How Happiness Is Secured.

Happiness is the absence Of pain or
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion of the body indicates a disor-
der of some kind. If there is any
odor or color or deposit in the urine
itmeans disease Hdrequires attention
at once. We have heard many of our
friends speak Of the remarkable power
Of Warner sSafeK Kidney andLiver Cure
and are convinced there is nothing so
certain and valuable for all disorders
Of the urinary system both male and
female.

checks the movement of supplies from
that direction.

THE Case of David r. straw

William J. Sutherland of Chicago, who, as
heretofore stated in these columns has caused
the arrest of David r. Straw of Guilford, Me-,
on a charge of conspiracy, Monday applied to
Judge Lowell of the United States Circuit
Court at Boston for a removal of the case from
the State to the Federal Courts. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Straw was first arrested in
Maine and released ON bail, and then arrested
in Boston and held in $500 bail by Judge
Lord--all on the same charge of conspiring to
injure Mr.. Sutherland's character in Maine, in
which damages of $4,000 are claimed The
action in the Maine court was discontinued be-
fore the arrest in Boston took place. Judge
Lord was applied to for a writ of habeas corpus
which was granted, and the defendant was re-
leased on $500 bail, the Judge expressing at
the same time doubt of the legality of Mr..
Straw's arrest so soon after the discontinuance

amount of bail at $4,000, at the same time ex-

Captain John Larrabee,

We noticed yesterday the death of Capt.
John Larrabee, one of the leading citizens of
Scarboro. He was the descendant of John
Larrabee, who revived the Scarboro Settle
ment in 1902, and with eight men defended
the fort against 500 French and Indians the
next year. The Larrabees had great reputa-
ton as soldiers. The late John Larrabee bore
the title of captain, having held that rank in
the State militia. He was elected Representa-
tive of his town in 1851, reelected in 1852, and
twice appointed to fill vacancies in the Legisla-
ture. He was one of the men who voted for
the first prohibitory liquor law, and has always
been an active temperance man and a political
leader in his town. He married Asenath Nc
Kenny in 1882, who survives him, with four
children.
The funeral will be held this afternoon at 9
O'Clock
