We live in country of which the principal
scourge is stomach.trou
1t is more wide spread than any other disease,
and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is that it
Is 80 little understood
II 1t were better understood, 1t would be more
feared more easily cured, less universal than it
Is now.
SO, those who wish to be cured take Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because 1t goes to the root OF
the trouble as no other medicine does. The pure,
harmless, curative herbs and plants of which 1t 4
composed, a-e what render IL so certain and,
at the same time, 80 gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach, purihes
and tones up the system.

Death of CnlvIn E. Carpenter.

One of the most sudden and unexpected
deaths that has occurred in this town for
a long time was that OF Calvin L. Carpen-
ter, who died at his home on Sunday, Oct
81, at / o'clock =. NJ. He had been in US
ual health and was at the village on Thurs
day afternoon. The fatal disease was
stomach trouble from which he has been
sufferer for a long time. Mr.. Carpenter
was the oldest son Of Calvin and Rosina
Joy) Carpenter and was born in Stamford
Nov 9, 1914 Most Of his life has been
spent in Wilmington. He was married to
Miss Flora II. Ware May %, 1866. Mrs
Carpenter survives him, also three chill
dren-Nrs. G. l.. Griffin Of New York
Mrs. Fred May and George, an adopted
son. MIR. Carpenter was an active, stir
ring man, a good neighbor and worthy
citizen, and he will be greatly missed by a
large circle of friends and relatives. He
had strong attachment for his family and
in return was beloved by them. In 1882
he united with the Baptist church in this
place and has held various positions of
trust and confidence in that society. He
never sought public office, preferring to
give his time and energies to his own pri-
vate affairs. The funeral was largely at
tended Tuesday, Rev. L. c. Rood speaking
words of comfort and consolation, basing
his remarks upon Job ", Is. The inter-
ment was in Riveryiew cemetery.

Remington Was Easy.

There have been further developments in
regard to the man claiming the name of
Smith, and pre- ending to be the son-in law
of H. P. Bradley, who recently visited
Bennington to the sorrow of the business
men of the place. He had several certified
checks, ranging in amount from SO to
$4,000, and others in when the amount
was not filed in, Smith explaining that he
had left them in that way because he did
not know how much money he would need
in Bennington. 1t has been learned since
the checks were cashed that there is no
such bank as the one they were drawn on.
To avoid any suspicion he had one man
telegraph to New York regarding the
checks, and the reply, which probably
came from o confederate was that the
checks were all right. Smith hung up
Bennington ieweler for a gold watch, par.
italy paying for it with check for SO
His landlord also suffered as did other
citizens from whom he secured money. 1t
is said that one man cashed a check for
5000, but he cannot be identified 1t is
now claimed that Smith was recently dis
charged from a peuitentiary in Washing
ton, d. c., where he had been serving
sentence of four years for swindling. New
victims are turning up every day, and
efforts will be made to have Smith arrested
and taken back to Bennington.

Fred d. Kellogg of Orange has begun a
suit against the Fitchburg railroad for
$4,000. In September, 1896, Mr. Kellogg
went to the Valley Fair at Brattleboro by
the way of the Fitchburg railroad and the
New London Northern. On the return
trip the cars were crowded and at Miller's
Falls it was announced that only certain
cars would go to Fitchburg and the way
stations. Mr., Kellogg was not in one of
the right cars and as the cars were crowd
ed and there was difficulty in getting to
the right cars, he stepped to the ground to
walk to the right cars. Without his knowl-
edge the cars had been backed on to the
high bridge over the Mller's river, and he
fell off the bridge striking heavily on the
ground, and was permanently injured.

occurred on Thursday, Oct. rs, and her
funeral was held at the Baptist church on
Sunday afternoon, it being just nine weeks
since the last honors were paid to Miss
Lottie Z. Wheeler, her sister, and she was
laid in the village churchyard. Why the
Supreme Ruler of the universe should
thus cause two vacancies in the same home
in so short time, or why he should so
soon disturb the wounds that had hardly
begun to heal, we may say it is impossible
for us to understand.

W. NJ. Winchester and was born in the

She received her education at the public
schools and began teaching when only Is
years of age and taught nine terms. She
was member of the Baptist church and
always took great interest in church af-
fairs. For weeks and months it has been
only too apparent that the end was gradu-
ally approaching, but during all these days
of suffering she has maintained wonderful
fortitude and borne her anguish without
murmuring. The church was filel TO its

appropriate discourse, taking as his text

the local road are almost unanimous in the
opinion that the entrance of another road
in town would prove disastrous to their in
terests. Pleasure travel would be divided,
and the business between the centre and
the Boston & Maine railway station, which
is a considerable item, would be seriously
affected. 1t is hardly necessary for us TO
add that our sympathy in this matter is
heartily with the directors and stockhold-
ers of the local road. We do not think an
