SUICIDE AT NORTHFIELD.

Northfeld, Sept. 17.-This town re-
ecived shock today by the news
that Daniel B. Wooster, aged sixty
five years and a highly esteemed resi-
dent, had suicide d by hanging, at
his home on Union street.
Mr.. Wooster came here to reside,
from Marshfield, about twenty five
years ago. He is brother of Wooster
Brothers, merchants of Marshfield,
and one time represented that town
in the Legislature.
Since residing in Mortified, Mr.
Wooster has been engaged in the man
ufacture of patent medicines and
creamery appliances, and has had
considerable litigation in regard to
the latter with the Vermont Farm
Machine Company.
Mr. Wooster has been in i'll health
for about year, but of late has APP
peared to be much improved, so that
on Tuesday his wife went to Barre to
visit relatives. He was last seen late
Tuesday afternoon and was found
hanging dead in the attic of his
home by Mrs. Charles Davis, his only
child, about nine O'Clock this morn
ing.
1t is believed that illness and bust.
ness troubles caused a temporary de-
rangement in which Mr.. Wooster
committed this rash deed.

NERVY PROCEEDING.

Shortly after three clock Thursday
afternoon James Leno of Middlesex,
somewhat under the influence of liquor
appropriated horse and wagon from
Haymarket Square belonging to Mrs.
James Emerson who resides about
two miles from this city on the road
to North Montpelier.
Chief of Police Reagan was notified
and set an investigation afoot immed-
lately. Leno was reported as max
ing toward Mortified and a telephone
message was sent to that place to look
out for the man. Chief of Police
Hutchinson of that place reached this
city at 6 80 in the evening with Leno
having found him driving at a furi-
Gus rate near Mortified. After Leno
was taken to Jail he pleaded to be
allowed to go and said he had wife
and six weeks old baby at his home
near Middlesex. Investigation showed
this to be true but it also revealed the
fact that he did not live with or sup
port his family.

THE HARD LOT OF THE HORSE.

A merciful man is merciful to his
beast" the Good Book tells us. When
he is cruel to the beast, while the
beast suffers, the man also suffers.
He.gashes and blackens his own char
acter with every act of cruelty that
he commits toward dumb animal.
The horse, the most useful of all ami
mails, is the one marked for the most
of this ill-treatment For the most
part housed in ill-lighted, ill-venti.
lated, and smelling quarters, work
ed to its full capacity, cared for only
to the degree that selfish interest
prompts, the animal is delivered over
rs the unprotected object of the unre-
strained passions CT man. The average
man fails apparently to understand
that animals have a nervous system,
among them in marked degree the
horse, and that were he to govern his
own temper he could with a little
patience get control of the horses
nervous system and make out of 1t
a servant vastly more efficient than
he is under the system in which he
beats and jerks and drives it to dis
traction.
A short walk to any city will dis
cover many blind horses Why?
There are no blind COWS, comparative
". And the sight of one is natural
ly as good as the other. The differ
ence is simply that the horse from the
beginning has been abused, ill-housed,
overworked and worked under condi-
tions that have driven him blind. Its
ewes are shut in by binders at each
side, for which there is no use but
to satisfy the caprice of fashion of
man. So its vision is interfered with
and deprived of air, the wonder is
that with the other treatment it gets
it is not blind oftener. Besides this
in other cases, its neck is almost pull
ed out of joint by overhead check
reins that raise its face to the air and
turn it's eyeballs to the glare of the
sun unprotected Or, on the other
hand deprived of check rein it is Bit
ted with curb that pulls its jaw to
its breast and fortunes it in this fash
ion. And then, according to the pres
ent fashion of the day, it is subjected
to the most cruel of all practices,
docking, which not merely tortures in
the practice but leaves it to the tor
ment of flies for the remainder of its
life. If it is the merciful man that
is merciful to his beast and if it is
the merciful that obtain mercy, we
have, as people, some way to come
before we get that blessing, Indian
apolis News.

GOES TO COURT.

Louisville, KY, Sept, 17.-Attor-
ney General Pratt filed suit Tuesday
for an injunction to prevent the con-
test between Terry McGovern and
Young" Corbett, scheduled to take
place before the Southern Athletic
club in this city, September 20, from
being held.
1t is expected that a decision will
be given by Judge Field Thursday in
order that the status of the contest
may be determined at once. Should
the decision be against the match,
the fighters attorneys say the case
will be taken at once to the court of
appeals and will be pushed through
in ample time for the contest.
The petition states that both Terry
McGovern and Young Corbett are
professional prize fighters and that in
the fight each contestant will exert
his utmost efforts to disable his OPP
ponent. The petition further de-
clares that the proposed contest is
merely a postponement of the fight
arranged to take place before the
Nutmeg Athletic club in Hartford,
Conn, whore an agreement was made
to split the purse, 60 per cent to the
| winner and 40 per cent to the loser.

