Newspapers Wanted.

The Progressives talk of starting a
daily newspaper in Augusta. AS the
Progressives have but one newspaper in
daily-it is high time that Progressive
friends of Publicity got busy. The only
newspaper In Maine that publishes both
sides and allows The Tories to have their
say within its own columns, without
money and without price-naturally is TO
The System the most Objectionable OF
papers because it's arguments feeble as
they seem to The Steam Roller to be,
have not thus far been answered-though
its shop is open to welcome everybody 8
say So The most dangerous thing for
Maine and the friends of Special Privi-
leges have about so organs weekly ana
Special Privilege is ventilation. Bretn-
remit remains true that the. elbows
shunt more righteousness in this world
than anything-fists hardly excepted 1t
is natural that the Technical Conscience
of the Professionalism regime should dis
like the plain unvarnished truth about
the parliamentary elimination OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt in 1914 as about the tacti-
cal elimination of majority OF the vol
ers in the Chicago and Bangor conVen-
tons 1912.-Lewiston journal.
We gather from the above hash that
the ogressives-Dingley, at least
want daily paper in Augusta. NOW
that isn't so very remarkable, and we
have no objection. But we may say,
also, that Lewiston Republicans are
determined to have Republican
paper in Lewiston. We happen TO
know of a movement now under way
to start an evening daily in the An
droscoggin metropolis. We know of
newspaper man who has been several
times approached by some of the most
influential business men in Androscog-
gin county, to take charge of the en-
terprise. Financial backing is un-
limited, and pledged advertising
patronage would guarantee success
from the start
Said newspaper man has recently
been in conference with legal and
capitalistic gentlemen who are tired
and sick of the insults and abuse of
one who seems to care neither for the
cities interests. moral progress nor
anything else but the venting of his
colossal bigotry and of revenge upon
his fancied enemies.
Lewiston has a clean, wholesome,
reliable morning paper and it wants
an evening Newspaper, one that had
as soon tell the truth as not. II wants
an evening paper that will form the
habit of stating facts in plain terms
and that will be fair even to its most
bitter opponents; a paper that will ad-
vance every day of the year, instead
of so devoting itself to vengeance that
it will wither its own natural tissues
with every publication.
And Lewiston is to have a NEWS
paper, by one means or another. be-
fore the Androscoggin atmosphere has
been polluted to a much greater ex
tent.

AFTER SICKNESS
Mrs. Gardner Tells How to Restore
Ones Strength.


Ones Strength.
So many people are asking how to
recover their strength after severe
sickness that we are publishing this
information for their benefit.
After grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia or
any illness what you need Is new
strength and better blood.
The most certain way to get this is
by taking Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation.
Mrs. M. T. Gardner, Chicago, ILL.,,
says: After a very serious operation
l was total invalid for nearly a
year and convalescent for months
thereafter, l gave the remedies of a
number of eminent specialists a thor
ough trial, but without deriving the
slightest benefit. Vinol was recon-
mended. Without the least faith in
the merits of the medicine, took it
faithfully, and it seemed to bring back
the old color to my checks and the
elasticity to my step which had de-
SPARED of ever recovering. / can say,
conscientiously. that for nervous, run
down people, Vinol is an excellent
remedy"

The latest disease to be listed is
called the Tango foot" discovered by
a New York physician, who has the
following to say about il:
The patient generally awakes in
the morning with a slight dull pain in
the outer anterior aspect of the leg in
its lower third. At first it is regarded
as a slight bruise or a little rheuma-
tism.' During the next few days
the pain becomes more marked and a
stiffness in flexion and extension of
the foot is noted. Going up and
down stairs is painful, especially the
latter. He, or she. now becomes wor-
ried and seeks medical advice. The
physician on examination notes the
slight limp of the patient. He dis
covers that the patients finds stand
ing on the toes, or passive and active
extension of the ankle joint painful.
There is no redness. Over the region
of the tibialis anticus tendon, pressure
produces slight degree of tenderness.
With the hand over this painful area
extension and fiexion of the ankle is
made and the typical cracking feeling
of tenosynovitis is noticed"

 FRS CRIME.
Guilty Man Confesses and Victim Welcomes lis Long Deferred
 Eindication.
lWNI News SerNiceN

Leavenworth, Kan, July 1S.-After serving 10 years of a life sentence in the United States penitentiary, Sam uel Coltrane has been liberated on a communication order by President Will son as the result of a confession Of Thomas Watson. convict confined in the Oklahoma state prison. who de clares that he, and not Coltrape, killed Cicero Coltrane, Samuels cousin, on the Cicero Coltrane farm in Oklahoma in 1904.
 Watson Remained on Farm.
 Cicero Coltrane had leased a farm near Hochstown, Ok, and employed his cousin Sam and Thomas Watson and his wife to work for him. There is said to have been a misunderstanding between the farmer and his employees and on the afternoon of May 22 1905 he was shot and killed while seated at a table in the house. Watson, who was found on the place, pleaded ie- norance of the crime. Samuel Col trane could not be found them. but later was apprehended in a nearby town and brought back. He denied that he had fired the shots, but the evidence was against him and he was taken to jail.
 From the date of his arrival at the federal prison here, Coltrane always had declared that he was innocent of the charge upon which he was con yicted, but he was without friends or money and was unable to make 8 fight for his liberty. He was eln- ployet in the prison tailor shop and always was model prisoner.
 The prisoner says he welcomes his long deferred vindication, and may sometime call on Watson, who is at present serving 25 years for another crime
