Not the Man Who Was wanted.

Detective Ballou of Chester came to
Putney Monday in search of the burglar
who broke into Pollard's store in Chester
a short time ago. In some way he learn
ed that man answering the description of
the burglar came to Putney on the day
following the burglary and secured work
on the Parker farm. Mr. Ballou had in
his possession a shoe which the burglar
left in the store and which had been slit
with knife in order to relieve pressure on
the foot. He called at Fred Leach's and
found that the man had stopped there in
search of work. He was told that the
man took off his overshoes, revealing a
shoe which had been slit with knife and
which matched the shoe which Mr.. Ballou
had in his possession. He also found that
the man had engaged board at Irving
Ketchum's. Satisfied that he was on
the right track Mr.. Ballou had Deputy
Sheriff A. w. j. wilkins arrest the man,
who said he was Fred Lewis of Lunenburg
Mr.. Wilkins questioned him closely as to his
movements before and since the burglary,
and he became satisfied that the prisoner
was not guilty of the offense charged. The
prisoner was therefore discharged.
Three-Year-OId Boy Seriously Burned.
Walter, three-years-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Phelps, who live near the
East Putney depot, was severely burned
by falling into pail of hot water Monday.
Mrs. Phelps had just poured the water into
the pail and set it down upon the floor.
The child was then in another part of the
room. Mrs. Phelps had taken but few
steps from the pail when the child fell
against it, tipping it over. The boy was
scalded about the back, both arms, and
one leg. The skin dropped from his back
when he was lifted from the floor. At this
writing the child is alive, but is in a criti-
cal condition, Mr.. Phelps is section mas

The Annual school Meeting.

The annual school meeting was held at
the town hall Saturday afternoon. A much
smaller number was present than usual,
presumably on account of the storm. E.
g. Robertson was chosen moderator for the
ensuing year. E. j. Temple received 30
out of SO votes cast for member of the board
of education to serve for three years, and
was therefore reelected. 1t was voted to
raise and appropriate $1617,93 for running
expenses, outside of the amount required
by law, also 5000 for supplies. After some
discussion, it was voted to postpone indef-
nitely the matter of putting music and
drawing into the schools. 1t was voted to
pay one-half of the G. E. Estey note. Be
fore the meeting adjourned the subject of
music and drawing was again agitated, and
the board of education was instructed to
inform themselves thoroughly as to esti-
mated cost, and be prepared to report at the
next meeting.

TIE McLURE CLOSED.
The Big Hotel Win Not Be Re-opened Until
Entirely RECONSTRUCTED.

The Big Hotel VIII Net Be Re-opened Until
Entirely RECONSTRUCTED.
Yesterday afternoon the Mcclure
House was closed to the travelling pub
lie, and will not be reopened again I'M
til many thousands of dollars have been
expended upon it, and both outwardly
and inwardly it has taken on new form.
When the projected plans have been
completed no one will be able to rec
ognize the old building.
Dinner was the last meal served in
the house yesterday, and about four
o'clock the bar was closed, while tray
elers were turned away to seek accom-
modations where they could find them.
A few guests and permanent boarders
spent the night in their rooms last
night, but in the course of day or
two all these will leave. The billiard
room was open last evening, as we'll as
the cigar stand, and there was a linn
tied force Of people on duty about the
building, but these will be gradually
dispensed with as boarders leave. AS
a result of the closing of the hotel
about eighty people will be thrown out
of employment for longer or shorter
period, and a number of old and faith
full servants of the travelling public will
become scattered.
The plans for the remodeled building,
which have been prepared by Franz
helm, Giesey & Faris. show an interior
which indicates a modern and very
handsome house. The preliminary
drawing is, of course, subject to change,
but as it stands at present it illustrates
a six story building. with four perpen-
dicular lines of bay windows on the
Market street front, and bays at the
Twelfth street corner. The extremes
of the building are ornaIAnted with
large towers of graceful design, and
there are other outside changes which
will make the frontage that of an en-
tirely new building. The interior
changes will be quite as marked, and
everything will be new and thoroughly
up-to-date in every respect. 1t is hoped
to have the work completed in time for
opening in the early fall, when Wheel
ing will have a larger and better APP
pointed hotel than ever before.

