DON'T sTARvE OR DIET, BUT USE MO

The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists Of rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
OF course it would be foolish for any
one who knows that some foods are posi-
lively harmful and poisonous to continue
eating them, even while following the
Mona treatment, but In ordinary cases
of stomach troubles 1t is not necessary
to starve or diet IL Mi-o.na Is faithfully
used, a tablet before each meal.
This scientific remedy, for the cure OF
stomach troubles, acts upon the whole
digestive system, and strengthens the
organs so that they are able to digest any
food that is eaten without fear OF dis
tress. If you suffer from loss OF appe-
tite, belching of gases, sour taste in the
mouth, furred tongue, severe pains in
the region of the stomach, depression of
spirits, bad dreams, lack of energy, q
stomach cough, offensive breath, head.
aches, back aches, loss OF strength and
weight, you can be assured that these
troubles are all due to imperfect diges-
ton.
Strengthen the stomach by taking q
Mi-o-na tablet before each meal, and soon
you will gain in weight, strength will re-
turn, and your food will give nourish:
ment so that the rich red blood will
carry good health to every part of the
system.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. have so much
confidence in the power Of Mi-o-na to
cure stomach troubles and resulting ills,
that they give a guarantee with every 30
cent box to refund the money unless it
cures.

lmmeQlat6iy aIt6r tuo JUG Dill TRIAL
Lewis Hanson, young man who lives
in the town of Cumberland, was placed
on trial on an indictment charging him
with receiving stolen property. On
Sunday, Oct. 8, the house of Alonzo
Brickett, who lives in Norway on the
road from Norway village to North
Waterford, was entered through win
dow during Mr.. Brickett's absence from
the place for a half-hour in the after
noon, and certain articles, including q
pair of trousers, an overcoat, a pair OF
eye glasses, a jackknife and a cigar holder,
were taken. On the Thursday following
Hanson was arrested at Oxford station
BY Deputy Sheriff Jillson, on charge
not connected with these goods. At the
time of his arrest he wore the Brickett
overcoat, and had in his pockets the
glasses, cigar holder and knife, while
the trousers were in suit case which
he carried.
Hanson was identified by the states
witnesses as having been seen at several
of the fairs, under the name Of Joseph
Lawson, in company with another man
who was known to the fakirs as "Happy
Hooligan," or Happy" and a boy Of
about 10 who was called "TychO."
These three men had been at the North
Waterford fair on the 7th of October,
and on the morning of Sunday, the 9Th,
left that place on foot for Norway.
They were seen on the. road by some Of
the states witnesses at times which
would bring them near the Brickett
place at about the hour when 1t was en-
tered.
| For the defence Hanson himself was
the only witness, and in response to the
questions Of his attorney, Mr.. Wright,
he detailed the circumstances of the
trip from North Waterford to Norway.
According to his statement he separated
on the road from Happy, who said he
was going to look for something to eat.
Happy then started for house, and
Hanson kept on until near Norway,
when he sat down beside the road and
waited long time for Happy, who final
" came up. They were then together
for the next few days, going to Berlin,
N. H., on a freight train Monday night
and coming back Wednesday night. At
Berlin Happy was "broke," and Hanson
bought the overcoat which he wore, pay
ing him fifty cents for 1t. In the pocket
Of the overcoat were the small articles

Friday was divorce day, and after the
arrival of each of the forenoon trains the
path from the station to the court house
was filled with throng of libelants and
their witnesses, in which women largely
predominated.
The divorce hearings ran along
smoothly until the case of Eugene +.
Prescott vs. Fannie b. Prescott was
reached. This>case was contested, Her
rick s. Park appearing for the libelant
and Wright for the libelee. The hear
ing occupied about half day, and prov
ed very spicy. The spectators who were
in attendance were doomed to disap-
pointment. Early in the progress Of the
case there was litter at some OF the
testimony, which drew warning from
the court. Later there was laugh, and
Judge Spear Immediately ordered the
room cleared OF all who did not have
business there. The crowd left, and the
hearing went on quietly.
The parties live In Bethel, and the
evidence disclosed that they have sew

Following this case County Attorney
Barnes went through the criminal docket
and cleaned up all matters which could
be disposed Of. The work on the criini-
nal business covered practically the
whole of nine full days of the term of
court, which is the longest stretch of
criminal business in this court certainly
for many years. There we're seven
criminal trials. One was mol pressed at
the conclusion of the evidence, one re-
suited in acquittal, and five in convic-
ton. One respondent was sentenced to
state prison for life, one to Auburn jail
for one year, three to Auburn Jail for
six months, seven respondents in liquor
cases received sentences including
term in the Oxford County Jail, one
respondent was sentenced to thirty days
in Jail, and little over $1,000 was paid
in fines and costs.
As the term must close last week,
owing to Judge Spear opening court at
Bangor Tuesday of this week, 1t was
impossible to undertake any civil trials
after the criminal docket had been dis
posed of, so the juries were Immediately
excused, and all the civil cases assigned
for this term 60 over-trials enough to
last the court at least two or three weeks
more. This includes the Thompson
Cummings case at Norway, in which
there is much public interest, and which
it was reckoned would require at least
FIVE days. The civil business done at
this term includes two trials, In both of
which there was disagreement of the
jury.

