peparture Of a WlIminaton Landlord.

Floyd S. Crafts, proprietor of the YER
mont House, left town Saturday night
under very peculiar circumstances, with
out saying anything about his plans to
his wife or friends. He drew out what
money there was to the credit of his ac-
count at the bank and sometime after
10 o'clock p, m, harnessed up a span OF
horses and drove away, leaving a letter
behind explaining that conditions at the
hotel were not satisfactory to him and
that he had decided 10 leave. OF course
there have been conflicting rumors
afioat most of which are probably
groundless. From the best information
which we are able to obtain, 1t appears
that Mr. Crafts did not take away any
more property than could, under a lib
eral Interpretation of the situation, be
regarded as his due, and no second per-
son-male or female-was acquainted
with his plans. His way of leaving was
undoubtedly foolish and boyish, but
since 1t appears that he has not wronged
anyone outside of his own family, the
public viii do we'll to suspend judgment
until the facts in the case are known
No one will deny that he had legal right
to leave the place without consulting
anyone, even though such a course was
unwise.-[Wilmington Times.

Policeman f. r. Thaver arrested a
straggler Wednesday night who gave
his name as Tom Ellis and who was in
such state of inebriety that it was
almost impossible for him to navigate

fed Mr., Thayer followed after the
man, but at first was not able to find
him. He then secured a lantern and
he and Chief Hall began another
search. finding Ellis lying on the
ground close up to the church He
was lifted and carried to the lookup

braced up and said: Look out now,
I'm going to fight" He was arraign-

morning, pleaded guilty, and was fined
IS and costs, amounting to $10.41.
He said he was employed as a brick
mason on the Brattleboro Retreat and
that more than enough money was
due him to pay his fine. Judge New
ton directed Chief Hall to telephone to
the Retreat in regard to the matter,
when Ellis spoke up saying: Hold on,
you needn't telephone, that's my bust
ness" "All right" said Judge New

you up to Newfane jail for 90 days"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Close Of the Foot Ball Season.

There will probably be no foot ball
game on the island Saturday as had been
planned, as the eleven will probably dis
band before then. The season has been
very successful and is ended with money
I'm the treasury. The team has played
four scheduled games. besides the contest
with Durham Brothers clerks. which
was not on the schedule. Brattleboro
High school in these five games. of which
three have been victories and two defeats
has scored a total of 80 points to their OPP
ponents' Sc. In only one game. that with
the strong local team. has the eleven
failed to score. From the six touchdowns
three goals have been kicked. Frost Sc
cured three of the touchdowns, Barber
two, and Willard one.
No man has been really injured, and in
no case has a man been Obliged TO with
draw from a game. More distance has
probably been made through the line
than in any other way. and such has
been the all-round team work, and
ground gaining ability of the backs that
the team has not been forced to punt this
year. The players have given good ex-
hibitions of clean foot ball, no penalties
having been inflicted for smuggling or
rough play of any kind. and compare
lively few for off-side play and similar
transgressions of the rules. The school
has been fortunate in being presented
several new suits, a foot ball and few
nose guards. Such a season as the pres
ent one ought to increase the popularity

SURPRISE AT BELLOWS FALLS.
5rattIeboro High School Beaten 1o-5-
Bunder Which Cost a Touchdown.

The fallacy of figuring on results of
foot ball game with the previous
scores of the combatants as a criter-
ion had another demonstration Satur-
day. when Brattleboro High school
went down before Bellows Falls High
school 1915 at Russell park, in Bellows
Falls. Bellows Falls had been beaten
400 by Keene High school and Brat
tleboro had won from Keene 6-5, so
that an easy victory for Brattleboro
was indicated. The game was lost on
a fuke, due to a lack Of knowledge
of rules on the part of the Brattleboro
players. When Bellows Falls kicked
off in the second half the ball rolled
behind the Brattleboro goal line
One of the Brattleboro players, think
ing the ball must be taken back for
another kick directed his companions
to let it alone. The Bellows Falls
team was on side, however, and when
Northrup ran down the field and fell
upon the ball he scored a touchdown.
Brattleboro played desperately to
overcome this lead and in the last
half had the ball only three yards
from the Bellows Falls line when time
was called. Bellows Falls scored in
the first half. working the tackles
back formation for good gains, par
ticuIarly by Capron, who finally
plunged over the line. Brattleboro
did some good line bucking in the
second half, and when the bali was
within IS yards Of the line Willard
skirted the end for a touchdown.
Both sides failed at kicking goal so
that the score was all even until the
fatal blunder took place. After this
Brattleboro worked the ball to the
opponents five yard line. Here
Bellows Falls was penalzed for off
side play. The regular penalty would
have given Brattleboro a touchdown,
so the ball was placed on the three
yard line, but at that momoent time
was called and it was all over but
the shouting by the Bellows Falls
supporters. The short field and it's
poor condition bothered the Brattle-

From the Post, Columbia CGty, Ind
The every day drudgery of the house
wife is extremely wearing upon her
sensitive and frail nature.
Many are prematurely broken down
in health. their cherished hopes blasted.
their home-life unhappy. because of
the constant care and worry of house
work.
That home is indeed fortunate in
which the wife is in perfect health and
able to do her own work, in fact such
home is rarity.
Mrs. George Heaton, who lives near
Columbia City, Ind, says:
During the early part of the winter
of 1896 we had a great deal of sick
ness in the family, and it being impos
sible to find a suitable girl to do my

were confined to their beds with the

BY this time my daughter had recov-
cred sufficiently to get along very we'll
with the homework.
Zone night my husband was gone
from home over night on business, and.
my daughter being overburdened with
work, / concluded to milk the COWS,
which / did much against her wishes.
My limbs were SO badly affected that
could hardly get to the barnysrd, and
my hands and fingers were in such q
condition that it was with great diff
Guilty that l used them.
81 was worse than ever after this,
and / was confined to my bed for more
than ten weeks.
at seemed that every muscle in my
body panied me, and my condition was
critical one. The physician failed to
benefit me, and l became discouraged.

which did with wonderful results.
They began helping me at once, and
when l had taken five boxes l was
