STRANGER FOUND DEAD.

Gas Probable Causes.

Burlington, Oct. IA man about 50

| liam Emerson, who had been employed
on the farm of j. II. Leach in Fairfax
/ during the summer, was found dead yes
terday morning in his room at the Van
tine on Church street
Death, it is believed by Health Officer
Nolan, was due to heart failure and to
the effects of gas which was leaking
from a tube attached to the fixture.
Both windows in the room were open a
little. The man had been dead 'for sew
eral hours.
Two hundred and twelve dollars in
bills and small change was found in two
small purses which lay under him.
These bills were tightly wadded and
were evidently the accumulation OF saw
ings. There was one $40 gold piece,
few S20 bills and bills of other denom-
nations, some of them moldy.
In the mans pockets were two silver
watches and revolver, and on the dress
er was a bag of candy and few papers.
The body was discovered by another
ledger who occupied a room on the same
hoor In passing down the hall he saw
the door Of No. ajar and the smell of
gas prominent Closer investigation re-
vesled the body Of man across the
bed, 10 al appearances dead Others
were notified and the police and health
officer called 10 the scene. Later. Under
taker Dryer removed the body.
II il the opinion OF the health officer

getting into bed when he had an attack
OF heart failure and fell backward The
connection which turns on the gas for
the tubing was near the jet connection

LOYALTY TO NORWICH
Continues to Be Shown by General Gren.
vile M. Dodge.

vile M. Dodge.
Ii will be recalled that General Gren'
Vile M. Dodge, the last of the living
commanders of an armyS in our Civil
war, published in 1911 a history of Nor
witch university l8l9.l9ll. The general
had faith in the worth and work OF his
alma mater and he believed that the
written record of it's graduates and past
cadets would make manifest the reasons
for that faith and thereby warrant the
expenditure of the thousands of dollars
the history cost him. He has now gone
a step further in his faithfulness to the
college from which he graduated in 1851,
and has given to it the copies Of the
history undistributed, about 500 sets
of three volumes each, with the original
data from which the compilation was
made.
This is but one of the splendid gifts
of General Dodge to the college, though
none of these will compare with the gift
of the man himself by his record in the
history of our nation, as a builder of
thousands of miles of railway opening
our great empire beyond the Mississippi,
and as citizen soldier in the Civil war,
and in the Indian war which followed.
1t has pleased him to ascribe his
knowledge of engineering and his initial
skill in applying that knowledge and the
knowledge of affairs military to Norwich
and to Captain Alden Partridge.
He is right; for whatever special
training he acquired before going into
the field for practice in engineering and
in warfare he did get at Norwich and
in Vermont. The money value of the
gift, much as it is, will not compare
with the value of its influence in ways
not to be measured with dollars.
But even the money value is not for
the day only-it reaches far into the
future, since from the receipts for the
histories sold will be established for the
college library an endowment fund from
the income of which will be purchased
books and ever more books.
The fund will bear the generals name. |
and right ittngly may it be used to
furnish books for the library given to |
him for the college by Mr.. Carnegie.

HIS ATTITUDE
THREATENING
Aguilar Planning to Attack
Americans in Vera
Cruz
SAID TO HAVE
MADE BOAST
That He Would Breakfast in
the City on Sun
day

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. l7.-Evident
preparations on the part OF a small de
tachment OF men under General Aguilai

can outposts around Vera Cruz have I've.
suited in the strengthening of the Amer.
lean lines
Some 200 Mexicans are in position
about half mile from the American
outposts
They have two mountain guns trained
on the American soldiers.
Their war-like activity is attributed
in Vera Cruz to over-indulgence in
liquor obtained at house just bi-ond
the American lines, but their boasts
that they were about to inaugurate an
attack that ultimately would drive the
Americans out OF this port are taken
more or less seriously.
This is on account of the persistency
of the reports that Aguilar will not be
able to restrain his men much longer
and that their Impotence to enter Vera
Cruz is rendering his control over them
doubtful
Aguiliar's entire force is estimated be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men with several
pieces of artillery. 1t is reported in
Vera Cruz that Aguillar has made
wager that he will take breakfast in this
city next Sunday.
Meantime optimistic opinions regard
ing peace in Mexico are expressed and
the Aguascalientes peace convention has
proclaimed itself the supreme body of
the republic. Shells from Naco wounded
two persons on the American side of the
during the recent fighting.

is 1T YOUR KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou-
bles-A Barre Citizen Gives
Valuable Hint.

