Vinalhaven Man Acquitted.

Andrew ID. King of Vinalhaven, who
was brought back from Quincy, Mass,
on March u, to answer to charge of
manslaughter in connection with the
death of his wife on March !, was ac-
quilted by Judge Charles E. Meservey
in Rockland, March IS, without having
to offer any evidence in his own behalf
The coroner's inquest held the day at
ter Mrs. Kings death returned YER
dict of death from natural causes, and
sustained Mr.. Kings contention that
his wife's bruises were the result OF a
fall. Some days later the local authori-
ties had an interview with Robert
Strachan, boarder with King. and it
is alleged that he told them that he saw
Mr.. King assault his wife. AS the re-
suit of the interview Mr.. King was ar
rested in Quincy, Mass, where he had
gone on business trip. Mr.. King re-
turned without extradition proceedings,
but when the local authorities attempt
ed to subpoena Strachan he could not
be found.

tories, of whose policies, conquests,
edifices and riches Of Francisco Lopez
and others have written large dis
courses. The Empire of Guiana is
directly east from Peru toward the sea,
and lieth under the equinoxal line,
and it has more abundance of gold
than any part OF Peru, and as many or
more great cities than ever Peru had
when it fiourished best. l have been
assured by such as have seen Manoa,
the interior city of Guiana which the
Spaniards call Ell Dorado, for the great
ness, the richness and for the excel
lent seat, it far exceedeth any of the
world, at least of SO much of the world
as is known to tile Spanish nation. 1t
is founded upon lake of salt water,
200 leagues long, like unto Mare Cas-
piam. Although | am persuaded
Guiana cannot be entered by the
Maranzon, yet no doubt the trade Of
gold from thence passeth by branches
OF rivers with the river Amazon, and
so doth on every side far from the
country itself. For those Indians of
Trinidad have plates of gold from
Guiana, and those canibals of Dominica,
also all the other nations round about
have plates of gold of Guiana. And
upon the river of Amazon the people
wear croissante of gold, for in that form
the Guianans most uncommonly make
them" FANNIE b. WARD

BLOOD CELLS.
IN HEALrH. m pYsrAsk.

Nan 10 millionaire mary times over in
the possession of blood cells Woman is
not quite SO rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is five million; in women four
and half million, to the square millimetef
The normal cell 10 not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mil
lions of rich red blood cofpuscles If they
only know how to 60 about it. DR.. R. v.
Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
lures laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need tonic and diges-
tive corrector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
into fuller and more oriplete action. This
medicine he called TT. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles the per-
sons blood takes on a rich red color and
the cofpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.

GOVERNORS MESSENGER.


AUGUs IA. Me, March 2s. George w.
Leadbetter of Rockland, young man
of quiet te mperament and polite de-
meanor, chuck full of days work and
with some political aspirations, has
just leaped from the limerick city Of
Knox into the lime light publicity of the
State government. He is the new
messenger to the governor and council,
and for the next four years he will con-
traSt the eXacting duties OF bookkeeper
for a private concern with the sinecure
of being servant of the common
wealth. His job changes from concen-
tration to Obse rvatlon.
Mr.. Leadbetter is 80 years old and
the youngest messenger the State has
had for many years. He was born in
Lincolnvllle in 1872, and attended the
public schools until he was Is. Soon
after completing his studies he entered
the employ of the Cobb lime company
as bookkeeper, which position he held
till that company sold out its business
This is the first political office he ever
| held, although he came near holding
another d year ago, when some of his
| friends induced INN to try for a place
| IN the common council III ward 2. A
| u oSCl
which heN had no control, sidetracked
his purpose.
The office of messenger does not pay
very much in dollars and cents, but
makes 1t up IN push, power, pomp and
prestige. y person i'll this office has an
opportunity to meet many Of the pub
lie men of the State, and often to be on
the inner councils of the powers that
be-. Besides, it furnishes an entering
wedge for other plums on the political
| tree.
There is certain fascination in being
close to the fountain head of the gov
eminent, and Mr.. Leadbetter is enjoy
ing the experience. Mrs. Leadbetter
will be with him most of the time, and
they have taken comfortable quarters
in the capitol city.

