Take Swift's Specific. 1t is the
only known cure for this deadly dis.
ease. 1t will free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has a deep foothold, it will cure, but
it takes longer. It is a medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots of life in the blood, and forces
out every vestige OF impurity. II
goes to the seat OF the most obstin.
ate cases, which are beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time with surgical
operations or ~torturing plasters, as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. Swift's Specific is the
only Real Cancer Cure on the face
of the earth.

On the Corner.

There are few wheel riders "On
The Corner and they are trying TO have
Il run TO the capitol city within few
DAYS. 1t is to be hoped that many OF
those outside the club who love the silent
steed will join in making this grand
success. as son The Corner" will try II
possible to have some racing contests
before the summer is gone.
The city might have made few dol
lars Sunday if every loafcr from the
Corner who went to gaze at the unforlu'
mates at "thc cage had been made to
pay five cents for look. There was
small army of such curiosity seekers.
Three cheers for Capt Clark of the
battle-ship Oregon were given several
times .On The Corner last night by
many of the native Nermonters who
have Joined the club. Clark used to
like Barre when he courted Barre par

but that was not the reason they cheer
ed Clark, but it was due to his success

can coast. All honor and success to the
brave Vermont Captain, may he reach

Of those on ''On The Corner"
The meeting also considered the idea
of appointing committee to visit the
city council and ask that a sum be eX-
pended for decorating the city build
inc when the military company leaves
Barre. No committee was appointed
but the matter will be given furlherc con-
sideration tomorrow night. The MEM
beers have good scheme here and the
Inspector has no doubt they will be
cordially received by the city council
and the request granted.
Sometime during the present week
members of the club hope to be able TO
inspect the plans for the new city hall
and opera house building as they have
many newly invented opinions concern
ing the building they hope to give the
city council and are dcserious Of gain
ING some,information concerning the new
plans before they give their unasked for
opinions, The Inspector would suggest
TO those son The Corner they keep out
of other peoples affairs and let the city
council settle the city hall question with
out any interference. This advice is not
charged on account but given without
any recompense.
"On The Corner" also wonder what
is going to be done with the Gouldsberry
lot owned by the city. Some OF them
.urrast that il Ina made into n mark AS
it is claimed that no houses can ever be
erected on it by any owner. What say

began to con~regatc near the City park
and it was not long before they had II
roaring bonfire started The boys took
II. ID. Segel's business wagon from his
yard, unknown to him and within few
minutes, they appeared on the scene
with a load of old boxes, barrels and
wood which they cmptel on the fire,
and kept it up until midnight.
Soon after the fire was started, cam
mons began to boom and secured
II G a &c 20 II e nivorsalist and Metht-
dist churches and the Spaulding High
school where they rang all three bells
continuously until midnis ht. Roman
candles were seen shooting promiscu-
ously into the air. \ large number Of
Company L boys got their rifles, and
marched to and fro on North Main street
di,charging their rifles. Every few
minutes the crowd would give three
cheers for Dewey which made the air
RIM.
On depot square there was another
large bonfire which lasted until after
midnight, Just before some of the par
Elephants left, they became so euthuslas-
tie. they threw their hats into the fire,
where they were consumed.
