THE CURE IS lasting.
How Or. David Kennedy's Latest Medicine,
CaI.cura Solvent, Cured Mr.. Eldridge.

Let the people speak for themselves.
Praise from those who have been cured
is praise indeed, and comment would be
waste of words. This is what Mr.. H.
W. Eldridge, of Cherry Valley, N. Y,
writes to the manufacturers of Cal-cum
Solvent, DIR. Kennedy's neao medicine,
DR.. Kennedy Row, Rondout, N. Y.
"Geatlemen.
az should like to tell you, in few
words, of the good Cal-cura Solvent, DIR.
Kennedy's latest medicine, has accom-
plished in my case, one of kidney trouble.
"Before / took Cal-cura Solvent, my
urine was of brick dust color, and
there was always a sediment of a red
dish tinge. 1 then procured a bottle
of DR.. Kennedy's new medicine, and
after giving it thorough trial l noticed
that the sediment gradually disappeared
and the urine became clear. 1 have not
taken any of the Cal-cura Solvent for a
long time, and no sediment has appeared.

IDENTITY Must Be Proved.

! By a decision of Judge Aldrich OF
the United States circuit court. hand
ed down Friday, March 81, the New
Hampshire authorities will be required
| to prove that a man claiming to be
Henry Edward Moebus. now in the
state prison at Concord. is Max Soho
burn, the famous bank robber.
Moebus or Schoenbein is serving
the last part of a ten-years' sentence
imposed in 1865 for the robbery of the
Walpole n H., national bank, which
sentence was interrupted by his re-
markable escape from prison, after
nine months Imprisonment.
Schoenbein. as the New Hampshire
authorities call him, was brought to
New Hampshire five years ago at the
expiration of four years in Dannemora
prison, for robbing the Middleburg, n.
Y, bank Since his arrival at the Con-
cord prison he has steadfastly main
tanned that he is Moebus, and not
Schoenbein. In February this year his
counsel presented a petition for habeas
corpus proceedings on the ground that
the prisoner was detained without
warrant of state or federal laws. That
petition was denied but an amended
petition has now been granted and the
warden of the prison where the pc
titioner is confined is required to show
cause why a writ of habeas corpus
should not be issued. Few of the state
who were concerned in the
trial and Imprisonment of the Walpole
bank robber are now alive.

Mr.. Miles's Sermon and the Ciroum-
stances Which Inspired II.

Rev. II, II. Miles, pastor OF the Cen
tire Congregational church and one of
those actively engaged In attempting
to put out Of business the establish =
ment of +. c. Gale a company on the
island, took for the subject of his SER
mon last Sunday, The Guilt OF lndiifcr-
ence. Among other things he said.
AN effort has been made To clean
our streets by petitioning the New
Hampshire license commissioners to
close the island saloon, To deter any
lattempt To interfere with that saloon
the licensee has told the manager of
the high school bah nine that the nine
would have to find another place to
practice If the principal of the high
school had signed the petition of re-
monstrance against the island saloon.
The licensee has spoken out and nam
ed his price. our boys shall not play
bah on the island unless their fathers
are silent about the saloon there. The
licensee has given warning that the
principal of our school must keep his
convictions to himself or we must
provide IA new playground for our
boys. As the principal Is not at hand
to say whether or not he signed the
petition the boys have been told that
they may use the ball grounds on the
island until he returns from his va
cation.
Let US rejoice that there has been
plain speaking I'm Brattleboro to make
those who are determined to carry on
the liquor traffic here. despite the fact
that the people have said they do not
want 1t. feel that 1t is time to muzzle
somebody"
The manager of the high schood
baseball team visited Mr.. Gale last
week to ascertain If the high school
athletic association could have exclu
sive use of the ball ground on the ISL
and on certain dates for games and |
practice. According to Mr.. Gales |
statement to Reformer representa-
tive he told the high school manager
that the boys could practice baseball
on the island all they pleased but If /
the games which they were TO play l
and for which they intended to charge |
admission were to be of any financial II
benefit TO Principal Whitaker, rent
would have to be paid for the island II

iale further stated that he was will

manner has won many friends who
will miss her in this position
Walter d. Adams has a fine collec-
| ton of shells, minerals and other
curios. We doubt if there is in the
state another such display outside of
the colleges. The collection has been
obtained at quite a large expense from
all parts of the world. Every article is
catalogued and arranged in a fine
case. Mr.. Adams has also two large
chairs and one table made almost en-
tirely from the horns of cattle.
Numerous letters from old residents
indicate that they are all depending
upon Old Home week in August,
agreeably TO the unanimous express
sion made in 1900. F. w. Childs, with
characteristic generosity and public
spirit, offers to place Memorial hall
at the disposal of the public on that
occasion free of all charge. The prin-
cipal outlay will be cornet band for
the day, the expense of which can
doubtless be raised by subscription.
In view of the fact that Wilmington
was the originator of the idea of an
Old Home week, in 1890, it would GER
tainly seem strange to see any lack of
interest in this direction.

IN keene had been cancelled by Brat
tleboro at about . o'clock A specla
! train had been chartered, the hal
rented posters printed and other eX-
penses amounting to about $50, In.
Cured.
An interview with Manager H. w
Condor of the local A. c. brings out
these facts; At 11:45, or two hours
before the game was cancelled, he had
n talk with March, who Is managing
the Independents during j. IL. Aliens
absence, and II was plainly understood
by both that everything was In readi-
ness for the game, Then at about
o'clock Frank Waite, treasurer and
half owner of the Independents, called
up with n great tale of VICE. saying
that Ellis had sprained his knee, Riley
was sick in bed, March had hurt his
hand land that before IL o'clock
Doran was I'm Troy, n. Y, and Howe
had rheumatism.
1t looks as though the Brattleboro
aggregation We're afraid of getting
trimmed but that they should have
waited until six hours before the
game before cancelling 1t is not eX-
actly clean sport. After this exhibit
ton of nerve Brattleboro certainly
has no claim to the state champion
ship having been beaten two out of
three by Company ID. If the latter re-
fuse to play the return game with tn,
A. c., which they should do, having
agreed 10. then the local team has u
clear title to the state championship
II is up to both the St Johnsbury and
Brattleboro aggregations to put up

If state league had been formed at
the beginning of the season as should
have been done, then all this scrap
ping would have been avoided and the
settled before the base
