GREAT TROUT FISHING IN REDD1NG,

This has been good season for trout.
Some of our expert fishermen have had
extraordinary luck. George Sherman
caught "a in three hours and Deputy
Marshal Hayes of Monroe caught 40 one
day last week, s )me of them of good size.
Children's day will be observed at the
Methodist church, next Sunday evening.
Elaborate preparations are being made
to have it a success.
Our enterprising fellow citizen, John
Todd, has offered to pay the expenses of
the Umpawaugh school for two weeks,
that it may be continued longer than the
town has made an appropriation for.
The school has been taught the past year
by Miss Mary Flood, who has given ex-
cellent satisfaction.
Mr. and Mrs Levi Frerch were the
guests of Mrs F. j. Bradley over Sunday.
The little daughter of Thomas Delany
broke out with scarlet fever in the Lone
town school on Friday; consequently
the school has been closed and the house
has been quarantined by order of DR.
Smith.
Will Baldwin has established quite a
paper route, coming over as far as the
Ridge every Sunday. Everybody seems
eager for war news and the postoffices at
the Center and Ridge are thronged every
night by those waiting for their evening
papers.

The chicken crop promises to be very

far greater than all others combined.

REDDTNG.
A PATRIOTIC CLIMBER.

For long time the halyards of the
fiagpole on Redding Ridge have been
missing, so that Old Glory could not float
in the breeze. This was very aggraVat-

body was showing their patriotism by
display of the stars and stripes. So on
Tuesday last II. S. Shaw undertook the
task of restoring the rope. He daringly
went up hand over hand in true sailor

over week waiting for sailors and
favorable wind, towed TO sea Saturday
morning. 1.-The Sarmiento's cruise will be
TO the eastward until she crosses the
Grand Banks, and then to the southwark
and eastward until the Cape de Veroe
islands are sighted. Then it is expected
she will get the trades that will take her
to the River Platte, her destlnatlon. IL
will be seen that her course WILL take her
very near to the much dreaded Spanish
fiotilla. The captain said that this dldn t
brighten him at all and that he didn't ex-
peot the least bit of trouble.
The tug Kniokerbocker will go to Bath

pany.

NAVAL OFFICERS PLEASED.

Key West, Fla, April 16.-The discon-
tent of the naval men here over the de-
lay at the Washington end of the stu
alton has almost disappeared since the re-
ceipt of advices regarding the mobiliza-
ton of the regular troops at the gulf
stations and the probability of the Senate
reaching vote tonight.
The navy naturally is much interested
In the latter phase of the situation. In
their opinion the Maine disaster is the
only cause for war. Il This is apparent by
the enthusiasm which greeted the news
of the Senate committee's resolution ac-
cusing Spain.
A corr espondent here last night received
a query from Capt. Sampson as to wheth-
er the flying squadron had returned.
The boat which brought the inquiry got
away before an answer could be sent
and there were no more boats to go. Con-
sequently correspondent went to the
Cincinnati, lying at the government dock
and through the courtesy of Capt. Ches-
ter, WAS enabled to enlighten the COM
mander of the fleet by signals. The mes
sage sent was: Flying squadron re-
turned to Fort Monroe this afternoon.
Twenty-Five regiments of infantry or
dered to the gulf stations,
Various colored lights flashed this mes
sage from 1.-THE Cincinnati to the Puritan
and thence to the Castine, which finally
transmitted it to the flagship New York.

the information within 90 minutes.

lions. His sick room is often cheered by
letters from those who owe their spiritual
awakening to him. Visitors find him
the same genial, sympathetic friend and
feel, as one who knew him well, ex-
pressed it: with all his loss of bodily
powers there's big man left yet.
When asked recently: s'Dr. Allen, how
do you amuse yourself lying here?" His
eyes frightened and smile overspread

GRAPE-NuTs.
New and Highly nutritious Food.

The odd sounding name is used to
designate peculiar food, made NOT ex-
actly in the shape of nuts, but having a
pleasant, nutty flavor and crisn britt1o-
ness that makes them a CHARMING favorito
with the palate.
OF yet more value than the taste ia tho
food value of Grape-Nuts They are
largely composed of Grape Sugar. (vaur
dictionary can tell you about that) and
slose who use them will find the mornin :,
meal has not only been pleasant but has
been quickly and easily digested. for
grape-sugar is an article produced In the
human body at one stage of the digestion
of food. and is at once ready for trans
formation into good healthy blood and
nourishment
Do not understand that the grape
sugar, of which Grape-N Nuts is made, has
been produced in the human body. But
thls grape-sugar is made by much the
Same process as the body employs. This
grape'sugar is produced by natural treat
ment OF grains without any foreign SUBJ
stance whatever. The result is perhaps
the most highly nutritious food ever pro-
duced.
Grocers keep Grape-Nuts in Is cent
packages.
