haste and fearing capture the thieves
fired on their pursuers. They finally
eluded the latter and it is thought made
their escape on a freight train to
Mortified. Chief Donahue of the latter
place was notified but found no trace of
them in that village. He then went to
Montpelier Junction, but it was so
foggy when the train reached that
point that they successfully made their
escape.

One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after long lapse of time,
even if we hesitated to believe it at first
hearing, we feel secure in accepting its
truth now. The following experience
of Nliddlebury woman is confirmed af-
ter two years:
Mrs. Frank A. Trudo, 43 Washington
St., Middlebury, says: II suffered for
quite awhile from severe pains across the
small of my back and soreness in my
kidneys. Hearing of Doan's Kidn ey
Pills, gave them a trial and it was not
long before they brought relief. This
medicine made so great an improvement
in every way that | urge its use to all
kidney sufferers"
OVER Two YEARS LATER Mrs. Trudo
said: II have had no kidney trouble to
speak of since Doan's Kidney Pills rid
me of il. l gladly recommend them
again"

WILLMARTH'S ESCAPE.

The readiness with which Attorney
General Barber and Sheriff Smith of
Addison county accuse each other of
being responsible for the slowness of
justice indicates that somebody feels to
blame. Time will probably tell who.
The State wants expenses of detectives
kept down, but still in case of need
would be willing to spend few dollars

Middlebury college is to broaden its
curriculum the coming year by the
addition of Spanish. Because interest
in business openings in connection with
South American trade has created a
strong demand for courses in the
Spanish language, instruction in it will
be offered, beginning with the new COL
lege year which opens September 23rd.
The instructor engaged is Charles St.
Clair Wade, formerly of Tufts college.
Mr.. Wade has been in Spain on four
different trips and speaks Spanish
fluently, besides French and other
European languages. He was for one
year resident at the American school at
Athens. Decadent Vermont is keeping
abreast of the demand of the times.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system IL the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardy realize that
we have a network of nerves, but wheu
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

JUDGE JNO. c. BROWN
DIES in ST. Louis
FredericktOwn Jurist Was Only
Republican on State Su-

st. Louis, Sept. Judge John c.
Brown of Fredericktown, Mo-, the only
Republican member of the Missouri
Supreme Court, died at 1904 o'clock
this afternoon at St. Luke's Hospital.
where he had been a patient since
July Is.
He was suffering from kidney
trouble, aggravated by abnormal blood
pressure, and had been in poor health
for the past year.
His daughter, Mrs. A. F. Schultz.
1929 Ridge avenue, was at the bedside
when death came. Members of the
Supreme Court were notified of Judge
Browns death Immediately by long
distance Telephone.
No arrangements for the funeral
have been made,> but burial will prob
ably will be Monday.
Because of poor health. Judge Brown
left jefferson City Just before the adj
journment of the April term of court
and went to Battle Creek, Mich, for
treatment. A short time afterward he
was said to be much improved and
left the Battle Greek Sanitarium to go
/ to his ranch in the GunnisOn River
country in Colorado
Suffering a relapse three weeks, ago
he was hurried to St. Louis and placed
in st. Luke's Hospital in the care of
Dr. NJ. l.. Klinefelter of 4477 Delmar
boulevard. Little hope was entertained
for his recovery from the time he suf-
fercd the relapse.
Judge Brown defeated the late Judge
James b. CAN'T for the 10-year term
on the Supreme bench in November,
1910. His term would have expired
December 81, 1920. He had been a
hard worker during his time as men,
Der of the court and his failing health
was attributed by associates to that
fact.
Judge Brown was born in Garter
County, Missouri, March D, 1860 He
was educated in the schools of Mis-
souri, and Colorado. He was admitted
to the bar in 1883 and shortly after
wards was elected Prosecuting AttOr-
ney of Carter County. He served as
Mayor of Willow Springs from 1895
to 1898
In 1909 he was a member of the com
mission appointed after the revising
session of the General Assembly of

School Superintendent.

