A reporter Of the Tribune met A. w.
Doland, manager of the Spokane Drug
company and member OF the Taxpayers
league this morning, and had little In
teryiew with him
Mr.. Doiand said that the Tribune peo-
pie we're evidently mistaken. in regard to
the affairs OF that body IN their investi-
are working said he. ito gain what In
formation we can In regard to the al
legged crookedness Of the courthouse con-
tractors, but We have made no assertions
OF fraud on the part OK anybody. and
all we ask Is fair play. We do not want
to give anything to the public until the
proper time comes. and IL we find every
thing is all right we viii make no report
whatever except to exoneraIe the parties
concerned.
I'VE have found out" he continued. '.how
Architect Richie obtained possession
OF the report. which has not been out OF
my possession at any time. He. or some
one else had a stenographer In the room
over ths commissioners room where We
held the meeting Monday night. 1t has
been the intention 10 keep everything
from the public" said Mr. Doiand, "and
even Mr.. Cowles OF the Review. who is
on the committee. has never seen the re-
port. You can rest assured that nothing
viii be given out unta everything Is conn
pieted. and then we Will give 1t all out
at. once. The committee Is made up OF
heavy taxpayers. mostly. but anyone who
Is a taxpayer AMI Is not an office-hoider
or an offlce-seeker can join the Taxpayers
ieague.'
Mr.. Doland said that the league intend
ed to sift the whole matter 10 the bottom
ard if any crooked work had been done
the person or persons guilty OF such an
act would be prosecuted to the fun ex-
tent OF the law. He seems to think THAI
1t was entirely unnecessary to have such

Cripple Creek, COL, will soon hold a
carnival of sports, at which the principal
feature is to be genuine bull fight, after
the Spanish fashion, with all the fiXings
and trimmings. A pen 40 feet in diam
eter has been constructed, and seats to ac-
commodate 10000 persons are to be built
around it. Two toreadors from Mexico
city have been engaged to conduct the fight.
This, it is claimed, will be the first real
bull fight ever given in the United States.
The present year is record-breaker so
far as great disasters on the ocean are con-
cerned. On January 80 the North German
Lloyd steamer Elbe was sunk in the North
sea and 37S persons persisted. In March
the Spanish warship Reina Regente was
lost in the Mediterranean with all on board,
about 420. On May p the Pacific mail
steamer, Colima, running between San
Francisco and Panama, was wrecked off
the Mexican coast, and of the nearly 200
souls aboard but 26 reached the shore. On
the day following the sinking of the Col
ina the French steamer Dom Pedro, with
emigrants going to Brazil, struck rock
off the Spanish coast, burst her boilers and
sank, with loss of los lives. The latest
disaster is the loss of the Italian steamer,
Maria p, which collided with the Ortigia
in the Gulf of Genoa and sunk with las
souls.

Pomona Grange Meets with Protective
Grange.
Windham county Pomona grange met
with Protective grange last Wednesday
and enjoyed the benefits to be derived from
having plenty of room. The attendance
was small, but reports from other oranges
were very encouraging. Two oranges in
their reports showed that they needed new
halls to accommodate their Increased mem
bership. The new banquet hall proved
very pleasant place to eat grange dinner.
The afternoon exercises were open to the
public. The welcome was by Geo. M.
Pierce, the master, who referred with pride
to the commodious rooms well adapted TO
our use. The response was by Mrs. Julia
Newton of Vernon, who spoke of the pro-
gresslveness of the grange here and else
where. She was glad that the time had
come when the farmer and his wife
and family could 60 to the same
place and enjoy the same pleasures and Ia
bors. One said that the mothers should
bebetter educated that they might be the
companions Of their children. Mrs. New
ton thought the fathers ought to become
better educated also; that they ought to
pause from their labors and become &C

ct by Misses Carrie and Lila Clark was
rendered, which gave much pleasure. This
was followed by a recitation well rendered
by Miss louisa Williams, who showed
special talent in that line. Then little
Miss Clara Eames delighted the audience
with a song. G. d. Whitman opened the
question for the day, which was "What oc-
cupation affords the best opportunities for
the enjoyments of life" aud said that all
could not enjoy the same things,as we were
differently constituted and educated. In
speaking about the opportunities the farm
offered for happiness he asked, were the
farmers happier than those in other kinds
of business. Let every one answer for
himself. K. o. Lee of Vernon thought he
needed the advantages that the youths Of
our day are having in order to discuss this
question Or any other. He thought there
was difference in the kinds of enjoy
ment. One likes day entirely alone with
his dog and gun, while another enjoys a
crowd Others like society and others
the family. The farmer has every thing
at hand for enjoyment If he so chooses.
Mrs. Newton and Mrs. NJ. l. Reed of Yer
non made remarks upon this subject, fol-
lowed by DR.. Garrison, who said he enjoy
ed his profession more than he could any
other. Mrs. Ella Eames, Mrs. May Ed
wards, and Mrs. Mary Currier followed in
this discussion.

Col. Il. Il. SIbIey.

