Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
iliZed world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
10 usness. Doctoas, were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner
vous and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feelin g
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of

The contract for the large steel
water tower to replace the wooden one
burned at st. Joseph's Industrial
School a short time ago, has been
awarded by Rev. NJ. B. Sice. The
tank will stand 1OS feet high and will
be composed entirely of steel. Its ca
pacity will be $4,000 gallons and will
be situated in a court il the rear of
the workshops. Owing to the old sup
ply pipes being only two and one-half
inches in diameter they will have to be
dug up and replaced with four-inch
pipes. This will also require the old
fire plugs to be replaced with larger
ones. These improvements will re-
quire considerable outlay of money
but are necessary IN case of fire. Work
will be commenced in few days and
will be finished before winter weather
sets in. The Town Council of Clay
ton has also agreed to run the town
water mains down Clayton avenue to
the front gates of the school and place
a fire plug there, so that in case of
another confagration the Clayton fire
company may make connections there
with its hose.

an even darker plot behind the one
which was fCiled.

Finegan, they wouldn't have dared

they must have intended to dispose

The case, according to the statement

accused. Yesterday Mrs. Anna Oak

that when she heard Finegan calling
for help she went to the door of the
room and found It locked. She said
she demanded entrance and that the
girl and her companions refused to
open the door until an officer appeared.
Miss Hewett, when seen in the county

She felt sure justice would finally tri-

friends to furnish bail for her in a
