Frank C. Gillette of 339 St. Paul street says "For ten years I had a weak back and one never free from pain. Many a time I had to brace myself with my hands to move at all and groaned -and cried frequently. For years unable to do any heavy lifting, which other men around me were doing, all on account of my back and it seems to me wnen I think of it I used almost everything ever heard of besides wearing plasters, yet remained in just the same condition.

At last my at tempts to find a cure were rewarded. From W. J. Henderson's drug store I obtained a box of lioan's Kidney Pills, They went right to the spot. The kid ney secretions which used to be thick and highly colored, cleared up.

the backache went away and I had not the least indication of any irritation In my kid neys. To prove it I carried Hundreds of pounds on my back and felt no incon venience afterward."

UNIVERSITY NOTES. Varsity Minn from High School at Basket Ball Commencement Committees. The varsity basket ball team won its game with the Edmunds high school, at the college gymnasium last night, by a score of 17 to 7. The game was not especially interesting, being quite slow and interspersed with frequent fouls, on both sides. The high school, while playing a good field game, were clearly handicapped by the size of the floor and the position of the baskets.

The varsity made nine and the high school four points in the first half. In the second half the varsity added eight and the high school three more points to their score. Below is the summary of the game: i HIGH SCHOOL. VARSITY. McKenzie, Fogg Buck, W.

alias John "Wilson, alias James Wilson, was taken into custody yesterday forenoon by Constable Rav-lin of Winooskl as he was In the act of having a supposed forged check cashed at the Winooskl Savings bank The prisoner was placed in the county Jail In this city. The first incident which has come to light is one. which happened at the drug store of Marcotte Bros, on Main street Tuesday evening. On that even ing a man answering the description of the man arrested entered the store. and presented an order, purporting to be sent and signed by Ilormidas Man seau, a prominent French resident of the village.

The order called for whiskey and was to be charged to the account of Mr. Manseau. The order was filled. Yesterday morning a man entered the meat market of Fra-nk Niquette on Main street and presented an order, also signed by Mr. Manseau, calling for one dollar, the man explaining that he wished to borrow that amount from Mr.

Manseau, who, he said, was at work at the gorge and not having the amount on his person had sent the man to Mr. Niquette. who is a son-in-law of Mr. Manseau. for the amount, the former to charge the same to his account.

Mr. Niquette paid the man the dollar and inspecting that everything was not as It should be, telephoned to the gorge to Mr. Manseau, who replied that he had not seen any such man, but knew cf him. however, he having worked the came trick with success upon his wife about a year ago. The stranger in the meantime had taken a car op Burlington.

Constable Ravlin was notified and given a description of his man, who returned a few hours later and entered the savings bank. The constable also entered, when the stranger slipped out with the constable following, and placed the man tinder arrest, lie was taken into the drug store of M. J. Barnes to await the arrival of Mr. Manseau.

who had leen called. Mr. Manseau soon arrived nd recognized the man as one with whom he had worked in New Hampshire and who had since, come to the Village to work. Mr. Cole, the treasurer of the bank, when Interviewed last evening, said that the man presented a check for payment and was told that he would liave to be identified before payment could be made.

The check, as Mr. Cole recalls it, was made out upon a form from the Burlington Trust company and was for $49 and was signed by one Rogers. The man told the constable that he had worked at the mills and was also employed for a time in construction work at Fort Ethan Allen. When the Jail was reached the prisoner was searched and no trace of the check could be found. Several blank checks the form used by the Howard National bank of this city and a number of letters addressed to John Wilson, and others James Wilson, were found.

The name signed to the forged orders was that of J. K. Lee. The man is described as being about 35 years of age, a feet 7 inches in height, sandy complexion with mus tache, irregularly trimmed, of medium weight and wore, a medium length black overcoat with a black derby hat. The man will probably be given a hearing this morning.

THE RICHMOND FIRE. Appreciation of the Services of the Firemen Who Rendered Assistance. To the Editor of the Free Press: Richmond, XL, March 14. While we wish to detract nothing from the heroic work of any of the firemen, who so kindly and speedily came to our rescue last Friday and thu3 saved our village from a general conflagration, we desire, in Justice, to modify some of the statements in your article on the subject in Saturday's issue. When the fire originated at nearly twelve o'clock it was soon seen we must ask outside help and messages were sent to both Waterbury and Burlington.

The Waterbury boys having the shortest distance to come reached here about one o'clock and immediately got to work taking water from the Condensed company's tank, whose pump continually kept the supply good. With great courage and bravery they commenced the battle aided by the townspeople. The fierceness and severity of the heat from the flames rendered it necessary to keep the firemen drenched with water so they could keep at work. Their heroic persistance and well directed effort soon began to tell upon the flames and bravely they fought. It was then the welcome sight of the steamer and Winooskl and Burlington laddies appearing on the scene gave them new strength, but the Winooskl boys were at first handicapped in getting water, which they did from the river some distance away.

As soon as possible, however, steam was up and the engine at work. Danger was by no means over but it was evident that by judicious work the worst to be feared was past. With the combined efforts of both companies the conflagration was checked and the exhausted men from Waterbury gave way to the Burlington and Winooskl lads, who, by their good work in playing their stream upon the blazing ruins, relieved the minds of our townspeople of the fear of further damage. All did their duty well and the villagers feel thankful for their timely aid and all deserve and have the gratitude of our community. Yours, F.
