DEATH OF AFRAID w. LYNDB
4 Native of Guiiford who Was One of
the OIG-TIme Stage Drivers.

Arad w. Lynde, 70, died at his home in
New Salem, Mass, Sunday, after brief
illness with pneumonia. He was pros
porous farmer and respected citizen and
was formerly well-known in Franklin
county as a stage driver. He drove from
Greenfield to New Salem on the Greenfield
Worcester route, New Salem being the
half. way point. He was a strong, vigor-
Gus man, capable of turning off large
amount of work daily.
Mr.. Lynde was born in Guilford, June
:, 1920. When 10 years cd he went to
Greenfield and worked in the John Russell
cutlery shop year His love OF horse
flesh led him TO change his occupation and
he was for two years employed as hoster
in the stable OF Eleazer Reed and at the
American House. He next went TO South
Deerfield and took care OF stage horses
until April :, 1913, when he bought the
stage route from Greenfield to New Salem.
Mr.. Lynde's stage connected at New Sa-
lem with the one driven from there to
Worcester by Marcus Barrett. Many
prominent men of the time rode with Mr..
Lynde, and he was popular driver
Mr.. Lynde drove stage over that route
for six years and three months until the
was Cblu plcltu anu bLt
patronage had decreased until but one
horse was necessary to haul his vehicle,
which had degenerated from a grand old
coach to an ordinary spring wagon. The
old coach made three round-trips a week
from Greenfield to New Salem and return,
on Mondays, Wednesdays apd Fridays,
while on alternate days another coach left
Greenfield and connected with the Br9ttle-
boro coach at West Orange, where passen-
gers and mail were transferred to another
coach which went to Fitchburg. Mr..
Lynde's route was the more direct and
consequently more popular When the
lack of patronage in 1S49 made the con-
tinuance of the stage route impracticable,
Mr.. Lynde bought farm in New Salem
and had since lived there. He served as
tax collector Ii years and was constable
for a long time. He married Harriet
Woods of Mortified, who died several
years ago His second wife was Elvira
Wheeler of Brattleboro, who survives him.

WHAT SHALL WE Do?

serious and dangerous disease prevails in
this country, dangerous because so deceptive. II
comes on so slowly yet surely that It is often
firmly seated before we are aware of 1t.
The name of this disease which may be divided
into three distinct stages is First, Kidney trouble
Indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lum-
oago, frequent desire TO urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed TO advance, this reaches the Second
stage or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in
abdomen low down between he navel and the
water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with
scalding sensation in passing small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary
TO draw 1t with instruments. If uric acid or
gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if
neglected
The third stage is Brght's Disease.

covered a remedy famous for its marvellous cures

Some Nicknames Among the Rough

Some Mechanics Among the Rough
Riders.
The men speedily gave one another nick
names, largely conferred in a spirit of de-
rision, their basis lying in contrast. A
brave but fastidiOus member of we'll
known Eastern club, who was serving in
the ranks, was ehristened "Tough Ike;"
and his bunkie, the man who shared his
shelter-tent, who was a decidedly rough
cow-puncher, gradually acquired the name
of "The Dude" One unlucky and sim
pie minded cow-puncher, who had never
been east of the great plains in his life,
unwarily boosted that he had an aunt in
New York, and ever afterward went by
the name of metropolitan Bill" A
huge red-headed Irishman was named
"Sheeny Solomon" A young jew who
developed into one of the best fighters in
the regiment accepted, with entire equan-
unity, the name of "Pork-chOp. We
had quite number of professional gam
blers, who / am bound to say, usually
made good soldiers. One who was almost
abnormally quiet and gentle, was called
"Hel Roarer;" while another. who in

a Career Of Adventure.

The following from recent number Of
the Athol Mass, Transcript will be of in
terest to many in this town. as Mr.. Donley
spent his boyhood here:
"Some months ago the Transcript gave
a brief sketch of the adventures Of Elwood
Donley, a son of Mrs. Frank Davis of this
town, and brother Of George $. Donley, a
conductor on the Athol and Orange electric
road. Donley formerly belonged to the
third regiment of cavalry in the United
States army, and was, for meritorious SER
vice, promoted from private to cor
poral. Again he distinguished himself in
the service and his pay was raised 81 per
month The document authorizing this
additional pay was signed by Benjamin
Harrison, president. He left the United
States service and with 200 men went from
Vera Cruz, Mexico, to Cuba. They landed
on the west side of the island and Joined
the rebel army. A few days after landing,
in hard fight with the Spaniards, he was
taken prisoner and carried to Havana, the
headquarters of the army. He was soon
courtmartialed and sentenced TO be shot
on the 2Slh day Of December. He had
money concealed about him, and brbed
the guard to give him a chance to get
away. About II o clock at night when all
was still, he lowered himself from win.
dow to the ground, then swan to boat
out in the harbor and got out to sea little.
Then he drlted till vessel bound for
Galveston, Tex, discovered him and pick
ed him up
"Donley afterwards joined the Philip
pines expedition, and left for that far
away country June p, reaching Manila
July 81. Some weeks ago his brother
George received letter from him, dated
at Manila, September 30. He states that
he had been sick ever since the Sth of
July, having contracted the measles at
Honolulu on his way TO the Philippines.
The measles went with him to Manila, ne
says, and he came pretty near taking his
departure for another world. Then he
had the typhoid fever, and it went hard
with him. He recovered so as 20 be able
to participate in one OF the battles on land,
and was wounded in the hip, the 2S-cali-
Der bullet going through the bone without

and he said that, according to their cal
culatons, they had penetrated as far south
as 70 degrees when they became wedged
in the ice.
"They got as far south as Alexander
Island and spent some time in surveying
and exploring new channel they discov-
cred there. DIR. Cook did not tell me the
name of the channel or the result of the
survey. All that will come out in the Off
cial report of the expedition.
after they had explored this channel
they set sail for the south. They hadn't
gone far before they got stuck fast in
an ice foe. They couldn't get out, try
as they would. For twelve long months
they stuck there, drifting about over the

field that extended as far as they could

twelve months they were in this ice field,
DR. Cook said. they had seventy days OF
absolute darkness, during which they

they could.
altogether DIR. Cook said that they
arifted more than 1900 miles in that ice
feid. It's a pity the wind hadn't driven
'ern south instead of west, then they might
have made a record. 1 asked DR.. Cook
what they had to eat while they We're fast
in the ice. He told me they had lots of
canned goods on board, and that when
they wanted fresh meat they went out
ana killed a few seals and penguins.
