form an act of mercy at a time when strong men were faint with horror.
 The train that figured in the &C., cident was in charge of Conductor James Wright and Engineer William Foran, both of this city. It was run ming a few minutes late at the time of the accident. which occurred at crossing that is regarded by many as a dangerous one.
 Coburn and Hussey were en route to this city at the time of the acci- dent. The big machine on which they were riding was a chain driven truck and, when in motion, a producer of much noise on it's own account, ac- cording to those who claim to be fa- miliar with it. This fact may have had something to do with the men not hearing the approaching train, which was running at a good rate of speed.
 AS quickly as possible Coburn was removed to the Day-Kimball hospital, where his name is on the dangerous list.
 Hussey's home was in Effingham, N. H., but he has been at Eastford and in MT. Coburn's employ for a consid- erable period. MT. Coburn formerly was the driver of the Eastford- Put nam stage.
 Town Re-survey Promises Surprises.
 Something of a surprise is prom ised, unoff1ciaIly, the citizens and tax payers of Putnam, when details that have been developed by the rc-sur- vey of property within the town are made known. This survey has been going on for about a year.
 Town officials who know something of what has been accomplished by this re-survey say that it means the adding of many acres to the total that Putnam has heretofore regarded as correct and will bring in for list ing very considerable amount of property that has been escaping tax ation for many years.
 It is stated that parcels of land ill the outlying districts that have been taxed as say 40 acres really contain, in some cases, as much as 100 and 125 acres It is said that instances have been found of land being listed for taxation below it's real value; that an instance of a tract of approximate ly 40 acres of heavily wooded land has been going into the list without 1t be- ing represented as heavily wooded land, etc. etc. as to the real facts es- caping from record.
 not cost the town over 1000. but that the worth to the town will be many times that amount through the years to come.
 It was hoped to have the re-survey maps and all details of the work done done in time for Mondays annual town meeting, but this proved to be impossible The valuable information that the maps will set forth will be available for the assessors this fall, however so that the town will get the benefit on all discoveries in the next grand list to be compiled.

GREAT REJOICING BY.
 RHEUMATIC CRIPPLES
If So Crippled You Can't Use Arms
 or Legs Rheuma Will Help You or Nothing to Pay.

If you want relief in two. days, swift, certain, gratifying relief, take one-half teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day.
 If you want to dissolve every par ticle of uric acid poison in your body and drive it out through the natural channels so that you will be forever free from rheumatism, get a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma from Lee & Osgood Co. or any druggist today.
 Rheumatism is a powerful disease strongly entrenched in joints and mus cles. In order to conquer it a power full enemy must be sent against it. Rheuma is the enemy of rheumatism an enemy that conquers it every time.
 Judge John Barhort of Ft. Loramie, Ohio, knows 1t. He was walking with crutches; today he is well. It should do as much for you; it seldom fails.

You get MORE than mere Gro

just that service, quality and appre-
citation that has made this store head

When you pay more you are pay

less, you are getting inferior goods.
None sell better, and none sell the
Best Cheaper than the Old Reliable.
The proof we are ready to show
you, lies in the fact that notwith-
standing, fair and unfair compcti-

disc at live and let live prices. and cut
throats selling junk, we are still sell

We will be glad to number you
among our friends and patrons, and
if cleanliness, the best goods made in
America or imported to America to-
gether with the best service possible
and as much appreciation and atten-
