A TRINITY Of evils.
Cured by Dr.. Kennedy's New Medicine After
Other Treatment Had Failed.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara,
Penn, formerly of Roxbury, n. Y, writing
to DIR. David Kennedy, of kennedy Row,
said:
"Your NEW medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is immense 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot
of weary dosing with things that did no
good. 1t is record breaker and no mis-
take"
AS in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble. 1t
is because Cal-cura Solvent acts ON the kid
news and liver and at the same time eXpels
uric acid from the blood, that it is such u
reliable remedy for rheumatism and the at
tendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause therefore, the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.

For the year ending April 80, 1903,
bounties were paid as follows: On 6,507
foxes, 81, SS0.25; on "a lynxes, 1870; on
7196 hedgehogs, 50, 1853 80; on g. bears,
$500; on ~ rattesnal1es, S117.
The bounty on foxes from April 30, to
December ~, 1902, was sixty cents, and
from the last named date to April 30.
1903. was seventy-fve cents. The law
providing for the payment of hedgehog
bounties did not 20 into effect until
December l2, 1902, So the amount paid
in bounties on that animal for the year
ending April 30, 1902, was for only
little more than third of a year.
The most noticeable increase is in the
hedgehog bounties which is partly ex-
planned by the fact that they were paid
for only part of the year ending April
30, 1903, and partly by the fact that the
provisions of the law were better known.
Addison county shows an increase in
animals killed from 1.19s to .S2s. Of
the latter number los were kill in Bris-

James Kingsley Blake to Resume His
 Law Practice.
 It was announced at the probate court yesterday morning that Clerk James Kingsley Blake, after six years of highly efficient service in the court, has decided to return to the active practice of law, and has, much to the regret of Judge Cleaveland and the other officials of the court, resigned his position, to take effect January 4, 1905, at which time Judge Cleaveland will enter upon his new term to which he was recently elected.
 The vacancy created by MT. Blake's retirement will be filled by Assistant Clerk George w. Crawford, who was appointed to his present position year and a half ago.
 MT. Crawford will be succeeded by Attorney Clarence W. Bronson, who at present is associated with Judge Cleaveland in his Church street law of- fees. Attorney Bronson graduated from the academic department of Yale in the class of 1900 and from the Law school in 1903. He was appointed to q philosophical oration, is Phi Beta Kappa man and received the degree of LII. B., cum laude, upon his graduation from the Law school.
 MT. Blake has proved one of the most valuable clerks who has ever held the positoin His efficiency and uniform courtesy are universally con ceded, and have made for him many friends.

Bread Maker mixes and kneads the bread in three minutes. Think of that, ye bread makers who knead and knead and toll and perspire and who get your hands and fingers all daubed up and
 stuck up with the dough, and get sick of the job and then resolve that bak-
 CTS bread is the stuff. A barrel of flour makes 300 loaves and costs at the
 bakers five cents loaf or $15. A barrel
 of flour cost $4.50; yeast and shorten ing $150; total $6, It is estimated,
 therefore, that by the use of this mixer you save $9 every time you use a barrel of four if you make your own bread. Good home made bread has no equal, and the work required is all done by this universal bread maker in three min utes. You can get at Bassett & Co.'S a | title leafiet giving you all directions
 necessary as to using this machine. Many New Haven ladies have bought these sanitary and labor saving ma chimes and regard them with the ut most favor, and while present at the exhibition take a look at the Universal Food chopper which Mrs. Taylor ex- hibits also It is a necessity in every kitchen. It will chop all kinds of meat,
 raw or cooked, and all kinds of fruits
 and vegetables into clean-cut, uniform pieces--fine or coarse as wanted-with-
 out nlashing, and with great rapidity.
 It does away with the chopping knife and bowl entirely, doing it's work in one-tenth of the time and producing an absolutely uniform product.
 It is an invaluable help in the kitchen
 "a machine that will be used every. day and for almost every meal-self- clean ling, self-sharpening and will last a l lifetime.
 A child can take it apart and put 1t together again in half a minute.

gaps in prices caused by the fall. But it developed in the course of the day that conditions were not favorable to this raid return to the speculative mood existing before the break in the market. The demand rapidly thinned out at the higher level and there was some pres sure to sell at the recovered prices. To- wards the end of the day the market sunk into a dull and listless state not far from last nights close. There was nothing in the circumstances of the day to account either for the morning advance or the afternoon reaction fur ther than the natural tendency of the market to readjust itself by a series of lessening fluctuations after such a com motion as that to which it has been subjected. Sensitiveness to the course of Amalgamated Copper was still per eeptible, but not to such a super-sensi- ] tive degree as lately. The advance in that stock Has material aid to the general recovery, however, and its yielding was the signal for the aban- donment of operations for the rise. The attempt to move prices upwards cen- ~ pSIGu GOIlapiCUOuS1y III lAC SOdtCt cs Atchison was the most conspicuous weak spot in the market The decision to issue s5O,0OO.OOO of convertible bonds to provide capital for extensions and absorptions was the evident cause of

BREAD MAKING SCIENCE.
SPLENDIDLY FRUSTRATED AT JOHN F. BASsETT 6 CO.'S.

The Merits of the Universal Bread-
 Maker - Demonstrations Given--
 Something Needed in Every House
 Labor Saving and Sanitary.
 Bread making is reduced to a science by the use of the Universal Bread Max CT on exhibition at J. E. Bassett & Co S famous and immense hardware store on Chapel street, and where demonstra- tions of the process are being given by Mrs. Taylor with lucid complete and comprehensive oral explanations. When one sees the Universal Bread Maker operated it occurs at once to any ob- server that 1t is wonder that every housekeeper in the land does not pos articles which need only to be seen to be fully appreciated. The Universal Bread Maker is a great labor saver, and appeals also at once to all who want bread that is clean and wholesome, not mixed with sweat from the hands and clean as clean can be. With this appa- ratus the bread baker does not touch the flour with the hands at all, doesn't have to and hence cleanliness is most certainly assured. All who read Prof. McGregory's article in a New York pa per concerning his visit to the under ground bakeries in New York, where cleanliness in handling dough was shockingly lacking, and where urgent sanitary measures were most manifest, will at once recognize on seeing this Universal Bread Maker at work that it is a most cleanly way of making bread. Then it is a prime labor saver. All you do after the ingredients are in the mix CT is to turn the crank around and around which is so easy that a ten year old child can do it. and in very short time the dough is ready to be transferred to the receptacle in which it is to stand until it rises. It Is all so simple, so easy and so cleanly that all will see it's merits at once, and if you want to make a Christmas present highly useful get one of them at Bas- sett & Co.'S. They don't cost much, and Mrs. Taylor will tell you all you need to know about it, agreeably, clear ly and completely. The Universal
