tion made of two enterprises that are of some
slight value to the town, viz, the Chester
Steam Mill Co., and the Union Soapstone
Finish Co., both located at Chester Depot.
These firms were not omitted because of their
minimum interest to readers but rather were
left until the last because of their importance
The Chester Steam Mill Co., manufacturing
chair stock employs 20 hands. Those inter
ested in this enterprise suffered great loss
but few weeks ago by the death Of the pro-
prietor, Mr.. Platt of Ashburnham. Mr.

NORWICH REFUGEE HEARD FROM.
Charles Baker In Hiding on Lambs
T0ngues-Threatens to Shoot Sheriff Hoff-

lODgueS-lhreatens to Shoot Sheriff f1Off-
A special to the Manchester Union Mon
day says:
Charles Bake, alias. Wilnk.a Sheits,
who was last heard from in Hanover, and
who is fugitive from Justice, being
wanted here for having stolen $40 from
James Brigham of Hanover and for having
felled Officer Hutchinson to the floor and
locked him in cell while the officer had
him under arrest, is suppc sed k1o be in
Norwich or Hanover, N. H., at the pres
ent time.
Baker is reported to be an esgaped con-
Wet and deserter from the English army
1t is believed he that has friends in Nor
wich, and it is said, also, that a family,
who apparently are friendly towards him,
live in Hanover. In that locality it would
be very easy to shield fugitive and to
supply him with the every day require
ments of life. A reason which might lead
Baker to remain in these parts, when he is
so much wanted by the authorities, is that
he is said to be enamoured Of young
woman living in Norwich. This may ac-
count for his running the risk.
One of the reasons given the writer for
the belief prevalent about Hanover that
Baker is still in the neighborbood is the
following Farmers in the western part of
Norwich and in the edge OF West Hartford
have lost many garden vegetables, etc of
late. Among such victims are John H.
Hazrn, Harper Savage, Mr.. Willis and
Mr.. Cavanaugh. Mr.. Hazen has also lost
ten sheep, which were shot through the
head. The jaw muscles OF the sheep had
been cut back far enough so that the tom
que could be entirely removed. The ton
que was missing, but the IT st Of the sheep
was untouched.
Friday farmer living in the vicinity
saw a strange man prowling about, but
did not get near enough to be able to
describe him. He gave the alarm and an
| effort was made to get party to capture
him. Word was telrgraphed to Sheriff
ii, flimsn here, but that official was at the
time unable to go to the place, and the
lack of head frustrated The attempt to
capture the stranger.
Another incident that is of interest in
connection with this case is the copy of the
following letter which Deputy Sheriff
| Hoffman found under his door few morn
irgs ago:
''Mr. Hoffman If
you don't stop doggiDg me around I'll put
bullet through you. ''BAKER."
Below was written land I'll burn your
buildings, too, can do both"
On comparing this note with some OF
Bakers handwriting they appeared to be
the same. Baker has peculiar way OF
making capital "B, and writes his name
with a space between the letter '.kn and
&C." This was found to be the case upon
both writings.
J. w. Armstrong of Norwich is positive
that he saw Baker in Norwich last Satur-
day evening, the night before Deputy
Hoffman found the note.

entertainment of the officers during mus
ter, must be gratifying return for their
labors, though we are happy to say that
more material evidence in the shape Of
handsome profits, is not unappre ciated by
the two townswomen.
1t is safe to say that never in the history
of the town were so many papers bought
and read as during the six days of the
muster here, and to the credit OF all it will
be acknowledged that the work of the sew
eral correspondents was faithfully and well
performed.
Not all of the patriotism OF our towns
people was spent last week, Tor signs OF an
enthusiastic sentiment linger IN the deco
raticns which remain in anu about our
homes.
1t was a great week for Young America
hereabouts, and the American eagle and
the flag freely shared in the ftD yities.
JeweIer Bickford disposed u. some zoo
neat badges during the muster.
The New II wen red man and his Sagawa
caught many boarded quarter on Adams
plain during the week.
No one SEE med to erioy the muster more
than our venerable Senator Morrill,, who
was entertaine by Col Pollard.
President Mckinley locked pale and
tired though he profess d the b st OF health
and was much pleased with the town and
the enthusiastic reception accorded him.
1t is surmised that almo t everybody
must have made little money last week,
save possibly the physicians. People were
altogether too busy to be ill.
''Thank you, dear, said President Nc
Kinley as a sweet little girl passed into his
carriage very pretty bouquet to which
was attached small barrel of choicest
spruce gum. Eleven larger, but none the
less attractive, dears presented similar
mementoes to the visitors. OK"

Deafness Canno be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by
remedies. Deafness il caused
by an intiamed condition of the mucous lin

is lnfiamed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il Is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is othiug

MIX EcNcr.


Milk fever is disease to be dread
cd by the mau who has first-class
dairy COWS, and who feeds and cares
for them iii such manner as to make
them large producers. The man with
scrub cows, that have to rustic for
themselves during the winter round
the straw stack, never suffers from loss
by milk fever when his cows come in
in the spring. 1t is true he gets no
profit out of his cows, and he rarely
gets product enough from them to paw
for the little feed and care they do
have. But he can, and does, console
himself by saying he never has milk
fever with his COWS like those men do
who stuff and pamper md baby their
cows ="
We have lost, within the past fifteen
years, several valuable cows with this
disease. We think we now know how
to prevent \ heifer with her first
calf never has it and very rarely with
the second calf A COW that is MIXED
continuously right up to calving is not
liable to have milk fever, Mt least we
have never known one to. We hest
tated to write that last sent ence for
fear some one would accuse us of adj
vocating continuous milking. That
we do not, but still feel bound to state
that fact. 4 COW that is starved, or
fed just enough to live on, will never
have milk fever.
One way is to dry the COW up six or
eight weeks before she is due to calve
unless she is such persistent mixer
rs to make that impracticable); Mt the
same time reduce her feed by taking
nearly, if not quite al, the grain from
her. Her bowels should be kept loose.
If the COW is in flush pasture, and she
Is one you have reason to believe like
~ to have milk fever, the only safe
way to do is to keep her upon dry feed.
We know it is hard for the mau who
has been in the habit of ''babying"
and petting his COWS and feeding them
to their full capacity to refuse them all
they want to eat, but it is the only
safe way to do with some of them.
After cow has had milk fever once
she is more liable than other COWS to
have 1T again, and if she does have it
second time she will he always most
sure to die. fIoard's Dairyman.

"A Patient Farmer.

The patience of the average Arkau-
sas farmer is abnormal. He Is never
In hurry, and he thinks that things
are bound to come right if he only
waits. He accepts with resignation
whatever destiny has In store fo- his1
and implicitly believes that circum-
stances makes the man aud not that
man may make circumstances and
thereby have any hand in the making
OF himself. The writer in passing
through the hills of upper Arkansas
found his progress stopped by a swift
ly flowing river. Toward the centre
of the river was a team, a wagon and a
man. The team was stationary and the
water eddied and foamed around it..
The man was complacently smoking a
pipe. Pushing his horse out into the
current, the writer approached the
team and the man evinced languid
interest in his approach.
why don't you move on?" was
asked.

Wagons locked. Back part swung

The rider fastened one end of a
rope to the tongue of the wagon and
the other end to the pommel of his
saddle. The vehicle was Strengthened
out and the horses sprang forward un.
der the lash. Soon the farmer and
his team were safely landed.
