Charged With an Attempted Break at
a BrattIeboro Store

Brattleboro, Nov. 16.-Francis Deyo
aged 10, and George Fecto, aged l6,
both living on Elliot street, were ar

were given a hearing in the municipal
court before Judge E. w. Gibson and
bound over for the April term of the
Windham county court in $500 each.
r. c. Deyo, father of Frapcis, recog-
nized for his sons appearance while
Carl Schorling recognized for Fecto.
The defense in both cases attempted
to prove an alibi while the state pre-
scented witnesses who claimed to have
seen the boys in the act of forcing an
entrance into the store This attempt
is one more in the long series of petty
burglaries which have been going on
in Brattleboro for nearly two years.

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia to Be a Pre-Disposing
Cause of Consumption

The post norton statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due,
at least indirectly to unchecked dys-
pepsia, especially when the victim was
predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened irritable stom-
ach being unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment and the victim becomes
thin, weak and haggard. AS a. result,
the body becomes a fertile field in
which the germs of disease may lodge
and flourish.
Therefore the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most insidu-
GUS and fatal diseases known to man
kind.
Dyspepsia may be completely Grad
icated if properly treated. We sell a
remedy that we positively guarantee
will completely relieve indigestion or
dyspepsia, or the medicine used dur
ing the trial will cost the user moth
ing.
This remedy has been named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no of
fer could be more fair and our offer
should be proof positive that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable
remedy
lnasmuch as the medicine will cost
you nothing if it does not benefit you
we urge you who are suffering with
indigestion or dyspepsia to try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. A 25-cent box
contains enough medicine for fifteen
days treatment. For chronic cases
we have two larger sizes, so cents and

WANT TERM RATES
Hratteboro Business Men Get After
the Insurance Companies

Brattleboro, Nov. 1.-THE business
men of Brattleboro and especially the
owners of the business blocks, have
been making inquiries of the insur
ance underwriters and among them
selves relative to a term rate of in
surance on their property in place of
the annual premium payments now
in vogue, and as a result of the distur
bance the matter will probably be ia
ken TO the board of underwriters for
Windham county.
Not only does the term rate affect
Brattleboro, but it also strikes Bel
lows Falls and the larger towns
throughout the country In brattle-
boro it has been the custom for the
owners of the large business blocks
and commercial property to pay their
insurance premiums annually, while
in other counties in the state owners
have been given the benefits of a spe-
cial term rate, and these by paying
their premiums for a term of three
years in advance, have been given the
advantage of a five year term, while
in Brattleboro It has been necessary
to pay the premiums for the entire
FIVE years.
When it was known that the term
was not in force in Brattleboro this
being discovered a short time ago in
connection with the investigation of
the insurance committee of the Board
of Trade an effort was made by the
local underwriters to have the term
rate put into effect, although in 1905
term rate for this county had been
proposed and entered At that time
through an agreement between the
Windham county underwriters, the
term rate was held off. providing the
tariff rates should not be advanced as
at that time rates throughout the east
were advanced owing to the great San
Francisco disaster.
AT first the matter seemed one Of
seriousness to the Brattleboro bust
ness men and ii appeared that they
had been mulcted to the extent of
many thousands of dollars, but after
conference between property own
ers and insurance men, a satisfactory
conclusion on the matter was reached
and the local underwriters will at
tempt TO have term rate placed in
force for this county, and have taken
immediate steps to place the matter
before the governing board Of under
writer's.

An informal meeting of the board of
directors of the North Adams base
bali club was held last evening Those
who attended stated that there was
nothing to give out to the public but
it is understood that the financial con
dition of the association was discuss
ed. 1t is believed that Manager Fla
herty hopes TO secure shares in the
club to make up for a part of his sal
airy, all of which he did not receive
last year.
THE financial conditions of the
club do not appear to be very flour
ishing, for, it is understood, in the
neighborhood of 5000 is owed. Man
ager Flaherty hopes to cover this de-
felt by selling new stock and also the
advertising on the fence at the
grounds.-North Adams Herald.

BASEBALL IN NORTH ADAMS
Directors Meeting as Reported by
Two NeWspapers

Following are the reports of re-
cent meeting of the directors of the
North Adams Baseball association Ia
ken from the two newspapers in that
city:
Eight of the eleven directors of
the North Adams Baseball association
were present at meeting held last
night at which Manager John II. Fla
herty presented a most satisfactory
financial report of the seasons bust
ness, despite the handicap OF bad
weather which baseball suffered to
great extent this year.
There is one item of receipts
which Manager Flaherty has satisfac-
torily arranged from which a final re-
port is expected daily. When this re-
port is received the report will be
made public at once. II shows a very
satisfactory condition of finances as
after paying all bills there will be
balance in the treasury to open next
years season.
There will be no assessment of
stockholders necessary, which is
something of business showing,
when it is remembered that the CAPT.
tai of the North Adams association is
$4,000 as against $4,000 for the Pitts
field association which closed the sea
son with a sizeable deficit.
This. too. despite the handicap of
10 games cancelled on account of rain,
six home games and four away from
home games, and upon top of this L
days upon which home games were
held, were so cloudy and threatening
that the attendance at these games
was materially interfered with

The persistence and spread of
scarlet fever in this community leads
to the suspicion that light cases are
not reported by heads of households,
and thus allowed to spread infection.
The undersigned will pay ten dol

leading to the conviction of any head
of a household or other person named
in the Sec 5454, Public Statutes of

And this penalty extends to unreport-
ed cases of whooping cough, diph-
iberia, measles, chicken-pox, etc.

BENOERNAGEL
 IS ARRESTED WAS ARRESTED FOR coNsPlRiNo TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERN
 MENT BY WEIGHTS.
Has for More Than Thirty Years Been Highly Connected With
 Sugar Companies.

New York, Nov. 12.-After months of quiet work by government inves- tigatOrs, there came suddenly today the indictment and arrest of an inn portant former officer of the American Sugar Refining Company, charged with conspiracy to deflaud the gov ernment by false weighing of sugar.
 The man arrested is James Bender nagel, for more than thirty years su- Cerintendent of the Havemeyer & Elder Refinery in Williamsburg. It is regarded as significant that Ben dernagel's resignation from this re- sppDsible position was, announced by the company only yesterday.
 When arraigned before United States Commission Benerict, Bender nagel gave 5000 bail for his appear ance at an examination next Monday.
 The indictment returned against Bendernagel is of the blanket variety including in it's terms also the SO. called ''big sixv-Oliver Spitzer, Thos. Kehoe, Edward A. Boyle, James NJ. Voelkeq, John R. Coyle and Patrick U. Hennessy, all of whom have been previously indicted on similar charges. The six were Bendernagel's assoei- ates in tho capacity of agents and boss weighers at the Williamsburg plant
 The specific charges against Ben delnagel are that he defrauded the government out of duty to the amount lof $1, 1,694 in connection with tine false entry of dhe nine million pound sugar cargo of the steamer Eva, which ar rived from Cuba on August 24, 1907. More than 100000 pounds was clipped off the real weight of the cargo ac- coHding to the indictment
 At one point the indictment relates the old charges made against four members of the so-called ''big six al legged the use of fraudulent devices on the dock scales to short weigh su- gar for the purpose of avoiding GUS toms charges. It was said in connee- tion with these charges that the gov erpment last spring recovered $2t34,. 900 in duties and penalties.
