.FAULrLESS PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress and
Indigestion so Perfect.

a scientific prescription for dyspep-
STA and put UP III small tablet form ana
called Mi-o-na is making thousands
of quick ara lasting cures throughout
America.
There IS TO stomach disease (even
catarrr CT the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and Bowditch,
Webster Il Co, have so much faith in
Mi-o-na for stomach disorders of all
kinds that they will refund your mon
ey if it does not cure.
Mi-o-na, the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach, .heIching of gas.
distress after eating, heartburn, bilious
ness and nervousness.
It is well worth a trial by any read
er of the Journal who suffers from any
stomach disturbance. 1t contains in
gradients that not only give relief but
that act on the stomach so beneficial
~ that in a short time the f1abby. tired
out walls of the stomach regain their
strength and activity.
Try Mi-o-na for week: misery will
change to happiness: despair to hope,
dull eyes to bright and you viii your
self wonder why you suffered so long
with such a remarkable prescription
at hand.
And only so cents for a large box
at leading druggists everywhere.

ONE SUCCEEDS, OTHER FAILS.
New York Man Kills Himself, But
Young Woman is Prevented.

New York, May Cat the same mo-
ment that a young man hurled himself
from the Riverside viaduct over the in
terSection of 129th and Manhattan
streets before daylight today u young
woman attempted to leap from the rec
reation pier, a block away from the
viaduct, into the North river. The man
whose identity has not been established,
was instantly killed by the plunge of
more than 100 feet to the street pave
ment. The young woman, who was
caught before she could leap and who
described herself as Grace Anthony, %
years age, of Brooklyn, insisted that
she did not know the suicide and that
his act had no connection with hers.
In a pocket of the suicide was found
a note addressed to Dearest Lilly" de-
claring his love for ner, that he could
not live without her and expressing his
intention Of killing himself. "In the
great hereafter social position will not
keep us apart" he w1ote, eve will then
all be equal" The note was signed
John
Grace Anthony said she had sought
death because she was alone in the
world and without money The fact
that she IVES well dressed leads the po-
lice to believe there is some mystery
attached to her identity ~.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
Sophomore Freshman Frog Pond
Scrap Took Place Wednesday.

Orono, May 26.-(SpeciaD.-Th an
nual SOPHOMORE Freshmen Frog Pond
Scrap at the University of Maine was
held on the banks of the Saltwater
river on Wednesday evening. This is
the last scrap of the year and the
Freshmen from now on have all the
privileges of the Sophomores.
AS usual the Freshmen met on the
campus and marched in q body to the
field OF battle where their friends the
Sophomores were waiting with open
arms to meet them. At signal from
the upper claSsmen the 1912 men moved
dewn the bank towards the Sophs and
in one moment the calm surface of the
Frog pond was the center of a mass
Of arms and legs as both Sophomores
and Freshmen clasped in each others
arms sank below the cold water of the
pond. 1t was a battle royal from be-
ginning TO end but one in which it
was impossible to pick the winner. 1t
is safe to say however that not one
member of either class came out with
dry clothes.
The class contests between 1911 and
1912 during the past year are as fol-
lows: Flag Rush, won by 1911; Base
Ball, won by 1911; Foot Ball, won by
1912; Debate, won by 1912; Track, won
by 1911; Freshmen Banquet. won by
1912.

