Everybody in Augusta is delighted
at the growth of business at the Shoe

a hundred hands. This will mean that
by midsummer the factory will be
filled to its very limit, if they can Sc
cure the help. They have the reputa-

KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and so-calleC
system tOnics. Under such treatment
| the germs of the disease will still liv,
in the air passages and increase and
multiply
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys the
drives from the system all traces of ca
tarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. ]. S. Nugent, treas
urer of the American Union Life In
surance Co.. of New York City, writes:
"HyOmei has completely cured my
daughter of catarrh from which she has
been suffering for years"
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that
BoWditch & Webster and Percy W.
Means, Augusta. and Geo. w. Dorr
Watervillc, will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not
cured you.
Now is a good time to cure your
catarrh.

The following circular IS being sent out
by the agricultural department:
Dear Sir:
In our June Bulletin we shall consider
the subject of poultry raising. We re-
gard this as an important line of farm
work With the same amount of skill and
attention given to the business, We be
licve that the returns from this indus
try, in proportion to the capital and la
hur invested. will be as satisfactory rs
those from any other branch of farming.
The wide demand Tor poultry products,
which are found in some form among the
constituents of almost every well pre-
pared meal, and the increased prices OF
the past year. would seem to indicate that
poultry raising might be more extensively
pursued by many of our Maine farmers
with good results.
We would ask our correspondents to
give us their views in relation to the con-
struction and internal arrangements of
buildings for fowls, best breeds and best
methods of feeding for meal and egg pro
duction. the use of incubators and brood
ers, the feed and care of chickens. the
preparing and marketing of poultry pro-
duets and such other points as may sug-
gest themselves to You.
We shall be pleased to answer any ques-
| lions relating to the farm as fully as pos
sible. We also append the usual ques-
tons relating to the crops, etc, to which
| we ask Your careful attention.

A rather unusual sight was Witness
ed. Monday forenoon, from the Gardi-
ner and Randolph bridge when two
small steamers, the sally" and the
"Anodyne" made an Intellectual attempt
to tow skow loaded with brick
through the draw. The draw was open
on their signal and the two boats went
through it all right but the current
was too much for them and in spite of
their best efforts ,::e loaded skow could
not be drawn throug it and the tow
lines were necessarily loosened and the
skow drifted away from the bridge. "A
delay to traffic across the bridge of
some 20 minutes was occasioned by the
draw being open and a long string of
teams stretched from both.ends of the
bridge. Before the jam was freed a
freight train backed over the crossing
and caused another delay to teams.

The annual meeting of the Hubbard

members Of the board were elected, be-
ing, Ben Tenney, John w. Church,
Emma S. French, J. F. Bodwell, all of
this city and Henry Sampson Of New
York. After due consideration of the
matter, the board decided to permit
unrestricted access to the stacks on
the part of adults. This permission
cannot of course apply to children, but
adults may select books from the
shelves. and may use the west wing
for reading room. All patrons of the
library will agree that this is step in
the right direction. There are thous-
ands of books in the Library, which al
though catologued are in obscurity for
reason of an unfamiliarity on the part
OF readers, and the new rule is calca-
lated to enable a freer ana more bene-
fetal knowledge of what the shelves
contain.
