Henderson Grimett Of this place was
stricken with partial paralysis and
completely lost the use Of one arm ana
side. After being treated by an emil
nent physician for quite a while with
out relief, my wife recommended
Chamberlain Pain Balm, and after
using two bottles of it, he is almost
entirely cured.-George R. Mcdonald.
Man, Logan County, W. Va. Several
other very remarkable cures of partial
paralysis have been effected by the
use Of this liniment. 1t is most widely
known, however, as a cure for rh Gu
m&tism, sprains and bruises. Sold by
all druggists.

Matters in police circles were quiet
Wednesday, only six arrests for drunk
enness being made. Most of these were
in the early hours and were due to an
ticipation of the festival day. One case
of non-support will also be disposed Of
at court Thursday.
There was a slight family jar in a
house on Blossom Street, Tuesday
evening. and as result one of the in
mates claimed to have received a Sc
we're jar in the shape of several we'll
directed blows in the face. His coat
and hat We're also minus, and taken
together with a slight inebriation, his
condition may be said to have been
ripe for trouble. No arrests were
made in the case and the alleged as
sailants explained matters satisfactory
to those concerned.
The slight snow fall Wednesday
was enough to spoil several skating
parties arranged Off the day. There
We're quite number however at
Whalom satised to glide over a little
snow rather than lose all the fun.
The fact that Worcester has an
other case of smallpox has set people
here to wondering i fthere will be an
other outbreak in this vicinity similar
to that of last winter. There are no
signs thus far and the hope is that the
effective treatment of the cases last
year under the direction of the board
of health had the effect of stamping it
out entirely.
Charles Divoll of North Leominster
was the victim of an electric car ac-
cident near the Fitchburg line Tuesday
evening. He was driving and it is
claimed he drove in front of the car.
He was not much injured and was re-
moved to his home in a carriage pro-
vided for him by the electric company.

FITCHBURG OFFICIALS TO
BE INAUGURATED SOON

Fitchburg, Dec 25.-One week from
Monday comes the Inauguration of the
city government elect and at that time
there will have to be paid some anti
election promises in the shape of ap-
pointments, etc The principal con-
test will be over d choice of president of
the common council city physician,
and street commissioner. In the former
case there are three candidates who
claim an election now, and two others
who are in the field and are willing to
stand up and be knocked down.
Three of the aspirants are from Ward
four John Leiper, G. X. Hudson and
DIR. w. H. Bennett. The former is a
two year man and the other two will
commence their first terms of service
N. M. DesChenes of Ward two. third
year man is out in earnest and wants
the position badly, claiming he is en-
titled to it by right of possession, so to
speak, being the oldest man in the
council. In the cases of Leiper and Ben
nett, both claim enough to elect and
while neither is making an open hustle
a. quiet game is being played and tricks
will count on the day in question.
Mr. Hudson of Ward four has really
the poorest chance of any, and 1T would
not be a bad thing for him in light of
certain events, and the fact that he
might want something another year, to
withdraw in favor of one of his other
colleagues having the most following.
This would simplify matters not lit
tie and be well for him at the same
time. 1t is understood that promises
of appointments to desirable commit
tees is the best ammunition that can be
and is being used in the fight. May
the best man win.

TWO PATRIOTS TALK
PRESIDENT KRUGER INTERVIEW
ED BY WILLIAM REDMOND.
HIS PEOPLE NOT FRIGHTENED.
PRoCLAMATIONS ONLY ENCOURAGE
THEM TO FURTHER ACTION.

Expresses Conviction That in Full
the BOers-''I Know Great Britain's
Promises-YOu in Ireland Ought
Also to Know Them" He Said.
Nothing Settled as TO His Visit 10
the United States.
London, Aug. 1S.-The Freeman's
Journal of Dublin publishes an inter-
view between Mr.. Kruger and William
Redmond in Hilversum, Holland, in
the course of which the former, ex-
pressing gratitude for Irish support,
said he regarded the Irish as brothers
in oppression" and urged the National
ist members of the British Parliament
to continue their efforts in the cause
of justice and truth
When asked concerning the effect of
Lord Kitchener's recent proclamation,
Kruger replied:
my people are not to be frightened
by such proclamations or speeches,
which will only encourage them to
continue fighting.
THE British have used armed ma
tives against the burghers from the
beginning, but we have not used
armed Kaffirs. 1t has always been
against our principles to use the black
men against the white"
Mr.. Kruger emphatically denied the
existence of a Dutch conspiracy
against British influence in South
Africa.
When asked regarding Great Brit
aims promises as to treatment of the
Beers, after surrender, he said:
Il know Great Britain's promises.
You in Ireland ought also to know
them. The British promise to lend us
money to put things right. Then, if it
were not repaid, our land would be
taken. They ask us to allow rope to
be put around our necks and to call
that freedom. Whe would be slaves"
After expressing his firm conviction
that God, in good time, would give the
Beers deliverance, he remarked:
Even now we could rebuild our
country, but to do so we must have full
independence"
He emphasized the word full" When
asked about farm burning and the con-
centration camps, he exclaimed
why do they fight women and chill
dren? There-are our own men to fight
against. / do not believe the British
people know what is being done in their
name. If they did know they would
stop it,
Mr.. Kruger said nothing had been
settled on the subject of a visit to the
United States. According to Mr.. Red
mond, his appearance bellies the report
that he is breaking down either men
tally or physically.

