Ready for Final Effort.

With the disappearance of Bartlett
turned to the problem before me. This
was that for which 1 had worked for 80
years, for which I had lived the simple
life; for which 1 had conserved all my
energy on the upward trip; for which
1 had trained myself as for a race, crush
ing down every worry about success.
In spite of my years, I felt in trim
fit for the demands of the coming days
and eager to be on the. trail.
AS for my party, my equipment, and
my supplies, I was in shape beyond my
most sanguine dreams of earliest years.
My party might be regarded as an
ideal, which had now come to realization
as loyal and responsive to my will as
the fingers of NV right hand

All Followed Him BIindIv.

All had blind confidence so long as
I was with them, and gave no thought
for the morrow, sure that whatever hap
pened 1 should somehow get them back
to land But I dealt with the party
equally. I recognized that all it's i'm
petus conferred in me, and that whatever
pace set it would make good. If any
one played out. I would stop for a short
time.
I had no fault to find with the condi-
tons. My dogs were the best, the pick
of 122 with which we left Columbia. AL
most all were powerful males, hard as
nails, in good flesh, but without a super
fiuous ounce, and, what was better yet.
they were all in good spirits.
My sledges, how that the repairs were
completed, were in good condition. My
supplies were ample for 40 days, and,
with the reserve represented by the dogs
themselves. could be made to last 80.
At a little after midnight of April 1,
after few hours of sound sleep, hit
the trail, leaving the others to break
up camp and follow.
AS I climbed the pressure ridge back
of our igloos I set another hole in my
belt, the third since I started. Every
man and dog of us was lean and fiat
bellied as a hoard and az hard

Men All Tried and True.

Four of them possess the technique of
dogs. sledges, ice, and cold as their heri-
tage. Two Of them, Hansen and Ootam,
were my companions to the farthest point
three years before. Two others, Eginwuk
and Sigloo, were in Clark's division,
which had such a narrow escape at that
time, and now were willing to go any
where with my immediate party, and
willing to risk themselves again in any
supporting party
The fifth was young man who had
never served before in any expedition,
but who was, if possible, even more
willing and eager than the others for
the princely gifts-a boat, a rifle, a shot
gun, ammunition, knives, etc., which 1
had promised to each of them who
reached the pole with me; for he knew
that these riches would enable him to
wrest from a stubborn father the girl
whose image filed his hot young heart

CATARRH CURED
No Cure, No Pay, is a Most Generous
Offer


Offer.
To get an antiseptic strong enough to kill
catarrh germs and not destroy the tissues of
the membrane at the same time, has been a
problem which was never solved until the dis
covery of Hyomei pronounced High-o-mel.
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus, the
most powerful yet healing antiseptic known.
Breathe it through the inhaler over the inflam-
ed and germ-ridden membrane four or five
times day, and in few days the germs will
disappear.
The infiamed condition will CO. too, and the
snuffiing, hawking and offensive breath, and
the discharge of mucous and crusts in the nose
will cease.
Then why should any catarrh sufferer hest
tate, when A. A. Howes & Co. has such faith in
Hyomei that they offer to return yourmoney if
a fair trial Hyomei does not cure catarrh
A complete Hyomei outfit, including the in
haler, costs $1.00, and extra bottles, if after
wards needed, cost but so cents. Hyomei also
cures asthma, Group, sore throat, coughs, colds
or grip.

