THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The bursting of water main near the Town hall, last Wednesday night, made lively times for the Water Co.,, and considerable inconvenience to pe- deStrians, until, after some trouble and effort, the shut-Off was fOuud and the flood SubSided. The water found it's way to the cement walk as we'll as converting the roadway down the bill into glade of ice, and Buel fleming way caused much labor to be expend- ed in clearing the walk and with the additional snow Saturday night, to cover the road, travel has resumed it's normal condition, and the main has been repaired so that patrons are con- forted again with a water supply. The Christmas vacation at Taft'S begins Wednesday, and will continue three weeks.

DISEASED KIDNEYS
 MADE WE'LL AGAIN N.
MT. Tcmpkins Had Been Troubled for Years, but Cr. Kennedy's New Medicine Cured Him.

From one of the pleasant villages in the Catskill Mountains comes a letter from Na- thaniel Tompkins, Windham Centre, N. Y., telling in plain words what Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's neeo medicine, has done for the writer. Here are his very words:
 "To day you can ask what has made mo feel ten years younger and will tell you. It was the a.eao medicine discovered by the well<known Dr. David Kennedy. mean Cal-cura Solvent. For years Twas troubled with my kidneys, but am all right now"
 That is the experience of thousands: Dr. Kennedy said he regarded his nelo medicine as the eliminating achievement of his life. and he was right. Cal-cura Solvent enriches the blood, aids digestion, regulates the bowels and sets the liver at work. It is mild but thorough. Its effects are lasting.
 Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kennedy Row, Rondout, N. Y., for a free sample bottle.
 Remember: Only one Dr. David Ken nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings ton, N. Y., and be sure you get his neso and latest medicine. Cal-cura Solvent, sold only in $1 O0 bottles.
