TO RIDE IN SIX STATES.
Reid aud Alexander started from the
Island on Tandem at ~ O'Clouk---E1-
-. a.. m. A., N.xv Iersev Tonight.

H.,d and Alexander started from IN p
Is,snd on Tandem st IL O'CIovE---I5I-
meet 90 he In New Jersey Tonight.
Fred T. Reid and Robert M. Alexande r
Of Hartford, Conn, started shortly after
midnight from the New Hampshire side of
the river opposite Brattleboro to ride in six
states-New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York and New
,Jersey--wthin "a hours. Mr.. Alexander
is the champion road rider Of America for
20 and 20 miles, and has won many lead
ing events. Mr.. Reid, who was formerly
captain of the Vermont Wheel club OF
Brattleboro, has lived in Hartford for the
past IL years, and is widely known as a
long distance rider. He rode from Hart
ford TO New York city and return, $50
miles, unpaced, in about 20 hours. Reid
and Alexander will ride If possible TO
Trenton, N. j., 300 miles, but they will be
satisfied IL they reach some other town In
New Jersey. In order TO touch six states
they will be obliged to ride not less than
240 miles. They attempted the same feat
in October Of last year, but met with three
accidents, the first only a few miles below
Brattleboro, when they smashed rim,
and they were finally compelled 70
give up the game when the frame OF
their tandem was smashed near Nor
walk, Conn, after they had covered over
$50 miles.

Planned TO Rr.nL jail.

The discovery has been made that the
three Greenfield youths who assaulted and
shot Joseph NJ. Houghton last winter
planned TO escape from the county jail at
Newfane during their brief confinement
there while awaiting trial. Sheriff r. Z.
Gordon took the youths to Windsor We'd
nesday of last week and 1t was afterward
found that one Of the iron bars separating
the main hall of the jail from the corridor
had been sawed of. Two men who were
confined in the jail for intoxication said
when questioned that the bar was sawed of
by Mr.. Houghton's assailants, who used q
knife. Where the knife came from or
what disposition was made of 1t they did
not know. By pulling the bar aside an
opening was made large enough to admit a
mans body, and it is evident that the
boys intended to escape into the corridor
and to lie in wait for the iailer, overpow-
ering him as soon as he appeared. Why
the plan was not carried out is not known.
Mr.. Gordon talked with the prisoners on
the way TO Windsor, but they said very
little about their sentences. Welch thought
his sentence was too severe, and he ex-
pressed the belief that he would be par
doned.

typhoid Fever at WILMINGTON,

Ten cases of typhoid fever have origin
ated in Wilmington this fall and with one
exception all of these cases have started
at Mountain Mills. Charles Brown has
been very sick for several weeks and is In
a very critical condition at this writing.
Frank Rice has been very dangerously M
with the scourge but is now better and
able to be around. Philip Quinn, the
checker at the big mill, has been very sick.
Several have been taken to the North Ad-
ans hospital for treatment, one of whom
died there. The local health officer thinks
the water supply at Mountains Mills is
probably responsible for most of these
cases and steps have been taken for ascer-
tanning the cause and removing it. Thus
far there has been but one death and that
occurred at the North Adams hospital.
We have heard of no new cases for week
or Wilmington Times.

Letter to B. Frank Baker,

Dear Sir; AS painter you probably use lead
and oil, and would naturally object to Devoe lead
and zinc. Let us have few words on the sub
iect.
Painters say a good lead and oil job viii last
three years and they say a house ought 70 be
painted once in three years.
We take them to mean that their work is good
for three years, no more and no less, or not
much more and not much less.
Do you want your WORK to last longerY WhAl
do you say to six years. You'd have to have
twice as much work, you know, or you'd be
losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor. You call him
in. Is it better for him to get your child out OF
bed 10 morrow, or keep him sick for month";
You prefer quick doctor. So does everyone
else in your town and county, and state. We
are all alike we all want our doctors quick A
doctor that gets his patients up quick, is the doc
tor that gets the patients-gets rich too, II he
isn't run 70 death.
It's about the same with painter isn't itf Sup
pose you paint Devoe, and your competitor OBJ
jects 10 Dsvoe; your work lasts six years and his
work three. You cost your customers half; he
costs double. Who'll get the business; and who'll
go TO Texasg
Devoe lasts six years-not exactly we know of
ito lasting seventeen-and IL never wears out In
less than three, 80 far as We know. On a windy
sandy seaside house. 1t lasts three years. Lead
and oil lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long as lead
or oil; and it's going to paint your town Do you
want TO be In iti
Yours truly,
F.w. DEvoE & Co.

received ranging from $40 to 10 cents and
the 10 cents and % cents counted up very
fast Let the housekeepers look over their
stores and bring fruit, jelly or pickles and
the farmers wood or vegetables-an thing
that is used or needed In any home is OF
use TO us. The Home particularly needs a
good cook stove. The one now in use
would try the soul of an angel, always as
Stunning that angels use cook stoves and
have baking day Will not some enter
prising man, woman or child start club
to get cook stove for the Home? Don't
forget the date-cOme and see us. You will
have a cordial welcome and pleasant call.

From the naIIf.1 Deer Park.

L. c. Houghton of Sheffield, ILL.,, the
owner of the Halifax deer park, is now at
the park for the first time the present
season. He came last week, accompanied
by his friend, F, Z. Battey of Sheffield,
and will probably remain through next
week. He finds his park venture still
prospecting and estimates the present num-
Der of deer to be at least 200 Twenty
bucks were killed last year for the market,
and from the look of the herd as many
more can be marketed this year. The elk,
at first only three in number, have now in
creased to 10. The angora goats were re-
moved from the park because their pres
ence and increase reduced the feed for the
deer. While at the park Mr.. Houghton
is overseeing the necessary annual repairs
and preparations for winter.
He and his family have spent the past
summer in Winfield in the southeastern
part of Kansas, where Mr.. Houghton has
bought a ranch Of 1900 acres. The ranch
consists of wheat and grazing land excel
lently adapted for wheat and stock grow
ing. His family are pleased with the To-
cation and Mr.. Houghton seriously con
templates going there within year or two
for his permanent residence and TO develop
the property.

GOOD Neyvs for our Read.r.

Who have scrofulA taints in their blood, and whs
has not Scrofula in all its forms is cured BY
Hoods Sarsaparilla which thoroughly purihes
the blood. This disease, which frequently sp-
pears in children, is greatly to be dreaded. 1t is
most likely to affect the glands of the neck which
become enlarged, eruptions appear on the head
and face, and the eyes are frequently affected
upon It's first appearance, perhaps in slight
eruptions or pimples, scrofula should be entirely
erAdicated from the system by thorough course
of Hoods Sarsaparilla to prevent all the painful
and sickening consequences Of running scrofula
sores which drain the system, sap the strength
and make existence utterly wretched.
