FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, Of Lvermore, Cal,
writes: Il picked up from my door
step one day little book in which
soon became very much interested.
My little girl Of five years of age had
been troubled for long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in very delicate condition
This little book was very compre-
hensively written, and told Of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which il
SO hard for children to take.
Just the t6ing,' said I, for my little
daughter and Immediately went for
a bottle of Vinol. 1t helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength, and she does not
take cold half so easily.
II am extremely grateful for the
good 1t has done her, and hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by my
experience and just give Vinol trial."

GIVEN MAXIMUM SENTENCE
For Felonious Assault on Girl--Jury Was
Out Only 10 Minutes.

Townson, Md, March l2.-Joseph NJ
Janer Of Brooklyn was yesterday con-
victed OF felonious assault upon Gather
inc Loerch, II years of age, also OF
Brooklyn, and sentenced to 2l years In
the Maryland pcnitentiary, this being
the maximum possible under the particu.
lar count OF the indictment on which
conviction was made.
The case began Wednesday before
Judges Burke and Duncan and was tried
without n jury. II was in evidence that
Janer, early in February, brought the
child to Baltimore, represented her to
be his daughter, and during two nights.
one spent in a disreputable house and
the other in boarding house, repeatedly
subjected her 70 most brutal ill-treat-
ment. The prosecution put witnesses on
the stand to show practically every
movement made by Janer and the child
after their arrival in Baltimore and ply
sicians gave evidence coniirmatory of the
contention OF the state.
y Janer went on the stand in his own
defense and denied his guilt. The Judges
announced their finding after about ten
minutes deliberation. Janer's counsel
made a motion for new trial, but
this was subsequently withdrawn. When
sentence was pronounced Janer showed
not the slightest emotion. He was
taken at once to the penitentiary in
Baltimore. Janer's wife was in court
throughout the trial.

DENIES ALLEGATIONS.
In Return Legal Answer Charges Lack
of Judgment in Petitioner.

Brattleboro, March f2s--The internal
dissensions in the Hooker, Corser &
Mitchell company, overall and garment
makers, got another airing yesterday
in an answer filed in the county clerks
office by James f. Hooker, Mrs. Maud
j.. Hooker, William H. Corser and
Charles d. Whitaker, directors Of the
company, to bill in equity brought 9
few days ago by William II. Proctor,
who was deposed as director and off.
Ger Of the company ut the annual meet
ing in January.
The answer denies all material allie
cations Of the bill and defends the de-
positions of Mr.. Proctor as director as
legal and for just cause. In turn, it
charges the deposed director with lack
Of Judgment and with intent to damage
the reputation and business OF the COM
pany.
The respondents ask that the bill be
dismissed with costs on the ground
that matters complained Of can be
tried in court of law.

INSURGENTS CONFER.
Discussed Plans Of Fight to Change
Rules of The House.

Washington, d, G., March 12.--For
more than three hours last night the
Republican insurgents" discussed be-
hind closed doors the details of the hght
they propose to make next Monday
when the 61st Congress convenes against
the adoption Of the rules of the last
House to govern it.
The leaders Of the movement express
cd entire satisfaction with the size of
the t'eeting, claiming that at least
ten more members would vote with
them against the rules. It is known
that much of the time at the meeting
was devoted to discussion of compro.
mise with the organization forces.
The suggestion was made that the
insurgents enter into a compromise with
the regulars whereby a committee would
be appointed at the beginning of the
special session to revise the rules Of the
House. Pending the report of the com
mittee the rules Of the last House would
be enforced. This. however, did not
meet with general approval.
The sentiment OF the meeting was
that the speaker should not have the
power of appointing the committee if
such a compromise was agreed upon.
Chairman Gardner said afterwari
that the meeting voted unanimously u
give the tariff bill the right of way.

DELIBERATE
In HIS DEATH
Walter Cooper Of BrocktOn,
Mass, Made Will First
THEN HE SHOT HIMSELF
He Visited a Lawyer and After Getting
His Property Disposed of He
Was Ready to End His
Existence.