Col. E. X. Sibley, prominent in New
York city as banker and railroad man,
has just died in Victoria, B. C. Mr.. Sib-
ley was born in Westford in 1912. He en-
listed in the First Vermont Cavalry, serv-
ing throughout the war, rising to the rank
of captain and being made major for gal
liant and meritorous services. He served
with distinction under Sheridan in the
Shenandoah campaign. He was taken
prisoner in July, 1868, and sent to Libby
prison, from which he was paroled in No
vember of that year. He served after the
war on the staff of the governor of Yer
mont as aide-de-camp, with the rank of
colonel.
Soon after the war he went West and en-
gagged in railroading. He was general
manager and receiver of the Memphis d
Little Rock railroad and superintendent of
the Missouri Pacific and branches. Later
he was member of the board of arbitra-
ton of the Southern Railway IL Steamship
association, and also of the Southern Pas
senger association. He then came East
and during several years was a member of
the firm of Marquant 81 Parmly in New
York city, retiring from it last spring.

watched him. Now, said they, he will
burst on the world like meteor He will
flash across the intellectual heavens in
shower of light and dazzle the nations.
But Seth didn't flash to any appreciable
extent Just then. He looked as If he was
going to flash and might flash at any min
ute; but he didn't flash.
After he had lived at home five years
his parents said that his excessive studies
in college had worn him down and that he
needed few years more in which to re-
cuperate. After he had overed from
the fatigue of college he would be ready to
commence his career.
Finally, when he was Al, he commenced
his career. The century plant burst into
full blossom; the millennial aloe raised a
flower on its topmost stem. Seth went
into the hen business.
He borrowed the money of his father
and bought five hens. He felt the awful
weight of responsibility that rested upon
his shoulders, and he took far more pains
in selecting his five hens than Grover Cleve-
land took in selecting his cabinet. He felt
how fatal would be a misstep in this ep-
ochal, eliminating act of his career. But
he felt that he had come to his rubicon.
the drought of the hot season to dry up the
river? Not he! He plunged in, and in
less than two years, unaided and alone, he
had selected his five hens, and gone home
to recuperate.
But they were fine hens. They were
portly, stately, dignfied, imposing and i'm
pressive hens. Each individual hen looked
as wiseas Seth looked himself.
Now, said his fellow townsmen, Seth will
make his splurge. The ocean of his in
tellect has been stirred to its depths, and
now watch for the bursting of the water
spout. So they watched him with greater
eagerness than ever. And truly it looked
for time as if he would make a splurge.
His features took on a new profundity of
wisdom, and his five hens grew more stately,
more dignified, more courtly, imposing and
impressive. But as truthful historian |
must record the fact that they didn't lay.
But, then, who could ask them to-as If
they were plain, domestic, everyday fowls.
But the neighbors, who were plain and
domestic people, watched Seth, and they
watched his hens. A serene and beautiful
hope animated their minds. ''Some time,
perhaps today" said they, "who knows
perhaps this very hour Seth's hens will be-
gin to lay, and Seth will begin his career
SO they watched with ever-increasing
interest, year after year, until one by one
the hens died and went to their well-earnet
rest-and finally Seth died himself, ant
these were his last words:

GEORGE M. COLT.

George NJ. Colt,an old Union veteran died
at his home in West Dummerston Sunday,
July IS. Mr.. Colt has been seriously i'll
since the first of February, 1894, with little
hope of permanent recovery. During his
entire sickness he has suffered intensely,
but through all has borne up under it with
a remarkable endurance. Death fairly stood
over him for many weeks. No one who
knew him but feels that he greatly pro-
longed his stay in the flesh by force of will.
He would not succumb. lie fought the
great battle of life inch by inch, and yet he
was always cheerful
Mr.. Colt was born in Smyrna, n. Y,
November l, lS2S where he lived during his
boyhood, moving to Stockton, ILL.,, in 1853.
While there in 1855 he Joined the Odd Fell
lows. He married Miss Mary NJ. Ladd of
Brattleboro April %, 1858. In the fall of
1859 they moved 10 Brattleboro where they
lived, with the exception of the year 1868,
when they returned to Stockton, ILL.,, I'M
til 1886, when they moved TO West Dunn
merston. They have had five children.
His wife and two sons survive him, Charles
III. of Brattleboro and William NJ. of Keene,
n. IL. Mr.. Colt was employed by E. Cros-
by d Co. number of years. He was po-
lice and night Waterman in this village for
four years and was employed much of his
time as nurse caring for the sick.
When the war broke out he was among
the early ones TO enlist, May l, 1861, in
Company G, Second Regiment Vermont
Volunteers, with whom he served till June
20, 1864, when he was mustered out. His
ardor and ambition to be in the front won
for him much praise as well as exposed
him to great danger. He was wounded at
Salem Heights, Va, May 1868; Funks-
town, Nd, July 10, 1868; severely wounded
in the Wilderness, Va, May 3, 1864, in the
right arm, which always caused him much
pain and trouble. He bore all of his afilic-
tions with cheertulness and courage.
He will be remembered by his comrades
in the old Second Vermont as the maker
of the fiddle in camp at Brandy Station,
Va, during the winter of 1868 and 1864,
a relic of those days of camp life which he
has always kept with a pride so Justly
earned by his indomitable perseverance.
He never tired of conversing about the war,
and during his last sickness he enjoyed
the company of his old comrades. He was
an ardent Grand Army man, being a char
ter member of Sedgwick post, No. s. He
was a member of Wantastiquet lodge,I. O..
o. F., and Palestine encampment. Truly

try and comrades. He loved the flag for
which he fought. He was sympathetic,
devoted in friendship, generous to a fault,
charitable TO those in sickness and trouble.
He formed his own opinion of right and
wrong. He was honest in all his dealings.
He hated false pride and scorned the idea
of surrendering his manhood TO please any
one. After his mind was once formed and
his purposes matured he carried them
through triumphantly in the face of the
most formidable opposition. He was orig
inal from first to last, therefore he never
received the honor so justly his due.

When Lydia e. Pinkham first sent out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance.
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia II. Pink
HAMS Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
1t robs them of the buoyancy of youth.
1t makes all effort distasteful.
1t causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought TO begin treatment at once.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the surest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. II
will accomplish its work with certainty.
