The Court Temperance Meeting.

As is usually the case, the court tenn
perance meeting Wednesday evening at
the court house brought out good
audience, not only from this village and
Norway, but from those temporarily in
town to attend court. The meeting was
called to order by Rev. H. A. Clifford of
the South Paris Methodist church.
Judge Hcrrick of Bethel had been ex-
ted to preside, but was unable to be
present by reason of illness, and Hon.
James S. Wright acted as chairman Of
the meeting. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Clifford, and this was followed
by a selection by the Schubert Quar-
tette, which sang three times during the
evening. Remarks were made by Mr..
Wright, Rev. BIS. Rideout Of Norway,
County Commissioner r. L. Taylor OF
Mexico, Rev. e. S. Cotton OF Norway,
w. Il. Eastman of East Sumner, j. B..
Bean, s. P. Maxim and William j.
Wheeler of South Paris, Adelbert Delano
of Canton, County Commissioner Dean
A. Ballard of Fryeburg, Sheriff B. G..
McIntire Of Waterford, Jailer W. l..
Farrar and Rev. n. A. Clifford. Some
of the speeches were brief, but all were
earnest in advocating temperance, and
most of them were emphatic In opposing
submission, or any movement under
whatever name looking toward legaliz-
ing the sale Of liquor. The meeting was
two hours In length, and was kept lively
all the time.

RESULTS IN STOMACH TROUBLES AND
PHYSICAL BREAKDOWN. F. A. sHURT-
LEFT CO. OFFER SIMPLE REMEDY.
The strenuous life of modern times
forces people to rush through their
meals hastily, hurrying from the table In
the mad rush after the almighty dollar.
The result is incomplete digestion, in
flammation of the walls of the stomach,
and lack of secretion of the gastric
juices, ending in chronic stomach trouble
and nervous breakdown.
How much better it would be to eat
more slowly, cure the stomach trouble
with Mi-o-na, and soon regain perfect
health. The headaches, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles, pain after eating,
specks before the eyes, backaches, mel.
ancholy and gloomy foreboding would
be soon overcome and perfect health and
strength would be restored.
Proper treatment of tho weakened
digestive system with Mona will cure
every case of stomach trouble. The re-
suits of this treatment are so astonishing
and so pronounced, that those who have
tried it never fail to appreciate Its value
as healing agent. :,
So reliable Ia Mona in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and troubles
that F. A. Shurtleff & Co. give . signed
guarantee that the remedy will cost
nothing unless 1t cures. Each box OF
Mi.o-na sells for 30 cents, and 10 invalu'
able to anyone who suffers with indiges-
ton, nervousness or weak stomach.

RAY vs.. BISBEE.

Friday morning the trial of William Il.
Ray VS.. Harry Il. Bisbee was begun.
This was an action for personal injuries.
Bisbee runs q saw mill in Sweden, in
which Ray, whose home is in Waterford,
and who is now % years of age, was
formerly employed. On the 5th of June,
1905, while employed running cutting
off saw in this mill, Ray met with an ac-
cident by which his left hand was
mangled 81 that all the fingers and
portion of the palm had to be amputated,
leaving only the thumb and a portion of
the palm. As described by the witnesses,
this saw was rugged 80 that the operator
stands in front, and taking hold of a
brake pulls the saw toward him to make
the cut, then let's go the brake and the
saw returns into the hood. The saw
frame was 30 hung that the weight of it
with nothing attached would carry the
saw out into the table. In order to re-
turn it to the hood rope was attached
to the brake, thence carried over pull
lev, and at the end of the rope was an
iron weight.
At the time of the accident Ray had
Just cut off the scarf end of log to
square it up, and the piece cut off had
dropped into the saw groove in the table.
Ray reached down with his left hand to
pick up this piece, when his hand came
in contact with the saw and was mangled.
It is the contention Of the plaintiff that
the accident was caused by the breaking
of wire by which the pulley over which
the rope ran was fastened to one of the
rafters of the mill. The breaking of this
wire released the saw frame, and allowed
it to drop forward Of its own weight and
bring the saw against Rays hand. It Ii
alleged that the construction was dan
perous, and the wire too small and OF
insufficient strength to hold the weight,
and that 1t was Q matter OF negligence
for which the owner Of the mill was
liable to maintain It in that shape. No
one was with Ray at the time of the &C.
cident, and there was not much direct
evidence as to the way In which the &C.
cident happened, but the broken wire
was produced In evidence.
No evidence was introduced BY the
defence, but the case was argued after
the plaintiffs evidence was In, tho de-

the attention of the guests the early part
of the evening, and light refreshments
were served later. Mr.. and Mrs. Rich

God speed on their journey and recall

Friday was a bad day for grocery
pungs at the Pleasant Street railroad
crossing. During the morning w. ID.
Clark and daughter Rose drove across,
and owing to the quantity of fresh snow
struck little way north OF the planks.
The runners struck the rail, the horse
cleared himself, and both of the Occu-
pants of the pung were thrown out and
somewhat bruised. Before that pung
had been hauled off, about train time, a
grocery pung belonging to N. Dayton
