Maine w. c. T. u.

The thirteth annual convention of the
Maine Woman's Christian Temperance
Union convened at the Congregational
church in Augusta Sept. 18th, 1904. The
roll call of the morning found a good
number of officers and delegates present,
and before noon there had arrived more
than 200.
The morning news of the election of
several sheriffs known to be in direct
opposition to the principles of the soci-
ETY. was the first matter presented by the
president, Mrs. Stevens, after the con-
vention was formally opened. As was to
be expected, not note of discourage
ment was struck. While the result of
the election was deplored, where it
was adverse to our cause, yet the SEEM
ing defeat was used as an incentive to
more and greater activity for the cause
of right, which is sure to win some day.
The reports of the departments showed
good work done during the year. In
several there has evidently been more
han the usual interest. This was no.
ticeable in the work for children and
youth.
Two of the county presidents have
died during the year, Mrs. Spaulding of
Aroostook and Mrs. Beede of Farming
ton, and at the memorial service it APP
peared that an unusually large list of
active workers have gone from us.
The gain of five hundred members
over and above all losses lacked but a
few of being made, and if all dues had
reached the treasurer before the books
were closed, this would have been accom-
plished.
Oxford County has not quite come up
To the mark Can not more active work
be done in our Unions for their immedi-
ate vicinity and adjacent towns?
All the officers were reelected, and
many of the uperntendents. Some
changes as usual had to be made. One
action favorable to the superintendent
was taken. 1t was decided to assume
the expense of their attendance on the
next state convention, which will prob
ably be held at Bar Harbor.
The state organizers, Miss Alice Moore
and Miss Jennie Belle Price, were con-
tinued, but with an increase of salary,
which is as it should be. Miss Moore
will work in other states, but Miss Price
will spend the year in our own state,
where plans for her are already being
made by the county presidents.
On the afternoon of the last day, the
Loyal Temperance Legion of the city
came in body to the convention. and
was addressed by Miss Anna Gordon,
worlds superintendent of L. T. L. work.
The exercises of the evenings were
varied and interesting. The medal con-
test was much enjoyed. Mrs. Howe of
Missouri, national organizer, who has
been in our state since May, was the
speaker on the last evening, and gave a
fine address.
The convention was good and the spirit
of the meetings hopeful for the final
results of the work.

SOUR STOMACH.

When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich, sour
stomach is likely to follow, and es-
pecially so if the digestion has been
weakened by constipation. Eat slowly
and not too freely of easily digested
food. Masticate the food thoroughly.
Let five hours elapse between meals, and
when you feel a fullness and weight in
the region of the stomach after eating,
take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets and the sour stomach may be
avoided. For sale by Shurtleff & Co..

Program for Paris Grange for Oct. is
GERTRUDE TwITCHELL, Lecturer

An excellent suggestion made by l..
5. Swan in the annual meeting of the
society during the recent fair is that
signs should be placed in the halls, re-
questing the people to pass to the right,
SO that all would move in the same d.
rection. As it is now, during the rush
hours people are pushing both ways, and
it is pretty crowded. A still further re-
lief would be afforded if people could be
prevailed upon not to stand in the door
way. But il seems to be favorite place
for the little informal reunions which
are so pleasant and valuable feature OF
the fair, aud the habit would probably
break off with difficulty.
1t is unnecessary to inform our readers
in this section that we had last week one
of the severest cold spells ever known in
September. Wednesday night following
a rough. cold day, the wind went down
and there was heavy frost. Thursday
was another Arctic day, and that night
there was still heavier frost-indeed, a
freeze. Thermometers in tine village
registered as low rs 20 degrees Friday
morning. 1t is said that apples froze on
the trees to some extent, and tender
plants were killed. The greatest dam
age was of course to the sweet corn crop,
the growth of which was stopped and
the fodder spoiled. The corn which was
ready for canning was not spoiled, but II
must be taken care of at once, and IL mas
been rushed into the factory at great
rate for the last few days. Some fields
of late corn are practically cut oil, and

Boy Killed at Mexico.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING THERE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.

A dispatch to the Portland Press from
Mexico reports an accidental shooting
affair in that town Sunday. Towards
the last of the afternoon Russell Bishop,
the eight year old son of Mrs. Ramsay,
and Irving Kimball, the ten year old son
of Don Kimbail, went on an errand to
Don Babb's. The Kimball boy picked
up a revolver which was lying on shelf
to examine it and accidentally pulled the
trigger. The bullet entered the temple
of young Bishop and at six o'clock ne
died.
A coroner was called but deemed an
inquest unnecessary.
Mr.. Babb had been using the revolver
to kill cat.
