A Great Victory Thus Far— This is the Bill ot Archie N. Frost of This City

Boston, May 3.—The senate held an interesting session yesterday afternoon and by a vote of 20 to 5 the senate ordered to a third reading the bill to compel railroad companies to transport bicycles free of charge, as baggage. This measure Is * the bill prepared by Representative Archie N, Frost, of Lawrence.

Mr. Joy of-Middlesex and Mr. ROB.-: of Suffolk spoke against the bill. Mr. Joy saw in It constitutional objec- tions and an attack on the railroads. Ho offered an amendment to strike out of 1 rie bill as it came from the lower branch tlte penalty clause. -Mr. Tolman of Barks-hire led the

fcght for the-bill. H*t».ould not op- pose the amendment, but ridiculed the idea of the railroads fighting the law on the score of unoonstitutionality as suggested. Incidentally, he suggested *<hat recent development* in relation to railroad leases, etc., had demonstrated the fact that the railroads oj Massachusetts were run In a most adriltrabty ndrairtageotie way-totuthc. stockholders. The simple demand' that the railroads carry bicycles free of charge was a just and fair one. He explained how ihe committee had agreed in executive session on the measure and urged the senate to pass It.

Mr. Ross, also a member of the committee, but who had not appeared previously as a dissenter on the bill, caused some surprise by opposing it. He charged the wheelmen with not baring acted in good faith. 4e wauted to see the bill killed. Mr. Joy brought' Mr. Tolman to his feet again by charging tam-wlth javl-itS revealed secrets of the executive session.

Mr. Tolman replied that he would stand by everything he had said. "Ami 1 want to say that personally I do not believe the senator from Middlesex (Mr. Joy) Baw any great, objection to section 4 till very recently," he said.

Mr. Innes of Suffolk spoke for the bill. It was ordered to a third reading, 20 to G, on a rising vote. Messrs. Ross, Joy, Reynolds, Lawrence and Maxwell voted against it.

The street railways committee reported the general bill for the joint use of tracks of street railways. Messrs. Gardner of the senate, and ParsonB of the house dissent from the section exempting the Boston elevated.

CURRIER'S PLUMBING BILL.

In the senate yesterday Senator Currier explained a bill relative to the licensing of plumbers and supervision of the business of the state board of health. It was opposed by Senator Tolman, who saw no reason why the board should go into thr plumbing business. It Was ordered to a third reading, 14 to 4.

Mrs. Kate Tryon o£ Attlehoro, gave an interesting lecture 011 'Birds* at Nevlns Memorial hall Wednesday evening, she having been engaged by he school committee. There was

1 good attendance, the audience including local school teachers, pupils and many citizens of the town. Mrs. Tryon was introduced by Superin- tendent White, who, at the same time, took "OOcaBion to speak of the generosity of the trustees of Nevtns Mem- orial in allowing the use of the hill for so many public purposes. Mrs. Tryon was thoroughly acquainted with her subject and she treated it In a manner Interesting to her audi- tors. The children wero especially Interested In her talk. She confined herself to the birds most com- monly seen in this locality. She | 3howed pictures of about 20, lmi* I tated their notes and gave interesting facts regarding their homes and habits. In closing remarks after th" lecture Superintendent White said that possibly Mrs. Tryon would give another talk later and the audience seemed anxious gfhat she might. While in town Mrs. Tryon was entertained at the residence of Mrs. David Nevlns. 8he* was much delighted with the town, and expressed her appreciation of Its scenery and adornment.

It is possible that Methuen people may be obliged to pay a trifle more for Ice this year than they did during the summer of 1899. 1 Companies in several cities and towns have already issued schedules for the coming season which give prices over double those charged for ice here last reason. It 1B not expected that the price will be doubled, here, however,- - ,. ;_ \M-ti

A CASE OF 'TREMENS.'

Can be Brought on by Coffee,

It 4s a wen kuown fact that one can bring on delirium tremem just as viucly by the use.of coffee as of yhls- ky and the coffee habit Is just as much a condition of slavery as the rhtsky habit. To be sure, if one USB (onstitut'on enough to stand the ef- ""'s of ^fthnr eoffee QJ.yJL(gK-SP^ Pre

fers to continue their use, that might! xiiaV£rj question for them to decide,

o says Mrs. Amy K. Glass of Rolfe, a., who con'tlnues: My mother never

drank coffee until in middle life, it produced nn obstinate case of dysen- tery, which could not be chocked with medicines until she. gave up coffee. She is now stxty-flvo years old and welcomes {he Postum Cereal Food CoC- for for a warm-, drink at breakfasts

i lu:s made her well and ruddy where bufore she-was 111 and ^lacking tbl apnearaitce of good red WooJ wli'.cii °he now allows.

I. regard Postum as the greatest bletltng to mankind. It is a curious condition to hear temperance lerturrr., talk to people about the liquor habit, hen frequently, they themselves are slaves to the coffee habit.

Poytum Cereal Food Coffee, when thoroughly boiled, yields a perfect breakfast beverage, beautiful in its rich golden brown color, with a ripe crisp, toothsome flavor, while the iu- gredlehts are such that nervous sys- tems are built up by the action of ■mall molecules of Phosphate of Pot- flph obtained from cereals, without which, the system cannot make brain matter and the gray substance that nils the nerve centers all over tlw body. The discontinuance of coffee and the change to Postum Food Cof- fee therefore works at both ends, for the good of the user.

A small piece of butter the size of two peas, placed in the pot. will prevent Posum from boiling over.

