POWER ON TAP APRIL /
Storage Basin Of the Big Dam viii No
Doubt Be Filled Before That Date

Brattleboro. Jan. 9.-Henry !. Har-
riman, general manager of the Con-
necticut River Power company says
it is the expectation of the company
to be able to furnish power to some OF
its customers by April l. This means
that the storage basin will have to be
filed within the next three months,
and it is probable that the company
will take advantage of the early
spring floods to do this. How long 1t
will take to fill the basin is a matter
of conjecture but with the river at
freshet height, it ought not to be a
matter of more than a few days.
The rain of the early part OF the
week brought a rise of between I'VE
and six feet in the river at the dam
site but the work is so far advanced
now that nothing in the way OF high
water can interfere with its progress.
Work on the power house is going
along rapidly and the contractors ex
pect to begin to install some of the
machinery the latter part OF next
week. The openings in the spillway
left to take care of high water VIII
probably be filed in month or SIX
weeks

MINISTER IS NOW
SUSPECTED OF
MURDER
Remains in Michigan Church
Those Of Gideon Browning
J. H. CARMICHAEL MISSING
Minister Thought to Be Victim Now
Sought as Perpetrator Of Shock
ing Crime.

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. BY
means of two false teeth it has been
definitely established that Gideon
Browning, carpenter of Adair village
was the man who was butchered last
Tuesday evening in the little Rattle
Run" Methodist church in Columbus
township.
With part of the mystery which has
enshrouded the brutal crime thus
cleared, the supervisors of st. Clair
county Immediately offered a reward
of $500 for the arrest of Rev. John H.
Carmichael of Adair, pastor of the lit
tie church, and the man who was at
first supposed to have been killed, dis
membered and then burned in the
church stoves, thus becomes the al
legged murderer
He is man over six feet tall, weigh
ing more than 200 pounds, and the de-
scription says: Both legs have been
broken, and he walks with a decided
limp Both his feet turn out notice
ably, one at an angle of As degrees.
He has a scar on the upper lip and
another on the side of his nose. His
eyes are light blue or grey There is
another scar on one of his legs be-
low the knee. When he disappeared
he wore his brownish beard closely
cropped at the sides. The beard and
his hair, also brown, showing little
gray, had been recently trimmed"
Strenuous efforts to discover some
motive for the destruction of the car
penter by the minister have proved
: fruitless. Rumors that Carmichael
had been seen crossing the St. Clair
river into Canada, could not be zorro
borated. An officer sent to st.
Thomas, Ont, reported no trace Of
him there.
The wife and daughter of the min
lister were examined yesterday by the
prosecuting attorney here, and he
stated afterward that he was con
WINGED that they knew nothing of the
murder nor the mans disappearance
A statement by Mrs. Carmichael that
her husbands sister is an inmate OF
an insane asylum in West Virginia,
may explain some horrible feature OF
the crime, II the suspicious about
Rev. Mr.. Carmichael are borne out
Mrs. Carmichael also said that heI
husband was moody and restless the
night before he disappeared and ap
parently brooding over something.
1t has been learned that on Mon
day, the day before the murder, Rev
Mr.. Charmichael came to the postof
fee in Adair. apparently much agitat
ed and perturbed, and received let
ter which he took away without
opening.

MORE PEERLESS CARS
senninstonians Place Orders for HIGH
Grade Automobiles.

There will be at least two new 1909
Peerless Motor cars in Bennington
next season since II. c. White, Yer.
mont State Agent for these cars has
already sold two to Bennington resi-.
dents. E. H. Putnam has been so
well satisfied with the performance Of
his Peerless car for three years that
he has ordered a new 1909 seven pas
senger Peerless car and George Tib-
bits Lane of Bennington Center after
having considered all the best makes
has ordered a Peerless for delivery
early in the spring.
The town Of Bennington has more
Peerless cars than any other make of
Automobiles Notwithstanding the fact
that they are high priced car. Their
owners seem to feel that economy as
well as a maximum amount OF plea.
sure is found In buying these cars and
many have had considerable exper-
fence
The Peerless factory has notified
Mr.. White that half Of their 1909 out
put is already shipped notwithstand
lllB luc ldCl ludl l0e9 nave greatly IN
creased their output again this year
The present indications are that all
1909 Peerless cars will be sold in the
next few weeks, in fact only about 20
per cent are at present unsold Of the
| 1909 output.
The Peerless people are building
cars which are pretty generally admit
ted to be equal If not superior to the
best foreign cars made. This anC
their acknowledged superiority ovel
domestic competitors accounts fol
their wonderfully increasing populari
ty year by year. There was short
age of Peerless cars last year anC
many who had intended to buy this
make had to wait another year or take
another car and those who wish 10 BIZ
assured of Peerless cars this veal
must order earlier than ever.
Mr.. White is an acknowledged au
thority on automobiles and the way h'
takes care of his customers has haC

strong Peerless clientele which h

Do NOT HESITATE.
In Five Minutes You Will Be Re-
lived Of Stomach Misery
and Dyspepsia.

Some people think they have indi-
gestion. others Catarrh of the Stom-
aeh, others Nervousness, COncer or
Dyspepsia, etc. Call it this if you will
but the real name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation with only partial
digestion Everything you eat turns
to either Acid Stomach gas or StOm-
ach poison, which weaken the diges-
tive organs, causing a lack of gastric
Juice. Your food sours, is only half di
gested, and you become affected with
loss of appetite, pressure and fulmess
after eating, burning sensation, a feel
ing of vomiting, heartburn, water
brash and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach, Shiny tongue, bad taste in
the mouth, constipation, nausea, belch
ing of gas, dizziness, sick headaches,
mental depression and many other
common symptoms.
You can cure all this by not eating.
by not putting any food in your stom-
ach to ferment; but how about your
bodily strength? Ii you are q stom-
ach sufferer either man or woman,
young or old, whether you call it lndi-
gestioG or any other name, go now to
your druggist end give 80 cents for a
case of Papes Diapepsin.
Every possible kind of Stomach
trouble is readily cured by Diapepsin
which takes right hold of the food in
your stomach and digests it alone
without the help of the stomach, just
as If your stomach wasn't there.
After few days use of Diapepsin
your Stomach will again be in good
working order, your meals will thor
oughly digest and your intestines will
be clean and fresh, and you will have
no use for laXatives or liver regu
ators.
