Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempor-

constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, DR..

to improve rapidly. All of his old COM
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.

 II. c. Warren, the acting president of the Merchants National Bank, will no doubt be elected president of that bank by the directors at their annual meeting next January.

gone, but were declared by Mr. oekert

gone, but were declared by MT. Qckert to have been melted off by the fire.
 One of the surprises of the inVestt- gation came when the safe door was finally opened by MT. ockert, The pa pers and books, together with the in- terior woodwork, were found blistered and burned, the papers being in many instances browned to crisp and in such state that the writing was al- most ineligible.
 A closer investigation showed that a considerable quantity of kerosene had been poured into the safe. The gases from the kerosene, formed by the heat of the burning building, had all but blown the safe open. The sides and front of the safe were bulged out all. most half an inch, showing the force of the gas formed.
 This seems to show that the motive of the assailants of MT. Curtiss was robbery. The office was broken into before it was fred Inside the office building George Reyes, the watchman. had locked the dog, and when Reyes went to the building after discovering 1t to be affre the dog was outside and unhurt in the least.
 Held in two ordinary kerosene cans there was kept in the office a quantity of the oil. MT Adams said yesterday morning that there were about six gall Ions there on Saturday. It is evident that the entire six gallons had been poured into and about the safe and on the WordWork in the corner where the Esafe stood There was no explosion during the fire, and from this 1t is known the kerosene must have all been poured out.
 Although at first it was believed that MT. Curtiss had no money or yaluables with him, 1t has since been found that before he left the house he placed in his pocket a wallet containing about $lO0. Ordinarily he wore strapped about his waist q cartridge belt, carry ing also a holster in which he kept a revolver. This entire outfit he left at home Saturday night.
 The finding of the body was due to Watchman Reyes. He had sent for MT. Curtiss immediately on finding the of- lice on fire. When he did not appear after a couple of hours wait Waterman Reyes asked the n1otornlah of q Bran- ford car to look for him, and this led to the finding of the unconscious man.
 The state police took up the matter yesterday afternoon.