The legislature, the Grand Army of the
Republic and the schools of Maine will
observe Lincoln day, February 18th, with
appropriate exercises. The Senate and
House will observe the event in the
House of Representatives Friday even
ing, February 18th, and the committee
has invited as speakers Gen. J. L. Cham
berlain of Brunswick, who received the
surrender of Lees army, President Hyde
of Bowdoin college, Chief Justice Emery
Of the Supreme court, President Deasy
of the Maine senate, and former Attorney
General Hamlin, the son of the vice presi-
dent of the United States when Lincoln
was the president. 1t was hoped to have
an address from Governor Fernald, but he
had already accepted an invitation to
speak in Portland. There will be music
by an orchestra and it is intended to
make the affair notable one in Augusta.
The schools of Maine will no doubt act
upon State Superintendent Smiths sug-
gestion regarding the celebration of Lin
coin day, February 18th. There is no
lack of material for the exercises of the
day and no lack of inspiration in the ma
terial for the young Americans who take
part. Superintendent Knowlton Of this
city tells us that preparations will be
made for fitting celebration of the day
in the schools of Belfast. The Grand
Army Posts are already moving in the
matter. In Ellsworth w. H. H. Rice
Post has requested that all citizens join
in the observance of the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth Of Abraham Lin
coin on February 18th. 1t is proposed to
have public exercises in Hancock hall in
the evening, to consist of music and short
addresses by local speakers and any other
features that may be deemed appropri-
ate. At the annual banquet of the Lin
coin Club of Portland, February 18th, the
speakers will be Hon. Amos L. Allen,
Hon. Albert Foster Dawson, represent
ing the I'd Iowa congressional district;
Hon. Ralph D. Cole, representing the
9Th Ohio congressional district; Gov. Fer
maid and Mayor Leighton. 1t is expected
that it will be the most notable event in
the series of celebrations of the birthday
of Abraham Lincoln in Portland

1.-THE play, remember, pleased not the mil

peare
This quotation was called to mind by
an acknowledgment in the Bangor Com
mercial of the receipt of sample of
caviare from the Winnipeg, Canada,
Free Press. The Commercial is evidently
to be placed with "the Million" as it
saws that "Caviare is the roe of sturgeon
prepared as a table delicacy, too rare to
be known by the generality of people,
and the flavor of which would not be
relished by an uneducated palate" The
roe is prepared by sailing and smoking,
and caviare is known both as an appe-
tier and thirst promoter. 1t memory
is not at fault it was introduced as an
appetizer at one of the Maine Press ban
uuets at the Columbia in Portland. 1t may
generally be found in the German restau-
rants of the large cities, where it is served
in connect ton with beer The roe of other
fish than the sturgeon is esteemed as a
delicacy by many, and those who have
not eaten broiled shad roe, split oper
and literally bespread with gilt-edge but.

sprinkle of lemon juice, have something
to look forward to. That caviare from
Lake Winnipeg evidently went to the
wrong place.

We notice that the York County Chill
dren's Aid Society has been organized in
Saco and incorporated under the laws of
Maine. The Boston Globe says it is the
FIRST society in Maine in aid of children,
which is very wide of the truth, as the
Children S Aid Society of Maine was or
gained and incorporated in 1898, and
opened the Girls Home in this city in
1895. This similarity of names is likely
TO cause confusion and should have been
avoided in organizing the new society.

The officers of Harvest Moon Grange, No 81,
Thorndike were installed January 9th by Dis
trict Deputy Edward Evans, assisted by the
Lady Assistant, Mrs. Olive Hurd Harvest
Moon departed from its usual line at its last
election and elected all lady officers. Whether
this fact caused brother Evans to do his pretti-
est we cannot say, but sure it is that he did
the work in very impressive and perfect
manner. This grange is one of the old, reliable
ones. Most OF Its members are Staunch and
true to the order. During the year 1908 they
have paid debt of 500 on their hall, paid
over $50 current expenses, and have tidy lit
tie sum in the treasury now. At first the
brothers were little exercised as to being under
petticoat rule in the grange, as well as at
home; but as usual they have submitted kindly
to the majority, and predict year of pros
perity and sunshine during 1909.
Granite Grange, North Searsport, has adopt
ed the following resolutions of respect:
Whereas the great Master of the Universe
has again taken from our grange a highly
respected and beloved sister, Nina Clark; there

Resolved, That in the death of sister Nina
Clark we have lost a worthy member and we
mourn for one who was worthy of our respect
and regard.
Resolved, That in this sad hour of their
affection we have sincere desire to try and
comfort them and extend to the family and
relatives our heartfelt sympathy. Yet but a
little while and earth rejoicing shall find again
her leaves and beauteous bloom, And We, o
stricken ones; shall change your weeping for
songs of joy beyond the churchyard gloom.