KILLED BY MOSQUITO

From n Very Bad Case of the Dis
ease-Experiments of DIR. CaIdas

ma Claim He Is American Peoples
Choice for Cuban President.
Havana. Aug 1S.-Chief Surgeon Ha-
ward announced to-day that the exper-
iments in the investigation of the prop
agation of yellow fever, so far as these
involved the mosquito test, will be
discontinued. This decision was taken
because one of the nom immunes who
was recently bitten by an infested mos
quito died of yellow fever to-day. The
man was a Spaniard, desired to become
an immune and, therefore, allowed him
self to be bitten by an infected mos
quito. Another man who was bitten is
also suffering from a very bad case.
Both were bitten by insects which
had been set apart for the experiments
of DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian expert, who
has been arranging to demonstrate the
alleged efficiency of a serum as a pre-
ventive of yellow fever.
According to Maj. Havard the cases
due to mosquito infection, prior to the
latest two, were light; but the matter
has assumed a more dangerous form
than the first experiments led the yell
low fever commission to expect. The
experiments of DR.. Caldas have not
begun.
Claim He Is Americas Candidate.
''The supporters of Estrada Palma
are propagating the idea" says the
Realidad, that he is the American
governments candidate for the presi-
dency of Cuba and the only man who
will be accepted by the United States.
But there is no evidence to support this
contention. All the Americans want is
a man who accepts the Platt amend
ment."

THE IOWA DELAYED.
BnttIeship Did Not Sail Yesterday
for Isthmus-LittIe News of Inter-
est Concerning COIombia-Vene-
xueIa Trouble.


xueIa Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-Capt. Perry
of the battleship Iowa, now at San
Francisco. has telegraphed to the
Navy Department an acknowledgment
of his instructions to proceed to the
west coast of Panama in connection
with the revolutionary troubles. but
reports that the hoilers and some
parts of the vessel need immediate at
tention. 1t is hoped by the Navy De-
partment, however, that she will be
able to sail some time tomorrow.
There was a dearth of others news
bearing on the Colombian-V Venezuelan
trouble. Secretary Hay received no
dispatches bearing upon the subject.
The Colombian and Venezuelan lega-
tions were similarly without advices.
The most interesting development
was the news contained in a press dis
patch from Quito that Ecuadorian
troops were ready to invade Colombia
and that a battle was imminent near
Paste. Mr.. Silva, the Colombian min
lister, while without advices from his
government, expressed the belief that
this new expedition was a part of the
revolutionary movement. and that 1t
was in no sense organized by the Ecu
adorian government. He said that
many years ago there had been friction
between the two governments, but that
in recent years no important contro-
versial issues had been raised between
them. Minister Silva is in receipt of
letter from Emilano Isaza, the Colom-
bian minister at Quito, referring to the
cordial treatment he had received from
"a Ernn6n- and the
tesies generally extended him in
his journey through that country.
Minister Silva consequently is of the
opinion that the new movement is in
connection with the internal revolution
in Colombia unless something unfore-
seen has occurred of which he has not
been advised. Many Colombian revolu
tionists have acquired arms and other
equipment from people in Ecuador
and started expeditions. three of these
having been organized last year, most
ly composed of Colombians aided by
the sympathies and resources of some
OF the Ecuadorians. All these expedi-
tions have failed. Mr.. Silva said to-
night that the government of Ecuador
always had protested that it had made
the utmost effort to observe the neu-
trality laws and sought to prevent these
invasions.
Paste, where a battle is reported
imminent, is in the department of
Cauca, where the population is dense
and credited with a warlike spirit. The
region is very mountainous and there
are some passes across which only a
well trained expedition could go. The
Rio Mayo, a wide river, also offers an
obstacle to invasion. 1t was here, dur
ing the war for independence, that Gen.
Bolivar and Gen. Suere, with all the
resources at their command had their
forces detained for long period by the
people of the province.
