KENNEBE
EAST VASSALBORO.

In the passing of our old townsman,
James {. Pierce, whose death occurred
on March 10th, VassalborO has lost one
of her most highly esteemed citizens
and kennebec county one of her
staunch men. A man of upright char
acter and sterling integrity his quiet
unassuming life could not but leave a
lasting influence for good on the COM
munity in which he resided. None
could know him intimately and not
count his friendship a choice posses
sion. Firm in his religious convictions
he intruded his belief upon no one. but
in his unobtruSive manner lived out the
principles which governed his life. In
him the needy and the sorrowful ever
found a friend and intelligent adviser
James Chadwick Pierce was the son of
Luther and Lydia Chadwick Pierce
and was born in Windsor, kennebec
county, Dec. 9Th, 1919. His bOyhoOd
was passed upon his fathers farm but
in early life, actuated by desire to be
self supporting. he started out to earn
his living as farm hand for John Davis
then u prominent lumberman of Hal
| lowell. He was soon sent by Mr.. Davis
extensive lumber operations in north
ern Maine. Not long thereafter he be-
came associated with his brother the
late Hon. Stephen F. Pierce of Wind
sor in numbering on Roach River. In
1853 he married Eliza, the only daugh-
ter of Edmund and Annie Bunker Gates
of Vassalboro both of whom were
prominent members Of the Society of
Friends. During the war and in the
years Immediately following in cOmpa-
ny with his brotherinlaw William
Gates he operated the tannery situated
in East VaSSalboro. So successful was
he in this enterprise that he soon came
to be regarded as one of the influential
men of his county. In the winter of
1872 he represented his town in the
party who accompanied President
Grant on his trip to the lumber regions
of Maine. In 1876, Mr.. Pierce retired
from active business, and devoted his
time to cultivating his fertile acres at
East VassalborO, living a quiet happy
life in the midst of his family. His
house ever stood for old time hospital
| ity and it was in his home one saw himat
his best and witnessed the pleasure he
experienced in entertaining his trends.
Although .he had reached an advanced
age the years,sat lightly upon him. His
| form was erect and his bright smile
| and springing step bore witness to the
youth of his heart. Supremacy happy
| in the companionship of his grandchil-
dren, rich in their affection, surrounded
by a devoted family, old age could not
rob him of life's sweetest joys. He is
survived by a wife, one daughter, Mrs.
III. A. Priest; her husband and three
| children. Two sisters. Mrs. Sarah +.
Mosher of China and Miss Lydia Pierce

sympathy of large circle of friends

Suffering of the Army
Before City Was Taken

ST PETERSBURG, March 1.-THE
correspondent of the Russ at Mukden
sent this message on the night before
the fall of the city:
The Russian army is living through
some painful moments. Throughout ten
days Of uneeasing battle. under the fire
of shrapnel guns and amid whirIwinds OF
whistling bullets, our men have scarcely
eaten anything and have slept where
they could. The contest has been one
of endurance and courage The gray
coated soldiers have accomplished mir
acles.
THE enemy also seem to be made Of
steel They we're tired out and had been
two days without food. but Oyama told
his men the end of the slaughter would
soon come. and they fought on. Both
the Russians and Japanese are fighting
heroicaIly The infantry on both sides
fight as If they despise death.
''Mukden sleeps; but restlessly. What
will the morrow bring forth? The night
is full of low murmurs. ALI is anima-
tion in the hospitals. which are full &c
overf1owing, and the means OF wounded
men are heard everywhere.
What will God grant us after this?'

Explosion of Bomb
Result of an Accident

So. PETERSBURG. March 1.-The in
vestigation of the explosion of a bomb
which occurred in the Bristol Hotel last
night shows that 1t happened in the
room of an Englishman named McCul-
lock and was the result OF an accident.
The police believe that McCuIiock was
q socialist and that he was planning an
assassination. The Investigation shows
that the bomb was being filled and ap-
parently dropped to the floor. Mccul-
lock was killed by the discharge and
tour other inmates of the hotel were
injured
McCuliock had been living at the hotel
Tor month and was intending TO leave
today.
The hotel caught fire after the ex-
piosion, but the blaze was extinguished
IN short time. The explosion wrecked
the room IN which it occurred. The
furniture was spliniered and parts
thrown through the window into St.
tsaac's Square.
The Bristol Hotel is located very near
the ofbees of the Council Of States and
the explosion caused great deal of ex-
eitement In the neighborhood.

For Kidney Troubles

Ihe kidneys are the blood filters. They are
operated solely by the inside nerves. The
rsnch which operates ti,ern and regulates
them is called the renal plexus When the
renal plexus Is weak or irregular the kidneys
become cIogged with the very posons they
should throw off. No kidney treatment can
clean them out cure them. and ono stage
leads into another until after while the
kidneys themselves begin to break dow and
dissolve There is only way TO reach
kidney trouble-thst is through the inside
nerves that control them. which Dr. shoep

this nerve Is times s sensitive the pu-
