A GREAT HUNT. - On Friday, the

had their annual town hunt which
proved to be one of the greatest and
most successful occasions of it's kind
ever known in this vicinity. j. d.
Cross and W. S. Horton were chosen as
captains, each having twenty men. 1t
was decided that the losing side should |
bear the expense of a supper. AT the |
time nearly every man was
found at his post and the marked inter
est and enthusiasm manifested by every |
hunter to excel his opponents was
surely worthy of note. Each one seem
ed to realize the necessity of doing his |
best, although at times fate seemed al |
most against them. Early in the morn
ing the noise began and continued I'M
til late in the day and in the evening
the glimmer of the hunters lanterns
showed that their work of destruction
was not yet done. However, Captain
Horton and his men were the victors
Of this fight their score being 1900
points, while Captain Cross came close
after them with a score of 1850. The
scores were rather low, due to the
scarcity OF game. The highest score
or Captain Horton was 800 points made
by j. G. Stickney. Captain Cross high.
est score being $50 made by w. r. Har-

If arrangements had all things in read
ness in due season and a very excel
ent time was enjoyed by all. Beal's
orchestra furnished as usual excellent :
music for the occasion. Captain Hor-
on and wife prepared the supper and
was indeed worthy of credit. The !
earness of the score of the two sides, .
which was extraordinary, aroused
ute an excitement and we think that
he next annual hunt will excite more
interest than ever before.

Significance of its Alarming Increase During
This Fall.

This Fall.
There has been so much discussion re-
Gently about the alarming increase of
rheumatism in this section, that OPIN-
ION man was instructed to investigate.
A member of the board of health said:
do not quote me as saying that rheuma-
tism is necessarily mortal disease. 1t
isn't. But there are often times when it
leads to heart complication or disturbance
of the brain, and results in death.
And, whether dangerous or not, the
suffering is always intense. Anxiety and
care, mental shock, and injuries lead to
rheumatism, but the prevalence of this
disease at this time in Bradford and vicin-
ity is undoubtedly owing to the damp,
cold weather of the fall mOnths''
The usual treatment of rheumatism is
uncertain, inefficient and disappointing,
as is acknowledged by many physicians.

amore ST., Buffalo, and who is prominent
