''Perhaps you would MT think so, but
a very large proportion of diseases in
New York comes from carlessncss a.
bout catching cold" says DR.. Syrus Ed
son. 1T is such simple thing and 81
common that very few people, unless it
is case of pneumonia, pay any attention
TO a cold. New York is one of the health
lest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet
there are graet many cases of ea,arrh
and consumption which have their origin
in this neglect of the simplest precauion
of every daY life. The most sensible adj
vice is. when you have one get rid of It
as soon as possible. BY all means do not
neglect it." DIR. Edison does not tell you

Senator Morrill, ana His Successor.

There is no question about the hold
Senator Morrill, has upon the conf
dence of the people and Vermont. If
the hand of time could be removed
and Mr.. Morrill, set back to forty
years of age, he would be his own
successor in the United States Senate,
and so continue for another twenty
five or thirty years. 1t is not his elo-
quence but his integrity that endears
him to his state and brings to him,
unasked, the respect of the nation.
He has always had in mind the great
est good to the greatest number, and
to accomplish this has never employ
ed clap-trap arguments, Or made
buncombc speeches. He has hit hard
and often at popular falacies and al
ways with fearless disregard for per-
sonal consideration. His success has
been phenomenal and the outgrowth
of sturdy honesty in political methods.
A half and half man could never
have done this. A man mnst be sin
cere to the back bone to bank on that
sincerity during over thirty years of
public life. A public man who never
deceives himself will never deceive
others. Senator Morrill, may have
made mistakes but they were not the
outcome of policy. His long and il
lustrous career is drawing to close.
Not by the votes of his constituents,
but by the limits of human life. Who
shall succeed him? This is an impor-
tant question to Vermont. The east
side and the west side are both in
terested, but the "unwritten law" of
politics has established certain claims
hard to overcome. From the east
Tside there are numerous candidates
and more are likely to arise. There is
generally no look in such directions
Congressman Grout has had an eve
on the Senatorial succession for some
time. lie is remarkably industri
Gus man and never let's an opportuni
tv slip to make point. If anybod,
wants to know anything or get any
thing done that Mr.. Grout can blin!
about, he sets himself at il with plen
ty of vim. He has made many friends
He has made himself felt in Congress
more by persistent push and hang do
perseverance than in any other way
But such things tell. He will be
formidable factor in the coming Sen
atoriul fight.

A KickapOO Yarn.

When great men speak little fell
lows should doff their hats and listen
and swallow too. Leastways this
is what many do. But human nature,
in some instances, is much given to
perversity, and some Of these fail in
oil cases to gulp down, without ques-
ton, some of the smart sayings of
great men, like Levi Kickapoo Fuller.
His excellency, the distinguished ex-
governors latest reported utterance,
is that, through the free text book
law, the people of the State will eff
feet a saving of 100000 a year.
Don't that sound good? And isn't our
Kickapoo a great man-great on pa
per; great in figures, if he does the
figuring. But is this true? No. Not
a tenth part of it. This figuring
would give an actual saving, annual
ly, of nearly five dollars for each
child in school. Can any sensible
person for a moment believe it? And
if this is so where does the saving
come in? 1t may be possible, but
hardly probable, that slight saving
may be made in the purchase of the
books, but who will get it, if there is
any, is another question. Then the
only saving possible will be in the
passing of books from one to another
Now if anyone can figure the wortl
of speller, reader or arithmetic t.
the second child after the first on,
has got through with it and subtrac
the loss in the difference in care ex
ercised by parent and child in tn
book they own and one the tow
owns, something of guess can b
made as to the saving. That thi
will reach 100000 is simply absurd
if one-tenth of that amount is save,
let us all be thankful.
You ask how comes such absul,
calculations? Doesn't Gov. Fulle
know better? Possibly. But SITE
readers should not lose sight of tn
fact that demagogues and self-seek
ers, little ones as we'll as big ones
are always striving to make believ
that they are in favor of everything
that will save the poor tax payer
penny. Sometimes the poor tax pay
er gets on to these fellows and the
they don't look SO big-baring thei
cheek.
The SITTER is decidedly in favor O
free text books but having no AK
for the poor tax payer to grind ca
tell the truth about it it will not say
the people any dollars and cents bu
it will enhance education in that
will furnish all, rich and poor, Xix
facilities. That is all there is to il
That is enough.

Few Members Of the Fire Department Sur

Probably Reach Two Hundred.

BUTTE. Jan. 15.-At 9:55 O'Clock
the fire department responded to a
call from box ~, the call of death to
yearly the entire department. The
or in the Butte Hardware company
warehouse, and both contained pow
der. There was a rumor that there
was pow der in the building, hut this
was denied, and after a moments
hesitation the firemsn began fighting
the fire. At 1870, when the men had
barely started to work, there was an
explosion which shook Butte to its
very foundations. The powder in
the warehouse blew up, Speeding death
and ruin to all who were near. All
but three of the firemen were killed.
1t is believed that in the first ex-
plosion only the firemen were killed.
There were heroes among the spec.
tators, however, and as soon as the
stun of the shock passed away, while
some ran in terror, others immediatly
began pulling the multilated bodies ol
the firemen and the injured from the
proximity of the flames. From al
over the city people began moveinl
toward the fire, and the crowd had
greatly increased within five minutes
just about that length of time after
the first explosion, a second explosion
almost equal in volume to the first
heightened the terror all over the
city, and spread death and desola
tion at the disastrous scene. In thi.
explosion scores of citizens wer'
killed. Parts of bodies were hurled
scores of feet away. One man neal

almost struck by the leg and thigh o
a human being driven by the force o

There were still heroes left to hell

groaning dying to distance, but tn

there is so large a proportion that
knows no home and that always runs
to scenes of excitement that some will
