A BIG REFUSAL


4 Case In Which q Good bargain Might
Have Been u burden.
James Clark, Of Old Town, Wash,
the sinking Of the steamship Pacific
in the Straits Of Juan de Fuca. In 1875,
OF which the only survivor was Nell
Henley. now Of Tacoma. Mr.. Henley
foated around for hours on a raft after
the Pacific was struck by the bark Or
pheus. With him on the raft was a
man named william Sampson. who be-
came exhausted and sank. Mr.. Clark
says. with between $4,000 and $12,-
900 In a belt around his body. The
fact that Sampson had the gold on his
person was known to Mr.. Clark and a
Few others only, and 1t has never been
published. Clark and Sampson were
miners together on the Yukon river, In
Alaska. The mining claim was a rich
one. and was known In the Yukon dis
trict as the "Three-to-One." 1t was SO
called because the party that mined
n owned It. was composed OF three
white men and a Chinese. They re-
turned to Victoria to spend the nrst
winter. after taking out about $1,000
apiece In gold. and the next spring
when they went to back to open up the
mine again. they found that the Hoods
had swept away all their machinery
and they would have to spend a con-
siderable part Of the season In maktng
and putting In new machinery to ham
die the placer deposits. Sampson be-
came discouraged and he sold his share
In the diggings to his partners Tor
about $4,000 and returned to Victoria.
The "Three-to-One" made money that
season the same as the season before.
Shortly after Sampson returned to VIC
toria he shipped on the steamer Pa
cifc, Intending to 90 to San Francisco.
He put the gold in a belt around his
body, as was the custom In those days.
The raft on which he and Henley
fioated was in reality a chicken coop.
Sampson felt he could not last much
longer In the heavy sea. which rolled
the coop fearfully. and he begged Hen
ley to take the gold. The latter. feeling
that he would never set foot on shore
again, refused to take the belt. and 1t
went down with poor Sampson to the
bottom OF the sea. Henley was soon
picked up. The next day. though. he
regretted the loss Of his companion on
the chicken coop. he also deplored that
he had no taken the proffered belt
with Its burden of gold.

IT'S A MARVEL OF ECONOMY.
DR.. H0zOatN's Sbecifc.

ONE TINY GRANULE is A Dose AND
ANY ONE CAN BUY SIXTY DOSES FOR
FIFTY CENTs.-FIGUREs THAT Con-
VINCE.
Naturally in these hard times one
wants to get as much for his money as
possible. And in placing on the market
his cure for constipation and dyspepsia,
DIR. Edward Il. Howard had this very
fact in mind.
His discovery of a concentrated form
of medicine for these troubles, vastly
superior to the remedies heretofore
known, enabled him to prepare his Spe-
cihc so that it is marvel of economy.
One tiny granule is dose. and as there
are sixty granules in each fifty-cent bot
tie, half dollar buys months treat
ment for the ordinary case.
Nne-tenths of the people suffer more
or less with constipation, causing whole
train of evils to result. After the food
has passed through the stomach it be-
comes foul and poisonous, and if retained
in the system produces sour stomach,
bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
dizziness, headache. eruption of the skin,
dyspepsia, and serious liver complaint.
II is the cause of halt the sudden deaths.
Cure the cOnstipated habit with DR..
lloward's Specific and the blood will be-
come rich and pure, appetite good, skin
clear, and the whole system filled with
health and vigOr.
Isaac Sterns secured the agency of DR..
Howard's Specific for the cure Of cOnsti-
patton and dyspepsia short time ago and
has already sold many bottles. His
customers, who have used 1t, say that
they have never taken any laxative med
icine or stomach regulator that anywhere
near equals it. Coming in the form of
tiny granUles, there is perfect freedom
from the nasty taste of most liquid med
icines. Unlike the ordinary pills, but
one is a dose and this never has to be in
creased. 1t is the most reliable and eco
nomical medicine known, and should be
in every home.
Kidney disease is the direct result of
constipation. BY neglecting to use DR..
Howard's Specific the digestive organs
become sluggish and the burden of
cleansing the system is thrown "n the
Overworked kidneys. Prevent this dan
gcrous trouble by using the Specific. 1t
is absolutely harmless and invariably ef-
fective in curing constipation and dys-
pepsia and preventing the often faial dis
ease that they cause when neglected.

