lures of the Evening.
The coffee party given under the aus
pices of st. Joseph's Catholic society last
Wednesday evening at Hancock hall, was
an interesting and pleasant affair. The
society was unfortunate in the weather,
the storm cutting down the attendance
considerably. n
The entertainment opened with min
strel show by the Ogalallah club OF
Bangor. This part OF the programme
was not up to the standard which
Bangor performers have set here in the
past. The first real enthusiasm Of the eve
ming was aroused by the dancing Of Ralph
Cayting as an encore after his song, AEv-
cry Little Bit Helps" The song, "No-
body" by F. o. Morrill,, was the best bit
of minstrelsy of the evening. The cho-
ruses were good.
The tableaux and illustrated songs in
the second part of the programme were
the best part Of the entertainment. The
tableaux were artistically arranged, and
presented beautiful pictures. The duet by
Mrs. Walsh and Mr.. Halpin was well rem
dered. Mrs. Walsh was in good voice,
and her singing of 'sThe Wearing of the
Green" was one Of the hits OF the evening.
The programme follows:

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.


The annual report Of the town of Eden
was issued Thursday OF last week. The
report contains 1877 pages, including the
warrant Of ninety-four articles for the
annual town meeting on March 5. The
report shows that the Indebtedness OF the
town has been decreased since Feb. /, 1905,
S5, 700.57. The total expenditures for the
year were $141, 106.1. The local campaign
had been rather dull up to this time, but
the report offered many issues, and these
were seized eagerly by candidates and cit
liens alike and made the bases of many
an argument. The meeting on March
will start off with a contest for moderator.
There are two candidates, B. E. Whitney
and Julien Emery.
The greatest interest, rs usual, centres
about the election Of the board of select
men. For first selectman there are two
candidates, John E. Bunker, jr, and B. 8.
Higgins. John Suminsby has had no
opposition for reelection as second Sc
lectman up to few days ago, when E. T.
Hamor announced himself as candidate.
Frank E. Walls is up for reelection as
third, and has no opponent as yet.
Charles F. Paine, who has served a num-
Der of years as town treasurer, is a candi-
date for reelection and has no opposition.
Mr.. Paine is also candidate for overseer
of the poor. w. H. Sherman is the un-
opposed candidate for town clerk.
Ansel B. Leland and Willard Hamor are
in the field for the office of road commits
sioner for the eastern part of the town,
and E. H. Higgins is up for reelection as
the town.
II. E. Wakefield, whose term as mem
Der of the school board expires in March
is again q candidate.

The three masted schooner John A.
Beckerman, hailing from Boston but
partly owned in Deer Isle, was run down
and sunk by a Norfolk and Washington
steamer in Hampton Roads last night.
The steamer, which struck the Becker
man full astern, hove alongside and res
cued Capt. Matthewson and his crew oil
seven men. The rescued men were landed
at Old Point. A blizzard was raging at
the time of the accident.
The Beckerman was laden with 918 tons
of coal from Lamberts Point to New

In thinking about an advertise
ment for to-day, we decided we
would use our space for Short
Talk on Patent Medicines" and
it is likely we will tell some plain
truths before we finish.
Just at, this time of year the
newspapers are filled with adver-
tisements of catarrh cures of
one kind and another. In all
probability, all of them can be
found on sale at our store. As
leading druggists we endeavor to
keep every remedy our customers
want, and to allow no one to
undersell us.
But we cannot guarantee these
various remedies.
They may be meritorious. As
to that we cannot say. We buy
them from the manufacturers, and
we would not sell them if we
thought they were in any way in
furious.
One catarrh cure we know all
about, and one catarrh cure we
back up with our reputation as
druggists and with our solid, bona
fide guarantee.
That is Rexall Mucu-Tone.
We know how Rexall Mucu-
Tone is made. We know what
medicines are used in compound
ing it, and the scrupulous care
with which it is manufactured.
We know that it is an honest,
meritorious remedy that has cured
thousands of chronic sufferers from
every form of catarrh.
The very .Jfrst dose Of Mucu- Tone
mill brace you up, will give you
new strength and hope, will con-
vince you that at last you have
found a medicine that goes right
to the spot and does the work
for which it is intended.
And with each succeeding dose
you will feel better and better,
stronger and stronger.
You will regain your appetite,
will find yourself eating heartily
and will feel the food is doing you
good.
You will note an increase of
blood-your hands and feet will
be warm instead of, cold and
clammy; your nerves will become
steady; you will sleep soundly

Monday evening the Bar Harbor Y. M.
G. A. basket ball team defeated the fast
Taconnet club team of Waterville in five
game by the score Of 81 to 0. The Tacon-

OF the very strongest fves in the State,
and they were surprised lot of players
when the game was over Monday night,
as they had expected rather easy prop
osition here. 1t was the first time the
visiting team had ever been shut out, and
that made the defeat all the harder to
bear. But they were up against the real
thing and discovered the fact before the
end OF the first half was reached. Bar
Harbor gave them good licking in the
first half and proceeded to rub it in in the
second.
