THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.
The Red Cross Pharmacy Will Return
Your Money if Mi-o-na Does Not Cure
Dyspepsia and Increase Flesh.
There are hundreds of people in Barre
who were not the leat bit surprised when
they read in the Times that the lied Cross
Pharmacy is selling Mi-o-na under a
puaraniee to refund the money in case it
did not cure indigestion and increase
weight.
This remarkable preparation Is atnie
llesh-formitifi food, that builds up good,
healthy, solid tissues, and makes thinness
and serawniness a thing of the past.
It tones up the digestive organs, aud
will mire the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the depressed,
weak condition that artlu-ts nearly every
one who suffers with stomach trouble.
Ml-o-na does not simply relieve; it does
lasting c od.
In 6 out of every 100 eases where Mi-
o-na is used, the result is a restoration of
perfect harmony between height and
weight and an absolute and permanent
cure of all stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in Barre who
are recommending Mt-o-na because it
cured them. A few months ago they
were thin aud dyspeptic, and could eat
nothing without fear of stomach trouble,
bince using Mi-o-na they have made
noticeable gain in flesh, can eat what they
want, and when they waut, without fear
of suffering.
Jiemember that you risk nothing In buy
ing Mi-o-na. If it gives you the desired
effect the cost is trifling, If it fails the
lied Cross Pharmacy will pay for the
remedy themselves.

JEWS AT
OYSTER BAY
President Koo-eveit,
PETITION MAY NOT BE SENT
State Department Inclined to Think
Ilnatfa'a Heeent Activity In Matter
of KfshineS Outrages Should
rrecliide Farther Stepa.
Oyster Bay, NT. Y., July 15. An im
portant conference has been held at
Sagamore Hill between the president
and representative Jewish citizens of
the Society of the B'uai li'rith regard
ing the petition to the Russian govern
ment on the Kishlneff outrages. Be
sides the president, the parties to the
conference were Simon S. AVolf of
Washington, Oscar S. Straus and Leo
N. Levi of New York.
The administration has been embar
rassed by the delay of the representa
tives of the B'nal B'rith society in pre
senting the petition. A draft of the
document was handed to President
Roosevelt several weeks ago by Mr.
Wolf, but it was decided after some
consideration to modify the text of the
petition before presenting it formally
to this government for transmittal to
Russia. Time was desired, too, to ob
tain to the petition the signatures of
representative citizens of the United
States of all the religious faiths. As
a result the document was not placed
In the bands of the president until
now.
The result of the conference at Saga
more Hill has not been disclosed yet,
but n strong Intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
tho Russian government. The desire
of both the president and Secretary
Hay Is that the Kishlneff incident
should be closed ns soon as possible,
as further delay in its consideration
might prove embarrassing to this gov
ernment In other diplomatic negotia
tions with Russia.
May Not Send Petition.
Inasmuch as the Russian government
has indicated by the adoption of severe
measures a genuine disposition to pun
ish adequately the perpetrators of the
Kishlneff murders and In addition those
who Instigated them, It is a problem
for the president and Secretary Hay to
solve whether representations concern
ing the incident now are either desir
able or necessary.
It is suggested that the whole matter
may be resolved Into a brief statement
through diplomatic channels to the
Russian foreign office that such a peti
tion is in the hands of tho United
States, thus leaving it to Russia to say
whether it would or would not receive
the document if it were presented. It
would close the incident without sub
jecting United States relations with
Russia to a strain, and it is believed
would be quite as effective as the
actual presentation of the petition.
Members of the Jewish committee, to
getlier with Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of
the Review of Reviews, and his friend
from England, Maurice Sheldon Amos,
were tho guests of the president a
luncheon.
Secretary Root hns left for Washing
ton, lie said that ho could not sail
for England before the 2;id of Angus
because it was desirable that he should
see the general staff in full operation
before he left the country.