A motor ambulance is set down as the latent thing in horseless vehicles and one that has just been put in operation by St. Vincent's hospital. New York, is said by its maker to be the first automobile ambulance to be built and put in service in this or any other country. "An ambulance of thia kind," he says, "possesses many advantages over its horse drawn pro+otype, A greater speed is attainable; there la more ease and safety for the patient; ltmay be stopped within its own length when running at full speed, and on ae-

London, May 3—1.10 a. m—The immediate objective of Lord Roberts is to establish a line of British posts from one frontier of the Free State to the other at right angles with the railways, thus preventing Boer raids southward.

It la essential, therefore, that the Boers should be expelled from the rugged N'Chu district and be forced to retire to Ladybrmnd. As the result of the desultory fighting Monday and Tuesday the Boers were pushed back a few miles but nothing decisive appears to have been yet attained.

The Boers continue to follow their harassing tactics. One well horsed commando, operating in the neighborhood of Sannas Post, interferes with the, British convoys going from Bloem- fonteln to Thaba N'Chu.

Preparations for an advance continue at Klroberley. Sir Alfred Mll- ner has written to the mayor of Klro- berley assuring him that the relief of Mafeking has not ceased to occupy hia attention and that of the military authorities and that nothing will be left undone to raise the siege at the earliest possible moment.

The rirlfiph garrl«"" along; jhe rail_ way to Warrentown have been atiengthened and supplies are going forward. A mounted force has gone to Barkley west in consequence of the Boers having occupied Windsorton A thousand Boers threaten the com munications between Boshof and Kimberley.

Malala. chief of the Taungs, ha In- formed the British that the Boers are preparing to resist their advance at Bhokwani.

A correspondent at Lourento Mar- ques cabled Tuesday that a large part of the investing force at Mafeking had been withdrawn. Gen. Buller continues quiei. The Boers assert that they are delaying an attack upon him In the hope that alt the horses of the British will die of horse sickness. According to a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph with Lord Roberts. Pres.'Kruger is again asking for peaee terms. . ,

The departure of the Boer delegates from Holland for the United States and what they have said of their purpose and hope to draw British attention to American views of the war The Dally Chronicle says: The men who count in the United States are not likely bo .accept the views which Messrs. Fischer and WesM intend to place before them.

John Smith Dead From Self-Inflicted Wounds; His Wife May Die.

Boston. May 2—John Smith, who lived in Carver street, attempted to kill his wife and another woman this afternoon and although he failed, he Is dead from a self-inflicted pistol wound.

The shooting occurred at the home of the Smiths during a quarrel. Smith was '3elng prosecuted for non- support and in leaving the court this noon, after a continuance of the case, he went to his home. When the door bell ring was answered. Smith went Into the house and directly to his own apartments. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Maud Alpine were there and in a quarrel Smith use* his revolver. Both the women were shot in the back but Mrs. Alpine's wound did not prove serious. Smith shot himself afterwards and death came in the evening. Mrs. Smith's wound is serious but may not have a fatal end. Smith was a hotel cook and was about 45 years of age.

count of its> weight it runs with greater smoothness."

The gears in use are an adaptation of the carriage gear, but Improved and made identical with the pedestal gear used on loeoinotives. The wheels sre of wood, and are furnished with three- inch solid rubber ttret. The rear wheels are 42 inches, and the front wheels ac Inches in diameter. The motors which drive the rear wheels are mounted on the rear axle. The steering is done with the front wheels by means of a small handle close to the driver. tJn- der the body. In a box, is carried the 44 cell storage battery, which has sufficient power to drive the vehicle 25. miles on one charge, and at a rate of speed varied by a controller from a ■1<T— —"''" » miles an hour.

The smbulanee, as described by the | New York Tribune, is trimmed inside with leather, and has room for two patients besides the surgeons. Twenty candle power lamps are fixed at either side of the driver's seat, and another lamp of the same power is placed in the roof and lights the interior. The windows snd the back door are plate glass. A new feature about the ambulance is the bed. This is arranged so that it may be pulled out and still remain attached to the body of the ambulance. When the vehicle backs up to the sidewalk the bed is drawn out and rests like a shelf over the sidewalk; when the patient has been lifted to it the shelf is moved back Into its place.

The new ambulance is supplied with all the modern fittings, and on a trial run it made a 14-mile trip to the perfect satisfaction of the builders.

At 10 o'clock yeattrday tho poor debtor case of Eratua J. Genille came up again before Judge Stone in the police court. Genille has been confined to the local Jail for about three weeks, having been committed from Haverhlll where he was refused the poor debtor's oath by Judge Abbott. John P. Lafebvrc Is the creditor who is pushing a claim kgalnBt Genille.

After serving a weflt in Jail Genille was brought before Judge Stone and at this hearing the court decided that CJenlile could take the poor debtor's oath. It was broukht out nt this hearing tint the debtoT had petitioned himself into bankruptcy In New Hamp- shire and a trustee had been appointed. This divested the debtor of all property and tins being the case iudge Stone ruled that Genille was entitled to take the poor debtor oath.

After this point had been decided the debtor was charged and tried Tor attempting to defraud his creditors hy transferring; jjroperty to his son, George Genille. . The cTalrrTwag-tn&t a fraudulent conveyance of a team was made by the debtor to bis son, there being no legal papers passed between them.

Yesterday the arguments of counsel were heard. Lawyer H. J. Colo of the law fh-m of Peters and Cole of Haverhlll appeared for the debtor and Lawyer Alexander Young of Haverhlll waa counsel for the creditor. a*1**

After the arguments Judge Stone decided that It hitf not b?\,n , pmeen beyond a reasonable doubt that the debtor was guilty of the charges* of fraud and he ordered his discharge. His honor then allowed him to take the poor debtor's oath the same being anilnistered by Clerk Moyes. t; entile was released from custody after taking the osfh.

