Mischief Due to Constipation and
Violent Cathartics.

SPRINGFIELD, May "a. There have
been good many astonished and scared
faces in the insurance offices here this
week.
Men have marched in with heads erect
and fall of confidence in their ability to
pass the insurance examinations and
have come out worried and thoughtful.
The rejection of many applicants for
insurance policies has greatly startled
people and set them to thinking; and has
given a serious character to certain
troubles that have been considered trih-
ing. Men and women to all outward ap-
pearance we'll, learn from their physi-
clans that the pains and the sense of
pressure in the head which often troubles
them, their confusion of ideas. flushing
of the face. noises ia the ears, drowsi-
ness. sometimes nausea and faintness
with dyspepsia attacks are the invariable
forerunners of apopIeXy. These signs of
approaching disease should not be aj-
lowed to continue. 1t is suicidal to put
of attending to them.
DIR. Edward T. Howard whose inVesti-
CATION into the cause of this increase has
been pursued so vigorously and with
such fortunate results, says that it is un-
doubtedly true thSt apopleXy is preceded
for a considerable time by premonitory
symptoms.
The interest in DR.. Howard's specific
for the cure of dyspepsia, constipation
aud the prevention of apoplexy has
naturally of late redoubled. The medi-
cal journals in discussing the large death
rate from apoplexy and the consequent
action on the part of the Insurance com
panies say that -'whie habitual constipa-
ton and Indigestion bring on apoplectic
attacks. vet the trouble is usually ap-
gravated by taking strong cathartics
which bring reaction which tends to
paralvze the coats of the iatestines. The
small granules of DR.. Howards specific
are recommended by the medical fra
ternty for their gentle. healthful action
upon the stomach. liver and intestines.
A superiority which thew possess over all
liver and stomach pills Is that the dose is
small at the start and becomes gradually
less till the digestive organs are in per-
fectly normal condition. DIR. Howard's
specific is entirely vegetable and nos
sesses this excellence which is impossi-

"TWenty Years After
DUMAS NOVEL OUTDONE.

Among the many well-to-do farmers
whose broad acres lie in the town of Ira
there is none better known, or who com.
mands greater respect, than Mr.. l.. NJ.
Mann. In residence of over forty
years in this town, Mr.. Mann's word has
always been considered unimpeachable
and the following story from him will
therefore carry weight: For a period
of over twenty years my daughter has
been troubled with a severe form of de-
rangement of her liver and kidneys, pro-
ducng a dropsical affection which was
intermittent in its attacks. During
them, her arms and hands even to the
tinger-tips would swell to a prodigious
size and headaches and sleeplessness
would follow, while the pain she suffer
ed was agonizing. These attacks occur
red at intervals of from two to three
weeks, and she has suffered tortures for
all these twenty years. Last spring
bought bottle of Story's Kidney and
Liver Cure, and though she lakes II
daily now, she is practically well. The
attacks have entirely ceased and
believe her to be in better health
than she has known in nearly a quarter
century. Story's Kidney and Liver
Cure has, in my opinion, no equal fol

Bill Nye, who has recently printed a
history of the United States, remarks
therein that we have more liberty than
we need. He says:
When Patrick Henry put his old cast
iron spectacles on the top of his head
and whooped for liberty, he did not
know that some day we should have
more of of it than we knew what to do
with. He little dreamed that the time
would come when we should have more
liberty than we could pay for. "
it seems to me that we have too much
liberty in some ways. We have more
liberty than we have money. We guar
antee that every man shall fill himself
up full of liberty at our expense, and the
less of a American he is the more liberty
he can have. The more | study Amerl-
can institutions the more | regret | was
not born a foreigner, so that | could
have something to say about the man
agement of our great land. If | could
not be foreigner believe | should pre-
fer to be policeman or an Indian not
taxed. Almost everyone can have a
good deal of fun in America except the
American. He seems so busy paying
his taxes that he has very little time to
vote or to mix up with the nobility.

dustries. At any rate, the powers that
be have decreed the nomination of Col.
Mansur, and nominated he probably will
be.
The Vailites and the Lincolnites and
the Batesites will have season of
mourning after the convention, of course,
but in the end all of them will fall to and
support the ticket.and we shall doubtless
have an harmonious and red-hot cam
paign.
Col. Mansur is, we understand, an
eminently respectable parsonage, but a
chronic office-holder. Since the war he
has been, plain private citizen
but very few years. If northern
Vermont has any of the "old FOUNDERS
about whom we have heard SO much the
past few months, he is certainly one OF
them.

