Death of y. 8. Hackett, Esq.

The funeral of S. S. Hsckett, Esq for
many years located In Detroit 10 the
practice Of law, took place Tuesday
forenoon and was attended by all the
members of the bar living in Pittsfield,
and many others. Mr.. Hackett's death
took place Saturday, and resulted from
the effects of pneumonia.
| The services were held in the village
church under the direction OF L. W.
Clark ESQ. Rev. l.. W. Coons, pastor
of the Universalist church, Pirtsfield,
conducted the services. The bearers
were j. w. Manson, Esq, G. II. Morse,
ESQ.,, Abel Davis, Esq. of Plttsfield and
f. n. Merrill, Esq. of Skowhegan. The
| floral tributes were profuse, the pillow
sent by the members of the Somerset
County bar, being one of the finest set
pieces ever seen at funeral In Detroit.
In the death of Mr.. Hackett, one of
| the ablest lawyers in Somerset county
and OF the state is removed. By this 1t
| Is not intended to convey the impress
ion that Mr.. Hackett was a great man
before a Jury or that he had been prom
! inently connected with any famous
cases where he had distinguished him
self, but that his knowledge OF the law
was of a character recognized by his as
sociates as being so thorough, that his
views were regarded when offered on
any law point as being indisputable.
His opinions were sought by many law
yers on points of law which they per-
haps were not especially clear regard
ing, and 1t has been said that call up
on Mr.. Hackett In the dead hours OF the
night and ask him question OF law, no
matter how complicated, and his reply
would be made instantly and with the
most absolute correctness. He was es-
sentially book.worm. He studied and
read. He enjoyed reading the law and
his mind was a storehouse where 1t
| seemed that whatever he stored away
was always fresh and ready for use
when he had occasion to use 1t. In his
later years he was not over and above
prepossessing In appearance. He took
no pride whatever In his dress, his hair
was more often unkempt than other
Wise and his whiskers untrimmed. He
had a stoop In his shoulders, he was
tall and angular Of form, and wore
| glasses. His gray whiskers gave him
the air of a patriacb, and the most com
mon conclusion that anyone would ar
rive at, who knew nothing of the man,
was far short of the mark. Anyone
could sit down and talk with Mr.. Hack
EFT half hour, when he was 10 tslka-
tive mood and then go away satisfied
that their time had been we'll spent. Mr..
Hackett In later years had not evinced
any desire to make use OF his great
knowledge of the law and convert 1t to
profitable ends. He had quite few
friends, and few years ago Don A. II.
Powers, Esq, OF Houlton, got Mr. Hack.
EFT to 90 to Houlton and he remained
there for year or more in Mr.. Powers
law office. Mr.. Hackett's wife died some
wears ago in Detroit.-Pittsfeld Adcer'

KNOWS MONA WILL CURE.
Frank w. Buchanan has such faith
In this great dyspepsia remedy
that he guarantees IL.


1t is an unusual thing for a druggist
to sell medicine under guarantee to
refund the money il it does not cure.
Yet this is the way F. w. Bucknam, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi.o-na, the
standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before had he had so large a
number of customers tell him that a
medicine mas cured as with Mi-o-pa.
People who few months ago looked
like walking skeletons have put on flesh
and today are ruddy and vigorous with
perfect digestion and good health, solely
due to the use of this remedy.
There is no longer any need of anyone
suffering or making their friends suffer
on account of dyspepsia, for Mi ma can
be relied upon to cure. The percentage
of cures is 80 nearly one hundred per
cent, that there is little risk to f w
Buchanan in guaranteeing to return the
money If the medicine does not cure.
And he stands ready to do so without
any questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are cured by Mi o.
ma. few days treatment shows con
siderable gain in health and cure
speedily follows.
These bright fail days are the best in
the whole year for the enjoyment of
good health And MILO ma will put you
in such perfect condition that you can
enjoy every minute of them.
