Miss Anna Toczek and jolly time
ut her home on Sunday afternoon,
afterwards spending the evening
pleasantly at the home of Frances

Mary.

Rev. Father Bonska were it not
for Rev. Father Lehecka and Rev.
Father Ferik, who do not hesitate
to sacrifice their precious time to
come and give Instructions, tor
which we extend our sincere
thanks.
We all remember that we left
John Sykora under the willows
the last time we saw him. But
now we meet him in different sur
roundings. He has shown his de-
termination not to stay in the
back ground and has come to the
front again, especially in history.
His very spirit is on the battle
fields with Washington and Green
his eyes sparkle as if he were
welding the sword and fighting
for the liberty of our country.
Had we more such patriots in our
class history would become an in
tensely interesting study.

Rufus saw the learned justice who. less
than two weeks before, had passed SEN
tence upon him, a scowl mantled his
countenance and the old fire, which has
not been subdued by half year In Jail,
cleaned from his eyes. Rufus Is not n
very prepossessing looking fellow and
If the writer had ever given him
cause for dislike he would have been
very glad indeed should he be riding in
the same car with him, to think the
man was in shackles. There would be a
feeling Of security. Rufie's ideas OF
right and wrong are somewhat dis
torteG and he would be an unpleasant
man to meet on n dark night.
But for the next 10 years at least,
the permanent address of Rufus will be
known and that fact must tend to
cause the deniZens Of Happy Hollow to
sleep soundrr nights. Rufie was a little
too strenuous, even for West Athens,
where, like the BOwery, they do such
things and they saw such things"
The final parting between Rufus and
his child wife. Sadie was pathetic. In
fact Mrs. Brown, when it came time to
say goodbye for the last time. broke
down completely. They kissed each
other and with wave Of the hand
Rufie was off for Thomaston, while
Sadie went back to her cell and her
favorite corn cob pipe.

LEAVES FOR STATES PRISON.
Rufus Brown, Jr., Starts to Serve 20
Years for Manslaughter.

The September term of the Supreme
court for Somerset county adjourned,
finally, Friday afternoon, soon after the
jury in the case Of the State VS.. Hoyt
returned its verdict Of not guilty. The
session was Of 16 working days and
there were but three jury trials Of civil
cases, two jury trials of criminal cas-
es, and the hearing of Rufus Brown,
Jr.. which was before the judge. Many
cases were continued, others We're en-
tcrd neither party and some We're nom
suited. The matter Of Otis "A. Reed,
the self confessed criminal, who, ac-
cortling to his now famous confession,
set fire to the hotel at West New Port
land has been continued. 1t is said
that he will come up for sentence at the
December term.
Their are many rumorS floating
around in regard to this man Reed 1t
liz; said that he cannot be held on the
Indictment returned against him at the
grand jury at the present term of
court. Had an Indictment for arson
beer returned against him it would
hav- meant life in state prison had he
been convicted. But he has had an in
dictlnent returned against him under
a statute which fixes the sentence at
from one to 20 years in state prison. If
he told the truth on the witness stand,
he did not burn those buildings because
he wanted revenge on Capula May
KirShner, but because she engaged him
to burn them and his reward was TO
have been her hand in marriage, just
as soon as he could have obtained a
divorce from his wife. But, taking it
for granted that his story is the true
story Of the affair things didn't come
out just as he ana Cappy thought they
were going to.
Less than four hours after he set the
FIRE he was in the hands of the Farm
ington sheriff. Later he was ar
raigncd on the charge of arson. then he
made this confession, the grand jury |
fails to return an Indictment of arson
against him. and now he is back in his
old cell in the Somerset Jail. 1t is I'M
derstood that his case was continued by
agreement between his counsel and that
of the state. At present just what will
eventually become of Otis no one APP
parently knows. But one thing is GER
tain. we will know all about it cary in
the new year.

"Out of friendly curiosity | wrote to
the proprictors of the remedy asking
for information as To what the tablets
contained and they replied that the
principal ingredients We're asccptic pep
sin government test malt diaStase and
other natural digcstives, which digest
food regardless Of the condition of the
stomach.
The root of the matter is this. the
digestive elements contained in Stu
arts Tablets will digest the food, give
the oVcrWorkci stomach chance TO
recuperate ana the nerves ana whole
system to receive the nourishment
which can only come from food.
Stimulants and nerve tOniCs never give
real strength, they give fictitious
strength, invariably followed by reac-
ton. Every drop of food. every nerve

daily food, ana if YOU can insure its
prompt action and complete digestion
by the regular use of so good and
wholesome 4 remedy as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, you will have no need
Of nerve tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years, probably every druggist in the
United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trouble.
