The Sturgis deputies are continuing
their raids on the Bangor rumsellers
with good results. These sellers have
been so long in the business they
have become expert, and the way
they can cover up their tracks is 4
caution. Many claim that the local
officers can do better work than the
Sturgis deputies, as they know how
"to get on to their curves.o But the
questi ON is, will the local officers get
busy, or are they too thoroughly
saturated with the Bangor plan to
render effective serv ice, So far a
large number of seizures have been
made, the parties arrested and sum
moned before the courts. The Stur-
gis deputies have also appeared in
Portland, but after the Bangor raid
they were expected there, and the
seizures they have made have been
exceedingly small. Other towns are
expected 10 be visited.

When summoned to the Presidency,
on the death of the lamented Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Roosevelt made the fol-
lowing statement that thrilled the
nation:
"Mr. Secretary, | shall take the
oath at. once, at the request of the
members of the Cabinet and, in this
hour of deep and terrible national
bereavement l wish to state l shall
continue absolutely unbroken the
policy of President Mckinley for the
peace, prosperity and honor of our
beloved country"
That was his pledge, his promise of
absolutely unbroken continuity in the
wise policy of President Mckinley for
the prosperity, as well as the peace
and honor, of our beloved country.
One of the reasons and the main
reason, that Mr.. Roosevelt has been
solid with the people is that he has
carried out that policy. And now,
what of the future? Will he continue
to carry out that policy? Let his
speech, the other day, at Cape Cod, in
the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the Pilgrim memorial monu
ment, answer that question. There is
to be no back down in the Presidents
attitude on vital questions. There is
to be no let-up in the prosecution of
the trusts; he believes in the over
sight of the government over corpor
atoms, that they may not do harm to
the people. Our railroads should be
under such a control as the govern
ment now has over national banks
He hopes soon "the national govern
ment will pass laws which, while in
creasing the supervisory and regula-
tory power of the government, also
permit such useful combinations as
are made with absolute openness and
as the representatives of the govern
ment may previously approve" In
this the President but reasserts what
he has said before, that combinations
which do not restrain trade injurious
ly, as for instance tariff agreements
among railroads, made in the open
and with the approval of the com
mission. And he plainly does not
contemplate less degree of regula-
ton than at present, but rather more.
He hopes there will be legislation
increasing the power of the national
government to deal with sanitary
matters. But above all enactments,
he believes it vastly more important
to cultivate high quality of individ-
ual citizenship.

The new Augusta House," to be
built at the capital, will be six stories
in height. We have seen the plans
and they present beautiful struc-
ture. The entrance will be at the
centre of the building. The north
end wing will be given up entirely to
the dining room and ladies' reception
room. The dining room gives an in
creased capacity over the old of so
per cent. The Office, reading and
writing rooms, and ladies' reception
room, take the whole front floor of
the main part. The Office will be
spacious, and will be supplied with
tables and cosy corners, with the
modern hotel idea of making it a
general meeting place. There will be
private office, coat room, telegraph
and telephone offices, fire elevator,
$50 rooms in all, with so bathrooms,
and hot and cold water and telephone
in every room. In short, the new
house will have every modern con-
venience and will keep open the year
round. Several hotel men have al
ready applied for the lease. Work
on the structure will be begun at
once, with the understanding that it
shall be rooted in by the first of
December, and ready for occupancy
early in May.

F. B. Heselton Injured.

Frank B. Heselton sustained severe
injuries by being thrown from his
team, while on his way to his farm on
the river road, Thursday of last week.
Since the storm in July which
carried out the bridge across Susie
Brook, on the River Road, traffic has
been Accommodated by a temporary
bridge a short distance below. AS
Mr.. Heselston was approaching this
bridge, about eight O'Clock in the
evening, his horses became frightened
and he was thrown out. The team
proceeded home alone and their
arrival at the farm, about one mile
below the Susie Brook bridge, gave
warning to the people there that
some accident had happened. The
young man at work for Mr.. Heselton
hitched up team at once and started
to trace the road to Skowhegan. He
found Mr.. Heselton at the bridge
where he had fallen and was so much
injured about the side and back that
he had been unable to rise. With
dSS lie w dS dDlC W SCl HUI VIC
team and ride home. He has since
improved slightly but is still confined
to his bed.
Such an accident is always a mis-
fortune but it comes to Mr.. Heselton
in a specially unfavorable time, as he
had a large area of grain and other
crops just ready to harvest. 1t seems
hardly possible that he will be able to
engage in work about his farm again
this fall.

81 want to tell you about Grape Nuts
food and my experience with it.
Il had for a year or two, felt a gen.
eral debility creeping on me, and also
suffered from fiatulency, piles, etc.
which began to think was due to
advancing age, now being IS years old,
when, in the providence Of God, as be-
lieve, Grape Nuts was brought to my
notice, and tried as an experiment.
In week 1 found a decided i'm
provement in myself, and have kept
improving ever since, and am now be-
ing congratulated on the great change
in my appearance by all acquaintance.
Not only SO, but l feel I have reserve
force so that I do not feel wearied at
night, altho L have worked continuous
ly from $50 a. M until 9 p m.
recommend Grape Nuts to my
friends and acquaintance, and all of
my family use the food and it is on the
table at every meal whatever else is
omitted I write this being DESTROYS
of giving vent to the grateful feeling
I entertain for the benefits received
from the use of this incompatible
food
Inc particular element which pro-
duces the feeling of strength is the
delicate particles of Phosphate of Pot
ash, not the phosphate Of the drug
store, but that which is prepared by
Nature and furnished in the field
grains. This delicate element, not OBJ
served by the taste, is used by Nature
in connection with the albumen of food,
to rebuild the gray matter in the nerve
centres thruout the body and in the
brain and solar plexus, so that one
thus nourished and rebuilt is very sure
to feel the effects of this rebuilding
within q week or ten days, and this
