JACKSON OUTRAGE.
Unknown Persons Attempt to AssaSsinate
DR.. E. {. McKowen

Saturday morning between /
and 2 o'clock, the citizens of
were aroused by the firing of
five pistol shots in rapid success
sion followed a short while later
by louder explosion as if from
a bomb of some kind.
The trouble was at the home
of DR., E. G. McKowen. 1t seems
as if he had just returned
from a professional call to the
country when he heard a noise
in his back yard so he went out
at the front door to investigate.
When he reached the back yard
ne was fired upon three times,
one of the bullets striking a rib
over his heart and glancing pro.
duced a flesh-wound. DR.. Nc
Kowen fired two shots at the
would-be assassins. After the
shooting DR.. McKowen started
into the house at the back door
and became entangled in some
wire which set off a bomb or
mine of some kind, causing a loud
explosion but doing no damage
except to the steps at the door.
Blood hounds were brought up
from Baton Rouge but could find
no trail of the marauders.
A mass-meeting of the citizens
of Jackson was held at Mayor
Holcombe'soffice Saturday morn
ling and the outrage was strongly
condemned. A considerable
sum of money was collected and
a detective from the Pinkerton
Agency at New Orleans has been
lemployed 10 ferret out the lin:
linals.
The following resolutions we're
adopted at the mass-meeting;
Whereas, Some party or par
ties unknown, did, on the night
of October End. between the
hours of | and 2 o'clock, enter
the premises of DR.. E. G. Nc
Kowen, in the town of Jackson,
La, and attempt to assassinate
him by shooting him and dyna-
hitting his residence, and
Whereas, Such a dastardly and
cowardly deed is deplored and
condemned by all law abiding
citizens, therefore
Be it resolved, That we, the
people of Jackson, in mass meet.
ing assembled, hereby pledge
ourselves to use every means in
our power to apprehend and
bring the guilty to justice. Be it

What Democratic Oficials of Knox County
Say. Have They Done Their Duty?
From the Rockland Courier Gazette
A recent issue of the Boston Herald
contained several columns of enter
views" with Maine citizens, addressed
to the discussion of the well-knoWn
question, SIS Prohibition d failure?"
The interviews were reported by the
Herald's correspondents throughout
the State In each case the person is
quoted only briefly, and as usual the
result settles nothing conclusively, for
the opinions vary to all points of the
compass, shifting through every shade
of belief from the enthusiastic endorser
of the law to the man who sees nothing
| but evil in its maintenance upon the
statute books. This is a thing we are
all very familiar with. What furnishes
some interest in the list of score or so
of Rockland gentlemen whose opinions
are given with the usual variations)
are the reported views of three promin-
ent officials, appearing as follows:
Mayor Rodney l. Thompson--It
comes nearer to being failure than it
does to being success. Yes, l think
| it is failure.
A. j. Tolman, sheriff Of Knox county
i SllOult say IL W do q 1dllulC.
| Luke A Spear, city marshal-Pro-
hibition in Maine is a failure, in my
opinion.
Pretty unanimous, this. In section
G5 of chapter % of the revised statutes
(this is the chapter containing the pro-
visions of what is known as the Maine
Law we read:
The mayor =. and constables . :.
in every city E. i. shall make com
plant and prosecute all violations OF
this chapter, and promptly enforce the
| laws against drinking houses.
Constable" in the above citation
means also city marshal. We quote
| from section SO:
Sheriffs =. shall diligently and
faithfully inquire into all violations OF
law :. and particularly the law
against illegal sale of Intoxicating llq-
uors, and the keeping of drinking
houses and tipping shops.
| 1t will be observed that the law is not
intended to be construed according to
the personal views or political leaning
of the official who has taken his oath to
enforce it. The word is not may" but
shall enforce. The three leading Demo
cratic officials in Knox county are
cordially unanimous in branding the
prohibition law as failure. So would
every other law be if they did no more
for it's enforcement than they do for
this one.

DO NOT NEGLECT THIN BLOOD
1t Means an Anaemic Condition Which Is
Always Dangerous.
Taken in Time Anaemia is Readily Durable
but it is a Disease Which Gradually Pro-
crosses Toward the Incurable.

