No woman who marries an old

WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose Stomachs are Weak
and Digestion Poor.

DIR Harlandson, whose opinion In dis
eases Is worthy of attention, says when
man or woman comes to me complaining
OF indigestion, loss of appetite. sour stom-
ach, belching, sour watery risings, head
aches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition and
a general run down nervous condition,
advise them to take after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablet to dissolve In the mouth
and thus mingle with the food eaten. The
result is that the food is speedily digested
before II has time to sour and ferment.
These tablets will digest food anyway.
whether the stomach wants to or not.
because they contain harmless digestive
principles, vegetable essences pepsin and
Golden Seal which supply just what the
weak stomach lacks.
l have advised the tablets with great
success. both In curing indigestion and to
build up the tissues, increase flesh in thin
nervous patients, whose real trouble was
dy spepsia, and as soon as the stomach
was put to rights they did not know whal
sickness was.
A Atty cent package Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets can be bought at any drug
store, and as they are not secret patent
medicine. they can be used as often as
desired with full assurance that they con-
tain nothing harmful In the slightest de-
gree; on the contrary. any one whose
stomach Is at all deranged will find great
benefit from the use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form of stom-
ach weakness or disease except cancer OF
the stomach. Full size package at drug.

KILLED ON THE RAIL.
Unknown Man Found Near the Track
south of Shelburne station,

The train gang of Il freight going tow
ard Rutland early Saturday morning came
upon the dead and badly mangled remains
of a man lying almost upon the track
near the Mech crossing about mile and
Il half below Shelburne station. The re-
mains were brought back to Shclburnc,
but 1t was impossible to positively identi-
is them and in the afternoon Health Of
iicer f.. r. Stoddard and the scloctmon
of the town ordered the remains inferred,
which was done.
1t Is thought by the railroad men that
the man was riding upon an early freight
train toward this city and that he fell
between the cars to his death. The right
arm was severed from the body and the
remains were cut and otherwise disngurod
by the ears.
An examination of the dead mans pock-
cts in the nope of identification was only
partially successful. Very little was
found. In the rought blue coat were two
bills. botn dated at Berlin, " H. One
was made out to l.. ID. Brown from a
bottling house for sl.25. dated July IL, and
the other was the amount of livery bill
to date June lst. drawn by o. W. Fernald
of Berlin. The pockets also contained an
old cigar case. The man was dressed
poorly In a blue coat and ovcralls. He
was five feet six inches in height with
blue eyes and reddish brown hair. His
build was muscular.
An attempt was made to identify the
deceased by communication with the au-
thorlties at Berlin, n. H., but up to last
night this was unsuccessful and the man.
whoever he may have been, seems des-
tined to iii an unknown grave in the Shell
burne cemetery.

Captain Bonnar OF the tug Beaver who
was an eye witness of the accident says
shat the span of the bridge from the pier
to the land went down first dragging the
ricr and the middle span with it. The
reason will PROBABLY not be known Till the
whole bed of the river has been examined
by divers and even then it is possible that
no satisfactory explanation Of the acci-
dent will be forthcoming. An inVestrn-
ton. if one be held, would be by American
authorities.

orican territory, Mr.. George +. Thomas,
Secretary Smiths manager. returned to

Thomas is = well known contractor and

of the railway, is out of town and cannot

Construction company, would not commit
himself to any expression of opinion on
the cause Of the accident. He contented
himself with saying that the disaster was
truly appalling. The officials of the phoe-
nix Bridge company are very silent on
the subject OF the accident and have moth

in money cannot be given tonight but
will be an enormous sum. The accident
will throw back the completion of the rail-
way at least six months and possibly a
year.

THE BANNER COUNTY.
Franklin County Gives the Largest Ma
jority In its History.

St. Adams, VT, Sept. 6.-The city of st.
Adams and Franklin county handsomely
endorsed the candidacy OF the republican
candidate for governor at the election to-
day by rousing majorities. This was the
first State election held since st. Adams
became city and the result shows the
c. Smith, who carried three democratic
wards and swept the city by plurality of
oil, which is the largest ever received by
Il republican candidate for governor in the
town of st. Adams. At the last mayoralty
cleo ton the city went republican by 8
majority. \. S. Richardson, republican
candidate for city represented, was elect
cd by \ majority of l2l over f. W. McGet-
trick, democrat, after hot fight.
Franklin county has given the largest
republican majority for governor in its
history. High license cut quite n figure
in the election and six democrats are
elected to nine republicans in the county.
Myron w. Bailey, the present incumbent,
is defeated fir Judge of probate by O. w.
Kelton, the regular republican nominee.
Judge Bailey was defeated in the repub-
iican convention and was subsequently
nominated by the democrats. The new
town of st. Adams elects w. s. Clark, re-
publican, as its first representative by a
handsome plurality, and the town also
gives Edward c. Smith a good majority.
The governor-elect received election re-
turns at his office tonight and was much
gratified at the favorable figures report
cd indicating Il plurality exceeding his eX-
pectations.

umphal Entry Into City
Of Amsterdam.
100000 SPECTATORS
The City Lavishly Decorated-The New
Monarch Received with tho widest
Enthusiasm-Tho Royal Coach of
White and Gold Drawn by
Eight Black Horses.

Amsterdam, Sept. g. Beginning at
early dawn to-day vast crowds of people
gathered in the streets which were laN-
lshly decorated in anticipation of the eu-
Try of Queen Wilhclmina. The Queen ar
rived at ? o'clock and was enthusiastical-
ly received. After the burgomaster had
delivered the speech of welcome the Queen
drove to Dampldtz.
Uniformed guards lined the entire route
and kept back the throng. The crowds
in the streets, at the windows and on the
roofs formed scene OF the widest enthu-
siasm, everybody shouting and singing 10
the utmost Of their ability. The space
in front of the palace was occupied by n
force of habcrdiers and muskctcers at
tired i'm the seventeenth century costumes
of the restoration. These men carried
heavy, clumsy weapons of the period they
were supposed to represent and they
nanoeuvred in accordance with ancient
drill During their evolutions the crowds
sang numbcrlcsS national airs.
AS the royal train reached the railway
station the firing of salute of 10l guns
WAS commenced and the bells OF all the
churches We're pealed. Six hours before
Queen Wilhelmina arrived 100000 people
had assembled in the streets and around
the palace. Her majesty appeared at $3.50
o'clock. The royal coach was of white.
Uinamcntcd with gold and was drawn by
eight black horses. Queen Wilhclmina,
who looked pale and tired. bowed and
waved her handkerchief continually.
In front of the palace the army and
navy were drawn up in the form OF "A
great square. The coach passed along
four sides of this square before drawing,
up at the entrance of the palace. a few
minutes later Queen Wilhclmina appeared
upon the balcony and bowed repeatedly
to the 5000 people, who approached the
palace, waving handkcrChiefs, hats and
flags
