Business was again listless the Stock and
Bond Exchange yesterday and there was no
marked fuctuation In anything. Several OF the
sugar stocks were weaker and there was some
irreguarity in the water stocks. Associated

lower bids for Alaska Packers and Telephone

dividend were: Bank OF California, 81 and

The only noteworthy change in Dairy Produce
was fractional advance IN California fresh
selected Eggs, which sold up 89c on the
Exchange, thereby verifying the views of those
dealers who were holding firm the preceding
day in anticipation OF higher market. The
lower grades Of fresh stock cleaned up readily
at stif prices and the run on Eastern and stor-
age goods continued unchecked.
The Butter market remained very firm at un-
altered quotations. with all handlers reporting
an actual shortage of fancy fresh creamery
freely and there was an active demand among
bakers for all kinds Of packing stock.
There was nothing to report In Cheese.

G. 4. PARCAER'S TEST.
Sold Hyomei for Years and Knows 1t
Will Cure Catarrh.

Sold Hyomei for Years and Knows 1t
Will Cure Catarrh.
G. \. Parcher has given Hyomei a
most thorough and remarkable test.
For long time he has offered to Ie-
fund the money to any purchaser of
Hyomei, if it failed to benefit.
The remedy has made so m my cures
among his customers that he has
urged its use in the most chronic cases
of catarrh.
Breathed for a few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes the
irritated mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs. kills the ca
tarrlal germs, and restores complete
health.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81, and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the pocket or
purse, and will last lifetime, a med
icine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei.
If this is not sufficient for a complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists, and
remember. too. if Hyomei does not
cure, G. A. Parcher will return your
money.

who has thus far announced himself 10
Robert B. Holmes, of Ellsworth. Mr..
Holmes has been lifelong resident
here. ia a we'll trained business man,
and is we'll known throughout the
county. He has always been
staunch republican, and has rendered
valiant service to the party in many
hard fought campaign. He has never
held, and up to now has never sought,
public office.
In all these offices, as we have said,
the people of Hancock county have
seen the wisdom Of holding good men,
and there certainly has been nothing
in the record of either of the incum-
bents who are candidates for renomi-
nation to warrant a deviation from
this rule.
The other county office to be lied
at this years election is that of county
commissioner. Nahum Hinckiey,
whose term expires, will have coin-
pleted his second term with this year.
He will be candidate for renomina-
ton at the next republican county
convention. Mr.. Hinckley has brought
to this Office a wide business exper-
fence, sound judgment and pains
taking care for the interests of the
people of the county. The only thing
that can be urged against him is that
he has already served the customary
two terms. Among candidates who
have been mentioned as in the field
for the nomination for this Office are
@. o. Page, of Bucksport, and A. II.
Whitmore, of Verona.

The alleged champion Of the work
ing man, Incorporating under the
name of the Democrat, seems to think
it reprehensible for the city to spend
s12. 900 on the highways, sidewalks,
sewers and bridges, when the appro-
priation was only $4,000. Well, the
city got value received, and the men
who did The work wouldn't have had
it to do except for the vigorous collec-
ton of back taxes. We doubt IL
these workmen would prefer to lie
idle in order that the amount of
uncollected taxes might be kept up to
the high mark set by the democrats.

County Officers.

1t has long been the policy OF Han
cock county, as it has of the State, to
retain men of proved capacity in
office. There are exceptions to this
general rule, as in the case Of county
attorney, where the precedent Of two
terms in succession has been estab.
lished. The reason for this exception
is obvious-the county attorneyship
has long been accorded to the younger
members of the bar, who could not
afford to continue in the Office without
sacrifice of their personal interests.
The wisdom of continuing in Office
men of experience needs no demon
stration. Experience is an asset Of
no mean value in man selected for
any public or business capacity. It is
particularly valuable in certain OF the
county offices, among them those Of
Judge of probate, register of probate,
clerk of courts, register of deeds aud
county treasurer.
The Office of judge Of probate re-
quires man of sound judicial mind,
we'll versed in the probate laws on
which the interest of widows and or
phans 30 often depends. The Office is
one which should be kept OUTSIDE the
pale of politics.
In no one OF the county offices, per-
haps, is experience and special adapt
ability for the duties more essential
than in that of clerk of courts. In
this off vast amount of legal and
clerical detail is necessary, and system
of the incest adjustment must prevail
Tue Office of county treasurer is one
which requires accurate book keeping
and careful accounting of the puolic