The Stork presented Mrs. James T.

intendent of public schools, with twins
yesterday morning. The babies are
boys, weighing seven pounds each,
look exactly alike and are perfect
miniatures of their father.
Prof. Mcdonald telephoned his sis
ter, Mrs. T. j. Haddock, early yester-
day morning from his farm. "Well, l
suppose congratulations are in order
said Mrs. Haddock. "Yes," he replied,
"they are. As | am a farmer now, l
need plenty of help
"You seem to be getting help in
bundles" remarked Mrs. HaddOck.
One of the strange features of the
stork's actions in this case, is that Mr..
Mcdonald has always been anti-RooSe-
welt. He is a Democratic official and
has the reputation Of always voting
'er straight"
The twins and mother are getting

risco Clock II
Years On Strike
Is Ticking Now
Spider Webs and Birds Nest
Found in Stomach of Time
Piece, Removed, And 1t
Runs Again.

After fourteen year vacation, the
big clock in the cupola of the Frisco
passenger depot, is running again.
When the sparrows took charge of it
for winter quarters in the autumn of
1901, the old timepiece, which for a
generation had licked of the hours,
struck. That is, it didn't strike off the
hour, 1t struck for better treatment.
Mr.. Lipscomb, one of the operators
in the station, has been wondering for
several months why the clock refused
to run. Yesterday afternoon he con-
ferred with Passenger Agent J. F.
Neal on the subject.
81 don't know what is the matter
with the pesky thing" said Mr.. Neal,
"but l don't give a tick if it never
strikes again."
Llpscomb announced on the spot
that he was going to investigate, and
he climbed on top Of the building ac-
cOmpanied by another telegraph oper-
atOr. They found the lower part Of
the clock filled with cobwebs and
spiders were sliding from the main
spring down to the end Of the pendu-
lum as gracefully as a SMALL boy coasts
down hill.
The mass of web was removed and
then LipscOmb gazcd into the stomach
of the clock. "Acute Indigestion put
this cOntraption on the bum," said he
as he began removing a bale of hay
and feathers which had been carefully
deposited in the clock by birds year;
ago.
After it had been cleared of the
debris, the operators procured a can
of oil and proceeded to Intricate The
oil was absorbed by the cog wheels as
rapidly as it would have been CON
sumed by a sponge. When the clock
had drunk its fill, Lipscomb "wound
it." The weights were then adjusted
and the pendulum was given a shove.
1t was off. The big clock licked .ius-
like it did fourteen years ago.
The clock was running on schedule
time last night. "But don't brag abous

FRISCO CHANGES TWO TRAINS
New Time Gard Puts Poplar Bluff and
St. Louis Trains Later.

Only two alterations are made in
the running time of the Frisco trains
in and out of the Cape on the new
time card that was received by Station
Agent Neal yesterday afternoon.
The Poplar Bluff train No. S73 will
depart at $40 p. m. instead of $50 p.
m. as it has done heretofore. The
Memphis to st. Louis afternoon train
which formerly arrived in the Cape
at $40 p. m. will arrive at 3:55 p. m.
and depart at 4.
This change is caused by additional
time required to run by Caruthers-
Vile
All other trains will run on the
schedule formerly in effect for them.

Officials of FOrnfelt who have been
seeking 10 close a contract for the
pavement of about a mile and quar-
ter of the city's streets, have succeeded
in closing the proposition with the
Murray Construction Co., of Sikeston,
it became known here yesterday. The
Council held special meeting to ap-
prove the deal.
The cost of the work will be about

cial tax bills which are turned over to

Job were first opened, the Council has
endeavOrcd to close the contract witt,
several different contractors.
Considerable difficulty has been cx-
pcrienced by some of the men in get
ting a loan on the tax bills.
In closing the deal with the Murray

FOrnfelt have agreed to take over the
property Of any individual along the

the tax bill. Through this arrange
ment, the payment of all tax bills is
