There was Il hearing Monday be
fore Col. *. IIaskinc, commissioner,
in the case OF o. II. Garfield, admins
traitor, and Marion Kelley V. Rutland
Insurance Co., and Sherman Il Jenne,
trustees, case to collect an insurance
loss of some 5000 at the time of tho
Townshend fire from the since collapsed
Rutland company. The policy was
written by Walker of Bellows Falls,
and after vain effort to collect from
the company, this action was brought
to hold whatever Sherman 4 Jcnne as
agents of the company had in their
hands. The hearing was to deter
mine what this amount was. Sherman
a. Jenne disclosed it to be sll2.41, and
plaintiffs claim it should be some
s5l5. Tho difference in large part is
accounted for by the fact that after
the service of the trustee number of
policies, some %, we're cancelled and
Sherman a JENNIE personally refunded
had guaranteed the policies to patrons
who had somewhat questioned the
company. They did not clam that
they had any contract with the com
pany, which, however, did allow the
uldu SAlTd COHltulsSlUu Vi ~ peT CeHt.
in consideration of their personal guar
antec. No question is made by the
plaintiffs that they paid back this
money to policy holders, but il is de-
MED that they had a right TO do so
claiming that after the money came in
to their hands regardless of the fac
that 1t was partly collection in ad
vance for unearncd insurance, it was
money belonging to the company to the |
extent that it was trustecablc for its |
debts The report will raise some
other interesting questions, as for in
stance, whether in such case as this
the agent can charge commission on
the entire premium on only earned
premium. Waterman, Martin Il Hit |

There is just now no lack Of news
from the Western states.
Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa
is as promptly and accurately heard
Of as from any New England state.
From all over the West come reports
that Paine's celery compound occupies
practically a clear field in the cure Of
diseases arising from a tired or other
wise impaired system.
No other remedy was ~ used by
so many men Of sound and reliable
Judgment. No remedy but Paine's cell
cry compound has ever been recon-
mended by 70 conspicuously fair
minded a body Of men and women.
The half-hearted experimental efforts
OF scores and scores Of s~arsaparillas,
tonics, and so-called ~nervines. with
which the market is constantly recruit
ed, are in startling consrast with the
confident. because thoroughly scientific.
way in which Paine's celery compound
sets about restoring health and vigor
to the worn out body.
Why will people be silly enough 20
jeopardize their lives and lessen their
chances Of getting well by taking any
thing else?
There is no help so u and so i'm
mediate as one gets from the use Of
Paines' celery compound. Detailed in
formation OF ~innumerable cases Of
rheumatism, neuralgia and dyspepsia
completely cured. has established this
great invigorator as the most valuable
