GEORGE ", WALKER
BROWNS IN RIVER ON
SATURDAY Afternoon
By Overturning of the Boat in
Which He and Harold Mill
gan We're Pulling Fish Nets
-Milligan Saved

George w. Walker, aged 20 years, VINO
lived on the Kennedy road, near the
east bank of the Kennebec river and
about a mile anAs a half south OF the
bridge, was drowned at about 4 o cioch
Saturday afternoon by the overturnlng Oh
a boat in which he and young man
named Harold Mil!igan, aged IL years.
were out on the river. Young MlillSah
succeeded with assistance in reaching the
shore in an exhausted condition. but all
efforts to rescue Mr.. Walker were una
vailing. The body was recovered after
it had been in the water short time
but life was extinct.
Mr.. Walker had been engaged during
the past few months in catching suckers
in the river and was out Saturday AFTER
noon pulling the nets when by the over
turning of the boat he and young MILL
gan were thrown into the water. 1t IS
thought that the accident might have
been due to Mr.. Walkers losing his bal
ance and thus overturning the boat.
So far as has been reported the only
witness of the accident was Mrs. Frank
B. Thomas, who lives on the Kennedy
road and who hurried to the river bank
with a rope which she threw to young
Milligan, who seized it and was thus as
sisted in reaching the shore, although in
an exhausted condition. Mrs. Thomas
then turnNt her attention to Mr. Walk
er, who was struggling in the water, and
the rope was thrown to him but he could
not be made to grasp it or notice it and
he soon sank beneath the surface. Mrs.
Thomas then shouted to Jack Stevens,
who lives just across the river from the
point where the drowning occurred, and
he went over with boat and in a short
time recovered the body.
Coroner H. w. Flummer and City Mar
shall Harw wood were notified and, taking
with them DR.. NJ. A. Priest, they hurried
oner Plummer took charge of the remains
and later removed them to his undertake
ing rooms on Water street to prepare
them for burial.
Mr.. Walker originally came from Chel-
sea and had been living on the Kennedy
road for about a year. but had purchased
the Newell farm in Chelsea and expected
soon to occupy it. A sister, Mrs. Fred
G. Reed of Fairfield, was notified Satur-
day evening of the drowning and is now
in the city. Funeral services will be held
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning at SIG Wa

tilda Thomas, who lives on Malta
hill.

Harry Sears of Jefferson street re-
ports that large flock of geese passed
over the city early Friday evening, fly
ing very low, and that the antics of one
bird which in some way got strayed from
the flock were somewhat amusing. The
bird appeared to have lost it's head" en-
tirely and was making short flights in
every direction and calling loudly for the
others in the flock. 1t seemed to be at
tracted by the street lights and narrowly
escaped daShing against one of them.
What became Of the goose is not known
but it probably rejoined the flock later
on.

ENCOURAGING Enterprise.

1T is in no sense extravagant to
say that the fine spirit Of the n. K.
Fairbank Company which launches
its great Gold Dust Twins enterprise
should serve" as encourag cement to
people who have been disposed to be
pessimistic. 1t should bring to the
timid and the doubtful a realization
of the fact that this is time for ag-
gressive effort rather than for mac
tivity or ultra conservatism.
The Gold Dust Twins are going to
do their part in abolishing the gloom
in which too many people have re-
Gently been sitting. They are going
to brighten everything, the outlook
included.
This is a splendid time for people
who have never met the Gold Dust
Twins to make their acquaintance
They are certainly worth knowing.

How You May Change
Your Face Completely

Any woman not satisfied with her COM
pleXion can easily remove it and have a
new one. The thin, veil of sitting half
dead cuticle is an encumbrance and
should be removed to give the fresh. Wig
orous. young skin underneath a chance to
show itself and to breathe. There's
simple. old-fashioned remedy which will
always do the work. Get an ounce of
pure nerco!ized wax from your druggist
and apply it at night like cold cream,
washing il off in the morning. The wax
will gently absorb all the lifeless skin
and leave healthy and beautiful COM
pleXion, as fresh as chld's. Naturally
1t takes with it all such facial blemishes
as freckles, tan, moth patches, sallow-
ness, liver spots, pimples. 1t is pleasant

treated soon looks years younger
To keep the skin free from wrinkles
there's nothing quite so good AS the old
reliable saXoite lotion. II is only nee
essary to dissolve an ounce of powdered
saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and
battle the face in this as required-Adv.
