SILVER SERVICE TO Be
PRESENTED At NORFOLK
Letter From Governor Swanson
TO Senator Holt Gives
Notice Of Change.
MAYOR IS GREATLY SURPRISED
Assurance Had Been Given That
Ceremonies Would Take Place
Here and No lntimation of
Change Had Been Received
Another Effort to Be Made.

1t seems that after all the Virgin
la silver service is to be presented
to the battleship Virginia at the
Norfolk navy yard instead of at this
city Governor Swanson some time
ago assured Mayor Buxton that the
presentation ceremonies should take
place here and it was regarded as
settled that the ship would be sent
here on December 10 Ior Lie pur-
pose. Since the collision with the
Ole Dominion steamer Monroe tho
battleship has been at the navy
yard for repairs and it appears that
the navy department has no inten-
tion of having her make the trip
over here to receive the States
present.
Letter From Governor.

vice commission, yesterday received

Take Time
To Eat.

HURRY AT MEALS WILL SEND YOU TO
F. A. sHURTLEFF CO. FOR MONA
STOMACH TABLETS.
EAT in haste and repent at leisure" Is
an old saying brought up to date.
Hurry at breakfast means bad start
for the day, and fyou hurry also at the
other meals, you will soon suffer with
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, furred tongue, specks before the
eyes, headaches, back-aches, weakness
and debility, indigestion or other ills
that are caused by an abused stomach.
Here In Paris, as in thousands OF other
places over the country, hurry at meals
increases the druggists business. Not q
day passes that r. A. Shurtleff & Co. do
not sell several packages OF Mona
stomach tablets to those who have ruined
their digestion by not taking time to eat.
Of course indigestion has many other
causes, but whatever the cause, the rem
edy Is the same, Mona. It cures any
acidity there may be, increases the How
Of the gastric juices, and actually gives
strength and tone to the whole digestive
system, 30 that you can soon eat anything
at any time without fear Of indigestion.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. have seen so many
cures made by Mona that they sell II
under an absolute guarantee that 1t Will
be successful In every case where IT ia
used In accordance with directions, that
Is, one tablet before each meal, and will
refund the money to anyone whom II
does not help. A large box OF Mi-o.na
tablets costs but 80 cents 1t 1t cures;
nothing II It falls.

Base Ball.

p. H. $. o; NORWAY HIGH SCHOOL 2.
Paris High School and Norway High
School met at the fair grounds Saturday
forenoon and played the first game they
have played together for the past two
years. Despite the drizzling rain that
fell nearly all through the contest Paris
put ND a nice game and won easily. Paris
made one more change in their team and
PLAYED Francis Shaw in the center field.
Although small he is without doubt the
best man they have had in that position.
Professor Clason played with Paris for
the first time this season and pitched a
nice game. Without exerting himself
he struck out six men, gave only one
pass to first and allowed Norway but
four hits, no two of which came in the
same inning.
Bickford, who pitched for Norway,
was very wild the first of the game, Civ
ing five passes, three of which resulted
in runs, in the first two innings. After
that he steadied down and pitched fair
game, but the support he received was
rather discouraging.
The work of the two catchers, FOss for
Norway and g. Clark for Paris, was fine
and after their throwing arms had been
tested in the opening innings, both teams
gave up trying to steal bases.
The improvement in the Paris team in
the last week was very marked, and they
should be able to give Mechanic Falls a
hard game when they play at the high
school grounds next Saturday.
Following is the score:

Rebuilding south Paris Industries.
ALL WILL BE RErTER THAN BEFORE,
AND WITH A CHANCE FOR MORE.

