BANGOR "DRY" CITY.
Every Saloon and Bar Closed Since Fir

Every Saloon and Bar Closed Since Fire.
BANGOR, Ne, May 9. For once Ban
gor is dry city; that is, comparative
" dry" Few can remember when it
was quite so arid. For the past week
thousands of dollars in the pockets of ma
tives and sightseers have been lost to the
trade The famous old Bangor plan"
appears to have been seriously damaged
grafton, for nothing has been seen of it
since.
On the morning after the fire, May l,
and bars in the city, said to be over 200,
to close. There was tone in the order
that meant close, and it has been gener-
ally obeyed ever since. The few that
have disregarded the mandate have been
raided and their names are down on
little list that will, it is said, come into
use later.
The fire effectually closed dozen bars
or so. Two hotels, three restaurant bars,
half a dozen straight" bars and as
many lodging houses were wiped out
Most of the dealers have been very
good, for several reasons, the princi-
pal one that all hopes of future favor
rest upon good behavior, they seem to
think Then the city has been so thor
oughiy provided with regular police,
special police, regular soldiers and militia
men that bucking the orders from city
hall has been bit too nerve-racking
1t has been demonstrated that the
police, without the slightest aid from the
sheriff, can make the city "dry" Dur
ing all the excitement of the past week,
with the city thronged with sight-seers
and hundreds of people idle, there have
been fewer arrests and less drunkenness
apparent than on an ordinary Saturday
in wide-open times.
The rebuilding of the burned section
will in all probability eliminate it from
the rum belt Considerable property
which was owned by people who had no
scruple in letting buildings for saloons
will pass to other hands and the new
buildings will be of class too expensive
for anything but a strictly legitimate
business. There are, however, scores of
places left in the lower East Side and in
Pickering So. Broad ST., Front ST., and
other sections.

LINCOLN S "WAY TO DO IT."

A new story on Lincoln emanates from
the Navy Department; but the Great
Emancpator's way to do it, in this
case would be rather dangerous for gen.
eral adoption.
Early in the war a naval captain de-
cided to enter the Confederate service.
His wife pleaded with him to remain
with the Union, not only because Of
loyalty but because it meant the support
of his family. But the resignation was
dispatched to the Department at Wash
ington, and the wife, left alone with her
little family, decided that she would go
to the Capitol and would herself see if
something could not be done.
At the Navy Department she told her
story, but the officials said that she
was quite too late, because the resigna-
ton had been accepted. Finally the
Secretary, touched by her appeal, sug-
gested that there was one person in the
country who might do something for her
that was President Lincoln.
With her luncheon basket on her arm
and with her little tots Juggling at her
skirts, she made her way to the White
House. She found the President, and he,
having heard her story, at once sent over
for the Secretary of the Navy, that he
IIliSuI Dec Tic pdPcio III luc Case. Lie
Secretary, who was himself won to the
cause, presented the facts. AS Lincoln
looked at the anxious little wife, he
asked:
"Mr. Secretary, is there no way that
this can be arranged?"
81 know Of no possible way, Mr.. Pres
ident."
''Let me see the resignation.
1t was handed to him. He examined
the document carefully and then deliber-
ately tore it across and into shreds.
''This," he said, turning to the Secre-
tary and to the little mother, ''this is
one way to do it."
Thus the officer remained with the
Union because of his wife and the Presi-
dent, and the service-record of this
Southern captain is among the brightest
in the annals of our naval history
affairs at Washington, by Joe
Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine
for May.

We know of no other medicine which has been so Sue

State Auditors Campaign Literature.

Another of those unique contributions
entitled the State Auditors report to
Gov. Plaisted has been issued. In reality
1t should be entitled the State Auditors
monthly contribution to campaign litera-
ture. The sum total of the report for
May indicates, it is said. marked i'm
provement in the financial condition of
the State. The people Of Maine now
know that there never was any trouble
with the financial condition of Maine
outside of the Democratic orators, and
that the present legislature appropriated
the largest sum ever appropriated by
any legislature in the history of Maine,
exceeding Gov. Cobb by over two mil
lions of dollars and exceeding Gov. Fer
maid by over 500, State Auditor
Stevens May report makes much of the
fact that 1898, 488.3 80 of back bills have
been paid. Marvellous! Two wears ago
Gov. Fernald's administration had also
paid one emergency lot of $1O2, 600 in
back bills, and much besides. In Nav.
1908, Gov. Cobb had paid many old bills.
The total revenue of the State for April
was 1894, 500 and the cash on hand was
1914, 5O9.93. Would it have been any
less had Gov. Fernald been in office? And
is it not true that practically the entire
over lay of bills which this administra-
ton is paying is for permanent improve
ments, State Capitol, Insane Hospital,
Home for Feeble Minded, to the relief Of
this administration and for which it
should pay it's share? In short, the lex
travagance" issue is dead. The people
were fooled once by the covered bridge
administration and never again.

