THE DR.. WAS
IN A CYCLONE

DR.. h. n. Alsworth. the physician OF
Purvis, Mississippi. writes interest
ing details about the cyclone that de
vastated that section. We quote
II suppose you saw a notice in the
papers that we had a cyclone on the
24th of May. 1t swept our little
town about off the earth. Thank
Providence, my fanny and self came
out alive, but my drug store was
swept to the winds. We are picking
up slowly. / found four bottles of

other physicians had given up (kid-

on the Renal Compound and she is

"B n. Alsworth, NJ. L"
How can people who have any kind
on the old futile kidney patents when
the census deaths show that ninety
two out of every hundred of them
passed out from form of the disease
that was incurable up to the date
that Fulton worked out his Renal
Compound?
Due to the futility of the old-time
kidney medicines, the kidney deaths
now number one every nine minutes.
Isn't there room here for serious
reflection for the man who is on his
way to the drug store for a kidney

board of health all it wishes to. The
state board is amply able to take care
of itself especially when it has right
on its side as it has in this case. We
are somewhat surprised though at the
attitude of the Journal.
No longer ago than last winter, 1--WE
can give the date and the names of
those present if the Journal desires)
the editor of ne Journal stated public
ly that he thought the county ought
to build a new jail in Bennington as
the present one was unfit for use.
Now that the state board of health
agrees with him he pitches into the
members of the board. Does the
Journal have one opinion for it's Man
chester readers and another for out
of town friends?
The whole story is this The state
board of health, which is an impartial
tribunal, has said that he pres
ent building is unfit for use. To put
it in proper condition necessitates
buying more land which would render
the cost fully equal to buying a new
site and building new Instead Of
facing the question fairly and trying
to help the county settle the question
fairly and honorably in public spirit
ed and decent manner, the Journal
paws around it's same old hole trying
to stir up dust enough to blind the
citizens to the real issue.
The assistant judges who are the
custodians of the county property are
limited by law in the amount they
Ecan spend in repairs. All the money
available for years has been spent in
trying to keep the old building in
decent shape but in spite of the thous-
ands of dollars spent the property has
been steady going down hill until it
has got to point where the state
board of health is going to shut it up
and forbid its use unless radical i'm
provements are made, Tne question
is what is the county going to do
about it?
1t is of course evident to us now
that the county was buncoed in all
directions when the present building
was erected, some forty years ago.
The county was buncoed when it
bought a site so small that the build
ing cannot be enlarged an inch in any
direction 1t was buncoed when it
bought a site 50 low that the natural
drainage from surrounding land is
into its basement 1t was bun
coed wnen it allowed Jail to be pun
into the cellar OF the courthouse. 1t
was buncoed when it allowed its
county building to be shut in by sur
rounding buildings so that sunlight
and natural ventilation are not avail
able. 1t was buncoed when it accept
ed building entirely unsuited for the
purpose for which it was intended
rhe present generation of Benning
ton county voters are not responsible
for these faults But we shall be re
sponsible if we do not correct these
grave abuses. The Banner still hopes
that the public spirited citizens of
the north shire of Bennington county
will cease their endeavors to stir up
a county row. The south shire people
only ask for fair and decent treat
ment. 1t will cost the north shire
less in money and be infinitely better
for all the people of all the county TO
accept gracefully and in friendly
fashion wat is bound to come in
some way within a few years. Why
not be just fair and treat us as you
would like to have us treat you were
the proposal reversed?

How long your light summer clothes
last depends not on how. much they. are
worn, but on how often they are washed.
That is, if they are washed in the old-fash-
Toned way.
If they are washed with Fels-Naptha
in cold or lukewarm water, the washing
won't harm them bit.
Boiling hurts any clothes, but it is par
ticularly hard on hgh stuffs, such as sheer
linens, lawns, laces and muslins-rots the
fabric SO they will tear easily. And hard
rubbing on the washboard wears them out
and trays them.
You avoid this by washing the
Fels-Naptha way in cold or lukewarm
water. Boiling and hard-rubbing are I'M
necessary, because Fels-Naptha diSsolveS the
dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying
by light rubbing and thorough rinsing.
Then, too, the clothes are cleaner,
whittier and sweeter, as we'll as longer-wear-
ing.
Be sure to follow the easy directions

SUPERIOR COURT.
Damage Suit for ss,ooo for Alleged Ae- oident at Fiteh's Crossing on Mont vile Trolley Line.

