CONCERNING LOCAL INDUSTRIES

Gichrest is rushing work on the dredger.
She is planked above the bilge and the
calk ers are at work on the bottom. The
deck frames are in and houses on.
The Brown Medicine Co. has bought the
bottling machine formerly used by the Dana
to a 5-sphon machine now in the labora-
tory. The company is putting up 5000 bot
ties for distribution in Massachusetts. The
new mixing tank in the laboratory has ca
pacity of 500 gallons and its trial in the first
filling proved highly satisfactory.
Our boat builders are busy. l. NJ. Cot
rell has five men at work on the 5O-foot
launch for Bar Harbor parties, and four OF
the ten boats for the government have been
planked. Macomber is still at work on the
schooner Henrietta Frances and has orders

The primaries in Florida resulted in
an overwhelming plurality for Senator
Taliaferro. He had nearly double the
vote for Stockton, his leading competi-
tor, and within few hundred votes of
a majority over all. There is some talk
of another primary, but that could only
result in an increased vote for Senator
Taliaferro, who has rendered his State
and party good service and for that
reason, as we'll as by party usage, is en-
titled to denomination.

Why is it when certain politicians
are seeking support at the polls you
never hear of the merchants friend
the hsherman's friend. the mamufactuT
ers friend, the shipbuilder's or sailors
friend: The men engaged in these vari-
Gus lines are certainly interested as
much as any others in the enactment of
lust laws. in wise administration and the
promotion Of the general welfare But,
strange to say, you hear only of the
farmers friend. Why? Well, possibly
because of a mistaken idea as to the
position of the farmer of today. The
average politician is apt to regard the
farmer as man who lives away back,
in comparative isolation, as little verS-
ed in public affairs, and as an easy
mark for the dealer in political and
other green goods" This assumption
is of course an insult to the Maine far
mer of these days, and we are surprised
chat any politician who has arrived at
the dignity of long clothes should give
color to it. 1t is without the slightest
Justification or excuse. The Grange
as AZ educational and social force has
done much for the farmer; the R. T.
d. is bringing the news daily to his
door: his children are receiving the best
Of education, and he is enjoying all the
comforts and many of the Injuries of
life. These men are not to be fooled
by man who poses, for a purpose, as
the farmers friend. They recognize
the wolf in sleeps clothing at sight,
and they will resent the attempt to drag
the grange from the non-partisan posi-
ton which has been its salvation into
politics. How could the self-styled far
mer' S friend benefit the farmers of this
State if elected Governor? He does
not make the laws. The legislature
does that. 1t is the votes he is after;
that is all. And before the campaign
is over he will find out that the Maine
farmer is not easily fooled.

MI. L. O. Haskell, of the Pittsheld
Advertiser. who is attending the meet
ings of the National Editorial Associa-
ton in st. Louis. on the exposition
grounds, writes home advising those
who intend to go to the fair not to
hurry about it. He says it will take at
least SIX weeks more to get the falr ID
prime condition, and it will be still
longer time before everything can be
seen at its best. But no doubt, as with
other expositions, there is more to be
seen now than most people can see to
advantage in the time afforded; and
MI. Haskell concludes by saying: 1T
is great show.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
Ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Deep Mystery Explained.

Marietta had big sensation and
deep mystery several days ago.
The papers pubIis' ed long &C.
counts of the finding of a human
head in a cellar in that city, and
that all the police were endeavor-
ing to solve the mystery The
mystery has been solved as will be
seen from the following from
the Marietta Register: On
Tuesday of last week the police
were asked to look at head found
in a cellar on Scammei street
They went to the scene where the
skull of sheep which had prob
ably found it's way to said cellar
during the recent rise, was found
1t was not the skull a human be
ing, and had no resemblance of it
Neither was it the head of a mon
key or the missing link. 1t was
nothing more than the skull of a
common sheep, and was thrown
away and nothing more thought
of it, Later investigation shows
the head to have been originally
the property of DR.. Debney, who
got it at a butcher shop and had
intended to clean the skull go that
il. could be used in experimenting
