POLISH THE YOUNGSTERS TEETH with SOZO.
DON'T, and when they grow up their mouths
will be garnished with sound and handsome
ones. The foundation OF many toothache Is
laid in childhood by neglect, and it Is very inn
portant to the well-being of either child or
adult that the teeth should be well taken care
OF. Bad teeth are no fit masticators of the
food, and breed dyspepsia. Make them white
and strong, therefore. with SOZODONT, pre-
sentative OF supreme excellence and purity.
Use 1t without delay.

Of magicans and the dexterity Of skilled engi-
reers. Let the people be,odre, lest they be caught
bettoeen the aoteeis The late exchange OF love-
letters between the leaders Of the civil and
military rings In some way reminds me OF the
historical incident Of Jonah and the whale.
The swallowing was got along with we'll
enough, for the "great fish " had been "pre-
pared " to do that But afterward Jonah
"cried by reason Of his afllction," and the
great fish got very sick-so much So that "it
vomited out Jonah upon dry land" Mean
while, let the good citizens OF Vermont keep
right on looking for a man for governor, and,
for the other state officers, men who are not
only intelligent and honest enough to know
they are right, but courageous and enterprising
enough to Ego ahead" Vermont has been
progressing backward too long. Give us a
good live state ticket, and we will give it a
rousing majority in September, say forty
thousand. FARMER GRIMES.
TAKE A REST.
A republican tried and true, in the prime of
manhood, who has valiantly fought the battles

vate note says: 81 hope there will be no dis
trust Of Colonel Pingree growing out of the
unfortunate fact that DR.. Nichols addressed
him instead of the republicans OF the state.
positively knoW that Pingree was taken COM
pletely by surprise, and am equally sure that
he is just as independent of all connection,
past or prospective, with the powers that were
as you or | are. The fight was good one,
was well won, is now over, 80 far as that Office
Is concerned and the old managers will be
mighty wary about invoking its renewal.

think, is good policy"

WANTS A GENERAL WAKING UP.
Mr.. Editor Il have watched with a good
deal OF interest the discussion of the governor
question in your paper am pleased to know
that there Is one paper in the state that is not
run in the interest OF the machine. and Is will

to suggest name for governor, and that Is the

think the honorable position he holds now is
enough to recommend him to the position of
governor. The voters throughout the state
ought to know pretty generally what and who
they are voting for IL they vote for him, rs
large part Of them have had the opportunity of
meeting him face to face. | well remember
him In the legislature Of 1878. His high moral
character was apparent to any one that desired
to learn the standing of their colleagues. He
did not blow fishhorns on the streets Of Mont
pelier with Ely-Goddard on Sundays neither
did he drink Ely-Goddards punch. Vermont
having large preponderance of farmers, why
not have farmer governor? But while we
are looking after the state officers, why not
look after the county officers, too? think it
will do no harm to have general waking up,
and see II something cannot be done all along
the line. There Is just as liable to be a screw
loose close at home. II Dr. Nichols has been
selling rum In violation Of law all these long
years, why have not the officers of the law and
the good temperance people of Mortified done
something about it? Have our courts become
30 contaminated with the rum power that it is
impossible to bring criminals to justice? Or,
have the people become 80 corrupted that they
stand aloot? We are sorry to say that these
rum suits are not pressed with the vigor that
other criminal suits are and think 1t high
time that every voter and taxpayer looked into
this matter ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

Of the probate court in the estate Of Eugenia
A. Wise, girl thirteen years Of age, died in
the month Of February, 1881. leaving an es.
tate, mostly real estate in ST. Paul, valued at
$4,000. The nearest relatives were uucles
and aunts, brothers and sisters Of Eugenia's
parents. In the probate court John r.
Adams ct al =, brothers and sisters of Eugenia's
mother, claimed that the whole estate should
go to them, as she had inherited it from her
mother, who died interstate few wears be-
fore. This claim was made under section Z
of chapter 46 OF YOung's statutes
John L. Wise ct al, also appeared
in the probate court, and offered 10 prove
that. although Eugenia did inherit the estate
Immediately from her mother, her father
was the real source OF her title; that her
father, a short time before his death. con-
veyed his property 10 her mother to save ex-
penses OF probating bis estate. Judge
McGrorty refused 10 admit the testimony
offered by Wise et al, and ruled that auces-
trail estates did not exist in Minnesota and
that the next Of kin, that is the uncles and
aunts on both sides, should share In the
estate per capita. A decree was entered in
the probate court in accordance with this
ruling, and from this decree an appeal was
taken to the district court. The decree wss
affirmed BY the district court This is the
first case in Minnesota in which the Question
has been tested.
