Kidnappina Affair.

An attempt was made a few days
AGO to kidnap the l3-year-old son OF
Alfred Rathburn, an engineer Of the
Rising & Nelson slate quarry at South
Poulney.
According to the boys story he was
in the playground OF the graded
school, after the dismissal OF school,
when he was seized by two men and
placed in a wagon with them, after
which they drove rapidly in the direc-
ton of South Poultney. It was grow
ing dusk and when they were some
little distance from Poultney they
drove off from the main road up TO a
house in the woods. They blindfolded
the boy and tied his arms and lett him
i'm the wagon while they went inside.
The boy says he managed to get one
arm free, after which he cut the rope
and united the bandage from his eyes
and was about getting out OF the
wagon when both men came out OF the
house and discovered his attempt to
escape. He ran and was closely pur-
sued by the men, but being well
acquainted with the country he man.
aged 10 elude them in the darkness,
and after several narrow escapes from
tumbling into the deep quarry pits
about, finally managed to crawl into
the coal shed attached TO the engine
room of the Rising & Nelson property.
The boys parents searched for him
all night without finding him but the
next morning early when his father
went TO attend to his duties before
starting further search, he was sur
prised to find the child lying upon the
coal in the shed, shivering and in a
sorry condition from his long ex-
posure to the cold.
The boy thought the men spoke in
the Hungarian language, and as a
great number of those people are EN-
ployed in the quqrries at and about
Poultney, suspicion that these people
were the perpetrators OF the kidnap-
ping has become strong.

A MINER RESCUED
HOW HELP CAME IN A TIME OF
EMERGENCY.
A Dubuque Man was in a Situation Of
Great Palm and Peril and was Al
most Hopeless.

sin the lead mines ] was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness and extremes OF
cold" said Mr.. j. q. Meukel of 2975 Jack
son avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in describing
his experience to reporter, land it is not
surprising that | contracted rheumatism.
For three years had attacks affecting the
joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My
ankles and knees became SO swollen i
could scarcely walk on uneven ground and
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause so much pain that L
was often obliged to lie in bed for several
days at a time. My friends who were sim
ilarly troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance / read the story OF Robert Yates, OF
the Klauer Manufacturing Co., OF Du-
buque, who had very bad case of rheu-
matism. i decided 10 try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he
had used. In three or four weeks after be-
ginning to use the pills, was much bet
ter and in three months | was well. The
swelling OF the joints and the tenderness
disappeared, | could work steadily and for
eight years have had no return of the
trouble. My whole family believe in DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. Both my sons use
them. We consider them household
remedy that we are sure about"
This is convincing testimony, easily YER
flied, from plain, earnest man who knows
that he has escaped the clutches OF ter
rible disease and who is profoundly grate--
full and anxious to help others.
Mr.. Meukel is a thrifty miner and
well-known citizen Of Dubuque. No one
could imagine that he had reached his
SEVENTEEN year as he is seen going to his
daily work with vigorous step and erect
bearing. DR.. Williams Pink Pills did
more for him than simply give relief. They
eradicated the disease by getting at the
seat Of the difficulty in the blood. These
pills are equally efficacious in the treat
ment OF other obstinate troubles such as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, st.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headache, after effects Of grip, anemia
and all forms of weakness either in male
or female. They are sold by all druggists,

POWDER MILL DESTROYED.
One Man Blown to Pieces and Two
More Injured.


The Robin Hood Powder company's
plant at Swanton blew up with terrific
force at o'clock in the afternoon Nov.
IS, killing one man and completely
wrecking and destroying the plant.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
buildings rocked on their foundations
all over the village and glass was
smashed from windows by the con-
cussion.
The powder manufacturing plant of
the company, which was DESTROYED,
consisted of five buildings. all of which
were blown to pieces or burned up.
The trouble started in what is known
as the mixing department, in which
but one man, o. Blair, happened to be
working at the time. The explosion
came and Blair was blown to atoms,
while two men, John Tousew and VIII
liam Donaldson, who were working
in the next room, only 10 feet away
and separated by a thin board parti-
ton, escaped. The only plausible
reason which can be given for the ex-
plosion is that Blair used an iron ham
mer in pounding something and the
two men who escaped say that the
explosion instantly followed the
pounding they heard in the mixing
room.
The force of the explosion was from
north TO south and the wrecking of
the building was followed by a fierce
fire which spread rapidly over the
entire works, while the working force
OF about 25 ran for dear. lite. Mr..
Mountain, foreman of the powder
works, and John Tousew, an employee,
were the most seriously injured. They
were burned about the face and hands.
The only building of the company's
plant in the vicinity which did not 90
was the strongly built and heavily
walled powder magazine, which was
located farthest away, and in which
were stored about 80 tons of powder
If this had gone, as everyone expected
it would, Swanton would have pretty
much wiped off the map.
Blair, the man who met such a hOr-
rible death, was about 81 years old
and left wife and three young chill
dren. He had been employed by the
company for about a year and was
much esteemed by his employers.
The scenes about the premises after
the explosion were well nigh indie
scribable. Everywhere was wreck,
ruin, fire and disaster. The buildings
had literally been blown to slivers or
burned fiat, while their sheet iron
covering was torn to shreds and rem
nants were scattered in all directions
for hundreds OF rods. A sorrowful
sight was the body of searchers among
the ruins trying to find pieces of the
remains Of the unfortunate Blair.
The company will without doubt
rebuild its plant at once, as its product
is in great and ever-increasing de-
mand and it has more orders than it
can fill.