NOT A VERMONT HILL.

From the Great Darlington, Mass, Gazette.I
a year or two ago the governor of Yer
mont remarked at a banquet held in Bos-
ton by Vermont veterans that "we have
good many hills IN Vermont, but not
David b."
Ever since then Mr.. David b. Hill of
New York, who is Il relic of Tammany
and acting in the place of a senator in
congress, has been watching for an op-
pOrtunity to get even with the truth tel
ler from the Green Mountain State and at
last his time has come. In letter up
holding lawlessness in New York city,
and sneering at the founders of the re-
public, this saloon defender makes CON
temptuous reference to Governor Morton
as a puritan born in Vermont and ap-
parently inheriting the ill-liberal ten
denotes and prejudices on the excise ques-
ton which characterize the rabid Repub-
licans of that State"
We do not know where Hill was born,
and if we did we should hesitate to put
the place Of his nativity to shame by re-
cording the fact: but wherever he was
born it is evident that he needs to be
born again and a good many changes
made in his composition in order to make
him valuable American citizen, or even
decent one. This slur upon Vermont
and Levi p. Morton will only dig the hole
of oblivion deeper into which the Tam
many saloon defender is to be consigned
when justice gets around to attend to his
case.
The State of Vermont is out of the
reach of this lone star, who loves to flock
all by himself about the region where
fOrgetfulness hOvers and bats alone stir
the air. The State which enables Dave
Hill to sit under the shadows of such
men as Morrill, and Proctor has no occa-
SION to be troubled at any attempts which
Tammany's chief makes to smirch her
record, and Governor Morton may we'll
he thankful that in the record of his il
lustrious career there appears no indorse-
ment of this bloodless champion of de-
pravity and corruption.
Meanwhile the open saloon must go,
and it is hastened in its going by the eff
forts to save it of such men as David B.
Hill.

posi- oEEIos ROBBERS SENTENCED.

William Driscoll, alias "Ottawa Irish, :"
and William Eldredge, alias "BroHklyn
Slim" were convicted in the United
States court at Montpelier, Tuesday, on
the charge of robbing the postoflices in
Windsor, Glover and Morrisville. 1t was
shown by the government that the re-
spondents belonged to gang of thieves
who perpetrated series of burglaries all
over Vermont in 1894. The principal
witness for the government was John
RYAN, alias the Badger Kid, who connects
respondents with the burglaries charged
by the government by confessions made
in his hearing while he was mem
Der of the gang. The memory of the
witness was remarkable and he made full
disclosure. He is now serving out a
sentence for burglary in Waterbury at
the house Of correction at Rutland. The
respondents with two others were ar
rested at Nergennes in November, 1894,
ana a set of burglars tool taken from
them. They were sentenced to II years
each in State prison and to pay $500 fine.

Low WATER IN VERMONT STREAMS.

Much inconvenience and loss have re-
suited throughout Vermont the past two
weeks owing to the extremely low water
in streams, says a Bellows Falls dis
patch. Manufacturing at many points
has been entirely suspended and only
about half the pulp and paper mills here
are running, some by steam. Two large
drives of logs in the Connecticut are en-
tirely tied up, one at White River juno

A drive which passed here two days
ago has only reached South Vernon.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Lincolns Gettysburg speech has been
cast in bronze. Its delivery occupied
only two or three minutes, and yet if
Lincoln had made no other speech that
one would have placed him at the head
of the orators of his time. As the voice
of Moses to the Jews, that brief address
will stand as a lesson and inspiration to
American citizens. Its briefness, too,
ought to furnish hint to aspiring Yer
mont statesmen. There is nothing like
being brief briefly Mortified News.
