AN IMPORTANT QUERY
WHICH PERMITS OF ONLY ONE HONEST
ANSWER

This unavoidable question has to be an
swered honestly by Bellows Falls and Sax
tons River people after they have read the
opinions given below by Mr.. 7. H. Hughes
of Saxtons River, VT, employed by T. B.
Locke & Co., hardware dealers, which of a
dozen articles all making the same claims,
can depend upon most, one endorsed by
people well known in Bellows Falls and Sax
tons River, or eleven endorsed by utter
strangers. Read this and compare the evil
dence with other statements about other kid
ney remedies published side by side with it
in the CO umns of this paper.
Mr.. Hughes says: "My kidneys have
troubled me for years and it has been gradu-
ally growing on me. For the past two or
three it has troubled me very much with a
dull, aching pain across my back and in my
loins. If stood on my feet for any length
of time felt the pains across my back more
and my legs would feel numb. When the
pain IN my back got SO bad that 1 could stand

clues of all kinds but they did not reach my
trouble. saw Doan's Kidney Pills adver-

energy IN doing NV work and give all III
credit to Doan's Kidney Pills. They have
done me great deal of good and feel justi-
fed in recommending them to others, as a

Vermont Prize Fight.

Bennington, always giving us something
startling, now announces hat she had prize
fight in barn last Saturday. According to
the report, the contestants were a negro and
a white man between whom there had been
some ill feeling for some time. The scrap
was witnessed by manufacturers, professional
men, sports and clerks to the number of
about 80. The white man apparently
get ing the best of the match after several
rounds when the darby pulled oil his gloves
and went for his opponent with bare fits and
by butting him with his head negro fashion.
The Caucasian had his face considerably
scratched up. This is the second sfair OF the
kind that has occurred within a few Years,
both of which occurred in about the same To-
calty. The owner of the barn found out
what Mas going on when the I, flair VAS about
over hut was pr vented from getting to the
party by pori IN of it standing on the trap
door over the stairs unit the fight was over.
The affair Is said to have been msnaged by a
young man recently from the west.

.ral schemes nroposed for building an elec-

trio road to Northfeld. A report will he
made at a future meeting. 1t is presumed
that the other towns will appoint similar
committees and in this way some formal
plans will result. Two routes to Hinsdse
are suggested, one on the east and the other
on the west side of the Connect cut river.
There is some enthusiasm manifested bv the
Vernon people for the west side route, which
would take in their town, crossing the river
in below the Withheld place. Hnsda'e and
Vernon have long discussed the advisabi'ity
of building u bridge to connect the two
places, and now that The line is ro sbility,it
is believed there is more probability of its
construction. While the route is lite
longer on the west side of the river, it is
argued that this would necessitate the build
ing of hut one bridge, while it it went across
the island and down the east side two bridges
would be required.

LIVE STOCK MARKET,

Sheep and lambs-By the average
trade of the week it was shown that
there was an uncertainty to the MAI et
which was severely felt in some quartz s.
For instance the sheep and lambs trade
started out with the prospect of having
light supply with just enough demand
to carry off the consignments, with the
prices Of last week holding over firmly
These expectations proved incorrect
The arrivals came in heavily until there
was an immense supply of the sheep and
lambs stock on the market. This
brought down the prices with a jump,
and they fell fully one-fourth under
what they brought last week.
/ Northern and eastern beef cattle
There was about the usual supply, with
a fair demand, and prices holding over
from last week. The sales We're small
and mostly in small lots.
Western beef cattle-The entire con-
signment went to the export trade and
home s'aughterers were not included
in the list.
Veal calves-Calves were another stock
which held the steady prices of week
ago and the sales were steady through
out the week. The supply was slightly
decreased, but the demand was not
heavy.

The Cheshire provident institution of
Keene was referred to last week "a the
'Christian provident institution" Years
ago the latter cogomen would not have beer
misnomer. The sturdy farmers of Cheshi Q
county had nnbour ded faith in the financial
soundness of the Cheshire provident- They
believed in it as much as they did in the
Bible or their C unity newspapers; they made
haste to deposit their bard earning- in its
Golfers. But they don't take stock in it any
more, for it followed in the wake of most OF
the New Hampshire savings banks and be-
came "a back NUMBER" and their implicit
faith has given place to anethemas. The
Security savings bank of Winchester paid
$4,000 in dividends to depostors the first OF
last week. There was no rush or scramble.
and many who drew out their funds bought
certificates in the national bank bear
