Killed 200 Pound Bear.

Homen A. Lyons of Bennington, who has made a practice of trapping bears nearly every spring for a num- Der of years. brought in the largest trophy Sunday a bear weighing con- siderable over 200 pounds. The anil nlal which was a male, was exceed ingly thin in flesh not yet having re- covered from it's long period of hiber- nation The same bear, MT. Lyons eS- timated, would weigh 400 pounds in ordinary condition. The bear was trap ped near Little pond in WoOdford, but the animal carried both trap and clog, the latter a log of wood eight feet long, more than four miles through the woods.
 The trapper finally came up with the bear about three miles east of Bennington. Even then it kept away from him for a half mile chase be- fore he could come up with it to shoot it. Two rife bullets were necessary to close bruins career. The fur, contra ry to the conditions that exist with nearly all other animals at this sea- son, was in prime condition Later in the year the bears tear out so much hair in their progress through the brush that the fur is useleSs--Rutland News.

Two Tablets and
 Stomach Misery Gone

The Lee & Osgood Go. sells the best prescription the world has ever known for disturbed and upset stomachs, gas, belching, heaviness heartburn, acid stomach and biliousness.
 It is called Mi-o-na (remember the name), and it banishes distress from over eating or fermentation of food in five minutes.
 It is guaranteed to cure indigestion, sick headache, nervousness and dizzi- ness or money back.
 No matter how long you have suf- fered you will find a certain cure in Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
 About six weeks ago I purchased a box of Mi-o-na tablets for an agra vated form of stomach trouble. I had been troubled for four or five years, had tried different physicians and great many patent remedies but of no use. until I used Mi-o-na tablets. They entirely relieved me from pain. and I can now eat most any kind of food and relish it.''-A. J. Fish, West Carthage, N. Y.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost 50 cents a large box at druggists every where and at The Lee & Osgood Go.
