CASTOR OIL IN PILLS

Most every one has an impression
that the coil" In Castor Oil is the
general that routs the enemy of man
kind, constipation. This has been
proven to be erroneous: and If we
stop to think this impression should
never have been entertained, for If the
coil" had this property, any other oil
would do as we'll. But lard oil, whales
oil, or animal oils will not act on the
bowels. Ever think of that? We learn
that it is the nauseous, acrid part
icles in Castor Oil which nourish the
bowel-nerves and thus relieve consti-
stipation. The only way to take this valua-
BILE medicine and get the effect without the
taste Is to ask your drug gist for a sweet lit
tie pill called Blackburn's Castor-Oil-Pills
Mr.. Blackburn controls the manufacture OF
this wonderful new remedy and 1t is sold by
all leadiDg druggists In ten and twenty -five
cent packages 1t is stated that this new
remedy is pleasurable in its effect on the
bowels, and Is recommended for old and
young

MONROE DOCTRINE
Affirmed by the Senate In Resolutions
of Ratification Which Passed.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
late this afternoon ratified the general
act adopted by the powers at the AL
geciras conference, had to determine
matters arising from the disputed con
troll of Morocco. 1t made a part OF
the resolution of ratification, reso.
luton of affirmation of the Monroe
doctrine. This resolution, which has
now become a part of the general act
by specific stipulation, declares that
the participation by the United States
in the Algeciras conference was with
the sole purpose of preserving and
increasing its commerce in Morocco,
the protection of life, etc., and of aid
ing by its friendly offices, in removing
friction which seemed to menace the
peace between powers signatory with
the United States to the treaty of 1880.
1t concludes with the declaration:
"And without purpose to depart
from the traditional American foreign
policy which forbids participation by
the United States in the settlement by
political questions which are entirely
European in their scope" The reso.
luton of affirmation was prepared by
Senators Spooner, Lodge and Bacon to
meet the objection of the latter and
his Democratic colleagues, which for
over year has threatened the life of
the treaty. A three hours debate pre-

that was not painted black It looked
very much as If there had been a
big rumpus. Part of the bar was
smashed and the broken bits of wood

were several bottles on the floor and
there was big hole In the boards,

Staenla Jack Rescued Dog.

A small black and white dog be
longing to Frank Mancini was rescued
from the Milestone brook gorge, just
below the falls, Wednesday afternoon
bv "Steeple Jack" " Cavanaugh. The dog
had fallen over the bank several days
previously and had managed to crawl
out upon a rock where he attracted
the attention of some newsboys by
barking. The boys fed him on sand
wiehes lowered on string. The dog $
position Just below the falls where he
was constantly wet by the spray and
chilled by the cold was not altogether
a pleasant one. Cavanaugh, after fas-
tening rope to the railing, lowered
himself to the rock where the dog was
and fastened the rope around the dog
which was pulled up by some boys. The
rope, was then lowered again and CaVa'
naugh, who is a steeple climber by oc'
cupation, himself climbed up. A cheer
was given by the crowd which had
gathered to watch the rescue as Cava'
naugh appeared above the railing. No
one knew at the time who was the
owner of the dog and so he was given
to passerby who departed with the
animal for parts unknown The dog
was small animal of more or less
doubtful pedigree and his owner was
the small Italian boy who has the boot
blacking stand just below Henry H.

CLAIMS PATENT INFRINGEMENT.
coasting Device Invented by Former
Resident Sold by Boston House.

Harry GRAY of this town, represent
ing the heirs Of Peter 7. Perrault who
lived in Brattleboro for short time
previous to his death a year ago, was
In Boston last week TO Investigate the
manufacture of coasting device call
ed the Sno-bike, which has been adver-
tised and sold extensively by the
Henry Seigel company. The Sno-bike
is built on the principle of the old
fashioned jumper although the single
runner has steel shoe and the con-
trivance is otherwise strengthened ami
improved. Mr.. Perrault secured pat
ent on a coasting device of this sort
Aug. 80, 1904 and before his death put
a considerable number of them on the
market. although i'll health prevented
his pushing their manufacture to the
extent he had intended
Several weeks ago Mr.. Gray noticed
that the Seigel company was advertis-
ing the exclusive selling rights of a
Sno-bike similar in construction to that
patented by his fatherin-law and I'M
medately wrote the concern, lnqulrlng
by whom the device was manufactured
and stating that he held the patent
rights. Soon afterward he received a
letter asking him to call at the otilce
of a Boston attorney and he did so last
week. At that time he learned that the
device was being manufactured by a
concern in Woonsocket, r. l., known as
the Sno Bike Manufacturing company
and that patent had been applied for.
When Mr.. Gray told the Boston lawyer
about Mr.. Perrault's patent he was
asked if he would be willing to sell his
rights or to accept royalty on every
bike manufactured or sold. Mr. Gray
accepted neither Of the propositions,
however, because he is anxious to have
the bikes manufactured by company
of local men who are interested in the
project. He has placed the matter In
the hands of his lawyer, F. E. Barber,
and it is not unlikely that legal steps
will be taken to prevent what looks
like an infringement on Mr.. Perrault 8
patent. :,
The main features of the bike sold
by the Seigel company and that pat
ented by Mr.. Perrault are identical.
Mr.. Gray showed model to some
Woonsocket manufacturers about year
ago and thinks they adopted the idea
without knowing that it was patented.
A number of the bikes have been sold
bv Mr.. Gray in this town and are used
by children whenever there is good

Alaskan Fox Shot in SALISBURY.

