WEST CORNWALL.


JUDGE GEORGE CHANDLER HARRISON
 In the death of the Hon George Chandler Harrison, which occurred February 25, at ssPlainview, his home near this village, Cornwall loses one of it's prominent and influential citizens; and one which it will be hard to replace; whose positions of public trust, centering as they did in one in- dividual, will be problem to fill. Succeeding his father to the office of judge of probate for the district of Cornwall, in 1878, he has held the same with the exception of two terms up to the date of his death, he being elected to fill the present term, not withstanding the knowledge that be- fore it's end he would be disqualified by age, having reached his 10th year. For a number of years, Judge Harrt- son has been town treasurer; has been trustee of the Methodist society; and in connection with John E. Calhoun and David L.. Smith has for the past Is years, held in trust the S25, 1000 fund of the Housa tonic Valley Institute at Cornwall. He also represented his town in the General Assembly, early in the '7O's, and was a lifelong demo- crat. The name of Harrison has been, from the founding of Cornwall, one of the most respected, and is identified with it's prosperity, the first of that name coming from Branford in 1762, and Judge Harrison's death is per sonal loss to large circle of friends. George Chandler Harrison was born in 1840, son of John Rogers and Elenor Bradford Harrison, and married, when quite young man, Mrs Edward
 White, nee Rebecca Todd, who died in 1902, and about two years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Caro- line Wells of Waterbury, Vermont, who survives him. He is also surviv- ed by six children: One son, John Rogers Harrison, who occupies the home farm; Cynthia, wife of F. A..
 Monroe of New Haven; Catherine,
 wife of H. D. Whitney of Hartford; Gertrude, wife of A. K. Harrison of
 Winchester, Mass; Mabel, wife of H. l. Arms of Bristol; and Miss Char lotte A. Harrison, nurse of Milford. All of his children, and many other relatives were here to attend the fu- neral, which was held from his late residence, Thursday of last week.

AT midnight. Thursday, Fred. Caster,

man Dan Davis 10 death in Columbus.
o., June, 1905, was executed in the
electric chair
Half fainting. Caster was led from
the death cell by the guard and sup
ported by FIR. Kelley, the prison chap
lain. The braggadocio of the past IA
months had disappeared and he spoke
in a weak voice as he thanked the
warden and others about him for their
kindness. The straps were placed on
his legs, arms and head and the cur
rent turned on 10 a voltage of $50.
then II was lowered to $50, then turned
on again TO the first power and kept
there for several minutes When the
physicians examined the body Casters
iOul had hed-and the law was expiat-

Casters mother brother and two
sisters had arrived from Flint during
the day and visited the condemned
man in his cell twice. He told them
that he realized that his time had
come and that he had received spirit
ual consolation from FIR. Kelley's min
istrations. The aged father did not
come to see his son again, but wrote
pathetic letter 10 Gov. Harris which
brought tears TO the eyes of the aged
governor. but he could not see the pro-
priety OF granting a third reprieve, es
pecially after he had communicated
with Mark Stevens, OF Flint, one Of
Casters attorneys, who could not give
assurance that the case would be car
ried TO the supreme court. even il the
necessary money was forthcoming
The fathers appeal was as follows:
Please respite my poor boy and
give him chance to have the United
States supreme court review his case.
The supreme court judges of Ohio dis
scented at first hearing. Do not send
him 10 death without fair chance.
Have mortgaged my home and am
making an earnest effort TO raise funds
with every prospect of success
A message was received from Mrs.
II. G. Loufborow. of Mt Sterling, a
widow with $500 IN the bank, who only
heard of Casters plight through the
newspapers, but she offered to put up
all this amount. if necessary, TO save

PERMANENTLY CURES

Remedy.

Mr.. C. M. Bartholomew, of Kalkaska,
Mich, was a sufferer in 1886 with
what all, including physicians. called
Brights Disease of the Kidneys. Doc
tors said there was no help for him.
AS last resort he used Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. The
symptoms disappeared and he was
permanently cured by this great rem
edy. His case was a remarkable one
and attracted great attention. Now,
in 1906 go years after Mr.. Bartholo-
new writes that he confirms all that
he said in favor of Favorlte Remedy
in 1856, and again endorses its use.

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers should Make This Up and
Try II Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription. it is supposed. be-
cause of its promptness in driving
from the blood and system every yes
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is harmless. inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

SAD RETURN.
Miss Braidwood Not Informed OF the
Murder Of Her Mother.

Unaware that her mother was MUIR
dered in Flint January 81, by Frank
Green, and that indirectly she was
the cause of the crime, Miss Bertha
Braidwood, with whom Green was in
love, returned last night from Cananea,
Mex, TO which city her parents had
sent her TO Illustrate the love affair on
the part of Green.
Miss Braidwood has been visiting
former residents of Flint, now at Ca
nanea, and they did not deliver the
message sent to the girl I'm their care,
believing IL would be better TO keep
her in ignorance of the real state of
affairs.
A letter from her father brought
Miss Braidwood home When the story
or Green's murderous assault and the
subsequent successful attempt on his
own life was related to Miss Braid
wood she bore up well. She refused,
however, to enter the house where the
fatal shooting took place, the family
having removed shortly after the
murder. The girl absolutely refused
10 talk of the friendship between her
self and Green.

Other Sect.

A union between Voliva's followers
i'm Zion City. the Flying Rollers OF
Benton Harbor. Mich. Los Angeles,

ject TO clothes, even in the winter.
Oyerseer Voliva said that he objected
to anyone wig does not consider him
the divinely appointed successor of
Dowie.
Canadian climate is proving to be
too much for the advocates of the
fig-leaf doctrines. The Flying Rollers
think their sect thrives better on the
Pacific coast than in Michigan. Four
teen congregations have revolted
against Voliva's one-man rule.
When it became known that Voliva
had visited the Flying Rollers at Ben
ton Harbor the charges of alliance
with outsiders took form and shape.
Even some of Voliva's own followers
are frightened.

The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, n. d., and published
by Prof. +. +. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
IL has been shown that kegs marked
pure White Lead often contain other
substances such as chalk. barytes,
silica, ETC., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes, so
called White Leads" contain not an
iota OF genuine White Lead.
The farmer is large user OF paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint
buver to buy intelligently.
