THRILLING SHAM
BATTLE next SAT-
uRDAY At oRoNo
Co. G. of Bangor Will Defend
Bangor Against Attack
ing U. of M. Cadets
Much Powder Will
Be Burned

The most extensive and interesting
military maneuvres held in this section
for many years will take place at Orono
on Saturday next, when Co. g, Capt. D..
I. Gould. of Bangor will engage in a
sham battle with the University Of
Maine Cadets under command of Lieut..
Clark. U. s. A., detailed as military in
spector at the college Citizens will be
interested to watch the evolutions. which
will be on a regular army basis.
Capt. Gould and Lieut. Clark have ar
ranged the plan of campaign for the
sham battle. 1t is assumed that Canada
and the United States have declared war,
and while the United States is mobiliz-
ing Canada, having a large force near
the boundary, seizes several trains and
sends troops to this section. with Ban
gor as the objective point. Co. G is sent
out to hold the enemy in check until re-
endorsements can arrive from Augusta
It destroys a railroad bridge, forcing the
troops to detrain at Old Town and march
overland. Co. G takes a position to stop
them from crossing the bridge at Web
eter.
The attacking force consists of bat
talon and half, SO the problem is a
tough one for Co. G. The plan of Capt.
Gould is to delay the enemy as much as
possible while waiting for assistance.

and TO this end he will do all in his pow
CT, naturally, to deceive the invaders as
20 his real intentions and make a most
determined stand at all hazards. AS the
attacking force will number 80 to 50l
men under q trained and skilful CON-
mander, CO. G will certainly have all il
wants in the way of hard work and ex-
element to hold its own. Capt. Gould
and Lieut.. Clark are ignorant of each
others plans, making the game thrill
ing one.
The experience and training will be in
valuable for the men in assimilating ac-
tual conditions under regular army
rules.

E. Southland and regular army officers
will be the judges.
Gov. Curtis and his Council have been
invited and are expected to witness these
sham battles. Co. G has received a large
stock of blank ammunition and there
will be plenty of noise and excitement.
After the battle Lieut.. Clark will en-
terrain all the officers.
Co. G will take special trolley cars a,
80 a. NJ. on Saturday. and it is ex-
pected that the battle will commence at
about 9. Members of Co. had some ex-
celient practice at the rifle range on
Sunday. Twenty qualifying at so yards,
which is considered fine shooting. The
base ball and track teams are getting
in some fine practice and are expected to
make good showing later.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inf'aned
you have a runbiing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.

AS briefly stated last week the com
mission appointed under an act OF
the legislature TO codify the irriga-
ton and drainage laws of the state
have completed their Investigations
and are now busy preparing their re-
port to be made to the governor. The
visit of the commission here was
brief, although they traversed the
tract from Miner TO Bliss, spending
about an hour In Jerome, where they
met few and talked matters over,
but their report OF conditions on the
North Side tract are to the effect that
they found everything In excellent
shape and a seeming desire on the
part OF the settlers to take hold with
new vigor this year. This they con-
slider is due to the new extension
agreement which was put in vogue
the past year. and as the majority oi
the settlers seem satisfied. II was moi
the desire of the commission to stil
up any trouble and so no public meet
ings were held here.
IL needs no report of any commit
tee to establish the fact that th'
North Side is this year forging ahea'
as never before. A little trip int
the country in any direction will dem
onstrate this. On every hand yol
will see the sage brush rapidly dis
, appearing. and II is estimated that a
least 6000 acres of new land wi
have been put under the plow thi
: season. Crops never looked better
and in addition to the hay crop whic
is now being put up. there are man
l acres of as fine looking grain as ca
| be seen anywhere
4 Not only this, but a vast change
notaiceable among the settlers on III
= tract. A year or so ago everyor
|. seemed blue and discouraged. but
look into the faces of the average Sc
( tier at the present time shows a CO.
= tented appearance. bearing with 1t
feeling that from now on prosperi
a is going to smile on the efforts OF a
