HIRED MAN DISAPPEARS.

Considerable excitement was occa.
stoned at the home of William Brown
at Berlin Corner ON Sunday afternoon
when it was discovered that the hired
man, John Kelley, had disappeared,
taking with him some clothes and a
purse containing 50 90 and also $14. 90
or more from Albert st. John. A
woman is probably implicated in the
case.
The incidents of the case are rs fol-
lows: On April man giving his
name as John Kelly hired out to
William Brown as "a farm hand. He
said he had come from Wells River
where he had worked as section hand
for the M. & w. railway the past
summer and winter and said he had a
sister, Mrs. John Roberts, living in
! Hanover, N. II. While in Berlin he
had Mr.. Brown address letter for
him to that place. Later he re-
ceived a letter addressed John Rob-
erts, care of John Kelley, Berlin, vt.
About May he informed Mr.. Brown
that he was married man. saying
that he had a wife and child who re-
sided in Hanover and expressed his
wish to go to see his family, which
he was supposed to have done as he
took some money and went away for
few days, returning all right.
Since the opening of the saloons he
had quite frequently came down to
this city and returned feeling pretty
we'll at late. hour. Last Saturday
night he, in company with stone
cutter by the name Of Jerry who re-
sided near, came down and bought
! one fourth barrel of ale, returning to
Jerry's place early Sunday morning
where they deposited the ale. Kelly
then went to Browns and did the
chores as usual in the morning, after
ward returning to Jerry's where they
drank again. They were joined by
Albert st. John, Who also resides
near. Meanwhile everybody at the
house with the exception of Kelley
and st. John went fishing, leaving
the two alone at the house. While
there Kelly asked st. John to change
dollar which he did, display ing a
small roll of bills. The men finally
started toward Browns but as St.
John complained of being dizzy they
sat down by the roadside. When st.
John awoke he had no companion and
also missed. his pocket book which
contained little over $14. In the
meantime Kelly had gone to his room
at Brown s. which he shared with Mr..
| Browns son. At the call to dinner
about one O'Clock no response was re-
ceived from Kelly and upon search
| the room was found empty. The
bureau drawers were open and a
wallet containing $3.50 was gone.
Some clothing was also missing.
No trace of the missing man has
| yet been found. A warrant for
his arrest is in the hands of Sheriff
Fitzgerald. 1t is drought that his
real name is John Roberts. He was
twenty six years old.

CLEANSE THE KIDNEYS IN
SPRING.
Alcohol Peril in Liquid Kidney
Remedies. "
Avoid Alcohol = Take KidnGy-Wort
Tablets.

Everything in the blood that is poi
sonous or not needed to nourish the
body is excreted by the kidneys. The
Impurities from drinking water alone
would keep them busy. No wonder
these two little organs are tired and
clogged in spring.
1t is wise to cleanse the kidneys
even if you are not sick abed. But it
is extremely unwise to take liquid
kidney remedies, as they contain
alcohol and alcohol MAKES it difficult
for the kidneys to throw off the uric
acid that is clogging them.
The world is not so badly off that
one suffering from kidney disease has
no choice but to take an alcoholic
remedy. The most effective kidney
remedy the world has ever known
Dr. Pettingill's KidneyWort Tablets
contain no alchohol. The tablets
not only cure the most desperate kid
ney diseases, but, taken in spring,
they cleanse the tired kidney Of the
accumulated uric acid that is interior
ing with their healthy action in an
amazing short time.
Fortunately, every one knows when
his Kidneys are sick. Backaches, loss
of appetite, cloudy or milky colored,
fragrant urine, swelling of hands and
feet. bloating of the body suggest at
once to the least-informed persons
trouble with the kidneys. These are
the beginnings of kidney arrangement.
The word disease need never appear
if Kidney-Wo Tablets are immedi-
ately employed.
A wise choice of remedy at such
a critical time means life and health.
Neglect or the use of irresponsible
liquid remedies means suffering and
death.
Watch the urine. 1t is the accurate
indicator of the health of the excret-
ing organs. Any disorder is at once
shown in the high color, cloudiness,
odor or abnormal quantity of the fluid,
either excessive or scanty.
The surest way of bringing on seri-
GUS organic diease of the kidneys is to
dose them with liquid alcoholic $50

AUD NICK'S SISTER.

A farmers wife in Perthshire, who
was much troubled D. her husbands
drunken habits, arranged with her
brother to play the "ghost" upon her
husband one dark night. When on

saw an apparition suddenly rise behind
some bushes. "Wha are yep cried

the reply. "Gie's shank o. yer

IN UNDECIDED BET.

GA baby was born to a certain min
lister last Saturday morning." says an
Oklahoma paper. "That evening the
officers waited on him with $50 in cash.
The next morning when the congrega-
ton assembled two wags stood before
the church door and one bet the min
lister would thank the Lord for the
money first, and the other bet he
would thank him for the baby. When
the reverend gentleman arose to pray
he said, Lord, we desire, also, TO
thank thee for this timely succor, and
the boys are yet undecided as to
which was the winner. +"

THE KINGS HEALTH.

Liverpool, May 21.-The POSTS cor
respondent among the London clubs
again reports that King Edward S
health is far from satisfactory. The
Post says: sat the Marlborough Club
on Tuesday one of the Kings house
hold cavalry declared that another
operation on His Majesty was con-
templated. This, l find may not prove
correct, but the Kings physician is
undoubtedly anxious, and is persis-
tently keeping his eye on the illustri-
GUS patient. Nothing will keep the
sovereign quiet and his physique IS
not sufficiently robust to support the
strain. At Rome he fell asleep twice
while being received, one time while
he was seated beside the Queen of
Italy"