Tho creditor appealed from the court's decision on the charges of fraud and tho case will go to the superior court. The debtor Is allowed his liberty while the case is pending.

Death yesterday removed an In- fant from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Long, 15 Bunkorhill street. Maudcllne I.ong was the little one'B name and her age was seven months. The fatal malady was scarlet fever with which the infant had been ill for several days.

It Is impossible to have a good complexion unless the digestive organs perform their work properly, "unless the stomach by properly digesting the food taken' Into it furnishes an abundance of pure blood, a good complexion is impossible.

This Is the reason so many ladles are using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they promptly cure any stomach trouble and they have found out that perfect digestion means a perfect complexion and one that does not require cosmetics and powders to en- hance its beauty.

Many ladles diet themselves or deny themselves many articles of food solely In order to keep their complexion clear . When Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets are used no such dieting Is necessary, take these tablets and eat ail the good wholesome food you want and yem need have no fear of Indiges- tion nor the sallow, dull complexion which nine women out of ten have, solely because they are suffering [rom some form of Indigestion. ,

Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from good heath, good health results from perfect digestion and we haw advanced the best argument to induce

WINE VS. COFFBB- )WKW\

A Test Case.

A wine maker's wife'on whom ] was talllnK a .war or--two ago urged mtf to drink a largo cuu of verj BtroBfl coffee when I ha;l declined ti tjikc a glass of wine for the reasoi tlmt the wine affected me unplcas antly. The. coffee was so stroni that my head reeled and rolled for two or three days, and I decided the wine would have been the more temperat> drink after all.

'! hrul been a moderate user of cof fee bat hud linen suffering from sicl headaches for some time and wai becoming very suspicious that coffee WJS th< cause of them. After thl. experiment, the drug power of cof fee was made so plain that 1 abandoned it altogether and had a lont season, of hot water drinking wWcl is not enjoyable, as you will admit.

'After awhile I was Introduced tt Po?.tum Food Coffee, and it proved l joy and promise of pleasure to come. It tested so much like coffee that waited for some of the evil effects to develop. They did not come, so i drank it three times a day and stil continue. The habit spread from me to the rest ot the family. Eve. father a confirmed coffee drinker, 8^ years old bow drinks Postum with great roiisli, and bis health has been beeter the pa*t winter than for several feats..

On Christmas we had s reunion of several old-time friends and served Postum instead of cotTee. One oi th«, ladies who hold's ' an Important educational position and must care foi her nerves, said. 'Olvs me the smaller', CUD.—I d***e not dînk coffee.* Sh« was fold that it was not coffee, but was Postum. After drinking a litti* (if It she said, T never liked Postun' before. The way we made it, it wa.-- so colorless and flat, but this is deli- ctotis.' and she passed up for the second cap.'

'I explained thst she could alway* have Postum delicious IT she would follow the directions as to th amount to use and the time to boil.' Mrs. M. P. Halnes, Prospec! Park. Cal.

ODD FELLOWS

Throughout the City Say That a Mistake His Been Made In Prosecuting Him.

X.. W. KNAT1P, M. D. How any man may quickly .cure him-

self after year* of *offorins from sex- ual weakness, lost -vitality, night loaaea, varlcocele, etc., and enlarge small weak ornans to full IIM and vluor. Biniply •end your name and address to Dr. L. W. Knapp. 2X73 Hull Bldg.. Detroit. Mhh , and he will gladly send thjft free, receipt with full directions so that any man may easily cure hlmsfelf at homo. This is certainly a most generous offer and thn following; extracts from his dally mall show what men think of his generosity.

'Dear Sir:-Please accept my sincere thanks for your's of recent data J have given your treatment a thorough

test and the benefit has been extraordinary. Jt haa completely braced me up. I am just aa vigorous as when a boy and rou ctrn realise how -happy I am.'

"JDear Sir:—Your method worked beau- tifully. Results were exactly what I n<reded. Strength and vigor have completely returned and enlargment Is en- tl rely satisfactory.'

'Dear Sir:—Yours was received and 1 h-id no trr>tiM<* of making us* »fj the re- c< dpt as directed and can truthfully say It is a boon to weak men. I am greatly ir iproved In slxe, strength and vigor.'

All correspondence is strictly confidential, mailed in plain sealed envelops. T he receipt is free for the asking and h-! wanta every man to have It.

Hugh P. fUmvaon is in Lawrence jail, unable to procure the ball imposed by the court.

Among Odd Fellows throughout the city the feeling is strong that a mistake has been made tn prosecuting him, rather than giving him time to settle—a mistake that is not to the credit of the lodge.

As a member of the United Broth- ers lodge said last night: - These matter* should be settled inside the lodge bails, not In a court of law. What Is our order for, if not to extend mercy to an erring and weak brother? In my opinion if the grand lodge officers had known of this, other and wiser counsels would have prevailed. I, myself, would rather have given $100 to make up any deficiency rather than scandal should have been brought on our beloved order.'

DO Y«U GET UP TttTH A LAME BACK?

Kidney Trouble lakes You -Miserable.

Almost everybody who reads the news- papers is sure to kndw of the wonderful

cures made by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

, It Is the great medi- al cat triumph of the nlne- JI| teenth century: dis- fl covered after years of J|] scientific research by .J-Ca, Kilmer, the emi- ' nent kidney and blad-

der specialist, and is wonderfully successful In promptly curing lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid troubles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble.

Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is not recommended for everything but If you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found Justine remedyyou need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to purchase relief and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper who have not already tried it. may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to findout If you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous offer In this paper and send your address to Dr.KilmerkCo.,Blng- hamton, N. Y.

