Wouldn't it be well for our statesmen,
Il the next aession of the legislature, to
|bstain from monkeying with the pro-
|ibitOry law, the acts giving bounties
|or foxes and other noXious animals and
|undry laws that are in fair working
|hape, and devote sufficient attention to
|he devising of law for the suppress
ion of weeds? The number of these
PESTS is steadily increasing all over the
|tate. 1t costs the farmers thousands of
|Ollars year to destroy them. And
|he worst of it is that careless neigh
lors are able to nullify, and do
brgely nullify, the work of the men
Who try to get rid of the weeds. The
leeds of some weeds are furnished with
wings on which they fly long distances :;
Ithers break off their stems in winter and
kre blown over the snOw-covered fields.
pne poor farmer can keep a whole

There is law which obliges the rail-
loads to cut and destroy the weeds
|lOng their roads once a year, and that
+ all the anti-weed legislation upon the
'tatute book. There ought to be a law
farmers not only to cut down
! the proper time all weeds on their
farms and along the roadsides, but also

ASSIST NATURE A LITTLE.
Thus Avoid Disease.

STIMULATE TIE LIVER AND CURE CON-
STIPATION WITH DIR. HOWARD'S SPE-
CIFIC-ONE TINY PILL Is THE DOSE.
Nothing so surely leads to serious sick
ness as constipation. Does it not stand
to reason that if waste matter is confined
in the system it will poison the blood? Aid
nature to rid the bowels of this by using
DR.. Howard's specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia, and what a
feeling of health and vgor results.
This scientific specific of DR.. Howard's
is very popular in Middlebury and many
business men carry a vial of it in the vest
pocket, so as to have it handy after lunch
con or dinner. With the women it is Il
great favorite, having superseded in great
measure the mineral waters, laxative teas
and ordinary pills that were so largely
used before this specific was known.
For sick and bilious headache, dizzi-
ness, costiveness, sour stomach, coated
tongue, indigestion, heartburn, pain and
distress after eating. and similar trouble
caused by "a torpid liver, poor digestion
or constipation DR.. Howards specific is a
positive relief. One of the tiny pills ta-
ken after each meal and on retiring will
make the bowels regular and natural as
no other medicine can do.
Isaac Sterns has sold scores of pack
ages of DR.. Howard's specific in the last
few months, and the sale is rapidly in
creasing. The best known people in Mid
dlebury use and recommend it and say
they would not be without 1t. 1t is the
purest and most concentrated laxative
known, one tiny pill being dose.
Remember that there is no other medi-
cine that is like this specific of DR.. How
ards. Its formula is furnished to ply
siciaus and as a result they prescribe it
largely. Do not delay purchasing a
package. Begin using it today and you
will soon see that it is a truly remarka-
BILE discovery that is far ahead of the or
dinary remedies.

GorrsoHALrs MASTERPIECE.
How He Was inspired to Compose THE
Last Hope"


How He Was inspired TO Compose "The
Last Hope"
While visiting at the court of Spain, a
few years before his death, the great
composer Gottschalk, was noticed to
have a singular habit of Withdrawing
from the gay company of his friends at
"a certain hour each evening, and after
seating himself at the piano, in an OBJ
scure corner, in a sad and reverential
spirit, he would render with exquisite
pathos and delicacy his great MASTER
piece, known to ali musicians as The
Last Hope" An English lady, who had
lcng observed and wondered at the reg
uiarity of this habit, was constrained on
one occasion to ask him the reason for
it. 1T is because" he said, that is to
me my evening prayer" Seeing the look
Of eager interest and sympathy on the
fair face of his questioner, he then re-
lated the following history of this truly
sublime composition, which should be
known wherever it is played.
Some years before, while on concert
tour through the island of Cuba, the
composer became acquainted with an ell
derby lady of wealth and distinction,
who had lost her husband and only son
in battle. Being thus bereft of her loved
ones, and destitute Of home ties and af-
fection, there sprang up between Colts
chalk and this lady an attachment like
that of a mother and son, She was at
tracted to him by his manly courtesy and
life of loneliness and he to her because she
was a confirmed invalid and most ar
dent lover Of music. 1t soon became
Gottschalk's custom to play for her at
the vesper hour every evening, and she
often told him he was her best physician,
and that his music was her sole source of
comfort and relief. Upon one occasion
when suffering more intensely than usual,
she turned with an effort, and employ
ing one of those ravishing idioms so
common to the Spanish tongue, said,
''Play me one little melody-play me my
last hope" Gottschalk seated himself
at the piano, and, after a moments
meditation, improvised that chastc and
touching melody bearing the name of
her request.
AT an early hour the following morning
Gottschalk left for neighboring town,
where ne was under engagement to con-
duct n series of concerts. Returning
after an absence OF several days, as he
was mounting the hill to the village
where his friend resided ne heard the
vesper bells ringing in the distance. ana
then little later the deep toll of the
church bell sounding the knell Of de-
parted soul With n sudden and strange
Presentlment he urged his horse forward
and reached the church yard Just in
time to see the casket containing the
body of mis- friend lowered into the grave.
Thus II was. that during the remainder
OF his life, the composer made 1t a GUS
tom to retire at the vesper hour to his
piano, and offer up. with deep and re-
ligious devotion. this exquisite compost
tion. made sad and sacred by the men,
cry OF his lost friend.
BY special request of a number who
have heard this beautiful piece Of music.
Mr.. T. NJ. Lighter has promised to rem
der 1t at the Congregational church con-
cert tonight.

1t back in charge. He was good Gus

Louis Denny Bound over to Await the
Action of the Grand Jury.
Louis Denny was tried in the justice
court yesterday on charge of stealing
a silver watch and chain from the person
of Carl Carlson. Both men had been
running around town the night before
and Carlson became drunk, went into
the back room of the Mug saloon, on
9th street, fell asleep upon the floor, and
while in that condition it is alleged that
Denny went through him, relieving him
of his watch and chain
The man to whom Denny sod the
watch testified to the defendant having
asked them during the afternoon to buy
the stolen article. Judge Abercromble
bound Denny over to await the action Of
the grand jury under bonds of $500, which
he could not obtain. The arrest was
made by officer Oberg.
