in a Queer Manner.

Westboro, Oct. 27.-Josiah A. Brown
was found dead at his home this NOR
ming at II o'clock, by Mrs. Ellen w.
Wild. Deputy Sheriff VIM. Maynes was
sent for and arrived in short order.
The windows were all fastened, and
the doors were securely locked. The
man was found in a little bedroom in
the rear Of the house, and the window
curtain was up, giving plain view of
the unfortunate man. The body was
lying at right angles to the window,
the head and upper part being on the
floor, and the lower part partly on the
bed and in the air. The house being
locked, William Wild was called, and
with jimmy he opened one of the
| front windows.
| 1t looked from the position CT the body
| as though Brown had tried to get from
the bed to the chair, where his clothes
| were, and that his strength had sud
| denly left him.
| The room was in a general disorder,
pillow lying on the moor, the bed
clothes tossed in every direction and
| chairs upturned. The floor vas spat-
| tered with blood that flowed from the
| dead mans nose, Undertaken Wood
was summoned, and after an examina-
ton, decided that death was caused
| from natural causes, old age being
probably the cause.
| The deceased was. 50 years old and

I was temperate man, and when last
seen, Sunday night, appeared to be in

| four days. He will be buried in Pine
| Grove cemetery Saturday afternoon.
| A QUEER RECOVERY.
| A part of the silverware that was
stolen from the residence of Mrs. Mar
gia A. BuTnap last week was recovered
this morning. The silverware was
found on the steps of the house occu-
street, and was done UP in an old brown
paper bag. ]. H. Cummings, an en-
ploye at the Lyman school, who boards
with Mrs. Wilcox, was on the way home
Wednesday night, and sow some one
on the opposite side of the street. He
kept on towards the house, and upon
stepping onto the porch saw q paper
bag on the right side of the steps, but
did not make any investigation.
In the morning as he started to work
he again saw the bag, and was tempt
ed out of curiosity to open it, and
found that it contained three pieces of
silyerware and some spoons and knives
packed in excelsior. He thought Of
Mrs. Burnap's robbery, and he took the
bag and contents Immediately to her
home, and found that they were her
property.
She Immediately examined the things
to see if any had been damaged. The
tea service was badly scratched and
covered with dust in places, and the
whole contents had the appearance Of
having been left in the woods, as
leaves and pine twigs and dirt were in
the bag in abundance. The bag is an
ordinary 25-pound bag, such as is used
in grocery stores, and was marked Gro
min Bros, Millbury, Mass, on the out
side. The silver found is only plated,
and worth about $50.

and diseases of their deli W
cate. feminine structure.
Nothing less than unbearable torment
would induce sensitive-minded women to
submit TO the intolerable methods of the
average doctor in dealing with diseases OF
this nature.
That there is ga better way than these
detestable examinations " and local APP
nlications " is truth which some women
have vet to learn, although thousands are
already rejoicing in the knowledge. They
have found in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription the one unfailing remedy which
heals feminine weaknesses at their very
source. This marvellous Prescription
restores absolute health to the internal
organism stops weakening drains and ul-
cerated conditions, gives elastic strength
to the supporting ligaments, vitality TO the
nerve centers, and complete womanly yigoT
to the entire constitution.
1t is the perfect fortifer and regulator OF
women at every critical period in their
development; from the time when they
merge into womanhood until the change
of life" 1t is the one medicine which
makes motherhood safe and almost free
from pain.
