In his annual report to General Estey,
Charles E. Nelson, inspector of rifle prac
tice in the Vermont National Guard, makes
the following suggestions that will be OF in.
terest to members OF the militia: "In view
of the probability OF a permanent camp
ground at or near Fort Ethan Allen, made
possible by the passage of an act by the leg
stature of 1894, appropriating 1900 for that
purpose, the probable result of which will
be that the national guard will be able to
make an arrangement for the use Of the
ranges at the post at the next annual en-
campment. In view of this, / recommend
that in the future the contests for the Wash.
ington centennial trophy be competed for
by the several full companies of the regi.
ment and the light battery, instead of Ave
men from each organization, as has been
the practice for the past five years. Such
an arrangement would give all the men an
opportunity to fire at II asst five sho at the
2OO-yard range during the encampment."

1t will doubtless be of painful interest to
our citizens to know that one Of our leading
town officials thinks the grinding burden OF
taxation will be but lit Q, II any, lighter
the coming year than ,st. He believes
that not less than 225 cents on the dollar
will have to be raised, and it will be two
years yet before anything Is raised to pay
off our railroad bonds to the amount of
$30,0N. Now one OF two things seems sure

and the weary looks Of despair
Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait is
given above, writing from her home in
Sebewa, Mich, says:
my husband has had stomach trouble
for over year, from which he suffered the
tortures of daily death. He could eat
scarcely anything, and what he did eat
sUured on his stomach and caused him to
bloat so terribly that life was only burden.
He tried physicians to no avail, and as 1 was
aking Paine's celery compound, he thought
he would try it. In short time he was sur
prised to find that he could eat anything
with no bad effects; the bloating is all gone,
and his stomach is in good condition.
Il had suffered for years with periodical
spells of sick headache; pen cannot describe
what suffered at such times. For the last
two years l noticed that my nervous sys-
to a was getting all out of order; had no
appetite and was getting to be mere
shadow of my former self. 1 was nervous,
weak, could not rest nights, and felt gloo ny
