Judge Read made an able argument. He
saved several exceptions and the case will

the most important in size of verdict OF
any tried this term. 1t is considered much
more important in principle involved for if
sustained this verdict opens wide the door
of liability OF every employer of labor.
On Saturday afternoon Prucius Manley

grand jury of the present term for shooting
with intent to kill, appeared before the

Eddy's hop beer and other so-called soft
drinks contained intoxicating qualities.

Flag and Doll Drill.

A Flag and Doll drill for the benefit OF
the Girls Home in Westminster is to be
given in Union hall at Bellows Falls,
Wednesday evening, October Is. A can
vass OF the village Tor the sale OF tickets
has already commenced, and should be SO
well received by all charitable people as to
ensure the financial success of the enter
tainment.
This drill has been given previously in
Westminster, with so much success that it
was repeated and drew large audiences
both evenings. Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Os-
good and Mrs. Wilder, who witnessed it
at that time, pronounced it an exhibition
of unusual merit.
This home for girls, which is located in
Westminster village, has at present ten
inmates, two of the girls coming from Bel
lows Falls. 1t has been in existence
little over year, the date of its organiza-
ton being June, 1896, and its laudable
object is to provide comfortable home
for homeless children Of every race and
creed
The struggle to meet the running
expenses of this shelter has sometimes
been severe one, but so far, by good
management combined with hard work,
the home has been kept clear of debt.
During the summer 20 boarders were
taken, the little girls proving very efficient
maids, and the income from this source has
been of considerable assistance. Now the
winter season with its additional expenses
is close at hand, and this entertainment, it
is hoped, will assist in solving the difficult
problem of food and fuel and clothing.
That it will receive generous patronage
should be an assured fact. The program
follows:
Opening address, Grace Bingham
Selection, Fishers Orchestra
Recitation, Berta Govan
Song, Mrs. Beddy
First Act in Doll Drill.

Baby's Coming,

Nature intended that every woman
should look forward to the coming of
her baby with joy and hope, uncloud-
ed by anxiety. Almost painless par
turition is quite the usual thing among
uncivillzed people. Even in our own
country it occasionally happens with
women in robust health and good con-
dition. 1t ought to be the rule instead
of the exception; and it is a fact that
a very large proportion of the usual
pain and suffering may be avoided by
looking after the mothers general
health, and specially Strengthening
the particular organs concerned in
parturition.
Many mothers have been brought
through the trying time almost pain
lessly by the aid of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t prepares the
system for delivery by imparting the
organic strength and elasticity which
the mother specially needs; shortens
the time of labor and of confinement; +;
promotes the secretion of abundant
nourishment for the child and forti-
fies the entire constitution against the
after period of depression and weak
ness. Its use should begin in the
early months of gestation-the earlier
the better,

E. B. Talbot, OF this city, will estab-
Iish custom shirt factory some time
between this date and the first of jan
uary for the purpose of manufactur-
ing shirts for private orders.
Tailor MADE shirts, like tailor made
clothing, are growing IN favor, and
this enterprise, if literally patronized
by those who are able to enjoy the
ease and luxury afforded by a tailor
made shirt, will furnish constant en-
ployment and iivlihood to score OF
families in our city. This fact alone
should commend the enterprise to the
people of Mexico.
Nothing but the best of linens will
be used in the factory and each shirt
will be 'shand-made." Mr.. Talbot will
continue the loan and insurance bus
mess, but will have an experienced and
capable man IN charge.

FOR MALPRACTICE.
4. W. Brooks, Painter of This City,
Sues DR.. II. G. McFall For
Twenty-Five Hundred

that the defendant in violation of such
established rules of practice 90 negli-
gently, improperly, unskillfulIy and
ignorantly conducted himself In and
about treating and doctoring the felon
that Inflammation, decay, gangrene
and modification ensued. 1t then
became necessary to have the afflicted

clan at great expense. He claims
to be disabled from work and that he
