STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT GETTING WELL

If this was the only medicine
advertisement in this newspaper,
we believe you would quickly try
bottle of our Rexall Mucu-Tone.
But you have read the extravagant
claims of so many marvellous medi-
cines thatyou have grown skeptical.
Let us reason with you a mo-
ment.
We say to you positively and
without reservation that we have
never before known a tonic or
catarrh cure to accomplish the re-
suits worked by Mucu-Tone. 1t
is scientific, meritorious, reliable
remedy. We know how it is COM
pounded, and we unhesitatin"ly
give it our endorsement-not only
our endorsement, but our guarantee.
If you try a bottle of Rexall
Mucu-Tone and are not thoroughly
satisfied with it, we will refund
your money promptly, cheerfully
and without any red tape.
Now, we can't afford2to allow
such strong statements to be print
ed in our advertising space unless
ne know NE are right. If we de-
ceived you in this advertisement,
we would lose your confidence and
your trade-and we don't spend
money in advertising for the pur-
pose of losing trade.
SOME OF OUR REASONS.
Let Us give you some of our
reasons for talking SO earnestly
about Rexall Mucu-Tone.
You know that our bodies are
lined with thin, web-like skin
called the mucous membrane. 1t
begins in the nose and mouth and
extends down the throat through
the stomach, intestines and blad-
der. 1t also covers the liver and
kidneys; and in women, the pelvic
organs.
Now this membrane is COM
posed of millions of tiny cells
filled with a fluid called mucous,
which is a sort of lubricant for the
various organs. If few of these
cells should become choked up
and unable to supply this fluid, it
would cause sickness; if most of
them were so affected it would
cause death.
WHAT 1T MEANS TO BE "RUN
DOWN."
This is what causes the state of
i'll health and weakness which ex-
lists when you are run down )"

Fire at Bayside.

The buildings of w. Loring Thomas at
Bayside were burned last Saturday even
ing at $50 O'Clock.
Mr.. Thomas had recently left home for
Baltimore to go as steward of a large
schooner, and Mrs. Thomas was alone.
She was awakened by the fire, and gave
the alarm, but it was too late to save much
from the buildings, A number of hens
were burned.
The loss is estimated at 5000, with in
surance of 81, 100.
This is the second time within few
years that Mr.. Thomas has been burned

INAUGUR RATION.
MAYOR HAGERTHY ASSUMES OF.
FICE FOR FOURTH TERM.
ONLY ONE NEW FACE AROUND THE
TABLE-FEw CHANGES IN CITY
OFFICERS ELECTED.

Mayor A. G. Hagerthy on Monday
morning took the oath of Office as mayor
OF Ellsworth for the fourth term. He has
with him ON the board four of the alder
men who have been with him for the past
two years. There was only one new face
around the board this year, that of the
democratic alderman from ward A.
The ceremony of Inauguration was
brief, and with but few changes to be
made in the officers to be elected, the
meeting was remarkable for the alacrity
with which the business in hand was con-
Quoted.
Mayor Hagerthy made no inaugural adj
dress, simply thanking the people for the
compliment paid the administration by
returning the board to office.

MRS. BEAUREGARD TELLS
EXPERIENCE.

"Ihave taken every catarrh remedy I
ever heard of-have tried each of them
faithfully-in my efforts to get rid of a
bad case of catarrh of the stomach and
intestines which for three years has
made my life miserable, but can
truthfully say that none of them can in
any way compare with Rexall Mucu-
Tone. The others may haveh helped me
somewhat but-Mucu-Tone cured me.
/ did not believe it possible that could
ever again feel as well as have for the
past three weeks. Twenty years have
apparently been taken off my shoulders
and feel SO well l could almost shout
for joy. All pain and all of the nauseat-
ing symptoms have disappeared. Good.
red blood is coursing through my veins
and am as strong as l am happy. All
success to Mucu-Tone.

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1906.

Apparently the day is past when
 the British house of commons can be
 called the finest club in Europe
 because of the gentility and exclu- siveness of it's members. Demo-
 cratic government in England gets
 a boost by the recent vote in the commons of 3S4 to 110 for salaries to members of that body. The amount is only s1,500 a year, but it means that men of small income and those dependent upon the work of their hands for support shall not be debarred from the lawmaking de- partment of the government. Here tofore the representatives of labor unions and some of the members from Ireland have been supported in the house of commons by outside funds. At present there are factory hands, miners, farmers, sailors and skilled mechanics holding seats, and one effect of the salary will be the increase of the class of members who are there solely because the common people of their districts want them there to look out for their interests in the halls of legislation.

First and last the officers of the
 life insurance companies wao took
 the stand during the Armstrong in-
 vestigation incriminated themselves in their testimony. That Is the way
 the truth came out which destroyed one insurance president and led to several indictments as we'll as the
 flight of some high officials to escape the consequences of the exposures. The upshot of this testimony from the inside will be that insurance methods must change for the good Of the public. The insurance witnesses were not shielded by the immunity statutes, and the contention oI Unit ed States Attorney General Moody, which the supreme court sustains, that corporations may not claim im- munity removes one obstruction from the path of the federal officials. The government may now force corpora tions, through their agents, to give discriminating testimony and after ward use the testimony in the courts. A corporation can only break or evade the provisions of the laws through the acts of it's employes. and usually they are the only persons who know the facts in the case. But the officers and employees annot be punished individually for the unlaw- full acts which they have been forced to disclose. If the corporations in- volved in violations of law could not be punished for the unlawful acts of their agents which they had been forced to discIose it would be pTse- ticaIIy impossible for the government to make them obey the law Although the court decision was aimed at two against which the gov erumeut Is proceeding in the tobacco and the paper trust eases. 1t will ap- ply to all combines and corporations.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Much Accomplished by Societies Since Their Founding in the
 Year 1858.

