An attempted robbery took place at
North Walpole Sunday night, about 11.SO
when William Tole was awakened by
Polander who lives downstairs in Henry
Davis house, adjoining the drug store.
Mr.. Tole went out on the back piazza
and looking down saw large man cutting
the glass out of the side door of the store.
He was calmly throwing it aside and about
to cut the iron grating when Mr.. Tole
hailed him and advised him to leave.
The burglar did not agree but instead
presented revolver and threatened to
shoot the one who had dared to interrupt
him. Mr.. Tole was unarmed and could
do TO more; the burglar then joined two
others, who were waiting for him, and
together they climbed up into an old ex.
press wagon and began to smoke. They
stayed there until about $50 when they
walked down and looked at Barrett's store
then Ryan's bakery after which they disap.
peared and have not been seen since.
Mr.. Davis found Monday morning tina
they had also attempted to get in at the
bulk head but had been prevented by tn,
inside door which was very securely
fastened.

tinues
We are not informed as to what Mr.. HIT
says about the matter, but the chances are
that he differs from other candidates only
in refusing to lie. 1t is hard for any mar
who has had Mr.. Hits opportunities to
see the operation of the law to really
believe in it-and it is notorious that men
all over the state who fully understand the
situation pretend to believe IN it when they
do not. 1t is doubtless true that many
Vermont lawyers Uphold the law sincerely
because it has brought them the most OF
the money they have gathered in from

to that class. However, Mr.. Hit will be

The Herald may be in error as to the
cause of the disaffection regarding Mr..

will be elected to the senate in due time.

Death Of Frank B. ScOfield.

The Saxtons River correspondent writes
as follows regarding the death Of one of
the prominent citizens of Rockingham:
We regret to announce the death of one
of our prominent citizens, Frank B. Sco-
field, son of the late Benjamin Scoheld,
who was born in Saddleworth, Eng, and
came to this country at the age of IA years.
In 1851 he married Alice B. Thompson of
Grafton. Their married life was blessed
by the birth of two children, Jennie and
Frank B. Scofeld. Jennie died at the age
of 10 years. Mrs. Scofeld, after being
an invalid for several years, died in the
spring of 1869. Benjamin Scofeld was
shrewd business man and previous to his
death in December, 1891, had amassed
considerable wealth.
Frank B. Scofeld was born June II,
1856; he received his education at Kim
ball Union academy and Bryant and STRAIT
ton business college. In the fall of 1877
he entered into partnership in the wool
business with M. P. Barry and remained
up to the present time. In October, 1888,
he married Nellie Perry, daughter Of
Scion Perry of Leominster, Mass. Their
union has been blessed by one daughter,
Alice, who is seven years of age. Mr..
Scofeld has been in delicate health for sew
eral years and has always spent the win
tiers in the south and the summers at the
White Mountains. During the past year
there was marked change in his health,
but up to the time of his death he had
been able to be out. He went for drive
last Saturday evening and desired to &c
Sunday evening but his wife persuaded hin
not to go. During his illness Mrs. SEQ
field has devoted the whole Of her time tc
caring for him. He has been very patien,
in his sufferings and very quietly passed
away about II O'Clock Sunday evening
July "a, at his home, which is one of the
handsomest residences in the village. His
death was caused by phthisis. He lef
a widow, one daughter, and bis father-in
law, Scion Perry, who has been member
of his household for some time past.
| Great sympathy is felt for the family il
their bereavement. The funeral will taxi
place at his home tomorrow afternoon a
3 o'clock, the Rev. j. H. Robbins of Con
cord, N. H., officiating.

George A. Brown for Congressman.

