STURGIS MEN DEFENDED.
A. H. Newbert Contends that Penobscot
County Reaps Benefit from their Work.

BANGOR. Me-, Nov. 10. Albert H.
Newbert of the sturgis deputies working
in Penobscot county has issued a state
ment to the State papers which have di-
lated upon the expense of the enforce
ment of the liquor law by these deputies
and charges unfair criticism, inasmuch
as but one side has been stated, and while
the debit footings have been published no
credit is mentioned.
Mr.. Newbert claims that not only is
the commission self-supporting, but is a
money making proposition. That is, if
all the fines were collected from convic-
tons secured by the deputies, the amount
would be nearly three times the expense
Of the work
MIR. Newbert says that wide circulation
has been given to the statement that the
expense Of the deputies in this county for
September was 81, SIS, while the total ex-
pense was really 81, 149, as shown by
statements rendered. Instead of 16 dep
uties working there are but 10. During
September the deputies secured convic-
lions in 40 cases in which fines of 50, 600
were imposed, In many of these appeals
were entered, but $500 was paid.
Since the commissioners began work in
this county convictions were secured in
1872 cases, carrying fines amounting to
SIS, 200, besides several Jail sentences,
nearly enough to pay the entire expense
of all the Sturgis deputies in Maine. Of
this amount So, $50 has been paid and the
other cases appealed.
Mr. Newbert calls the attention of the
people to the fact that judgment has been
returned in GA appealed cases which
would yield $1,000. Of los capiases
placed in the hands of the Penobscot
county sheriff to serve, Mr.. Newbert
says not man has been brought into
court. In addition there are the pros
pective fines upon contingent prosecution
on other counts of those held on search
and seizure and of the value of seized
liquors to be re-distiled into alcohol, and
of the sale of vessels and packages, all
making the net gain to the county about
three dollars to every one paid for the eX-
pense of the deputies.
He says that the statement has been
made that not one dollar in fines has been
received by the State treasurer, which is
not strange as according to the law the
fines shall go to the county and the coun-
ty pay the expenses. The law which
specified that one-half should go to the
State has been repealed.
Mr.. Newbert says that the deputies
can go no further than securing evidence
and convictions, which they are doing
with great regularity, but only small
proportion of convicted liquor dealers
actually pay their fines, as action against
them is not carried out by county officers.

FLORIDA'S INLAND CANAL
From the St. Johns River to Miami

FROM lEe 81. JOHN hlVeI u VlldIIll
The canal of the Florida Coast Line
Canal and Transportation Company from
the st. Johns river to Miami, will be
opened for traffic by the first Of January.
Seven dredges are now at work and
specifications and plans have been drawn
for a new dredge. There are now about
three miles of solid cut to connect the
waterway. Two floating bucket dredges
and one suction dredge are working on
the mouth of Pablo creek, on the st.
Johns river, while two land excavators
and one dipper dredge are working from
the Miami end. All the dredges are doing
excellent work, and unless unforeseen con-
ditions arise, the long inside route to
Miami will be completed the first of the
new year.
This will enable yachts from New ork
to come all the way South by the inside
route from New York to Miami, except
from Beaufort, N. c., to Georgetown.
The projectors of this inside waterway
have been patiently at work for years to
accomplish this, and owners of yachts
who have been watching the progress of
the work for these years with great in
terest, will probably avail themselves of
the opportunity Of making the trip South
to Miami in their yachts. Not many
years hence there will be an inside water
way stretching from New York to Miami,
which will make Miami the most popular
yachting center in all the Southland
Later, when the government takes up
the task of building hard-surface road
from Washington to Miami, another at
traction will be added to this southern
most city in the United States. The
Jacksonville Metropolis.

it and was pulled toward land, only to
throw up his hands within few rods of

scious when pulled out the man was soon
revived.

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE.
Read What Your Druggists Say About Oil
of Wintergreen Compound.

Druggists VIM. 0. Poor & Son submit the
following to the readers of The Journal:
For several years we have announced, with
our recommendation that we had found posi-
tive cure for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil
of wintergreen compounded with other heal
ing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people right in this
town who have eczema, and still have never
tried this remedy.
We have therefore, arranged with the D. D.
D Laboratories of Chicago for special offer
of a trial bottle at % cents instead of the $1.00
bottle as regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with our recon-
mendation and assurance that just as as
the patient washes his itching skin, this mild
liquid will take the itch away instantly.

The Voracious Dogfsh.

The statement in the annual report of
the Massachusetts commission of fisheries
and game that every dogfish eats daily
from one to five pounds of commercially
valuable food fish, worth at the lowest
wholesale rate cent pound, calls at
tention to the urgent necessity for some
measure to exterminate the dogfsh.
Judging from the stories some stout
fishermen tell, if they could only be in
duced to direct their energies against
the dogfish the pest might be wiped out
in year. -Boston Globe.
