Maine Football Championship.

At Orono Saturday, Bowdoiu defeated
the University of Maine 6 to 0. The re-
suit was quite in the way of the unex'
pected. Ii was repetition of football
history, parallel Of Bowdoin's unex-
pected victory over the magnificent team
OF Bates last year. Ii was In a way the
BoWdoin-Maine game Of last fall, re-
versed. IL was a demonstration OF the
fact that football is very uncertain
game and that football forecasts are but
little more than hopeful guesses. Bates,
with team of green men, at the open
ing Of the season, chalked to finish no
better than in third place and not reckon
ed in the same class as the Bates 1905
team, has finished champions of the
State. This game put the garnet In the
coveted place.
Commenting on the game Of Saturday
the Bangor News says;
upon the whole, the result Of Satur-
days game is good for Maine football.
1t gives Bates a long sought and we'll
elrned championship; it restored con-
fldence at Bowdoiu and teaches Maine
several good lessons. The present out
look Is that there'll be fast and better
football than ever, next fall, in the
Maine colleges"

THE HEART CAN'T STAND
RHEUMATIC ACID
POISONING.
To Free and Correct the Blood a
UriC-0 Treatment is Advised.

There is great danger in those sharp,
shooting pains through the chest around the
region Of the heart. 1t means that poison
Gus rheumatic acid are there ready to spring
and grip tightly the muscles controlling the
hearts action. Don't neglect these warn
ings, they are the danger signals. Nature
flashes to you for help. You must neutralize
and drive these dangerous poisons from the
system, or sooner or later they will overcome
you.
The only true way to cure Rheumatism is
to get at it from the inside with UricO. 1t
acts with marvellous swiftness upon the mus
cles, kidneys and blood. Clears out the
sand-like deposits in the muscles, forces the
kidneys to peri rm those duties for which
they were designed and neutralizes the acid
within the blood
Your physician will admit that this is the
only true way to cure Rheumatism perma-
ncntly, and should know that Uric-O is the
one remedy that will do it successfully and
permanently. Uric-O is liquid taken in
ternally, 3 times daily and does not contain
a drop Of alcohol, opium or other dangerous
poisons. 1t is good for Rheumatism in any
form. Scatica, Muscular, lnAamatory and
Artcuar Rheumatism all yield readily to
Uric-O. The store OF Frank w. Buchanan is
the home Of Uric-O in Skowhegan and if you
call on him, he can tell you Of many wonder
full cures that Uric o has made right here in
your own home town. lie sells it for 7sc
and SIoo the bottle or you can obtain trial

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. Tho freshness, the charm, tho
brilllance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
OF It's freshness and the form of It's
fairness.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is nhamed you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Big Sale of Timberlands

The Shawmut Manufacturing Com
pany, successor to the Lawrence, New
hall d Page Company of ohawmut,
has purchased from Elias Thomas
of Portland, tract of limb land of
$50 600 acres on the Dead river.
The purchase price is not made pub
lie A large paper and pulp mill will
soon be constructed at Shawmut by
the company, the land purchase being
made to furnish raw material for the
place, and 1t il believed there is
enough to last many years.
With the building of the big mill
will come the extension of the cleo
trio road from Fairfield to Shawmut,
connecting at Fairfield with the Fair
field & Benton road and the Water
Vile and Fairfield road.
The Lawrence, Newhall & Page
Company built up one of the largest
and most pro porous lumber concerns
in the state, having two big modern
saw mills in Shawmut and owning
much timber land in northern Maine
and running many camps every winter.
In January, 1904 the mill and
most of the other property in Shaw
NUT, including water privilege and
considerable land, were sold to a new
company which was organized uoder
the firm name of the Shawmut Manu-
featuring Company
1t was understood at the time that
1t was the intention of the new con.
Germ to build big pulp and paper
mill at ehawmut, as there is magni
ficent water power there and plenty. of
room near the dam for a plant of al
most any size. The new firm, however,
since the transfer of the prop
erty has been carrying 1t on in much
the same way, in addition to manufac
turing considerable pulp In a mill re-
Gently built. The purchase of such a
large tract of land as the Thomas
holdings ensures a supply of lumber
for huge paper mill for many years
80 the owners of the Shawmut mills
are now in position to go ahead with
construction.
The timber land bought is located
along the shores of Dead river, which
is tributary to the Kennebec, and is
handy" The expenses of cutting and
driving down to the mill will be com
paratively small as the conditions are
very favorable
No definite announcement is made
regarding the size of the plant at Shaw
NUT, except that it will be large one
and capable of ranking with the largest
mills of the state.

Kennebec Journal Up in Vermont
the open season on deer is much shorter
than it is here in Maine, and the total
number OF deer killed there during the
present season was 625. This is l25
more than were killed last year, and 1t is
said that the deer were never so abund-
ant In the Green Mountain state as they
are now. Incidentally, it is worth not
ing that nearly of all this game was
killed by residents of Vermont, as only
20 nonresident sportsmen took ont
licenses to hunt there this fall. More
over, no man was killed there this fall
by mistake for a deer,
