WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Skowhegan women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fall make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches.
dizzy spells, distressing urinary
troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and
warn you of the stealthy approach
of diabetes, dropsy and Bright's dis
ease. Doan's Kidney Pills perma-
nently cure all these disorders.
Here's proof of it in a Skowhegan
womans words;
Mrs. G. W. Smith of 80 Leavitt ST.,
Skowhegan, Me-, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills are fine for the kidneys. For
three or four months before l used
them, | had suffered from a steady
aching pain across my back and up

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 inlamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inAamed you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Hammatiou 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 bu,
an infiamed 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 Catarh Cure.

In one of his college addresses, in
this country, where he was an honor
ed guest, the Lord Bishop of London
urged the young men not to do
things which their consciences didn't
approve. He urged upon them to
have full faith in God On the sub
ject of stewardship the bishop took
the ground that the power of the
church comes through unity of spirit.
One denomination cannot claim all,
for Christianity is and must be uni
versal. He urged the college men to
go into settlement work and praised
the various religious bodies which
have as their aim the bringing to-
gether of the young men. He spoke
of the power of prayer and the great
influence for good of companionship.
And in conclusion he asked the men
of Yale to live life as real as possible,
to live it in faith in God, under die
tates of conscience, with cleanliness
and with full knowledge of RESPONSE
bility to those about US.

HIS DEAR OLD MOTHER.

"My dear old mother, who is now eighty
three years old, thrives on Electric Bitters.
writes w. B. Brunson, of Dublin, Ga. "She
has taken them for about two years and en-
joys an excellent appetite, feels strong and
sleeps we'll" That's the way Electric Bitters
affect the aged, and the same happy results
follow in ali cases of female weakness and
general debility. Weak, puny children too
are greatly strengthened by them. Guaran'

Rum is the great enemy of man
kind. 1t provokes murder, rapine
and the reign of lawlessness. Assoc
as the explosion of the Dupont Pow
der Mills destroyed in the twinkling
of an eye the lutte village of Fonta-
net, Ind, the Governor of the State
ordered the closing of all places where
liquor or Intoxicating drinks were
sold. While this is absolutely a
measure of safety in public calamity
why isn't it a good thing for every
day in the year.

Prisoners Break Iail.


Sometime early Sunday morning
three prise ners confined in the coun-
ty Jail here escaped. They were all
short term men and from the fact
that the often ses for which they were
serving time were minor ones and
also owing to the youth of the pris-
oners, they were not locked in the
cage at night, but were allowed to
sleep in the upper part of the Jail.
1t was from this floor that the break
was made.
One of the men was Arthur Pierson
of Tenants Harbor, who some time
ago had been sent from that town to
Good Will Home in Fairfield. His
age is II. While at the home he was
convicted of stealing bicy Gle and
was given the usual sentence of 80
days i'll jail according to the statute
in such case made and provided, and
was sentenced to the Stare School
for Boys during his minority. But
was deemed advisable to remove him
from that institution and let him
serve the original sentence in jail.
AS the theft was committed in Som
erset county, he was, of course, ad-
mitted to the Jail here. He had but
five days of the 80 to serve before he
Another who escaped was Harry
Vesol, who was committed from
Pittsfield on Oct. 81 for 80 days, hav-
ing been convicted of single sale.
His age is Is. The third to escape
was Charles Edwards of Pittsfeld,
who had been committed after a
hearing in the Pittsfield Municipal
Court, on charge of malicious mis-
chief, to await the action of the De-
cember grand jury. His age was %
years.
Escape was effected by saving off
one of the iron bars in the top of one
of the two windows in the northwest
side of the second floor of the Jail.
This made an aperture some two feet
high and about seven inches wide.
The window is situated on that side
of the jail looking out on the railroad
trac ks and is 20 feet from the ground.
The space seemed hardly large
enough for a man to get through, but
all the escaped prisoners were OF
small stature. A rope had been tied
/ to one of the iron bars in the lower
part of the window and down this 1t
was an easy matter to slide to liberty.
The break was discovered at about
7.30 Sunday morning when Z. Z. TO-
zier, the turnkey, went to give the
prisoners their breakfast. He found
but one man waiting instead of four.
There is no doubt but what the men
had aid from the outside. Some OF
their friends must have passed the
file and the rope to them, as there
was no other means OF obtaining
them.
1t so happened that Mr.. Tozier had
been to Waterville and was driving
home early Sunday morning. When
Just outside of this town he met three
men walking down the Waterville
road but did not recognize them
When he discovered the loss of his
prisoners at the Jail he was able to
recall enough of the appearance OF
the three pedestrians to make II
practically certain that they were
Pearson, Edwards and Vessel. Meas
ures were at once taken to follow
them and parties were found along
the Waterville road who saw them
pass, but they were not apprehended
Later it was stated that three mer
boarded an east bound freight train
at Waterville about eleven O'Clock
Sunday forenoon, and this is the last
trace of them thus far reported.

