SEWERAGE EXTENSION.
System on College Avenue to Be Much
Benefited by 1t.

street Commissioner Crafty has be-
gun an extension of the sewerage sys-
TEN on College avenue which is a
much-needed Improvement aud for
" mich there has been a great demand
in years past. The direction of the
sewer follows the length of College av-
cnue until the rise of ground which is
opposite the Maine Central freight
yard is reached. Hitherto the drainage
of the houses i'm this location has been
directly to- the river. but by this
change. however, the houses are
brought into connection with the city
system through nearly circular
course which circumVents the hill. be-
ginning with Canabas street. through
Bacon street. to Collins street. to Col
legp avenue. The dwellings of Ned
Me;,iler and A. o. Lombard will also be
connected with the system by an eX-
tension. Another improvement in con-
ncction with the work of the street de-
partment in this section of the city
will be the building of IA gravel walk
which will reach from opposite the
Catholic cemetery nearly to Myrtle
street.

Charles =. Keith,

Charles +. Keith, another of Wafer
ville's most valued citizens, passed
away at his home at O'Clock, Wednes-
day morning. at the age of SIS wears
and 10 months.
Probably few men who have made
their homes within the confines of this
city have ever attained to such wide
spread popularity without never hay
ing entered upon public career as
did Mr. Keith. Having worked in the
service of the NJ. c. r. r. for a period
of 43 years, which time ceased with his
recent illness. he had Il reputation as
d railroad man which was second. per-
taps. to none other in the State. Other
employees of this company are now
living who boast of Il longer term of
service than the one mentioned, but
none other man can be found who
starting in with no educational ad-
vantages, has rise to IL prominent posi-
ton and neld the same for so many
years.
Nj. Keith was born in Winslow June
y, 1S49. and was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Simeon Keith. who subsequently,
moved TO Watervillc. After attending
the public schools until the age of 13.

Central r. r. i'm the capacity as news
Roy. 1t is claimed by some that, when
he had become satisfied that his pro-
fession as news boy was not such as
he would care to pursue through life,
he sold the same to the Chisholm
Bros, under which management the
business is still carried on. In 1859 he
obtained position as fireman and has
passed the remainder of his life in diff
ferent capacities of locomotive re-
sponSibilitfes. After being promoted
to the position of locomotive engineer,
three years later. he held the same
for a period of Il years. His ability
as a prudent and conscientious en-
gineer was recognized, and his last
promotion occurred in 1898. when he
VAS made travelling engineer of this
division of the Maine Central. Had he
had sufficient amount of tcchinal
training. he might in the opinion of
some of his friends. have reached the
summit of the possibilities of the To-
conceive engineer, of this road. the po-
sitiOn Of the superintendent of motive
power.
Mr.. Keith was also highly respected
as a citizen as well as a man of prom
incnce and respect in his profession.
He was a member of the board of al
dermen for five consecutive years. be-
sides holding other public Offices of i'm
EOrtance.
He was member of Watervillc

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Lowell B. Joy, James Cheney. Sher-
man Besse and William Stackpole had
a narrow escape from instant death at
South Berwick, Tuesday. They were
digging a well at the home of Mr.. Joy.
On Saturday last they began blasting
and put in a charge o. dynamite and
made one blast. Since then they had
made several other blasts and, Tues
day, were preparing to blast again in
the same place as the one of Saturday
when the drill struck some unexploded
dynamite and the resulting explosion
seriously injured all four of the men,
who were in the well. The injuries are
mostly about the face and eyes, al
though Cheney is a mass of bruises and
cuts all over his arms and shoulders. 1t
is feared that Besse may lose the sight
of one eye if not both. The physician
has hope that the others will all recov-
err without permanent injury.

A few WORDS.
ABOUT .ToNlcS
Their Value Discussed-When to Take
Tonie-The Kind to. Take and
What to Avoid.

The word "tOnic" covers a multitude
of sins. People In all walks OF life take
tOnics and these tonics range from
whiskey straight down to iron pills.
Those who take their whisky straight
are to be commended for one thing:
namely. their frankness. They cheer
fully admit that they take alcoholic
beverages and do not masquerade be-
hind the innumerable patent medicines
with which the country is flooded and
which are called tonics. The average
"Tonic," Blood Purifier" and "Nerye
Invigorator," contain from II to 90 per
cent. alcohol so that while these medl-
cines (?) seem to make you feel better
for the time being. this is caused en-
tirely by the temporary stimulation OF
the alcohol. The reaction Of such de-
bauch leaves the system weaker than
ever, and If their use is persisted In. q
complete breakdown is bound TO- fol-
low.
A true tonic builds up the tissues.
enriches the blood and improves circu-
lation. In Magee's Emulsion we have
a remedy which contains 1esh-building
and Strengthening materials In a nigh
" concentrated form without a drop Of
alcohol. No temporary artificial stimu-
Iation follows its use. but a steady and
constant invigorating influence is felt
from the first day. .
When you consider that Magee's
Emulsion contains the purest Cod
Liver Oil, in combination with Extract
of Malt. to which rs added Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda, you must
realize that as muscle builder and
nerve strengthened. It would be impos-
sible to devise remedy Of greater
value.
Remember, not a drop of alcohol en-
tiers into Magee's Emulsion. 1t Is

Skowhegan, Me-. April 26-Miss Matilda

who had been missing since Friday. was
found, late Tuesday afternoon, by rela-

Some little children out maying had
passed the barn and saw a woman's hat
