dleseX factory.
Assistant United States District At
tp Jones OF Bostln appeared for
the government, and John b. Moran

sented the defendants. The trial was Of
great interest, and the court room was
TOO small for the large crowd who
wished to witness the proceedings
Mr.. Jones wanted to try all together
Judge Mcdonald granted Moran's re-
quest and this was regarded as a
great victory Tor the defense, as the
government evidently desired To use
the two as witnesses against BILLIARD
The final disposition of the case was
that Billiard was discharged. Both M.
Jones and Mr.. Moran agreed to argue
for ten minutes on the remaining cases
Both were held in $500 bonds to await
action of the grand jury.
Ducette testified that he left the Mid
dlesex Factory last Thursday evening
at 4.30. He went to the post office. and
when returning he was followed down
the street by the two Woods and he
allowed them to go by, and he kept
on down the street to Hildreth street
and the Woods followed him. on Hill
dreth street he stepped to the curbstone
to allow them to go by This time a
third man came along. and gave him
blow on the back Of the head. He got
up and fell down again, and saw men
running in the opposite direction. He
waited and recognized Oliver Woods as
one of the men.
Oliver Woods and William S. Woods
were arrested that night, and later ta-
ken to the police station and cross-ex-
amined by the officials. Both men said
Billiard was the man shat struck the
blow Acting on this information, the
officers arrested Billiard He was
brought to the station. and denied all
knowledge Of, the affair. The two
Woods were brought before him, and
said he struck the blow.

The board Of overseers of the poor

to inspect the boilers there until
spring. Although the boilers are not
in the best condition, there is no dam

company having guaranteed that the
boilers will last until spring. The boil
ers We're repaired as far as possible
early in the fall. The overseers would
not wait until spring to make the
changes, but the fires cannot be extin-

5oWKER is BUSY.

City Auditor John B. Bowl1er has
found it necessary to borrow clerical
assistance from other departments of
the city hall to complete the monthly
draft on time 1t is due about the
middle of the month. Not only has ne
been obliged to secure additional help
but he is kept in his office every even
ing until 10 o'clock, and sometimes later
approving bills. Nearly all DEPART
ments have been late in putting their
bills into his hands for approval, hold
ing them back until the appropriations
for the current year are made. The
school department has sent to him
$4,000 in bills to be approved. Over
$4,000 of this amount is for bills which
should have been paid last year.

INTEREST IS LIVELY.

Great interest centers in the case of
George H. Muller against Orrin j.
Powers, both prominent people Of Athol.
The action is an assault case, and was
assigned first on the jury list for the
present term, but was continued until
today, when it is first in order, after
any case unfinished. Eminent legal tai
ent have been engaged, and the action
will be closely contested.

A stylish tender-hand youth
whose papa feeds him three times a
day and supplies him with up-to-date
togs, is an interesting study. He
usually parts his hair in the middle,
and props the lower rim of his ear
with high, hard-boiled immac-col
lar, and while yet in the pin-feath-
cred period of his existence, begins
to learn the wiles of the world. "
He attracts some attention from a
susceptible source, then he thinks
he is irresistible, and soon becomes
a society plunger-in his mind. For
about two or three years he hops
around aimlessly, imagining he is
really preparing himself for some
great and responsible position that
sooner or later will be thrust upon
him. Time only will undeceive him.
Then he will either go to work and
make of himself a good citizen or
drift into permanent worthlessness
or crimes. Such is the career of the
average dude White County News.

THE FIRST BABY.
ITS Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by ALI.

The arrival Of the first baby in the
household is the hnppiest and most inn
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who Is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother." "
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribuble fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for tho su1erings which ut
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use Of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tilic liniment--for a few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
80 prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
IL is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort
All women are Interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have TO undergo this trial, in
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is In store for them. Moth
er's Friend" is womnn's greatest bles-
sing, for IL takes her safely through the
seyerest ordeal Of her life. Every woman
should 10 glad 20 read the little book

Still More Counterfeiting

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters, and
secured a large quantity of bogus
bills, which are so cleverly executed
that the average person would new
er suspect them of being spurious.
Things of great value are always
selected by counterfeiters for imita-
tion, notably the celebrated Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for
indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
nervousness, and general debility
The Bitters set things right in the
stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order0it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner
the Bitters RESTORES vigOr to the
weak and debilitated. Beware of
counterfeits when buying. See that
a private Revenue Stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.

A correspondent asked the Com
mercial Appeal how many lives were
lest during the civil war, Union and
Confederate, and the greatest num-
Der killed in one battle, and the fol.
lowing answer was given; For the
Union armies the loss was 349, 944,
according to a report prepared in
the adjutant generals Office. The
loss of the Confederates was report
ed at 1873, ,82l, but this is an incom-
plete statement, as are most of the
Confederate records of these mat
ters. The greatest number killed in
one battle was at Gettysburg on
July l, 2 and 3, 1868, when the
Union army lost 3,O73 and the Con
federates 1892" In the light Of
these appalling figures the great
battles reported from the Philip
pines when two or three are wound
ed would seem like child's play.

effort of conducting another presi'

cognizes that it would be better for

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks Almanac.

There is no comparison between
former editions, and this splendid
Almanac for 1900, now ready.
Printed in beautiful colors, on much
finer paper, its 1856 pages are packed
with invaluable information on
storms, astronomy and meteoroloEy.
1t is Illustrated with nearly 200
finest half tones and other en-
cravings. This superb book would
sell anywhere for fifty cents, but it
costs ONLY 25c copy, and every
subscriber to Rev. Irl R. Hicks now
famous paper, WORD AND Works, at
$1.C0 a year, receives this elegant
Almanac as, premium. WORD AND
WORKS is a recognized leader among
the best family and scientific jour
mails, while nothing os its kind can
compare with with the Hicks AL
manac. One dollar a year is a
mammal price for such unique and
useful publications. Prof. Hicks
has justly, and of necessity, with
drawn his storm and weather fore
casts from all free almanaCs, having
generously given his time and labor
free for nearly twenty years. Word
