DuPING THE PUBLIC.

Imitation is said to be the sincerest
form of flattery, but it is very objec-
tionable method of paying tribute to the
excellence of the original article which
the public has learned to have confidence
in. Illegal imitation in the way of coun-
terfeiting labels of we'll known bevera ges
long ago reached considerable proportions.
but now those who dispense them by the
glass have even gone so far as to refill
the bottles of well known wines and min
eral waters, so that when one orders
drinks by the glass he cannot always be
sure that he is getting the genuine, de-
spite the genuneness of the labels This
was brought out recently in a case insti-
tuted by The Apollinaris Company of
London before Judge Butler of the United
States court in Philadelphia, as a result
of which the offender who was accused
of refilling bottles bearing genuine Apol-
linaris labels, spent some time in prison
fmpositions which are practiced upon
the public with food or drink by grasp
ing dealers, are particularly reprehensi-
BILE, and II is gratifying to notice that the
prosecution of these Offenders is becom-
ing more frequent,
As to all goods that are put up in bot
ties or other complete packages, the pub
lie would do well to buy by the bottle or
the package and as an additional safe
guard make their purchases from reliable
sources

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time
The foundation of woman's health Is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. /
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
clnes. 1now wish to say that / never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me OF leucorrhea. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
OF the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

A BIG TASK.
Five Hundred Men Filling
Millbury Ice House.

MiIlbury Jan. give hundred men
are at work cutting ice at Flint's pond
at the Millbury branch and filling the
big Bay State ice houses with ice clear
as crystal and II inches thick. The
foremen say that the ice Is the best
that they have seen for years, and the
weather has been more favorable for
the harvesting this season than it has
been for a number of years past.
This morning a workman named Hor-
gan fell from a cake of ice which he
was plotting down the stream, and had
narrow escape from being drowned.
Morgan is an old man and was unable
to swim, but managed to hold on to
the cake of ice until assistants arrived.
Martin Toomey came to his assistance,
and with the aid of a pike pole he sue
ceeded in rescuing him. The unfortun-
ate man was sent to the boiler house
and after a few hours he returned to
work again. An employee of the COM
pany told a Spy man that it was a
common occurrence to fish some I'M
fortunate out of the water. He said:
you see it is always the new men
who get the ducking,' because all the
old hands know what jobs to take when
we get here"
1t is rumored that th2 Millbur,y cotton
mills are to start up in a few days, and
many are of the opinion that the move
mentS which are being takne are of
such a nature that would indicate that
the plant was to resume operations
shortly. There is a large consignment
of cotton at the Boston and Albany de-
pot ready to be taken to the mill. The
plant has been idle for the past eight
months, and all residents are hoping
that the report is true and that Mill
bury will once more return to a pros
porous village.
The Wheeler mills in Bramanvflle
have been looked over by several and
the prospects are that LeWinthal of
Boston will take the plant in the near
future. The plant is one of the finest
in this vicinity and has surplus water
supply.
A horse owned by jeremiah D. Kelli-
her and driven by his 13-yeaH old son

TACOMA, Wash, January 3.-Passengers
who arrived on the steamer Alki from Alas

December 3. report that the Chilkat In
dans are terrorizing the white inhabitants
of Pyramid Harbor, near Skaguay, and

guns compelled all the whites in that To-
cahty to leave. When the Alhi left SkaSuay
no blood had been shed, but trouble was
imminent.
On reaching Indian river the miners were
Informed that two men, names unknown,
had frozen to death on the Yukon between
Fort Selkirk and Dawson. They were
guarding a Scow load of frozen dressed
beef and perisned one exceptionally cold
night in November.
Several tons of mail for Dawson are
