SAVED BY DYNAMITE.

Sometimes, flaming city is saved by
dynamiting space that the fire can't
cross. Sometimes cough hangs on so
long, you feel as if nothing but dyna-
mite would cure it. z. T. Gray of Cal
houn, Ca, writes: "My wife had very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake nights. Two physicians could
not help her; so she took DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, which eased her cough, gave
her sleep, and finally cured her."

Experienced lumbermen say that
enough lumber is lost in Aroostook
County by waste and decay each year
to support single track railroad from
HoultOn to Bangor. If the trees and
parts thereof which now are thrown
away as waste and the trees that are
allowed to stand and decay because of
imperfect facilities for harvesting them
could be utilized, it would furnish a
business sufficiently large to support the
Bangor & Aroostook without any other
freight

The Reciprocity Convention.

Tomorrow and on Thursday con-
vention is to be held in Chicago to dis
cuss and il possible to advance the
interests Of reciprocity. The promoters
of the movement, chiefly men from the
middle West, are reported as very san
guine concerning results. They regard
the convention as the first gun Of cam
paign which will shake the country from
Aroostook to San Diego. They do not
fear Uncle JOE" CANNON, and the fact
that the President sidestepped when
asked for his open approval and coopera-
ton has not shaken their faith. They
believe that Mr.. ROOSEVELT believes in
the movement, and they think that
Uncle JOE does not quite know the
real feeling of the people on his ranch
and in its neighborhood.
We welcome and indorse any move
ment that will really make for the i'm
provement Of the material interests of
the nation. If reciprocity will increase
our national prosperity, give our people
more work, better homes and greater
happiness, let us have reciprocity.
But we should have much more faith
in the results of reciprocity and in move
ments and campaigns in favor Of it if we
could see little more aggressive activity
displayed in efforts to secure those many
millions of dollars worth Of business
which can be secured without it.

vantage In speed, and II can increase this con
siderab,y over present schedules, owing TO Its

provision may be made In the distant future for

The only certain thing is that an electric line be
tween Boston and New York is sure 10 come. and
that both the steam roads an the trolley lines must
some day prepare 10 meet the altered condition
