Ellis made arrangements at once for
other quarters for both himself and w'ce,
other than their present domicile at the
home of DR." Dyer.
Dyer was loquacious witness and
was several times restrained from giving
too much testimony. He told Of the loss
of the articles and his suspicion Of Ellis.
Ellis admitted that he had pawned the
watch, chain and razor. which was given
to him by a man for this purpose. For
them he received the sum Of 81, which he
gave to the man giving him the watch to
pawn. Later he redeemed them for $50.

Dyer Ellis named the man whom he
said had given him the goods to dispose
of and the court Immediately became sus-
picious that he was not adhering strictly
to the truth The man was brought to
court and at once disclaimed all knowl-
edge Of the affair. Mrs. Ellis appeared to
be the woman in the case and when
Ellis was asked regarding Or" Dyers

The court before imposing sentence
stated that he did not hold the complain
ant entirely blameless and suggested that
he be a little more careful of the conduct
of his callers. Attorney Goodspeed made
a splendid argument for the leniency Of
the court and the result must have been
eminently satisfactory to him and his
client.

SPECIAL MEETING
HAS SUDDEN END

A special meeting Of the city govern
ment which was called for Monday
night to consider proposed bond issue
to care for the extension of the Hassam
paving in the city, came to a sudden
end when it was discovered that the
warrant and the return of the marshal
had not been signed and the marshal
was out Of the city making it impos-
sible for him to appear. The meeting
had been called by the mayor at the
request of the committee on streets
which had voted that strip of Has
sam paving be built on Main and APP
pleton streets if bond issue could be
passed to pay for it. A canvass of the
members of the city government found
a majority of them agreeing to vote
for it, but Monday night, Aldermen
Cowan Of Ward l and Butler Of Ward
2 had experienced a change of mind
and declared they were to vote for an
amendment introduced by Alderman
Pulsifer of Ward 4 which would turn
the money to be used for paying on the
Brook street school and the Hayden
brook sewer

FAIRFIELD
Work on New Railroad Bridge
Showing Much Progress
Much Cement Used
TO PLAY OAK.
LAND WEDNESDAY

The work on the new railroad bridge
from the town across the Kennebec river
to Benton has reached an interesting
stage. Three piers are being constructed
on the Fairfield end and one abutment on
the west side Of Main street is we'll under
way. All the foundations for the bridge
on this ide of the river have been filled
with cement and rocks, the cement being
carried from the mixer on the west side
Of Main street by cars running on a mar
row track across the road to the bank Of
the river. All foundations for the piers
and that for the abuttment have been
filled level with the ground and now the
forms are being made to hold the cement
which will form the upward structure of
the abuttment. The work Of mixing the
cement. crushed rock and sand, and the
carrying and filling in is very interesting
to a large number Of spectators.
On the Benton side, the trestle to the
first island has been completed and a
travelling crane is busily travelling back
and forth on the newly laid track in max
ing Golfer dam to construct the piers
in the stream. A large abuttment which
marks the end Of the bridge on the Ben
ton shore is fast nearing completion. the
cement work on this being about half
done and the forms raising into the air
to the level of the great mound are being
filled. A three-foot track has been laid
across the trestle on which an engine of
small dimension is hauling rocks. rails,
lumber and other supplies to the island.
Foundations for the piers across the
90
fill them up and with this done the con-
crete work on this great construction will
be completed and the steel workers will
relieve those already on duty. 1t is ex-
pected that the piers will not be fully
constructed for about two months when
the steel framework for the railroad
bridge will be laid. job expected to last
at least six months.

enforcement Rumania would be in a
position to deal powerful blow to
Bulgaria from the north in conjunction
with the Allies drive from the south.
1t has been generally understood that
Russia has been willing to concede the
province of Bessarabia, the population
of which is very largely Rumanian, in
return for Rumanian cooperation in
the war. Bessarabia is $4,000 square
miles in extent and has a population Of
nearly 100000.
Unofficial reports from Salonih say that
Italian troops have landed there and will
Join in the general offensive. This. II cor
roborated, means that Italy has finally
decided to formally declare war on Ger
many, as the Germans are admittedly d.
recting the Bulgarian campaign.
Fierce fighting continues in the re-
gion Of Stokhod, on the Eastern front,
where the Russian advance menaces
both Kovel and the German positions
at Pinsk.
The battle on the crest Of the Car
pathians Is also still raging, both
sides claiming minor successes.
On the Western front there has been
no material change.

Monday was one of the most OPP
pressive days that the city has expe-
rienced this year. The thermometer
was up around the 100 mark all day
and everyone who had work to do was
sweltering in the heat. The sun beat
down intensely and even in the shade
it was a day in which about everyone
suffered. Workmen in the big manu-
featuring plants said that it was the
hottest day that they had ever known
there. The heat moderated in the late
afternoon. a good breeze springing up
and the evening was fairly comfort
able, although one did not have to
move about a great deal to start the
perspiration.

Here Are the Improvements

Albodon contains the highest
percentage of actual cleansing
and polishing properties Of any
dentifrice on the market, SO it Is
certain to clean best.
1t is sufficiently but safely an
tiseptic without containing
dangerous chemical.
1t is absolutely free from grit.
1t has no coloring matter.
1t is more economical than
any other dentifrice because
less of it is required for each
cleansing.
1t has a delightful Smack
likable taste that leaves the
mouth cool and refreshed
it is perhaps the only cream or
paste which positively will not
harden under any climatic con-
ditions whatever, with the cap
on or off.
AIbodon is in every respect
especially ideal for children.
