COTTON GOODS CUT

MANCHESTER, N H., September
pa reduction of 33s per cent in the
price of manufactured cotton goods
was announced Wednesday by the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company Of
this city. The present weekly pro-
duction of the company, which en-
ploys 10000 operatives in it's cotton
departments, is 100000 yards.
Fear that the cotton market already
unsettled because of heavy c~ancella-
ton orders, might reach a condition
similar to that which has forced the
closing of the company's wooden de-
partment, is given in the announce
ments as the reason for the price re-
auctions.

FARMERS At H. S.

The Short Course in Agriculture as
planned by the Vocational Agriculture
Department of Mcmillan High School
will consist of 80 hours work, the
character Of which will be determined
by those taking the course. No one

or four of the following subjects may
be treated: dairying, feeding of farm
animals, grain crops, forage crops,
soils, poultry, care of garden and or
chard. A farmer will come to any or
all the work, but likely will select only
those in which he is most interested.
A strong effort will be made to make
hte course a profitable one. A lib
rary of $50 good agriculture books
and 600 bulletins will be at the dis
posal cf those who desire to pursue
any line of work beyond that given
in the course The large part of the
work will be done in the evening, but

some of it on Mondays.
Those interested in the work will
meet at the High School Monday
evening, October 4 at 1880. No
charges made is conducted at the high
school

storier of ths Dame. BOYS.


P. E. Locke Of the Mexico Power
Company sends in the following
stories Of the James boys, relating
actual experiences with them:
A good many years ago, Bob
Powell, in the Dudley district, made
a horseback trip to southwest Mis-
souri,. AS he was returning, late one
afternoon, a prosperous looking man
caught up with him. 1t didn't take
the man long to find out who, and
what Bob was. 1t being about time to
seek a place to turn in for the night,
the man suggested that they stop at
a pleasant looking place.
The man said he was a mule buyer,
and was going to see a bunch some
miles beyond the place where they
stopped. Soon after they turned in,
two other prosperous lockers rode up,
and asked to be taken in. They were
allowed to put up, also. In the course
of conversation, they also turned out
to be mule buyers, and were headed
for the same bunch, and it was agreed
that they join the first mar the next
morning. When they were shown
their rooms, Bob and his friend were
put in one room, and the others were
quartered together.
When they ~undressed, Bob's friend
took off a pair Of guns, and asked
Bob if he was armed. He said mo,
I have nothing, save my pocket knife"
He was told that, in that country, it
was best to be armed, as trouble was
likely to spring up at any time.
But" he said, you get in behind, and
I'll see that nothing happens to you"
They had a peaceful night and all en-
joyed their rest.
Next morning they rode together,
till they came to the other road"
when they parted. on after Bob's re-
turn home, something in the papers,
regarding the outlaws caused Bob to
believe he'd bunked with one of 'em,
md had visited with two more of
EN-. Years after, when Frank James
came here, with a circus, Bob, thought
he'd see if his suspicious were cor
rect. He saw Frank in the parade, and
as soon as he saw him, said, yes, that's
the man.
Had he known whom his bed-fellow
was, perhaps would not have enjoyed
the honor.
Some years ago, in the western part
of Missouri a mar with a good 100
acres died, leaving a mortgage of
$14O0 on the farm. Lands were cheap
at that time, and the widow was not
able to get another loan, nor effect a
sale. The money-lender was pleased
with the outlook, was preparing to
foreclose, and get a bargain. The
James boys heard of the conditions,
went to the widow and told her they'd
hide the amount under a big rock on
the premises. She could get it, and

and get the cash, and they'd take care
of the matter. After the shark, with
his lawyer, had been paid, and started
back to town, THE Boys" met 'em,
and, when the interview was closed,
the shark had parted with funds, and
had only only unpleasant feelings to
take home with him. He took legal
steps to regain his money, but the
court held that, as she had found the
money, there was no conspiracy, and
he, of course, pocketed his loss.

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,

nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