The cozy residence was handsomely
decorated for the occasion, rare potted
plants being a feature of the embellish-
ments, while the delicately worked out
color idea lent an additional charm to
the scene and embellished the success

the occasion, and Mrs. Ziegenfelder was
the caterer. During the afternoon

In the Criminal Court yesterday.
Judge PAUL dismissed the habeas cor
pus proceedings in the case of State VS..
DR.. S. K. Hissom, and ordered that he
be removed to the custody of the Sher-
if, together with all the papers from
Justice C. S. Greer. The court further
ordered that Hissom be conveyed to the
Weston Hospital for the Insane, and
there confined pending a finding that
he is not insane by the examining board

in dismissing the writ, that the pro-
ceedings which had been taken against
Hissom were not in conflict with the
State constitution.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
Ono Of the Best Features Of the New
Pile Cure.


Ono of the Best Features of the Ne,
Pile Cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle
of pain. This desirable point is not
obtained by the use of injurious
opiates which simply deaden and
paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long
run. But 1t is done solely by its
remarkable healing and soothing
effects.
And while it thus gives immedi-
ate relief, at the same time the dis
ease is not merely checked, but a
radical cure is rapidly accom-
plished.
And the point we want to make
clear is that all this is done with
out particle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for
the popularity of the Pyramid Pile
Cure and constitutes one very great
difference between it and almost
any other kind of treatment for
piles.
Every kind of surgical operation
for piles is excruciatingly painful
besides endangering the life of the
patient and in most cases is not to
be compared with the Pyramid
Cure, neither in making successful
cures without pain nor in cheap
ness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
before the public so long, and its
merits recognized by too many peo-
pie to allow it to be classed with
the many salves, suppositories,
pills, etc, and you run no risk in
trying it, as is often the S2se with
untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do
not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure.
Prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co.
of Marshall, Mich, and sold by
druggists at so cents per package.

masters. This is the system of society
that Carlysle would establish; this is
his ideal of a perfect social state. Yet
he never tells us how we shall get our
benevolent despots who shall guide and
force us into doing what we ought. If
Carlysle could tell us some way of get
ting these heroic leaders for this blind
world, something might be said for
his system; but after telling us with all
manner Of emphasis that we must get
our great men to lead and command us,
Carlysle withdraws into his clouds and
we are left in thick darkness again.
Carlyles remedies for social ills
were emigration, organization, moral
culture and popular education. He
was, however, very vague in his mode
of presenting these remedies to the
popular mind The fourth remedy was
probably the most important, according
to his mind and to his eternal honor
be it said, that he was one of the earli-
est advocates of a national system or
education. THE diffusion of know
ledge was with Carlyle a prime object
of effort, and l suspect that no part of
his teachings will be more permanently
valuable than this advocacy of univer-
sal education"
President Raymond then summoned
up what he considered Carlyle's great
est services to society. i. His mega
tive criticism has been of inestimable
value. He tore out the very heart OF
more than one idolatrous superstition.
1t is something to remove errors, even
if you do not introduce truths" 2. His
arraignment Of social hypocrisy cannot
be praised too highly. Cant was his
abomination. Upon hypocrisy in high
life and low, in religion, politics, art,
literature, he trained his heaviest guns,
and his broadsides have not been with
out effect. 3. Carlyle fearlessly insist
ed that social morality does not end
with the discharge Of money obliga-
llOuS. Mail 10 uIo VI OChCl hOSPCh'
The payment of a few pieces of money
does not cancel all obligations of man
to man. 4. Carlyle insisted that indi-
vidual competition as practiced in the
business world of to-day, is heartless
and insane and wrong. Some new form
of cooperation must be substituted for
competition.
Carlyle, in a word, preached SINGER
ity, honesty, earnestness, Better to per-
ish than do dishonest work ne taught,
or do ones honest work otherwise than
WELL The question is not: What
wages hadst thou for thy work?' but,
How was thy work done?' His doc
trine of the essential nobility of labor
is another beautiful and eternally val
liable part of Carlyle's teaching. He,
more than any other man, taught the
world that there is a parental noble
ness, and even sacredness in work.
Were he never so benighted forgetful
Of his high calling, there is always
hope in man that actually and ear
nestly works; in idleness alone is there
perpetual despair. The latest gospel in
this world is, know thy work and do it.
Know what thou canst work at, and
work at it like Hercules."