There is certainly now no doubt Of the
Mason Manufacturing Co. rebuilding its
plant, or rather, building new plant,
at South Paris. Matters have moved
quite fast during the past week. A lot
for the plant was selected and staked
out early in the week, and price was
made on it and accepted.
The lot is on land of Mrs. Louise j.
Briggs, next the railroad on the south
side of Pine Street. 1t does not front on
Pine Street, one hundred feet back from
the street being reserved, and a right Of
way to the factory lot being given on
each side of the lot. The lot is about
twenty rods wide, and extends back near
ly to the river, comprising about seven
acres of practically level land, with its
long dimension along the railroad.
Work was begun at once, with good
crew of men and teams, taking of the
growth, which is mostly small pines, and
digging out the roots. Good progress
has been made, and the appearance of
the lot has been already considerably
changed.
On this lot q modern manufacturing
plant is planned by the Mason Manu-
featuring Co. There will be machinery
building 30 Z $50 feet, three stories; a
paint shop 90 80, two stories; store
house go < $50, one story. The boiler
capacity will be 300 horse power, with
an engine of $50 horse power. The plant
will be protected by automatic sprinklers
and fire pump.
One need only glance at these figures
to know that the plant thus planned is
much larger than the one which was
burned, and one which will mean the
employment of an increased force of
workmen.
The company has purchased lumber
mill at Groveton, N. H., which has been
for two years, and will use both
mill and machinery in the work of con-
structing its new plant here. As time
is especially valuable to the company at
this season, it is hardly necessary to say
that the building work will be rushed as
fast as possible.
At the mill of S. P. Maxim & Son, the
frame for the new building is we'll
along. The building will be one story
less in height than before, but is larger
on the ground, so as to give about the
same floor space as before.
The True tenement house and lot has
been purchased by A. E. Shurtlef as the
fire left it, and he will proceed at once to
build it over into grain mill. The roof
and portion of the walls are gone, but
a large part of the frame is good, as we'll
as much of the floors. Mr.. Shurtleff has
already purchased fifteen horse power
motor and other machinery for use in
the mill. A crew began work on the
Monday morning.
Nothing has materialized as yet re-
garding the further use of the grist mill
lot and water privilege, so that the water
power and lot are still available for adj
ditiOnal business.
South Paris may we'll congratulate it.
self on its prompt recovery from a fire
now only a little more than two weeks
past, and its bright prospects of increas-
ed business

This Years Valuation and Tax.

The assessors of Paris last week finish
ed the assessment of the tax for 1906,
and committed it to Alfred Fl. jackson,
collector. Some facts regarding the
assessment are of interest.
The total valuation of the town is
81, 1851 900, an increase over last year OF
S16,37O. The valuation of live stock in
creased s9,560 from last year, making
this years total S109,479. There were
some losses in valuation, including
Mann's Mill at West Paris, which was
burned, and about $4,000 in bank stock.
Most of the bank stock loss was caused
by the sale of the Rumford Falls Ma
tional Bank stock, of which 157 shares
were held in town last year, and only "a
shares this year.
There are 907 polls taxed, against 925
last year. Poll tax $500, as usual. The
total tax committed is S27,2l9.36, which
is sS4S. 26 more than last year. The rate
is Is mills, an increase of one-half mill
over last year.
OF dogs the assessors found more than
ever before, 23S, of which number 20
are females.

Fire at East Waterford.
RoLFE's STORE, POST OFFICE, AND TENE-
MENT DESTROYED.
EAST WATERFORD, May 4.

EAST WATERFORD, May a.
This morning at about 1880 O'Clock
the building owned by Philip Fl. Rolfe
was burned to the ground. The store,
post office and rooms used by Mr.. Rolfe
and family occupied the lower floor,
while the upper floor was rented to Ber-
pard Richardson. Considerable was
saved from the lower floor, but not much
from Mr.. Richardson's rent.
The telephone called out large crew
who saved the surrounding buildings
and lumber, and prevented the spreading
of the fire, which caught in the nearby
woods. The paint on the front Of Henry
Rolfe's house was blistered,
The pay station of the Bolster's Mills
Telephone and Telegraph Co. was in the
store.
The fire caught upstairs near the
chimney which it is supposed was de-
fective.
Mr.. Role was intending to move to
Appleton soon, and Joseph Patterson
had hired the store and bargained for the
goods, but the writings were not done.

SPRING CATARRH.
F. A. sHUBTLEFF & co. SELL HYoMEI
urnrp nrrApANrEr M cJRE.

r. A. sHUBTLEFF & co. SELL HY0MEI
UNDER GUARANTEE OF CURE.
The changeable weather Of Spring is
directly responsible for the prevalence Of
catarrhal troubles In Paris ct the present
time.
As result, F. A. Shurtleff & Co. have
had larger sale for Hyomei the past
week than ever before In the years that
they have handled this reliable treat
ment for the cure of catarrh.
Unlike the ordinary remedies that have
been used in catarrhal troubles, there is
no stomach dosing with Hyomei. It is
breathed through neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and Its bal
ssmic, antiseptic healing penetrates to
the most remote cells of the nose, throat
and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
healing the irritated mucous membrane,
and effecting complete and permanent
cure.
If there Is single catarrhal germ in
tue system, Hyomei will search 1t out
and absolutely destroy 1t, completely
eradicating the trouble. The remedy has
made 80 many cures among F. A. Shurt-
left & Co. s. customers that they offer to
pay for 1t themselves II it does not benefit
even the worst case Of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81, con-
sisting of an inhaler, medicine dropper,
and bottle OF Hyomei, while extra bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for so
cents. There will not be even this small
expense If HyOmei does not cure, as F.
A. Shurtleff & Co. will return your
money.
