal printer of many years experience
and gentleman whose integrity no
one will question. To take the State
printing away from Augusta would
surely enhance the cost and cause
great inconvenience. The Kennebec
Jour nal has been years in building up a
plant to do this work expeditiously and
well, and it includes the daily publica-
ton of the official report of the proceed
ings of the legislature, in which all our
people are, or should be, interested.
We believe that our legislators after
giving this matter the careful consid-
,rati on called for will decide that the
eel ton OF the present State Printer
will be for the best interests of the |
tate.

Why should the newspapers devote
so much space to the affairs of Nan
Patterson and Caesar Young? Both
belonged to the underworld and led
immoral lives. One was chorus girl
the other gambler. One has met the
death to which those of his type are
liable and the other is Oh trial for muir
der. The public should have no inter-
est in the matter further that the law
should take its course and the guilty be
punished.
