DEATH OF L. p. BARRY.

A powerful engine cannot be run with

of an active life with a weak stomach:
neither can we stop the human machine to
make repairs. If the stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to keep the body strong,
such a preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure should be used. 1t digests what Won

Unknown Authors and the Editor

There is a popularimpression," writes
Edward Box, in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal for July, that the editor of a mag
aZine never reads the manuscripts
which are sent to him by unknown
writer's. But suppose the editors of all
the magazines had, say ten years ago,
stopped reading the manuscripts of
writer's of whom they had never heard?
What would have happened? For one
thing, about one third of the writers
who are popular to-day, and whose
works almost everybody reads, would
be unheard of. Nearly everything in
the way of successful essay, poem,
story or novel published during the
past ten or twenty years was first print
ed in one of the several American mag
azines. Now, how could this all be if
the editors had not read manuscripts:
Some time ago had the curiosity to look
over the contents for an entire year OF
five of the popular magazines. From
my knowledge of the names of famous
writer's | recognized less than one halt
of the names in the contents of the
sixty issues of the magazines. | asked
the editors the reason of this, and
found that of all the writer's whose
work they had published during the
previous year, thirty-four per cent. were
authors who never before had written
for the magazines

An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court at Portland June
26, handed down a rescript OF great i'm
portance in this State of many streams
and water powers. 1t was the Andres
coggin county case of the National fiber
board company against the Lewiston &
Auburn electric light company. The
opinion of the court was written by
Judge Emery.
The court said that under the Maine
mill act and subject to its provisions,
the owner of mill and dam can at any
time appropriate for raising and main
tanning head of water for working his
mill so much of the space in the river
valley as has not already been appro-
priated by some other mill owner for
his mill.
Such an appropriation, however, can
not be made effectual by mere procla-
nation, nor by merely marking limits,
nor by mere casual, intermittent and
irregular howage. 1t must be by an
actual occupation of the space by a
head OF pond of water raised by dams
and their appliances actually construct
ed or fitted, of the requisite height and
efficiency to raise such head.
The court awarded damages at $500.

A Theory of the Old school in Medicine.
LOcomOtor Ataxia can be Cured-An Inter-
esting Interview with New Jersey Man
who Succeeded in Freeing Himself from
this Dreadful Addiction.
The busy little village of Branchville, n.
j., has been the scene of a modern miracle.
Charles F. Struble, well known farmer of
that town, was cured of locomOtor ataxia
and rheumatism. To correspondent of
the New York Press he said:
81 was troubled with rheumatism, on and
off, for 20 years and tried all kinds of treat
ment. l took sulphur baths at Newton and
Hamburg, n. j and in New York city with
a doctor who charged me s.. so bath each
day. An English doctor treated me with a
galvanic battery at Rockaway and l also
tried many other doctors none of whom did
of liniments but without avail
"All this. time | was growing worse and
in 1891 the doctor, who was treating me,
said my case had developed into locomotor
ataxia. He gave me no encouragement and,
after attending me FOR while, said he had
done ali he could foT the disease. ' He i, told
me my ailment was incurable
81 suffered horribly. The cords of nv
| limbs were drawn tight as the strings on a
drum and | had such cramps in them that
the pain nearly drove me wild. My feet
| were cold all the time and even with hot
! water bag and heated bricks could not get
any relief.
''Finally l heard of Dr. Williams Pink
| Pills for Pale People and | began taking
| them on Feb. s. 1898 In three DAYS time I
| found that the cords in my legs began to
| 'let up, my feet began to get warm, began
| to eat and sleep well, and in one month |
| had gained six pounds. The numbness in
my limbs gradually wore away and | be-

now, and nine boxes of DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills for Pale People did it. In the eight
years which have passed l have had no re-
turn of my trouble"
les, indeed he said in response to the
! reporters question, 81 am glad to have you
| publish this for | am very grateful for my
| recovery and am sure that Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People would do as
much for any one else who suffers as did. .

Justice of the Peace Ira COsS, before whom
he made affidavit to the facts stated These
will bear the most thorough investigation.
Mr.. Struble took the one unfailing rem
