Editor of The Tribune.
Sir.-In your open court would like to
address a few words to the people Of the
Fourth ward. At meeting of the several
ward candidates Of the Fourth ward 1t
was agreed by resolution to have flag
ticket with the name OF every candidate
printed thereon, and 1t was further agreed
that a stated number OK tickets were to
be printed and divided among the several
candidates. The tickets were printed and
divided as agreed, but II has since been
learned that one OF the candidates for
school controller. James A. Evans. has
had printed 1000 tickets each for the
Second, Third and Fourth districts, leav-
ing off the name of his opponent, Richard
Nichols, Notwithstanding the fact that
he agreed that all tickets should contain
the name of every candidate. One Of the
bogus tickets is now In my possession.

Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir:-There has appeared In the public
prints an article signed by Richard
Nichols. candidate for school controller
OF the Fourth ward, accusing James A.
Evans, the present incumbent and candi-
date for reelection, Of deceiving the vot-
ers, as well as his opponent, by printing
bogus tickets
The candidates for nomination met and
decided to have q nag ticket printed
bearing the names Of all the candidates.
The following committee was appointed
to do the work: Richard Nichols. Simon
Thomas. John j. Davies. The committee
met and formed n ticket entrustlng the
printing of said ticket to Mr.. Richard
Nichols. He. without the consent Of tho
committee and to the disapproval Of all
the candidates, changed the entire form
of the ticket. When asked his reason for
so doing. ne replied: II had an object in
View" The candidates when they dIscov-
cred what had been done. were very In
dignant and were not in favor Of taking
the tickets. At this point Mr.. Nichols
expressed his intention Of having the
tickets printed for himself. When the
candidates informed Mr.. Evans Of Mr..
Nichols intention. he (Mr. Evans) then
said: I'VE. al.o. will print tickets for our
selves" The tickets were printed and sent
out the next evening Wherein lies the
deceit? We will let the public answer.
This II the form Of the regular ticket:

PaWlet.

The venerable Hiel HOLSTER has an
article in the Granville, N. Y, Sentinel,
on ''Pawlet's Military History" that is
of interest. He says: Few people ar
aware of the fact that Pawlet was for
more than two score years the leading
town in the State in military concerns
This may have been due to the fact that
large part of its pioneer settlers came
direct from the battlefields of the revolu-
ton. We have the names of more than
eighty who came, age attained sixty who
remained, which averaged eighty-three
years, and we have no reason to doubt
but that they who removed attained
equal age. When Burgoyne came up the
lake in TIT, the settlers north of Pawlet
were frightened off, many returning to
their old homes south; Others made
stand here which had become fortier
post and a recruiting station for the war;
Here was organized the famous regiment
of rangers under Colonel Herrick, which
did noble service in the conflicts of Ben
nington and Saratoga. Here was force
of seven hundred men gathered under
Colonel Brown, who went down the lake
and re-captured Crown Point and other
fortresses which Burgoyne had captured
in his upward movement. The troops
sent from this post did valiant service
for the country, not SO much by always
meeting the enemy in direct conflict, but
by guerilla service, hanging as Burgoyne
described as "a gathering cloud on his
flank At this time the military spirit
of the people was thoroughly aroused
and local company of cavalry was or
ganized uuder Col. William Fitch, which
in due time was very handsomely equip
ped and uniformed, continuing its exist
ence sixty years. Its last captain was
Isaac Crosby. The equipments and uni.
form of each trooper cost not less than
ninety dollars not including the horse.
When in 1886 the court at Rutland was
suppressed by mob, this company was
the first to respond, though farthest
from Rutland to a requisitiOn on the
several towns in the county. In 1902, the
light artillery was formed under Capt.
John Sargent and was furnished with
field piece and thoroughly equipped and
uniformed; about the same time, light
infantry company, under Captain Elisha
Averill, which also had splendid uni.
forms and equipment. Its last captain
was Thomas j. Swallow. In 1906, the
Pawlet band was organized and furnish
ed with instruments and very choice uni

land, ILL.,, Ledger, a portrait OF whose
wife is giveu above, says in his own pa
per editorially:
"Our leading druggist, DIR. w. u:
GreUorv. informs us that his sales OF
Paine's celery compound have been Won
dertul. in fact. he states that he has IN
six months sold more celery compound
than all other medicines combined.
There has been a constant demand Tor III.
lone of the noticeable cures that TINS
medicine has made is the case OF Mr..
Phil Clinard, who last spring was Repuo-
lcan candi date for county treasurer, MI.
Clinard's nerves were all unStrung; ne
had no appetite and was all run down.
He commenced using Paine's celery
compound, and to-day there is not a
more well and vigorous citizen IN this
whole community than Mr.. Cllnard:
Another case that comes closer is thaC OF
the wife of the editor OF the Ledger.
Every one in Oakland knows thaC MRS.
Yeargin was confined to her bed Tor .
whole months with neuralgia. AT times
pains were awful, so much so that her
hands would clinch and it took the
united strength of two persons TO
straighten out her fingers. DR.. Carney,

viate the pains, not effecting cure.
Along last winter she commenced using
Paine's celery compound.
"She commenced to gain in flesh at
once. Her pain all went away; her vi
tality increased weekly, and to-day there
is not more healthy woman in town
than she. Her neighbors all marvel at
her complete recovery, and ask her the
cause, and she has no hesitancy in saying
that it is all due to Paine's celery com
pound. This is given voluntarily in the
hope that others afflicted may be protited
by using the great medicine, which to-
dav is without peer in the land"

forms, and by the terms of the charter,
were required to meet all the other com
panies On the first Tuesday in June of
each year for inspection and review.
During it's existence there were twenty
four members. Its captains were Mil
ton Brown and Asa S. Jones. Besides
these four independent companies, there
was the standing company of infantry
from which all the others were recruited
and had during its existence eighteen
captains, of whom John Stark was the
first and Joshua Hulett the last, now
the only survivor of all these siXty-two
captains is living to-day. What other
town in the State equalled this in mill
tary enterprise? These veterans of the
Revolution who originated this military
array, were of great moral and physical
stamina and seem to cast discredit on
the current idea that war demOralizes its
votaries. When the war of 1912 broke
out, this town furnished forty recruits,
who went to the front and the artillery
volunteered to go when called on. In the
Mexican war this town furnished but
two recruits, but its military spirit was
thoroughly aroused in 1861, and it fur
nished its full quota and seven more,
sending to the field on first and second
enlistments, one hundred and ninety
voluntary recruits. Twenty of these
were killed in battle or died of disease
during the four years war. 1t is needless
here to speak of the proves and achieve
ments of these soldiers, for many of
them are here to speak for themselves.
