The amendments to the public health
laws of our state, made by the recent legis-
eral public and no means should be spared
to inform the people regarding their obli-
cations and liabilities under these revised
laws. Fines for omission and commission
range from s. to $500, or Imprisonment,
or both. AS, for instance, carrying on
the business of butchering in building
without the consent in writing of the local
board of health, subjects the offender to a
fine of not more than $500. Births, mar
riages and deaths, as well as contagious
diseases, must be promptly reported to the
town clerk, or the local board of health.
If every person will call on the town clerk,
or the local health officer, where informa-
ton may be had, all may soon become ia
miliar with all the requirements and thus
save much unnecessary annoyance, for ig-
norance of the law excuses no one. Let
us all work together for the betterment of
health and every condition of life by learn
ing what is required of each individual
member of society, which can only be
done by general dissemination of knowl-
edge regarding the laws of health, and the
health laws of our state. DR.. j. Oscar
Carmen is the local health officer.

Hon. Frank Plumey made an eloquent
plea for the respondent in the Wales arson
case at Montpelier Wednesday, and Attor-
ney Rowland closed for the state. Chief
Justice Ross called the attention of the
jury to the fact that the respondent was in
dicted under II counts, but the court
thought they need consider only the two

reviewed the most important evidence in
the case, and cited the law applicable.
The case was given to the jury about 4
o'clock and a verdict of not guilty was
brought in at 8 Thursday morning.

Giddngs Of Manchester. A telegram was
sent to High Sheriff Wilson at Arlington,
but he was at the Bennington county
court. The papers were sent to Deputy
Sheriff Melendy Wednesday night and
Thursday morning Mr.. Melendy, with Al
bert Benson, found Bradshaw and arrested
him.
At a hearing before Justice Williams
Bradshaw pleaded not guilty and was held
for the arrival Of States Attorney Bates OF
Bennington. lie was searched and large
dirk knife was taken away from him. lie
was then entrusted for safe keeping to the
hands of Will Howard, who has a wide
reputation as bear hunter, Albert Ben
son and Sprague Burbank, three powerful
men, who carried arms in readiness to
shoot the prisoner at the first attempt to
escape. Bradshaw's keepers felt certain
that he would make break for liberty
Saturday night, but were disappointed.
J. G. Martin of Manchester, attorney
for Bradshaw, and States Attorney Bates
arrived Monday afternoon and hearing
was held in the town hall at Bondville.
At the hearing the warrant was amended
to charge simply breaking and entering
and the testimony was such that Justice
Williams decided to hold the prisoner fol
his appearance at the county court and
fixed his bail at the maximum sum OF
$1,000. The courtroom was crowded and
the prisoner, who had heretofore appeared
to be unconcerned over his arrest, mani
tested some anxiety. Another writ charg-
ing him with committing rape upon his
step-daughter, Addie Capen, was made
out, to be served in case he should procure
bail on the charge of breaking and enter

tempted TO enter DR.. Flandreau's house
the community became greatly aroused
That Bradshaw has been arrested is due
largely to the determined stand of DR..
Flandreau.
Bradshaw's mother, an aged negress of
nearly 10, was one of the persons present
during the hearing. She is said to live in
filthy hovel on the mountains, and earns
pittance by selling baskets which she
makes. She is said to be surrounded in
her living quarters by domestic animals.
Bradshaw Taken TO Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Melendy came from Lon
donderry Tuesday with a two-seated wagon
and took Bradshaw to Manchester. How.
ard and Benson accompanied Mr.. Melendy
as guards, Bradshaw sitting on the back
seat with Benson and being handcuffed to
him. From Manchester the prisoner was
taken by rail to the Jail in Bennington.
His case will come before the Benninp-
ton county court at the June term. By
that time it is believed that several other
indictments will be hanging over him
ready to be pushed if necessary.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Death OF Miss Lu RanvilIe.

One of the noblest and sweetest lives
which it has been our privilege to know
has been taken away by the death of Miss
Lu Ranvile. Almost her entire life has
been spent in this village. She was grad
uate of the High school in the class of %.
Although already suffering from the dis
ease which caused her death, she immedi-
ately secured position in the dry goods
store of George r. Wales, where she worked
until about year ago, when she was COM
PEELED by failing health to resign her posi-
ton and go to her parents at Lawrence s
Mills, where she remained until her death,
Tuesday morning-but a month after she
had passed her 2lst birthday. The end
was in all probability delayed weeks by the
remarkable strength of will which she dis
played in her brave struggle for life.
The funeral services are held at the Bap-
fist church this afternoon, the Rev. {. X.
Il. Dodge officiating. Her rich contralto
voice will be missed from the services of
that church, of which she was one of the
most active and self-denying members.
Her winsome ways and sweet, womanlY
character won for her more warm and last
ing friends than fall to the lot of many
girls. Possessed of high ambitions and
lofty ideals, she was alike help and an in
spiratior to all who knew her, especially to
her friends among the young people. In
the hearts of those who knew and loved
her best she will still live as a friend in the
truest sense of the word, whose life was a
benediction, whose memory is beatitude.

WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

of the nutritive properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with Syrup
Of Hypophosphites, Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry Bark, has saved
many such girls. 1t contains all
the tiesh.forming and strengthening
qualities of the oil without its loath-
some taste. The most senSitire and
feeble can take 1t, as they tdke syrup,
and digest it perfectly. Taken before
meals it creates an appetite, stops the
emaciating process, puts flesh on the
thin and boly body, and ruddy cheeks
soon tell the story of pure blood, good
digestion and rec vered health. Girls
and women gain weight and vigor by
the use of it. To give it trial is to
believe in it always thereafter. 1t is
food and medicine combined. Genu-
inc only gives results from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists.