David Galusha, SALISBURY fox
hunter, has two fox skins which have
attracted much attention. One of the
skins is that of cross-fox'', the pro-
geny of a common red fox and a black
or silver gray. Specimens of this ny
brid are not uncommon in northern
New England, but the skin possessed
by Mr. Galusha is an unusually tne one
the entire back being dark gray with
no brown markings. The other skin is
that of an Alaska blue fox such as are
raised for their fur on the Aleutlan
islands in Bering sea.
How the animal ever found its way
into Vermont is a mystery and can
be accounted for only in one way.
Several years ago several of these foxes
were brought from Alaska to Randolph,
and presented to farmer who put
high wire fence about tract of wild
land with the intention of raising the
animals for their fur. One or more of
these animals may have escaped and
wandered to SALISBURY to fall victim
to Mr.. Galusha s gun. The fur IS about
the color and texture of plucked beaver
but is longer and not so firm.

tween the tender and the first box
ear TO uncouplc the two. He took out
the coupling pin and the engine went
ahead about two feet. Engineer lior-
ace Meachum, who was at the throttle,
thought there was too much STRAIN

connection and so backed his engine.

in between the coupling blocks to oreak
the air hose and was caught between

TO have it amputated. He died soon
after reaching the hospital.

BRA1TLEBORO, VERMONT, FRIDAY DECEMBER .s 1906.
SERIOUS FIRE AvERTED.
Blaze in Peel's Foed Company Store
house Quelled by Prompt Work.

Prompt and effective work by the lire
department Wednesday night checked
what gave promise of being bad fre
in the plant of the Peel s Remedy com
pany. The entire force of the company
was working late at night to fill AN es-
pecially large order and one of the men
went into the store room to get out II
barrel of tar which was to be used the
following day. A few minutes later u
smell Of smoke was noticed and exami-
nation disclosed blaze which was ra-
pidly gaining headway. After some de-
Law an alarm was sent in and the hre
department with engine number and
the chemical responded in record break
ing time. The store room is in the rear
of the blacksmith shop of William
Searles and the windows and doors of
the shop were smashed to get a hose
in position to play on the fire. The blaze
was quickly under sontrol and the re-
call sounded shortly after lilo.
The loss of the Peel's company will
be considerable. A large amount Of
stock was ruined by smoke and water
and new stock will have TO be secured
before some of their orders can be
filed. The building in which the lire
was is owned by Henry r. Brown. The
loss is not extensive and is fully cover
ed bv insurance. The Peel S company
is also insured. 1t is thought that the
fire was started from a snap-mateh
head. The man who was in the room
inst before the fire was discovered af
terwards stated that he thought he had
stepped on the head of match as he
heard something snap under his foot as
he was rolling ont the barrel Of tar
hut thought nothing of it at the time.
The contents of the room were ideal
for starting fire, consisting of bar
rel of crude petroleum, another of tar
and a large amount of excelsior which
was to be used in packing the wares OF
the company.
The delay in sending in the alarm
was due to the fact that X. w. Suth-
erland. proprietor of the Peel s Remedy
was unable TO call the central
telephone Office to get the alarm rung
from there. After several unsueeess-
full attempts to get central James Lii
lis was despatched to ring box 30 at
the engine house, but just as he reach
ed there the alarm was rung from the
telephone exchange on a message sent
from Brown S livery stable.

Rendering Company Deposits Fine.

The matter of securing the $4,000
fine imposed on the Consolidated Rem
dering company at the October term
of Chittenden county court for con-
tempt has been adjusted by the deposit
with the Chittenden County Trust COM
pany of the $4,000, to be held pending
the final disposition of the case. The
deposit was made by r. E. Brown, at
torney for the company.
The Consolidated Rendering company,
which owns and operates the plant of
the Burlington Rendering company,
was adjudged in contempt October 81
for not having produced before the
grand jury of Chittenden county all of
the books, accounts, etc, called for IN
that body's investigation of the sale of
diseased meat. The contempt case has
since passed to the Supreme court on
exceptions and it is likely that the
litigation will be a prolonged one The
deposit of $4,000 is security for the fine,
pending the final decision.
