An Original Celebration in Feb.
Is Planned by Board OF Trade
Deciding Not to Follow, but Lead.

That Augustus business men are
wide awake was shown by Wednesday
evenings meeting of the Board of
Trade.
After discussion of an hour and a
half by 2S members, meeting in the
banquet room of the Augusta House,
it was passed by a vote of 10 to to
contract with Webber & Huse of Bath
to put on in Augusta the second week
of February next, in connection with
Food fair of some sort, an Indoor
circus, similar to that these gentlemen
have shown in Waterville and Bath.
AS it was obvious that but half the
members present had voted and in or
der to give the affair the greatest
possible success, the vote was doubted
and another expression of opinion
made, in which the proposition was
unanimously turned down.
A motion made by Guy P. Gannett,
that Augusta have some kind of a
Trade entertainment in February next,
was carried by a unanimous vote and
on motion of Mr.. Grouse the president
was authorized to appoint commit
tee Of 10 with power to act to arrange
for such an entertainment, Pres. In
gals being, ex oftlcio, member OF
this committee The membership was
not named but will be formed and lat
er announced by the Journal.
The prevailing sentiment favored
for such a Carnival a Food fair, con-
nected with which would be some sort
of entertainment by local talent, prob
ably both being under the direction
of men with experience along such
lines.
The objection raised against the
Webber proposition was its high cost.
On suggestion of Mayor NeNbert
the board endorsed the program Tor
this weeks celebration of Augusta.

cars, filled with occupants, assembled
at Market square by o'clock.
A suggestion by the mayor that in
addition to the parade car going Is
miles an hour along the street con-
tanning Hon. Joseph Williamson max
ing a chain lightning Grafton elected
applause and merriment.
The unusual attendance at the meet
ing, which was called to consider es-
pecially the Indoor Circus and Carni
val proposition, showed that Augustus
Board of Trade is alive and that her
business men are full Of Vigor, enter
prise and snap.
Throughout the many speeches the
almost unanimous sentiment was the
necessity of getting together and the
wisdom of such as the proposed en-
tertainment to advertise the Capital
City and push her commercial advan-
tages and trade. AS Mayor Newbert
had it, such enterprises are condu
Give to better circulation of local
blood as we'll as cash and advertise
the city"
As Hon. Chas. S. Hichborn, Nathan
Weston and others insisted, there is
plenty of local ability for entertain
ments here without going abroad.

H Simmons and others.
The gathering showed conclusively
that Augusta business men are wide
awake and full of energetic enthu-
siasm to do something or anything to
benefit the Capital City and widen the
city's reputation as a residential and
commercial city. A spirit of generosity
and wisdom also was shown in the ma
iority's Difference to the opinion of the
minority; wise because city's sue
cess in public push is due to all, elbow
to elbow, working together for the
general advantage and welfare.
Upon the advisability of holding
some sort of a public entertainment in
the middle of February all agreed.
The only diversity of opinion was the
best thing to be done. This, as stated
above, is to be left to the committee
to be formed.
The board adjourned at $50 sharp.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Pullman Residents

Many people in a misguided effort
to get rid of kidney backache, rely
on plasters, liniments and other
makeshifts. The right treatment is
kidney treatment and a remarkably
recommended kidney medicine is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Pullman is no
exception.
The proof is at your very door
The following is an experience typi-
cal of the work of Doan's Kidney
Pills in Pullman.
Mrs. Frank Klossner 800 Harrison
ST., Pullman, Wash, says: "One of
my family was suffering from back
ache and he was advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. He got box
at Whites drug store and began
using them. He had been having
considerable trouble with a lame
back and it often interferred with
his work, so that he had to lay off.
One box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave
his relief and he hasn't needed any
kidney medicine since. Nothing else
ever did him as much good as Doan's
Kidney Pills. The cure has been
permanent"
