ATTACKED BY DRUG FIEND
G. 3. Evans Of Waterbury Has Thrill
ing Experience.

Waterbury, Oct. 2O.-G. b. Evans,
we'll known business man and prom
inent democrat, was attacked in his
home Monday night by Fred Strong,
a man of so years, who has twice been
committed to the state hospital rs
victim OF the morphine habit and twice
discharged from there as cured
Strong, who has been about town sell
ing essences, walked into Mr.. Evans
house tonight at 1880 and asked for
change for a $40 bill. Catching Ey-
ans off his guard, Strong struck him
with a sling shot made of woman S
stocking with a stone in it the size Of
goose egg. Mr.. Evans, although Go
years old, grappled vigorously with
his assailant and called for help Pas
sers-by came to the rescue and Strong
was finally knocked out
Mr.. Evans had two lacerated
wounds on his head and Strong was
well battered up before subdued He
was placed in the lookup and on be
ing searched was found to have a
dirk knife in his inside vest pocket.
He will probably be taken to county
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury.
It. appears that Strong is a well ed.
ucated man and that he taught high
school in the west for is years His
wife has relatives in Waitsfield and
he was first committed to the state
hospital from Berlin in October, 1903
as a morphine fiend. and discharged
from there as cured in February
1904 He was again committed to
tne asylum for the same cause Sep
TENDER 90, 1906, and again discharged
as cured January Z, 1907. His ex
penses at the asylum were paid by his
| friends. 1t is understood that he has
tried to commit suicide. He came
here last month to canvas and yester
day in conversation with Dr. d. d.
/ Grout. superintendent of the state
hospital, appeared to be well.
Mr. Evans was a delegate to the
national democratic convention al
Denver. He was not acquainted with
! Strong. The wounds inflicted by the
latter will not prove serious, it is be
! lieyed.

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Sauses consumption.

The post norton statistics OF the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases OF consumption are due
TO unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predlsposcd TO
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears ont the body and
brain. the weakened. irritable stomach
Is unable to digest food the body does
not receive the required nourishmcnL
constipation ensues and the victim be-
comes thin. weak and haggard. As a
result the body becomes a fertile Held
for the germs OF disease TO lodge and
flourish.
Therefore the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindercd Is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment OF one OF the most insidi-
Gus and fatal diseases known to man.

schoolboy Athletics.

A rising barometer Is reported from
the storm center of school athletics,
the twin cities Of Washington county.
The seminaries and high schools in
Barre and Montpelier have arranged
a four-cornered agreement which is
signed by four principals and which
contains the following provisions.
Article mo day student who re-
ceiyes a reduction in tuition shall be
eligible to an athletic team.
Article 2.-Students going from one
school to another shall not be eligible
to represent the school to which they
go until they have been bona fide
students for one year
Article "a graduate of any school

represent any other school on this
list.
Article 4.-This agreement shall 90
into effect at once, affecting all athlet-
les excepting the foot ball teams of
the season of 1908.
The news that the controversy has
been settled will be received with
satisfaction by people in the state
who are connected with the educa-
tional institutions and especially by
the residents of the two communities
involved With the faculties SO
thoroughly involved in wrange, as
was the case with the two seminar
les, the real objects for which parents
are sending their children to these
institutions must have been seriously
neglected.
1t must, however appear to many
people that athletics have reached

stomach juices.
II the muscular walls are 1abby and
lack tone and energy. the stomach
cannot Churn the food properly and
the digestive juices are not properly
mixed with the food.
This causes indigestion. The com
mon symptoms are; weight and full.
ness after meals, coated tongue, bad
taste In the mouth, discharges of
wind from the mouth, and belchng of
sour material
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by TAX