Clinton, Mass., July 15. A body of
striking stone masons who had been

the metropolitan water system, armed
with revolvers, marched among the
other workmen and with threats com
pelled 4,0 lo stop work. One man who
hesitated in obeying the strikers' order
was thrown Into the Nashua river, but
was rescued promptly by his nsso
elates. The police force, numbering u
few men, was inadequate to check the
strikers. An attempt was made to ar
rest one of them, but he eluded the
police after a chase in which he
dropped bis revolver. It was fully

HOISTED AMERICAN FLA!.
Venezuelan Prl-t and l'.mlinry H
ulixeil Its l:Hiol-er.
Soledad, Venezuela. July 15. The
situation before Ciudad Bolivar is un
changed. It was reported that tho
revolutionists hud evacuated the city,
but this turns out to be incorrect.
General Rolando, the comma mier of
the revolutionary forces, is still in pos
session. A boat bearing United States and
parliamentary truce flags left Ciudad
Bolivar and crossed the Orinoco to La
Soiina. President Castro's authorities
received the emissary, a priest, who
said lie came in the name of the for
eign consuls, the bishops and leading
trade to ask General Gomez, the gov
ernment commander, to receive him,
saying be had an important message
for him.
Learning that General Gomez was
not at Soledad, the priest departed,
promising to return. A correspondent
Questioned him concerning his reasons
for hoisting the United States flag, as
he is not an American. The priest
replied:
"Because the flag of the United
States is respected everywhere."
The priest refused to reveal the ob
ject of his mission;
Late at night the man-of-war Boli
var, with General Gomez aboard, ar
rived here. She passed before Ciudad
Bolivar and was fired upon, but with
out effect. .The Bolivar anchored two
miles above the city and placed her
self in contact with the besieging gov
ernment troops.
The remainder of the Venezuela a
fleet, composed of the men-of-war Za
mora, Restaurador, Miranda and Vente
tre de Mayo, are due here. When they
have arrived 4,200 men will be ready
to attack Ciudad Bolivar. The govern
ment authorities intend to give Gen
eral Rolando a chance to consider his
desperate situation in order to prevent
the useless shedding of blood. If he
will surrender he will be given full
guarantees for himself and followers.

structions to clean the war ship's
propellers, fill her bunkers with
the best coal and go at tho highest
speed, with natural draft, to French
man's bay, Maine. This is tho first oc
casion in time of peace that an Amer

Textile Strike Sot Hrokcn.
Philadelphia, July 15. The announce

ed by John & James Dobson at Falls

was stated that the firm had agreed to
pay the dyers ?12 for a week of sixty
hours. It developed that no direct
proposition was made to the strikers,
and the majority of them failed to re
port at the mill. A few are at work.

Moat House Murderer rays Penalty
of His Crime.
MAKES A-PULL CONFESSION
Killed famine Holland and Buried
Her Body In Ditch Mystery of Her
appearance Long Vnnolred.
Remarkable Criminal Record.
London, July 15. Samuel Herbert
Dougal, the perpetrator of the Moat
House murder, who was convicted at
the Chelmsford assizes June 23 of the
killing of Miss CaniiMe Cecile Holland
at Saffron-WaUb-n, Essex, and sen
tenced to death, has been hanged at the
Chelmsford Jail after making a full
confession of his crime.
The Moat House murder, as It was
known, was committed over four years
ago, and hope of solving the mystery
had almost been given up when the
body of the victim. Miss Holland, was
found last April buried in the Moat
house grounds.
Miss Holland was the owner of Moat
House. About four years ago Dougal,
who was supposed to be her husband,
but who, it was discovered subsequent
ly, had never been married to her,
made his npiea ranee there, and Miss
Dougal, supposed to be his sister, took
up her residence on the place. Miss
Holland then disappeared suddenly.
Dougal about a year ago sued the wo
man supposed to be his sister, but who
really was his wife, for divorce. This
aroused suspicion anil led to an Inves-

