By the way, Homecoming has never
explained why John Goldsworthy did
not get that medal that he was invited
to come after, that he went for and
practically won. Is it in wheeling
down there, as IN baseball-"heads
win, tails you lose ?"
A long criticism of the JOURNALS
course in the light matter will appear
in the Ne,os to-day. Makes no differ
ence. When the JOURNAL is in the
right-and it generally is-it welcomes
even abuse.
Titus A. Brick looked in on the free
coinage convention in Cumberland
last Saturday while the committee on
credentials and platform silence was
out-a period usually filled by gusts
of oratory. The stiffness confirmed
Tite's faith in the observation of the
French philosopher who lately an
nounced that ''the atmosphere of the
earth is slowly but surely disap-
pearing."
If the Frostburg Neeos knew as
much about journalism as it doesn't
seem to know about law, it would
be able to understand why news
papers do not in themselves nor
their editors oficially represent the
people. The best they can do is to
formulate public sentiment; next best
to reflect it. AT least, that is the case
with the JOURNAL. "Why not the
JOURNAL enjoin ?" is therefore piece
of Stiffness worthy of one of Barnum's
wild children, ''captured," it was ia
cetiously said by one of his tent-door
orators, "not in Borneo, but in West
Virginia"
1t may be as bad to misapprehend
duty as to leave the effective part of it
undone, but the result is about the
same.
No matter how long that letter, there
wont be much of it left after the great
paper has Overhauled 1T.
The people should not censure the
Mayor wholly for the measure which
ties up the town for 5years, shuts it
within Il fertilization impregnable TO
all other Illuminating enterprises and
improvements and at the end makes
the Electric Light company able 20
dictate the terms ant tenure of all
future contracts with itself. Without
the four councilmen, or half of them,
who supported the Mayor, the latter
would have been hel pless.
Whenever this paper does not ap-
pear on Friday afternoon it is because
it favors some negligent advertiser or
correspondent.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause OF bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was created
for one purpose, and il not doctored too
much is not liable to weakness or disease
except in rare cases. 1t is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder, therefore any
pain. disease or inconvenience manifested
in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passages is often, by mistake attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of some
sort. The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided. To find out correct
ly, set your urine aside for twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of DR.. kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney and blad-
der remedy, is soon realized. II you need
a medicine you should have the best. AT
druggists for fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and pam

Exciting Times.

The sad death of Clarence Dix by
drowning Monday, july 26, has
caused considerable excitement on the
subject of liquor and cider selling at
jacksonville and some who would
have been arrested have left for parts
unknown. Other arrests are antici-
pated. Had these been made sooner,
two lives which have been sacrificed
in the last few weeks might have
been saved.
Albert Potter, who was arrested
last week for furnishing cider to. Dix
and his companions, left the state the
next morning, but was followed by
Chas. 5. Goodnow and Geo. w. Kent
field and found in North Adams.
They secured him with the aid of
Sheriff Frink and returning on Fri
day evening carried their prisoner at
once to Newfane jail, where he awaits
his trial at the next session of the
county court. Frank Mason has
been sued for $4,000, as Mr.. Potter
was carrying on his farm and the
cider was bought and drank there.
His cows have all been driven off and
nearly everything movable has been
moved away. Mr.. Mason is at Mon
roe very sick and is hardly expected
to recovery Wilmington Times.

A Monument TO Gen. starIS.

The leading citizens of southern
Vermont have been agitating the SUBJ
iect of erecting a monument ut Peru,
where Gen. Stark encamped the night
before the battle at Bennington. A
meeting was held last Friday, it be-
ing the l25th anniversary of the day
on which Gen. Stark reached Peru.
DIR. II. b. Bigelow of New York
city, grandson of Reuben Bigelow,
who settled in Peru in 1897 and be-
came very popular in that section, is
a leader of the movement. He out
lined plans for the building of a mon
ument and Hon. p. III. Hutchinson OF
Boston, native of Vermont, deliver
ed an address. Speeches were also
made by Hon. J. l.. Martin of Brat
tleboro, Hon. j. X. Batchelder of Ar
lington and others. The meeting was
n success and enough money was
pledged, with sums which will prob
ably be secured, to assure the erection
of a suitable monument to mark the
spot where Gen. Stark proceeded to
victory over Burgoyne' S troops at Ben
nington Aug. l6, 1897.

Robbery al Hlghgate.

Two burglaries were committed at
Highgate last Thursday night, safes
were blown open and riiled and the
robbers escaped before anyone knew
Of the ROBBERY.
When Frank Baxter, who keeps a
store and the postoiiice on the south
side of the river, arrived at his place
of business the next morning he found
the door open, and entering, found
the door of his safe blown off. The
contents, about SO in money and
stamps, were gone. No goods have
yet been missed from the store. The
burglars gained an entrance by pry-
ing open a window in the rear of the
building.
On the north side of the river the
general merchandise store of Burdick
Il Holmes was entered in a similar
manner, the safe blown nearly to
pieces and about $50 in cash taken, be-
sides a lot of cigars and tobacco. Here
was also found the remains of a lunch
that the burglars had enjoyed after
their haul.
From general appearances, the work
is that Of amateurs and probably
tramps. Three suspicious looking
men were around the villages that
day, visiting the postoflice and all the
stores several times. Three men who
were strangers TO the station agent at
East Swanton bought tickets of him
for Montreal early Thursday morn
ing and boarded the train, and these
are undoubtedly the robbers. The
matter has been taken up by Sheriff
Kelley, who is devoting his energies
10 the capture of the thieves.
The burglars were captured in
Montreal Saturday, through some
sharp detective work of Postmaster
T.. \. Ayers of Swanton. A lot Of
watches, jewelry, U. S. postage
stamps, ETC., were found. Extradi-
ton proceedings have been com
menced to get the prisoners back to
Ilighgate.