A Methodist church in Ohio has an
oil well, in the back yard of the meet
ing house, which produces sufficient
crude oil to not only pay the minis
ter's salary and all other church ex-
penses, but to make up a bank ac-
count big enough to build the meet
ing house over again. That is better
than having John d. member of the
church, as you don't have to explain
away any crooked transactions.

Keith's Boston Theatre.

There will be a wealth of good
things in the bill at Keith's next week,
80 many, SO good and of such an
equality in the vaudeville world that
it is almost an injustice to be obliged
to mention one before another, for of
course it is usually customary in max :
ing announcements to name them in
the order of their Importance.
"a Night on a House Boat" will be
the big novelty. This is Jesse Lasky's
most recent and most ambitious pre-
sentation, and in it has excelled all
of his previous efforts, which include
such great successes as "The Stunning
Grenadiers, ""The Pianophiends" and
Robinson Crusoe's Isle" The title
tells the tale, for the scene represents
a magnificent house boat moored in a
beautiful lake, while the action details
the happenings of a night before the
Fourth. There are a dozen in the
company, many catchy songs and
very effective costumes.
There is no more popular singer
with the patrons of Keith's than
Camille D'Arville, who has not been
seen In Boston in several seasons.
She is in fine voice these days and Is
as handsome and attractive as ever.

1t has been SO extremely difficult to
secure farm help in Maine, at even a
very high price, some crops that were
damaged by early drouth and late
flooding rains are not of sufficient
value to allow harvesting by the help
of such expensive labor.

The United States will lose some
nine hundred thousand dollars, loan

A Profitable Meeting.

who attended the meeting of the State
Educational Association at Bangor,
returned Saturday night, unanimous
" declaring that they had spent three
pleasant and profitable days there.
There were several fine exhibits of
school work among which, those from
the Skowhegan and Pittsfield schools
took high rank. Among the superin-
tendents from Somerset towns we're:
Lewis of Madison, Colby of Skowhe-
gan, Sewall of Fairfield. Roweli of
Canaan, Drake of Pittsfield and Ball

pals Perkins of Skowhegan, Pratt of
Fairfield and Loudman of Pittstield.
The potato growers of Aroostook
county received another setback.
Sunday night, the Goth, the entire
county was swept by a heavy frost,
and the Aroostook farmers have suf
fered. Potatoes froze in the ground,
in the barns and in the loaded cars
and hundreds of dollars will be lost.
just before the frost it was estimated
that on account of the lateness of the
season there was about 20 per cent of
the Aroostook crop still in the ground
Sundays frost did not destroy all of
the potatoes not dug, but according to
the reports that come down from
Aroostook it spoiled many of them
for market. The freeze came entirely
unexpectedly and never before in the
history of the potato industry in
Aroostook county have the potatoes
frozen on the cars and in the ground
on the 10th day of October.
