The defendant is also a prac
titioner of the law, and by his
side his brother sits to offer sug
gestions and advice. Mr. Ba; .> j

guilty and given $25, whereas if ;
he had plead guilty his fine

A case of refusal to work the

against H. D. Disbenit, who
plead guilty and took $10 and
costs as the minimum.
John Crump was cleared by a
jury, and the court discharged
A. J. Shere and J. R. Erwin, in

H
PESSIMIST AT TRIP’S END
In Tramp’s Garb—Connecticut Temper
ance Man’s faith in Charity Shat
tered by Unique Test.
1 m the New York Journal.
•Yinsted, Conn., Sept. 12.—
All is life William A. Gleeson,
a p sperous business man of
Torr gton, had been taught at
Sund V' school that clothes do
not it ke the man, and that the
worl judges one not from his
exte or. But he has put the
thin to a test and you cannot
tell im anything like that again.
1 little trip he took as mas
q rader has filled him with pes
- .nism. Di guising himself as
j tramp, Gleeson walked from
New York to Torrington, fond
in the hope that he would be
recognized at his true worth, and
that deaf ears would not be
turned on him simply on account
of his tatters.
But not alone did strangers
turn him down, but several
friends he called upon on the
route failed to give him a warm
er welcome. But two individu
als failed to give him the cold
shoulder, and one of these was a
dog. The other was a waitress
in a Bridgeport restaurant, who
believed his tale of misfortune.
TRIP THAT TURNED.
_ . t • c
Urieeson is county ujreciux ux
the Connecticut Total Abstinence
Union, and after returning from
the national temperance conven
tion at Wilkesbarre, Pa., he de
cided to try the experiment. His
disguise was perfect and his best
friend could not recognize him.
“If I get really hard up I will
call on my friends, without tell
ing them who I am, and I know
they are good enough people to
help a man'in distress,” mused
Gleeson.
He started from New York in
perfect weather, but toward aft
ernoon the pace began to tell
and he determined to try.his luck
on a trolley car. The conductor
would not listen to his story and
the traveler was thrown from the
car. Turned away from a dozen
farmhouses, he slept that night,
cold and hungry, in a field. He
had better luck on a trolley in
the morning because the conduc
tor was too sleepy to put him off
by force. Arriving at Stamford
his reception was cold and he was
driven from the back doors of
three friends who had in former
times talked to him of the beau
ties of charity. He is going to
tell them to practice what they
preach.
This proves that “Correct
Clothes for Men” made by Al
fred Benjamin & Co., New York,
are all important. The new fall
snowings Ol suits, xaui tvato,
box coats, overcoats and fancy
vests are now on sale by their
agents, the Star Clothing Com
pany, who have the exclusive
sale in this city.
Asleep on Ihe Rails.
Marked Tree, Sept. 18.—Mea
ger details have reached here
that.a negro named Frank Hay
swift had been killed by a Frisco
passenger train Tuesday after
noon about half a mile east of
Dewey’s mill, a small station
three miles from here. It ap
pears the negro had been drink
ing and wandered to the track
and fell asleep.
Murdered and Robbed.
Malvern Sept. 13. —Jacob Arm
kuecht, aged 40 years, tvas found
dead beside the tracks of the
Iron Mountain and shipped home.
It is believed that he was mur
dered and robbed. He was en
route to Galveston, Texas, hav
ing secured employment through
the Koenig labor agency.
ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
Piled Ties Upon Track of Iron Mountain
Above Swifton, But No Damage
Was Done to No. 6.
Night before last unknown
1 parties made an attempt to wreck
passenger train No. 6. between
Swifton and Alicia, Ark. Three
stacks of ties were laid across
the rails within a distance of a
mile, and but for the caution of
the engineer, Neal Goss, a disas
trous wreck would have oc
curred, says the Poplar Bluff
Citizen.
The pilot of the engine struck
the first pile of ties, fortunately
throwing them from the track.
The other two obstructions were
seen in time to enable the en
gineer to stop his train.
The law provides a severe pen
alty for a crime of this nature,
and the perpetrators should get
the full benefit of it.
The object of the attempted
wreck is generally conceded to
have been robbery, as that is a
a plan often used by train rob
bers to stop a train.

BAD HEALTH.
i Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we fiave
most to fear as a result of the feverish 1
restlessness of.modern civilization. It
is a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and rudd}' glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure i$ in red on the front label.

The sense of sight grows most
precious, though often the best
of glasses cannot restore to old
eyes even a portion of their
youthful power. These facts
should impress all with the im
portance of early care for the
organs of sight. Do not wait
till your eyes become impaired,
but have them tested at once, as ;
often an eye specialist can detect j
and remedy in time what might;
prove a serious trouble if ne- j