MEMORIAL DAY.
General Orders Issued from Department
Headquarters.

Headquarters.
General orders No. 7, regarding the
observance of Memorial Day, have been
issued from the headquarters of the de-
partment of Maine, Grand Army of the
Republic, as follows:
l. The Commander-in-Ch Chief has in
National General Orders No. called at
tention to the significance of Memorial
Day as compared with other national
holidays, and one writer has said that
Americans have at least two national
anniversaries that are equally inspiring,
equally enduring-the day we celebrate
and the day we decorate The emotion
of one is of victory. Its expression is in
cheers. The emotion of the other is of
sadness. Its expression is in tears"
Both OF these anniversaries are essential
to the perpetuation of our valued institu-
tons and to our national life.
We have reached stage in our his
tory, when the moral influence of Me-
mortal Day is the more essential. Our
material glory will take care of itself,
but IN this rushing, commercial age, the
citizens Of this great and prosperous Ma
tlon, need such a reminder of the sacri-
flee and suffering endured by others to
secure for this generation the blessings
now enjoyed, as is afforded in the sweet
ly beautiful services of Memorial Day
which has we'll been termed the day
of the heart" and which should claim the
attention, not only Of the Comrades, but
of all who now dwell beneath the folds
of the flag Of our reunited country.
1t is meet that the busy wheel should
stop, that the hammer should cease its
ring and that an unwonted quiet should
prevail throughout all the land, and that
words of eloquence should mingle with
the fragrance of flowers in honor of the
patriot dead-while a prayer should go
up to Him who has guided US as nation.
Lord God of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget
II. Post Patriotic Instructors or Post
Commanders will participate in school
exercises on the Friday proceeding Me-
mortal Day, calling youthful attention to
the sacrifices made that all Americans
might be free, and that the Federal
Union should be pceser. ed.
ILL. The Sunday preceding Memorial
Day should be made part of the regular
exercises, and it is expected that Posts
will attend Divine service on that day
and invite their allied organizations to
join with them.
Nv. Post Commanders will see that
President Lincoln's address at Gettys-
,, burg is made part Of Memorial Day
exercises.
V. Flags throughout this depart
ment will be placed at half mast on the
morning of May Both, and so remain I'M
til IL m. when they will be hoisted to the
masthead for the remainder of the day.
vi. Post Adjutants will make full
and prompt report of the exercises held
by this Post to the Department Chaplain,
Rev. ]. H. Little, Bethel, Maine Blanks
for these reports will accompany this
order. By command of
JOHN w. WEBSTER,
Department Commander,

NERVOUSNESS
This Man Took His Wife's Advice
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and Was Cured.

Mr.. Harry Bemis is well-known
resident OF Pine street, Granville, n. 7.
His complete recovery from nervous
ness through the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills should convince every SUI
ferer OF the value of this remedy.
81 had been feeling badly tor long
time" says Mr.. Bemis, "and finally
was compelled to quit work on account
of my i'll health. | had been working
hard and my trouble was at first ex-
IRENE nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and consulted an oculist
who was also an NJ. D. He told me that
| had, as he worded it, shock of par
alys;s. He treated he for some time
but received no benefit and so went
to another physician. | can hardly
describe how nervous | was at this
time. Even slight noises would almost
make me wild. My mouth was drawn
so that I could scarcely eat and one eye
was affected so | could hardly see. [
had very little use OF my limbs and was
almost complete wreck.
"The doctor failed to help me and 1
followed my wifes advice and took Dr.
Williams Pink Pills She had used
the sameremedy herself with the most
gratifying results and she persuaded me
to try them when it appeared that the
doctors were unable to help me.
''The pills acted very quickly in my
case. | became less and less nervous
and took the pills until was entirely
we'll. They worked wonders for me
and am glad to help others by telling
OF my cure"
There is absolutely no way of reach
ing the nerves with medicine except
through the blood. The nerves receive
all OF their nourishment and support
from the blood which, under healthful
conditions, carries the elements needed
to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
Every person who is interested in the
home treatment of nervous disorders
should send for new edition OF our
booklet entitled, Diseases OF the Ner-
vous System, Their Nature, Symptoms
and Treatment. Address the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain no
harmful or habit-forming drugs, and
the sufferer who gives them trial will
avoid the danger so common in taking
drugs which only deaden pain.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50 by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
