Oldest Man in Vermont.

Moses Pierce of Derby Line, til,
Oldest of II children, was born at Cor
inth, May 20, 1898, and is probably
the oldest person living in Vermont.
His parents were Pierce and Mary
Sargent, the former being so years
old when he died and the latter "a
His grandfather, Sargent, lived to be
nearly 100.
OF the II children, four sisters are
now living, the oldest 81 and the
youngest so years old, also one broth
er aged 81 years. One sister was 80
when she died and another 81. Mr..
Pierce remembers the death of Wash
ington and the profound sensation it
caused throughout the country at the
time.
He lost his eyesight about seven
years ago, but his hearing is still good,
and some one reads the papers to him,
and in this way he keeps posted on
current events.
He is stanch supporter of the Mon
roe doctrine. He supported Pres.
Monroe during the era OF good feel
ing, but was afterward Wing and
later a Republican in politics.
Mr.. Pierce has always been temper
ate in his habits, and to this he as
cribes his longevity. At the age of SO
he voted not to repeal the Scott act Ia
measure) of Canada.
He lies in bed all the time and his
liet consists principally of milk,
,craped beef and raw eggs.

forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts

the knowledge that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need Of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

has informed me that he will this

of that magnificent leader whose plume
has been seen In the front Of the line

cause has inspired millions of his fell
low citizens to strain every effort
within the lines of legitimate contro-
versy TO secure n victory which would
relieve them from the merciless exac-
tions OF a continuing contracting cur

RAILROAD SENSATION.
The santa Fe Placed I'm the Hands Of n
Receiver.

Topeka, Nov. 5.-Western railroad
circles have a sensation In a second re-
celvershlp for the Santa Fe. The road
and equipment In Kansas was this
afternoon placed In the control OF
State Senator Charles Il. johnson OF
oskaloosa. Kan. Judge Louis III. My
ers Of the First district this afternoon
at Oskaloosa made the appointment
and ordered him to take charge OF the
property Of the Santa Fe Railroad
company in Kansas. The property
consists Of nearly 800 miles OF rail-
road, together with depots. office build
ings. real estate and other property.
The action which resulted In the re-
celvershlp Is brought under the Kan
sas law OF 1891. which provides that no
corporation more than 20 percentum OF
whose capital stock Is owned by aliens
shall acquire real estate In the state OF
Kansas. and that II any real estate
shall be acquired in violation of this
statute II shall be forfeited TO tho
state.
The statute authorizes any county
attorney to bring an action in the
name of the state for such forfeiture
and authorizes and directs the court
To appoint a receiver upon presenta-
tion by the county attorney OF a veri-
fed petition The statute provides
that such real estate shall be forfeited
TO the state. The appointment OF n
receiver has been brought about. Il Is
believed, by the men who opposed the
recent reorganization plan OF the
Santa Fc This action has created a
great sensation here.

Chicago, Nov 5.-Cbairman Jones
issued the following statement to-
night: THE result of the presidential
election Is apparently no longer In
doubt. 1t has been one Of the closest
contests that the people have been
called on to determine in recent years.
We have claimed the election on our
advices from states that were admit
tedly in doubt, in which we knew
there had been many frauds, and from
which there were evidences Of tam
pering with the returns. II seems now
TO be apparent that Mr.. Bryan. after
making the most brilliant campaign in
the history Of our country and having
carried most OF the states claimed to
be doubtful, has not carried enough to
assure his success In the electoral col
lege. Bryan electors have been chosen
from all of the states south of the Po,
tomac and Ohio except West Virginia
and all west OF the Missouri except
California and Oregon. He has 100
-"toral votes. and this number may
De increased by final returns from the
states yet In question. He has not OBJ
tanned enough votes to carry the elec-
toral college. Thus this remarkable
campaign closes with the election Of
William Mckinley. The result was
brought about by every kind of coer-
cion- and intimidation on the part OF
the money power. including threats Of
lockouts and dismissals and impend-
ing starvation; by the employment Of
by far the largest campaign fund ever
used In this country and by the SUBJ
ordination Of a large portion OF the
American press.
'The president-elect and his party
are under a pledge to the American
people to continue the gold standard
and. by its operation, to restore pros
perity to this country. AS chief execu-
tive, Mr. Mckinley will have the cor.
dial support Of the millions of patrl-
otic Americans who have cast their
votes for William Jennings Bryan.
They bow to the majesty OF the office
and abide by the result with none of
the mutterlngs that would have come
from the moneyed power, had II been
unsuccessful. They are confident the
gold standard cannot give the PROM
ised prosperity, but will gladly well
come II IL 1t comes. They will con-
tinue the great struggle for the uplift-
ing Of humanity. and the maintenance
OF the dignity of our country In the
establishment Of the American none
tary system. And the democratic
party. aided by Its present allies, win
still uplift the bimetalllc standard and
bear 1t on to victory.

He Receives the News of His Defeat Like

Lincoln. Neb, Nov 5.-"The fight has

J. Bryan tonight when asked IL he
considered the result of the election
had been a serious blow TO the cause
of bimetalllsm. He had Just sent a
message to Major Mckinley conceding
his election and rendering his congrat-
ulations.
Mr.. Bryan surrendered at $50 O'Clock.
He had just received the signal and
responded within the next ten min
utes with a telegram to his successful
rival. This signal was n brief message
from Senator Jones, chairman OF the
democratic committee. informing him
that he did not consider it wise to
longer withhold the concession Of Nc
Kinley's election. This message was
received by Mr.. Bryan a few minutes
after he had returned with his wife
from an evening stroll. and in the
presence Of a dozen callers. gathered