Critical Piano Buyers Find Satisfaction IN OUR KIND OF PIANOS.

The Piano business is one of the straightest businesses there is--didn't used to be. No concern of any size practiced fraud to any great extent; the manufacturing is in the hands of only a few concerns, and they have too much at stake to be anybody's cat's paw.

But there are still good reasons for going to one store rattier than to another. You want the store first that has the greatest assortment, that is above all tricks, small or large; that carries out its promises to the letter and day; that makes every wrong right without any fuss; that has good taste in piokinej out choice styles; that has a big enough trade to keep prices down,

If yon do the right sort of thinking about these things we shall sell you your PIANO. T*+ + +• + + -f •*• + +♦♦+ +*+*+++ +♦+ + -f ♦+ + -f♦♦* *• ♦ +' -f '*# + •*•♦♦* ******•£ *• ♦♦•£ * * * « f -? -f f ♦♦■? •? -f -f• -f -f f. * *•♦♦•*> * -f * ■* * + * *• If* A **"

Announces His Candidacy for Congr«ss-What He Claims in Politics

E. W. Wright is sorry he let one of his team Wednesday. A south side plumber, Mr. Donovan by name, applied to him about 3 o'clock for i two hours lease, but it was this mom ing the buggy, a piano box, was returned, In pieces!

The horse was caught in North An- dover Centre, being located by a young man connected with The American office. The couth side plumber Is abundantly able to pay the mil fur dam- ages and will be called upon to do so. Mr. Wright will be more circumspect in future—It Is experience that teaches livery men.

When the news of the accident was received, at the stable several hands were sent out to look for the missing animal but they failed to. find any traces of the horse.

The team collided with a post els* turned a short corner at the corner of South Union and Salem streets about 12 o'clock Wednesday, at that time the horse was freed from the buggy. . The plumber and a friend was thrown out and the horse made his escape.

The buggy was a complete wreck, so was the harness. Early Thurs- day the wreckage was returned to the stable, the horse being taken back this afternoon.

CORBETT FOR CONGRESS.

New York, May 17.—From the prize ring to congress Is a far cry, but it Is James 1. Corbett's ambition. He seriously intends to run In the 12th district and hts friends promise to send him to Washington with a good majority.

'I fully appreciate that It is not customary to go to the prise ring for a congressman, he said last night, yet I believe that it elected I could discharge the duties of the office without discredit either to my constituents, to the party or to myself. Frankly speaking, I will admit that I would give much to receive the nomination, because I have always been ambitious to show that I possess other attain- ments than • those of a mere prlne fighter.

I aw a demount and have always acted with the organisation. If the nomination Is given to me my friends will see to it that I am elected.'

Earlier losses In Industrial stocks having been almost entirely over- come. The stockr of western railroads were easily the . leulers in the movement and the buying »as at- tributed to western account, as for several days past. This western buying is IHievcd In Wall strcrt to be covering an outstanJing short inter,at, prompted bv, the good crop weather and the favorable conditions in the winter wheat belt.

The leadership of the movenynt was antttM from Hnrllngton to Atehisori Preferred, the Jatt'r stock scoring a clear gait of two points. North- ern Pauflo, gained as much-and the strength of these stocks affected the other Paciflcs and ultimately the trunk lines, which rose from one to one and one half. Recoveries ensued from the demand - from the beai-a caught shnrt.

Items have appeared from time to time In the papers this spring that vegetation Is getting a serious set- back on account of the cold weather, but the fanners do not substantiate this idea. They say that it is better for the grass not to have It towwarm early In the spring for when it Is too hot, grass shoots up rapidly without having any depth or strength to Its roots, and later in the summer, it withers and dries up. On cold days the grass does not grow up much, but the roots go down, and when summer draughts come, the roots will bo deep enough to save , the grass from scorching, and the hay crop will be better as the result.

Percy Mllner of Worcester was in town over Sunday.

Capt. Henry R. Smith, a popular citizen of the Parish, and an efficient police officer, was surprised by about 40 of his friends at his residence on Main street, Saturday night.

He had been purposely invited to Lawrence that evening by William H. Somerville, foreman of the Lawrence Machine Bhop. They returned together, and were havilg a'social chat in the sitting Toom. Meanwhile the unexpected visitors quietly entered by the front entrance. Then the captain was summoned into the parlor, where he found, much to his astonishment, a company of merry-makers, who extended to him a cordial greeting.

Capt. Frank A. Coan was In the gathering, and, stepping forward, he presented, In behalf of those present, a costly oak rocker, handsomely up bolstered, to Oapt. Smith. The presentation speech was a gem of thought and expression, delightfully reminiscent, and admirably adapted to the occasion.

Everything was wholly a surprise to tho recipient, and he betrayed his emotions caused by the kindly feeling shown. Still, he managed to make a really capital reply, in which he gave suitable expression to his gratitude, in accepting the gift.

The rest of the evening until the midnight hour drew near was en- Joyably passed with a programme of song, story and Instrumental selections.

An abundance of good things were served and royal good cheer prevailed.

Nothing happened to mar the fes- tivities, and the affair proved a first class one in every essential.

The May supper and entertainment, by Olivet Chapter, Epworth League, Frldav evening was one of the largest attended and most successful affa|rs ever held in the Metho- dist vestry.

About 300 people wore present, and the greater part sat down to tho bountiful supper, finely served at four tables, graced with beautiful floral adornments. Mrs. Walter H. Paul, Mrs. Abbie K. Tufts, Mrs. Charles W. Hinxman and Miss Eliza Rand, who had charge of the tables were kept looking after the patrons from 6 to 8 o'clock,.

Miss Marion Paul attended to the home-made candy table, where a thriving business was done.

