too much for him. Ee was shut up
and Jailer Hammis sent for the sheriff.
Sheriff Wagner ordered Betlach to get
out of his cell and go up stairs. He
was only bluffing, but the big man was
afraid of him and marched quietly

Typhoid Need Not Cause Any Alarm
when They Come.

Many letters and messages are daily re-
ceived by the state fair authorities from peo-
pie about the state, saying that they can
not think of coming to the fair when there
is such an epidemic of typhoid fever on the
grounds.
Secretary Randall said yesterday afternoon
that he wished the papers to make it clearly
understood that as the troops are
off the grounds every possible means will be
taken, under the direction of the board of
health to have the entire district renovated
and thoroughly disinfected.
Besides, the typhoid fever camp far
away from any place frequented by fair
visitors. There is no reason why the fever
among the troops should prevent people from
turning out during fair week.

In considering the relative value of
various commercial interests those
which contribute most largely to the
supplies Of the necessities of mankind
are entitled to be regarded as Of chief
importance Ranking next in import
ance after that great division devoted
to the trade in groceries is the trade in
flour, grain, mill feeds, hay, straw etc.
One of the largest representatives in
this line in Worcester is the concern Of
e. A Cowee, who also conducts a large
mill and elevator at West Boylston,
which is fitted with a complete line of
improved machinery for grinding flour
and feed. He has three retail stores, one
at Hudson, Mass, and one at 4 Wash

started by his grandfather in 1850 as

for the demands made upon him will
soon prove to himself his own made
quacy. To succeed in this line a man
must not only be popular among all
classes, but must enjoy an established
reputation for carrying first class goods.
One of the best and most successfully
conducted establishments of this kind
in this city Is that of John W. McKeon
& Co., at 66 Southbridge street This
business was started in 1891 by Mr.. Nc
Keen, and since his death in 1894 has
been successfully carried on by his es-
tate The stock includes the choicest

ing Co of Boston, d special feature be-
ing made of bottled ales, wines and
lager for family trade, bottling these
goods on the premises. All goods are
purchased direct from the distlleries
and vineyards and are bought in very
large quantities and are kept in bond
so as to properly age them and have
them of a uniform quality. 1t is GER
tain no business demands for it's sue
cessful management a higher degree of
ability than that of the wholesale Ii
quor dealer. When any man can point
to a successful career as the proprietor
of a business of this character it is
proof positive that that particular per-

intelligent and progressive management.

The mechanical principles involved in
these fixtures are decidedly new and
original with Mr.. O. c. White; they are
thoroughly protected by numerous pa
tents in the United States, Canada,
England, France and Germany held by
the O. c. White company. The typical
fixture of the companys make can be
liNened to the human arm in its con-
struction. There is the ball and socket
joint at the top, a universal sWivelling
joint at the. elbow, but which also per-
mits either the upper or forearm to
slide through it, ana the wrist joint.
The simplicity of these fixtures, the
fewness and strength of their compon-
ent parts and their durability, espe-
cially commend them for the most eX-
acting service.
The company has recently developed
q line of pOTtables, desk and office fix
lures, which bid fair TO become leaders
in this class Of goods.
