SOUTH PARIS PEOPLE

WITH CHRONIC COUGHS NEED vINoL.
1T STOPS THE COUGH AND CURES THE
CAUSE.
This is the season for coughs and
colds, and for the benefit Of South Paris
people a member of the firm Of F. A.
Shurtleff & Co., our local druggists, tell
them the best means for cure.
He says: "Take Vinol, our real cod
liver preparation without oil. 1t does
not upset the stomach like cough syrups,
and it is much more effective. Vinol Ii
not palliative but curative"
This is because Vinol contains in a
highly concentrated form all of the heal
ing, strength creating and medicinal ele'
ments of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, with all the use
less, nauseating oil eliminated and tonic
iron added. 1t tastes fine, and canno,
upset the weakest stomach, hence Its
wonderful power to cure.
We ask every person in South Paris
who has chronic cough or hard cold tc
try Vinol on our guarantee. F. A

Work on the criminal docket being in
order last week, the first trial begun on
Monday was that of Howard McPhee of
Rumford Falls, on the charge of main
tanning liquor nuisance. McPhee was
indicted Jointly with Joseph b. Mitchell,
who has disappeared. County Attorney
Barnes conducted the case for the state,
and Mr.. Mccarthy appeared for McPhee.
After the evidence for the state had been
heard, McPhee changed his mind and
pleaded guilty. The nuisance case was
then continued, but he was sentenced on
two other cases, fine of 500 and costs
being imposed in the common seller case,
and fine of $50 and costs in case OF
single sale. He did not produce the
cash but instead is serving the alterna-
tive of three months in Jail.
The only full trial of the day was that
of Harry belong of Rumford Falls, on
the charge of liquor nuisance. This was
one of the "spOtter cases." so called.
Testimony was introduced to show that
intoxicated men were seen about Deloug' S
place of business, but the only direct
evidence of sale was given by George Z.
Herman of Westbrook, who spent some
time at Rumford Falls in January, and
testified that after having been once re-
fused at Belongs place, he later pur-
chased whiskey there.
For the defence Mr. Mccarthy, who
was Belongs attorney, put on the stand
the respondent himself, who denied
Herman's story. He then produced three
citizens of Westbrook 10 impeach the
principal witness for the state. One OF
these men was barber, one the boss OF
the room in the paper mill in which
Herman worked, and the third was night
superintendent in the mill. These men
all testified that Herman's reputation for
truth and veracity in the community
where he lived was bad, but their testi-
mOny was somewhat weakened on cross
examination.
Considering the small scope of the tes-
timouy in the case, quite elaborate and
decidedly able arguments were made
both by Mr.. Mccarthy for the defence
and County Attorney Barnes for the
state, though both arguments were very
personal in their style. The charge OF
Judge WhitehouSe was very clear and
comprehensive. The jury was out
about ten minutes, and returned with a
verdict of guilty.
James MCGEE of Rumford pleaded
guilty in some liquor cases, and will take
sentence later.
Frank Sowickis, formerly of Rumford,
who disappeared with search and
seizure case hanging over him, and pro-
ceedings against whose bondsmen have
been instituted, through his attorney
entered plea of guilty and paid fine
of 500 and costs.
The belong case being closed just at
the close of the day Monday, left the
way clear for the Everett murder case,
which opened Tuesday morning, and TO
which the rest of the week has been de-
voted.

Merrill, Springer Co. Mill Burned,
BAD FIRE AT WEST BETHEL LAST
FRIDAY NIGHT.

The mill of the Merrill, Springer Co
at West Bethel, used for the manufacture
Of spools and novelties, was burned Fri
day night at about nine o'clock. 1t ID
supposed that the fire caught about the
boiler, though this is not definitely
known. The dry sheds and stock in
them were saved. There was an insur-
ance of $500 on the buildings, machin.
cry and stock, and it is thought the loss
will be at least $1,000 above the insurance.
N. r. Springer, who lives at Bethel
village, about four miles from the burn.
ed mill, was the principal owner in the
property.
1t is not known whether the mill will
be rebuilt.