immediate vicinity is the old Kennebec
Journal office. Beyond the Journal Of
flee was a rassagaway to the river and
then came another blacksmith shop and
several small dwelling houses. Further
up the road was Bucks carriage shop
and Waldron's ship chandler concern
at which many of the schooners which
came to Augusta in those days secured
their fittings. The next building was
occupied by Bartlett & Hartwell, who
handled what We're then known as wet
groceries, by wholesale. Tom Smiths
store was the last building on the right
before coming to Market square. In
the background can be seen what sew
eral who have looked at the picture
judged to be MeoEan Hall, but IS Me-
oman Hall was not built until two
years later according to Norths his
tory, another guess was allowed and
that was in favor of Darby hall, which
was standing at the time the picture
was taken.
The most noticeable feature to be
seen in the picture is the unevenness
and many different styles exhibited in
the roofs of the various buildings on
Water street. At the time the picture
was taken Augusta had been city
but two years and it's population was
but 1925, over 1000 less than at the
present time. The following year, 1858,
the city was visited by fire and later
in 1865 by a still more disastrous one
and many of the buildings seen in the
picture We're destroyed by one or the
other of the two big fires.

A reproduction Of an old photograph
of Water street taken about 1852 viii
give the Journal readers of today some
idea of how the section of the street in
the vicinity of the famous Rines hill
crossing looked over Il half century
ago.
In the place of the paved roadway
and concrete sidewalks Of today a dirt
road and gravel sidewalks are seen in
the picture. In the foreground at the
left surrounded by an old fashioned
picket fence such as was frequently
seen up to % years ago was Il large
two story .iwclling house then occu-
pied by John Trussell. The first set of
steps beyond the picket fence led to the
house OF Deacon John Means on Rines
hill and the set of steps nearer the
mouse to another residence on the hill
occupied by Brooks Ormsby. The re
frgerator Of Swift & Co., stands at the
pre- sent time upon the site Of the house
then occupied by Mr. Trussell.
At the crossing itself there does not
appear to have been any house for the
gate tender and the only safeguard for
foot passengers ana teams noticeable in
the photograph was a sign in large let
tiers affixed to a post and extending APP
parently completely across the street:
Railroad Crossing, Look Out For The
Engine While The Bell Rings"
Beyond the Trussell house was the
supply shop Of the Portland & kenne
bee Railroad, which at that time had
not extended its tracks beyond Angus

only 20 and Sure She Is Not the &c.
Years Missing Sister.

Browniield. Me, May 25.-Mrs Har-
~ Barton of East Boston. who is WIS.,
ting relatives here, was seen Wednes-
day and asked if she was the woman
who had brother living at st. John,
named John Norton, whom she had
not seen, according to news dispatches
from st. John, for Sc years Mrs. Bar
ton laughed and said that there must
be some mistake about it, as she is on
ly 2? years old.
She said that her husband is a fire
man on the towboat Orion of Boston,
which is now at sea, and that he had
been at St John. but she had no broth
er living there that she knew any,
thing about. Mrs. Barton said that
she mas two brothers who live in King
field
There is no other woman in Brown
field by the name of Barton, and it
would appear that the facts as given
in the st. John dispatch are errone-
Gus.

ia. On the corner of Court street
Moody's bakeshop is noticeable in the
picture. and then a row of several small
buildings occupying the site of the
present Fuller Holway Co, block. Pass
ing Wendenburg's variety store and the
old kenI.ebec House the pedestrian of
that day would come to Market square,
which presented a somewhat different
appearance from today on account of
the uneven line of the buildings sew
eral of which projected into Water
street. Beyond Winthrop street were
John McArthur's grocery store, John
Adams butcher shop, the Franklin
House, John Wheeler's store and e. s.
Lanes barber shop. On the corner OF
Oak street was Merrill & Barton's dry
goods store with the Good TempIars'
hail overhead. j. Frank Pierce, who
has very vivid recollection Of the ap-
pearance of tho street at that time
says that as he remembers it the en-
trance to the Good TemplarS' hall was
on Oak street. In the background of
the picture and considerably further up
the street, near the site occupied by the
COny House at the present time was
the old Stanley House.
The first building to be seen on the
right IN the picture and against which
the wood is piled is the old Portland &
Kennebec Paint Shop. Beyond are to
be seen the blacksmith and carriage
shops then operated by Ben Morse, and
the most prominent building in the
group the roof of which rises consd-
erably above the other buildings in it's
