OBITUARY.
GEORGE GOULD.

George Gould, one OF Ellsworth's Oldest
and best-known citizens, died Monday
afternoon at his home at the Hancock
house, after an illness OF a few weeks OF
heart trouble.
Mr.. Gould was born at Amherst, N. s.,
Sept. z, 1880. He came to Maine when a
boy OF sixteen years, making his home in
Hancock, where he was engaged for sew
eral years in farming and numbering.
In 1872 he came to Ellsworth, purchas-
ing the building at the corner OF Grant
and Main streets, then occupied as small
inn by Patrick Sullivan. Mr.. Gould
enlarged the building, and conducted
boarding house and hotel busine s.
under the name of the Hancock house,
thus establishing what has since become
one OF the best hotels in the State.
In 1890 his son, Frank H., took over the
business, and under his management the
hotel has been brought to its present high
standing. Mr.. Gould, senior, retained his
home at the hotel with his son, and en-
joyed wide acquaintance and popularity
with the travelling public. Every trav-
elling man in Maine who has visited Ellis
worth in the past score Of years, knew
George Gould, and all have pleasant recol-
lections Of him.
MIR. Gould was man of fine physique,
and in his prime, powerful and tireless
was often called by woodsmen and hunters
the ssablest" man in Ellsworth.
Mr.. Gould married, on Sept. 5, 1856,
Miss Eunice Y. Martin, of Lamoine, who
survives him, with four sons Frank IL,
and George H., of Ellsworth; Roscoe e.
OF Bangor, and DR.. Arthur L., of Freeport.
MIR. Gould's death is the first break in the
family.
The funeral was held at the home this
forenoon, Rev. R. b. Mathews officiating.

Why Bruises Become Black and Blue.
The color of blood is due chiefly to
iron In the little blood cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells, which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some Of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels, wander about for awhile in
the tissues and die. When they die
the iron that made them red before
then changes to black and blue color
ing. After awhile this iron Is taken up
by the glands called the lymphatics
and made over again into nice red cells.
The iron is taken up very much more
quickly by the lymphatics If the black
and blue spot is rubbed and massaged.

BELIEVED MISSING GIRL
Is DISGUISED AS BOY
Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-That

SPInSHeIO, ILL.,, OCL. 1udI
Miss Emaline Thomas, daughter of
Mrs. Anna Thomas of Sacramento,
CAL, who disappeared mysteriously
from Ursuline Convent here Satur-
day night, probably is fleeing to her
mother in the disguise of boy, was
the theory of the police today, who
have been baffled at every turn in
their attempts to trace the girl.
They have learned definitely that
Miss Thomas had her hair cut short
the night she disappeared. Every in
CURRY at the convent has met with
silence on the part of the heads of
the institution. The police have not
been able to get the Sacramento adj
dress of the mother. Last night
when they asked for a photograph of
the girl, who used a camera frequent
ly, they were told the convent pos
sessed none. The police were asked
to keep silent on the matter when
the disappearance was reported.
Miss Thomas is the granddaughter
of Former Governor Bissen of ILL
nois. No reason is given by the con-
vent for a desire to flee. She was
not known to be engaged in any love
affair, according to convent authori-
ties.
