A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for Doan's Ointment in Belfast

Relief from the miseries of itching piles is
always welcome to every sufferer; but to cure it
for good is what is wanted. Cure 1t so it will
stay cured. 1t can be done. Here's the strongest
evidence to prove it.

PROSPECT.

PROSPECT.
The members of the Clark Sunday school
had clam bake at the bar, Searsport Har-
Dor, last Thursday. Over so attended
Two hayracks carried the party, one driven
by Charles Gray and one by Charlie Clark.
The Gray hayrack broke down near the
Emerson place and it was necessary to Dor
row some wheels to take the place of the
broken ones The party dug large guam
tity of cams and did ample justice to them,
as we'll as to the picnic dinner. The super
intendent of the Sunday school, Mrs. Ever
EFT Littefeld, called the young people to-
gether for singing in the afternoon. Among
the singers are Evelyn Clark, Isabel and
Roy Littlefeld, Charlie Clark and Mrs. Eva
Gross. The youngest person present was
Lillian littlefeld, a very popular little
lady, months Old. Some of the young peo-
pie enjoyed shooting contest. The parti-
cipants were Arthur Haley, Charlie Gray
and Miss Ada Clark. Misses Agnes Ward,
Ada Clark, Christine Clark and Amos Lane
went across the bar to Sears Island in the
forenoon. Miss Bertha Partridge was pres
ent with her camera and took photographs
of the company. Everyone had fine time
and the clam bake was voted great sue
cess. The Centre Sunday school members
of North Stockton Springs went on a clam
bake to Cape Jellison Wednesday. The
party hired boat and had a pleasant time.

Fumes From Burning Charcoal Get
In Their Awful Work.
Endeavored TO Escape From cistern
He Was Piastering.
Strength Failed Him and He Fell
From a Lac der.
From Wednesdays Daily.

~~~~~ 'S~y DAys
William l.. Tidland, twenty eight
years old, had narrow escape from
asphyxiation in the cistern of the new
cottage that A. E. Walrath has about
completed on Sherman avenue. Between
three and four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, Tidland descended down into
the cistern for the purpose of plastering
the same. He took with him a small
charcoal stove for the purpose of dry
ing the frost out of the stone walls and
helping the plaster dry. The fumes of
the burning charcoal soon began to
vitiate the atmosphere within the en-
closure, but Mr.. Tidland took no notice
of this for some time. The only exit
from the cistern being a small trap door
in the first floor of the building, there
was no chance for ventilation. By and
by Mr.. Tidland felt sickening feeling
come over him and ceased work. A.
E. Walrath was just letting bucket of
mortar down through the trap door,
when Mr.. Tidland told him to draw it
back. This Mr.. Walrath did expecting
Mr.. Tidland to emerge from the opening.
Mr. Tidland climbed up the ladder and
had just succeeded in getting his head
above the opening in the floor when his
strength failed him and he fell back
wards down the ladder to the floor. of
the cistern eight feet below. Mr.. Wal
rath had not noticed what had happened
and for a few minutes suspected that
nothing was wrong. By and by, seeing
that Mr. Tidland did not come up out
of the cistern, Mr.. Walrath and W. S.
Albrant, who happened also to be in
the new house, looked down into the els
tern for the man and saw him lying
helpless on the floor. They hastily pro-
cured a rope, descended the ladder, tied
it around the body of the asphyxiated
man and drew him out through the
trap door. Mr.. Tidland's face bore the
ashen hue of death. A physician was
summoned by telephone and succeeded
in reviving the endangered man after
working over him for nearly an hour.
The patient was then removed to his
home on Charles street. His escape
had indeed been narrow. He had re-
manned in the vitiated atmosphere two
or three minutes longer he would have
been past all possibility of rescue. Mr..
Tidland is a nephew of w. H. Tidland,
the village recorder.
