in progress, and alighting upon the pulpit
solemnly said, The Lord has condemned
you, The minister made his escape at a

congregation hurried pellmell from the

KR GUIATOR Z

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the sKNG OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. 1t
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

Sign Nothing for a Stranger.

A new and cunning scheme is being
worked by certain sleek sharpers and I'M
fortunately several farmers are the inno-
cent victims. The schemer in this case
appears at the farmhouse and states that
he represents an eastern grocery house.
He offers to sell the farmer bill of gro
ceries and accept in payment eggs. The
schemer then gives the farmer note prom
Using to pay the face value in groceries,
while the farmer gives his note agreeing to
pay face value in eggs. Of course this
seems to be fair deal but the groceries
fail to appear. The farmers note appears
at the local bank for collection and there
is nothing for the farmer to do but pay the
same. The schemer has erased all refer
ence to the payment in eggs and the note
has to be settled in cash.

Freight Cars Collide.

Last Saturday evening about 5 o'clock a
detached car and moving freight train
collided on the B. & M. tracks short dis
lance south of the depot causing serious
wreck'ge. The freight train was slowly
pulling up the track when the detached car
which was standing on side track and
unbraked was started by the Earring and
rolled about four rods to the point where
the side track and main track connect Just
in the rear of Eaton & Norwood's coal
shed. The detached car and four cars OF
the moving train were derailed and badly
smashed. Jerry Keefe's coal shed was
roughly used, enough boards being torn
off to allow coal to scatter over the yard
and the tracks. The corner Of Eaton &
Norwood's shed also lost some paint and
slivers.
The car on the side track was loaded
with heavy paper machinery made by Os-
good & Barker for the Fall Mountain
Paper company and had been loaded on
the car that afte noon.

One Of Hoyt's Best.

The theatre going public of this vicinity
is pretty thoroughly acquainted with most
Of Mr.. Hoyt's plays, yet one of his COM
panies never comes to Bellows Falls with
out drawing large and appreciative house.
This was true of "A Texas Steer" which
was played in the opera house Monday
night. Quite percentage Of the audience
had seen this play once, twice or three
times before, yet all seemed to enjoy the
evening, some saying they had never seen
it played better even in the large cities.
The company is strong one and the cast
particularly adapted to the character Of the
play.
As political burlesque this play has
been marked success, but like most Of
Mr.. Hoyt's productions the picturing is
grossly overdrawn. There is probably not
a corner of territory in the United States
where man is forced to take office at the
point of bayonet, but when Brander de-
clares that the senate is the greatest club
in America he came very near telling the
truth.
Fun OF an extravagant sort and lots of it
is what "a Texas Steer" affords.
During the interval between the second
and third acts telegram from Joe Man
ley of Maine was read estimating the Re-
publican majority in that state at $4,000.
This caused greater applause than the best
efforts of the actors.

Joshua Simpkins Next Monday.

A play of realistic rural character. en-
titled Joshua Simpkins,o will be pro-
duced at the opera house next Monday
evening, September 81. The piece is said
to have plenty of life and vigor in it and
an ample supply Of wholesome fun and
laughter. The story told is of the rural
variety, and is said to be very similar to
the "Old Homestead" When we say there
is real saw-mill shown on the stage, with
real four-foot circular saw producing real
sawdust, and that one of the characters is
bound on log and dragged to within an
inch or two of its glittering teeth, we have
said enough to arouse the intense curiosity
OF attending visitors. A specially fine
orchestra is carried by the company, which
gives a variety of descriptive selections,
including all the musical numbers out. The
band will parade the principal streets about
noon.

eve won't do thing to them" This
was seen on the posters sent around by
the Keene base ball management before
the game last Saturday, and they didn't.
The game was called at $50 P. NJ, and
such game Keene has very seldom seen.
With Sanborn, the Boston University
pitcher, in the box for Keene, and with
their usual hard hitting team Bellows Falls
faced them. Charles Warn of Walpole
did the twirling for Bellows Falls and a
mastery game he pitched and was well
supported.
Too much credit cannot be given w. E.
Aver for his plucky work behind the bat
Before the game commenced he received
injuries which should have retired him
from the game and again in the ninth he
was taken off his feet by one Of the Keene
men. But BILLY" played out the tenth
inning amid the cheers Of the Bellows
Falls ''rooters."
Fine plays were numerous for both sides
the best for Bellows Falls being by Brown,
Bean and G. Blake.
Keene scored one in first and two in the
second and not again until the ninth. Bel
lows Falls scored their first in che
fourth, one in the seventh and two in the
first part of the ninth, making the score
to in our favor. Keene then came to
bat and two men were put out and with a
man on second ball was batted to center
and was thrown to third catching the man
at third and ending the game. Oh. no,
the umpire called the man safe at third and
the crowd groaned. Aver supposing the
man was out went to the bench and re-
moved his mask and Keene scored. The
ninth closed with Bellows Falls 4 and
Keene 4. In the tenth Keene scored one,
Bellows Falls being BANKED and the game
was ended. Score Keene 5, Bellows Falls 4.
The line up was as follows:
Bellows Falls C. Blake, IS DAILY, Bean
and Reynolds, bases; Warn and Aver,
battery; Brown, McCarty and H. Blake in
the field. Keene-Larkin, Higgins and
Coffey, bases; E. Donovan, j. Donovan
and Leahy, in the field; Linehan and San
born, battery; Shea, SIS.
GAME NEXT THURSDAY.
Keene plays here Thursday and no one
should miss it. We do not claim mot to
do thing with them" But whatever pace
is set by Keene, Bellows Falls will en-
deavor to follow.

Champion Eyaporator captured the first
premium at same date and for the past ten

Free Transportation for Bicycles.

The following will be presented to the
members of the legislature this fall:
Dear Sir: A movement is on foot
among the wheelmen Of Vermont to intro
duce bill during the coming session of
the Legislature providing for the free trans
portation of bicycles on all railroads with
in the state. A man and his wife travel
ing only 100 miles in the state are charged
S1.25 excess baggage" for wheel weigh
ing only AZ pounds, when they are entitled
to carry 800 pounds of any other baggage
free. Realizing from the recent election
that Vermonters, in the words of Senator
Proctor, are always right, we believe that
you cannot fail to see the injustice of this
charge. We protest against this discrimi-
nation, and we beg your earnest and favor
able consideration of the bill.
Yours respectfully,
Mt. KILBURN WHEEL CLUB.
The New York law which provides for
free transportation is quoted. A part of
the clause reads: Bicycles are hereby
declared to be and be deemed baggage for
the purposes of this article, and shall be
transported as baggage for passengers by
railroad corporations and subject to the
same liabilities, and no such passenger
shall be required to crate, cover or other
wise protect any such bicycle, provided,
however, that railroad corporation shall
not be required to transport, under the
provisions of this act, more than one
bicycle for single person"
We understand that there is concerted
action among wheelmen all over the state
favoring the enactment of law similar to
the New York law.