1» the ice cream department ware Charles W. Hinxman, John A. Be- dell and George D. Gile.

The entertainment, over which Mrs. Walter H. Paul, chairman of the committee of arrangements, presided, was a special attraction, and greatly pleased the audience, there being frequent manifestations of ap- proval and a number of encores, were responded to.

The program was as follows: Remarks Rev. J. F. Mears Piano solo .... Miss Rachel Stannard Reading, Mlas Angle Mae Dantorth Solo Miss Grace I/joker Quartet—Miss Susie Hinxman, so-

prano: Mrs. G. W. Morgan, alto; Frank W. Abbott, tenor; Alfred H. Watts, bass. Miss Plddlngton, ac- companist.

The capable committee of arrangements, to whom a large measure of tha success attending the affair is due, was composed of Mrs. Walter H. Paul, (chairman), Charles W, Hinx- man, Mrs. Alfred H. Watts and Miss Eliza Rand-.

ind is designed to stop the takeup roll the Instant the shipper is thrown by the knockoff mechanism and stop tho loom when the SlUng breaks. Without this attachment the momen- tum which the loom has at the time it Is knocked off will iwrry the takeup roll forward two or three picks before the loom Anally comes to rest. It Is then necessary for the weaver to turn the roll back to the position In which it was when the loom was knocked cB, which is difficult to do accurately, otherwise a thin place will be left across the cloth.

Such a defect is particularly notice- able upon thin goods, where any material variation in the number of weft threads will be readily ap parent. The attachment which Is protected by this patent may easily be applied to almost any ordinary loom now In use at a small cost It consists of a connection between the knockoff and the holding pawl of the takeup roll ratchet wheel which acts to lift the pawl out of engagement with the ratchet wheel the instant the loom Is knocked off, so that the roll carthot be advanced beyond the position whloh it occupies when tho loom Is knocked off. By the use of this device the goods are not only much more perfectly woven, but the production of a loom Is considerably increased.

A horrible accident occurred at the Williams farm at the west part of Methuen Monday afternoon shortiy after 2 o'clock, in whim one man was killed and another narrowly escaped a similar fate. "

The man who lost his life waa Fred Polkey, living aHl 1-2 Archer street in this city. The other man's name 1» Felix King. The men were gaged In digging a trench near the Williams barn, Mr. Pelkey having taken the contract. They had been at work about ten days and would haVc finished today. The trench was being dug for the purpose of drain- ing a well. The men were at work where the trench was 12 feet deep when a cave in occurred burying both men. William Williams, proprietor of the farm was away at the tlmt \s wore all his hired men. Mrs. Wil- liams heard cries and going to the side of the trench discovered that the men had been burled. She quickly notified Samuel Bennett and Charles Allen, who were in an adjoining held and In turn they called men from the Methuen stone crushing plant in a nearby pasture.

When the men arrived they found both men in the trench burled out ot sight. After digging nearly two feet down they came across King a:i'l as soon as possible be was removed. He was nearly exhausted, his head having been completely covered by a second cave In after he had given the alarm of the first.

Pelkey'B body was covered by several feet of dirt and when it was recovered life was extinct. A Me- tluien•■physician was called, but there was nothing he could do to resuscitate Pelkey. He worked over Ktnj; and soou brought him around so that he could walk. No bones were "broken. As far as is known no bones wore broken in Pelkey'B body. He Was suffocated by the mass of dirt which fell on him.

The man killed was about 43 years old and leaves a wife and three children. The remains were turned over to Undertaker Conture of this city. '1 he date of the funeral has not been decided upon. _ Kltyt is a man nearly 50 years old and resides in this city.

A minister gives his experience with coffte drinking and Its effect on l*is health, but requests that his name be omitted, and only furnished lit reply to inquiries that may be addressed to the Postnm Cereal Co., Ltd.ft at Batth CreekrMich.

He says he had catarrh of the atom aeh and dyspepsia caused by drink ing coffee. _ By advice of the physician he left off coffee for a lew yearn and drank hot water. In vrtslting one of the homes of my congregation about a year and a half ago. I was Intro- duced to Postum Food Coffee, the lady of the house saying that tea and cof- jy» had vary bagUy affected a daughter and that since slie had quit them IrotH and used Postum Food Coffee, she was ,,-iy nun h improved in health.

I tried a cup of it and found no effects following. On my return home I get .a package, and enjoyed Its use very much better than either tea or coffee, it having none of the harsh taste of those beverages. 1 took to using Postum both morning and night and found it benefited me In a most marked way.

Our eniliiren anjoy it , gad. keep healthy and well. My wife und the ,-rv int have both stopiicd the use of toffee and enjoy Postum better than ho former. As yott will oimeive tip-

Slitira family have been improved in health by making the change. The minister's name is Rev. David T. Robertson.

Postum Food Coffee, has a well-de- nned work in rebuilding the nervous system that lhas been broken down by the use of coffee. This is particularly iu,l i, <• itiio- In highly organized individ- uals. The Postum is ntade from pur grains, and BBlectea! parts that con tain-phosphate of potash, are u-ail.

The delicate particles tihus obtained from nature are known by chemists to unito with the albumen of food, from which tlio gray matter that fills th hrain tint! nerve centers is made. There is a rue and sc.ii-ptili, reason why Postum Food coffee strengthens the user, both mentally and physically anil these facts can be proven in any ease whero a trial of ten day.t or two v.-eeka will bo aiven.

The Austin block on BroadVay Is being repainted.

The Arlington wool shop has been shut down for an Indefinite period.

DsaUists, Room

London, May 17—3.30 a. m. — The British relief column fought the Boers at Kraal Pan. 32 miles south of Mafeking on Tuesday, according to a telegram received Wednesday night at Lourenzo Marques, from Molopo, one hundred miles north of Mafeking.