A SHOOTING AT BENSON.

Benson had a shooting scrape on Tues
day night of last week, when one Oliver
Larose fired upon and hit George and
Edward Norton, aged respectively eight
and fourteen years, iriuring the younger
one seriously. All those concerned live
on the lake shore. On the night of the
shooting the boys were going through a
path in the brush, when Larose and two
companions appeared. Larose took ii
loaded musket out of the hands of one
of the two with him and fired. Larose
has claimed that he took the boys for a
bear. but his stories do not hold together.
He has been held in $500 for appearance
before the grand jury at the September
term of the Rutland county court to
answer to the charge Of assault with
intent to kill.

SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE

Constable Fred Wheeler of Hancock
on Thursday night of last week shot and
fatally hurt Henry Burnham, one of a
band of gypsies, whom he was trying to
arrest. A hearing was had at Hancock
Saturday, when it appeared that Wheeler
had done the shooting in self-defense,
and he was discharged. States Attor-
ney Fish represented the State in the
inquiry. Burnham and his band, which
included Henry Forest, cousin, former
ly of Middlebury, had been in this place
only few days before the shooting.
Burnham, 1t was claimed by resident
of Hancock, had committed some depre-
dations for which he wanted him arrest
ed. 1t appeared at the hearing that
Burnham resisted arrest and attacked
the constable with a club. =

The chief interest and all the contests
in the county campaign center in the sen-
atorships. The candidates in the north
end are Messrs. ID. II. Lewis of Ver-
gennes and E. A. Hasseltine of Bristol.
The Bristol caucus selected Hasseltine
delegates, his opponents doing nothing to
prevent that result. Vergennes and Fer
risburgh have both chosen solid Lewis
delegations, So far as Middlebury and
its vicinity are concerned, the sentiment
is in favor of Mr.. Lewis candidacy,
largely for the reason that Vergennes
has not had a senator for eighteen years
and so is fairly entitled to one when it
comes forward with good man. In this
end of the county there are three aspf-
rants for senatorial honOrs, Messrs. l..
G. Needham of Leicester. ii. S. Brook
ins of Shoreham and DR.. w. n. Platt of
Shoreham. Shoreham will have its eau

ElRE AL RELpENs.

The pulp mill of the Belden's Falls
Pulp company at Beldens, three miles
north of here, was burned Tuesday
evening with its contents. The fire
broke out between and s o'clock
Bert Whittemore, one of the hands,
went down into the lower story to look
after things and found that part of the
structure all afire. The flames spread
very rapidly and before anything could
be done the building was past saving.
The fire then got into the logs piled in
the yard, and large number of these,
probably about 100000 feet, together
with some 100 cords of wood. were
burned.
As soon as the fire broke out a messen-
ger was sent TO Middlebury for aid. The
old hand engine was first taken up, but
as this could not cope with the flames,
the steamer was called into service. That
did effective work in preventing the fire
from attacking the mill of the Smith Il
Brainerd Marble Co. and the finishing
shops OF Adams & Bacon. AS it was,
only the power house of these establish
ments was consumed.
The worst part of the fire was that in
the logs, which burned more or less all
the next day. The steamer was kept at
work, however, and finally drowned the
fire out.
The mill and contents were insured
for $4,000, which probably does not
covet the loss. There was no insurance
on the logs and wood. The Smith &
Bralnerd company had $1,000 insurance
on its power house and the loss is esti-
mated at $500.
1t is likely that the pulp mill will be
rebuilt. The marble mill is unable to do
business because of the loss of its power
house. 1t is hoped that the shutdown
of the latter establishment will not ex-
papd fwO weeks.
