THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
The Republican Rally Monday.

Hon. Frank Plumley of Mortified,
who is one of the brightest lawyers
and best speakers in the state, ad-
dressed the voters of Putney in the
town hall Monday evening in his us
nal mastery way. There was a very
large audience, and those who were
not touched" by what he said con
sidered his address as an uncontrover-
tible exposition of the principles of
the straight Republican party in Ver-
mont. He exposed the insincerity
of p. w. Clement, backing up his
statements by references to state doc
uments which are on file in the town
clerks Office and may be seen by
every person. One of his telling
points was his reference to Clements
attitude to the taxpayers, reviewing
Clements action in the legislature
when he reported adversely the bill
to increase the taxes on corporations.
BY this action the Rutland railroad
was saved $4,000 a year and the
Clement family $4,000, which now
comes out of the pockets of the tax
payers. Mr.. Plumley was introduced
by Rev. G. e. Hayward, the new
pastor of the Congregational church.
Music was furnished by Wheeler's

THOSE GNAWING RATS.
A Common and Curious Illusion

81 felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is symptom. Other signs are
heayiness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, Aatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach and bring on acute inhammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life terror. Ask
anybody who has it.

cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DIR.

themselves of the opportunity to visit
childhood scenes and meet their
friends in the oldest and grandest
town of Cheshire county. Speeches
were made by Hon. Hoyt II. Wheeler,
judge of the United States district
court; Gen. Herbert B. Titus, Prof.
BRAGG of Vassar College and Hon.
John Kulke. President w. E. Stone of
Purdue University, Ind, native of
Chesterfield was one of the visitors.
Bonfires were kindled in four different
places. each striving to Guido the
other, but the honors for the grandest
display were conceded to the boys of
the middle of the town. Their dis
play far eclipsed anything that has
ever been shown in town before. We
hope to see the same lively interest
taken another year, and to see many
of our old friends again.
