Workmen who were excavating
Saturday afternoon on land owned
by ex-senator Frank D. White of
Rutland, found a skeleton of man
three or four feet underground. The
discovery is believed to explain the

The position Of the skeleton when
found was such as to give the inn

WIND, SLEET, SNOW
rluch Damage Done by
Sundays Storm-Many
Wires Down.

A heavy storm of rain, sleet and
snow swept over New England Sun
day afternoon and evening, breaking
wires in every direction and at many
points telegraph and telephone COM
munication was entirely suspended.
A heavy fall of wet, sticky snow fol-
lowed the afternoon storm, clinging
to the wires, and in this vicinity the
damage to the telephone service was
the worst ever known. The electric
light company was more fortunate,
there having been very little inter-
ruption in the service.
A broken electric wire on South
street Monday morning sizzled and
flashed in the snow for some time
before the current was shut off, and
another wire on River street likewise
gave show of fireworks of high volt
age.
The local telephone wires were
broken in all parts of the village,
and up and down the river, and at
Deweys Mills four or five sections
were damaged, the wires being torn
from the poles in some instances.
By Wednesday the wires in the vii
lage were mostly in working order
again.
1t was an unusually heavy fall Of
snow for the first part of November,
and would have been called a pretty
fierce storm at any time of the year.
In this village about eleven inches
of damp, watery snow fell; in Bridge
water there was nearer two feet,
while White River junction only
caught six or seven inches.
The unreasonable storm seemed to
be central over North Bridgewater
for awhile, according to local obser-
vations and experiences, and the
way the wind pushed around and
piled up two feet of snow beat the
oldest inhabitant.
Mail Carrier G. II. English has
mad trouble before on his way
through North Bridgewater, but ten
foot drifts were too much for him
and his horse and he had to turn
back. Last winter never missed a
trip.
There were plenty of deep snow
drift stories told Monday. A Read
ing man reported that he had to cut
through seven-foot heap of snow in
the road on his way here; and a
North Bridgewater man whose sheep
were out over Sunday night had to
plough through eight feet of snow to
reach them.
Aside from broken wires there was
little damage done in this village.
Tree limbs fell here and there, and
a section of the handsome Balm of
Gilead tree at G. E. Woodruff's resi-
dence was broken, striking on the
roof of the piazza. 1t walked up the
family.

II You Have Dyspepsia, Read This.
The old way Of taking pepsin, bis.
muth. etc. to cure dyspepsia Is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
let's or liquid, the result is just the
same. The object is to create arti-
hcial digestion, but this does not make
a cure. Stop taking the pepsin, etc.,
and you have your dyspepsia or indi-
gestlon back again. People use CO.
caine or opium for nervous troubles
and siek-headache, It does not cure,
stop taking the drugs and the pain and
distress return. The only common
sense method Is to drive out OF the
system the cause Of dyspepsia and
sick headache by cleansing the stom.
ach and bowels, at the same time us
ing a medicine that will act on the liv-
er. This forces through the glands OF
the stomach the digestive fluid that
nature intended. In this way you
cure dyspepsia. The medicine that
cures dyspepsia by this method is
called Or, Gums Improved Liver
Pills. Druggists sell these pills at csc
per box. II only takes one Of these
pills for a dose.

STORY
Alderman Hubbard Has Fun
at Journals Expense.
but Loses Ont

Alderman Hubbard opposed the
motion last evening, during council
meeting, to place guard rails on TOP
of the wire along the sides of the big
bridge. He said it was only news
paper scare" and that the council
should not get excited over the condi.
ton of the bridge. The Capital Jour
nal is to blame for starting the re-
port" said the city dad, with empha-
sis. "and l think it Is useless extrava-
gance to put plank above the wire.
The story printed in that paper the
other day about a Polk county horse
which nearly jumped into the river
sounds pretty fishy.'
The other members Of the council
laughed at the fourth ward humorist,
and they all voted to place safe
guard along the bridge.
