the street, provided the Maine Cen
trail Railroad will macadamize from
the depot to Court Street, and that
the money be hired by the Selectmen
on the note of the town.
Mr.. George Burns called attention
to The fact tbat the property Of the
Iuttle estate, at the corner of Court
and Cross Streets, would be seriously
affected by the proposed change, on
account of the raise in the grade of
the street, and informed the voters
that damages would be demanded.
{. A. Ross stated that he would claim
no damages for his property. He was
inclined to the opinion that Mr.. Burns
exaggerated the effect of the change
on the Tuttle property.
Articles four and five, relating to
the extension of the South side Gem
etery by acquiring land of a. K. But
Ter for the purpose, either by ex-
change of town lots on Pine Street or
by purchase, were briefly discussed,
the chief consideration being the ex-
istence of springs on the land in ques-
tion, and the possibility of legal
complications through objections of
parties claiming rights in the springs,
the statutes providing that a ceme-

twenty five rods of a dwelling house
or well which is being used, or from
which water is being taken for do
mestic purposes. There seemed to
be some uncertainty as to the ex-
istence of any rights in the springs
by the parties claiming such rights,
it being stated that no such rights
appeared of record. Suggestion was
also made of the value of the land for
purposes of taking gravel and sand
for town uses. Mr.. Parker stated
that the price put by Mr.. Butler on
the land was $3.50, and that he
would allow the town for the Pine
Street lots the sum of $500, if they
desired to turn them in as a part of
the trade.
1t was finally voted that the town
exchange the lots on Pine St. with
Mr.. Butler for a lot adjacent TO the
cemetery, if the selectmen deem it
advisable. 1t appearing that under
this action the town could pay no
"boot," it was voted that the Select
men be authorized TO trade with Mr..
Butler for such a lot adjoining the
cemetery as they deem advisable, if
in their opinion they can trade to the
advantage of the town, and that the
money be raised by loan,
The meeting then adjourned.

At the tuberculosis Congress in
Washington, last week, DR.. Osler was
present, who had made himself fa-
nous by advancing the theory that
persons ought to be chloriformed
after reaching 40 years. Your "Uncle"
Joe Cannon was in the midst of a
speech and made the audience laugh
by turning to DR.. Osler and saying.
doctor Osler, have reached the
age of 81 and shake my fist in your
face"
DR., Osler laughed heartily at this
defy of his old age theory.
Speaking seriously the speaker
hardened back to the days of his
childhood, when science and medicine
was in its infancy, when bath tubs
were almost unheard of, and when
the snow would sift through the
cracks of the clapboards of the
country home and cover those lying
i'll bed before the time for rising
We had plenty of fresh air then on
the Wabash and everywhere on the
frontier before the railroads and we

A monument has just been unveiled
at Andersonville, Ga, to the memory
of the infamous wretch, Henry Wirz,
who during the civil war starved our
Union soldier boys who were pris-
oners of war in Andersonville, a noble
and heroic deed that Southern chival-
ry deems worthy to commemorate in
enduring granted
When COWS were allowed the open
air and exercise, instead of being
constantly confined in close barns, we
didn't hear SO much about tuberculo-
sis and kindred diseases that contain
mate the milk we drink. If the
farmers kept their COWS as they used
to be kept fifty or sixty years ago, the
cattle might be better off. In those
days the practice was to keep them in
the barn only long enough to feed
them The rest of the time they were
allowed to run in the yard, with n
well Uttered open shed to lie in. A
practical farmer, writing to an ex-
change, thinks that if living in the
air is good thing for people with
tuberculosis, there would be less of it
in COWS if they we're not confined in
close barns. L. z. a. Gilbert, of the
Maine Farmer, always advocated Civ
ing cattle plenty of air in winter, as
well as summer.

NO REASON FOR IT.
When Skowhegan Citizens Show
the Certain Way Out.

There can be no just reason Why
any reader of this will continue to
suffer the tortures Of an aching
back, the annoyance Of urinary dis
orders, the dangers Of diabetes of
any kidney ills when relief is so near
at hand and the most positive proof
given that they can be cured. Read
what a Skowhegan citizen says.
Sidney Gilman, SO Main street,
Skowhegan, Me-, says; "Several
years ago used Doau's Kidney Pills
with such satisfactory results that l
gave public statement regarding the
benefit had received. | have had
occasion since to use the remedy
when suffering from lame back and
am glad to say that l received

my believe than ever that Doan's

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent "discoveries" that
oatmeal is the best food i'll the world,
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans cat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof The sturdiest nation
on Garth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be mad
anywhere Quaker Oats is sold in fam
lily size packages at 25c or at 5oc for
the package containing a piece of hne
china. The regular size package sells
at 1Oc. Follow the example OF the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All grocers sell Quaker Oats.

