A HOME REMEDY
For the Cure of Colds and
La Grippe.

La grippe and influenza, cold in the head or on
the lungs are not only distressing maladies.
but are very dangerous as well. Cold ON the
chest is an inflammation affecting the air pas
sages and vessels leading into and through ev-
cry portion of the lungs. The inflammation
may be so violent as to cause death in a short
time if not quickly reduced, or it may hnger
and drag as a bad cold of more or less severity.
What is true Of a cold is equally true of la
grippe Even a mild condition is liable to turn
quickly into acute pneumonia, or what is
worse, galloping consumption. The breath
ing tubes become sensitive that the least
exposure, the slightest draught, change of
clothing, or of the weather. is sufficient to
cause fresh cold, terrible cough, pain and
fever. Cough is the foremost symptom. and it

Moses Ella Cheney, whose death at
Troy, S. D., May A, is announced,
was born at Sanbornton, N. H., Dec.
IL, 1872. He was the son of Elder
Moses Cheney, prominent Free
Will Baptist clergyman of that
period, whose ministrations extended
over Vermont, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,. He came to Vermont
about 1889 and organized the first
singing convention ever held in this
country, which occurred at Mont
pelier in May, 1889. Others were
held at Newbury in 1910, at Windsor
in lS41, at Woodstock in 1872 and
the last for several years at Middle
bury in ls43. Mr.. Cheney taught
singing schools in various towns. AT
Barnard he became acquainted with
Miss Mary Chamberlin, sister of Con-
ductor Henry Chamberlin Of this city,
whom he married about ls46 and
went to reside in Western New York.
lie returned to Vermont in 1880 and
bought farm in Barnard, where he
made his home, holding conventions
and teaching singing schools for many
years. His family consisted of Henry
c. Cheney, now of Rutland and a
conductor on the Rutland railroad;
John 5. and Moses +. Of Troy, ;. d.;
William j. and Kate of Ell Paso, and
Mary A. of WATERFOWL, 5. d., who
with his wife all survive bin.
During the seven years he was out
OF the state from l843 to 1850, musi-
cal conventions were held by Boston
parties, Mason, Baker, Woodbury.,
Root and others.
He represented Barnard in the
legislature in 81, the year following the
destruction of the statehouse by fire,
and to his witty speech in favor of
locating the new statehouse at Barn
ard on account of the marvellous
healthfulness of the town-''the old

sionally man moves in and dies be-
fore he is acclimated"-is due the
fact that Burlington was defeated in
the struggle and the Capitol remained

Them Now Alleges Fraud.
The New York World last week
published the following: Augustus
Zabriskie. one of the brightest men ON
Wall street, has brought an action Tor
fraud in the supreme court agall ST
Herbert w. Martin of Brattleboro, Vt.
The supreme court will be asked
within few days to appoint a COM
mission to go to Vermont and take
testimony as to the value OF the prop
erty and the disposition made of 1t.
According to Mr.. Zabriskie's sworn
complaint in the action for fraud,
Martin said that he had park OF 900
acres in the heart of the Green Noun
tains, that motel and cottages were
ON it, worth in all, $4,000. lie was
anxious to form a stock company to
take control of the property.
With the money raised by selling
stock and bonds he would buy 1900
acres more and thus establish a SPLEEN
did property, which could be so inn
proved and managed as to yield fine
income.
Mr.. Zabriskie thought the ingenious
Vermonters scheme so fine that he
promptly invested -, 900 in it, receiv-
ing for his money sundry plainly en-
graved shares of stock. Other Wall
Street men invested in the scheme.
Mr.. Zabriskie later went to Vermont
to investigate. He declares in his
sworn complaint that he found only
! los acres of land in the Martin prop
erty and that instead of fine hotel
and ten cottages, there was only one
small club house. lie made haste to
begin legal action TO save his money,
but before he could do anything the
entire property was sold and he was
unable to touch any of the proceeds

Building OF the Mt. Mansfield Electric
Railway Commenced.

