ger and freight trains are often
delayed here because of the lack OF
YARD room. With six miles OF
double track in each direction from
town, the handling of traffic would
pe greatly facilitated.
The construction of that many

employment of quite force Of men
and teams for two or three m ,nthe,
and good portion of the money
paid to those men would be put IN
to circulation in Montpelier. Ii
a dition to this work, it is aImos,
certain that the new depot will be-
this year, which would also
materially add to the company's

OLD FOLKS WERE
WELL ENTERTAINED

Despite the fact that Wednesday
was the coolest day of the winter,
the old folks of Montpelir and vi
cinity to the number of nearly 200
gathered at the pavilion in the after.
noon to participate in the annual old
folks party.
The program in the afternoon
consisted of songs, addresses, games
and contests Of various kinds, all of
which were greatly enjoyed by the
old people.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the guests
repaired to the banquet room in the
basement, where they were treated
TO a feast that was ft for kings,
princes or potentates. In fact q
finer banquet was probably never
served in Montpelier.
In the evening the doors were
thrown open 10 all residents of
Montpelier who were over 40 years
of age, and despite extreme cold,
many gathered there to assist the
elder ones in having good time.
The evenings program opened
with 9 character quartette entitled
"The County Fair" by George
Corrford, Jesse Dunn, Mrs. Arnold
and Mrs. Ed Austin, which was re-
ceived with hearty applause.
Quadrills, waltzes, the Virgins
Reel and other old time dances wert
then enjoyed until after midnight.
Mrs. john Dunu was given {
china plate as q prize for being the
best step dancer. Although II
years of age, Mrs. Dunn il as agile
as a girl of sixteen.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Bunney were
each presented with a PAIR of slip
pers as prize for being the oldes
couple present.
The banquet tables were spreat
for the evening guests, who dir
ample justice to the good things t,
eat, of which there was an abund
anee.
While the attendance was not a
large as 1t has been at previou
gatherings, due to the cold weathe
and the fact that the age limit wa
raised, yet the affair was success
and everybody had q most enjoyabl
time.

We were promised Statewide prohibi-
ton under the Democratic admins
tration - such a drouth as was never
experienced before. Up in Somerset
county the sheriff has given his deputies
instructions similar to those Sheriff Garlic
ton gave his deputies on assuming office
in this county. and which were faithfully
observed during his incumbency; but
that is the only sign of enforcement yet
manifested. The announcement of Gov.
Plaisted that he intended to make the
State Of Maine as dry as covered bridge
has received no consideration in Andro-
scoggin county. The Sturgis deputies
ceased work there some two weeks ago,
anG since that time no effort has been
made to enforce the law. The result is that
Lewiston is wetter than it has been be-
fore Tor five or six years, with at least
one open bar where beer and ale are on
draft, and there is said to be 600 places
where beer can be bought. Sheriff White
Of Penobscot county has named only two
deputies for Bangor, which is considered
to be practically declaration that he in
tends to keep up his policy of non-en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, as the
two deputies need all their time for rou-
tine work and the serving of civil pro-
ces SEES. Enforcement sheriffs have ap-
pointed a special enforcement squad of
from four to six deputies. Since he was
elected two years ago Sheriff White has
declined to enforce the prohibitory law,
declaring that he was elected upon non
enforcement platform and that he is to
stand pat. He was reelected by large
majority. The result is that not even in
the palmy days of the Bangor plan"
were the liquor dealers of the county
more free and untrammelled in their
TT attic than at present. The Sturgis dep
uties have been withdrawn. Chief Gil
m an of the police force, who received a
setback at the August term of court
VIII en- more than three hundred cases
which his men had worked up against the
liquor dealers were mol pressed, continu-
ed or placed on special docket, has an
nounced unoficially that he should make
no more raids unless on complaint. With
nothing to expect from the sh 7riff, the
situation in Bangor is now practically
"free rum," that is, the liquor dealer
who pays his United States tax stands in
no fear of being molested. Some even
take chance without paying the Gov.
eminent tax. But even now the liquor
dealers are not satisfied, although they
may keep open all day, all night and
Sundays. They say SO many are in the
business that there is not trade enough.
Since the foregoing was in type the
sheriff Of Aroostook county has an.
nounced his intention to strictly enforce
the prohibitory law.

