Farm Buildings Burned /.

Three barns and shed belonging to
B. A. Whittemore, a farmer living in
the east part of the town, were totally
destroyed by fire Monday night. The
fire started through the explosion of a
lantern in one of the barns while Mr..
Whittemore was doing some chores.
AS soon as the fire was discovered help
was summoned and all the cattle, sheep
and most of the farming tools were
saved. A strong wind was blowing at
the time and it was feared that the
house would be burned, though it sew
eral times caught from sparks but was
saved. The loss to Mr.. Whittemore
will be about $4,000 and is partially
covered by insurance.

A CURIOUS BIRD.
Tho Crested Hoactzin When Matched
Has Four eos .si .e

Tho Crested Hoactzin When Hatched
Has Four Legs. ~
The crested hoactzin Of British Gui-
ana is the only survivor of a certain
race Of birds most of which are now
known only as fossils. The hoactzin
1nhabits the most secluded forests of
South America, and it's survival be-
yOnd its congeners is doubtless owing
to it's retiring habits and to the fact
that it feeds on wild arum leaves
which give its flesh most offensive
davOr, rendering it unfit for food.
The chief popularity Of the hoactzin
consists in the fact that when it is
Matched it possesses four we'll develop
ed legs. The young birds leave the nest
and climb about like monkeys over the
adjoining limbs and look more like tree
tOads than birds.
The modification of the fore limbs
begins at once after Matching, when
the claws of the digits fall off and the
whole clawlike hand begins to fatten
and become wing shaped. Feathers
soon appear, and before full growth is
reached not a vestige remains of the
original character.
The adult birds not only have no
claws upon their wings, but their
thumbs even are so poorly developed
that one would hardly suspect that in
the nestlings we have the nearest ap-
proach to a quadruped found among
existing birds.-London Tit-Bits.

Rheumatism Comes

Once Your Kidneys Work Properly.
Rheumatism, Kidney Disease and
Bladder Trouble Disappear. How
To Cure Yoursalf

~ OAV 4Vux0044s
1t is no longer necessary to spend
months and months undergoing a com
plicated treatment for rheumatism
kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a
good many dollars in doctors bills.
A new treatment can now be OBJ
tanned which seems to act more like a
marvel than a medicine. This treat
ment has produced such satisfactory
results in a short time that it is now
guaranteed from first to last
;, There should be no more doubt about
the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears
of the fatal termination of treacherous
kidney disease or drOpSy.
Rheumatism means nothing more MOI
less than that your kidneys do no,
work properly. Your blood passes
through the kidneys hundreds of times
a day to be filtered and purified. When
the kidneys are weak, the poisons are
not taken out of the blood as they
should be. This leads to various dis
eases, such as rheumatism, terrible
Brlghts disease, diabetes, dropsy and
bladder trouble.
Derby's Kidney Pills. One days use
of them will prove their remarkable
effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima, Ohio

Pills and get immediate relief

calling an extra session of congress
in event the senate did not vote on

Every effort is being made by the
opposition to- reciprocity to create the
impression that there will be no eA

persuade President Taft either that he
doesn't really intend to call one OF

Mr.. Lorimer said there had been an
effort to cover the case with a veil OF
suspicion. 1t had been charged that
some one person with a powerful mind
had organized the legislature to de-.
feat Senator Hopkins.
"Some senators have intimated that

legislatures for years having turned
a deaf ear to the pleas of woman suf-

itical tide which sent a Democratic
majority to Albany this year was the
signal for renewed effort on the part
of the organizations which annually
have battled over the issue on Capitol
hill
Heretofore the suffragists have con-
tented themselves with an annual field
day before the legislative committees,
leaving few of the faithful to watch
developments, but this year the Equal
Franchise society, of which Mrs. Clar-
ence Mackay is president, arranged a
suffrage week" programme, with a
hearing before the senate and assem-
bly, judiciary committee as its chief
feature.
The anti-suffragists, too, turned out
in force and proved to be quite as ag-
gressiye in debate as their sisters who
demanded the ballot.
An open air demonstration, at which
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Miss Le-
nora O'Reilly and other enthusiastic
suffragists spoke, served to attract at
tention to the main event in the CAPT