Anaemia, or poverty of the blood, is
recognized by the characteristic symptoms
of lauguor, paleness of lips, cheeks and
gums, dull eyes, loss of appetite, shortnesS
of breath and palpitation OF the heart upon
the slightest eXertion. If neglected the
disease slowly and gradually progresses I'M
til hope of recovery is gone. But taken IN
time the disease is readily durable, the
specific being tonic medicine which IN
creases the number of red blo0d-c0rpuscleS
thus enabling the blood to carry the LIE
giving oxygen to all tissues of the body.
Such a tonic is Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.
These pills have had unbounded success in
curing this stubborn disease because OF this
wonderful property. The cure of anaemia
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills is as certain as
anything in medical science.
Mrs. Clair Kellay, of 43 Colvln street,
Battle Greek, Mich, whose husband is an
engineer on the Grand Trunk Railway,
running between Battle Creek and Chicago,
has recently been cured of anaemla and
tells of her case as follows
81 am only too glad to tell what Or.

palpitation of the heart and a dull, heavy
headache. My feet were cold, there were
sharp pains in my limbs and l grew very

year but grew no better. DR.. Williams

A helpful booklet ''Diseases of the Blood
giving more information about anaemia will
be sent free upon request. II you are
suffering from impoverished blood you can
not afford to wait another day before giving
DR.. Williams Pink Pills a thorough trial.
They are for sale by all druggists, or will be

WEDDING BELLS.

sentiment prompted the selection of ''Bun-
ker Hill Day" for the marriage celebration,
in Brookline, Mass, of Addie Clark Broth
ers and Abner Lowell Kittredge. The
bride is daughter of the Revolution many
times over all four of her great-grandfath-
ers having fought in the Revolutionary
War, and one of them, Phineas Warren,
being a near relative of Dr. Joseph Warren
of Bunker Hill fame. The groom, who
comes of one of the oldest and weathiest
families of Lowell, is prominent and we'll
TODD business man in that city. The we'd
ding, which was very pretty affair and
one of the social events Of the season, took
place at the home of the brides sister, Mrs.
Charles F. Atkinson of Fuller street, Brook
line. All the arrangements for the wedding
were planned and carried out by Mrs. AT
kinson herself, who is better known to the
public at large as Miss Clark, head of The
&. NJ. Clark Publishing Company, Boston,
and who enjoys the unique distinction of
being the only woman book publisher in the
world. The story of her daring start and
phenomenal success in the publishing busl-
ness reads like fairy tale, but the manner
in which she has surmounted difficulties
with which few women could cope, shows
that the conquering blood of her ancestors
flows in her veins. Miss Clark and Mrs.
kittredge are natives of the FINE Tree
State, where their mother, Mrs. Ellen Clark,
still lives on the old homestead at Unity.
The guests included the most prominent
society people of Brookline, and the we'd
ding gifts were numerous and costly. The
bridal itinerary will include tour to the
quaint old city of Quebec and Other parts
of Canada. After October LIST Mr.. and
Mrs. Kittredge will be at home to their
friends at their home on Myrtle street,
Lowell, Mass.
HILLs-BATEMAN. Miss Mary Elizabeth
Bateman, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam f. Bateman of 90 Water street, Wake
field, Mass, and Eugene Leroy Hills of Bel
fast, were married June 18th at the home of
the BRIDES parents by Rev Hugh A. Heath,
pastor of the Baptist church. There were
no attendants. The wedding and reception
was attended by only the immediate rela-
tives of the bride and groom. The bridal
tour will be made in an auto to the home of
the groom, where they will reside.
MARKs-BOwDEN. A very pleasant we'd
ding took place at North Castine WedneS
day evening, June 10th, at the home of J.
Wesley BoWden, when his daughter, Ruth l..
Bowden, was married to William V. Marks
of West Penobscot. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr.. Hanscome of the
Methodist church. Ice cream and cake
were served and while the guests were en-
joyng those delicacies they suddenly found
that bride and groom had vanished
