Bucklin if he did not know that since
Feb. II he had never seen Quinn at
the place and the officer replied that
he could not say.
"Didn't you know that Mr. Quinn
was in Jail through February and
March:' inquired Mr.. Beane
1.-THE first time l ever met him was
in JAIL.
Deputy Sheriff George r. Vickery
Of Hallowell testified that he searched
the Quinn place twice since Feb. r.
The first date was about a week before
the seizure was made April 8. On the
occasion of the first visit to the place
Quinn was standing outside the build
ing and afterwards went into the place
At this time he found three or four
hides, one containing several empty
bottles
Deputy Sheriff Frank J. Ham of Au-
gusta was called as witness by the
State and presented a copy of the o.
s. retail liquor dealers stamp held by
Quinn, which was admitted by the de-
Tense. The defence called several Hal
lowell men, VINO We're in the Quinn
place at the time the raid was made
at which the bottle of liquor was
secured.
George Anderson of Hallowen testi-
fled that he was in the Quinn place
reading the paper. When he looked
up from the paper he saw an officer
take a quart bottle away from Cole
man or kid Shea as he was called.
Quinn was not in the place.
George c. Emery of Hallowell testi-
fled that he knew kid Shea and had
seen him spar in the ring. He did not
buy a drink of Shea while he was in
the shop.
Emery S. Gilley of Hallowell testi-
fed that he came into the place to sec
Quinn but did not find him. He did
not hear any bottles break while he
was there.
Charles S. Beane of Augusta testi-
fled that he saw no liquor purchased
while he was in the place. He was
near the bar and saw the scutf1e be-
tween Shea and Bucklin. This was the
first and only time he had ever been
in the shop.
William T. Quinn took the stand in
his own behalf. He testified that he
had been given Jail sentence for
liquor selling by Judge Maher of the
Augusta municipal court and since he
left Jail, March II he had sold no in
toxicating liquor and had none about
the place. He had told his clerk Ne
Gowan, to have no liquor around the
shop and had requested him to see that
no one left any bottles about.

out the educational advantages of a
continental tour besides the mere
pleasure of such a trip. Taking Nj

their inhabitants, scenery and histor-
ical points of interest, besides touch
ing upon other cities less interesting.

idea of the beauties and quaintness OF
these cities noted for their historical
surroundings and fine scenery.

lures of different cities and reproduc-
lions of famous paintings, mementoes
of her trip, were exhibited and added
to the interest.

Celebration
FINAL SUBSCRIPTION $4,000
Pledges Made Sunday Leave Less
Than $1,000 Due on New Metho-
dist Edifce
FINAL SUBSCRIPTION $4,000

Last night the weeks celebration in
the Methodist church came to a
close with the conservation service by
! DR.. Thomas Nicholson OF New YORK
City, before crowd that filled
/ the house to the doors and occupied
the Sunday school rooms. In the
morning a subscription of over $4,000
was taken to finish the debt.
In the evening DR.. Nicholson
preached one of the best sermons that
has been heard in Bennington for
many years. The pastor and people
of the church wish to heartily thank
all those who have contributed to the
splendid success of this celebration,
and to the successful elimination OF
this large undertaking.
The choir when is TO be the perma.
nent choir of the church has been
faithful and gave excellent service.
| lie orchestra has augmented the mu-
sic most efficiently The people have
given increased interest to the last
and opened wide their pocketbooks to
the liquidation OF the debt. The
speakers on the program have meas
ured up a high mark in pulpit oratory
without a single exception.
The week has been 'one of great tri-
umph and closed with the church
practically out of debt Less than
$1,000 remains to be provided for. If
ever a church had occasion for gem
uine Thanksgiving, that church
stands on Main street in Bennington
with as good equipment for all purpose

section.
May LIST, the church people were
discouraged, the church unfinished
and under a great burden of debt and
it was commonly said that this gen
Grafton would never see the church,
paid for But what hath God
wrought" Six months have passed
and the church finished in most
complete and pleasing style and mere
than $4,000 has been raised in good
subscriptions much of which has
been paid and all the bills for finish
ing paid as work was completed.
The organ recital Friday night by
the choir was a very telling feature of
the week and drew one of the largest
crowds in attendance during the cele-
DratlOn.
The church has seen so years of
history and has experienced steady
growth. 1t now passes one of the
mile posts in the events of its life
that win mean larger possibilities in
advancing the Masters Kingdom. To
this end the church wishes to take
her place among the sister churches
of the town, churches so splendid in
architecture and equipment that Ben
nington may well be called the little
model church city
The church has cost about $4,000
and there is full value received in
modern church equipment. Bishop
Berry dedicated the church on Tues
day. Nov. %. in very fine and attrac-
tive service. Dr. Nicholson consecra-
ted the church last night after his
great sermon in a most appropriate
and impressive manner.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The Nicara-
guam insurgents are engaged in what
is expected to be the final grapple
with the Zelayan forces, according to
unofficial advices, reaching Salvador
Castrillo, the representative here OF
the Nicaraguan insurrectionary for
ces. The advices indicate that fight
ing is in progress both at Rama and
Greytown, and that a general assault
on Managua, the capital, will follow.
The arms and ammunition unloaded
early this week from the Norwegian
steamer Utstein are believed now to.
be in the hands of the insurrection-
lists.
The department of state last night
declared it had received no advices Of
any kind from Nicaragua. All inquir-
les as to the landing of marines we're
met with evasive replies, such as to
give rise to the belief that some force
has been put ashore to protect Amer
lean interests and to reconnoiter.

ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or Indiges-
ton go Five Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome q
sour, gassy stomach five minutes af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
5O-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it
maks Indigestion, sour stomach, heart
burn and other distress go in Eve min
utes and relieves at once such miser-
les as Belching of Gas, Eructations of
sour, undigested food, Nauso "a, Head
aches, Dizziness, Constipation and
other stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion aad Dys-
pepsia or an out of order stomach
with the common everyday cures adj
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong or believe theirs is
a case of Nervousness, Gas,ritis, Cat
arrh of the stomach or cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead. II ferments
and sours, turns to acid Gas and Sto-
mach poison, which putrefy in the di-
gestive tract and intestines, and, be-
sides, poison the breath with nause-
GUS odors.
A heart appetite with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin.

MRS. JOHN WRIGHT
HUNT HERE BUT
NO PRINCE
Wealthy SOutherner's Wife Who
Ran Away With Russian
NO HOPE OF RECONCILIATION
Husband Has Instituted Divorce Pro
ceedlngs and Does Not Desire to
See His Wife Again.

New York, Nov, 29.-Mrs. John
Wright Hunt who caused a stir in
Paris last summer by clipping with a
chance acquaintance describing him
self as Prince Teherdiadieff, said to
be a cousin of the Car, arrived here
yesterday morning on the French lin.
er, Touraine. Either today or tomor-
row she will go with her father to
Brookfield, n. Y, there to live a while
| at least on the farm where her father
Iraises Shetland ponies. That is her
present plan, subject however, to any
changes which her husband may
bring about Mrs Hunt herself does
not expect that her husband who is
a wealthy Southerner, has any idea of
a reconciliation.
Mr.. Hunt arrived here from France
on Friday on the Cunard liner Maur-
etania, and at that time II was report
ed that he had instituted divorce pro-
ceedings here. When he left the
Mauretania Mr. Hunt said to the re-
porters that he hoped he would new
er see his wife again
Mrs Hunt had nothing harsh to say
of her husband yesterday. In fact.
she had nothing at all to say regard
ing her escapade in Europe, nor of
the reported divorce proceedings in
Paris. Mrs. Hunt was DESTROYS only
Of getting away from reporters and OF
reaching her fathers farm.
AS for the Prince, nothing has been
heard of him recently. Whether he
will follow Mrs Hunt on later steam
ship has not been ascertained. but it
is said to be unlikely, as neither the
Prince nor Mrs Hunt is supposed to
be overburdened with money.

RESIGNATION OF
REv.F.R. MORRIS
ACCEPTED
In Order to Remove All Care
From His Shoulders
TO AID HIS RECOVERY
Reluctant Congregation Accedes to
Request of Its Popular and
Beloved Pastor

The Baptist church on Sunday
morning voted to accept the resigna
ton of Rev. Frank r. Morris as pas
tor. They did not wish to accept but
reluctantly did so because they
wanted to take from his should
ers every burden of care and re-
sponsibility that could in any way
interfere with his recovery.
Mr.. Morris is undergoing treatment
at a sanitarium at Binghamton, n. Y
He is not confined to the bed and is
able to read, walk about and write
letters and for this reason has deyot-
ed more attention and interest to his
parish here in Bennington than his
PHYSICIANS thought was best for him.
Accordingly he rendered his resigna-
ton and it is accepted with the great
est regret and only in the hope that
it may aid and hasten his recovery.
1t WIS unanimously voted to pay Mr..
Morris a half years salary in advance
in appreciation of his work here. His
resignation takes effect at once but
no haste will be made in filling the
vacancy In the meantime Rev. r.
NJ Martin will remain in temporary
charge of the church.
Rev. Frank r. Morris has been pas
tor of the Baptist church for eight
years and never was il more prosper
Gus and progressive than during his
pastorate. During this time, new
Sunday school room costing $1,000 has
been added and fully paid for, the
membership of the church has been
increased and. its work in its home
field and its contributions TO mission
airy efforts have been steadily enlarg-
ed.
Mrs. Morris will go this week to the
home of her parents to remain during
the winter or until Mr. Morris recov-
ers his health sufficiently to resume
work.
