FISHING IN BELGRADE LAKES.
Hearing of Interest to kennebec Coun
ty Residents Monday Evening.

A hearing of much interest to Ken
ncbeC county residents was held Mon
day evening before the committee or
INLAND fisheries and game, the matter
under consideration being An Act tC
regulate fishing for black bass, white
perch and smelth in the Belgrade chain
of lakes in the counties of Kennebec
and Somerset
The provisions of this act embrace
several distinct fish regulations. One
provision is to make the length OF
bass to be taken II inches, as it for
merry was under an old Private and
Special act, instead of 10 inches as at
present under the general law.
The act also provides that only 1C
white perch and six white bass may
be taken from any lake in the entire
chain during one day. The proponents
argued that visitors to these lakes
make a speciality of taking these two
kinds of fish until there is danger OF
the lakes being depleted of these par
ticular varieties of fish
The act also provides for a close
time on smelts from June Is until the
ice goes out of the river the following
spring Heretofore there has been nc
close time on SmeltS, but the prOpO-
lcnts claim that the smelts run in
very deep water where young trout
congregate and that in fishing for the
smelts the young trout are disturbed
and much injury done to trout fishing
in the lakes. The act also makes bait
casting for black bass unlawful from
the time the ice goes out in the spring
until July /.
Had the evening been pleasant there
would have been q big crowd from the
vicinity of the lakes present, but as it
was number of gentlemen interested
in the Improvement of fishing in the
lakes were present and spoke in ia
vor of the several sections of the act
Among those who spoke in favor Of
the measure We're G. A. Hill Of The
Belg. ade, President Towle and Messrs
TravorS and Kelley of the Great Pond
Improvement Association and County
Treasurer Bert p. Stuart of Belgrade
No one appeared in opposition. The
act was accompanied by a number of
petitions from residents in the vicin-
ity of the Belgrade chain of lakes.

Judge George F. I.awton of the Mid

ed two alleged wills which had been
filed. These two documents We're found
in England, together with a third will,
which was not offered for probate, and
they provided that practically all the
property should go to residents of Tro-
bridge, England. One of these wills
left $4,000 to the President of the
United States.
After the attorneys for the English
beneficiaries under one will had stat
cd that their clients no longer desired
to urge the allowing of the will, owing
TO doubts as to its authenticity, Judge
Lawton threw both wills out of court,
stating that the evidence which had
been presented showed that the names

handwriting.
The only remaining will, which was
found in Somervile soon after Mr..
Uadlcys death, was then taken up.

that they considered Mr.. Hadley of

case was continued until Wednesday.

4 Splendid Prescription
Mixed at Home,
A Warning Not 10 Neglect
Danger Signals.
To Find Out il the Kidneys are Al.
fected.-.What to Do,

Ihere are moce cases of kidney
trouble here now than ever before
While recent reports show that more
people succumb each year to some
form of kidney disease than any other
cause.
When there is sickness examine the
urine. rheumatism is only a symptom
OF kidney trouble. 1t is nothing more
OF less than excessive uric acid in the
blood, which the sluggish, inactive kid
neys have failed to sift out, leaving it
to decOmpose and settle about the
joints and muscles, causing intense
suffering; frequently resulting in de
formity; often reaching the heart.
When death ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent pain
full ard suppressed urination and other
symptoms of weak bladder are not the
only signs of kidney trouble; many
cases of stomach disease, headache,
pain in the heart, inactive liver, etc.
are but symptoms; the cause Of which
can be traced to feeble, clogged kid
neys.
A simple test of the urine is to void
a small quantity in a bottle or glass
and lei it stand over night: next
morning, if there is a reddish brick
dust sediment, or white feecy sub
stance present, either consult some
reputable physician or take good veg
etablC treatment The following pre-
scrlption is recommended highly in
these cases, and the sufferer can mix
1t at home. Compound KarSon, one
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Shake Well and
use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
Where any of the symptoms enumer-
ated above are present, good results
are sure to follow Immediately the use
of this simple prescription.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Jan. 18-Receipts of cattle last
week were over 5000 head.
Prices held up we'll during the
early half of the week despite
eastern declines, but later the
big eastern drop forced a decline
here of 10 to 25 cents. The mar
ket closed in fine shape however,
and a good clearance was made
daily. Good to choice beef steers
sold at $500 to IS. 80 and cows
brought S3.75 to 81. 40 with some
fancy North Park hay fed cows
at S4.60 and S4 70. Bulls We're
firm at S2.25 to $4.00, the latter
taking fancy fed bulls. Veal
calves sold at $500 to $3.50,
about steady. Feeders and stock
ers sold especially we'll as the
demand was strong. Good to
choice steers brought $4.25 to
SIS. 40, and the fair to good went
at So. 45 to 50. Is.
The market this morning was
active and receipts heavy. The
Fourth Annual National Western
Stock Show opened it's doors to-
day to the largest first day crowd
ever seen at a show of this kind
in the west, and indications are
that the attendance during the
week will break all former rec
ords. The exhibits are all in
place and ready for inspection.
The horse show which will be
held in the evenings, is attract
ing more than usual interest this
year and fine program has
been arranged for each night.

one of the many reminders that
railroading is dangerous. With
in the past few days another
wreck is reported in Kansas with

gate of fatalities each year
reaches in number almost that

the fatalities are among employ

without accounts of wrecks s
wherein travellers by rail lose
their lives. Doubtless something
could be done to lessen the great
number of fatalities. For one
thing better road bed could be
provided on most of the roads.
Less hours should also be per-
mitted for the trainmen to work,
many of whom have been on
duty for 16 or more hours at a
stretch. Then again. it would
lessen accidents if greater har-
mony could prevail between en-

not interested are likely to be