Educational Meeting at Skowhegan.

Arrangements have been perfected
by the Somerset Superintendent and
Teachers Association for an educa-
tional meeting in the municipal build
ing, Skowhegan, on Friday, June 4th,
sessions, morning, afternoon and
evening, it being designed in the

two of the leading educators of our
state.
Specimens of the work in drawing,
manual training, penmanship, arith-
metic, sewing, etc. will be on exhibit
tion at the municipal building during
the day. 1t is earnestly hoped that
the parents and citizens of the town
will avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to see the work done by the chill
whether their money has been wisely
expended. All meetings are open to
the public, no collection or admission
fee, and cordial invitation for all to
attend as much as they may be able.

A reduction in the minimum rate
charged by the American Express Co.
for carrying small packages within
New Hampshire was ordered by the
New Hampshire railroad commission
last week, in response to a petition
presented by the New Hampshire
State board Of trade and number of
subordinate boards of trade. The
rate is ordered reduced on and after
June next from % cents to 10 cents,
the rate which prevailed up to two
years ago. The commission sustains
the charges of the petitioners that the
25c minimum rate is excessive and
exortitant. The ruling does not af-
feet the rate on shipments between
New Hamsphire and any other state.

We are surprised that the Order
of Railway Conductors, at their con-
vention in Boston, forbade the at
tendance of stenographer, engaged
to report it's proceedings, and did it
for the sole reason that he was ne
gro. If that isn't indecent discrimi-
nation, we should like to know what
is. And right in classic, refined Bos-
ton, too! Let US stop talking about
Southern persecution.

Keith's Boston Theatre.

Bert Leslie, who divided honors
with Hattie Williams in "Fluffy Ruff
fes" last season, will be the principal
attraction at Keith's Theatre the
week of May 31st. Mr.. Leslie in his
"Hogan" sketches, with his outland-
ish slang, has always been prime
favorite in vaudeville and he will no
doubt receive a warm reception.
Another popular favorite will be
Stuart Barnes, the monologist who
has been seen at this house before
this season and made big hit.
He who puts on airs only takes off
dignity.

Many are the admirers of Henry
Van Dyke, who have been with him
in thought in his rambles in the Holy
Land, in his varied "Fisherman's
Luck" and his beautiful dreams be-
side the placid waters Of "Little
Rivers" Every bit from his pen is
precious, as notice this little gem en-
titled "Old and New Friends"
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friends, like new made wine,
Age will mellow and refine
Friendships that have stood the test,
Time and change, are surely best.
Brow may wrinkle, hair turn gray,
Friendship never owns decay!
For mid old friends kind and true
We once more our youth renew,
But alas! old friends must die,
New friends must their place supply.
Then cherish friendship In your breast
New is good, but old is best.
Make new friends but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.

The legends thai are beautiful and
immortal are those that we take to
our hearts and homes. In Sunday
school at Pendleton, ILL.,, a teacher
told her pupils the tragic story of
Samson and Delilah. Then she turn
ed to little boy.
"What do you learn, Joe, she said,
from the Sampson storv2"
Now Joe had often had his hair cut
by his mother, who put bowl on his
head. He answered: ''It don't
never pay to have a woman cut a
feller's hairl"

Advancing years, and being unable
to secure competent help on his large
farm, has compelled A. P. Russell OF
West Reeds, to sell his farm and ex-
tensive stock of Jersey cattle. We
can hardly remember the time when
MIR. Russell was not an exhibitor at
the State Fairs, carrying off every
time his full share of the blue
ribbons. But we think it a grave
mistake for this old man to leave the
farms and move to the villages and
cities, You can't transplant an old
tree. 1t won't live. There is no
better place for an old man to spend
the sunset period of his life than on
the farm where the energies of his
youth and manhood were expended.

The State Assessors send out some
gratifying figures from their depart
ment. When the State valuation is
secured it will show an increase.
The returns from the local boards of
assessors of the various towns of the
State are coming in well, about 200
out of the 521 having been received
and so far as the reports have been
received general increase in valu-
alton is indicated. AS the local
boards are allowed until Aug. to
make their returns, it will be seen
that matters along that line are pro-
crossing well. Another report that
is made by the local boards of asses
sors at the same time as the report on
the valuation of their respective
cities, towns and plantations is that
of the number OF deaf and dumb,
blind feeble minded, idiotic and in
sane in those places. These latter
statistic are by the State board re-
ported to the Governor and Council,
but are not made public.
