TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Norwich Citizens Testify for shs
 Public Benefit,

A truthful statement of a Norwich citizen, given in his own words. should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessEess, urinary disorders or any form Of kidney ills. use a tested kid ney medicine.
 A Norwich citizen tells of Doan's s Kidney Pills.
 Could you demand more convincing proof of merit?
 Eugene Sweet, Norwich, Conn. says: About twelve years ago I learned of the value of Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I was confined to my bed as the result of an attack of lumbago. I suffered from s2arp pains across my loins and was greatly annoyed by too frequent passages Of the kidney secre- tlons- consulted the best doctors in Providence, but their treatment failed to help me in the least. I finally read about Deans Kidney Pills and as I was badly in need of something that would help me, I began using them. improvement was soon noticeable and l continued taking this remedy until the trouble disappeared Others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills; Tor kidney complaint and have been cured"

 When seen at a later date, MT. Sweet added: T confirm all I have eyer said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills I consider them the best kidney remedy to be had"

MONUMENTS COMMEMORATE
 RENEFAcToRs OF NORWICH Numerous Shafts and Tablets to Per-
 petuate Their Memories,

All the committees for Benefactors' day. June '. are working energetically to make that day a success.
 At a meeting at 9.30 Wednesday morning at the residence of Dr. D. F. Brewer on Union street the sub-com- mittee on statistics, printing and publicity had much progress to re- port. The chairman is at work on the folder or booklet to perpetuate the names of the dead and living benefac- tors of the town. At this meeting the chairman presented the following yal- uaible facts:
 Norwich Monuments
 The benefactors of Norwich have not been wholly forgotten by their de- scendants.
 John Mason and the other founders are commemorated at the old Post and Gager burial place at Norwich Town by a monument recently admirably photographed by Dr. Dwight Tracy.
 Soldiers Remembered.
 The brave sons of Norwich who voluntarily entered the military ser vice of the United States during the ument on Chelsea Parade.
 The 26th regiment of Connecticut volunteers by the monument on the Little Plain.
 Governor Samuel Huntington, signer of the Declaration of Independence.
 
 four patriotic sons.
 The soldiers of the American Revo- lution, whose graves are in the up- town burying ground, and the French soldiers of the Revolution under La fayette, by appropriate inscriptions by Faith Trumbull chapter, D. A. R.. who erected also the fountain on the Little Plain in memory of Jajbez Huntington and Hezelciah Perkins, who gave the park to the city.
 Memorial Stone.
 A memorial stone records the names of Perkins, Lathrop and Tanning as tho giyers of Chelsea Parade to the inhabitants of the town of Norwich
 Indian Chiefs Not Forgotten.
 Whether Miantonomoh should be numbered among the benefactors is questionable Certainly, he did Nor wich no harm, and Uncas was always ''the friend of the white men" To the faults of both it is we'll to be little blind, and to their virtues very kind, while Miantonofr1oh is remembered on Sachem's Plain and Uncas on Sachem street. In happier hunting grounds than Narragansett and Mohegan 1t may be hoped that the hatchet is their ancient grudges, they smoke to- gether the pipe of peace. Unknown Benefactors. The men of Athens inscribed an al- tar to The Unknown God" Norwich might well erect a monument to The Unknown Benefactors, the choir in- visible, the men and women whose names are not in tE book of fame, but whose sober, unseffish, devoted lives have made for the welfare and happi- ness of succeeding generations.

THE CATTLE EPIDEMIC.

The sudden appearance and swift
spread of the foot and mouth dis
ease among the cattle of the United
states is an extraordinary thing. How
this affection, which is so rare as to
be almost unknown in the United
States, shorid have broken out in
thirteen states almost simultaneously
in remote and isolated herds as well
as in crowded places of cattle gath
cring is real mystery that should
be explored with minute care. 1t
is, of course, possible thar the disease
has been present in scattered parts
OF the country for long time and
has escaped the vigilance of cattle
Il spcctors, both national and state,
and if that should prove to be true
there is need for a general tighten
ing of the lines of protection against
disease to our meat and milk sources
lii the United States Next to get
ting the epidemic under control it
is important that the agricultural de
partment authorities should learn the
causes OF the outbreak and wide dis

CAUGHT HIS RAT.
But Augusta Merchant Changes His
Mind Regarding Steel Traps.

One Water street merchant who
lives somewhere near Sewall street
and captured big rat at the house the
other night through the medium of
steel trap, allows that this form OF
trap is all right so far as holding what
gets into it is concerned, but for his
own peace of mind and that of his bet
ter half, the next time he sets a trap
for rats it will be some other kind of
a trap. AS he tells the story he had
been bothered during the winter by
rat which had established its head
quarters in the shed, and deciding to
get rid of the rodent he secured a
steel trap.
On the night in question he took the
trap out into the shed and after set
ting it and leaving tempting bait
nearby he went to bed, confident that
when morning should come he would
have that rat where he. wanted him.
He caught the rat all right but his de-
sire was gratified long before he had
anticipated.
Sometime during the night, he does
not know just when, he says that his
better half jabbed him in the ribs with
enc of her alabaster elbows and asked
him if he heard that noise in the shed,
to which he sleepily replied that he
did, and that he guessed he had caught
that rat. He says that there was
some noice in the shed at that time,
but that he assured his better half
that it wae only the rat in the trap
thrashing around in his efforts to get
free. and rolled over to go to sleep
again.
In this however he was thwarted,
for his better half, sitting right up in
bed, informed him in no undecided
tones that no rat could ever make
such racket-that what he had
caught in that old trap was her pet
cat, and she knew it, and further more
he had got to go down and free that
poor cat as soon as his legs would
carry him.
And so it came to pass that although
the night was chilly and the hour late,
the man had to do his wife's bidding
and make a trip to the shed. When
he switched on the light in the shed he
found just what he had expected-thc
rat caught fast by one leg, and the
man, whose usual good nature was not
at that moment at its maximum
height, grabbed a broom out of the
corner and did things to that rat that
carried with them a guarantee that
there would be no further disturbance
on his part henceforth and forever
more. The expedition to the shed was
not one of much pleasure. to the man,
but he allows that so long as his wife
was satisfied he doesn't care
