THE MANASSAS TRIP
Arrangements Under Which Company K. viii
Go to Virginia.

Capt Graves of Company X. says
that arrangements for the trip to
Manassas in September are nearly
completed Nearly all the men in all
the companies have secured at their
own expense the solid russet shoes
which all the participants in the ma
neuvirs must wear The shoes were
purchased through the officers, who
secured them at government prices.
Olive Arab uniforms have been or
dered and by the last of the month all
the men will have their new suits. In
the Manassas maneuvirs the 10000
men will be divided into two armies
which are to fight sham battle. One
side will wear the blue service uni
forms and the other the drab and
khaki outfit. Vermont's regiment is
on the drab side.
The men will go to Manassas in
heavy marching order. No baggage
will be allowed, and the boys will be
confined to the use OF the regular
army outfttings only. Officers will
send their own horses to Manassas,
and will carry only the regulation of.
fcers' outfit.
The regiment will be in rendezvous
for probably two days either at Brat
tleboro or Burlington before starting to
Manassas on Sept. 2. Officers and
men will there get an idea of their
duties in the important and arduous
outing ahead of them. There will be
20 mounted officers in the Vermont
regiment.

usual Circumstances in
Hoosick Falls.
HIS WIFE WAS AWAY

jeremiah Murphy, farmer, living
about two miles from Hoosick Falls,
was found dead in his potato field
Thursday morning by two ofhis neigh
bors. He had evidently been dead
several days. Saturday, Edward
Downes, neighbor, left some papers
at the door of Mr. Murphy's house.
Passing the place this morning he saw
the papers where he had left them. He
found the house was locked up. Co
ing to the barn he discovered that the
horse had paved away large part of
the flooring and had eaten everything
in reach.
The cows and other live stock we're
also in a starved condition. Mr. Dow
nes summoned another neighbor, Slo-
cum Barker, and they set out to find
Mr. Murphy. They soon came upon
his body in the potato field, with his
hoe and basket beside him. He had
evidently been dead since Saturday.
The body was badly decomposed and
was taken to the undertaking rooms of
Haussler & Sons. Mr. Murphy had
been staying alone several days, his
wife being away on visit.
The deceased was 62 years old and
native of Ireland. He came to this
country in 1868 and settled in Hoosick
Falls

Mrs. j. F. Lewis, wife of j. F.
Lewis boiler maker of 223 North

knew that my kidneys were
either weakened or over excited
but what to do to check the
trouble let alone stop it was a
mystery. A dull pain in the
small of the back was often
quite severe and during a very
severe attack | happened to
read in paper about Doan,s
Kidney Pills. This was some
three years ago and | sent to
Omaha for a box. 1t proved to
be an excellent remedy, differ
ing from anything else l had
ever employed. The treatment
stopped that particular attack.
Since then | have appealed to
Doan's Kidney Pills when SYM
ptoms of a recurrence showed
themselves, and on each and
every occasion Ihave stopped
them in the early stages. No
one need suffer from backache

Bsa Coed Thing fsr s,c. ,'a..ey

We are informed that a band
concert will take place on the
street next Tuesday evening.
We take great pleasure in
announcing this event as these
concerts have been very pleas
ant diversions and which should
be literally patronized by our
people. We are also informed
that if the boys meet with sub
stantial encouragement they
will continue these concerts all
summer. Dunlap citizens, and
merchants in particular, should
see to it that these concerts be
continued, not only to help the
band boys out, but they have
proved to be a great drawing
card in other towns where they
have been given. We under
stand that 5000 has been raised
in Woodbine for this purpose,
during the summer and Dunlap
should do as we'll. Dunlap Re-
