tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the
great kidney liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swanp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists In ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle.

TO GRANT NEW LICENSES
BRATTLEBoRo COMMISSIONERS
HOLD HEARING TOMORROW.
Five Applications for Three Licenses
One for MeIrose Hotel - Southern
Town Residents Object to Passing
Open Saloon.

Hearings in the license applications
of Patrick L. Shea, Cecil G. Turner and
George III. Danyew will be held to-mor-
rooms. petition has been circulated
among property owners near the Whet-
stone building and residents on Canal
street this week objecting to the grant
ing of license to Mr.. Shea to sell IL
quor in the store in MILESTONE building
formerly occupied by the city market.
The petitioners do not claim that Mr..
license but base their objection on the
fact that to grant a license for that To-
cality would mean an open saloon
which would have to be passed by all
residents of the southern part of the
town. The petition will probably be
presented to the license board to-mor-
row night.
What action the commissioners will
take upon the different applications is
a matter of considerable discussion.
Fl. B. Haus has this week leased the
Melrose hotel in West Brattleboro of
L. J. Strong with an option of pur-
chasing the property, and the new les
see has made application for a first
class license for that hostelry. This
makes five applications for three Ii
censes. Mr.. Shea asking for a first and
second class license, and Messrs. Turn
err Danyew and Haus each asking for
first class license. Mr.. Haus's hearing
will take place Saturday, Nov. 2s.

WONDERFUL PIECE OF TAPESTRY
On Exhibition at the South Main St.
Home Of Mrs. Lucy A. Cox.

| A large number of people have beer
to the home of Mrs. Lucy A. Cox or
South Main street this week to see the
tapestry depicting the Biblical scene
of Queen Esther's exposure of Haman
This valuable piece of handiwork will
be shipped next week to Detroit, Mich.
where it will find place in the home
of Congressman Corliss. The tap
estry belonged to the late A. S. Cox
whose younger sister lives with the
family of the Michigan ex-congress-
man. II was worked by Mrs. Sarah
Caroline Topliff Cox of Barnard, who
devoted the last seven years Of her life
to its completion. 1t is estimated that
four years of actual work, six hours a
day, was required to make this tapes
try and it seems wonderful that any
such effect could be produced by nee
die and worsted. The scene depicts
the moment when the beautiful Jewish
maiden, Esther, taken captive by the
Persian king, Ahasueras, and after
wards made his queen, at her banquet
revealed to him the plot of his chief
minister Haman. to destroy her peo-
pie. The tapestry is 44x56 inches.
worked upon heavy white drilling, and
the design is entirely original. In some
of the more delicate portions 20 differ
ent shades of color and over 500 stitches
are included in one square inch. The
stitch used is peculiar, always accom-
modating itself in direction to the
course of color shading.
The tapestry has been in the family
of the late A. S. Cox since the death of
his sister, its maker, in 1863 At the
time of the Centennial exposition
strenuous effort was made to have the
work shown as a part of the Vermont
exhibit, but owing to the difficulty in
shipping it this was not done. The
only time the tapestry has been seen
by the public was at loan exhibition
in the Baptist parsonage several years
ago Mrs. Cox will be glad to show the
tapestry on afternoons and evenings
during the rest of this week, and the
work is well worth seeing. Although
40 years old its colors remain as bright
as ever. and every detail of the picture
from the lace on the costumes of the
women to the delicate designs of the
palace hangings is as clearly traced as
if ii were done with brush.

DIPHTHERIA is SPREADING
SEVERAL NEW CASES AND ONE
DEATH REPORTED THIS WEEK.
School and Health Authorities Ask
Parents to Use Extreme Caution in
Preventing Children With Suspic-
ious Symptoms Attending School.

