The Regal Buzz Saw in the
show window of the firm of
Sherburne & Dailey aroused con
siderable excitement on Satur
‘day. Hundreds of people watched
the operator as he ripped and slashed
Regals in every way imaginable to
show lust what the shoes are made of.
The “insides” of the shoes were clearly
disclosed showing the linings, Oak-barx
tanned soles, whole lifts in the heels,
Oak-bark tanned counters and toe
boxes, and other parts used in making
Regals—parts which are of vital impor
tance but which are hidden from the
sight of the purchasers. Of course the
onlookers began to wonder what was in
the shoes they were wearing and made
comparisons. Many went into the store
and came out later in a pleasant mood
with a box under their arms.
According to a story which Is go
ing the rounds of the postoffice two
of the expert perch fishermen who are
employed in the office rather turned
the tables on some of their friends a
few days ago. The boys were going
fishing out to Togus pond and a few
of their friends with a view of having
some fun with them engaged some
fish, some wanting six perch and
others more, but never expecting that
the boys would bring home more than
enough for themselves, if they brought
any at all. But the fishing was good
and the fishermen each landed a good
string. They staid late, however, and
when they arrived In Augusta it was
long past bedtime. They did not for
get their friends or wait untU morn
ing, but calling at the house of each
in succession they made the man of
the family come down to the front
door and then amused themselves by
projecting the number of fish wanted
at his shins. And it is said that there
was some pretty lively dancing in or
der to avoid the prickly fins of the
perch.

FOR PIMPLES, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overnight.
A few months ago the dispensers of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre
vious to that time it could only be ob
tained direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of any
thing introduced to the drug trade in
the last 30 years. All leading drug
gists, including Coughlin's Pharmacy
in Augusta are now carrying the spe
cial aO-cent size recently adopted, also
the $2 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered ttiat, in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal im
mediately, and cures chronic cases in
a few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne,
herpes, blotches, rash, etc., results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge,
by the Emergency Laboratories, 32
West Twenty-fifth Street, New York
City.

LAWYERS CONDEMN STATUTE.
Don’t Like Law Under Which W. F.
Walker Was Sentenced.
Hartford, Conn., July 27.—Lawyers
who have studied the indeterminate
sentence law as applied to the case of
William E. Walker, the embezzler,
sentenced to Wethersfield prison Sat
urday to a term from one to 20 years,
have given their opinion that the
prisoner can be paroled after serving
one year.
Judge A. F. Eggleston, who retired
as state’s attorney a short time ago,
leaving his successor to conduct the
prosecution of Walker as his first case,
has denounced the law. In an inter
view he says he is not worried about
Walker's getting out in short order,
but for moral effect, he believes the
minimum should have been four or
five years.
Of tlit* securities stolen by Walker
bonds to the amount of $120,000 have
entirely disappeared, the coupons on
them not having been cashed. Treas
urer Stanley of the Savings Bank of
New Britain says that Walker lias not
shown any disposition to tell where
the bank securities went to.
A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
Young Man Slain By Unknown Mur
derer at Cleveland.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 27.—W ith a
bullet wound just over his heart, a
young man who is registered as l.ouis
Weber is said to he dying at Charity
hospital. Hack of the shooting is a
mystery which the police of Cleveland
and Cleveland Heights, a fashionable
suburb where it occurred, had not
been able to solve early today.
Weber had been walking in the
heights with a Miss Agnes Atkinson,
the police say. The girl said that
while they were sitting on the grass
two men dashed through some bushes
Site said the men seemed greatly ex
cited. One held a revolver in his hand
and as he ran past them, fired. The
bullet struck the girl's companion,
passing through his arm into his
breast jusi above the heart. The men
disappeared as quickly as they came,
the girl said.
Wood, the Kansas City pitcher, is
spoken of very highly by Addie Juss,
the Cleveland expert.

Several Week’s End Parties*»Notes
Of the Many Visitors.
Belfast, July 27.—(Special).—The la
dies of the Class of 1899, Belfast High

recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick W. Brown, Cedar street,
when Mrs. Willis Arnold, nee Miss
Edith Brown of Springfield, Mass., en
tertained. This is the first time since
graduation that the class has been
re-united and the affair was one of
great enjoyment. A delicious Picnic
supper was served in the summer
house at « o'clock, after which they
sat around and “reminisced,” as one
of them termed it. Among those pres
ent were Mrs. Cyril Cook of Franklin,
Mass., nee Miss Blanch Rockwell; Mrs.
Cleora Haney Read, Mrs. Carrie
Kingsbury Brink water. Miss Edith
Dunlon, Miss Helen Bird, Miss Ada
Mariner, Miss Edith West, Miss Ma
rian Wells, Mrs. Marion Hayford
Mosher of Belfast; Miss Louise Rich
ards of Farmington; Miss Alice Hills
of Boston.
Other members of the class not pres

While fishing on Pitcher’s pond re
cently a party of Belfast men saw a
bi,r buck come down to the pond am
swim across to the other side, going
within 100 yards of the boats. He then
went up on the bank and began to
feed without the least apparent tear.
The biggest catch made in the pond
(his year and said to be the biggest
fis., ever taken out of Pitcher’s pond,
was made Saturday by Claude B.
Roberts of Belfast. The fish was a
black bass weighing five pounds and
measuring 21 inches. Tt took over 20
minutes to land the beauty. Mr. Rob
erts is a very persistent and a very
lucky fisherman and has made some
nice catches in Swan lake.
IV. william C. Libby of Belfast was
a week-end guest at Alhambra, Pitch