sheep and lambs than scab and all
other diseases combined. In wet
season like the present the losses from
these two causes alone run up into
millions of dollars. And yet sim
pie and comparatively inexpensive
remedy for these fatal diseases is with
in the reach of every flock owner. That
remedy is toxaline, the careful use of
which has not in a single instance
failed to cure when administered in
season. 1t seems incredible that
flock masters should see scores and
even hundreds of their ewes and
lambs go to destruction for want of a
saving remedy so cheap and easily OBJ
tanned. Stomach worms cannot resist
the subtle influence of this volatile
fluid, which goes almost instantly to
the seat of their work in the fourth
stomach and suffocates the deadly-par-
asites with unerring quickness and
dispatch. We have so many times
published testimonials to the value
and effects of this simple remedy that
no one who keeps sheep should be
without knowledge of its curative
powers. Farmers Guide.
The manure is no inconsiderable
item OH a poultry farm if it is prop
erly cared for. Walter H. Perry of
Sullivan county, N. H., successful
poultryman, who has kept 200 hens,
SAYS the manure for the year will
pay for the cost of marketing poultry
and eggs, and he does considerable
advertising, too.

Saratoga, Sept 19.-The striking

DIPHTHERIA SENSATION.

DR.. William Lindsay, city health Off
GER, said Thursday that cases of diph-
liberia in town were getting on finely /;
it had been week since the exposure
of others the two grades in st.
Michael's school, which these pupils
attended, were closed and those expos
ed have been kept under close sur
veillance.
In view of these circumstances the
health officer does not expect any
serious results, or spreading of the
disease. AS soon as diphtheria was
found present, the patients were
placed in the closest quarantine and
those in their neighborhood warned OF
the danger at once.
The officer is disguised with the
judgment of a reporter for another
local paper, who, after being request
ed not to alarm the people unneoessa-
rily, published very ridiculous and
sensational story regarding the matter
He jumped to the conclusion that, be-
cause the health officer was making
his periodical examination OF the
drinking water of the city, he was
doing this to discover diphtheria
germs. This was absurd, because il
is known that diphtheria is not de
rived from water but from contagion

SHOT TWO MEN.

Essex, Conn, Sept. 18.-David
Hayden, a veteran of the civil War,
shot and probably fatally wounded
two of the most prominent citizens of
Essex yesterday afternoon and when
the authoritis were about to capture
him blew the top of his head off with
a shot gun.
Hayden stopped Judge Coulter on
the street and asked if the judge had
a grudge against him. Coulter laugh
ingly replied no, whereupon Hayden
drew revolver and fired twice. One
bullet entered directly below the
heart, and another in the side. Coul-
ter attempted to disarm the man and
in the struggle the revolver was dis
charged and third bullet entered
Coulter's head He succeeded in get
ting the revolver, however, and Hay
den fled. Selectman Pratt who was
a witness gave chase but Hayden
reached his house before he could be
overtaken and securing shotgun
shot his pursuer just over the heart a
he entered the yard. A moment later
the report of gun was heard and
the crowd which had gathered, run
ming into the yard, found Hayden
dead with the gun beside him.
Hayden was dishonorably discharg-
ed from the navy in 1861 and has tried
repeatedly to get pension. He has
always been refsued and blamed any
one who refused to take up his case.
This is the only reason that can be
advanced for the shooting.

A HUSBANDS ADVICE.
AND THE SATISFACTORY RESULTS TO
WHICH IT LED.
The Story as Mrs. Cooper Told IL to "A Re-
porter After Her Recovery.

1T all came about by the advice of
my husband, said Mrs. Sadie Cooper
of No. 320 Main Street, Auburn, Me,
to reporter.
Il suffered intensely with infam-
nation of the stomach for four
months" she continued. II had
naturally weak stomach and in De-
cember 1897, it began to trouble me
more than usual. | could not bear the
least pressure on it without feeling a
terrible faintness, and l had so much
gas in it that it caused pains to go all
through the upper part of my body.
When / got up quickly my head would
feel so dizzy that | would have to lie
down again and then rise gradually.
There was poor circulation of the
blood and for days at a time l was
obliged to lie down nearly all the
while. l was under the doctors care
for about four weeks. l felt slightly
better Just while taking his medicine,
but it left no lasting benefit.
My husband, who had taken them
himself with good results, at last in
duced me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. So in January
1898, l began taking them and in two
weeks l was able to notice a decided
gain. | kept on taking them for three
months when had entirely recover
ed. l am glad to say that l have
never suffered with the trouble
since.
The pills which cured Mrs. Cooper
are an unfailing specific for all dis
eases arising from disorders of the
blood and nerves Among the many
diseases they have cured are locomo-
tor ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Nitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache the after
effects of the grip, palpitati2n of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations
and all forms of weakness either in
