Triumphs Of rlodern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and polished and put back, or
they may be removed entirely; bones are
spliced; pipes take the place of diseased
sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are
applied to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation sets in.

To the Board of Commissioners of Rising Sun

To The Board of Commissioners of Rising Sun:
submit herewith my eighth annual report as
Treasurer of your Board.
When accepted this position eight years ago,
the Borough enjoyed wooden sidewalks thatwere
worn out and in dtlapidated condition in many
places. At present the entire Borough with very
little exception, is provided with permanent stone
walks Aside from a slight annual expense tor
repairs these walks will cost the Town nothing for
renewal as was the case every few years when wood
Eight years ago the Borough lighting was con-
tract job and the lights were not promptly put on
or well kept or recent years every one admits
the contrast is most strkingly in favor the pres
ent system.
Ali who possess a reliable memory must admit
that the policy of recent managements has vastly
improved matters, and this is all due to the care
and painstaking of the several Boards that have
had charge OF the Borough affairs.
1t is well tor the Borough that the selection OF
Commissioners receives more concern and such
being the case only good men will be put on the
ticket and no matter who is elected the Borough
affairs will be cared for by good Board. Only
it likely that an incompetent Board may be
elected.
there should be no difficulty in reducing the pub
lie debt annually and while 1t exists the property
of the town amply offsets all liabilities.
After securing the best Judgment OF many

THE WINTER OF 1861.
Coldest of the Nineteenth Century I'm
New England.

Coolest of the Nineteenth Century I'm
New England.
The winter of 1861 was noted for be-
ing one of the coolest, and. in fact, it
was the coolest one, in the century.
The coolest day Of the winter was Fri
day, Feb. 25, and is known as cold
Friday. There had been a heavy
storm of light, fine snow. 1t cleared
off cold, and the wind blew a. perfect
gale, thus making the cold more fear
full. The air was filled with snow so
thick one could see only rod or two
in any direction. Men who were oblig-
ed to be on the road persisted and were
found frozen as hard as marble statues.
A very few travellers survived the or
deal. But few had thermometers in
those days to tell how cold it really
was, but what few there were regis
tered 40 to so below zero in Androscog-
gin, and in Aroostook county it was
even lower. Penobscot bay was frozen
over so solid that Sam Randall Of
Vanalhaven took a horse and sleigh
and, together with the Hon. Martin
Kiff, who was the representative to the
legislature from Vinalhaven, cruised
from vinalhaven to North Haven, then
to Saddle island, then to Camden and
thence across country to Augusta,
where he left Kiff and returned to vi
nalhaven again safely. Portland harbor
and Boston harbor were frozen over
solid. Thousands of the Boston people
availed themselves of the fact, and the
Ice on the harbor was covered with
skaters.-Lewiston Journal.

1t is understood that the cattle men. are
in the saddle again in Nebraska. Last
year much qualification was felt at the
stand taken by the President for the pro-
lands. After Dewey's cowboys had
assassinated the Berrys, his righteous i'd
dignation was manifest. He declared
that COW. boys should not be permitted to
violate the law any more than other peo-
pie, and he appointed as special agent
to enforce the law, Col. John S. Mosby,
the Virginia guerilla who was constant
menace to the army of the Potomac
during the Rebellion Him he sent to the
plains to cut the wire fences and give the
honest settlers chance. Then Senator
Dietrich telegraphed to him, Come
here" Mosby replied, eff you want to
see me, come here" Both Senators,
Dietrich and Willard, obeyed, but they
said to Mosby, "See here If you keep
on, you'll lose us the state next Novem-
Der as sure as death and taxes T." Mosby
refused to bulge, but went on cutting
fences. However, and this is the mys-
terious part, he came meekly to Wash
ington while ago, was promoted to be
Assistant Attorney General, and is now
engaged in settling a rail-fence case
against lone darkey down in Alabama.

Robert M. McLane, Mayor of Balti-

noon by shooting himself through the

whose practice is mainly devoted to
criminal cases, coincide in the opinion
that the Mayor committed suicide while
temporarily insane-emotionally insane,
occasioned by overwork and criticism, as
since the great fire he has been under
great strain.
Mayor McLane's death changes the
political complexion of the city of Balti

In view of the things that have

be a cruel and heartless person who
would endeavor to lessen any of the

the extent of seeking ito disabuse his

the youngster is to be accepted as an

While the number of democratic
newspapers that cannot honestly and
consistently give support to- the nomi-
nees Of their party, and in conse-
quence are coming out for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks, continues to increase,
it is notable that not a single republi-
can publication of prominence or
standing has seen fit to desert it's
party and go over to the other side.
After a severe tussle with itself and
a probing of it's conscience, the New
York Sun has concluded to stand for
honesty and good government and now
gives it's u~nreserved support to the
republican ticket. The newspapers
with which the Sun was formerly in
lime affect to make light of the con
version and are saying some harsh
things of their erstwhile ally, but the
latter continues ''to shine for all" and
is delivering some sledge hammer
blows to the man from Esopus and
the cause he represents.

Considering that gentleman's rela-
tions to- Wall street and his position
Of confidential advisor to M of the
greatest trust magnates in the land,
those of the democratic newspapers
that are in a measure honest and sim
cere in their inveighments against
unlawful combinations of capital must
find it graveling to accept Augustus
Belmont as one of the high priests of
their cult. Not until the president let
it be known that he was in earnest
when he said that all combinations in
restraint of trade would be prosecuted
to the full limit of the law and IL
necessary to successfully bring about
their dissolution new laws would be
framed did the great fnancier give
testimony to the possession of any
thing akin to political convictions or
preferences. He then came out rs a
democrat and along with j. j. Hill and
the others who had been made to feel
the effects of laws long def1ed ar
rayed himself in opposition to Roose-
welt. And yet, democratic editors
would have the people believe that
Will street favors the election Of the
