People Tell Each Other About Good
Things.

Sixteen years ago few people in the
world knew of su ch preparation as a
powder for the feet. To-day after the
genuine merit OF Aliens Foot-Ease has
been told year after year by one gratified
person to another, there are millions
who would as soon 60 without denti-
frice as without Aliens Foot-Ease. 1t is
a cleanly, wholesome, healing, antiseptic
powder to be shaken into the shoes,
which has given rest and comfort to
tired and aching feet In all parts OF the
world. 1t cures while you walk. Over
80, 900 testimonials of cures of smarting,
swollen, perspiring feet. 1t prevents
friction and wear OF the stockings and
will save in your stocking bill ten times
its cost each year. limitations pay the
dealer a larger profit, otherwise you
would never be offered substitute
when you ask for Aliens Foot-Ease, the
original antiseptic powder for the feet.
limitations are not advertised because
they are not permanent. For every
genuine article there are many imita-
tions. The imitator has no reputation
to sustain-the advertiser has. 1t stands
to reason that the advertised article Is
the best, otherwise the public would not
buy it and the advertising could not be
continued. When you ask for an article
advertised in this paper, sec that you
get it. Refuse limitations.

Arrests for Canton swindIe.

Jack Fahey, Of more than local reputa-
ton as polo player, was arrested In
Lewiston Thursday evening charged
with the fraudulent rse Of the mails In
connection with the fake celebration at
Canton last Labor Day. Another man,
John Crowley, who was wanted on the
same affair, escaped the officers, who
thought they had him cornered.
The Canton affair is we'll remembered,
ct least by thevIctims. Parties writing
from Lewiston engaged the Canton fair
grounds for q celebration on Labor Day,
with horse races, ball games, sports, bal
loon ascension, etc., and it was well ad-
vertised. A crowd Of people paid ad-
mission to the grounds, and the hour
for the celebration going by, the cause
of the delay was looked for, and it was
found that the promoters had skipped
with the gate receipts. An automobile
in waiting near by had taken them to
parts unknown. The parties were iden-
tilted shortly afterward, but have not
been found until within few days.
At Augusta Friday Fahey and William
j. Mahoney of Lewiston were bound
over In the sum of $1,000 each, and
furnished bonds. Mahoney was not
placed under arrest, but was told to pre-
sent himself before the United States
commissioner, and did go.

For Eiremen's Muster.

At Engine House Hall Friday evening,
July 20, at 1:3O, all five hose companies
and hook and ladder company will meet
to consider the idea of attending the
firemen's muster Labor Day at the state
fair. The purses this year will be $500,
if the state fair trustees decide to enter
into this popular sport. My plan is to
allow each member that goes and works
sl.OO in place of our practice drills.
This will be in the hands of our new
organization, the Maine State Hand
Engine League, C. S. Yeaton President,
Auburn, +. NJ. David, Secretary, Dana
riscotta.
Labor Day comes the first day of the
state fair. Now we have as good water
works as there is in the state of Maine
and let's show them We have as good a
hand engine as there is in the state.

Another Blaze, But Brief.

At about 1880 Wednesday forenoon
fire was discovered on the roof of E. D.
Millett's carriage shop near the railroad
station. There is a hose house almost di-
rectly across the street, and hydrant at
a short distance, and 1t was very short
time before a stream of water was going
on to the roof.
An alarm was given by the Mason
Manufacturing Co.'s whistle, but before
Chief Engineer Bowker and Others who
hustled from the Square could get there,
the fire was all out, though the roof was
wet down little more to make certain.
1t is supposed that the fire caught from
sparks from the chimney, as some waste
had been burned in the stove shortly
before, and the roof was dry. The
damage is slight.

Republican Committees Meet.

A meeting of the Republican County
Committee was held at the court house
Tuesday afternoon, at which the Oxford
County members of the state and district
committees were present, and members
of the town committees in quite a num-
ber of towns of the county, as well as
other interested Republicans, including
Hon. John P. Swasey, representative
from the Second Maine District and can
didate for reelection. Nearly two hours
was spent in conference regarding the
present campaign in this state. The
meeting indicated that the Republicans
of the county are awake, energetic and

Here and There.

The officials of the Mount Washington
Railway have decided to build station
and restaurant on the summit of Mount
Washington, where the old Summit
House was burned, but will build no
hotel, saying that the station and restau-
rant will be sufficient to accommodate
their patrons. Doubtless the railroad
officials know their business. At the
same time it is rather a peculiar situa-
ton to have no place for travellers to stay
over night at the greatest mountain show
place in northeastern America. The
suggestion may not be amiss that it is up
to that loyal organization, the Appa-
lachian Mountain Club, to build a shell
ter, IL practicable, at some point within
a comfortable distance from the summit.

printed was manifestly an error, and the
