AS in The case of Fire Chief Runge,
the beginning of poor health is very
apt to rob one of the will power to
START Immediately about getting out of
danger. 1t is this inertia of poor health
| that makes an ordinary running
down" bodily condition SO dangerous,
and so likely to go on to something
worse. Every day it is clearly shown
that it WON'T do to live tired.out, aud
on the verge Of breaking down. The
languor and the lack of strength are
sure to increase.
| Now is the time to throw off disease.
AS the new year begins there are
| fewest hindrances to getting back
strength and sturdy health. The brac-
ing weather arouses longing for health.
Paine's celery compound, taken now
does its best service toward driving out
disease and establishing firm health.

The position, chief of fire department
in a big city like Minneapolis, with
it's acres of valuable building property,
crossed by numerous railroad lines and
dotted with factories where the fires are
never banked" is one of the utmost
responsibility, and can be entrusted
only to man ofunquestioned character
and ability.
August H. Runge, who has filled
this responsible position for several
years with so much credit to the city,
was born in New York in 1922, where
he received a common school education.
What such a man as this has 10 say

it.

NEWELL, THE HEALER.
Great Excitement in BrattleborO and Vicinity
Wonderful Cures Newell Offered SIS.
600, to go to New York.

Bradley c. Newell, the jacksonville
Schlatter, continues the center of CONVEX
sation and wonder. He was at the Brooks
house in Brattleboro all day Wednesday
and was visited by over 800 people suffer-
ing from all kinds Of diseases. Some had
rheumatism, some were blind, some deaf,
some had asthma; whatever the trouble.
and whether of high or low degree, the
services of the great healer were sought.
Wednesday he had room on the second
floor of the Brooks house and at times the
hallway was crowded with waiting patients.
His method is simply the laying on OF
hands. He says bis power is a mystery
that he does not understand himself. Some
he helps and some he does not.
His cures are now all the talk in Brattle-
boro. People come for miles to see him.
He left for Jacksonville Thursday shortly
after noon where 80 or 40 from Boston
Greenfield and other towns were AWAITING
his return home, some having been there
three days.
One remarkable thing is that Newell
charges nothing for his services. If the
patient wishes to pay him something he
accepts it. After treating over 800 people
Wednesday. he did not have over $50 le1,
after paying his bills. Most of the patients
said :. Thank you" and got out.
Several parties from the cities have been
trying to get hold of him for financial pur-
poses. The Springfield Union offered "a
take him to Springfield and give him the
freedom of the city. Wednesday evening
party from New York offered him
$4,000 to come to a hospital in New
York for one year, and there were several
other similar offers. Newell, however
refused them all. and said he had too much
to do in his blacksmith shop in jackson.

court In accordance with this request
and the approval OF the bank commits
sioners an injunction has been granted by
Judge Wallace of the supreme court,
dated February ID, 1896, restraining your
officers from receiving or paying deposits.
The trustees deeply regret that the action
OF the depositors have rendered this neces-
sary, and trust that confidence may soon
be restored thereby making the injunc-
ton of short duration. The trustees firm

and that the assets are more than ample,
after meeting any probable depreciation,
to cover all liabilities in full. BY order OF

Sullivan Bank Of CIaremont Goes Under.

The doors of the Sullivan Savings Insti
tuition of Claremont were closed by in
junction yesterday. The bank is one Of
the oldest institutions of its kind in the
State of New Hampshire, having been
chartered in 1885, Its closing will shake
the town from center to circumference,
because there are now upward Of 5000 de-
positors on its books, principally farmers,
and this in spite of the heavy Withdrawals
made last year, amounting to over half a
million OF dollars, with the supplementary
outgo of $3.50, 900 since January |.
Bank Commissioner Thomas Walker OF
Concord said: owe have had the Clare
mont Savings Bank under our considera-
'tion for several me nths, chiefly because
I'VE found that out of 81 ,452 ,302.17 in se-
curities represented in their resources there
were 1926, 203.44 in loans secured by
these western farm mortgages and western
city mortgages, there being $4,000 in
Guided in the latter. Most of these have
not been paying interest for the past year
or two because of failure in the crops. We
considered that almost 30 per cent of the
resources of the bank invested in such UNI
certain mortgages as these was too much
for the institution to safely rely upon, and
therefore we said so. Those figures were
given us upon the date of the last report,
October 20, 1895.
The failure of the bank is due wholly to
large investment in western mortgages