Work was begun last week Mon
day morning on the Mount Mans
field Electric railroad. A magnifi-
cent parade marked the first work of
construction. The Stowe band was
drawn in an eight-horse coach from
the town of Stowe and behind them
rode 200 men in teams. Then came
the pick brigade of $50 Italians. The
procession was nearly a mile long.
Arriving at Waterbury there was a
great demonstration. Speechmak-
ing was INDUCED in by the road
officials and the first shovelful of
earth, which was taken up by Vice
Pres. c. L. Mcmahon of Stowe, was
done up in paper for future genera
tons to gaze at.
1t has taken 40 years to secure this
road and the people are conscious of
a great improvement. 1t means that
lumber, manufactures, farm produce
and the like will not have to be hauled
over country roads for ten miles.

LAWYER Jones Found Guilty.

The commission composed of eX-
Lieut.-Gov. George n. Dale OF Island
Pond, John II. Watson of Bradford
and John Young of Newport last
Thursday filed with the clerk of the
supreme court their report in the case
of Joseph &. Jones OF Rutland, eX-
states attorney for Rutland county,
against whom disbarment proceedings
were brought by Judge Rowell of the
supreme court in regard to liquor
proceedings in Rutland county in the
fall OF 1896, when Jones was states
attorney.
The committee finds Jones guilty
of the charges made; that in the letter
he wrote to Judge Rowell asking for
certificate on which TO collect his
salary, he gave him a false report in
regard to proceedings in the prosecu-
tions named, claiming that he had
carried out the instructions Of Judge
Rowell. when in fact, he had not.
The proceedings referred to were
suits to collect forfeited bail in liquor
cases.
The case has aroused more atten-
ton i'm this state than anything of
similar nature for many years, and
has been fought out by the best coun-
sci obtainable. The result will be to
make the enforcement of the Vermont
prohibition laws more rigid.

Work of a Firebug,

probably three incendiary fires within

who set those last fall and attempted

children slept in the room above and
were awakened by the smoke. One

of all four. Prompt WORK by the fire.
men saved the greater portion OF the
building. Loss about $500.
Monday night following at about
the same hour, fire was discovered by
the men al work in the Sunset Paper
mill issuing from the second floor of
Holden Il Martins building at the
corner of Elm and Flat streets, of
which one corner had been fitted up
as stable with hay loft above, and
the shed part was used for the storage
of lumber. The fire was set in the
hay loft. A horse which was in the
stable was saved. The iiremen also
saved these buildings with loss of
$500.
Again last Thursday night fire was
discovered in shayings in the barn of
Geo. III. Ryder at about Il o'clock, in
which three horses were kept, but this
was also promptly extinguished with
only few dollars loss.

A SCHEME THAT DIDN'T WORK

CHANGING over the files of the INDI-
GATOR the other day we discovered an
item relating to Jack Martins parade
and excursion to Florence. 1t will be
two years the llth. inst since Jacks big
day in Pueblo.
At the head of what was called the
Cow Boy band, the active real estate
agent, now resident of Florence, parad-
ed the streets of Pueblo and endeavored
to stampede lot of our citizens to the
little Oil City TO buy real estate Re-
duced railroad rates and free dinner OF
roast OK were the inducements held
band. Jacks idea was to have big
sale OF town lots after the feast, and, of
course, those who partook OF his hos
pitality were expected to be ready
purchasers.
The program went along smoothly
enough until the sale begun and then
things tlattened out. Those who went
up from this town were all busted and
couldn't pay for the roast OK they had
eaten il called upon to do so, and so
another brilliant scheme by the versatile
Jack exploded. The whole trouble was
that he was attempting to reverse the
natural order OF things, and SO besides
aifordlng our citizens considerable
amount of amusement and learning IA
valuable lesson by experience, nothing
was gained to the real estate king.

THE FIRST STEP TAKEN.

The fact that new and extensive i'm
works right away is a good thing in it
self, because it will furnish considerable
employment to men now partly or
wholly IDLE, and thus put money into
Importance is the fact that it will be a

brighter future, local capital will ven
ture out OF its hiding places and be put

the remark made that, il the steel works
would only get down to business and

Well, the period OF doubt is fast Civ
ing way to one OF more certainty, and

a feeling of more security, we may con
fidently look for better times, locally at
least. The steel works is the institution
to set the ball rolling, and that it will
