Maine Woman's Thrilling Experience
Duplicated In Brattleboro,

There are scores Of families In
Brattleboro and near by towns who
VIII read with interest the wonderful
experience OF Mrs. A. L. Carlton, one
OF the best known women In Rock
land. Me.
Mrs. Carlton says: II suffered with
stomach trouble for eight years
growing worse all the time. Three OF
the best doctors In Maine diagnosed
my case as cancer Of the stomach and
declared l could not live two months
Utterly discouraged with their treat
ment, l began using Mi-o-na and
commenced to gain at once. At this
time, was reduced to almost skin
and bones, as / had lost nearly 100
pounds during my sickness. but when
! began to take Mi-o-na, my flesh
was built up and I gained 22h
lbs. the first month. l have taken
only six packages of these wonderful
tablets, but my health is about re-
stored and I firmly believe that MI
o-na saved my life"
George Il. Greene Is our local agent
for Mi-o-na, which sells for 90 cents
a box, and offers 1t under personal
guarantee that II 1t does not cure the
worst form of stomach trouble and
resulting disorders, the money will
be refunded.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Amendments to Connecticut River
Dam Charter viii Be Secured.

The last obstacle In the path OF a
sweeping charter for the Connecticut
river dam has been removed the past
week by a compromise with the Ver-
mont Valley railroad. the corporation
that owns the tracks between here
and Bellows Falls. The comprom-
Use is In the form of n contract by
which the Vermont Valley road pro-
misses to grant the corporation such
land or privileges as may be requir-
ed for the erection OF the west wing
of the proposed dam on payment OF
reasonable consideration. The con-
tract is the result Of n prolonged
contest between Clarke C. Fits, rep
resenting the dam corporation, and
the Boston a. Maine railroad inter-
ests lessees of the Valley road. In
Mr.. Fitts's bill amending the dam
charter Is n clause relating to the
taking of railroad land by right of
eminent domain. on account OF the
precedent that such provision
would establish the railroad people
were naturally 10th to see 1t go
through, and when 1t became appar-
emf that Mr.. Fitts's bill stood good
chance OF being passed they COM
promised by signing the aforemen-
toned contract on consideration
that the Objectionable portion of the
bill should be stricken out. The 9TH
err portion OF the bill relates to the
protection of the sanitary condition
of the Brattleboro Retreat by taking
care of the sewage which now
flows through the Retreat meadow
into West river, leaving the matter
to a board of sanitary engineers.
The new bill does not affect In any
way the protection granted in the
,Ia ri tn
land adjoining the river. Following
| Is the text of the agreement
The Vermont Valley railroad
hereby agrees that If part of House
Bill 4o5 of the Session Of 1904, which
provides for taking its land be
stricken out, it will, upon the incor-
poration and organization. (under
| the act of which said bill Is pro-
posed ahnendmenD of company
grant to such company the land or
privileges required for the erection
of the west wing or the proposeu
dam. for a reasonable consideration
to be agreed upon, provided the pay
ment thereof Is assured 10 the sald
Vermont Valley railroad,
And the said Vermont Valley rail-
road further agrees that II the
price is not agreed upon 1t may be
determined by the arbitration ana
award of an arbitrator to be agreed
upon by the two parties; and II they
fail to agree upon one arbitrator,
the price may be determined by the
arbitration and award of three ar
bitrators. one to be selected by one
marty one by the other party, and
the third by the two arbitrator Sc
lected by the parties.
Dated this 18th day of November
1904.