Brockton, Mass, March 1e.--Walter
Cooper, aged a5, living at 12 Bartlett
street and without known relatives
first went TO lawyers Office and had a
win drawn, then bought a revolver and
shot himself yesterday afternoon. That
he still lives is due to the prompt man.
ner in which be was rushed to hos
pital.
Cooper used 32-calibre revolver and
fred single bullet into his head
through his mouth. He selected small
tool house in the rear Of the new Bixby
apartments, North Main street, as the
scene. II. L. Sampson and Frank Laurie
architects assistant and contractor, saw
him 90 into the tool house and then
heard the shot. When they arrived
Cooper was prostrate upon the floor and
unconscious. They notified Capt. George
A. Joy of the police force, and Inspector
James III. Grace and officer p. j. Mason
were sent with the police auto to bring
Cooper to the Relief hospital There
the surgeons probed for the bullet and
found it had entered at the left side
and gone downward, instead Of into the
brain, thus ayerting instant death. He
was put on the dangerous list, with a
fair chance of recovery however
Cooper went to the Office of Attorney
S. b. Mcleod at 2 o'clock and said he
desired to have a win drawn. He was
haggard, nervous and at times almost
incoherent, due, he explained, 10 lack of
sleep. In the will, at his request, 5000
in local bank was bequeathed TO John
j. Gum, foreman and prominent
member Of Harmony lodge, K. of p, Of
which Cooper is also a mcmber. Two
shares of Amalgamated Copper were
added to this bequest.
He was then provided with pen and
paper and began letter to Mr.. Gum,
saying he was about TO die When
Cooper showed this to the lawyer Mr..
Mcleod stepped into the next room and
telephoned for the police.
Inspector james r. Morey responded
and chatted with Cooper for 20 min
utes. The young man said that for
eight years he had been employed as a
shoe cutter at the Regal shoe company
factory at Whitman, was without kin
and that he lived at 12 Bartlett street.
For weeks he had suffered from insom
MIA, medicine falling to bring relief.
Cooper was rational. There was moth
ing for which he could be detained and
Alorey went away.
From the lawyers Office Cooper went
to o store across the way, bought
revolver and then went north until he
reached the new apartment house where
he frod the shot. Friends who have
known him for years attribute his act
to depression, induced by insomnia, as
he is young man of good character
and habits.

BULLTES FLEW
DURING FIRE
From Ammunition in Burn
Ing Hardware Store
MILTON'S LOSS IS $4,000
Two Buildings Were Destroyed This
Morning, and the Cause Stn
Remains to Be Ex-
planned.

Milton, March 1.-THE Masonic build
ing on River street and the Plant build
ing, which was separated from il by
only narrow driveway, were destroyed
by fire this morning, causing a loss Of
$4,000, and it was only by the hardest
kind OF work that adjoining property
was saved. In the Masonic building was
the store of the Milton Hardware com.
pany and the quarters of the Masonic
lodge, while the Plant building was oceu-
pied by Il. B. Ashley as a residence and
post Office, it having been only recently
purchased by him. The cause Of the fire
Is a mystery. The furnace, where was
the only fire about the building as clos
ing-up time last night, is encased in ee.
ment, so that it is difficult TO see how the
flames could have started about it.
The FIRE was discovered at five o'clock
by Edward Lyman and Postmaster Ash
ley, and they at once gave the alarm.
The fire got such a start that IL was
not possible to take out the contents
Of the Masonic building and the stock
of the Milton Hardware company and
the lodge furnishings are a complete
loss. The building was filed with a
dense smoke, which prevented entrance.
The post Office furnishings, the mail, and
the furnishings of Mr.. Ashley's prop.
erty were removed, although in a some
what damaged condition. The post Office
has since been established in the market
of Mr.. Beyins.
Cormia's store and the barn Of the In.
ternational Paper company were in great
danger at one time and were saved only
by the good service of a small chemical
engine. II was dangerous TO remain in
the vicinity of the fire during one time
because OF the flying bullets from ammu-
milton in the hardware store, but the only
damage done by the bullets was to glass
in adjoining property, which was rid.
died.
The Masonic lodge carried $4,000 in
surance on the building, but 1t Is hardly
probahle that the building win be rebuilt
for some time. The Milton Hardware
had $4,000 insurance; and the
Masons carried a partial insurance on
their regalia and fittings. Mr. Ashley
carried $1,000 on his building and some
on his furnishings.

State Submits Evidence In
Joseph WObby Prosecution
DECISION NEXT MONDAY
WObby Had Previously Been Discharged
from the Accusation Of Keeping
Liquor With Intent to
Sell.