Thlc intelligence is accepted here with some reserve because It is dif ncult to understand how the news could have been so quickly put on the wire from a plate 132 miles from the scene of the engagement.

A correspondent of the Morning Post, presumably Mr. John Stuart is reported captured by the Boers at Kraal Pan. The British public Is keen ly expectant of the announcement that Mafeking has been relieved. In army circles te opinion seems to pre- vail that this has already been accomplished although two bows after midnight the war office asserted that news of the reHef had not been received. The steadfast courage of the hunger-bttten gan ison-haw produced a deep impression; and the news of succor is awaited with more than anxiety than has been felt regarding any other event of the war. , ■

Mr. Douglass Story, the Daily Mail correspondent at Pretoria, wires:

The Boer government is holding Hark some big news. Feverish activ- ity prevails here. Prpsi'knt Kruger Is working night and day. Thff latest Roer official bulletin is that the relief column baa been defeated with great loss."

Lord Roberts continues passive at Kroonsthd. His cavalry are stretch- ing like a semi-circular screen many miles in length, overlapping flanks. The railway will probably be completed today. The Kroonstad cen- sor permits the passage of long despatches dealing with incidents prior to the occupation.

It seems "that General French's cavalry had one lively fight after crossing the Zand river. A mixed squadron, composed of the Scots Grey, the InniskiUings, Carbineers and Austra- lian horse, took a kopje and dis- mounted. The Boers suddenly fired from a concealed position, killing many borses and stampeding , the rest. The Boers then advmnred in overwhelming numbers and drpve the the squadron, capturing some. The Boers robbed the dead and looted the saddles. Finally a brigade of cavalry drove them off.

Farther north the Hussars charged the Boers, killing and wounding many stragglers with sabres and pistols.

Lord Roberts' infantry marched 120 miles in seven days. General French

'marched 30 miles in one day. The Boers when retiring, dragg*ed 32 guns through Kroonstad.

General Buller is moving toward Newcastle. He appears to be using 25.000 men against 5,000 or 6,004) His operations will almost certainly result in his forcing his way into the Transvaal possibly in time to co- operate with Lord Roberts' advance, although General Buller 13 now 252 miles from Johannesburg or 25 days march.

A Dane who was captured by the South African horse, says that there are five hundred Frenchmen with the Boers who are opposing General Buller, together with many Germans and other foreigners.

the Dally Tetesraph says that only one Boer was shot in the movement which resulted in the taking "4 Help- maakar.

General Rtmdle Is sweeping through the northeast of the Free State. The Boers are dissolving before him and some aesurreDderlng. Their main force is assembles Detwcen Frrks burg and Winburg nt it U without close organization.

Today's installment of the war stor* from every part of the field, is therefore seemingly a narrative of British successes; but, with the Boers preparing for a last— desperate flins further in the Interior and with Boer guerilla parties looting houses and stores in the northwest section of Cape Colony, It Is not all roses for the British. The Upington district Is the loeallty where the guerilla tactics of the Boers are Just now most In evidence. '

The proposed congress of the Af- rikander bund has been called to meet at Paarle on June 15.

A Canadian battery of 15-jwunders arrived at Heirs,Portuguese East Africa, May 1.

The Ixjurenzo Marque* correspond ent of the Times under Tuesdays date, says:

•"There has been a heated discussion In the raad In secret session respect- ing the expediency of destroying the mines. The result is not publicly known. The foreign mining rep resentattves are greatly alarmed and have addressed strong representations to their respective consuls. Per sons acquainted with Col. Baden Powell's scheme of defence at Mafe- king assert that the occupation of the KafflY location by the Boers would not endanger the garrison provided relief came quickly.

A telegram from Cape Town says that Mr. Cecil Rhodes has decided to retire altogether from Cape Colony politics.

THE SIMPLEST Cl'RE FOR IN- DIGESTION.

As Well as the Safest and Cheapest.

The new merl,, il discovery. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the fowl instead of making the' worn out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, and a cure of dyspepsia Is the natural result.

You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets wiii thoroughly digest sll wholesome food taken Into the stomach whether UN stomach works or not. A cure is •crtain to result because the diges-

flve or gans are given, a chance to NSl and recover their natural vigor and ton*1. The Tablets are then no longer required.

To show the manner in which dpi remedy acts on different people and how qiticklv a'nd effectively it cures -tomach troubles we present a few recent cases.

Mr. J. O. Wondly of Peoria, Ills.. writer. 1 was unable to eat ' anything but the plainest-food, and even that often distressed ma, but since JSlng one boi of Stuart's Dyspepsia lai.lt Is. I can eat any'.hiug and everything I want.

-Mrs. A. E. Bowen. Barnard. Vt.. writes: I tUink Stuart's Dyspepsia Talets are ths best tiling for dyspes sla I ever took. I will recommend them - to anyone troubled as bad as I was.

One Member Severely Dc nouncci the Pott—As to Memorial Day

The courteous communication sent to Needham post by Gen. bawton post, and 'smothered,' but given to the press and so made patent to all, has aroused much unfavorable com- ment because of the fact of the 'smothering.'

One respected member in good standing In Needham post, was strong In his denunciation of the action of some one in not presenting it saying that the action was despicable, that the communication was courteous and proper and should have received consideration. It is probable that the action of Needham post will not aid in healing any breach that may ex- ist. Report has It that the action and responsibility la entirely that of one individual.

The members of Lawton post have received through the mall individual Invitations to participate with the 'Methuen post In the exercises of Mem orial day. These have been acceptd The members will meet at their hall and there take a specta electric which will cenvey them to Methuen. As the organization is not a post it cannot appear In uniform or with badges, but there will be a similarity in dress of those- present.

