Deserted Amesville.

It is sad sight to zee the deserted village of Amesyille, with the windows of fhe houses and car shops boarded ap That settlement has had it's ups and downs, but the present blow is the hardest of all. The weeds and grass have taken possession and reign su- preme. and why is it thus that such a magnificent power as the falls is not taken advantage of by some enterprise. Too bad, but all hope for better times. and it would seem, with such natural and reliable power. the hope ought not to be groupdless. Journal.
 Brace up, Neighbor Jones, and stop lameEting! If the owners of that prop erty expect it will always remain idle do you suppose they would have in- cured the unnecessary expense of boarding up the windows of the houses and car shops?

''I can't see how any family lives without Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy" says J. R. Adams a we'll known druggist, ofGene- va. Ala, in letter enquiring the price of dozen bottles, that he might not only have it for use in his own family, but supply it to his neighbors. The reason some people get along without il. is because they do do not know it's value, and what vast amount of suf- fering it will save. Where.e ever it be- comes known and used it is recognized as g necessity. for it is the only remedy tn at can always be depended upon for bowel complaints, both for children and ad ults.

PROMINENT MAN GONE.

Strange Disappearance of the Hon.
 Hubert Williams.
 Tho Hon Hubert Williams, postmas- ter at Lskeville, Conn and a member of the Conn. legislature for fCur years past, left his home on Friday, Oct 7th. since which date he has neither com municated with his family nor so far as they can learn been seen by any of his nun erous friends.
 MT Williams has for the past year been an active member of the committee appointed by the Governor of Connec- ticut to investigate and report upon the State Expenditures. The labor involv- ed proved severe strain on his strength. involving as it did the investigation of tho accounts of numerous aud widely scattered public institutions, and sub iected him to all of the discomforts at tending absence from home, and con- stant travel. His friends have noticed that with increased absorption in his work there came depression of spirit, and physical exhaustion.
 No one is better known in Connecti- cut political circles or more highly re- spected than MT Williams He was the chairman of the committee on Cities and Boroughs in the last legislature; for several years president of the Connecti- cut Fish and Game Commission, and prominent member of the Connecticut Sound Money delegation to the St. Louis convention which nominated President Mckinley.
 Mir Williams is forty years of age, of fine physique, and possesses a rich, deep voice not to be forgotten. His disappearance is the more inexplicable in that no intelligible motive can be as signed. While not wealthy Mir Will Hams was 8 man of means and was wholly uEembarrassed by financial diff culties It is feared that he is either the victim of foul play or that his mind has been affected by the causes above suggested. His fellow commissioners are causing inquiries to be made in all directions but their efforts have thus far been conducted through private channels.
 The Lakeville post office accounts are correct, and were duly settled with the U. s. postal department on the 1st of October. The post office is satisfactori- ly administered by the able assistants who continue in charge. Mir Williams was in Winsted the day he left home and the following day in Bridge port. It is earnestly hoped that good news may soon be received from him. Unlimited sympathy is felt for Mir Will liams' family during this ordeal of anx- iety and suspense.
 About fourteen years ago Mir Will Hams wandered away in this same man. ner, travelling through Cuba and Mexico and returned home in about six weeks time, his family not learning of his whereabouts until day or two before his return.
 LATER latest information of the missing man comes from A. W. Green, a reporter of the Hartford Courant, who states that he saw Mir Williams at the capitol in Hartford on Tuesday, Oct H. in company with Senator Con- verse aad Representative T. Atwater Barnes. MT Barnes is now in Quebec and the friends of Mir Williams think possibly that the two gentlemen are together.
