Have Railroad Commissioners De-

cided fin Favor of Trolley Co.
 It was stated today on excellent authority that the railroad commis- sioners had decided in favor of the trolley company in the contention re garling the Robbins street question, ordering the city to proceed to lay out the street with seven foot cut at Grandview avenue. The city oifi- cials have not yet been informed of such a thing. so that nobody knows what action will he taken fin case such an order has been issued. al- though 1t appears 10 be generally un- derstood that an appeal will be taken and the matter fought out in the courts.
 The trolley people take the ground that the commissioners have the right to pass an order requiring the city to lay out a street to any grade they please. but the city attorney and the mayor are said to have some doubts about this, so that in all probability the courts will be asked to make a ruling on 1t before either party will give in.

How to have the brightness of sunshine after the night has come has been a puzzle for the solution of which men have studied for years seemingly fruitlessly, but the makers of the ANGLE LAMP claim to have discovered the secret and assert without hesitation that their lamp vies with the sun in brilliancy.

Our Friend, the Red Bird.

The editor of the RepOrter4Star,
writes very strongly in favor of the
Red bird, not bit too strongly, for
we endorse all that he says, and would
add that other places besides Orlando
would do well to encourage this beau
tiful bird to make its home in their
midst. 1t is against the law to kill
Red birds, but it should also be made
a criminal offence to mOlest their nests
Or to have them in cages.
A number of the towns in the cOun-
try have certain things of local attrac-
ton by which they lay great store 1t
may be some historical relic or some
great building, or famous river; it
may be mountains, lakes, streets,
shade trees. Possibly, as in certain
Florida towns, it may be collection
of alligatOrs, or Ostriches or possibly,
the fact that squirrels are given the
freedom of the town unmOlested or
that birds of rare plumage or of song
find Judgement in the shade trees of
the place.

A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hOl, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
a medicine is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print it's
formula on every bOttle-wrapper and at
test its completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to wOman's delicate constitution by an
educated physician-ane experienced spe-
cialist in wOman'S diseases; remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emil
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; remedy which has
more bOnd-t tide cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of rtrial bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at a fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, mas melanchOlla,
or "blues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of Dr.
Pierce'S Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as a substitute for a medi-
cine like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has a record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit.
DR.. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
Sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned in plain sealed envelope. Address:

Frauds in Food.

1t is not the agricultural press only
that is taking an interest in the pure
food law, but some of the political
papers are also speaking out on the
subject. The following is from the
Cleveland Leader:
The scandal of scandals in Congress,
from the point of view of simple hon
esty, is the delay in enacting a thor
ough and drastic pure food law. The
only real issue is fraud If there were
no swindling i'm food there would be
no opposition to the Hepburn bill
the House substitute for the measure
which, after long delay and much
hesitation, was worried through the
Senate
1t is not proposed that any man
shall be denied privilege, if he so
esteems it, of buying unwholesome,
unfit, ''dOctOred' food. 1t is not sug-
gested that the sale of such stuff shall
be forbidden. All that is demanded
is that fraud shall stOp-that is to
say, that everything sold for human
food shall be what it purports to be,
only that, nothing more or less.
What decent objection is possible
to such legislation? What justifica-
ton can be attempted for shameless
and shameful frauds in food? If
cheating is to be condOned anywhere
the last place ought to be traffic in
the food upon which the sick as we'll
as the strong, the young and the aged
as well as men and women in the
prime of life, must depend for nOur-
ishment.
The delays in pure food legislation
are a daily, hourly reproach to Con
gress. Through Congress the country
is disgraced. 1t is poor government
that cannot protect its citizens against
wholesale fraud in food

mand it. | wrote to ours from this
state, and two of the four replied that
my letter was one of the very few
received in favor of the measure
while on the contrary they were flood
ed with opposing letters This makes
it plain that the comparative handful
in the opposition are organized and at
work.
The millions of farmers are not Or
Sanized and not at work If every
farmer would write his member of
congress, we would get the parcels
post and get it now. Sometimes /
think we farmers don't deserve much
because we will not cooperate and
demand what we are entitled to.
If the people could be polled on the
bill, nine-tenths would be in favor of
straight out measure One congress
man wrote that there would be danger
of running the small merchants ont
OF business and that then the large
stores would combine. Now, combine
is word that throws the average
farmer into fits, but its the combine
that is fighting us now. The small
country store is here to stay. and we
want it to stay, but the farmer. as
well as Mr.. Cityman, wants MANY

Paws Plaintiff $500.