It is expressed upon the btreet that the least the old post can do is to meet, consider the action, or want of It rather, and wipe out, as far as can be, the slur thrown to old comrades in arms.

Four cases of measles, two of typhoid, one of diphtheria and one of scarlet fever were reported today.

A saving the city might make is in the rent paid for quarters in the Cen- tral building of the park and license commissions. There is no doubt but what the cost will total the formid- able amount of J10 per hour for the time used—an expense that might be done away with by using the council chamber always at the disposal of the government for city business, and much more convenient.

MISS HALUDAY RELEASED.

Miss Emily Halllda?, who was lint week scntenic! to the house of correction, for l.reeny for four months, will be released at once by orders of Judg"} Stone as further investigation shows the young woman worthy of such treatment.

The story was told yesterday In the police court of the separation of Aughtney O. Parian.) from his wife. The evidence submitted showed that the couple had had a happy home, but the time had passe I when they lived together as man and wife. It ccein ed to be an unusually sad case and one In which the husband was wholly to blame. He was arrested on the charge of non-support of his wife and children.

Patfzno has a wife and children in this city but he has not contributed to their support for a long time Mrs. Parlmo received information that her husband contemplated making another matrimonial venture without consulting bcr or going through the formality of obtaining a divorce. She complained to the police, and Inspector Sheehan went to Wr.e and -when, he returned Parlmo was with him. The young woman in Ware Is shedding tears and the wedding has been Indefinitely postponed.

When the case camo up in court yesterday Mn, Parlmo testified regarding her husband leaving her. Sue was represented by Lawyer 1-Mwnrd P. Morton. She was neatly dressed, wearing a suit of blue material with white shirt waist under the Jacket. Her hat was a olack straw with s yellow plume and chiffon trimmings. She was quite ôod looking.

ADVISED TO SURRENDER.

Cape Town, May 23.—It is reported here that President Kruger has received a communication from Mr. Abra- ham Fischer, one of the Boer dele- gated now in the United States, advis- ing him to surrender on the best terms obtainable from Lord Roberts. It is also underdstood that when Lord Roberts crosses the Vaai river lie will issue a proclamation announcing that if the burghers return to their farms their property and stock will be re-1 cured work at the Washington mills spected. j as a mender and later went to work

The Winchester factory of the Unit- ed Shoe Machinery company, employ- ing nominally 660 hands, shut down yesterday for an Indefinite period, though the men have reason to bellevo that the factory will resume business In about two weeks. Men who wore working In the establishment when notification of the shut down was given are said to have been promised half pay during the Interim.

The machinist' union claims it has been instrumental in forcing toe issue. A strike was ordered Tuesday and « few men came out. Yesterday bow- ever, more than 100 men left the various departments, and it Is said that the wholesale departure crippled the shop so that Its operation was Im- practicable.

The trouble began about ten d«« ago when 50 men and *eys aere dU charged, the reason belag oven ai lack or orders to hên the factory busy. The dismissed help care thi reason for the discharges as an effort to crush a onion that was being organ Ized in an attempt to secure shorter hours.

The factory has been In operation in Winchester a number of yearn, and this is the first labor trouble of sufficient magnitude to Interfere, with work. The management la not ready to make a public statement concerning the situation.

The union claims it has won a signal victory. A meeting of the men interested in the strike was hold In' Winchester last evening.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free.

This supreme remedy for fe male diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache," fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine Is a godsend to weak, sickly, rur down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 60 cents. Sold by John J. For- rest, Druggist.

Low- ell, Lawrence, Andover, Methuen and North Andover were represented in the company. David Brown and John A. Abercromblc, his employers, were In attendance.

Mr. Edmundson gazed in wonder at. the assemblage, for the visitors came without his knowledge. He quickly received a second genuine surprise, however, when James Mitchell stepped forward, and. In behalf of his shopmates and friends, tendered him a fine gold chain and charm. Mr. Mitchell's presentation speech was very fitting to the occasion, fellcitious in expression and gracefully delivered.

While moved by the kindness shown the recipient responded In a fellcitious vein, thanking all for their remembrance. " *,

The beautiful gifts, reminders of esteem, are greatly appreciated by the receiver. On the charm is en- graved: 'Presented to John Edmund- son by his shopmates and friends, May 19, 1!>00.'

South Bank of the Rhenoster River, May 23-1."0 p. m.-We found on our arrival here this morning that the ♦nemy had fled during the night. They bad occupied a strong position on the north bank of the river, which had boon carefully entrenched, but they did not think It advisable' to defend It when they heard that Ian Hamil- ton's force was at Hellbron and that our cavalry, which had crossed the river some miles lower down this Btream, were threatening their right and rear.

The bridge over the Rhenoster, several culverts and Borne miles of railway were destroyed.

Ian Hamilton's force drove the Doers under Ret De Wet before them from Llndley to Hellbron. The passage of the Rhenoster was stoutly disputed. Our loss might have beon heavy but for a well corrected plan which brought Smlth-rtorrlen'c brigade on .he enemy's flank Just at tho right moment.

Mafeklng, May 18.-The whole town s animated with a keen sense ot exul

•ation over yesterday's victory, which was complete, decisive and far-reao!i- Ing.