The hearing on condemning the liquor
recently seized at Joseph wobby's store
was held before Judge Scott In city
court this morning, and at the close the
court continued Judgment until Monday.
Grand Juror f. r. Davis prosecuted the
case and S. Hollister jackson defended.
Chief Faulkner and Officer Hamel were
put onto the stand and testified to fnd.
ing nine pints Of whiskey wrapped up
in package on a shelf in Wobby's store.
And that they found also several bottles
of some kind of foreign liquor which
Wobby said was a kind drunk in Syria.
The remaining witnesses put on by
the state were two young boys, Byron
Downing and orvis Fordham. Downing
testified that about two months ago he
purchased pint bottle of whiskey of
Wlobby at the latter's store and paid rs
cents for 1t. In cross-examination, the
boy admitted that he had told Attorney
jackson in the latter's Office night be-
fore last that he had never purchased
any liquor Of Wobby. Later Mr.. Jack
son took the oath and stated to the
court that he had called the Downing
boy into his Office and had asked him TO
tel the truth about the case, and that
the boy time and again said that he
never bought any liquor of Wobby.
The Fordham boy testified that few
weeks ago man whom he met on the
bridge in the Barre railroad yard went
in the direction of Wobby's store and got
him a pint of whiskey, but he wasn't
sure that the man went into the store.
He also said that he had drunk some
beer with the Downing boy in box car
in the Barre railroad yard, but he did
not know where the liquor came from.
Downing was called back onto the wit
ness stand and said that he had pur-
chased this liquor near the depot from
a man who had several bottles tied up
in a bundle The boy also stated that
Wobby had been to him and asked him
to help him ont and If he won the case he
would make it right with him.
When Wobby was arrested after the
raid at his store he was charged with
both keeping and selling liquor. After
a hearing Judge Scott discharged the
on the charge of keeping on
the ground that the prosecution did net
make out case. That was on February
27, and after it the other case was con-
tinued.

WALSH WAS DEFEATED.
Close Wager Match with Mccarthy OF
Burlington Last Night.

The bowling match Of 2l games be-
tween Edward Walsh OF this city and
Andrew Mccarthy Of Burlington was
won by Mccarthy at Buzzells alleys last
evening by one game. The match was
rolled for wager Of 500 10 the winner.
The first ten OF the 2l games were rollea
of at Burlington and Walsh won seven
OF them and Of the remaining eleven
rolled here last evening Mccarthy took
eight, giving him the match by ll'games
TO 10 for Walsh. Interest in the match
among the friends in this city OF both
the bowlers was at u high pitch and
standing room was at a premium from
the start TO the finish of the match.
Fully 200 people we're lined up as thickly
as possible along both sides OF the al
leys and at the back of the bowlers'
seats, while there was an overflow in
the pool room that eagerly listened for
the results as they were announced by
the scorer, Henry Alexander.
Though McCarty bowled in fine form
and showed o remarkably cool nerve
throughout the whole eleven strings, II
was seen that the luck was with him,
while Walsh got the small end where a
little luck was possible. The features
in fancy spares were $50 and a $40
that were nipped of by Mccarthy, and
$40 and 3-l0 by Walsh.
Walsh took the first game by thirty
pins, but lost the next one. He then
came back and took the third, but went
down again for the next FIVE straight
games. He won the ninth and Mccarthy
took the last two In the total score,
Walsh was l40 pins below his opponent,
the scores being 2l44 and 2004 McCar-
thy went over 200 in five of the games,
while Walsh had only two scores above
this mark. AcCarthy's average pin fall
was l94 and fraction, which was the
same average he had in the first match
in Burlington on his home alleys. Walsh's
average was 1872 and fraction, while his
average at Burlington was les and
fraction. Mccarthy had 43 strikes, so
spares, l6 breaks and ! miss, and Walsh
had 80 strikes, so spares, II breaks ana
I misses.

TWO SUITS EACH FOR $4,000.
Damage Claimed For Loss of Lives at
The Larchmont Disaster.

Providence, r. l., March 1.-TWO
suits claiming damages of $4,000 each
for tha death of two victims of the
steamer LArchmont disaster, Feb. II,
1907, were filed in the superior court
yesterday against the Joy line steam
snip company. These are the first cases
brought against the company over the
disaster, and non others are likely to
be filed, as the time has expired with
n which action may be begun.
Frinna Winiker Of Kosser, Austria,
'nnd her four children sue TO recover
tdmages for the death of Benjamin, hus
band of the woman and father of the
Emldren. Ethel Steiner and her three
hildren, also of Austria, ask for dam
ages for the loss Of Benjamin Steiner.
Each plaintiff claims that the loss Of
life was due to the careless and negli-
gent manner with which the Lareh-
mont was navigated on that fatal
night.
