Rheumatism Soon
Becomes Chronic
The Result Of Tired Kidneys
Failing to Expel Poisonous
Waste Matter.

Tired. over-worked Kidneys allow
poisonous uric acid to remain in the
blood instead of expelling 1t from the
system. That is the cause Of chronic
rheumatism. The disease gets into
some joint or group of muscles and
settles there. and only strenuous treat
ment will dislodge it.
Rheuma softens the uric acid crys-
tails lodged in the joints and muscles,
causing the terrible pains, and passes
them out OF the system through the
kidneys and bowels.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. Unless 1t is pure the organs
become diseased. Rheuma purifies the
blood and the kidneys then regain
their natural activity.
Tragic Drug Co. and all druggists
sell Rheuma at a price so inexpensive
that 1t is folly to be without it,

CARNIVAL NEXT WEEK
Street Fair Under the Auspices of
the Fire department.

The Plattsburgh Star says OF Lat
lips show to be seen at Fire Depart
ment Carnival next week.
Palmer's lot last night had every
appearance Of miniature Coney Is
land, with its myriads of lights,
shows big and little, concessions of
every conceivable sort, and merry
crowd of sight-seers and pleasure
seekers
Captain Latlip certainly has an am
bilious undertaking on his hands, but
by his skillful way of handling things
everything goes like clockwork,
There are sixteen big shows with
enough variety to suit any taste
They are all under the Captains SUI
peryision aud the strictest discipline
is adhered TO-
Perhaps the most pretentious show
on the grounds is Harry Luken's
trained animal show Dens of sleek,
clean looking lions, stalk back and
forth in their cages, leopards crouch
furtively, drowsy bears loll in their
dens all to be aroused later by the
sharp crack of the whip of the dar-
ing young lady, who does not hest
tate to place her head in the lion $
mouth. Ponies, dogs and monkeys
form the domestic part of the inter
esting show
May 0 OLoughlin and her six diving
girls have their own pavilion. This
young woman does some wonderful
stunts No less than u dives are in
her repertoire. She holds a standing
offer of 500 to any man, or woman
who will duplicate her performances.
The English Daisies, Crazy House,
Athletic carnival, Hindoo shows com
plete with merry y-go-rounds, ocean
waves, ferris wheels and other attrac-
tions that make the place veritable
wonderland for young and old
The fire department was extremely
fortunate in having secured the Lat
lap Exposition Shows as an attrac
ton for the big weeks benefit. Adv

FIRE IN BRUSHBACK
FACTORY HARD
TO SUBDUE
Plant of ]. I. DuCkas & Co. Bad
!y Damaged This Noon
LOSS COVERED BY INSURANCE
Low Water Pressure and .lnflam-
mable Conditions Made Work for
Fire Department.

The plant and portion of the
building used as brush back factory
on South Branch street was badly
damaged by fire which was discov-
cred shortly after noon today. While
lie was unable to estimate the loss,
AS. Payne, the manager stated that
the loss was as we'll covered by in
against loss in structure of the
kind.
A small fire was discoverd by en-
ployes late in the forenoon but it was
extinguished and when the plant shut
down at IL O'Clock it was supposed
that the danger had been eliminated.
A few minutes later, however, fire
was discovered in the dry kiln and
an alarm was rung in from box IA.
AS soon as the department began to
arrive it was apparent that the fire
was serious one and general
alarm was sent in.
The location of the plant is much
nearer the reservoir than the busi-
ness section of the village and the
water pressure at that point is not
high. The firemen were able to
conine the flames to the eastern or
older half of the building in which is
large portion of the machinery.
The building is entirely of wood
and the, accumulation of shavings
that is always present in a wood
turning plant made the worst pos
sble combination for fire. The
walls did not fall but the interior,
the machinery and what finished
stock there was on hand was badly
damaged both by fire and water.
The building is owned by j. c. Col
gate and wife of Old Bennington, but
is under bond for a deed to j. e.
Duckas of New York, who is the f.
nancial agent of the brushback com
pany 1t is understood that Mr.. Duck

BRITISH AVIATOR
WRECKS GERMAN
ZEPPELIN
Young Canadian Performs Brilliant
Feat Mile Above Earth
FIRED BALLOON WITH BOMBS
Zeppelin Blown Up and Burned and
Its Entire Crew of 28 Men Were
Dashed to Ground.

