Library at Good Will Dedicated.

The Carnegie library building at
Good VIII Farm was dedicated Wed
nesday with fitting ceremonies. Many
prominent educators were in attend
ance. The exercises were opened at
1890 a. m, in the Moody Memorial
Chapel.
The report of the committee was
made and the keys presented by
Judge Nathaniel Hobbs, and they
were accepted, in behalf of the Good
Will Home Association, by the Hon.
L. l.. Walton of Skowhegan. The de-
dicatory address was delivered by
Prof. Henry L. Chapman of Bowdoin
College. The dedicatory prayer was
offered by President Charles Lincoln
White of Colby College. The music
for the occasion was furnished by a
choir of Good Will boys and girls.
The amount of the cost of the build
ing, $4,000, was given by Andrew
Carnegie on condition that an addi-
tional $4,000 for library purposes be
raised. The additional $4,000 is in
two funds, one of $40, 900 the interest
of which is to be used annually in the
purchase of books; the income of the
other $4,000 is to be used for the ex-
pense of the building, repairs, etc.

THE SIMPLE REMEDY
THAT EFFECTS THE CURE

Professor Blanchard of the French Academy
of Medicine has spent great amount OF time
studying that dread disease appendicitis. In
company with Professor Metchui off, he has
carefully examined numerous cases, and both
have reached the conclusion that the cure is not
the knife In more than forty cases the symp-
toms of Appendicitis disappeared after the
patients had been trea ted for worms.
There are, no doubt, many persons suffering
from worms who are enormously attributing
their trouble to some other cause. few doses
OF Dr. True's Elixir are sufficient in most cases
for the complete expulsion of the worms.
The presence of these parasites is easily recog.
nized by the following symptoms -Iudigestion
foul tongue; offensive breath variable appetite;
hard aud full belly with occasional gripings and
pains about the navel; heavy. dull eyes; itching
of the nose; short dry cough; grinding of the
teeth; starting during sleep; slow aud frequent
fever in children-convulsion and bed wettiug
DR.. True's Elixir will not only expel the
worms but will build up the whole system as
we'll.

NINETY LOSE LIFE
In Flame-Whelnled Copper Pit in Mexico.
Only Seventeen Men Out Of Gang
of 107 Escape.

According to a dispatch which was
received in Mexico City from the city
Of Torreon, Coahuila, at a late hour
Sunday might ninety lives were lost
in fire which occurred III the Cor
nethas shaft OF the Terneras group
Of mines in the town OF Velardena,
state OF Dusnago.
The fire started early Friday night
in an abandoned shaft At the time
there were 107 men working in an
other part of the mine and from what
can be learned at this time but seven
teen of them escaped Thirty-fve
bodies have been recovered according
to latest reports received from the
scene of disaster, but as the fire is
still raging, 1t is feared that few
others imprisoned will be found
The origin Of the FIRE is supposed to
have been due to the carelessness OF
miner who was smoking a cigar
cite in an abandoned shaft, through
which he was passing. This section
Of the mine, it is said, was exceeding
ly dry and it is believed that the man
in throwing away his half-burned
cigarette allowed it to drop into
bunch of oiled waste. A blaze imme-
diately resulted and this quickly con
veyed itself to the adjoining timber.
The fire had gained great Roadway
before it was discovered by the men
in the near vicinity They found that
all avenues Of escape to the surface
had been cut off Seventeen, how
ever, who were in a good position,
made dash and reached the outer
air.
Rescuing parties have been working
heroically, but only charred and I'M
recognizable remains have thus far re-
warded their efforts.
The shaft in which the fire is still
raging and is said to be beyond con-
troll is Of a mine which is a group
Of the largest copper producing mines
in the northern section of Mexico
The Guggenheim interests are said to
own the property Owing to the re-
moteness OF. the region it has been
difficult to receive details of the catas
