CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
Home without Publicity, or Loss
of Time from BUSINESS.

Thousands of persons who really
want to quit the use of whiskey or
beer, realize that they cannot do so
without the aid of medical help, yet
they cannot afford the time or per
haps the money to go to the sanatori-
UNI. Happily new cure for drunk
enness has been discovered which is
to be taken at home and costs less
than the average drinker will spend
in day for drink.
In using Orrine there is absolutely
no publicity, as the remedy is sold by
the leading druggists in nearly every
city and town, or it can be sent by
mail. Sure relief is positive when Or
rine is used, So uniformly successful
is this treatment that in every box is
a registered guarantee which entities
you to fund of your money if Orrine
fails to effect a cure.
Orrine is in two forms, No. 1, a
secret remedy, absolutely tasteless
and odorless which can be given in
food or drink without the patients
knowledge, No. 2 in Pill form for
those who wish to be cured. The
price of either form is 81 box. Send
to the Orrine Co., Washington, d. c.,
for free booklet and consultation
blank.
The desire for liquor is soon de-
stroyed after Orrine treatment is
commenced and before long the
patient is freed from the terrible
drink craving and the drink will not
be missed.
Orrine is for sale by Frank w.
Buchanan.

Summer Trains.

After the summer schedules 90 into
effect on Monday, June 10, Maine will
have the best railroad service in her
history if the plans which are now be
ing made by the railroad officials
work out as they are expected to-
Maine has been fortunate in her rail
road service in the past and there are
few places in the country where a
population of comparative size and
distributed as Names is can claim
such excellent service on the part OF
the railroads. The schedules for the
summer service have not been com
pleted yet. a meeting of the pas
senger agents of the New England
roads was held in Boston last week
and comparison of schedules made
but the completed schedules will not
be out for several weeks.
On the Maine Central east of Port
land the trains will be much the same
as they were last summer. There
will be slight changes in time TO cor
respond with the changes on the Bos-
ton < Maine but the number of trains
will be practically the same and the
changes in time will be a matter only
of minutes.
There will be but little change in
eastbound trains on the Maine Central
east of Portland. The through New
York which has been getting into
WaterVille at about 9 a. m. in past
seasons will have connection this
year at Oakland for Mooosehead lake
via Somerset railroad whose extern
sion now touches Moosehead at Birch
Point, opposite kineo. This connec-
ton is expected to be popular route
with people going to kineo, As II is a
new route and there is said to I've some
beautiful scenery along the line. The
Provincial express due in Wateryille,
now at / % p, m, Will also have con
nection for Moosehead at Oakland.
The change in which Maine people
will be Interested perhaps more tnan
any other is in the matter OF the TWO
early afternoon trains for the west.
II is not change either. in Tact the
interest should lie in the fac ui there
being no change, During the winter
two trains were run west from Ban
COR early i'm the afternoon. to take
of the business which proved too
much for the FLYING Yankee, frequent
IL making it necessary to run that
train in two sections. No. 1t, the new
train. was put on to leave AT l2.4o and
the Flying Yankees departure wa>
put back about half an hour To
o'clock. These trains will be run dur
ing the summer just as they are now
with possibly a few minutes change il
time. They are the most popular
trains running west and the fact thai
the two trains will be kept ON viii hg
appreciated.

Maine State Fair Dates.

Dates for the Maine State Fair were
changed by the board of trustees at
meeting held in Auburn, Thursday
and Friday
The fair will open Monday, Sept. 2,
Labor Day. This is a new departure,
as it has always opened on Tuesday.
The dates will be Sept 2, 3, and 9th.
1t will close day earlier. Holding
the fair on Labor Day ought to make
the first day which usually has a poor
attendance. one of the best of the
week. Special attractions will be Of
fered in the line of sports and it may
be that labor organizations will take
some part in the program.
The premium list was thoroughly
revised New classes were created
and the premiums on others were in
creased. The total premiums paid
will be about $4,000 or $4,000 more than
last year.
Of that amount $1,000 is offered for
the short horn department., which will
be the biggest feature of the cattle
show. Short horns from all over the
eastern part of the country will be in
competition. The American short
Horn Association gave the society
$500 for that department on condition
that the fair appropriate an equal
amount.
Another special feature of the cat
tie show will be there Hereford de-
partment The Hereford Association
gave 500 for premiums in addition to
what the fair appropriates.
There will be special classes for
sheep, swine, poultry and all other
classes of exhibit.
Premiums paid on hall exhibits
have been increased with the others.
There will be two classes for draft
horses, one for full bloods and the
other for half bloods.
The trustees visited the fair grounds
Friday and took au inventory of the
property on hand.
1t was stated by one of the officials
in the afternoon that the debt had
beer reduced the past year by $4,000
besides the expenditure of $1,000 in
improvements on the grounds and the
increase of the personal property of
the association.
All of the trustees were present, eX-

Most wnnd.rtul Cave In the World.

The mos wonderful cave In the
world Is in the island OF Tonga. IN the
south Pacific. Byron called II "a
chapel of the seas" 1t is formed il a
rock that is almost surrounded hY the
ocean. This rock Is about sixty feet
high and broad proportionately Many

tide fell, disclosing a small Opening in
the rock about six feet under low wa

hunter entered the aperture and. to
his surprise. came to the surface in
side the rock The rock was hollow,
and its interior was found afterward,
when the natives explored il with
torches, to contain many beautiful
stalactites When attacked and fol

know the secret leave their canoes,
plunge into the water and disappear.
Their foes linger, astonished at their

Merits Condemnation .

The outbreak of laWlessness exhib-
tied in the attack on Rev. II. y.
Pringle, a field secretary Of the Maine
Civic League at Bar Harbor. last Fri
day evening, is fortunately. unusual
for the slate Of Maine II was most
reprehensible act and one thai very
properly meets with universal DIS
approval. Mr.. Pringle'4 work is dis
tasteful in the extreme and few men
can be found who will accept such a
position and discharge its duties with
the courage and energy he has shown
In all his activities, however. it is not
likely that he has interfered with the
wholesome pleasure or the legiti-
mate profit of a single resident Of
Maine, and the mob which is guilty Of
the present outrage and their sympa-
thizers, if there be any, show them
selves to be allied with that which de
grades or with business which is I'm
lawful. 1t is not to be supposed that
Mr. Pringle will be deferred in the
least from his work by this offer OF
personal violence. He has previous
ly shown himself to be possessed OF
plenty of moral courage and this is
the best guarantee that he has physi-
cal courage to prevent his being in
fiuenced by the Bar Harbor incident
The indignity offered to Mr.. Pringle
is an insult to every law abiding
citizen of Maine. In the end the
affair will react upon its perpetrators
and in the mean time it is gratifying
to note that Indignation is widespread
and that sympathy for Mr.. Pringle il
manifested in all quarters.

Hooking the Wary Trout.

Trout when hungry usually face the
current. This fact should be remem-
bered when approaching bridge or
eddy where the "speckled beauties
love to hide" If possible, such spots
should be approached upstream. 1t
may take little more time to go
around and come back up, but "make
haste slowly" is said to be the first
maxim of trout fishing.
AS the stream becomes warmer,
the trout seek the cool pools and
shaded places. They are to be found
where the cold spring bubbles up into
the stream or where a mountain creek
enters; often a number frequent the
same haunt. Each additional fish
means two more eyes to watch for
the fisherman. One trout is all that
is necessary to give danger signal
by darling away. The rest immedi-
ately follow suit. To catch more
than one-or even that-in such a
place takes skill in the use of the line.
But who has said that trout fishing is
not an art?-From the April Circle.