tigation. Dougal was arrested for cash
ing a check purporting to have been
signed by Miss Holland, and while he
was in custody the body of Miss Hol
land, for which a thorough but unsuc
cessful search had been made, was ac
cidentally found by a laborer in an old
ditch which had been planted over
with shrubs nearly four years previous
ly. The laborer struck hi3 fork into a
hard substance, which proved to be a
woman's shoe containing a woman's
foot. Then Miss Holland's body was
found lying face downward.
An examination showed that the
head had been pierced by a bullet.
which was found in the skull.
Two Wives Died In Strange Way,
Dougal was born In Loudon in 1S10.
He received a good education, but en
listed in t he army when twenty. In
fourteen years' service he reached the
grade of quartermaster sergeant. Up
to 1877 his service was all put in at
Chatham, but that year ho was trans
ferred to Halifax, N. S. When he
landed at Halifax be had two children
by a wife he married in 18(10. In 1SS5
the first Mrs. Dougal became suddenly
ill and died within two months under
circumstances uow considered sus
picious. Dougal was married a second
time to a Canadian girl, who died with
in a year. Both wives were interred in
the military burial place at Halifax.
Soon after another woman appeared
on the scene, the daughter of a Cana
dian farmer, whom Dougal brought to
England. She lived with him at Alder
shot and London, but in consequence of
ill treatment she left hiin, going back to
Halifax with a child and representing
herself as a widow. In 1SD2 Dougal
married for the third time, in Dublin,
and again, owing this time to her hus
band's immoral conduct, his wife left
him.
Other Women In His Life.
Two, if not three, mesalliances, In
which the women concerned were rela
tively well supplied with this world's
goods, are recorded in this stage of
Dougal's career. Being tried for arson
was another episode of this period,
Dougal having been accused of setting
lire to an inn in Hertfordshire which
he had induced one of his inamoratas
to take and which he had insured heav
ily. He was acquitted and similarly es
caped paying the penalty of the law
for abstracting cheeks from a check
book belonging to Lord Wolseley, who
was then in 18!)3 commander in chief
in Ireland, and of forging that officer's
name, lie was, however, convicted on
anouter similar enarge ana served n
year's sentence.
At the beginning of his term of im
pnsonmeni ne attempted; to commit
suicide. He was released at the end of
January, 1897, and in IXOS came to the
opening of the last scene in his amaz
ing career.

Indianapolis Grave Robber Telia
About T it u Murders.
Indianapolis. Ind., July lo.-OfEcer.
accompanied by Rufus Cantrell, chief
of the recently convicted band of Indi
ana grave robbers, who hud been
brought here, visited the Union Chapel
cemetery, near Nora, eleven miles from
Indianapolis, and two graves were
opened. According to statements of
Cantrell the body of Miss Carrie Sel
vage, an Indianapolis schoolteacher,
who disappeared from the Union State
hospital March 11, 1000, was to be
found there.
.Two men found the woman, said Can
trell, wandering on a country road as
they were returning from a grave rob
bing expedition on the morning of her
disappearance. They invited her into
their buggy, found she was demented
and took her to a cabin in Hamilton
county, where she was kept for Weeks.
She was moved later to a hut In Indi
anapolis, and when the search for her
became so close they chloroformed her
and buried her body In the Union Chap
el cemetery.
Cantrell, when ho arrived at the
cemetery, was uncertain as to which
grave she was buried in. He said she
had been placed in a grave that had
been robbed several months before.
Miss Selvage's brother was in the par
ty. Two graves were opened, and one
was found to have been disturbed, as
Cantrell said It would be, with the
rough box broken open and the coffin
lid turned upside down. The body in
It was not recognized by Mr. Selvage.
Other graves will be opened.
Cantrell, In his confessions, professed
to know the secret of the disappearance
of Kenneth Lawrence, a young man
who inherited ? 400,000 in Illinois and
Indiana property and who was last
heard of in New York. The sheriff of
Logan comity and the mayor of Bello
fontaine, Lawrence's home, are here
consulting with the officers. The dis