WEALTHY TOURIST
ENDS HIS LIFE
Continued from Page One.l

A couple of months ago Mr.. Nichols
arrived her from the mainland and
took apartments at the Hawaiian. He
was accompanied by an attendant, a
young man named Leo Namais. Mr..
Nichols seemed to be a sufferer from
insomnia, and among the various drugs
he took to promote sleep was chloro-
form On arrival here he placed him
self under the care of DR.. Collins, and
to the latter he showed the large bot
tie of chloroform The doctor took
care to get the hostile away from him,
and whenever the patient required
ehloroform the attendant obtained a
dose from d smaller bottle.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Nichols
told his man that he could take the
afternoon off if he wished. The old
mans wishes were law, and the valet
took the afternoon off from three
o clock, returning shortly after six
o clock. A japanese boy, who acted
as assistant TO Namais, was on duty,
watching at the bedroom door to see
that none disturbed the man within
About seven o clock, Namais looked
into the bedroom of Mr.. Nichols and
saw him lying on the bed and noted
that he moved at that time A blanket
was drawn up to his ears and also Gov
cred his feet. Namais did not enter
the room, fearing to disturb his EN-
ployer, who possessed an irascible
temper.
The japanese boy placed a chair Just
outside the door and remained there
until about eleven o. clock, when Namais

returned from an evening stroll. The
boy told him the man had not moved
during the evening. In the meantime
he had communicated with Clerk Brown
of the hotel, and all three entered the
room On throwing back the blanket,
a handkerchief was found covering the
face of the supposed sleeper and the
fumes of chloroform were strong. The
big bottle lay near his nose with the
cork drawn. This bottle had been
hidden by Namais, but during the af-
ternoon, while the boy was absent, Mr.
Nichols had apparently made a search
for it and found it. There was every
indication of a carefully planned de-
termination on the part of the dead
man to take his life, and no post NOR
tenn on the remains was deemed neces-
sary by Coroner Rose.
The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon at three O'Clock from the nm
dertaking parlors of Henry Williams.
The remains are to be cremated. such
instructions having been received from
the nephew of the deceased in New
York, who was notified yesterday by
cable of his uncle's death A. l.. c.
Atkinson, the attorney, has charge of
the affairs Of the deceased.
Mr. Nichols is believed to have been
wealthy. His effects show that he had
a letter of credit for a large amount.
and the stubs in his check book show
that while in San Francisco he paid
out large sums to the st. Francis Hotel.
As far as known he has been stock
broker IN New York, and is not mar
ried.

other which, however, failed to land.
HIS list struck window glass, how
ever, breaking it. Buddhu was prompt
ly arrested and taken TO the station
house.
Yesterday forenoon three corporals
appeared in the receiving station and
stated that they had been sent in from
Fort Shafter to take Buddhu to the
post where his case would be attended
to by the military authorities. As this
has been custom in many cases where
with a different watch was successful.
But they shouted before they were
out of the woods. The party went
around the corner where they talked
and Dragged how they had fooled the
police officers, saying it was just 3
bluff on their part to get Buddhu out
of jail. They were telling Buddhu how
1t all happened, but standing nearby
them all this time was Deputy Sheriff
Rose. He listened to the entire ex
PLANTATION, and then suddenly broke into
the fun by rearresting Buddhu and TAX
ing him back to the station Fort
Shafter headquarters were telephoned
to and the officer in charge was asked
whether a detail of men had been or
dered to bring Buddhu to the post The
reply was negative one. Later on
detail was sent in by Major Dunning.
The police have the names Of the
non-eoms and it is probable that action
IN their eases will be taken at once.
