sToRk DRIVES FATHER MAD.
Leaves Home and Acts Strangely
Whenever Child Is Born to Wife.

Portland. Me.-A case that puzzles
not only his family and townsmen, but
the physician, is that of William d.
Trescarten, of Limestone, Aroostock
county, who acts strangely and then
disappears from his home either just
before or every time his wife gives
birth to child.
The Portland police were asked to
look for Trescarten, who left his home
a few days ago just previous to the
birth of his fourth child.
Grand Chancellor Willis B. Hall, of
the knights of Pythias, of which or
ganization Trescarten is a prominent
member, has notified the members all
over New England to be on the look
out for their brother. Although under
ordinary circumstances a clear-headed.
weIl-balanced business man, Trescar-
ten seems to change his personality
entirely as soon as or just before the
stork comes.

surrounding country. They took
options on majority of the stock of
the Iron River Water, Light and
Power Co., the Iron River bank and
on the land holdings of Pettinyill &
Hessey. They represent number
of Iowa capitalists, and while they
do not divulge all about their plans
as yer, they said that shoald the
deal 60 through as they expected it
would, holding company with
sufficient capital would be organized
to take over ali these desirable
properties.
A gentleman by the name of Viii
son from the Red RIVER valley
country OF Minnesota, was in the
city last Friday looking over the
farming country. Mr.. Wilson at
tended the Farmers ASSOCIATION
meeting at Washburn and informed
the Pioneer that he has about closed
deal for the purchase of a tract OF
land near the county seat. He said
that from ali the information he
could get this country offered great
er opportunities for.the farmer with
a little capital than even the rich
valley where he has resided for
years, and he proposes to get farm
started in this country just as soon
as he possibly can get around to it.

appearing in this issue, Frank Moore

CT had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were ell broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees.

Instead of going to a physician, 1 purchased complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which l had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti- cslra Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It IS now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of return. have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each.
 "I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies a trial after I had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good. Sothey procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them.

Expulsion of Mgr. MOntaguInl Causes
 More Thaa AstOnishment.
 Rome, Dec 1.-The expulsion from France of Monsignor Montagnini, Secre- tary of the Papal Nunciate at Paris, who has represented the Vatican at the French Capital since the recall of the Nuncio, has caused not only astonish- ment, but consternation at the Vatl- can.
 According to Vatican officials this step Is an evident proof that the French gocernment wishes not only to strike at the church as a religious in- stitution, but to represent it as an ene- my of the Republic, and allied with the Republics foes.
 Furthermore. the officials characterize this step as taken fin a spirit of mean ness. as the French government knows tho Vatican cannot, because of It's DO sition, indulge in similar action as a reprisal with the individual who :s looking after French interests in Rome.
 The fact that diplomatic relations between France and the Vatican were ruptured two years ago adds to the difficulty of the Vatican, M Nlcard, the last Ambasodar of France o the Holy See having left Rome in 1904
 Monsignor Montagnini stayed on in Paris after the departure of the Papal Nuncio in order to deal with certam matters pending between France and the church. It is observed here toe night that possibly Monsisnor Montug- mini remained in Paris too long.
 A curious phase of the situation ia that Monsignor Montagnini. being ap Italian subject. any protest agains: his expulsion or tue searching of his house. must be communicated to the French government through the ItaI iau government.
