WretcI1ed Hot Weather
Sufferers.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
SHOULD BE USED IN JULY
And AUGUST.

The extraordinary variable spring
and early summer weather of the
present year has been the cause of a
vast amount of sickness in every part
of our country. Strong men and wom-
en- have been victims; the weak, run
down and sickly have suffered in
fensely, and many families now mourn
the loss of near and dear ones.
The nervous, weak, run down and
debilitated should now devote their
best energies and attention to health
building, so as to enable them to with
stand the enervating effects of the ap-
preaching hot weather.
The use of Paine's Celery Com
pound will soon bring a return of true
physical strength; the nerves will be
fed and braced; the blood viii be made
purer and richer; digestion will be
corrected, and sweet, refreshing sleep
will take the place of insomnia and ir-
ritability.
Paines Celery Compound is doing a
marvellous work for the sick and suf-
tering at this time. 1t is the only
preparation that possesses value and
virtue for recruiting the strength and
spent energies of weakly and sick peo-
pie in summer time. The trial of one
bottle will give you happy results.

BIG GAS TRUST GOES BUMP.
Large New Jersey Concern in Hands
of Receiver.


TRENTON, N. J., July Z. = Judge
Kirkpatrick, of the United States cir
cult court, today appointed George d.
Hallock, of Plainfield, N. j., receiver of
the Bay State Gas Company Of New
Jersey. This is the company that was
organized by J. Edward Addicks and
others for the purpose Of controlling
the Boston Gaslight company,th Rox-
bury Gaslight company, the South
Boston Gaslight company and the Bay
State Gas company of Boston. The
APPLICATION for a receiver was made by
Frank L. Day & Co., of New York, who
hold 100000 worth of bonds of the
syndicate. Day claims that the syndi-
cate has defaulted in the payment of
interest on the bonds; that it owes in
interest $27S,987, and the Mercantile
Trust company $4,000. 1t is charged
that the syndicate permitted the four
companies named to create a floating
indebtedness of $333,000, and that the
total liabilities of the Bay State Gas
Company of New Jersey is upwards of
100000 The only security the New
Jersey company has is the stock it
holds in the four companies named,
and these, it is charged, have not paid
any dividends for the past two years
and with no prospect of doing SO in the
immediate future because of the gas
war now in progress in Boston.