Tho military position, nhortly afte: sunrlse, was extraordinary. All -the outlying works of the town were In- tact; the British had lost hardly any .men and yet three bodies of the fed yrals, right Inside the British llnrn. had been surrounded, cut off and rtvea an opportunity to surrender which they declined. Commandant 3are! Eloft did not realize that his supports had been driven back and he nformed a messenger that the town jvas at his mercy. Toward noon there was a lull In the fighting. Eveiyhody it headquarters went to breakfast anr. .he comrnisslarat requisitioned for horse sausage, bread and water for ho men on the lighting lines

There was no thought of half ra ions. Everyone got all he could eat Ihe British in the staat, moving

,'rom rock to rock, gradually drew n t'n'elr circle around the federals vhom they corraled like cattle In s ;om pound.

Shortly after 4.30 p. in., a white lag was hoisted by the enemy, and then, amid ringing cheers, the Umt batch of Boers was disarmed and sent to the town. The erstwhile besieger., furnished an Inspiring spectacle to she townsfolk, themselves BO Ion, cooped up. As the hungry, dirty, lattle-stained Boers marched between Jie gleaming bayonets of the British the British population received then respectfully hut the Kaffirs gave full rein to their enthusiasm, hoots and yells and similar expressions of de light. The prisoners seemed glad that

''he fight was over. As the afternoon .advanced the crackle of musketry be gan again, continuing until, nearly 7 o'clock when Captain Singleton shouted: Cease Are. A message had conte

ports," which had been clr- Ifronl hendquartrs to the effect that it was expected that a com- Elnfr' "'* of"cers and men had sur-

rendered and had lain down their arms unconditionally to Colonel Hore.' who, with p. handful of men, had b-en prisoners of Eloft during most of tho day.

Look for the Wanting.

Heart disease kills snddenlj, bat nerer without warning. The warn* logs may be faint ana brief, or may be startling and extend OTer many years, but they are none the less certain and positive. Too often the victim is deceived by the thought, '•it will paaa away." Alas, It never passes away voluntarily. Once installed, heart disease never gets better of itself. If Dr. Miles* Heart Cure §A used in the early stages re- coverjQs absolutely certain is every case wVre iU use Is persisted In.

"Fbr fnany years I was a great sufferer from heart disease before I finally found relief. I was subject to fainting and linking spells, full- ness about the heart, and was unable to attend to my household duties. I tried nearly every remedy that was recommended to me and doctored] with the leading physicians of this section but obtained no help until I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. It has done me more good than all the medicine I ever took."

The strength of the labor organizations in this city was never more fullv demonstrated than last night when 1000 men paraded the streets for the purpose of arousing a wider interest In the traders union movement and at* so to assist the local building trades in their efforts to secure an 8-hour day. The MdrwalKs were lined with people who watched the parade with interest

Over 1000 people gathered ir. the hatl to bear the speaker of the-even- Ing, Max B, Hayes, secretary of the Cleveland Central Labor union and editor of the Cleveland Citizen, a li- bor organ. A reception was held in the uldermanic' chamber, where Mr. Hayes was introduced to a number of labor leaders.

John B. Cameron presided at the meeting. Among those on the rostrum were Mayor Chase, Aldernmn Scates, Councilman Malley and Whitney and Rep. Carey, all representatives of the socialist party in Haverhill, ex-Rep- Cullinane and other men. Rep. Car*y was introduced as the first speaker. He said:

You who form Hie great majority of the people of the earth may say of the Jabor movement that the In- dustrial Caesar who Is your master is

Mr. Hayes was received with ap-i plant e, and the band played. Mr Hayes is an eloquent, witty and forcible speaker. He said-

I desire to express my sincere thanks to the Central Labor union for its kindness In Inviting me here lo speak on the industrial struggle. There ought to be no question as to why there should be a reduction In the hours of labor. We are compelled to marvel at the number of people who art Kt'H hi employment.

Common laborers can advance their own Interests by organizing. It Is your duty to organise the textile workers who are working for a plttantcc which would be despised by a tramp. They could gain concessions fronvthe mill officials If they would only stand together. We are the people, who produce the wealth and we ought to handle it.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.

Kcgnrding Remedies for Dyspepsia aul Indigestion.

The national disease of American* is indigestion or In 1t3 chronle form, dyspepsia and for the very rr.ison that It is so common many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifling stomach trouble when as a matter of fact, indigestion lays foundation for many Incurable diseases. No person wtlh a vigorns, healthy stommh will full a uciiui i<i consumption. Matty kidney diseases and heart troubles ditc their beginning from poor digesti'in; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomachs :ire out of gear; weary, languid, faded QUtjvomcrfowe their condiUoa„to-im» perfect digestion.

When nearly every person you meet is afrlictcd with weak dlgthtion it Is working In this city who wou not surprising that nearly every secret rather be dead than drag out tfcolr

The laboring people should own Iho machinery. Today it Is all In the possession of trusts. The lain ing men should form a trust and raise the price of labor In the open market because they nee* the nvjncv. The working people want emancipa- tion. Join the trade union movement. Labor will cither go down llilo slavery or they will shake oft their shackcls and enjoy their full freedom. Ho who would be Tree must strike the first blow. The upper class Mill mt cmaiitiipate yea. You only receive one-fifth of what you produce. There are women

patent medicine on the TOarket claims to be a cure for dyspepsia as well as a More of other troubles, when In far t as Dr. Werthler saj>8, there Is but on> genuine dyspepsia cure which Is perfectly safe and reliable and more- over this remedy Is not a patent medicine but It Is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal_mat- ter.) vegetable essences, fruit salts and bismuth. It is sold by druggists under name of Smart-fl Fryspepsia Tab- lets. No extravagant claims are made for them, but Tor indigestion or any artomnrti trouble, Ktuart'a Dyspep- sia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy- yet discovered. They act on the

unhappy existence. If you had sent the women and your babies to the ballot iKix we would not be >tt$ the condition we are today. You must send laboring men to legislative halla Instead of lawyers.