London, June For the first time
on record a Zeppelin in fight has
been destroyed by an aviator in an
aeroplane.
Reginald A. J. Warneford, a young
Canadian Sub-Lieutenant in the Roy
al Navy, who made his first fight at
Hendon only four months ago and
had been with the flying squadron
only month, is the hero OF the extra
ordinary exploit, which was preform-
ed a mile aloft over Belgium at 3
o'clock this morning.
Tonight the Zeppelin lies a wreck,
sprawled on the roof and ground of
an orphanage near Ghent. Failing
there a blazing mass, after being
struck and exploded By the young ay-
iator's bombs. its crew of twenty
eight men were killed as were also
at least four occupants Of the orphan
age buildings.
The aviator is safely back in the
British lines after a thrilling exper-
ience The explosion of the Zeppelin
turned his monoplane upside down.
He was able to right his machine, but
had to descend in hostile country,
whence he quickly flew off and made
his escape.
1t is thought here that the de-
stroyed German airship is the one
that raided the east coast of Eng
land last night The fact that it was
in the air over Belgium early in the
morning seems to indicate that it was
returning from an expedition, and
not starting. Dawn breaks early
these days, and the huge Zeppelin
could be sighted far off. SO it is pre-
sumed that the craft was headed for
her home hangar when Warneford
flew to attack her.

RESOLUTIONS
Relative To the Death of the Late
Governor Mccullough.


Governor Mccullough.
AT meeting OF the Board of Di-
rectors of the First National Bank of
North Bennington. VT held June 5th,
1915 the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
We record, with deep sorrow, the
death of our late President and fell
low director and our dear friend John
G.. Mccullough.
He became director of this bank
in 1873 and its President in 1883.
For nearly 40 years he has chiefly
managed and directed the conduct of
its business and affairs and its uni
form and continued success has been
largely due to his faithful and intel
ligent oversight, his sound judgment
and his practical wisdom and ability.
His keen sens Of duty and his
fidelity in it's performance was al
ways remarkable and in no case
more so than in his constant and
faithful attention to the affairs of
this bank.
Although generally absorbed in
matters of much larger scope and
greater Importance, as Governor of
the State of Vermont. as President of
the Panama Railroad and also OF the
Bennington & Rutland Railroad, as
one of the active managers of the
Erie Railroad, as a Director of the
Central Vermont Railroad, the Atchi-
the Bank of New York The National
Life Insurance Co., OF Vermont and
other important business institutions,
he, nevertheless, always found time
to attend to the less important ar-
fairs of this Bank
Throughout his long and useful
life, full of honors and characterized
by distinguished success, every trust
reposed in him, every duty imposed
upon him, was always discharged
with unfailing devotion, fidelity, in
dustry and ability.
Although strong and positive in
his views. he always showed due con
sideration for those OF his fellow di-
rectogs and we shall not soon forget
the pleasure of attendance at the
meetings OF the Board over which
he presided
His relations with us were always
of the most oonsiderate, genial and
friendly character and we mourn his
loss as that of wise counselor, a
faithful leader and dear friend
Resolved that as evidence OF our
great respect and affection for our
late President and co-director this
minute be entered upon the records
of this Board and copy be engross-
ed and presented TO his family with
our deepest sympathy.

GERMANS MENACE
LE MBERG AND
AIM At RIGA
TeutOns Pushing Steadily Toward
Both in North and South
RUSSIAN DEFENSE is WEAKENING
Germans and Austriana Trying To
Encirclc Lemberg With the Same
Tactics They Used at PrzemysI.

London, Tuesday, June 8-If the
Germans have transferred troops
from the east to the west, as reported
they have held sufficient men on the
eastern front to continue without
relaxation the offensive that has car
ried them and the Austrians almost
across Galicia.
The forces which pinched Przemysl
into surrender are battering their
way eastward, and, according to both
the German and Austrian official com
munications, are at one point in the
southeast hardly more than sixty
miles from the Russian frontier, The
troops which swept through Stry
have continued further east until
they are thirty miles beyond that
town and equally beyond Lemberg,
the position of which appears peril
Gus.
Further north they are eighteen
miles to the east of Przemysl, so that
roughly speaking, the encircling
movement on Lemberg is duplicating
that at Przemysl.
The Germans are also on the offens
i've in the Baltic provinces. Their
official statement records the cross
ing of the river Windau, to the south
east of Libau
A Petrograd dispatch received in
London last night says:
"Telegrams from Riga report the
Germans active to the north, north
east and east of Libau The military
authorities expect heavy fighting at
Mostzisk. where the Russians will
make determined stand

and they appear also about to lose
their position on the River Dniester.
These same advices indicate further
that the Russians to the east and
northeast of Czernowitz already have
begun to retreat.
The following bulletin was issued
by the War Office today:
During the battles at Przemys, 33,-
sos prisoners were taken East of
Przemysl the troops of the Teutonic
allies continued their victorious bat

ward Wysznia, to the northeast of

taken has been increased TO more