Tn 1853 a woman in Stockbridge, Mass, founded the first village i'm provement society in America.
 Stockbriage was only shabby little town then. with muddy road through it, cemetery full Of weeds. and a bare common, unshaded and trodden.
 In a single year the place was trans formed. Four hundred trees were planted, the road rebuilt, the village made clean and attractive.
 The history of the place is not unique. Wonders, miracles even, have been wrought in out-of-the-way spots In one of the most hopeless in Georgia, a society was formed which began by planting a double row of trees along its central roadway. This is now handsome boulevard.
 The street is curbed with granite. grass has been made to grow and shrubs have been set out everywhere Rural parks. churches draped with vines, and house yards wing with one another in beauty all make the place an Eden With this town as an object lesson no one need despair of even the most forlorn litsle village.
 Hang of Skirt.
 There are two rocks on which wom- en. who might otherwise be we'll dressed, frequently suffer shipwreek; the one is the gaping placket, the other a skirt shorter in front than behind. Both of these, even the most inexpe- rienced of amateur dressmakers can avoid. Make the placket on the side, and fasteh with patent clasps sewn close together.

Through all the years since Nor
 man Coleman of Missouri was first
 appointed to hold the portfolio of
 agriculture, says one writer, the
 amount of money provided for the
 purchase and distribution of rare
 and valuable-seeds" has grown until
 last year third of million dollars
 was made available for this purpose.
 But in all those years the principal
 use to which the money has been put
 has been the purchase of just as
 many cheap seeds as could be se- cured for the money at the disposal of the secretary of agriculture. In- stead of using this fund in the ''pur- chase and distribution of rare and valuable seeds" the secretary has apparently considered his duty per formed when he bought as many seeds of the commonest varieties as he could get for the money. It is U uC lldL ooA4lC NdllaDfC NotTsAG udNC been secured. Sugar bsets from Germany, Kafir corn from Africa, and alfalfas from various parts of the Orient have been introduced into agricultural regions of the country. But the bulk of the money has been expended in the purchase of com- monest varieties of garden seeds, such as cucumber, lettuce, turnips, onions, tomatoes and like garden vegetables, without any benefit what ever to the farmer or to agricultural science. Some years ago President Cleveland returned the agricultural bill to the house with out his approval because he disap- proved of the seed item" Since that time there has been a growing to cut out altogether this useless waste of public funds.

CZAR'S TROUBLES GROW
The Revolt Among Troops of Hapless
Russian Ruler Spreads-Empire
in Dangerous Ferment

Dispatches received In st. Peters,
burg Thursday from Samara state
that two regiments, garrisoning that
important provincial capital, have mu-
tinted and presented series of po-
litical and service demands. The Of
fcers promised to satisfy the service
demands II the mutineers would re-
turn to duty, but the men replied that
they would be satisfied only with COM
pdance with all Of their demands.
The mutineeH command the stu
aticn, and are indulging in excesses.
The situation Is complicated by the
fact that in Samara the revolutionists
are pushing a movement. to proclaim
a republic in case general strike
Is declared, and may seize the pres
ent opportunity to further their aims.
The ferment among tho soldiers and
sailors at Odessa and Sebastopol con-
tinues:
No inkling of the reported rioting
and pillaging at Vladivostok has reach
ed the Russian public, but the militia

graph, would be liable to withhold for
days any news Of such conditions.

the Asiatie Steamship company's
steamer Colonia, which left Vladivos-

in Vladivostok were closed by police
order, and that on June 80 thirty ring

PICKED Up AT SEA.
RaIloonist Was Borne Far from Land
and MiracuIousIy Rescued-voy-
age Breaks Record.

After one of the most remarkable
experiences In the history of aerial
navigation, James K. Allen, the aer-
onaut. who made a balloon ascension
at Providence, r. L., on the 4th OF
July. was brought to port in Boston
Friday night on the fishing schooner
Francis V. Sylvia. Allen was picked
I'D at sea IL miles off Chatham at
7:30 Thursday morning, eighteen and
a half hours after his departure from
Providence.
ALLEN had q narrow escape iron.
death by drowning, the winds that
prevailed Wednesday having blown
his balloon a long distance from shore.
Until news Of his arrival in Boston
became known it had been thought
he had met his death, as 1t was
known that the last time he was
sighted On wednesday evening he was
travelling out to sea.
That Allen is alive is due wholly
to a. fortunate shift Of the wind. When
he made his ascension at Providence
on Wednesday the wind was blowing
a brisk breeze from the southwest.
The aeronaut was carried in his BAL
loon in a northeasterly direction, and
passed over the town Of Attleboro.
He had his balloon under perfect con-
troll at that time, and while In the VI
cinity Of Attleboro he descended
twice. .-
From Attleboro the airship travelled
in the direction of Brockton, and the
last seen Of the aeronaut by observers
on shore was when he passed over
Scituate early in the evening.
At that time the balloon was head
ed straight out to sea. When Thurs
day dawned without any news being
received from Allen and it became
known that the last time he was seen
was when he was headed out to sea,
it was then believed he would never
return.
After Allen passed over Massachu-
setts bay his plight was more peril
Gus. "Wednesday night he was over
Provinctown. At this point Of the voy-
age the wind shifted from southwest
to northeast, and from Provincetown
the balloon sailed down the outer
Cape Cod coast. IA 1880 o'clock the
aeronaut was rescued IL miles on
Chatham by the fishermen of the Syl-
via. The balloon was saved In good
condition, and was brought to Boston
on the schooner.
During his fight Allen covered
total distance of about 200 miles, near
" half of which was over the water.
The point where he was picked up Is
about II miles from Providence in a
direct line.
