FELL NEAR BUzz-SAW
NARROW ESCAPE OF A WORKMAN
STRICKEN WITH VERTIGO.

Interesting History of a Man Who Has
Been Near Death Many Tines-MadS
Prisoner at Battle of Cedar Creek.
While operating buzz saw in a NAL
liable iron foundry at Troy, Henry
simons, a member Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, was suddenly stricken
with vertigo and fell almost upon the
the swiftly revolving saw. But the same
good fortune that carried him unwounded
through four years Of active service du-
ring the Civil war again preserved his
life. While serving in Co II, Twelfth
Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, during
the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley
made famous by Sheridan g ride, he had
been captured by the Confederstes at
the battle Of Cedar Greek, and confined
in Libby prison for months before he
was finally exchanged. The sudden ILL
ness which brought him SO near an
awful death WAS the direct result of his
war experience, as Mr. Simons stated to
a reporter who called at his comfortable
home at No. 4 Linden avenue, Troy, n Y.
Ever since the campaign Of New Or.
loans ID 1901, ne Brit, Hhft DSSh IA"
fioted with malaria and frequent attacks
Of acute gastritis, brought on by constant
exposure and the malarial atmosphere of
the bayou country. At times | WAS sub
ject to attacks Of vertigo and it was
seizure OF this kind that nearly ended
my life.
:" For over thirty years employed the
best physicians but they were unable to
give me any permanent relief. One day
saw DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People mentioned in local newspaper
and decided to try them. Before | had
finished the first box ! noticed that my
appetite had improved and that | was
much stronger. That also iiiST hhe1 the
end of the attacks of extreme vertigo.
l kept on taking the pills aud my recov-
cry from that time WAS gradual but
steady. l am heartily glad to endorse Dr..
Williams Pink Pills.
These pills have cured many stubborn
cases Of nervousness, partial paralysis,
locomotor ataxia, ST. Vitus' dance. rheu-
matism, sciatica and all forms of weak
ness whether in male or female. Sold

SOMERSET PICK-UPS

George H Morse, Esq, of Pittstield,
has returned from California. He had
been gone about month and had very
and successful business trip. A consd-
cradle part of the business was the or
ganizalion of the alifurnia Lumber GO, ,
concern of $250,00O, operating in
Mendocino county and handling tracts
of cumberland employed IN the manu-
facture of redwood Several prominent
New England lumbermen are Interested
i'll this enterprise, and while Mr. More
is particularly interested in the CON-
pany, hs will not remove from Pittstie
and will continue his large law practice
there.
Some of our business concerns are be
coming inconvenenced by reason of the
non-arrival of various commodities from
the west. The milk facrury has had IA
carload of tin pate on The road from
Pennsylvania Tor several weeks past,
and it is now Obliged 10 depend on the
Whitefield factory fof tin plate TO keep
this one supplied. a prominent mel
chant has had Cal of bran en- route
from Michigan for an equally long pc
Rod, and If present conditions continue,
the result may be famine in the fet d
line. The reason for such unusual de
lay in the arrival of cars is owing TO the
unprecented severe stress of weather
throughout the northern and western
states, which makes the question of
freight car movements an exceedingly
doubtful one in point of time, says the
Pittsfield Advertiser,
Daniel Pooler, accompanied by his
attorney, D. d. Stewart, Esq of st. A.
bans, went to Portland, last week, for
the purpose of being taken into the Gus
tody of the United States and relieving
the bondsmen, but when he appeared
before the United States court he was
told to go home and stay there until he
was sent for, which means that in all
probability the sentence will not be car
ried into effect at all. Pooler was given
the lightest possible sentence, but as
there we're some features in the case
which called for consideration, the case
was taken to the court of appeals and
the mandate has not yet been handed
down. He returned to Palmyra happy
man but somewhat mixed up and won
dering what was coming next in the
way of surprises. He has been resi-
dent of Palmyra some 81 years, says the
Pttsfield Advertiser.
