Two Augusta fishermen who were
over at Togus pond a few days ago af-
ter pickerel have decided. from an eX-
perieuce which was theirs that it is
possible to learn something every day.
One of the fishermen, desiring to keep
his fish alive. cut a trench in the ice
several inches deep and then drove his
chsel through the remaining thick
ness of the ice to let the water into
the trench. and into this they threw
their fish as they were caught The
scheme worked all right at first, but
after fishing for some time and placing
number of pickerel in the trench
they noticed that their catch did not
seem to count up as it should. and on
investigation found that the chisel had
made a larger hole than they had
thought. and that with the exception
CT few of the larger fish caught. the
others had on being put into the trench
gone down through the hole and had
rejoined their kind in the depths OF
the pond.

BOTTLES, ETC., ARE EVIDENCE.
Rescript by Judge Savage in Getcheli-
Page Seizure Case.

In the case of Bernard L. GetchCll
VS.. r. l.. Page, ct ais. the law court
has handed down an interesting re-
script, which clearly defines the
amount Of collateral that enforcement
commissioners may take in liquor
raid. This case will be remembered as
the one in which Mr.. Gctchell, an Au-
EuSta druggist, proceeds against f. L..
Page, an enforcement deputy. and 9TH
er3 for taking from his place of bust
ness during a raid for Intoxicating IL
QuorS. a collection of other articles,
such as bottles, cork shoppers, etc.
They we're taken from the place in two
baskets and it will be noted that the
court allows damages In the sum of
81 for the baskets taken. holding that
the other articles were we'll and rca-
sOnably taken and useful as evidence.
The full text Of the rescrpt follows:

1t is understood that the Augusta
Boari Of Education may occupy the
Office in the City building which had
heretofore been occupied by the late
Judge A. G. Andrews of the Augusta
municipal court. The members of the
board are DESTROYS Of having an Office
in the building. as it would seem that
they should have, being a city institu-
ton, and the occupancy of the Office
mentioned by the board is looked upon
with favor. One of the members of
the board, in speaking of the matter
few days ago. expressed the opinion
that the headquarters of the board
should be located in the City building
rather than elsewhere as at present
and for which the city has to pay rent.
He also suggested that in case the
office referred to might possibly not be
ayaila BILE for the use Of the board. the
Board of Registration. which only has
use tor an Office for a short time each
year, might be given the use Of the
a,dermen's room or the room of the
lower branch for such time as they
would need it. and might keep the
books of the board in the vault on that
floor. This would leave the room now
occupied by the board vacant for the
use of the Board of Education. or the
Water District might be given the use
OF that room and the Board OF Educa-
ton move into the quarters now occu-
pied by the Water District.

MAKE THE STOMACH WORK.
Indigestion Can Mover be Cured by
MoIIycoddIing.

Don't try to cure your stomach
trouble by coaxing. fussing, dieting and
mollycoddling.
Make the organ work If it cannot
take care Of the food you eat without
complaints such as flatulence, indiges +.
ton, headaches. and the feeling of full
ness or distress, make it's muscles work
by using Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
These little tablets, taken with regu-
larity for few days, will soon
strengthen the muscles and walls of the
in working to digest the food you eat,
and there will be no further suffering
with indigestion, bloating, flatulence or
distress after eating.
The time to treat a disordered or
weakened stomach is when you begin
to suspect that you have indigestion.
for the suspicion will turn to certainty
very soon. The heartburn. the
fiatulence. the coated tongue and
heavy and dull feeling after eating that
come occasionally after you eat too
much Of something that does not agree
with you, will show themselves after
nearly every meal unless the stomach
is put to work with Mi-o-na.
There is no need of special dieting if
you set the stomach at work with
Mi-o-na. Eat what you want and
when you want it and believe that you
are going to be we'll and you will see
relief from the first does and complete
cure in few days.
Try a 5O-cent box of Mi-o-na on

of money back if it does not do all that
is claimed for It.

PEOPLES INSTITUTE
Library Opens Again To-day After
 Welcome Alterations.

The Peoples Institute library, which was closed the day before Christmas will again be open to it's members this morning. During the two weeks the library has been closed much needed alterations have been made, and the library of to-day is much different from that of so short time ago. The shelf room has been made much less stuffy than it was, under the new ar
 rather than stack library. Power ful lncandescent gas lights have been put in and there is not nook in the entire shelf room that the light does not penetrate. The walls have been calcimined, which makes the room still lighter. The reading rooms are untouched. All the old books and books pertaining to subjects little studied are located on the third floor. The justification and cataloguing of the books in the Institute library is original. After many years exper- fence in library work the librarian of the Institute library w. A. Borden, came to the conclusion that it would be simpler to classify books by their contents rather than by authors To this end all the detective stories are grouped together The historical nov els form another one, war stories still another, and so on. MT Borden says that good many of the older books are being read. and he attributed it largely to this method of grouping.
