An Elkwood correspondent writes that
on Saturday of last week the Elkwood
team crossed bats with the famous
Icelandic team from across the line in
Manitoba. The game is reported as hav-
ing been'a battle royal all the way up to
the seventh innings when the Icelandlc
players quit, they being of the opinion
that the umpire had made an unfair
decision. When the game ended in the
seventh neither nine had made any runs
Elkwood had scored 5 hits to the Ice
landers 3, and the score showed that
both had nothing bigger than a goose
egg in the error column. The battery
for Elkwood was Mcbride and Patter-
son. For the Icelanders, Thorson and
Geazler. AS a sample of the national
game it was the best to be seen and
it is to be much regretted that circum-
stances prevented it being played to a
finish.

RHEUMATISM cRAzEs THE MIND
An Internal Blood Treatment Called
Uric-O Is Widely Recommended to
Cure 1t.

Every sufferer from rheumatism
who wants to be rid of the sleepless
nights. the nerve binding, muscle
twisting hours of pain, should get at
once bottle of Uric-O, the marvellous
specific for the cure of rheumatism.
1t matters little how long one has suf-
fered from the trouble nor how in
tense the suffering. Uric-O will cure
it. 1t cures by it's direct action upon
the blood, muscles and kidneys; it
neutralizes the rheumatic acid poison
and drives it from the system. Drug
gists and Physicians everywhere are
recommending Uric-O because they
know that at last there has been a
remedy prepared which actually cures
the trouble and cures it to stay cured.
1t has stood all kinds Of tests and
never been found wanting. Uric-O is
a cure for Rheumatism and for Rheu-
matism only. Mr.. Percy w. Means is
the agent for Uric-O in Augusta and
he would be glad to meet all sufferers
from the disease and explain the act
ion Of Uric-O on all forms of Rheuma-
tism. The Smith Drug Co, Of SYRIA
cuse. n. Y, are the makers of Uric-O,
and will be glad to send any rheumatic
sample Of this marvellous specific on
request. They sometimes send a full
sized bottle to people sending for
samples. Uric-O is also sold in
Gardined by c. H. Beane.

SEC. TAFT NOMINATED
For Presidency of the United States
BY Phi Beta Kappa.

New Haven, CT. March 1S.-The Yale
Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa held it's
121th annual dinner tonight at which
the guests were Secretary of War Will
liam II. Taft, a member of the chap
ter, and Prof. Barrett Wendell Of Har-
ward, both Of whom were among the
speakers. The interesting incident re-
lated to the introduction of Secretary
Taft. Prof Tracy Peck, who gave the
greeting to the initiates of the class of
1906. addressed himself to Secretary
Taft and said in Latin that while he
had been accorded high honors. there
We're still higher honors to come and
if the voice of the people called him to
the highest office in the land he must
accept it as the will of the people.
A little later Prof. VIM. Lyons Phelps,
the POSTMASTER, in presenting Secre-
tary Taft to respond to 1.-THE Test of
High Stand in College Life in
troduced him as the next President of
the United States" saying that while
Mr.. Taft might be tired of being nomi-
mated because those who did the NOM
mating were not the delegates to the
next convention. the Phi Beta Kappa
could not let the opportunity pass with
out adding its voice to the call which
has gone to him at the many dinners
he has attended of late.
Secretary Taft, in a spirit Of humor,
il responding. said that he had been
nominated in Latin. which nomination
had been translated into English BY a
professor of English and he could not
help recalling what professor of an
other kind of English, Speaker Cannon,
had told him at the Gridiron Club
which was: young man, you have am
btion. but don't you know that you
can't be nominated by saints?'
The secretary said that the nominal
ton given him by the Phi Beta Kappa
did not elate him or cause any bees to
buzz.

and individuals a little. Now the
question with me is whether or not
the towns would ever derive any real
benefit from this book. l believe they
would go to the offices of the select
men and be laid away on some SCeif
to be covered with dust and .cobwcbs
and never be seen again, and ask the
House to Indefinitely postpone this re-
solve; | believe it is a useless expense.
Mr.. MCKINNEY: I would like to ask
in regard to the publishing of the 1860
copies which the gentleman speaks of,
do / understand the gentleman to mean
that the librarian would eXperd more
money than the $4,000 of the appropria-
ton?
Mr.. HARTMANN: No. sir, 1 don't
understand that. but according to the
estimate of the State auditor of print
ing, this book would not cost $4,000 for
printing 1000 copies, but when you put
in 1900 you can easily bring it up 10
$4,000 and the librarian is getting his 800
copies.
Mr.. NEWBEET Of Augusta I wish
to say that | am convinced that 1t
would he extremely unwise for this
House to indefinitely postpone this
measure. | think this is matter that
the lawyers ought to take up. The mo-
ion is in opposition to the report Of nine
members Of the committee. The young
man who has done this work has work
ed on it for many years. The work
commends itself to the judges of tho
courts ard TO the bar of the State.
have just talked with Attorney Heath
who says it is a most valuable work.
and THUS Legislature certainly ought
not to indefinitely postpone this matter
without q full understanding Of what
il is doing.
Mr.. WALDRON Of Dexter: l you'll
ask if it is true that this young man
mas already gotten this index up?
Mr.. NEWBERT' Yes, 1 understand
So
Mr. WALDRON: Is it also true that
it belongs to the State.
Mr.. NEWBERT: That I cannot an
Swer.
Mr.. MCKINNEY: The librarian says
that he has prepared this index of his
own accord. not as librarian. and that
it does not belong TO the State: he owns
it; the state owns no part of il. The
index is in the card now and it is in
the library but it does not belong to
the State. 1t is his own private prop
erty.
Mr.. MERRIMAN of East Lirermore:
1t seems very singular that this young
man has compiled these statistics on
his own time W hen he is employed ten
hours a day by the State. 1 think il
that is looked into it would be found
that he has used little of the States
time. However, We admit that it would
be a very good thing perhaps, hut there
is another more serious question which
confronts as. The pending bills in the
Senate and House and approved by the
Governor run ahead of the eStima ted
receipts over 100000, and the corners
have got to be cut pretty close to get
around that, and what appropriations
are made must be taken care of by an
increase of taxes. That is the situation.
On motion of Mr.. Newbert the mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone was
tabled.
On motion of Mr. johnson of Wa
terville,
Adjourned.
