Chauncy Drown of Barton, formerly a
telephone lineman. has brought suit for
$4,000 damages against the New England
Telephone & Telegraph company and the
Consolidated Lighting company of Mont
pelier. Drown came in contact with the
live wires Of the Consolidated company at
Graniteville May 4, 1905. He claims the
top OF his head was so badly burned that
a portion Of his brain was exposed that
he lost his eyesight and was otherwise
injured. Drown alleges the companies
are liable because the wires OF the light
ing company were only ~ inches above
the wires Of the telephone company and
were therefore so located thar a workman
could not ascend the pole and work in
safety.

An Earlier Train from Springfield Through
Brattleboro.

A new movement has lately been started
for an earlier morning train from this
city to Brattleboro and Bellows Falls, VT,
and it is certainly to be hoped that it will
be successful this time. Such a train
has been needed for years. The first
train from this city now reaches Brat
tleboro at HOP a. M, leaving here at
9.1O. There is a train running north at
tbs, but 1t only goes to South Vernon.
What is wanted is a train reaching Brat
tleboro between and 8. This could be
secured by extending the first train, now
leaving here for Northampton at 6,25 a.
M, through to Brattleboro. The present
appeal to the Boston & Maine manage
ment is made by the boards Of trade of
Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Greenfield and
this city in cooperation, An earlier train
would help the business interests of all
Of these places materlally.-[City news,

PILLS

and all annoying symptoms will
soon disappear. They settle the
stomach, regulate the liver and ex-
ercise the bowels. Their good eff
fects are felt Immediately.
Beecham's Pills mingle with the
contents of the stomach and make
easy work of digestion. The nour-
ishing properties of the food are
then readily assimilated and the
residue carried off without irrita-
ting the intestines or clogging the
bowels.
Beecham's Pills should be taken
whenever there is sick headache,
furred tongue, constipation, sallow
skin or any symptoms that indi-
cate an inactive liver.

ton, OF that city, lost forty.one years
ago, at the time of the explosion of

silver watch, which was in a pocket of

such characteristics as to be easily

WEIGHING THE MAILS.

The Test for Fixing Compensation for Mail
Service Based Upon Fraud.
It is announced that some time this
spring the government will weigh the
mails west Of the Missouri river for
the purpose Of fixing the compensation
the railroads shall receive during the
next four years for carving the mails.
The weighing will occupy about 100
days. The railroads will be paid for
four years on . basis of what is car.
ried during the test period. This
plan makes it easy to pad the mails
during the weighing period. It has
been charged time and again that dur
ing the mail weighing season the
mails have been loaded down With
public documents sent out under con.
gressional frank and shipped from
point to point, weighed and reweighed
time and again during the weighing
season. That the payments made to
railroads for transporting the mails
are responsible for the deficit in the
postal department is we'll known.
Forty millions OF dollars are paid
every year to railroad corporations for
mail service. Pound for pound the
railroads charge 500 per cent. more for
mail carrying than they do for express
carrying, and instead OF furnishing
cars as they do to the express compa.
nies, they charge Uncle Sam q rental
for the mail cars that annually equals
the cost OF the cars, and in many cases
exceeds it.
