A LOST VETERAN,


 He Turns Up in the State of Washing
 ton. Prosperous and Contented-He
 Belonged to the First Connecticut
 Heavies.
 Many old New Haven comrades of the
 First Connecticut Heavies will be in terested in the following from yester-
 days Hartford Times regarding a for
 mer member of the regiment, who, it
 was supposed, had been dead for years "An old member of the First Heavy Artillery who has not been heard of for
 many years and whom most of his com rades supposed to be dead, has just been heard from by D. D. Riley. MT. Riley was in some way reminded of | him few days ago, and he and one or | two other veterans of the First Heavy | spoke of the probability that he was | dead, and speculated little about the l place in which his bones rested. The same day Mr. Riley received a letter | from Hoods Post, Washington, directed | in hand he did not recognize, and it | turned out to be from the very man, l Rufus Le Bar The name is printed | in the Record of Connecticut Volun- 1 teers as Lebais, but the spelling first | given is that used by the man himself. "He writes that he keeps hotel for | sportsmen in the Olympic Rrange, ten miles from neighbor, and that in win
 ter he sees no white man for weeks. In l the summer he has plenty of guests, and if half he tells is true the place is l sportsmans paradise. As to this, he says:
 "I have the finest trout fishing In | the country, and plenty of elk, deer, | bears and mountain lions and cougar.
 Last winter two boys from Oregon
 came up to trap, They caught four | mountain lions, the largest g feet 6 inches and another g feet inches. have killed two bears at one shot. I l couldn't tell the number of elk and bears I have killed. They come close l to the house. There is the finest sal
 mon fishing here in the world. You can 1 go out on the Carroll and in half day with a troll you can get 200 pounds. They go from five to twenty pounds.
 have caught trout here with the fly two | feet long,
 MT. Le Bar is quite as enthusiastic about the climate as about fish and
 game. He writes:
 "'The climate is fine. I have not
 seen the ground covered with snow week at time this winter. The ther- I mometer has stood from 30 to 60 de grees above all winter. The ground never freezes When I read about the weather there Gin New England) it makes my teeth chatter
 He is about twenty miles from the line of perpetual snow, and goes up
 every year to get his dried meat for
 winter, meaning chiefly elk He says | his only regret is that he did not find l the place thirty years sooner, and evil | dently regards most of the time before l that suspicious discovery as practi-
 cally wasted out of his life. The soil is l fertile and it is hard to see how any one with a love for outdoor life and
 sport could ask muct better conditions than MT. Le Bar enjoys. He sends his
 regards to. number of friends and comrades, but gives no hint of leaving
 a place where he is so well suited to look them up here.'

THREE GOOD MEALS.
Daily Evidence That Puri-
 tana Cured Him.

Ca A MANS case is really des-
 XE perate when his neigh MTSM bors are daily expecting him EMN to die, when his physicians HXWIEW have given him up, and when H hW his system revolts at the MI simplest sort of nourish- u ment Yet this was the con- SwHrvt@ dition of MT. Charles E.
 Phelps, who is a life long resident of Sterling, Mass, having been born there 53 years ago.
 For the past 1T years MT. Phelps has been tax collector and constable, and is also sexton and the proprietor of a livery stable. He is a prominent Odd Fellow and his acquaintance extends widely into Clinton, Lancaster, Leom- inster, Boylston and Worcester.
 Mr. Phelps was dragged down to the door of death by serious stomach trouble. He was fighting for his life without much hope for his poor pain racked body. He was fighting alone against starvation i'll the midst of plenty, against constant loss of weight and increasing weakness, against dreadful nausea, against pressure on his chest, against belching of wind sourness of the stomach and terrible pain.
 He had all but lost the fight, when Puritana saved him. MT Phelps Is en- thusiastic. His friends and neighbors marvel at his wonderful recovery, and another link is added to the long chain of evidence in favor of Puritana. His remarkable letter Is as follows:
 The Puritana Compound Co.,,
 Dear Sir-For ten years I have had very bad stomach trouble. One year ago had hemorrhage of the stom- ach which left me in a still worse con- dition. My system got entirely run down SC that could eat scarcely any, thing. A small piece of bread would cause severe pains across my chest and in my bowels, and would have to go to bed and cali doctor.
 My condition kept on going from bad to worse, and last summer was given up to die. My weight ran down from 14o pounds to 123. After eating. fre- quently would vomit everything up. had employed doctors, but still re- tained no permanent results. Last summer my attention was called to Puritana, and as drowning man" grasps at straw, so commenced the use of Puritana.
 The results in my case are marvel ous Instead of being in my grave, as many predicted would be before this time, am attending to my active busi- ness pursuits, and sit down to three good meals Of victuals a day, enjoy eating them, and afterwards experi- ence no pains, attacks of indigestion, vomiting, belching of wind, sourness of the stomach, or anything of the kind Puritana I consider the most wonderful of medicines and am recom- rending 1t to many of my friends.

There was to have been a hearing yesterday morning in the probate court upon a remonstrance against the ac- ceptance of the report of ex-Judge Rob- ertson as an arbitrator on the estate of the late Gardner Morse, but as nothing but notice of the remonstrance had been filed, the hearing was postponed until next Wednesday.
 Judge Roberson was an arbitrator to settle the differences in the claims of Joseph B. Morse and his brothers MT.
