In consequence of the increase IN
business, the docket is not being dis
posed of as rapidly as heretofore. The
number of criminal cases appealed
since July /, is unprecedented, and
there is a very material increase in
the number of civil cases.
The court always starts in behind
with the docket in the fall, account Of
the accumulation during the summer
recess, but this accumulation has in
recent years always been disposed Of
by early spring. This year, however,
the court will be longer in disposing
of the accumulation, and litigants will
have to wait longer for their cases to
be disposed Of.
There has been much speculation as
to the cause for this increase, but no
solution has been found unless it be
the increase in litigation resulting
from the natural growth in the pop
ulation of the state and its material
interests.

THE GRAND.

A three-reel detective story, "Chel-
sea $780," will be shown at the Grand
tonight. Henry E. Dixey, the famous
Legitimate" star, one of the foremost
favorites of the American stage, dis
tinguishes Chelsea 1850" by his con-
vincing characterization of an eminent
able and conscientious detective. The
play sounds every depth of the under
world, discloses it's secrets, its meth
DDS and emotions, and penetrates the
intricate labyrinths of the submerged
half. In relentless pursuit of a
trained and resourceful gang of coun-
terfeiters, which later develops into
an intense mental and physical con-
test, which many impending difficult
ties and heart-breaking disappoint-
ments, but which eventually culmi-

Dull DAY HERE

With a steady downpour of rain
throughout the day, Thanksgiving was
anything but lively and exciting day
in Conway. The rain interfered with
attendance at church services and al
so caused the postponement of the
girls basketball game at Central Col

ed open during the day, but the holi-

How TO Be More Beautiful.
By On. M4A<

The love of good looks is a very natural
feeling. We are all just human enough
to wish to look we'll and make 4 good
appearance.
have met many people, some OF them
ladies, who were mortified because their
faces, otherwise attractive and often even
beautiful, were marred by dry and
sallow skin, Aabby and wrinkled, or by
unsightly pimples and b,otches.
1thas been my good fortune to point these
people to safe and very simple remedy
for their affection; and because there are
many Others who suffer in the same way.
l am giving my remedy here. Every
one should understand, however, first,
that these troublesome things have
very simple cause and come only because
nature is failing to eliminate poisons from
the system in natural way. If these
people will take DR.. Trues Elixir they
will aid stomach and bowels to carry off
waste matter that now is clogging the pores
of the skin and marring physical beauty.
counsel all who wish to possess good
looks to follow this advice and urge
them further to use, every night, Parker's

GOOD ROADS ACTS.

Lyman H. Nelson of Portland was in
| Augusta last week in the interest of his
good roads bill and during his STAY ex-
planned to the Legislators the difference
between his measure and that presented
bv John Clark Scates of Westbrook.
While the two bills aim at the same OBJ
ject; better roads in Maine, they are
radically different in their provisions.
''In my bill" said Mr. Nelson, 'no
town is called upon to contribute single
cent for State roads. By the Scates act.
every city and town is compelled to raise
certain amount according to the
amount given by the State 1t is obliged
to do so, too, because the State fixes lust
where the roads shall go and how thew
shall be paid for.
'Under my act, the whole of the 50,
900, 600 proposed bond issue would be ex-
pended for State roads. The amount
would be divided equitably among all the
counties of the State and everyone of
them would have trunk line. It would
not be one big road from Kttery to Fort
Kent, but would be system of State
highways that would include Franklin.
Oxford and Washington counties that
are not now mentioned in the proposed
scheme. No city or town would be COM
PEELED to pay cent for these roads.
They would be built, kept in repair and
wholly maintained by the State. The
State would even look after all damage
done.
''In addition to the State roads, there
is type known as class A roads which
would be built just as State aid roads
are now constructed with the State CIV
ing a certain amount and the towns con-
tributing their share. But this class of
roads would be entirely different from
the State roads which would be built
wholly by the $1,000, 900 bond ISSUE

MOTHERS IN-LAW AT BAY.

By judicial decision in the Supreme
Court of New York the status of the
"other-in-law has been defined with a
particularly never before attempted,
and certain rules of general equity are
laid down which are of interest to sons
in-law and daughters-in-la law alike Most
cases of domestic trouble over this es-
sential feature of our social life arise
from the fact that the mother of the
wife is member of the household In
this case the husbands mother was the
offending person, which makes the de-
cision all the more interesting. When
the wife in question found that her hus-
bands mother was running things with
too high hand, and with the consent of
her son, she left home and demanded a
separate maintenance.
In granting the petition the judge laid
down the principles Of family life which
must govern. The husband must sup
port his mother if she is invaded and
has no other means of support, and may
take her into his home, but she is there
as boarder, and has no privileges what
ever and no authority concerning house.
hold management. She must be dumb
and inactive although this seems de-
handing the impossible. The wife was
right in leaving, and must be supported
independently unless the husband makes
his mother take her proper place in the
domestic circle This abandonment of
the home by the wife does not amount to
legal desertion, but is proper exercise
of an undoubted right.
So far, so good. But the judge goes
further and says the same principle ap-
plies to the mother of a wife resident in
the household. She may be present, and
must be supported if she has no other
means, but she must not interfere with
the domestic economy or normal rela-
tions of the household. All of which is
very comforting to husbands, although
it may be doubted whether the decision
itself will go very far unless those most
interested take occasion to carry out its
principles.
Mothers-in-law are much abused ir
many respects. Their troubles are due
to the fact that they do not believe
daughters or daughters-in-law com.
petent, and must therefore take hano
in the domestic game. They are not in.
terested in court decisions, but maybe
some sons-in-law and daughters-in-law
will kindly, but firmly, see that they are
observed.

MOTHERS-IN-LAW.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. The
enclosed editorial from the Philadelphia
Inquirer may be of interest to many
readers, as there will always be mothers
in-law in the world and some of them
like to give their property to their sons
and live on the son-in-law, who is no
blood relation.
Some go SO far as to say they have
the same rights in the house as the
daughter. To such the enclosed extends
a word of warning. Happy the daugh-
ter who has the moral stamina to pre-
serve the integrity of her home by tell
ing the mother her place.

statement that bill carrying forty
millions approximately would have to be
