TWO ACCIDENTS

Little Elizabeth COrbett Badly
Burned-Onesime Doyon
Mangles Finger

Little Eliza beth Anna Corbett, the
7-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William E. Corbett of 81 Bridge
street, suffered severe injuries at
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning
from burns which she received while
playing with fireworks in front of the
house. She had in her hand what is
called a "sparkler" and as she lighted
it a spark from il set her waist on fire.
Mrs. Corbett and two little boys
quickly ran to the childs assistance
but before the flames could be extin-
guished her dress was nearly burned
from her The little girl was severely
burned about the throat and
chin, on her right arm and al
so all over the chest. Surgical aid
was secured as quickly as possible and
everything done to alleviate her suf-
fering. Sunday her condition was re-
ported to be more favorable and it is
hoped that serious consequences will
be averted Mrs. Corbett was quite Sc
verely burned on her right hand in
attempting to save her daughter.
Onesime Doyon, aged IL years and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Alphonse Doy-
on Of Kendall street. met with a pain
full accident Saturday afternoon while
using a revolver to celebrate with in
front of the Colonial theater on Wa
ter street He had snapped one Of the
cartridges in the cylinder of the pistol
but it failed to explode. and in lifting
the hammer of the pistol for another
trial It slipped from his finger and
struck the cartridge, exploding it. The
cartridge was a blank but its contents
struck the index finger on the boys
right hand, decorating the flesh badly.
The boy was taken to a surgeon where
his injuries were attended and it was
the belief Sunday of the surgeon in
charge that the finger would be saved.

La Tena's Show.

Bright and clean and overfiowing
quality. LaTena's Big Wild Animal
circus played to capacity crowds here
last Wednesday, pleasing young and
old alike, with it's excellent program
of novel numbers more than one of
which would have done credit to a
much more pretentions show, says the
Aroostook Times of Houlton. Every
thing about the show was clean and
we'll regulated, the costuming and
staging of the various acts was beyond
reproach and the entire outfit proved
one of even quality and considerable
merit.
1t was Houlton's third taste of cir
Gus entertainment this season and the
show offered by the La Tena outfit
was of a high order considering the
size. Both in the quality of the pro-
gram and in the show, La Tena's cir
Gus proved a genuine credit to the
show business as whole.
From the opening parade to the final
number there was not a dull moment
for somewhere, either in the ring. on
the stage or within the big steel ami
NAL arena, an act worthy of notice
was in progress. A feature that prov
ed well worth the price of admission
alone was provided by Wesley's seals,
an aggregation of trained animals that
would be hard to equal anywhere. They
play ball. play in a band and one old
fellow actually succeeds in walking
tight rope unaided. In vaudeville, Wes-
leys seals would be termed a big time
act, es circus attraction the number
has few equals.
Other animal acts worthy of more
than passing notice were Walter AL
len and his performing elephants,
Buckman's bears and last, but by
no means least. Marguerite's lions. A
fancy riding act. featuring tango
on horseback. savored of the Barnum
and Bailey show and was done with
grace and ability by two clever
equestrian performers. The program
also included very clever troupe of
wire walkers who did many novel
tricks and gifted family Of contor-
tionists besides number of aerial

Rheumatism depends on an acid

acid gets. into the blood through

Friday night was the quietest might
before" that Augusta has had for
years and possibly in its history. OF
course there WAS something of DEM
onstrstion on Water street and in
some other sections of the city, but as
rule the streets We're quiet and peo-
pie in general got good nights sleep.
One noticeable feature in connection
with the night was the absence of the
ringing of the church bells. City Mar
shall Colgan had men posted at the
different churches and the several bells
which had for SO many years heralded
the coming Of the Fourth were silent
The same was practically true of con-
ditions last year, for at that time the
only bell rung was that in the belfry
OF the First Baptist church, and that
struck but two or three times.