In spite of the efforts which are be-
ing made by the local health authori-
ties there seems to be a gradual spread
of diphtheria and scarlet fever in town.
| Two new cases of the latter disease
have been reported this week, the suf-
ferers being the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. d. Mills of Washington street,
and Miss Florence Timson, an
employee of the hosiery fact
ory who lives on Chestnut
street. The cases are of mild
type and both were reported to Health
officer Waterman Wednesday. AS
reported elsewhere the oldest son of
Henry Pellerin of Birge street, died of
diphtheria Monday morning after an
illness of only two days. Cultures
taken from the boys throat were sent
to the hygienic laboratory at Burling
ton to make sure of the disease and 1t
was found to be diphtheria in a mild
form. A son of John Fredette who
lives in one of the water cure build
ings on Elliott street. and a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. william Brockington of
Green street also have the disease in a
mild form. Holton, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. H. Davenport, is recovering
though the case was not reported un-
til the first of the week. One of the
children of Edwin Canton of Elliott
street came down with the disease yes
terday.
In view of the fact that the numper
of cases of diphtheria in the town seem
to be slowly increasing, the school
board joins with the health authorities
in asking parents to be extremely care
full and not let children attend school
who have sore throats until Threats
have been examined by physician and
reported to be all right. While thus
far. with the exception of one case
now sick with diphtheria all are hav-
ing a light run of the disease. neverthe-
less the fact that the number of cases
slowly but surely increases and also
that the new cases are coming from diff |
ferent sections of the town shows that |
the infection is general and should this |
continue 1t would be a menace to the |
community.
1t might be well to state that all the |
school buildings have been thoroughly |
fumigated from time to time. The |
books that were used by children taken |
ill with infectious diseases have been |
destroyed and the board of health have |
done everything in their power in |
maintaining the strictness of the quar-
antine. All of these precautions, |
however, will not avail if the parents |
do not cooperate with the school au-
thorities and board of health by re-
porting suspicious cases before children
having sore throats have time TO come
in contact with others

Railroad Wreck in HinsdaIe.

There was a wreck on the railroad
near Hoyt Days in Hinsdale Tuesday
afternoon. The track was being re-
paired and the men on an engine failed
to see the danger signal on the track.
The engine was on the way to Keene;
it was thrown from the track and down
an embankment. The engineer and
fireman and one or two others who
were on the engine barely escaped by
jumping from the engine. over 500
people visited the scene on Tuesday
and Wednesday. The engine will be
raised on to the track Sunday.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Three Men Try to Break Into vii.
n,inqton Postoffice.

A bold attempt was made Wednesday
night TO break into the postoffice at
Wilmington At about 1880 Thursday
morning, Mrs. E. E. Wheeler who
resides directly opposite the office was
awakened by noise and going to the
window saw three men at work on the
postoffice door; she made noise and
the persons were evidently frightened
and ran away. They left their tools
which consisted of two chisels, heavy
hammer and a long wrench and bar
of iron. The tools We're evidently
taken from the basement of the Deer
field River Office where plumbers are
putting in steam fixtures. An officer
was promptly called and all effort made
to find a clue to the would-be robbers
but no trace at this time can be estab-
lished.

Uncle Sans
Big Game
Pre-
Especial Correspondence. !

Lander, WyO., Feb. o4.-At least in
point of area, Uncle Sam has the lar
gest zoo in the world, though there are
others into which are huddled a greater
variety of animal life. This is the Vel
lowstone National park, embracing
5000 square miles, where roam at will
uncounted herds of wild animals in
digenOus to the country-buffalo, elk,
deer. antelope and the like
The Yellowstone park is an ideal and
unique big game preserve, and as there
is no open season here the animals are
safe from the huntsman, becoming alb
solutely fearless of injury from man.
Although they are as wild as the wild
est mountain forest can produce, every
species knows to a nicely the boundary
of the preserve and keeps within it.
Even the timid deer have lost their
sense of fear and the noise Of dis
charging gun has no terror for them.
1t is not an unusual thing to see
group of them grazing within few
rods Of pOsthouse CT hotel, apparent
~ satisfied that no harm can come to
them under Uncle Sans protecting
care. The firing of the shutdown gun
a twelve pounder-will not cause them
to stop munching the bunch grass
which they have kicked up under the
snow. But the hauling down of the
flag will attract their curious attention
much more than the noise of the gun.
The park is patrolled thoroughly by
the government to prevent the shooting
of the animals. Two troops Of cavalry
are divided into single scouts and pa
troll the 5000 square miles of the park
constantly, and as the years go by and
this plan is continued the game comes
to know and not to fear it's human pro-
tectors. Poachers receive fair trial be-
fore United States judge, but if it ap-
pears that they are on the reservation
for the purpose of destroying the game
they are dealt with in accordance with
the severe laws provided.
Public sentiment among the residents
the park has been awak-
ened, and their sympathies, which at !
first seemed not to be favorable to the
plan of game preservation, have now
become thoroughly in harmony with
the intent of the government.
Under these wise provisions the
of each species have greatly
increased until now the park is full |
