We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic 1t may be, that we
offer to furnish 1t free of all cost If
1t fails.

muscles of the large intestine. To
expect cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are
eaten like candy, and are particularly
good for children. They seem to act
directly on the nerves and muscles of
the bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on the other organs.
They do not purge or cause other in
convenience. We will refund your
money II they do not overcome
chronic or habitual constipation and
thus aid to relieve the myriads of
or dependent chronic ALL
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Three sizes, 10c., 25c., and soc.

The will of the late Williston Grin
nell was allowed at special meet
ing of the probate court for Knox
county at Rockland last week, but it
Is understood that an appeal to the
Supreme court will be taken. Mr..
Grinnell was prominent and wealthy
resident of Camden, having gone
there several years ago from Sears
port, where he was hotel proprietor
and dealer In horses. The will was
drawn by Allan l.. Bird, Esq, Of
Rockand, and witnessed by him and
Cyrus w. Hills and Miss Florence
Haley. In it, deceased's sister, Mrs.
Davenport, who now resides some
where In the west, was named as
executor. The widow is also one of
the proponents Of the will. Their
counsel are Alan L. Bird and A. S.
Littlefield. The will is contested by
son of decedent, w. E. Grinnell of
Searsport, on the ground that tes-
tator was not of sound mind when
he made and executed the will. There
was also some intimation that it will
be contended that he was unduly in
fiuenced by some persons in making
it. The contestant is represented by
J. II. Montgomery of Camden and II.
c. Buzzell of Searsport. The wit
nesses to the will testified and were
eross-examined by Mr.. Montgomery.
They said they noticed nothing to in
dictate that testator was otherwise
than of sound mind and having
the capacity of intelligently making
a will. Mr.. Montgomery argued that
a prima facie case had not been made
out and moved that the petition for
probate of the will be dismissed
Judge Payson said he should allow
the documents to go to probate unless
there were other reasons. He was,
however, willing to hear further evil
dence, and there was another session
Thursday, at which Mr.. Montgomery
said he had decided, in the absence of
his client, not to introduce testimony,
but to take an appeal to supreme
court II the will were admitted to
probate.

Gently that survey for a route for
a steam railroad from Rockland to
Belfast, is now asserting that 1t did
not state that an extension was con-
templated but merely gave the news
that a preliminary survey was being
made. and that President Mellen was
known to strongly favor the under
taking. 1t was officially stated In
Portland according to paper In that
city, that the Maine Central Railroad
Co. does not contemplate an extern
sion of it's line from Rockland to Bel
fast. Though a surveying party is
now engaged in that section the work
Is not being done for the purpose OF
building line at any immediate date.
Surveying is being done in many diff
ferent parts of the state by the rail-
road, but not for the reason that the
railroad contemplates extending any
of its lines.

The number of passengers brought
to Portland by the transatlantic
liners the coming season Is expected
to be the greatest In the history OF
that city. The fact that the Cunard
line will send passenger ships to that
port Is deemed sure to increase bust
ness, both through. the coming and
going of American tourists, and
through the arrival of immigrants
on their way to Montreal and other
places. The number of adopted Amer
leans who will go to their native
homes, in England and other parts
of Europe, from America and Canada
to spend the Christmas holidays, Is
also expected to be very much greater
than 1t has been in previous year.

hunting days, 1t was stated by them
that the region around Millinocket
lake was good hunting ground for
moose and deer. There the Indians
would secure their game and smoke 1t
before bringing 1t home. One of the
favorite hunting grounds was up near
the Mattawamkeag river. One of the
methods of hunting deer before the
law was passed was to drive them into
the river with hounds and then shoot
them.