REV. A. M. MACDONALD WINS.
Dodge Will Case Settled After Long Del

Dodge Will Case Settled After Long Delay.
After nearly year of litigation verdict
has at last been reached in the Probate
Court in Jacksonville, Fla, sustaining the
named Rev. A. NJ. Macdonald as executor
and residuary legatee. The allegations
charging mental incapacity and undue i'll
tluence were not proven.
The relatives in whose names the suit
was commenced were freed by contract
with the attorneys from any expense in
VOWED in the case. Some OF these relatives
withdrew from the suit when the nature of
the prosecution became known.
Probably the case will be appealed to the
higher court, in which case another year
will expire before d final settlement is
reached. Meanwhile the business of the
firm is being conducted by the surviving
partner.

Motor Boats Must Whistle.

PORTLAND, Me-, March 20. 1t looks
now as if motor boats would be re-
quired to carry whistle operated by
compressed air. This means quite an
expense for the owners of the smaller
motor boats, as the whistle is liable to
cost about quarter as much as the
boat. The law says that motor boats
shall have whistle operated by COM
pressed air or other power, and power
seems to mean that there is not much
else that can be used outside of COM
pressed air. OF course steam is all
right but steam boilers are not erected
in gasoline motor boats.

BIG NAMES OF SMALL TOWNS.

The myriad of little American ham,
let's and villages that bear big names
present somewhat amusing spectacle.
Some curiosities inthat line are worthy
of mention.
There is a cluster of houses down in
Henderson county, Tex, which is called
New York. Miles from the nearest
railway, it leads an isolated, self-reliant
life and does not worry about rapid
transit subways or bridge congestion.
Besides the Windy City, on Lake
Michigan. there are three little Chica-
COS and two New Chicagos. One Chi
cago, in the mountains of Kentucky, is
on railroad running south from
Louisville, on which in one afternoon
the traveller passes through Boston,
Chicago, Pittsburg and London.
There are nine little Philadelphias,
none of them noted for great thrift or
enterprise.
A score or more of places have bor-
rowed the name of the Hub.
Brooklyn is favorite name. There
| are at least a dozen of them, but none
more peacefully situated than Brook
Ign, Penn.
Almost every state mas d Wasnlng-
ton. Washington, KY, is one OF the
Oldest towns in the State and almost
contemporaneous with Washington. D.
c. Its old courthouse was erected in
1894
1t has another distinction. AS girl,
Harriet Beecher, afterward Mrs. Stowe,
taught school there. 1t was in the old
slavery days, and once she witnessed a
sale of negroes in front OF the old
courthouse. The incident made such
lasting impression that Uncle Toms
Cabin" was the result.
High amid the snowcapped Big Horn
mountains of Wyoming is Buffalo.
Cincinnati, ILL.,, is fading away, if one
may judge from the replies of local
photographers. ''There is not enough
of the old town left to make photo
graph writes one, "but l will 60 and
get picture of what remains. New

Grace to give me strength and courage,
All my daily tasks to face.

Let my waking heart be light,
Let me feel through all tomorrow
The sweet comfort of tonight.

By the kindness of my ways,
And to God, like flowers to sunshine,
Will my heart turn, all my days.

Apples, Eggs and Potatoes.

The late holders of choice, well-kept
apples in western New York won out,
it appears, after all, if we are to be-
lieve what is said on very good au-
thority that within the past week a
New York apple operator in conjunc-
ton with an exporter has bought 1O0,-
600 barrels or over and has secured
nearly everything fancy to be found in
the apple territory of that State. Prices
to holders are reported to have been
from So to $3.50 per barrel.-Maine
Farmer.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1905-04-06

Among other features in trade is the
decline in eggs, which favors the poor
in very marked degree. 1t is due to
the heavy arrival of large lots delayed
in transit, with prospects of still great
er supplies and lower figures may be
expected. Potatoes and other vege-
tables are lower and what good news
this is to the impoverished masses.
Holland, indeed, is now sending us veg
etables and Rotterdam potatoes are
quite popular-New York Letter.
