BURNED TO DEATH IN A SHANTY

BURNED TO DEATH IN A SHANTY.
 Henry Resnet, wood chopper en- ployed on the land of John B. Pope on the outskirts of the village, was burned to death in his hut, last week. It is thought that he lay down on his bed of hay and spark from his pipe caused the fire. The hut was entirely con- Sumed. Fred Jackson, a cOlOred man and Resnet's companion, escaped from the hut without injury and suspicion was laid upon him for foul play. Marks of d knife wound were also found upon the body, which was so badly burned that the direction of the wound could not be obtained definitely. Jackson was held in the Seymour rlockupduring the investigation of Coroner Mix. Jackson, in a statement made at the Seymour jail, said that he believed the fire which burned the hut was caused by spark from Resnet's pipf falling upon the hay from which his bed was made. Hesad Resnet had been drink ing when he lay down with his pipe lighted. When Jackson was awakened by the smoke he rushed out of the. hut and did not know what had become of Resnet. Coroner Mix ordered the re- lease of Jackson on Wednesday,, who went immediately to Oxford and to the hotel bar room for a drink. Resnet's friends, who were there, showed con- siderable ill feeling toward him. Two of the wood choppers attacked him. Jackson fought back, but was roughly handled. The bartender advised Jack son to leave town, which he did, taking to the woods. He was followed by a number of wood choppers.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION,

"l have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says J. H. Weber, prominent druggist of Cas- cade. Iowa. What better recommenda- tion could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious have no appetite or when tro ubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief they afford.

THE EFFECT NEURALGIA HAD ON
 A WOFlAN'S FACE

BUT WITH THE AID OF DIR WILLIAMS
 PINK PILLS SHE WAS ENABLED TO
 FREE HERSELF FROM SUFFERING
 AND IS NOW WELL.
 "For year I suffered the axonies of neuralgia, my face and head nearly withered from the pain and found no relief till 1 tried Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and was cured" B. Whittlesey, of Turin, N. Y. Her neighbors can verify the truth of it.
 "In the winter of 19O0," she contin- ues, "my general health was poor and l began to suffer with neuralgia. tried three different physicians, but they did not help me; in fact, grew worse. l suffered untold tortures with the pain in my face and l don't know what l should have done if had not acted on the advice of a friend and taken Dr Williams Pink Pills. In three days af- ter beginning with them the pain began to grow less and after taking three box peared. Since then have not had even touch of the pain. l have recom- mended Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People to every one l have seen who suffered with.neuralgia."
 The power of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in the vast number of diseases due to derangements of the nervous system or to impure blood has been demonstrated in thousands of in- stances as remarkable as the one rela- ted above.
 It is well-established fact that Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing specific for locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexiOns and all forms of weakness in either male or female.
