cornerstone. He seldom missed a
meeting of the chapter, and was
always one of its most enthusiastic
workers. On all public questions
he had an opinion of his own, and
was always firm in contending for
what he thought was right, but he
was always ready to work for the
best interest of the general public
whether his ideas were adopted or
not, The high esteem in which
he was held by the general public
is well known to all who knew him,
but only to his brothers and COM
panions of the mystic order was he
known as a Mason and all that to
be a Mason implies.
In his youth he learned to cir
cumscribe his desires and keep his
passions in due bounds; he dill
gently occupied his time in the at
tainment of the knowledge of his
duties as man; in manhood he
employed his knowledge in the
discharge of his duties to God, his
neighbor and himself; as old age
approached he enjoyed the happy
reflection and contemplation of
we'll spent life, and he died in the
hope of glorious Immortality; he
wrought more than seven years in
the quaries of life and many rough
ashlers became perfect ashlers un-
der his skilled manipulation of the
chisel and mallet. The specimens
Of skill and ability he exhibited
were finished with such exact pre-
cision and nicely there is ne fear
but that the Grand Overseer will
pronounce his work good and true.
That which was his own in wages
le took without murmur or envy.
He learned to rule and govern
himself, and qualified himself to
'ule and govern his fellows; he
earned that after he had so lived
nd labored at the great task of
recting in his heart a temple fit

Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the relief

healing to the inflan.ed membranes of
the stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids known
to medicine. The relief they afford is al
most immediate. Their use with per-
sistency and regularity for a short time
brings about cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure

Gardiner and Randolph Bridge.

The biennial resolve in favor of the
Gardiner and Randolph bridge was
presented by Representative Files of
Gardiner, calling for the appropria-
ton of $1,000 to assist in the care and
maintenance of the Gardiner and RAN
dolph bridge in 1911 and "A like sum in
1912
The resolve was accompanied by the
following statement of facts:
An act to incorporate the Proprie-
tors of the Gardiner and Pittston
bridge was passed by the Legislature
in 1852 as private corporation with
power TO take tolls for profit, they
were empowered to hold real estate
to the value ssof $4,000 The bridge
was built under said act in 1853 and
opened for traffic that year. In 1869
the Legislature passed an act author
izing the city of Gardiner and town of
Pittston, or either of them to raise
money for and to purchase the Gardi-
ner and Pittston bridge.
The original bridge company opera
ted the bridge until Jan. l. 1887 when
it was turned over to the city of Gar
diner and town of Randolph and the
price paid including costs was S23,271.
II was at that time made free
bridge. Gardiner paid IS per cent.
and Randolph % per cent. of the pur-
chase money and they are holden in
that proportion for repairs. In 1896
the middle portions of the bridge were
CO rred away by freshet of that year
and this necessitated the repairing OF
tie piers and the purchase of two
steel spans, the cost of the construc-
ton and repairs was s3o,713 and bonds
were issued for that amount.
The bridge is about 800 feet in length.
4l5 feet in the steel spans: $40 feet
in the covered ends and 166 feet in the
draw. besides the approaches. A new
draw was put in at an expense Of
900 in the year 1906.
The total expense for maintaining
and repairing the bridge for tn" period
of 10 years up To 1909 was about $25,
900. or an average of S2560 year. and
for the wears 1909 and 1910 the expense
has averaged about $4,000 a wear. The
bridge is obliged to maintain It draw.
