Old Terrace tells a strange story OF what
she witnessed last week Friday afternoon
about 4 80 o'clock as she was walking
through Canal street towards the Square.

hands and the face come to the surface
four times and then the body fosted past
the B. & M. bridge and out of sight
There was hat floating on the water a
short distance behind the body.
When asked if anyone else saw the body
Mrs. Goodnow said shs spoke to a man
who passed her on Canal street, but while
he was looking the body did not come to
The surface, but after he bad gone she saw
it twice more. She thought it might be
the body of Owen Doyle but as he was
seen four hours later. this was impossible.
Mrs. Goodnow is very confident that what
she saw was body.

Dr.. Lord, the Noted Specialist.

DR. Lord has been located at Walpole
for the past nine months, and in this time
has performed some wonderful an remark
able cures DR. Lord does not come to us
a perfect stranger, as we have read many
OF his remarkable cures in the New Hamp-
shire papers. While the doctor does not
claim he can cure everybody, he does claim
that all the cures published are bona 6de
cures and he uses no pate nt's name unless
the patient is perfectly willing. The doc
tor has practced medicine upwards of 20
years and cures where the so called doctor
fails. His speclalties are long standing
and lingering diseases, such as Dyspepsia,
Catarrb, Liver and Kidney Trouble, Asth-
ma, Rheumatism. Ulcers and Old Sores,
B. onchins, Ovarian Difficulties, Female
Welkness, Irregular Merses, Leucorrhea,
S minal Weakness, Impotency, Syphilitic
diseases and in fact any and all forms of
chronic diseases.
He uses no mineral or poisonous drugs,
purely Vegetable Remedies gathered from
natures garden. Thu doctor is a regular
graduate physician and stands high in his
profession He tells diseases at sight-no
long list of questions ask, d, and if durable
he will cure you; unlike some of his medi-
cal brethren, he does not want your money
unless be can bereit or cure you.
He deals uprightly and honorably with
all; in him the unfortunate sufferer finds
sy mpathizing friend. While there is life
there is hope; let no one de.pair until
given up by DIR. Lord. The doctor will
call at your place Of residence if desired,

Petition to Change Grade.

Some two weeks ago petition was filed
with the selectmen asking that the grade
on Pine street from George street to the
top of the back Terrace be changed so as
not to be more than five per cent in any
of the distance. Thi, is a citizens petit
ton in the interests of the electric road,
and is signed by George A. Weston, A..
H. Thompson, c. E. Howard, George B.
Wheeler, E S. Leonard, E L. Walker,
G. L. Barber, A. n Swan, L. S. Hayes,
G. Chase and George R. Wales.
1t is thought that in order to secure the
grade desired the top of the terrace will
Lave to be lowered at least ten feet and
the lower part of Pine street elevated.
Should this result in damage to property
owners along the street it is probable that
the town would have to settle. Auditing
property owners were given notice of the
petition and a hearing was begun in the
town clerks office at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.

and tired Of the throne. The absence
of an heir eXcites his superstitious
feelings. and he connects himself with
a Russian legend, according to which
an herless car is to be succeeded by
a car Michael, predestined to occupy
Constantinople. The death of the
czareWitch and the failure Of the con-
ference at The Hague, led him to de-
eide to abdicate on the occasion of his
coming visit to Darmstadt. On this
becoming known in Paris NJ. Delcasse
was sent in hot haste to dissuade him
from carrying out his intention"

The agricultural department has is
sued bulletin treating of the probable
success of the efforts of the depart-
ment to establish the Smyrna fig in
dustry in California. 1t appears that
the fruiting Of the Smyrna fig is de-
pendent upon the introduction from
the south Of Europe and the establish
ment in California of little insect
which fertilizes the fig. Experimental
introductions of the insect were there
upon begun, and some of them brought
over in 1898 have succeeded in pene-
trating the closed flowers of the Capri
figs growing at Fresno, making the
first step of the experimental work a
success. The bulletin adds: "Since
the insect has maintained itself for an
entire year there is reason to suppose
that it will continue to breed, and that
California in the near future will be
able to place a fig upon the market
which will possess the same superior
flavor as that which has given the i'm
ported Smyrna figs their pre-eminent
commercial rank"
