With nearly all medicines put up for sale
through druggists, one has to take the
makers say-so alone as to their curative
value. OF course, such testimony 10 not that
OF disinterested party and accordingly 10
not to be given the same credit - II written
from disinterested motives. DR.. Pferce's
medicines, however, form . striking excep-
ton to this rule. Their claims to the comb
dence of invalids does not rest solely upon
their makers say-so or praise. Their ingred-
tents are matters OF public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle wrapper.
Thus invalid sufferers are taken into DR..
Pierce's full confidence. Scores Of leading
medical men have written enough to fll vol
umes in praise Of the curative value OF the
several ingredients entering into these we'll
known medicines.
Amongst these writers we find such medical
lights as Prof. Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D.. Of
Bennett Medical College, Chicago; Prof. Hale,
of the same city; Prof. John NJ. Scudder, NJ.
D., late Of Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof. John King,
NJ. D.. late of Cincinnati, Ohio; DR.. Grover

equally eminent.

Of government from Augusta to some

The hearing ranking next in Importance
will be that ON the resuhmission Of the
18th amendment. II 20 many other ques-
tions Of grave moment had not forced
themselves upon the attention Of the leg
isiature, this would probably be leading
issue, but a. matter OF fact 1t has been
completely swallowed up in the MALE
strom OF affairs and has hardly been mem
toned in the rotunda or corridors for sew
eral weeks. It has been touched upon in
the committee rooms, in discussing other
matters, but it is far from being the burn
ing question of the day that it was pre-
dicted during the heat Of the last cam
paign.
Wednesday evening another OF the
questions that looked like the real thing
at the opening OF the session will be dis
cussed. 1t is the free pass bill reported
to this legislature by special joint COM
mittee appointed by the leg islature two
ears ago. This question, too, seems to
have been largely lost sight OF in the
shuttle, for at the hearing first assigned
upon it, no one appeared either for or
against it.

Nothing has been definitely decided
shout the contract for the copstruc-
tion Of the Panama canal. Chairman
Shonts, Of the Isthmian canal comm's-
sion, returned to Washington last
week, and expressed himself as
thoroughly in favor of digging the
canal by contract. He also expressed
surprise that Chief Engineer Stevens,
who heretofore has been an advocate
OF the contract method, should have
come out in an interview announcing
that he would resign from his posi-
ton unless the construction was
undertaken by the canal commission
Itself. The whole matter has been
put OF for fortnight while the war
department and the canal commission
investigate the financial standing OF
the Oliver combination Of bidders and
compare their bid with that of the
Macarthur Gillespie people. Back of
the whole matter is fierce fight for
the canal contract, in which some of
the biggest financial interests of the
country are engaged.

The Spring Election.


The republicans and democrats of
Ellsworth have called their caucus 10
nominate officers to be voted for on
March 4Ethe former for Thursday,
Feb. 81; the latter for Wednesday,
Feb. 20.
Although the municipal election is
less than three weeks away, little
interest thus far has been manifested
in the event by either party.
But it must not be supposed that no
thinking is going on, for the fact is
that, important - any spring election
Ia, that Of this spring is unusually 60,
since unusual things are going to hap
pen this year that call for more than
ordinary care in the selection OF cam

No better opportunity was ever Of

opinion, if we mistake not, is just now
more concerned with the character of
the men who are nominated than with

FROM WASHINGTON.

New Pension Service Law-Will Fa.
vorabiy Affect Many Pensioners.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. II Especially :
Possibly the most interesting topic OF re-
cent days here to Maine people has been
the enactment of the service pension law,
to which President Roosevelt has put his
signature, and which becomes operative
forthwith. There are now about 14,OO(
pensioners in Maine, but the new law will
undoubtedly increase that number. Rep
resentative Burleigh, who supported the
law, and who was active in pressing it to q
final vote in the House, said to-day that
one could not estimate accurately how
many soldiers there are in Maine who will
be benefited by its provisions.
The minimum pension of So a month
under the law is for soldiers who are
sixty-two years Of age. Practically all the
Maine survivors OF the Civil war are now
past that age, for the war ended forty-two
years ago, and most of the soldiers then
under arms were close to twenty years old.
As the pensions provided by the new law
are not in addition to pensions now being
paid, it will benefit only the present PEN
sioners who are receiving less than the
new law provides.
Gov. Burleigh has already had quite an
extensive correspondence with veterans
interested in the measure. He tells them
that they should file their applications
forthwith, as the pensions will date from
the time the applications are filed. On the
other hand, applications filed before the
law became effective will be given no con-
sideration at the pension bureau.
There are many ex-soldiers in Maine
who are receiving less than $40 "a month
many who are receiving 50 month, and
they, of course, if past the prescribed
age, can secure pension OF s12 month,
or SIS if they are seventy, and $40 month
il they are seventy-five. But there will
undoubtedly be many applications from
soldiers who have heretofore RETAINED
from applying, because they did not feel
that they could swear to any disabilities
or to disabilities incurred in the military
service.
Some are now receiving larger pensions
than are provided in the new law, and
therefore will not benefit by it. Gov.
Burleigh, as usual, has fam iliarized him
self with all the details Of the new situa-
ton, and is giving the soldiers who write
to him the benefit OF his advice.

Helpsomehow Meeting.


The Helpsomehow society was delight
fully entertained by Miss Ruth Goodwin
at her home last evening. The severe
weather prevented large attendance. but
those who braved the elements and
climbed the hill were amply repaid for
their effort. After q game Of finch, a
suggestive word-hunt furnished much
amusement for the company.
Evidently the culinary art is not lost
art on the top Of Bridge hill, judging
by the refreshments, for they were de-
: iicious and the company showed their
appreciation Of them in the good old
fashioned way. Instrumental music was
finely rendered by Miss Annie Kingsbury.
The gathering broke up little past the
usual hour, the only expressions OF regret
being that there were 80 many kept away
because of the cold.

For several years Congressman Burleigh
introduced bill for an appropriation for
lighthouse and fog-signal at Isle au
Haut in Hancock county. During the
last Congress he was successful in secur-
ing an appropriation OF s14,ooo for that
purpose. In September last the matter OF
title was placed in the hands OF the attor-
ney-general of the United States for in
vestigation. Plans were prepared for the
lighthouse and signal-station in October
and have been approved by the lighthouse
board. 1t is now expected that the title
will be cleared up so that the light and
station may be erected during the present
year.
