THIEVES ARE PERSISTENT.
Visit Portland Millinery Store Every
Night for Week.

Portland, Me-. Nov. 5.-Mrs. f. c.
Chase's millinery store on Congress street
has been visited by thieves every night
for week and her cash register has been
Systematically robbed of all it contained.
Monday Mrs. Chase, whose losses have
been quite heavy. became angry and
spoke rather sharply to some of her at
tendants in the store and the next morn
ing she found window open in the back
of the store, the clerks claiming that it
had been opened on the outside. The mys-
terious part of the case is that access
to this window from the outside seems
possible.
The police are puzzlng over this case
as we'll as over the three other store rob-
berries and seem to be no nearer Il soli-
ton. A general feeling of uneasi'ess pre-
walls among the storekeepers all over the
city on account of these mysterious and
continued robberies.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
w. f. Strout, Portland, Prosecuted by
State Pharmacy Board.

Portland. Me-, Nov 5.-Frederck W.
Wilson, chairman of the State Pharmacy
Board, appeared as complainant against
Willard F. Strout, who has the honor OF
being the first man to be arrested IN
Maine on a charge of violation the law
relative to running drug store without
registered pharmacist, and for selling
poison without properly labelling 1t as
poison.
James r. White of Portland testified
that he had bought bi-chloride of mercury
of Strout at his drug store on Fore street
which drug was not labelled poison. After
long hearing Strout was held for the
grand jury in the sum of $500 on each OF
the three counts. This is the first EFFORT
Of the State Board of Pharmacy to clear
up some Of the so-called drug stores
which exist in large numbers In Portland
and other Maine towns.
1t is understood that Strout's conviction
on this charge will mean a general prose-
cution of fake druggists all oyer Maine.

are not only making your own life
miserable, but are nuisance to every
one about you.

lieve your cold in five minutes; why

tecd cure for Colds, Coughs, Sore
Throat. Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Asthma.

tory tract, stops the mucous discharge

is cured A complete Hyomei outfit

Judging from the talk that is now
going around among the local horse
men there will be some lively times on
the Hallowell ice track when the Ken
nchec river is again sealed by ice. and
while it is perhaps anticipating a lit
tie they are already making plans for
the races that are to come sometime
between Thanksgiving day and the
time that the next Legislature ad-
iourns. The winter races of the past
have been productive of certain
amount of interest but the offering of
cups to the winners of the different
classes served as a decided stimulus
to the owners of speed and it is ex-
pectcd that the races of the coming
winter will be conducted on much
larger scale than ever before OF the
