Dur citizens were surprised last
week, by r. II. Utley, super
intendent Of electric plant, being
taken to Oshkosh, Wis, by an Off
,cef on the charge Of larceny. It
appears that there had been miss
I'M aseYeral tools from the electric
III - e. ! u
|Ivisle III. Utley was va mpioyed
there. The company have been
Watching parties using tools Of 9
similar kind to locate them il pos
sible. Instructions were sent here
to the authorities to examine Mr..
Utley's tools and if auy found with
the Oshkosh company's marks on
to advise, them. None were found
except a speed indicator with
no3marks except the maker, that
being the same as the company's.
This instrument was sent them for
Identification, ,basing their claim on
the manufacturers mark, the sup
erintendent made a complaint.
Mr.. Utley went to Oshkosh Sat-
urday to set the matter right. The
instrument was his personal prop
erty; like q great many mechanics
and machinists he had this to bet
ter enable him to be more success
full5in his profession and very few
small electric light plants have an
instrument of this kind. The
charges being without foundation
were dismissed without trial. Mr..
Utley was nota prisoner nor treat
ed as one at any time. .g.:~ rs.
The superintendent at Oshkosh,
greatly regrets the hasty action in
making the complaint. Mr.. Utley
previous to his employment here,
placed the electric light plant at
Phillips, Wis, in excellent condi-
ton and was we'll liked. Since his
residence here he has been
found ! straightforward and up
right man, giving the village good
service and is worthy Of the peo-
ple's conf hdence. .5.s .s%.... q.

: The ladies were not out in full
force as last year but there work was
none the less earnest. A free lunch
room was run BY them in the old
Union Mercantile Co. store building
and the entrance to the village office
was surrounded by women distribut-
ing no license tickets.
Tuesday night was a great time for
the license people and they made
the most of their victory. An old
base drum furnished the music,
which at intervals could be heard all
night long. 81 ,z*. h., s-#!"=s.
As to the officers elected, they are
representative citizens of Worthing-
ton and will conduct the affairs of
the village in a proper manner. Mr.
Forbes, the president elect, is a large
property owner Of Mobiles county
and is one Of the oldest residents of
our town and as presiding officer of
our village law makers will advance
the interests Of the town. Messrs.
Pannell, Glasgow and Grundsten
have all held the offices Of trustee be-
fore and have always been credit to
the Office, *.@@s
The change taken from last year,
from IS majority against license to

We have had one year Of no license
and now themajority desire . change.
This was the first experience Of
voting by the Australian system at

We understand one Of our most In
Auential citizens Dan Shell fostered
this bill and much credit is due him
for q quiet election. s5.

WATERFORD.

A most satisfactory entertainment was
given at the Upper Waterford church on
Wednesday evening. Notwithstanding
the bad weather, the church was well
filled with delighted audience. Too
much praise cannot be given some OF
the participants, who drove many miles
in pouring rain TO lend their services.
A handsome sum was realized for the
benefit of the society, in fact the largest
returns yet realized from any similar
undertaking. Mrs. Clara Dow Hooker
OF Peacham was the iavorite in both
vocal and instrumental renditions. Mrs.
William Silsby of Littleton, N. H., also
pleased the audience. Miss Beatrice,
young daughter of Nathan Kinnie, did
finely. Miss Julia Pike was peculiarly
happy in her Evolutionary work. W. l.
Tyler Brigham OF Chicago in several
declamatons kept up the standard of his
reputation lett on his previous visit a
year ago. The exercises concluded with
delicious spread, wherein chicken pie
was conspicuous, and all proved them
selves accomplished artists in discussing
what was abundantly provided. The
success of the entertainment reflects
great credit on the projectors, especially
Mrs. Caro- Kinnie of the local commit tee.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammaton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its former condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circular, free.

were arrested last Saturday and con-
veyed to Newport Jail. This gang occu-
pied house on a back road between

room. Mr.. Pettigrew heard a fall,
looked back and saw his mother lying
across the sitting-room threshold He
FASTENED down and called help, but it
was OF no avail, She gave one or two
gasps and then passed away. Just
few minutes before Mrs. Pettigrew's
daughter Julia and husband Mr..
Hutchins had left the house where every.
thing seemed happy and cheerful, but
now they were quickly summoned back
to be told of the death of beloved
mother, thing almost impossible for
them to believe.
Mrs. Pettigrew was born in November,
1884, at Bartlett, N. H., and her maiden
name was Mary Elizabeth Hall. She
was the only girl in family of thirteen
children and was the favorte one. Four
of the family are now living. At the age
of 1S, on July 20, 1851, she was married
to Robert Pettigrew in New York city.

and then came to Lyndon, settled on the
Otis Evans farm on Bemis hill, lived
there number of years and then moved
to Lyndonville, where Mr.. Pettigrew
erected an elegant house. Mr.. Petit.
grew died November 5, 1887. Mrs.
Pettigrew is survived by five children
Mrs. Henry Watson. Lyndonville; Mrs.
Frank E. Place, Peoria, H.. John, OF
Springfield, Mass; Sarah E. Quimby OF
Lyndon Robert, Of Lyndonville, who
married Myrtella Randall of st. Johns
bury; and Mrs. Julia Hutchins who
resides in the home place. Two children
have died, Jennie and Mrs. Orville J..
Qumby.
The funeral was conducted at her late
residence Monday afternoon, Rev. H. H.
Hoyt officiating, and Rev. j. c. Bodwell
assisting. Three selections were rem
dered by the following quartette: Mrs.
B. G. Morrison, Mrs. II. M Pearl, H. F.
Balch, H. c. Wilson. The floral offerings
were numerous and the most beauti ul
ever seen in Lyndon. Four sons-in-law
acted as bearers: Everett Hutchins,
Frank Place, Henry Watson and Orville
Quimby. The interment was in the
family lot at Lyndon Center.
Mrs. Pettigrew was an excellent lady,
deeply attached to her home and beloved
by many. Since the death of her husband
she has had the management OF large
property and has handled it with ability
Many have been benefited by her gener
osity, and she will be. much missed, espe
cially in her beautiful home.