One of the candidates for congressional
honors in the seventh Massachusetts, dis
trict is George A. Brown of Everett
Mass, a former resident of Bellows Falls
whose chances for nomination are discussed
in the Boston journal Of Saturdays issue
ga Journal reporter called upon
prominent republican of the city Of Everett
and made inquiries of him concerning tn,
Everett candidate, George A. Brown. H,
received him cordially and made the fol
lowing statement:
1t is early to forecast the result of tn,
congressional convention in this distric
but / believe Mr.. Browns chances for tn,
nomination are very encouraging.
The republicans of Everett believe Mr.
Brown to be eminently qualified to repre-
sent this district in manner that will re-
fleet honor upon himself and his constitu
ents.
while do not consider the geographi
cal argument by any means the stronges
upon such an important question, ye
Everett is entitled to whatever forct
attaches to such an argument, for she hal
never had member of congress.
MIR. Brown is not in any sense an office
seeker and is not forcing himself upon thu
attention of the republicans OF this district
He had no intention of becoming a candi
date until his name had been repeated,
mentioned in very favorable terms, in diff
ferent towns and cities and prominent re
publicans had urged him to enter the field
The only elective Office for which he ha
been candidate was for representative tt
the general court, to which he was elected
from Everett for 1896 and 1897.
In the legislature he became a leading
member-hls ability in debate, his sountt
judgment and integrity giving him mos
influential position.
1t is well known that as an orator an,
debater he had no superior in the house
He served upon the Judiciary and stree
railway committees and was chairman o
the latter. The same qualifications wheel
gave him prominence in the house would
insure an honorable career in congress.
MIR. Browns services have been in fire.
gent demand as a campaign speaker ant
should he receive the nomination for con
gress, no one need have any fear of BIZ
ability to compete with his opponent upo1
the stump.
Mr.. Brown is graduate Of Dartmouth
college and is successful lawyer, enjoying
large and lucrative practice.
What do you think OF Mr.. Brown
chances of receiving the nomination.
They are good. l do not believe thu
caucuses will show q majority of delegates
for any candidate. Mr.. Brown will re
ceive generous support upon the first bal
lot and when the friends of the severa
candidates cast about for their secont
choice, believe Mr.. Browns recognized
fitness for the position will bring to hi
support the necessary number Of delegate.
and insure his nomination.
Everett, certainly, will be loyal to hel
candidate and we have assurances of strong
support from other quarters

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following erfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound apd Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as !
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured Of
irreguSarity."

Two Months Achievements.

The war is little more than two
months old 1t was April goth that
the President signed and sent the ul-
tinatum of this country to Spain and
also signed notification of intention
to blockade the Cuban ports. This
date will undoubtedly be taken in future
as the beginning of the war, although
formal declaration was not made
until May IS. What has been achiev-
ed in the two months?
In the trst place, one of the great
est victories in naval warfare has been
won by Admiral Dewey, and the
Philippine Islands, the richest and
most valuable colonial possession OF
Spain, have been placed in such a
condition that the United States can
take and hold them whenever it
chooses. This alone is feat which
any nation might be proud to perform
in so brief time.
The only thing this country had to
fear from Spain was its navy. This,
even in its decrepit condition, could,
If skillfully handled, have been a
source of anxiety and have caused
damage at unprotected points on the
coast of the United States. The neu-
tralizing of this fleet, it was acknowl-
edged, was one of the most desirable
events of the war. In less than two
months this has been accomplished
and Cervera's ships lie securely
bottled in Santiago Harbor with their
capture or destruction as certain as
any future event can be.
The need of a trained army it was
felt would be one of the greatest
drawbacks to the prosecution of the
war. To gather, equip and drill such
an army needs time, thought and
money. 1t is probable that no nation
in the condition the United States
was last April ever did so much in
two months to prepare an army for
ac-lal service as this country has done.
At least 10000 volunteers are gath
cred and $4,000 more will soon be
added. Two expeditions have sent
away, one to the PHILIPPINES, 5000
miles off, and another to Cuba to aid
the navy in the capture of Santiago.
These are the three great achieve
ments of two months of war. If any
one is dissatisfied with the progress
made let him show what nation. be-
ginning where the United States did
two months ago, has achieved as
much in the same time. Press.
