The blood which flows through our

healthy red blood corpuscles which are
capable of warding off the attack of

notified by the selectmen to desist, he
broke into the building and continued
to use 1t. Finally the town brought ac-

that was defaulted. There is no record
of any deed Of the land to the school
district though 1t has been occupied
since 1853, and therefore, Mr.. Prescott

district attorney, and he cannot d.
vulge it's contents. Mr.. Sanderson says
that he is not i'm a position to say what
is contained in that report.
1T was net poison" says DR.. Per
ley.
1--WE are working on the case" said

home She had been ill there for about
Il week, although able to walk about
the house. She complained of stomach
trouble.
on Thursday night, she had DR.. Pro-
vandie called. He at once declared the
symptoms to be most dangerous and
called in DIR. +. F. Pike. They then
called upon DR.. Brewster of Boston.
The diagnosis of each physician was
the same, that Miss Crane suffered
from some dangerous internal aiment
which would result in her death.
Miss Crane died at IL o'clock, Thurs
day night. On Friday, the police put in
an appearance, the medical examiner
was called in. and by his orders the
body was removed to an undertaker's

process of reproduction. After we have

then it is our constant labor to out
