ENCOUNTER NTH A DOC.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned Sunday about 1880 O'Clock
near William Miller's store, by large
white bull dog which ran among the
crowd biting and attempting to bite
everyone whom he came in contact.
1t seems the bull dog had been fight
ing with a smaller dog few minutes
before and the latter got away, so he
proceeded to wreak vengeance upon
the crowd, first biting man by the
name of Moses DEMO. and then turn
ing toward a passing lady biting
piece from her skirt. The dog ran
across the street, turned again and
came back and bit j. II. Campbell.
who was,standing on the sidewalk, in
the left leg. 1t is thought that he bit
another man but no authentic report,
either of the fact or name of the per-
son, can be obtained. After running
around for few seconds the dog
started up stairs in the Argus build
ing.
In the meantime j. II. Campbell,
one of the special officers and the man
who was bitten, fearing for the safety
of the crowd which had swelled to a
large proportion by this time, ran to
the police station and secured re-
volver. He, with officer Connors
carrying lantern, started up stairs
and found the dog swapping at the
stairs at the top of the second flight
Corners held the lantern and Camp
bell shot, striking the dog in the nose.
1t reeled and started as if to spring
but Campbell put two more bullets
into him. ending his career at short
notice.
1t was thought by some that the
dog had hydrophobia but it is not now
so generally believed as the dog was
not frothing at the mouth. Much
credit is due Mr.. Camp bell for his
quick, bold and effective work for, had
the dog been mad and reached the
crowd again, there is no telling where
the trouble would have ended
The men went at once to physi-
| clan and the wounds were cauterized
and no bad results are thus far evil
dent.
1t is not known to whom the dog
belonged.

and obsolete medicines for the same pur-
pose. 1t antagonizes and destroys all forms
of disease germs in the body as nothing
else does.
John Donohue, OF Chatham, N. Y, suffered from
Scrofula and Eczema for many years. All the doc
tors he consulted failed to give him any relief AT
last, Mr. Barringer, his druggist, advised him TO
take DIR. Kennedy's new medicine, Cal-cura Solvent.
He did and from the very first bottle he was benz
Gifted. The painful and foul appearing eruptions
on his face, hands and body all disappeared and he
has not been troubled with the disease since.
Women are more frequently afflicted with
skin eruptions than men. Their confined
lives, and carelessness about their eating
and bowel movements, tend to produce
the chronic skin troubles that worry and
disfigure them for years. A treatment with
Cal-cura Solvent restores health and good
looks. Refuse substitutes.
Send to the Cal-cura Company, DIR. Ken
nedy Row, Rondout, N. Y, for a free
sample bottle. Large bottles $1.00, all
druggists One size only.
Remember; Only one DIR. David Ken
nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings
ton, N. Y, and the name of his ae,o and
latest medicine is Cal-cura Solvent.

Letter to Frank Robinson.
Montpelier, vt,

Montpelier, vt.
Dear Sir: Here's what "wears
longer" means.
ID. T. McGown, Cooperstown, N.
Y, built house in '85 and painted
Devoe. The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neighbor
built house and painted it lead and
oil. The neie hbor 5 house was re-
painted twice in the same time.
This looks as if tie neighbor's house
was painted three times il eight or
nine years, and McGown's once in ten
years. We are not quite sure-we tell
the tale as it comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead
and oil alone. The reason is: white
dead is soft and chalks off zinc is
hard; and, when thoroughly ground
into the lead, prevents its chalking
and makes it more durable
Yours truly,
