appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase she quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.

Tuesday evening six boys alighted from a freight train just east of the Westerly station, for the purpose of "laying over' until tie next freight train came along.
 They were on their way to meet a Mestbound train when they were spot ted by Chief Bransfeld and Sergeant Brown. The boys ran and there was ns lively chase through back yards in the vicinity of Pleasant street, which resulted in the capture of four of the boys.
 At the police station they gave their names, ages and addresses as fol- lows: George Farley, age Is, of 1S6 Brown street; Thomas Sullivan. nough, 13, of 161 West Sixth street; Jehn McGuinness, IS, of 182 Brown street; all of South Boston.
 According to the story of the boys a party of nine of them were permit ted to enter a box car in Boston by a man who said he was brakeman on the train. In the car there were some thirty men and boys. At Prov idence, the South Boston boys got out of the freight cars and slept in pas senger cars on siding.
 Tuesday morning they jumped a west bound freight train. Frank Mill CT fell and the toes of his left foot were crushed by a car wheel. He was cared for by a brakeman and sent back to his home. The captured boys said that two of their comrades were with them in Westerly, but they did not know what became of the two others.
 The boys declared it was the first time they had run away from home, and were induced to "see the country" Dy a Charlestown young fellow named McDougall, the chap taken from the front end of a blind baggage car in Westerly several months ago.
 The four boys seemed penitent and declared that if permitted to return home they would behave themselves and never again attempt to steal a glide on a railroad train. Chief Bransfield notified the parents, sug gesting that they call for the boys and take them home, or a place would

Railroad Tracks Flooded, Roadbeds
Washed Out, Culverts Carried
Away and Trains Held Up.

Boston, aSS.-Swollen by heavy
rains of Wednesday and yesterday
and by the melting of the lingering
remant of the winters snow on the
northern hillside, all the streams of
New England assumed freshet proper
tions yesterday and the high water in
some of them caused much damage.
Railroad tracks were flooded roadbeds
washed out, culverts carried away,
trains held up and factories forced to
shut down in various parts of north
ern New England.
The worst conditions were reported
in Vermont and New Hampshire
around the head waters of the Con-
Eecticut, Merrimac and Androscoggin
rivers. Some apprehension as to the
rapid rise of the water was felt also
at points along the lower reaches of
these rivers, where great industrial
plants are located.
In Brattleboro, Vt. the water
reached the highest point there ever
recorded. The Brattleboro Electric
Light Co had to abandon temporarily
it's main power plant Several manu-
featuring plants in st. Adams, VT,
were forced to shut down and the troll
ley lines were tied up. Three wash
outs near Roxbury, VT, delayed
through traffic on the Central Vermont
railroad. A passenger train from Bos-
ton to Montreal was held up near Rox-
bury by washout, and later by a
landslide. All trains on the Maine
Central and the Grand Trunk
in the vicinity of Colebrook, n. H.,
were held up by washouts.
