The Correct Time

To stop cough or cold is just as soon as it starts--then there will be no danger of pneumonia or consumption. Just few doses of Ballard s Hore- hound Syrup taken at the start will stop the cough. If it has been running on for sometime the treatment will be longer, but the cure is sure.

LAST SUNDAYS RAINBOW.

One of the most brilliant and ng-continued
rainbows that ever saw marked the close of
last Sundays storm The wind had come
around, by way of the SOUTH and the weather
had changed from southeast gale, with rain,
to northeast squalls and showers. At about
$40 o'clock p. m. a rainbow began to appear,
and at SIG it made complete semi-circIe, the
ends appearing to reach almost to our feet
The rainbow colors could be distinctly seen
between us and clump of bushes not forty
rods away, while the other end became lost in
trees still nearer. The colors, throughout the
whole length of the bow, were very brilliant,
and the gradations from one into another were
most beautiful. This condition lasted nine
minutes, when small patch of blue sky appear
ed in the track of the bow, thus causing a
break. The brilliant coloring Of the bow re-
mained six minutes longer, after which it faded
perceptibly, and totally disappeared four min
utes later The bow was thus visible twenty
five minutes or more, was complete nine min
utes and held the briliancy of its colors fifteen
minutes. ]. S. F.

NOT A MURDER.
Missing Yachtman Arrives Home.

James R. Hawes Of Stockton Springs, a sailor,
came ashore from yacht in Rockland harbor
Tuesday afternoon and walked up Sea street
with the steward. The latter went to McGrath's 3
store to make some purchases and the two men
separated, agreeing to meet again at 1.30 p. m.
sight As completely as though the earth had
swallowed him and then closed its jaws.
When due amount Of search failed to locate
the man the police were notified of the mys-
terious affair. Under the direction of City
Marshal Hix, who at once detailed extra men, q
thorough and systematic search was made in
the tenderloin district. where it was thought
that he had been drugged and robbed of quite
large sum of money which was known to have
been in his possession the night before.
The affair during Thursday assumed all the
features Of a sensation, and search was made
for the body as well as for the man in the flesh.
The sailors father, II. H. Hawes, and another
son, arrived from Stockton Springs during the
day, and were well satisfied that the police had
done everything in their power.
At 4.3O in the afternoon Mr.. Halves, the father,
had just formulated an advertisement for The
Courier-Gazette offering reward of 500 for
information as to the missing sailors where
abouts, when the marshals telephone call sound
ed, and Mr.. Hawes was notified that Stockton
Springs wished to talk with him.
Five minutes later he rushed forth from the
office exclaiming that his son had arrived home
and was very sick. Mr.. Hawes and Marshal Hix
alternated in an attempt to learn the details,
but the telephone did not work satisfactorily,
and the anxious father shouted that he would
start for home with all possible speed. Ray
mond kittredges automobile was chartered for
the trip ,and Marshal Hix went along to con-
tinue the investigation.
The sailor was found to be suffering from a
bad cold. He had high fever and was so IRA
tional that his progress after parting with the
steward could not be clearly learned. From
Rockland he went to Camden and purchased at
HaskelPs store brand new suit Of clothes,
together with complete suit of underwear,
hat, shoes, and dress suit case.
The night of the same day on which he had
vanished in Rockland he made his appearance at
Belfast, stating that he had been in trouble with
the mate OF his yacht, and wished to obtain a
job A position in the Belfast shoe factory was
secured for him. He had paid his hotel board
week in advance but on Thursday he boarded
the river steamboat and went to Stockton. His
sister CHANGED to be at the wharf and together
they walked to the house. He talked so dis
connectedly that she saw something was wrong,
and when they arrived home he became very i'll.
What happened to the man after the steward
parted with him will probably remain mystery.
but his stay in Rockland was necessarily so
brief that he could have met no harm here

Crop Yields Increase.

WASHINGTON, September 5. Soils of the United
States are not wearing out and the crop
yields are rather increasing than decreasing
These facts are demonstrated in a bulletin
shortly to be issued by the bureau of soils Of the
agricultural department, prepared by Prof.
Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau. The
bulletin deals exhaustively with the yields of
crops from 1867 to 1906 inclusively. The bull
letn shows an increase in all cereal crops
throughout the United States for the past three
or four decades. The bulletin also gives the
average by States for the production Of wheat
per acre from 1866 to 1907. These figures
appear among the averages: "Vermont, 1876
bushels; Maine, 1866 bushels"

Labor Conditions in New England,

Boston, September 5. Labor day finds labor
conditions all over New England the most pros
porous in many years. The working hours have
been shortened, wages average higher. employ
ment is steadier, the number of men idle as the
result of labor troubles is smaller, the number
of firms running straight union shops is steadily
increasing and wage earners are more thorough
ly organized than ever before.
This was the concensus of opinion among the
prominent leaders in New England today. The
officers of the Central Labor Union Of Boston
alone stated that their organization has almost
$1,000 members in good standing, belonging to
1888 local unions.
