Damage From Hail Storm.

During the shower last Thursday
night much damage was done through
a section of Moscow and Pleasant
Ridge by hail which fell in great
quantities and with much force,
breaking many windows and flooding
the rooms with water. The greatest
harm was done TO the growing crops
and gardens, which in some cases
were completely ruined. A large pine
grove belonging to Samuel Rollins was
badly injured great trees being
broken twisted and thrown about in
every manner. A barn belonging to
VIM. Ashcroft was blown down and
other people had barns or sheds dam
aged. 1t is very unusual thing for
a hail storm to occur as late as this
one, which was at 7.30 p. m.

County Commissioners Conventic

County Commissioners Convention.
The annual convention of the coun-
ty commissioner of Maine will be
held at Kennebec court house in
Augusta, Wednesday, August II.
The committee on arrangements for
the convention consists of three COM
missioners for Kennebec county,
Herman H. Adams of Belgrade, Levi
T. Williams of Augusta and Irving r.
Bradley of Vienna. A number of
interesting matters will be discussed,
including the idea to have the cost of
conducting coronors' inquests borne
by the State instead of by the county
as is the case at present, ,4and methods
of working the prisoners in the va
rious county jails. This convention
met at Belfast, last year, and at
Machias two years ago while the first
meeting was held at Houlton three
years ago.

Worst is Over.

Forest Commissioner E. {. Ping
has been closely following up the
investigation as TO the cause of pine
tree blight. which has been the occa-
sion Of 50 much alarm among the
owners of wood lots and tim berlands,
not only in Maine but all over New
England.
From his Investigations Mr.. Ring is
of the opinion that the worst is over.
He SAYS that from the observations
he mas personally made and talk with
men who have studied the situation
with great deal of care. he is sure
that the blight is caused by the pecu-
liar climatic conditions of 1907.
The fact that the trees are affected
are those that are most exposed 10
the weather leads largely to this deci
sion. Trees that have been sheltered
show little or no signs of the blight.
The north side of the trees appear TO
have been affected more than the
south. Another thing that is MOTTO
able is, that the trees growing on dry
sandy soil are affected more than
those in other localities.
Again in some localities It has
affected the fir and cedar, which fact
makes it absolutely sure that il is not
caused by an insect. Some of the
smallest trees may die but Mr.. Ring
thinks the larger trees will ultimately
recover from the effect. At least all
the facts and signs at hand at present
are encouraging to him.

RED NOSES.

Do you suffer the embarrassment of
carrying around an extremely red
nose? Or are you tortured with red,
blotchy or pimply face? If SO you are
foolish to stand it long; it is the
simplest and easiest thing in the world
to get rid of. No matter what might
have been the cause, the following
harmless and inexpensive treatment
will positively remove all traces of
your embarrassment in from two to
four weeks.
Get this prescription filed at any
Drug Store. Clearola ne-half ounce,
Ether one ounce, Alcohol seven
ounces.
Mix and apply to the parts affected
as often as possible, but morning and
night anyway, allowing it to remain
on as long as possible, never less than
ten minutes, the longer the better,
then you can wipe off the powdery
film deposited on the skin.
You can get this put up at any Drug
Store.
For any skin troubles this has no
equal.

DEBS HAS FLING AT HEARST
Socialist Candidate Says Party Only
Hopes to Beat Bryan.
Joins with the Nebraskan in saving
that the Independents Have
No Chance

Terre Haute. Ind. Aug. Eugene Y.
Debs. who has just returned from a trip
through the East in the interest OF his
candidacy for the Presidency on the So
cialist ticket, is OF the same opinion as
the Democratic leaders. that there IS no
room for the Independence Party and
that It will have little effect IN changing
the political situation.
The Independence Party IS not likely
to be an appreciable factor in the cam
paign.T said Debs tonight 1T seems
perfectly clear that the Independence
Party was brought Into existence from
motives Of piQue and revenge. and not OF
principle. Had Mr. Bryan supported Mr..
Hearst for the nomination for the Presf-
dency four years ago. there would not
now be any Independence Party
Mr. Hearst supported Bryan heartily
eight years ago. in spite Of the reason
he now urges against him Every OBJ
lection Hearst makes to Bryan now could
have been made with equal reason eight
years ago. so there must be some other
cause for the formation Of a new party 10
defeat Mr. Bryan
As the Independence Party has not
even the remotest prospect Of electing
anybody. IL IS not probable that the
patriots viii flock to its standard IN over
whelming numbers
And yet in Indiana. where the cleo
ton may be close, the Independence
Party may have some influence in de-
termining the results.
