VICTIMS OF AN UNKNOWN PEST.
Family of Machiasport Sorely Afflicted.

Family of Machiasport Sorely Afflicted.
MACHIAsPoRT, Me-, Feb 5. Rev. J.
B. Brown, pastor of the Baptist church
in the Holmes bay district, in the east
ern section of Aachiasport, four miles
from the town proper, called upon the
municipal officers today for assistance
for family of two persons, William
Libby and his wife, who he says, have
been visited by pest which has caused
the death of all their domestic animals,
the critical illness of the wife, and the
isolation of the family by the neighbors.
Rev. Mr.. Brown told the selectmen
Of most unusual situation. He said
that about six weeks ago Mr.. Libby
purchased horse and few days later
started for East Machias, three miles
distant. After being on the road few
minutes, the horse began to get nerv-
GUS and shake himself. As he did so a
cloud of insects arose from his body.
On returning, the stable was examined,
and the same insects were found in
! large numbers in the building, and on
the COW, horse, cat and dog. The same
day large quantities of the insects were
found in the house and in the beds and
clothing. Exterminators of various
kinds were used without success, and
the pest continued to increase in num-
beers at an alarming rate.
The insect is described as little
larger than the house flea, which it re-
sembles, and not quite SO large as the
seed of the average sweet pea. 1t has
wings, red, white or black, and is very
pointed at either end. DR.. Mcdonald
of East Machias, who made micro
scopic examination of the insect, says
he cannot determine to what species it
belongs or where it came from. The
idea has been advanced by some OF the
neighbors that it came from the Ma
chias river. Recently there have been
several uplieavals from the bottom of
the river, the cause of which never has
been fully determined, and it is said
these insects have been seen floating on
the surface. after such eruptions.
The physician who last visited the
woman states that on turning down her
lower lip scores of these insects were
found imbedded in the flesh, their dark
bodies giving the surface black ap-
pearance. She is in critical condition.
brought on by the constant strain for
weeks, neighbors having refused to ap-
proach the house or allow the sorely
afflicted people to enter their homes,
according to Rev. Mr.. Brown.
The insects keep secluded as far as
possible in the day time and at night
come out with renewed forces and the
occupants of the house are obliged to
fight them, as they will enter the
mouth, nose and ears.
Mr.. Libby's horse has died, he was
obliged to kill the COW, and the cat and
dog were in such agony they drowned
themselves in the surf near their mas
ter's home. The State board of health
will be asked to make an investigation.

ing when he started over TO the Pen
sion Office. He worked there steadily
for three forenoons until he had called
up all the cases. During the last few
days he has been writing to the veter-
ans all about what he found.
Governor Burleigh is still drawing
prizes for Maine in the way of public
buildings, as the following letter shows.
While this building is not within his
district, as the ranking member of the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds he has been able to cooperate
with Congressman Powers to good
advantage, and has taken deep inter-
est in the matter. The letter shows
that he has obtained virtual promise
that work on this building will begin
with the coming of spring, which with
the Bar Harbor and Augusta appropri-
atoms: makes three buildings for the
State, the work on which is now expec-
ted to commence this spring. The let

Honorable Edwin G. Burleigh, N. c.,
House of Representatives, Washington
D. c.
Dear Sir: Referring to your personal
call relative to the status OF work on the
new Federal building which it is proposed
to erect at Calais, Maine, you are advised
that in taking up the drawings for the
buildings provided for under the Act of
June 80, 1906, extensions to buildings
already constructed receive first considera-
ton; the exigencies of the case demanding
that they be expedited as much as possible.
| take pleasure, however. in stating that
the working drawings for the Federal
Building at Calais are now well under way.
Upon their completion the specifications
viii be taken up, and if nothing unforeseen
occurs, it is expected that actual building
operations can be commenced at the site
during the coming spring.
Your interest in the matter is thoroughly
appreciated, and the Department will
make every effort to expedite the work.
Respectfully,
j. K. TAYLOR,
Supervising Architect.

Here is simple homemade mixture as
given by an eminent authority on Kidney
diseases, who makes the statement in a
New York daily newspaper, that it will re-
lieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if
taken before the stage of Bright's disease.
He states that such symptoms as lame back,
pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night; painful aud discolored
urination, are readily overcome. Here is
the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelon, one-half ounce
Compound KargOn. one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a
teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town is
authority that these ingredients are all
harmless and easily mixed at home by shak-
ing well in bottle. This mixture has a
peculiar healing and soothing effect upon
the entire Kidney and Urinary structure,
and often overcomes the worst forms Of
Rheumatism in just a little while. This
mixture is said to remove all blood dis
doris and cure the Rheumatism by forcing
the Kidneys to filter and strain from the
blood and system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't well. Save

Clough of 10 Union street.
: While his life pursuit has been that
of shoe factory operative, and in that
he is the dean of the Belfast workmen,
having finished his SD year of continu-
GUS service in one factory, he has work
ed in many different lines, representing
both war and peace.
A native of Prospect, now Stockton
/ Springs, he was attending school when
: the Civil War came on, and he at once
applied for job at Fort Knox, which
was then being built in Prospect. He

One of the articles saved in his ship
wreck was the galley clock, which now
keeps as good time in Mr. Clough's
kitchen as it did 40 years ago in the
schooner's galley.
His SteamhOat service was in the
steamer Cambridge, Capt. J.. ?. John
son, and the pilots included Reuel

all-round career ashore. He worked in
Natick, Mass, in a straw factory and
grocery store, and in Cochituate in a

Old-FasliOncd Home Remedy that is
of Great Value.


In comparing statistics of the fatal
tiles from pneumonia in different
states, it is interesting to notice how
favorab1y Maine compares with other
states. This is undoubtedly due to the
general use of simple homemade
remedy composed of four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one each
of olive oil and Anodyne. Mix well
together and take in teaspoonful doses.
The Anodyne alone is also applied eX
ternally on the throat and chest. If
taken in time, this will absolutely pre-
vent pneumonia
Neuralgia Anodyne is also invaluable
in all aches and pains, such as neural
gia, headaches, rheumatism, toothache,
bruises, sprains. cuts, chilblains, Group,
sore throat etc. A large-sized bottle

easy under old crop liquidation, while
new crop months held pretty steady
on covering, in spite of favorable

dency, with prices holding about TO
8 points net lower on the new crop
and - to II points lower ON old crop
months toward the end of the first
hour
The market was unsettled late in the
forenoon and at one time old crop
months were % to 2S points net lower,
while the new crop continued rela-
lively steady. At midday prices were
up from the lowest with some of the
later months about unchanged. but the

PLANTS IN
FULL BLAST GIVE
THOUSANDS WORK

PITTSBURG, June 23.-The Carne-
gle Steel Company has practically re-
sumed operation in all it's Homestead
plants. Every one of the 60 open
hearth furnaces are being run in full
blast. There had been 80 of them run
ming for the past ten days.
The Dewers-Wood plant at McKees-
port has posted notices for it's former
workmen to return as quickly as pos
sible. This means the employment of
900 skilled workmen who have been
out for many months now The Jones
& Laughlin Company has also put on
several hundred additional men, and it
is said they will continue to increase
the force until the entire 10000 en-
ployees are back at work.
The glass industry also showed i'm
provement. The big plants at Taren-
tum. Pa. started in full at daybreak
after being idle for many months.
Railroads, too, are reporting a better
showing in shipments, and it is esti-
mated that within the past three days
20, 900 cars, idle for months, ave been
put in motion.
