arrested today charged with attempted
arson in connection with the attempt TO
burn the six-tenement block on Manton
avenue Saturday night. Joseph Gold
stein, proprietor of a shoe store in the
building, was arrested Sunday. His shoe
stock is insured for $4,000. Goldstein and
his son told the police that a third man
laid the gasoline trail to Goldstein's cell
lar They accused Riddell, the police say,
OF making a deal with the proprietor of
the store and that after he had received
the money he arrived at the store Satur-
day night, laid the trail of gasoline and
lighted the candle, which if left undis-
turbed would have started fire that
would have imperilled more than score
of lives of people sleeping on floors above.

Thin Blood Causes Backache

Every muscle in the body needs a
supply of rich, red blood in proportion
to the work it does.
The muscles of the back are under
heavy strain and have but little rest.
Wien the blood is thin they lack
nourfshment and rebel. The result is
sensation of pain in those muscles.
The best medical authorities agree
that backache seldom or never means
kidney trouble. Real organic kidney
disease may have progressed to a criti-
cal point without developing pain in
the back Doctors detect its presence
by the excretions of the kidneys them
selves.
Pains in the back should always lead
the sufferer to look to the condition of
the blood 1t will be found in most
cases that the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to build up the blood will
stop the grumb1ing of the ill-nour-
ished muscles of the back. How much
better it is to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for the blood than to give way to
unreasonable alarm about your kid
neys. If you suspect your kidneys,
any doctor can make tests in ten min
utes that will set your fears at rest or
tell you the worst.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. A free book, Building Up the
Blood" will be sent on request by the
DIR. Williams Medicine Co, Schenec-
tady, n. Y.-Adv. -

Mems Club of Uni
versalist Church.

The meeting of the Mems Club of the
Universalist church was held Thursday
evening at the church vestry and, like
the previous meetings of this organiza-
tion was one of much pleasure and profit
to those attending The attendance was
excellent, 125 being seated at supper to
which they did ample justice Some were
obliged to leave Immediately after sup
per and these certainly missed the best
part of the meeting.
Promptly at $50 the invitation to sup
per was given, grace being said by Rev,
Mr. Markley of Hallowell. After supper
cigars were lighted and songs called for.
Under the leadership of n. II. Trafton,
with r. X. Greeley at the piano, a pleas
ing and harmonious 10 minutes were
passed, after which Judge w. C. Atkins,
the clubs president. stated briefly the OBJ
iect of the club and opportunity was
given for membership to those who de-
sired. .tE
During the evening Menander bennett.
postmaster of Lewiston, who Is no
stranger in Gardiner, rendered several
Of his inimitable selections. which were
well received, encores being demanded
after each.
Judge Fred Emery Beane of Hallowell
was introduced by President Atkins.
Judge Beane after prefacing his remarks
with few witty and pointed stories,
showed clearly the amount Of good that
such an organization could accomplish.
He pointed out the Importance of church
attendance and gave a strong plea for
the education of the young along politi-
cal though not party, lines. He said
that politics as far as party is concerned
is a thing of the past and that the one
way to improve citizenship was by the
education of the boy and girl He i'm
pressed upon his auditors that the word
of kindness and cheer, especially to the
children, was not lost.
The other speakers of the evening were
]. S. Maxcy, Col. NJ. A. Haraden of BATH
and Justice A. NJ. Spear of the supreme
bench.
Justice Spear illustrated the fact thai
the people were getting nearer and nearer
to the control Of the government and
said that just such organizations as the
one gathered there were prime factors
in securing the education that would bet
ter fit the people to give the best service
in such control. After the usual vote OF
thanks to the speakers the meeting
closed.

Doctors in all parts of the country have

Washington, Feb. 5-That stock
speculation is of direct economic value
because it furnishes the "epitomized
judgment" of countless men on the
actual value of securities and estab-
fishes the price, was the declaration
today of w. c. Van Antwerp, governor
of the New York Stock Exchange, be-
fore the Senate committee on banking
and currency. Senator Bristow's de-
mand that Mr.. Van Antwerp, who ap-
peared in opposition to the pending
bill proposing federal regulation of
stock exchanges, explain what use
full or economic purposes speculative
trading served brought out the view of
the stock brokers. The committee was
told that this position would be am
plified by many well-informed men
before the opposition completed it's
case.
Mr.. Van Antwerp asserted that the
bill under discussion would drive Gus
toners of stock brokers to private
bankers and trust companies and Gre
ate an unlicensed and unrestricted
market in which the public would suf-
fer without hope of redress.
Speculation cannot be stopped by
legislative action" he declared. ut is

ing bucket Shops" which, he de-
clared, to be an evil that the bill would
promote, H. II. Boyesen of counsel
for the Consolidated Exchange of New
York interrupted to say his clients
took a similar view and to propose a
