cision Saturday with regard to the af-
fairs Of George r. Murdoch, the New
Boston (town of Thompson) woolep

sets OF S140,772.10 and liabilities OF
$1S3,051.6l
The decision Of Referee Bowen rela-
tive to a claim of S. Rawister g. COM
pany Of New York has been overruicd.
The claim was originally one aggre-
eating $2,937.50 for merchandise, but
later 1t was moved to amend by fixing
the sum at $35,3SS.30.. The question
that was at stake was whether or not
a claim could be amended two months
subsequent TO one year after the ad-
Indication The referee decided that u
could not and therefore petition was
subsequently filed setting forth an er-
ror in the first petition, alleging that
the amount of 5,38S.30 should have
been added to the original sum, maxi
ing total of s3S,325.50. The referee
ruled that the right to prove this claim
was barred by statute.
The United States district court,
through James P. Platt, judge, how
ever. now orders that the claim Of S.
Rawister e. company be amended and
that said company is entitled TO $3S,-
$3.50, the amount of their final claim
A difference of so per cent in the
dividends to the other creditors will
be made by this decision, and instead
Of receiving Z per cent they will now

Talk On the Stomach

The stomach and digestive organs
are many times the cause Of some
disease, which might have been pre-
vented, IL these organs had performed
their natural functions. and the great
variety Of symptoms which arise
from a disordered condition of the
stomach and liver, cause many people
to think that they have some awful
disease. The consequence OF which is.
that they DO nothing for their
stomach, but doctor for some other
trouble. A poor acting stomach and
liver wills cause headache. backache,
nervous troubles, distress after eat
ing, bloating. sour stomach, heart
pressure. insomnia, loss Of flesh,
constipation, and many other dis
agreeable feelings. II you are a
sufferer of any trouble and your
stomach or liver Is out of order. cor
rect these troubles first get the bene-
fit of the food you eat. and your trou-
bles will many times correct them
selves. Stomach Rite, the combinec
stomach and liver remedy, has an I'M
euualed record of many remarkable
cures to its credit, and when you need
a stomach remedy. get the best, rem
edy that gives results, not promises
that's Stomach Rite. One 50-cent box
will quickly convince you of the true
worth OF this medicine. There is moth
ing just as good-insist on Stomach
Rite.

MILL WALL
Removed to Permit Connection with

Saturday afternoon the work of
tearing out section of the north wall
of the main mill of the Danielson Cot
ton company was begun. The section
to be taken out is the entire width of
the building and from the first floor
level to the third floor level. The wall
is removed to unite the main mill with
the new addition, making two depart
ments extending from Main street
along Maple street to the Mrs. limo
thy Dunn property. The roof on the
new addition is practically completed
and a greater part of the machinery
to be used in that part of the mill is
in place and running.
Old Alarm Bell Confusing.
1t has been suggested that it would
prove wise plan to place the ropes
attached to the old fire alarm on the
tower in the rear of the Minnetexit
hose company building, out of reach
or detach them entirely. Ringing this
bell simultaneously with the signal
from the fire alarm telegraph system
makes it exceedingly difficult to count
the box number and proves confus-
ing. The new fire alarm system also
indicates the general location of the
fire, whereas nothing whatever can be
told about location when the old bell
is used.
All Business Suspended.
