TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.
The New Steamer City Of Augusta To
Be Improved as We'll as Repaired.

Tie now steamer City Of Augusta,
whose inaugural on the service which
it is to perform this season was 50
disastrous. arrived in East Boston
Friday and large crew of men in the
McKic Shipbuilding yards were put
to work to repair the damage sustain
ed by he steamer early in the week.
The wheel will be strengthened and
new parts put in ana the hull which
was damaged to some extent will be
repaired.
Upon inspecting the steamer, the Of
fiCHIS of the Eastern Steamship 90,
the owners of the craft, decided that
the space between decks was too low
for the purpose for which the City Of
Augusta is intended. 1t is now plan
ned to raise the upper deck about IS
inches giving more space below for
the reception and storage of freight.
This work will consume several days,
but u very large crew has been put
to work and all possible speed will be
made The steamer will resume travel
between Augusta and Bath AS soon rs
these repairs ana improvements are
completed.
While the City Of Augusta is out
Of commission. one of the small steam
crS operated on the BOothbaY division
will be used to travel between this
city. HnllnWell and Gardiner. the big
outside steamers coming up the Ken
ncber river as far as the latter city,
Today it is expected that the steamer
Damarin will make the trip.

A Word to Candidates in the Journals
Stove Contest.

\ short time only remains ia which
to work for a grand Quaker range
Lots Of people would willingly pay for
arrearaEcS Of three. or six months, or
a years subscription to the Kcnncbec
Journal. il you will take the trouble
To suggest II to their minds. You can
easily ask one taking the Journal to
do this, or to make an advance paw
ment on the paper. This means 20
votes on each dollar so paid into the
Journal office, when the request for
votes accompanies the payment. If
you have not already Canvassed your
field. you will find. it A good way to
rapidly increase the number of votes
in your favor. Some are apt to de-
pend too much on friends simply clip
ping votes from the Journal. This is
well as far as it goes. but a candi-
date is likely TO come out behind un-
less efforts are strenuously put forth
for coupons that come through pay
ment of arrearageS. advance payments,
or for new subscriptions, which count
30 for every dollar. Now is the time to

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as DIR. Pierce's
Eayorite Prescription.
Dr John Fyfe one OF the Editorial Staff
of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HelOnins Dioicd) which
IS one of the chief ingredients of the rFa-
yorite Prescription"
"a remedy which Invariably acts utter
Inc invieorasor s ,.,ra makes f3r normal acr
He continues "in Helonas we have a medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug irfth rhich am
acquainted. In the treatment OF diseases pe-
cular to women 1t Is seldom that a case Is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" DIR. Fyfe further
says: rThe following are among the leading
indications for HeiontaS unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back. with Ieucorrhpa:
atomic weak conditions OF the reproductive
organs OF women. mental depression and ir-
ritability. associated with chronic diseases Of
the reproductive organs OF women. constant
sensation OF heat in the region OF the kid
neys; menorrhagia (1oodingj due TO a weak
ened condition OF the reproductive system;
amenorrhoea suppressed or absent monthly
periods). arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition OF the digestive organs
and anaamic (thin blood) habit: dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part Of the
abdomen"
If more or less OF the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, one OF the leading ingredi-
ents Of which is Unicorn root, or Helonas,
and the medical properties Of which it
most faithfully represents.

ingredient of rFavorite Prescription, y
