Rome. The debate in the chamber
of deputies on the conflict at Ferarra,
June 81, between agricultural strikers
and soldiers, some of the former be-
ing killed, became so heated that the
president was obliged to suspend the
sitting.
Signor Gioletti, the miniser of the
interior replying to an Interpolation
on the subject said he regretted the
incident which was due to the intro
duction of foreign labor for harvest
ing. The government advised foreign
labor. but when the advice was not
needed it was obliged to safeguard
the liberty of work. The strikers at

who has for nineteen years been con-

| in receipt, or intended receipt, OF
considerable sum of money from the
same nation. 1t Is because the man
fought In the great war that the com
plication was made possible. At least,
his services in battle were responsible
in part for the situation. 1t once &C.
Cured to the same man that after Aay-

and unification it might be the grace
full thing for the country to recognize
his worth by monetary consideration,
SO he put In an application for pen
sion. 1t was allowed. and the mans
name was written on the book OF fame,
after which he was entitled to dollars
Shortly following this period another
man passed on to the great beyond,
under circumstances which the coro-
ner's jury considered called for tina
trying of somebody on a capital punish
ment charge. 1t so happened that the
pensioner was the person fixed upon
as the active agent assisting th2
earthly exit of the deceased. Although
the pensioner stoutly maintained his
innocence, the proof was so strong as
to lead the jury to a verdict OF guilty
and the committing judge to SEN
tcnce of life Imprisonment. This was
In the year 1880, and for nineteen
years the prisoner worked out his des-
tiny behind the bars. At the conclu
sion of this time the man who had
committed the murder .ook to his las,
bed, and it occurred to him to make q
confession. So the pensioner is free
now. But he still has troubles. There
are some thousands of dollars in pen
sion money which the wardens have
failed to turn over to him, and he IS
obliged to sue for their recovery. Be
sides, there are the wasted nineteen
years, because OF the implicit judicial
faith In the infalib!llty of circumstan-

citizens lave banded themselves to-

breakers and maintain the law. A
number of citizens have received
notices threatening their lives, among
them John NJ. Bowman, one of tn
leading men in this section. Two
communications have been received
by him, both OF which were laid be-
fore his neighbors. AS result, the
citizens held meeting, pledged them
selves to protect Mr.. Bowman and
condemned the threatened lawlessness
in unmeasured terms. These resolu-
tions, which are very determined in
tone, were sent by the committee
signing them to the county papers for
publication, SO that they might pos
,ibly catch the eye Of the miscreauts
and assure them that their praotic es
would never be tolerated.

A MODERN

People may talk of going to New
York, Boston, or even the Old World
to consult some talented physician in
regard to their hopeless cases, and
when they have paid out hundreds Of
dollars, and even all they have, al l
did. and begin to prepare for that
dread monster "death," just stop and
read Of our great doctor in Barre, VT,
and take courage. Don't think he is
like some quack, for he is not, and
when you read Of the wonderful cure
Of one of your W townspeople, you
must think there is no fraud in the
doctor but a God given talent for the
benefit OF humanity.
1t happened in this way: Some Is
years ago while out berrying my wife
drank from a spring and thought she
swallowed some small thing, but it
soon passed by and sine thought no
more Of 1t. But the time came when
she thought there was something
alive ia her stomach. We have tried
many doctors for relief, bat they said
IL could Lot be, for the gastric juices
OF the stomach would kill anything of
that nature. some said she had ag.
gravated dyspepsia, some said kidney
trouble, some said consumption, and
one OF them said tuberculosis, but
they did no good, so commenced using
patent medicine.
She took everything in the market
with the same result and then made
reauy f.r death. About that time,
God III his great mercy and kindness
sent DR.. Morrow to our town. You
may be sure that it WAS with mnch
distrust that we consulted him. When
we had talked with HIM he gave US
some encouragement to try again
and you may be- sure we will ever
bless the day we called on him. The
doctor gave her a tonic to give her
strength to 60 through the operation
and in 10 days more gave her the poi
son and in three days mole she passed
a lizard niue inches long SO decompos-
ed 1t came in three pieces Now she
can eat well, sleep we'll and work
we'll.
So now she says: "Why l hardly
know mystl If l feel SO much different"
So she is loud in praise Of Or. Morrow
and God who gave him the talent and
sent him to Barre. Hoping thousands
OF sufferers may read this and be led
to consult the gifted physician with as
good r,sultS as We did Is the wish II a
grateful friend.
