year, will not exceed $135,000 Very re-

A. ID. MOOre's Motors.

The Watchman Publishing Company
found it necessary during the last year to
replace its Tuerck water motor, which had
become utterly useless. After careful ex-
animation of its merits and comparison
with other motors, a proposition of A. ID.
Moore of Montpelier to put in one OF his
machines was accepted. 1t is due to Mr..
Moore TO say that every claim made for his
motor has been sustained during the six
months and more the machine has been in
operation. In this motor stream is re-
ceived on each side of the wheel, and one or
both may be used. Plausible in theory, this
idea of two streams, one striking down.
wards against the buckets, the other on the
opposite side striking upwards, is very eff
fective in practice. The mechanical prin-
ciples Mr.. Moore has embodied in this mo-
tor operate to secure maximum OF pc YER
at a minimum expenditure of water. We
belle ye it is true that this motor in these
practical qualities, which are the qualities
every purchaser seeks in motor, leads
every other in the market. With This mo-
tor we have an even speed wheth or running

and 1t runs our three-cylinder presses, in

never been able to achieve under the motor
we discarded Not only is the speed strong
and even, but the running is silent. The
machine is simple and durable in construc-
ton, there is no leakage. through the boxes,
and is easily managed in every particular.
It's construction is a guaranty against re-
pairs. Mr.. Moore is an ingenious and a
practical mechanic. In this motor he has
combined mechanical principles and con.
su uction in a machine OF the first class.
Besides motors of different capacities,
adapted to various kinds of mechanical
work, from light to heavy, he makes motors
for pumping church organs and applying
power for the use of farmers and for run
ming coffee mills. For grinding coffee he
makes coffee mill and motor c)mbined,
running and performing its work efficiently
and with dispatch. Whatever in the way
OF machinery Mr.. Moore undertakes in the
way OF mech snical devices is we'll and in
genlously done.

Senator ThurstOn of Nebraska,

Among the recent senatorial cleo
tions, Vermont, and the capital of Yer
mont in particular, takes lively inter-
est in that of Hon. j. M. Thurston,
whom the legislature of Nebraska last
week chose to represent that state in
the upper house of the law-making
branch of the national government.
Mr.. Thurston was born in Montpe-
lier, August 81, l847. The family went
to Wisconsin in 1854. The father was
one of the early volunteers in the late
civil war and died in the service of The
Union. The young man was compelled
to paddle his own canoe and to assist
in the support of his mother and fam
lily. BY dint of juvenile enterprise, he
accumulated enough money to enable
him to attend school. He read law and
was admitted to the bar at Portage,
Wis, in 1869. He began the practice
of his profession in Omaha, roughing
it until grit and native talent asserted
their sway and he began to rise in the
world. In law and in politics he made
his way to the front, becoming con-
spicuous figure at the bar and lead
ing and controlling spirit in state and
national politics. For fifteen years he
was identified with majority of lead
ing cases in the courts of Nebraska,
and when, in 1888, he became solicitor
general of the Union Pacific railway he
had the largest general practice of any
lawyer in that section of the state. He
was member of the Nebraska legis-
lature in 1875, presidential elector in
1880, and an active and influential mem
Der of the national republican conven-
lions of 1884 and 1888.
The dull record of Mr.. Thurston's
rise in his profession and his advance
ment in politics tells little of the quail
ity and power of the man. In the
presence of political convention, in a
political campaign, in which work is TO
be done and the minds of men are to be
swayed, he is prairie fire in the sweep
and brilliancy of his oratory. Many
people in Montpelier will remember
one of the earlier rallies in the cam
paign of 1888. 1t was quite informal.
There was speaking from the veranda
