 George Flint, 72, formerly of Wales, died suddenly Nov. 3Oth at the home of E. T. Tories in South bridge, where he had been living for the past two months. The funeral was held at the Congregational church in Charlton, Sunday, at ? p. m., of which he had been a member for nearly 50 years. The burial was in that place. He leaves two brothers and four sisters, Wm. Flint of Mon- son, Everett Flint of Boston, Mrs, E. B. Fiske and Mrs. D. E. Butler of Springfield, Mrs G. w. Cummings and Mrs. A. F. Pepper of this place.
 The jury in the case of Herbert A. McF Farland against Charles F. Craw- ford, both of this town, in a tort action for $500, returned a verdict Thursday noon in the superior court of $162 for the plaintiff. The feature of the morning session was the final argument for the defense given by defendant, who conducted his case alone. He argued that the plaintiff should have taken means early in August, 1905, to defend his property and crops that were alleged to have been damaged by the defendants COWS, instead of allowing such depre- dations to go on for weeks. He de- clared the plaintiff, in bringing this suit against him, was trying to work off grudge, as the plaintiff had formerly brought several suits against him. He concluded his argument by showing how excited he was at the time of the assault and how he struck the plaintiff with short club when infuriated by the injustice of being tracked by the plaintiff and several of the latter's assistants. The jury deliberated some time before awarding a verdict.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED

fact proves it to be disease Of the blood.
It il necessary, therefore, to treat it

give temporary relief from pain but as

the pain will return, perhaps i'll a new

cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.

chinist. "Several years ago." she says,
"I was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
stant pain and sometimes the affected

dollars, imperatively demanded more
room and better business facilities.
The new building is a landmark, not
only In the progress of the company
but in the growth of Denver and the
expansion OF its wholesale trade. The
company's business, which is increas-
ing all the time, covers all the states
and territories west of the eastern line
of Colorado and Wyoming, and Old
Mexico and British Columbia as well,
employing five active commercial traV-
elers. The business has quadrupled in
the last six years.
C. r. Root, the manager. under whom
this increase has been accomplished,
has been with the house for sixteen
years, and has every detail of The busi-
ness thoroughly in hand. What Is
more, he has the confidence of his
customers and the respect of his en-
ployes. But Herman Warnecke is the
Nestor of the company. having been
with it for twenty-six years as asso-
ciate manager and cashier. Although
past the allotted threescore years and
ten, he has lost no jot OF his efficiency
and has a strong hold on the old
patrons of the house.
The new building. which is devoted
to wholesale seeds only, has about one
third of an acre of floor space in its
five stories. 1t is thoroughly up to
date In its elevators and chutes for
handling goods. which are unloaded
and loaded directly from and into the
freight cars. Its facilities for loading
into wagons and drays are equally
good.
On the fifth floor, which has an al
most perfect system of ventilation,
there are now seven carloads of onion
sets. On the fourth floor are many
carloads of grain and grass seeds. and
among the stock on the third floor is a
carload of Kentucky bluegrass seed.
Provision is made for recleaning seeds
by the latest and best styles of clean
ing mills.
On the second floor are the almost
numberless varieties of vegetable and
flower seeds. On this floor are the
large and well appointed Offices of the
company.

FOR ADVERTISING
CAN RAILROADS PAY IN TRANS.
PORTATIoN?
TEST CASE WILL BE MADE
Ruling Of Interstate Commerce Com
sion to Be Brought Before Supreme
Court Railroad Lawyers Hold
That Advertising Contracts Are

Court = Railroad Lawyers Hold
That Advertising Contracts Are
Good.
Chicago.-The Supreme Court Of the
United States is to be asked to pass
upon the question whether a railroad
company can issue transportation in
exchange for advertising In newspa-
pers. A test case is to be made in ILL
nois, or rather an opportunity be given
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to have the courts pass upon their
ruling that nothing but money can be
lawfully received or accepted in pay
ment for transportation.
Shortly after the new rate law went
into effect the question came before
the commission. and that body decided
that only money could be accepted.
The justice of this ruling was not seen
by the legal department of the Monon
railroad, and George Fitzpatrick. the
general counsel. and E. C. Field, the
general solicitor, wrote to the Iuter
gave their construction Of the law.
backed by decisions of the courts.
They said they had carefully consid
cred the law before the PRONUNCIATION
of the rule, and under their construc-
ton of the law had entered into con.
tracts In good faith with publishers for
the publication of time cards, etc, and
for the payment of such services in
transportation at the rate fixed by the
Monon's duly published tariff, which in
every instance was the exact equiva-
lent of the agreed price for publica-
ton.
The law, they said, nowhere provides
that payment for transportation shall
be in money. and it must therefore fol
low that the freedom of contract as be-
tween a railroad and an individual is
precisely the same as between other
citizens. II this be true, they went
on to say, 1t Is difficult to understand,
when one does a service for railway
corporation under contract made in
good faith an1 for an agreed consid-
Grafton, admittedly fair. that the par
ties may not mutually stipulate for the
payment in anything but money. To
hold otherwise. they urged, is to deny
the freedom Of contract to particu-
lar class. The rule, as universally
stated and upheld by the courts, is:
what the parties agreed shall con-
stitute the payment, the law will ad-
Judge to be payment. 1t Is competent
for parties to designate by their con-
tracts how and in what payment may
be made. 1t is by no means true that
payment can be only made in money;
on the contrary, 1t may be made In
property or in services"
The inhibition, they added, against
charging greater or less or differ
ent compensation" relates alone to n
difference In the established rate"
and not to the manner of making
payment.

They were walking along on Grand

story of steel sleyscraper building.
The old man stopped as If he'd run
against something. He turned his eyes
in the direction of the sound but
could make out nothing. When he
turned to his bewildered nephew his
eyes were fairly popping.
