Sued for $4,000.

The village OF Mortified is sued IN the
sum of $4,000 The writ was served on
Village Clerk j. H. Talb ,t, December 8,by
Sheriff John L. futile of Montpelier and
alleges that by reason of the defendant vii
lagos negligence, carelessness and unskill-
fulnes,, Arson H Sebbins wa, lied on
the 12th day of February, 1900, by means
OF current of electricity. The case is
taken up by Edward L Glynn of Berlin,
administrator. FIR the benefit of the mother
of Arson H. St bbins, Mrs. Carrie H.
Stebbin,.
Ga the night of the 18th day of Febru-
airy, Anscn HI. Stebbins, young man
about 81 yeas Ct age. having driven into
his BAN was prompt TO examine the
foot of bis horse. That he might the bet
ter see the foot he grasped an electric
lamp which was suspended by cord; with
the other hand he touched the wet foot OF
the horse and Immediately dropped, having
died irs an ly it is suppo ed. DR. j. H.
Winch was called and gave ele :tricity as
the cause of death on his certificate.
@Thtrs was theory advanced at that
time that death might have been caused by
a ground current. The weather was damp
and it was suggested that the drlppings
from main feed wire might have in some
way charged considerable volume Of
water, thereby causing ground current
which was harmless until Mr.. Stebbins
touched the foot CT the horse, completing
the circuit.

Safe.

The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care of the faithful dog.
But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love can guard child from
those invisible foes that Turk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease.
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, lassitude and listlessness in a
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found an invaluable medi-
cine for children. It's purely vegetable
character and absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics commend it to
every thoughtful person. 1t is pleasant
to the taste, unlike the foul oils and
their ernulsions offered for childFen's
use. vGolden Medical Discovery" makes
pure blood and sound flesh, and abso-
1utely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.

Chitral is at present the apex Of the

1t is the British Indian wedge driven
and forced up into the heart of the
Asian continent to meet and check
the apexes of the other great imperial
wedges driven down in the opposite
direction. When the ameer Of Afghan
istan prepared to seize both Chitral
and Jandol, some time ago, and Russia
was considered as ready in turn to
seize them all, Downing street put its
thinking cap on and woke up to the
gravity Of the Indian situation. A
British force was dispatched to Chitral
to constitute a permanent garrison
there and to keep the throne of the
reigning sovereign secure. A military
road was opened up from Peshawar
and a subsidy was settled on the meh-
tar, thus making him vassal of the

Russia watched all these moves I'M
easily. She realized that an open from
tier clash would be unwise and so re-
sorted to her usual willy Slav diplo-
macy. She assumed an attitude of in
jIred innocence and proclaimed that
the presence Of any stray officers who
might be found in disputed territory
should be looked upon as merely an
excursion on the part of any such Off
Ger for the sake of his health. But
the white bear waited Now that Eng
