present l. attorneys, all of whon have
been retained to represent Mayor Nc
C.ellan. tomorrow, when the board of

Whitney Gains On Recount But Drap
cr's Election Stands.

Boston, Nov. 13.-The recount of the
vote cast at the state election in this
city for lieutenant governor was com
plcted in F;tneuil hall, late this after
noon. and showed u net gain of 315 for
Henry NJ. Whitney. the Democratic
nominee.
Reports of the recount throughout
the state have been received at the
Republican state headquarters from 81
cities and towns. including Boston, in
which changes occurred. There re-
main some 40 cities and towns to be
heard from. These returns show a
gain of Ill for Eben S. Draper, Re-
publican, and 542 for Mir. Whitney, a
net gain of 81 for the latter.
These figures reduce Mr.. Diapers
plurality to 1924. 1t is not expected
that the remaining cities and towns
will change this materially.

IN POLICE CIRCLES.
Search for Missing Dog-Notes from
the Agency Business.

Deputy Sheriff Morse of Augusta.
was engaged. yesterday. to trace val
liable bull terrier, owned by James X.
Jackson. 1t is suspected that the dog
was stolen, although no definite clue
has vet been discovered. Mr.. Jackson
missed the animal. last Friday. At that
time a barge, which has since gone to
an up-river port to discharge coal, was
tied up temporarily at the Berlin mill
wharf on account of low water. Mr..
jackson lives near this point. and sus-
pected that the dog was carried away
by one Of the sailors. An inspection OF
the barge by Deputy Morse. however.
resulted in nothing to sustain the belief
that the dog WAS destined for 81 sea-
faring life. The fact that several dogs
and cats have been taken from Gardi-
rer by sailors and that sailors have
offered to steal animals in other places
for Gardiner people. made the theory
upon which Deputy Morse worked seem
one of probabl, truth. The dog was not
only OF considerable worth in Il none
tary way, but was priced as pet that
had won the affection Of the family,
and Mi. Jackson says he will continue
the hunt Until he finds the animal or
is satisfied that it is lost forever.
Since the deputy enforcement COM
missionerS and the local officers have
made the sale of liquor SO nearly i'm
possible in Gardiner, there has been a
great demand at the city agency.
Liquor Agent Jewett. however. uses
good judgment in dispensing the goods
under his charge: consequently those
who seek to feel the warm glow of ar
dent spirits for other than legitimate
purposes find their purpose hard to full
fill These circumstances have driven
questionable purchasers to seek from
physicians prescriptions calling for
whiskey or other liquors. The doctors,
as a result. are bothered considerably,
and. incidentally. have curious expert
ences with their thirsty patients.
One of the leading physicians of the
city related to Marshal Andrews. last
evening. an incident which is particu-
larly illustrative.
"A man came into my Office Gay
or two ago said the doctor, and
asked me to prescribe whiskey for him.
He was pretty drunk at the time.
asked him if he had a quarter. He
gave me the coin, and I wrote the pre-
scription. He went with it to the
agency, In Il few minutes he was back
and there was an ugly look on his face
L could not get the stuff with that pre-
scription.' he said; and l told him
did not suppose he could. Then he de-
scribed my business methods in glow
ing terms, and demanded his money
which / refused to surrender. | tolt
him l knew that if l had refused t.
give him the prescription. he would
have stood outside my door and called
me all the vile names he could think
of. so it seemed better to give a prac-
H-1f lesson. He showed his displeasure
freely. but consented after short time
to make his departure without causing
serious trouble.

county over the cure Of the little
daughter of /. N. Whipkey of Rheuma-
tism. She was a great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to
improve almost at once and now she
is cured and can u and play as other
children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right

BLACK vuLruRE A CURIOSITY
Rare Specimen Found by Farmer Near
Buffalo, NJ. Y.


Thanks to L. S. Bachus. a well-to
do farmer living near Derby, Erie
county, the Buffalo zoo now owns
what is believed to be the only vulture
living in northern climes. What
makes the story more interesting is
the fact that this bird was grown in
Erie county and was grown wild at
that.
Mr.. Bachus was doing some work in
one of his fields when he noted an un-
usually large bird perched upon a hol.
low log. The birds actions led him
to believe that its home was in the
hollow log, SO he approached for pur.
poses of inspection at close quarters.
AS he drew near the log the bird
which was full a grown black vulture
or turkey buzzard, flew away. Mr..
Bachus then Investigated the interior
of the log and found a nest contain
ing a young vulture. He did not
know what the bird was, but he de.
termined to find out, so he hitched up
and drove to Buffalo.
DR.. Crandall at once recognized a
rare specimen, for these parts. and he
told Mr.. Bachus that he never knew of
but M of this species nesting so far
north as this. The vulture is already
a big bird, although only about three
months old, being much larger than a
large crow and measuring fully four
feet from tip to tip of it's wings.-Buf-

Cause Of OCEAN Tldss.

Tides are caused by the gravita-
tional attraction OF pull Of the sun
and moon upon the water, and upon
the earth itself. The moon being so
much nearer than the SUM-, is. of
course, the principal cause. When
the moon is directly over a given
place 1t pulls the water under it, and
thus tends to keep up a tidal wave
just under the moon. At the same
time it is pulling the eartn itself; but
1t pulls the water more than the earth
underneath, simply because the moon
is nearer to the water on the surface
than it is to the solid earth behind it.

Shells for HoIv Water.

Tridacna shells are very commonly
used in churches in Europe for holy
water basins and even fonts. The
largest, perhaps. are those in use in
ST. Peters Rome. These shells attain
a weight Of 500 pounds (the two
valves together), the animal Itself
sometimes being twenty pounds in
weight. The word "tridacna" is from
the Greek tridaknos (eaten at three
bites), but who could eat a twenty
pound animal at three bites7--St.
Nicholas.