In the Supreme Court, at Augusta,
Monday, Associate Justice William Penn
Whitehouse of Augusta presiding, was
begun the personal damage action of
Alfred d. Baker, through his father.
Peter Baker of Fairfield versus the
WaterVille & Fairfield Railway & Light
Company. The ad damnum is placed at
$4,000
The evidence on the part of the
plaintiff showed that on February 5,
1905, the plaintiff, who was at that time
between 10 and II years of age, was
walking or creeping on the roof Of the
Lincoln school building In the town of
Fairfield when he came in contact with
a wire owned by the defe ndant, receiv
ed an electric shock
The plaintiffs hands were burned and
lacerated and 1t was necessary to ampu-
tate the second and third fingers of the
left hand, and the muscles, nerves and
ligaments were 80 injured that the
thumb and remaining fingers of the
hand were rendered useless
The plaintiff commended that he was
in the exercite of due care and that he
received the electric shock because the
defendant neglected to keep it's wires
insulated in a safe and proper manner.
Forrest Goodwin Esq, of Skowhegan
and George G. Weeks, Esq of Fail field
appeared as counsel for the plaintiff,
and Heath G. Andrews of Augusta for
the defendant corporation.
After the evidence on the part of the
plaintiff was presented settlement was

The Senator from Piscatu quIs.

Piscataquis county has but one State
in two years, with such great
wealth of senatorial timber in the
county, 1t follows that the man who
holds down desk No. "a must stand
we'll with the people of this snug little
county.
The Piscataquis senator used to have
desk No. 23-but that's merely a
passing thought.
Hon John Houston of Guilford Ia
the senator elect from Piscataquis, sue
ceedDg Hon. VIM s. Owen of Milo.
Mr. Houston is a fine type of the
Scotcbmen who have done 30 much to
develop the wooden industry Ia Maine
who have been reared in the business
and added to their technical training,
untrng and faithful industry and
thrift, the Yankee hustle and business
ability. There may be men in the next
senate who know more about law, but
the member from Piscataquis can talk
from the book when it comes to the
wooden industry or any straight business
proposition for that matter.
Mr.. Houston was born in Paisley,
Scotland A years ago. When a wee
laddie of five years his parents came
to America, like many others of their
countrymen with ambitions to better
their condition.
They settled in Troy, N. 7 where
Johnnie went to the public schools
later coming to Bridgton In this state.
The son went into wooden mills as
soon as he was old enough literally
growing up in the business. After
being employed in the mills in Skowhe-
gan and in Manchester, n. H.. he
came to Guilford in 1885 as one of the
overseers for the Piscataquis Woelen
Co. In 1893 be became an owner and
has been superintendent and manager
since 1901,
He Is one of the prime movers of the
NJ. l.. Hussey Wooden Co., aud a di-
rector also a director of the Guilford
Mfg. Co.
While MIR. Houston has always taken
an interest in town and county politics
and staunch Republican, he was
never consented to be a candidate for
Office until he decided to accept the
nomination for the seat, from the
ground as it were
Mr. Houston is a 32d degree Mason,
has crossed the hot sands to the Mystic
Shrine, is an Odd Fellow and Knight
of Phythias.
Mr. Houston is one of the most
popular men in Pisoataquis, making
hosts of trends by his kind and genial
disposition. He prides himself on
being one of the common people and
his humblest employe receives as
courteous and cousderate treatment as
his most Influential business associate
His election was popular with the PEG
pie, irrespective of party.

Judging from the verdict of smokers
the company has fulfilled it's promise
to supply the citizens of Skowhegan
with high grade cigars at prices hereto

operation long enough to prove that ii
has set high standard of cigar quality
and at the same time reduced prices.
The stand itself continues to attract
attention because of its unusual ap-
pointments. Purely as an attractive
display of cigars it excites comment
among smokers and non-smokers
alike But it's practical use as pre-
server of cigars is Of course its man