Judge Silas A. Robinson reopened the superior court in this city Tues day, the business of the present term having been finished at Putnam last week. The civil case of M. E. Lin coin, administrator of the estate of John M. Martin vs. the Connecticut company and the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad Co., was called for trial.
 The complaint alleges that on Octo- Der 25, 1907, in Montville, a south bound trolley car struck a four horse team belonging to John M Martin the wagon being loaded with ties at the time. All the horses were badly injured and were not able to do any work thereafter; some died and the others had to be killed. The har- nesses and wagon were broken and destroyed. MT. Martin spent $250 for medicines for the horses and was without the use of them for four months, when they either died or were killed. The value of the horses was not specified in the complaint, but damages of $2,000 are claimed from the trolley company. The accident occurred in the town of Montville at what is termed Fitch's crossing.
 The administrator, M. E. Lincoln, Is represented by Attorneys George w. Melony and Donald G. Perkins. The Connecticut company is represented

NEWS LETTERS FROM BULLETIN REPRESENTATIVES

by Attorney c. E. Searls assisted by Investigator Shepard of the defendant corporation.
 MT. Lincoln, the first witness, show ed a map of the crossing in Montville and the surroundings. It was claimed that 1t was actually impossible for the driver of the team to see the car, as the view of the track at that point was obstructed by a house and high bank stone wall. Mir. Lincoln stated that MT. Martin had told him that he valued the lead pair of horses at $500 and the other pair at about the same figure. The wagon was badly crushed and the harnesses broken so that they were of practically no use. The horses never sufficiently recovered after the accident to be able to be worked and failed until they died or had to be killed.
 Clinton c. Rood. called as the sec ond witness, testified that he worked for MT. Martin for twelve or fourteen years. Was at work with four horse team for him at Montville; the other four-horse team, driven by MT. Vanness, was ahead of him in the road and when he came up the wagon was across the track and smashed up. The horses were badly scratched and bruis- ed. They were taken to a barn where they were boarded. It took about an hour to remove the pile of ties and clear up the wreck caused by the ac- cident before the car could proceed. Mir. Martin had refused an offer of $500 for the pair of leaders some time before the accident After the acci- dent the horses could not be used and Dr. Dow doctored them. An effort was made to work the horses, but 1t proved unsuccessful and when they lay down it was almost impossible to get them to their feet again.
 On cross examination witness stated that one pair of the horses went back to Montville and that the pair of lead CTS drew some ice during the winter that followed the accident.
 Dr. B. K. Dow testified that he had treated the horses that were injured. On the Sunday following the accident he had seen the horses at MT. Martins barn in this city; in all he saw them on four different occasions. Knew that three of them died, but did not know about the fourth one.
 The death of the first occurred on the 27th of January, the second on the Fist of February. and that of the third on the Sth of March. He said that he did not prescribe for the first horse, but the other two grew poor and weak and seemed to suffer from a sort of paralysis. Witness said that

The True Measure of ths Man.

The Waterbury American sums up an appreciative article upon the late O. R. Fyler in the. following felicitous words:
 'Tn all his personal relations MT. Fyler was pleasantly human on the best side-hospitable to his family friendly with the neighbors, public spirited in his town, wise in his party. faithful in the service of his state, loyal to his country. The men he worked with fin politics have been &C., customed of late years to speak of him as the "old man." He seems all too young even at 69 to be taken on so suddenly in the midst of work and plans"
 And after all what Mir. Fyler was at home in his own town. in his neigh borhood and in his family could not fail to be very much the true meas ure of the man, for there amid those surroundings and in that environment year after year. the real man would be developed and shine out. MT Fyler was born in Torrington and nat withstandlng his large interest outside in his various activities. had always lived there and been identified with the place. Torrington knew and sp- preciated him and he was an honor able and dutifui son and cItizen.- Bridgeport Standard.

 It is a cheap concoction and fraud, intended to deceive the people.

 Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely pure distillation of matted grain, great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predgested liquid food in the form of malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stim- ulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatabiiy and freedom from injurious substances render 1t 70 that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.
 Any firm that will sell imitation or substitution goods will sell impure goods. The firm that is dishonest in one thing would not hesitate to be dishonest in another.