'AAHsf
Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering from
lame, weak or aching back
they think that it is only mus
cular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in, they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. That is where
danger often lies. You should
realize that these troubles often
lead to dropsy or Bright's dis
ease. An effective remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the
experience of a resident of Barre
who has tested Doan's.
Frank E. Adams, AZ Elm
street, Barre, says:
Il have used Doan's Kidney Pills for
several months, and they have proved a
valuable remedy. For some time | had
been troubled by my kidneys. My back
ached and / had pains in my Sides
Doan's Kidney Pills cured the trouble.
! highly recommend them"
Price SOC, at all dealers Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills--the same that Mr. Adams
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, Buff

GOES TO RESCUE
Big Shipment of Supplies
Accompanies Staff to the
Scene of Conflict.

Toxic, Nov. 9.-Another tie has
been established between east and
west by Japan's offer to send detach-
ments of Red Cross workers to Russia,
England and France. Delegations will
leave soon for Europe carrying with
them a large amount of medicine,
bandages and other requirements.
An impressive scene was witnessed
yesterday when 10000 Japanese wo-
men in flowing kimonos and carrying
pennants gathered in the open air at
Hibiya park for the annual meeting Of
the Ladies' Patriotic society. A special
pavilion was erected to receive Prin-
cess kan-in and others of royal blood.
This society works with the Red
Cross and is now engaged in sending
comfort bags to the soldiers, and in
caring for families at home. The re-
ports show a membership of 100000
the past years increase being 10000.
Under patronage of Prince Kan-in.
the French ambassador, and the Bel
gian charge have organized a relief
fund for the sick and wounded of the
allied forces, both in Europe and in
the far east. A number of distinguish
ed Japanese as we'll as foreigners are
taking part. Money and clothing have
been collected and practically all the
foreign women Of Toxic are sewing.

gagged in preparing bandages for the
wounded Japanese and British SOL

Washington. Nov 9.-Shoot first

pursued by Indian Commissioner Cate

the treaty of 1855, which has been de-

court to be still in force and not re-

the Chippewas. What those orders are
Commissioner Sells refused to say.
"Mr. Larson left for Minnesota to-

He knows that a gradual thawing In

SO, those people whose work causes

markedly relieved by holding the
burnt part close to the fire; and while
the pain may be temporarily relieved

Now. why is ice-watsr best for

OF the law of cure In the general
treatment of disease?
The rank and file of old school ply
sicians know nothing Of Homeopathy
because it is not taught in their coll
ieges and seldom mentioned in their
journals. They are taught to look
upon it as opposed to their interests.
Only a small percentage of them ever
come to know anything definite about
1t and the majority are so prejudiced
against it that they are unable to
judge impartially when its -benencient
results occasionally come to their no.

Like every other revolutionary

terests. It is detrimental to drug
manufacturers who have millions Of
dollars invested in their business and
to the medical journals who depend
largely upon drug advertisements for
their income. because the sale Of
drugs is decreasing and when Home
opathy is adopted will be but frac-
tion Of what 1t now is. 1t is detri-
ated with medicine. because 1t elimi-
mates at least two-thirds. of otherwise
unavoidable sickness. IT. is detri-
mental to many physicians of promi-
nence who must be supplanted by
physicians trained to practice
Homeopathy. and such training is OBJ
tainable only after years of special
study.
It il only . question of time until
Homeopathy will be generally accept

or medical conditions ever occurs sud
