A THOROUGH SUCCESS.

A Triumph Won by the Tonic Treatment
Strengthen the Stomach To Do Its Prop.
er Work and Permanent Relief Follows.
The tonic treatment for Indigestion is
having remarkable success in curing Obsti-
nate cases of that distressing malady. 1t
is based on the principle that remedies
which digest the food for the stomach real
ly weaken its powers through diSuSe, and
that the digestive organs can never do their
work properly until they are strong enough
to do it for themselves. The strength which
they need must be supplied through the
blood to the muscles and nerves. The en-
tire system then aids in the digestive proc
ess and recovery is rapid and thorough.
A striking Illustration of the soundness
of this principle is given by the recent cure
Of Miss May Briggs, OF No. 7 Alma Place,
Rochester, n. Y, after her case had become
truly desperate. "A year ago." says Miss
Briggs, 81 was all run down and neglected
myself in regard to eating. My stomach got
in terrible shape, so l could not eat any
thing but a little dry toast. l could not
keep milk down.
'sburing the year 1 had four doctors but
all failed to help me and l made up my
mind should never be any better. My
friends, too, gave up all hope for me. l
could fairly see the flesh leave me every
day. had no strength and was very pale,
and could scarcely drag myself around the
house. l had great soreness and fearful
cramps in my stomach and the agony was
so great that could not sleep at night.
81 made up my mind that would take no
more medicine after that which the doctor
had left me was used up. In the meantime
one of the advertising books of the DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People was thrown
in at my door. I picked it up, and read it
and decided to try the pills but without
ever thinking that tbeV would helm me as
they have, because 1 had taken so much
medicine without benefit, and had even
been made worse by trip to Florida which
was undertaken for my health.
81 began to get relief while | was taking
the first box and when had taken three
boxes was like new person. Ny friends
began to say, with surprise, How well you
are looking, and to ask, 'What are you tax
ing to make you look so much better?' DR..
Williams Pink Pills have performed Won
ders on me. 1 can eat anything now. am
strong again and entirely cured. feel very
thankful and hope my testimonial will do
some one else some good" These pills are
sold by all druggists throughout the world.

NAMES next GOVERNOR.
HON. WILLIAM T. COBB NOMINATED

ton be made unanimous.
Cheers greeted this speech, and then
came ex-Mayor Bradbury of Saco, who
on behalf of Col. Prescott, and all of
his delegates, seconded the nomination
of Cobb and moved to make it unani-
nous. The motion that the nomina-
ton be made unanimous was then put
and carried with wave of applause.
The chair appointed Henry w. Mayo
of Hampden, V. L. Coffin of Harring-
ton and F. NJ. Higgins of Limerick as
a committee to notify the nominee, and
presently the committee returned, es-
corting Mr.. Cobb, whose appearance
was the signal for another and long
continued burst of enthusiasm, in
which everyone joined. Mr.. Cobb was
introduced by Chairman Hale as ''the
next governor of Maine" and he adj
dressed the convention briefly, express
ing thanks for and profound apprecia-
ton of the honor conferred upon him.
He realized the responsibilities of the
gubernatorial Office, and, if elected,
would try to perform the duties we'll
and meet the responsibilities in man.
ner that should leave no cause for re-
greet on the part of any one. There
had been differences of opinion among
Republicans, previous to the nomina-
ton, but he hoped that henceforth all
the party would be united and enthu-
siastic in support of the ticket. If
elected, he would assume the office
absolutely free from any personal
pledges, and would do his best to en-
force all laws, to administer the gov
eminent of the State with economy,
maintain the public service at it's best
and guard carefully the interests of all
the people, using his every energy and
influence to the end that the State of
Maine might continue along her ira
ditional way of glory and progress.
Mr.. Cobbs speech was received with
great round of applause, and then,
while hundreds pressed forward to
shake his hand, the convention at Csc
was declared adjourned.
The delegates surged out into the
street, and the Cobb legions, with
bands playing and flags waving, and
their wonderfully clever banner bearing
dog in front, marched up Main street
to the Bangor House, while crowds
along the way gazed upon and applaud
ed the victorious, happy host.

GOVERNMENT HAD a CLOSE SHAVE
Deciding Vote by "a Justice Who Had

Deciding Vote by "a Justice Who Had
Views of His Own.
Very soon after Justice Harlan had
concluded his presentation of the case
it developed that there not only had
been a very close shave for the gov
ernment but that one of the members
Of the court who cast his vote with
the majority entertained opinions OF
his own, which fact rendered the di-
visiOn'a 'all the more marked and inter-
esting. This was Justice Brewer, who,
while he concurrcd in the result, an
nounced in an independent opinion of
his own that he held the view that
previous antitrust decisions had been
more sweeping than was justified.
On this point he said: Congress
did not intend by that act 1.-THE anti
trust lawI to reach and destroy those
minor contracts in partial res straint OF
trade which the long course of de-
cisions at common law had affirmed
were reasonable and ought to be up
held. The purpose rather was to add
a statutory prohibition with prescribed
penalties and remedies 20 nullify those
WHICH were III hiIttl
strafnt of trade. unreasonable and
against public policy"
He also held that the general Ian
guage of the act Is limited by the
power which the individual has to
manage his own property and deter
mine the place and manner of its in
vestment, saying Un this point: Free
dom OF action in these respects Is
the inalienable rights OF every
citizen. If. applying this to the pres
ent case, 1t appeared that Mr.. Hill
was the owner of a majority OF the
stock I'm the Great Northern Railway
company he could not by any act OF
congress be deprived of the right OF
investing his surplus means in the
purchase of stock OF the Northern Pa
cific railway, although such purchase
might tend to vest In him through that
ownership a control over both cOmpa-
nies. In other words the right which
all other citizens had Of purchasing
Northern Pacific stock could not be-
denied to him by congress because or
