Austrian poets who are fond OF sing
ing the praises of 'the beautiful blue
Danube" were recently very much sur.
prised and disappointed to hear of the
Investigations of a certain German sci
enlist. This man watched the big river

an hour every morning. The result Oh
these observations was that he found
the water to be brown II times; yellow

green 25. greenish gray &c. other shades
of green 40. and that it never had
anything like the hue with which it is
credited by the bards

ing a most remarkable cure of severe
case of Kidney Disease in this county.
Mr.. Byron o. Leslie of Northport has
for years been victim of kidney de-

experienced would not last. Now.

good health ne has concluded that he
is permanently cured and his an

found sensation among the physicians
and the people v knew Of his appar.

(BensOn's PIastor Ia paIn, Masiarl

In the days of wild cat money In the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty wears.
The very name Of Oliver Ames & Son, was
synonym for honesty. It was current ali
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is "good" plaster does
not describe it &c is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as a matter Of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n } good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago.
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Bensons. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy In which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a

We had thought that after the lesson of
the past year the state would be ready
to insist on something broader and deeper
and better to fill the most easterly chair
at the statehouse. Indeed there is yet
hope for in refreshing contrast to the
candidacy of Baldwin of Barton, is that
of Hon. f. NJ. Bartlett of Island Pond, a
clear-headed, bright and successful young
business man who has not been a per-

Ripton Died from Excessive Drink
ina of "Beef, Iron and Wine"

Carlton Guptill died at Ripton Monday
night under mysterious circumstances.
Drs. Powers and Stafford are agreed
that death resulted from administration
of a powerful drug. The former thinks
arsenic was used and the latter calls the
poison strychnine. DR.. Powers notified
the selectmen, who will have an inves-
tigation made. 1t is reported that Guptill
had been in a slightly intoxicated con-
dition several days before his death.
Later reports state that Gupull died
from the effects of excessive drinking or
a beef, iron and wine preparation. He
attended a dance at Ripton Wednesday
evening of last week with three COM
panions. John Race, Luther Kline ana
Harley Dow. He had been under the
influence of liquor several days and at
the dance all of the men drank treely

and wine was consumed by the tour Is
not known. but "a empty pint bottles
were found in the hall after the dance