People go on suffering from little stomach

They over eat or over drink and force on the

that the stomach requires additional help to

The mayor never misses an opportunit.

The mayor never misses an opportunity
to advertise himself. Not content with
doing it every week in his newspaper or
gan he committed an objectionable breach
of hospitality last Thursday night when
a guest of the fire department by making
rank political speech. He was the guest
on that occasion of Republicans as we'll
as Democrats, for men of both parties
are members of the fire department, and
work side by side for the protection of
life and property without thought of po-
litical differences. The mayors remarks
were offensive to the Republicans pres
ent and must have been regarded as I'M
called for by the Democrats, for this was
a social function and no other speaker
followed his bad example. But whenever
the mayor has been in office he has en-
deavored to make the fire department
political machine for his personal benefit,
just as he has carried his personal poll
tics into the school committee, the public
library and city affairs generally, usurp-
ing the duties of others in order to attain
his ends. Never before the day of the
present mayor was an attempt made to
turn the fire department into political
machine to serve the ends of one man. 1t
has had as chiefs prominent citizens of
both parties Our citizens have contribut-
ed cheerfully and literally to the annual
suppers and other benefits and all felt
pride in our fire fighters. If this pride
and this kindly feeling have been lessen
ed in any degree it is not due to any short
coming on the part of the department,
or to any doubt as to Its efficiency, but
solely to the baleful influences of one
man, who to attain his own selfish ends
would wreck our banks and drive three
fourths of our business men out of bust
ness

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is Nth us, making its
presence known in many different ways-some-
times by CHEEKY sunshine and glistening SHOWS,
and sometimes by driving winds and binding
storms. To many people it seems to take de-
light in making bad things worse, for rheuma-
tism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh
becomes more annoying, and the many symp-
toms Of scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but there is
truth, and it is wonder that more people don't
re. rid Of these ailments. The medicine that
cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla- easily OBJ
tained and there is abundant proof that its
cures are radical and permanent.

POSTMASTER CARLETON.

The appointment of Amos F. Carleton
as postmaster at Belfast was confirmed
by the Senate on Monday last. This
action would have been taken before had
not Congressman Burleigh been called to
Augusta by the serious illness of two
members of his family. Mr.. Carleton
did not seek the Office, the Office sought
the man. During his six years residence
in Belfast he has won an enviable reputa-
tation as citizen and as an officer. The
Waldo County Bar Association On the
eve of his retirement from the sheriff S
Office paid him unusual honor, their
spokesman saying of him: elm whatever
capacity he has served the people it goes
by common consent that his every act
has been characterized by honesty, effi-
cheney, promptness and courtesy - so
peculiarly is this true that both bench
and bar join with me in this sentiment,
that he has been by far the most efficient
and faithful sheriff we have had the
pleasure of patronizing in the fourteen
years have been at the bar"
When it was known that there was to
be change in the postmastership, the
qualities Mr.. Carleton had shown as
citizen and as an officer caused him to be
regarded as the best man for the place
one who would continue to serve the
public faithfully and well-and he was
commended to the appointing power by
the business men of Belfast generally
and by a large number of citizens ire
spective of politics.
Mr.. Carleton has not only been resi-
dent of Belfast for six years, performing
all the duties of citizenship, but in any
event intended to remain here to educate
his'children in our public schools. Some
of those who objected to his appointment
on the ground that he was not a citizen,
helped to elect a mayor whose name was
not on the check list when he was nomi-
mated, who was then under sentence to
one year in the penitentiary at Joliet,
ILL.,, at hard labor and to pay fine of
S., 900, and who had previously been put
out of business by the postoffice depart
ment for defrauding the public. And this
man, who was overwhelmingly defeated
when the voters of Waldo county were
called upon to decide between him and
Mr.. Carleton at the polls, has ever since
sought to revenge himself upon a politi-
cal opponent, by methods peculiar to an
INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsible foe. The
idea that such a man, with such record,
could have any influence with the post
office department, with the Maine dele
cation in Congress, or with the Republi-
can administration, is too silly for con-
sideration. AS leading member of the
Waldo county bar well said: "Mr. Garlic
ton has been fortunate in the enemies he
has made