The crowd at the station waiting fol
the down train Thursday forenoon was
entertained by the unusual spectacle oil
a we'll known young druggist who does
business at West Paris squirting up the
track for all he was worth, and bets were
even for while. 1t seems that he go'
to the station just alter tho up train
started. As TIE down train was not vel
in, the up train had to stop aud wait 81
the upper end of the yard. This gave
him possible chance, and up the track
he went on his half-mile run, without
having any time to get into training,
The crowd swarmed out to the edge Of
the platform and on to the track, and
cheered him on. As they watched the
other train came around the bend, bu,
he still had chance. The train came II
and took the siding; and still he had
chance. But he evidently was pumped
out, and as he labored on the last quar-
ter the locomotive Of the up train begar
to belch out rings, the train began tt
move, and alas! the sprinter had Il
climb aboard the other train and iguo
miniously ride back 10 the station.

which were introduced In this case,
while the trousers were in the suit case
which Happy had, and which Hanson
brought back to Oxford with him.
Hanson was sharply cross-examined at
length by County Attorney Barnes, and
many Of his answers were vague and in
definite, while some of the officers were
afterward put on the stand to show that
some of his statements In his testimony
were contradictory to what he told them
at the time of his arrest on the other
matter in October.
After being out about an hour the
jury returned verdict of guilty, and
Hanson was later sentenced to one year
in jail at Auburn.

complaint, Immediately announced his
intention to file motion in arrest of
judgment on substantially the same
ground as his motion to quash. Sub
sequently he withdrew his motion, and
in consideration of the somewhat ques-
tionable legality of the complaint Judge
Spear imposed only fine, which was
500 and costs of S34.S2. This was at
once paid.

Next Monday morning, 1900 boys
and girls Of Tulsa will swing book
straps over their shoulders, gather
up pencil boxes, and wend their way
back to the public schools. They will
range in age from the smallest tot,
scarcely bic enough to carry her
primer and note book to the digni-
fled senior, who will discuss elec-
tives, courses of study and Virgil as
learnedly as the university doctor.
Present indications suggest that the
number to enter will be very much
larger this year than last and that
many of the rooms will not be able
to hold all those who come.
Tulsa has two magnificent build
ings, the high school building being
recognized as by far the best school
building in the Indian Territory, In
this building there will be sixteen
grade teachers. The high school,
with the four teachers and the sup
erintendents. The North Side build
ing will have seven teachers to begin
with, and will probably need an
other before many days.
The material improvement is far
beyond any previous year. Sets of
fine relief maps. four Wooster's pn-
mary reading charts, large amount
of physical apparatus and many new
books for the library, the fine lot of
pictures received through the ladies
clubsiast spring will be put on the
walls, primary materials and other
supplies will be added, Three hun
dred new desks will be installed, and
the high school recitation rooms will
he reseated with arm seats.
The colored school, located in the
northeast part of the city is to be
housed in a new building and will
have two teachers this year, instead
of one, as last year.
There are thirty teachers in the
whole system, and a large number
of these have spent part or all of
the summer in summer schools of
some kind such as universities, state
nOrmals, summer normals or normal
institutes.

TT. SMITH LOST CAR LINE.
Council Refuses to Grant Franchise
to Haskell and Reeves.

Muskogee, Sept. 6.-Messrs c. N.
Haskell and Ira l.. Reeves, who have
been working on an interurban street
ear proposition, the line to enter Fort
Smith, have been turned down by the
city council of that place who refus-
ed to grant them n franchise to enter
the town oevr any street. TT. Smith
papers in their account of the council
meeting show that there was some
thing doing when the question of
granting the franchise came up for
discussion. After the meeting Capt
Reeves stated that he would make no
more efforts to secure the franchise,
being convinced that certain alder
men in the Fort city would not be in
favor of granting him a franchise un-
der which he could construct a line.
The question had been hanging fire
for several months until the last coun-
ell meeting Monday night, when Capt.
Reeves was present and insisted that
the matter be voted on, either yes or
no.
