vile again for game tomorrow.
The Printers planned to go to Will
mington Saturday, but the game was
cancelled or Friday owing to the ep-
idemic of mumps.
Claremont shut out Keene to 0 at
Keene Saturday. The game was called
at the end of the sixth inning on &C
count of rain, and at that time McDuffie
the Dartmouth twirler who was here
with Claremont had held Keene without
a hit or run.
Keene has backed down on the propo-
sition to come here for two games Fourth
Of July. Manager Riley has been fortu-
nate in securing the strong Baldwinsville
club for the holiday. Baldwinsville is
faster than Keene, and has won from
Athol, and Athol in turn has disposed of
both Keene and Millers Falls. Good
sport is assured when Baldwinsville
strikes town.
Brattleboro high school lost to Bel
lows Falls high school in a loosely play
ed game at Barber park Saturday. Bra
sor was wilder than at any time this
season, but his support was poor. Ev-
erleth was in the box a part of the game,
while Fifield and Lawlor were between the
points for Bellows Falls. Brattleboro
was weakened by the absence of some
of the regular players. The score:

The Bradford team with which Davey
is playing continues to lead its league.
One of Daveys recent exploits was to
shut out James Collopy's team from
Kane, Pa, 6 to 0. Three hits were made
of Davey, who is known in the league as
the Senator" The Bradford Evening
Star said: There was nothing to it yes
terday but Jimmies pitching. The
Kanes never had a glance. James was
present with speed, curves and control
and everything else by which a chucker
EARNS his daily bread, and to use a
stlctly original expression Kane was
helpless in his hands" Dayey scored one
run and a hit in this game Collopy
played in left field for Kane.

Lost Woman Probably Perlshed in the
Mountains.

Mrs. Lucy Lord, so, of Monroe, Mass.
who left her home four weeks ago, is sup
posed TO have persisted from starvation
or accident in the mountainous country
of Bennington county across the Yer
mont border. No trace OF the woman has
been found although hunting parties
have been through the woods repeatedly
On one Sunday over 60 people of Reads
boro Joined in the search. Mrs. Lord
had been mentally irresponsible two or
three years. On the day that she left
the home Of her husband, Edward j.
Lord she appeared at the house of George
Davis in South Readsboro, and started
from there across the fields to the home
of a neighbor with whom she was ac-

WORK WEAKENs THE KIDNEYS.

Doan's Kidney pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work In Brat
tleboro.
Most Brattleboro people work every
day in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a desk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing labori-
Gus Homework; lifting. reaching or pull
ing, or trying the back in a hundred and
one other ways. All these strains tend
to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they fall behind in their work of
altering the poisons from the blood
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
put new strength in bad backs. Brattle-
boro cures prove it.
Harry N. Holland, teamster, of p
Canal street, Brattleboro, VT, says: "I
had serious trouble for over a year from
a deranged condition of my kidneys. If I
caught cold or brought too much strain
on the muscles of the back the pains
across my kidneys would be very severe.
The trouble became so bad that I could
not sleep but turned and twisted the
whole night long. Learning about Doan's
Kidney Pills I went to F. H. Holden's
drug store for them. Three boxes Of
this remedy ended all the trouble in
my back, and since then. no matter how
hard I work, have only once or twice
noticed a slight pain in my back and
that soon passed away

OWN VALUABLE INVENTIONS.
Tests Made with the Green Mountain In.
destructlbIe Carbon Manufactured in
Readsboro


II. E. Taylor has returned from Reads
boro. VT, where a test of the Green
Mountain indestructible carbon was made
last week Among those present were
Moses Newton of Holyoke, Landlord Fred
Paradise of Stamford and Mr. Smith Of
Texas The carbon, which is the inven-
ton OF Truman Sharks, is made of crude
oil and is to be used for lighting and
heating purposes. 1t is claimed to be
practically indestructible, and consequent
~ superior TO any other carbon Mr.
Sharks has been granted a patent and
there Is talk of forming a company to
manufacture the carbon. The test was
very successful
An electrical furnace for smelling and
precipitating ores, on which Mr.. Taylor
has been working for some time was
also tested and those present were great
ly pleased with its work The hardest
ore ootalnable was melted like lead The
Green Mountain carbon is used In con-
necton with this furnace, as no other
would stand the heat required. Ry this
process the minerals found in ore are
pIecIpltated oy electricity, and Mr.. Tay-
lot claims that by its use he can extract
every particle of any mineral from any
KIND or ore. He will take one of the
furnaces with him when he goes to Mex
leo In the fall to visit the San Bias gold
mine again. e1
Moses Newton has used the Green
mountain carbon in his dynamo at Reads
ooro and says it results in a great saving
OF energy. While the old carbon requires
~ volts this requires but so, and less
light. eu iOi
MI Sharks and Mr.. Taylor feel that
Ihey nave two very valuable inventions,
ana an EFFORT will be made to place them
on the market. They are convinced that
electric lighting and other kinds of work
uohe oy electricity will be revolutIonized
by the introduction of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
