With the proceeds of his crime he
FOUNDED and endowed cripples' home
In Rome, cleared OFF the debts of
three children's hospitals. and insti-
tuted homes for waits in many OF
the principal Italian cities. though he
iived In a dilapidnted cottage and al
most denied himself the bare necessi-
ties OF life. When eventually the bub-
bic burst he was sentenced to lifelong
imprisonment. but so popular had he
become with the masses that frantic
crowds cheered him as he was led
from the courts. After fifteen years
spent in dungeon he was pardoned.

SIX years ago the cause developed
into rather bad case of kidney COM

caused actual suffering day and
night, and the harder l tried to get
rid OF 1t the worse II became.
When the attacks were in the acute
stage 1t was difficult to sit down, and
when down It was Just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys. I

EAST BARRE.

The officers of John A. Logan U. V. u,
were installed last Friday evening. The
installation was public and was well at
tended by members and friends of the or
der. The members of the Ladies' Relief
Corps were in attendance and made the
evening pleasant by their genial presence.
The officers of the Post were installed by
Past Commander G. p. Jones of Barre
city, assisted by the very efficient help of
George w. Wise, commander and chief,
and are as follows Colonel, Levi Sar-
gent; Northumberland, C.. p. Jones;
quartermaster, j.. E. Rollins adjutant,
George w. Wise; chaplain, l.. /. Cheney;
officers of the day, G. NJ. Cochran Off
GER of the guard, L. w. Bates; sentinel,
w. f. Patterson. After the business of
the evening was finished some very inter-
esting remarks were made by most of the
newly-installed officers, making a determi-
nation to make the year of their service
one of great interest and honor to them
selves by the assistance of the other com
rades. After this refreshments were
served in a bountiful way by the Relief
Corps. Owing to the sickness of the in
sailing officer of the Ladies' Relief Corps,
Mrs. George Lapoint, they were not in

prevents, will be at the next regular meet

of the public. Paine's celery COM
pound is not in any way a patent med
icine. 1t is so superior to all the So
called remedies that no serious COM
parison can be made between them.
The formula of Paine's celery com
pound has been freely furnished from
the first to reputable physicians every
where, and the thousands of anthem
ticated cases that are reported yearly
by physicians of every school have
proved beyond question hat in very
case of dyspepsia, biliousness, liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, or
other diseases, that imply impaired
nerves, Paine's celery compound in
variably gives lasting relief.
1t succeeds again and again in COM
pletely curing diseases where every
thing else has failed. 1t is the only
prepared remedy in the world that is
openly and publicly endorsed by medi-
cal journals. A single trial of Paine's
celery compound will convince anyone
that it accomplishes in every case all
that it is claimed to do.
