had for the winter.

The camp on Saturday noon to come
10 the village to do some shopping.
About O'Clock In the evening they
started to return to the camp, but
owing to the high winds and binding
snow they lost their way in crossing
Jackman Lake and wandered around
all night. One In an exhausted con
dition found his way into III. p. Nc
Kenney's yard, Sunday morning at
$40. AS soon as he came i'll sight OF
the house he fell but was seen by mr
Mckinney who went to bis aid, TAX
ing him into the house where every
thing possible was done for his com
tort. His ears and hands were badly
frozen. AS soon as he was able &c
ialk he told Mr. McKenney of his two
friends that were somewhere on the
lake and at once a searching party
was formed. One of the other two
reached the camp between 10 and II
O'Clock, but the other it is feared has
persisted as no trace of him has beer

II rheumatism continues to spread as it

ness OF this disease is apparent on every side
Of US. Almost nine out OF ten OF the Grip
pies one meets had their attliction brought on
by Rheumatism How many thousands
more there are that are hopeessly ed-rden
and whom we never see. Rheumatism, from
the very nature Of the disease, can never cure
itself and if neglected is bound to grow
worse rather than better II you ever have
any twinges Of Rheumatism, 60 to the drug
gst and get bottle Of Uric-O, the wonder
full new Rheumatic Specific. 1t will cure
you and it is the only treatment in the world
that will cure you permanently and thor
oughly. Uric.O cures by its direct action on
the muscles, blood and kidneys. 1t seeks
out the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid
and drives it from the system and il is only
a treatment Of such nature that will ever
cure Rheumatism. Liniments and plasters
only serve to drive it from one spot to an
other. They never cure Rheumatism, be.
cause it is primarily blood disease, and un-
til the blood is cleared from the poison a
cure cannot take place.
You can test Uric-O free of charge il you

HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED
WHEN BITTEN BY A LARGE
SNAKE.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The
woman promptly tainted and the car,
left to It's own resources, ran into a
stone wall and caused serious acct
dent.
The bite of poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. M. Fishel,
Route No. l., Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
bitten by large snake.
"On August Goth, 1906, was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as last resort used

The First of Its Kind.

The much talked about manslaugh
ter case of the State against F.. b.
Dunbar of Waterville and II. f..
Thayer of Foxcroft commenced Fri
day morning in the superior court at
Augusta before Judge o. @. Hall.
Judge Louis c. Stearns of Bangor,
considered one of the leading attor
neys of the State, is senior counsel
for the defence, associated with him
being Joseph Williamson and Frank
l.. Dutton Of Augusta, in case with
out a parallel in the history of Maine
courts and one that, 1t has been as
serted on good authority, has never
had a parallel in New England. A
brief recital of the facts of this re-
markable case may not be amiss at
this time, just before the commence
ment of legal battle that will prob
ably be one of the hardest fought
fights ever seen in a Maine court of
Justice.
In all accident near Benton station,
Oct. 2, 1907, Frank E. Belanger, brake
man on freight train No. 28, west
bound, was instantly killed. The
other train in the accident was known
as extra work train No. 301, bound
east, II. Il. Thayer engineer and +. B..
Dunbar conductor. Several other
trainmen were seriously injured in
the accident.
In the finding of the railroad COM
missioners the blame is placed direct
ly on Thayer and Dunbar. for they
claim that the men should have
known the position of train No. IS.
The grand jury of the January term
of this court took the matter up and
found true bill against Thayer and
Dunbar When the indictment was
made public it caused a great sensa-
ton throughout Maine.
1t is understood that the railroad
organizations Of which the respond =
ents are members are in the fight,
furnishing funds and other assistance
for the benefit of the indicted men.
Both men are free to go and come as
they please, having given bonds to
appear in court and answer to the
charge against them.
