Washington County Court,

The jury in the case of DR.. 1. H. Fisk
against the estate of B. p. Young brought
in verdict Wednesday morning for the de-
PENDANT.
A. e. Eldredge of East Warren pleaded
guilty Wednesday afternoon to simple as
sault and was sentenced to pay a fine of $15
and costs. He nonchalantly drew a check
book from his pocket, handed it to his
counsel, and when check for the amount
was made out by Mr.. Stanton, Eldredge
signed it and quietly left the court room.
State V. Ryan and Clough for the alleged
Wednesday afternoon. 1t took nearly three
hours to empanel jury. Twice was the
regular panel exhausted, and Sheriff Col
Inns was sent out for talesmen. d. Willis
Cummins of East Montpelier and Elkins
Perkins of Berlin were finally secured.
States Attorney Rowland and 2. 8. Stanton
for State; q. P. Lamson and f. l.. Laird for
respondent Ryan. Frank Plumley and r.
A. Hoar for respondent Clough.
The State examined about thirty wit
nesses and rested Friday afternoon. A
spirited discussion arose Saturday morning
between counsel relative to the admission
Of certain evidence tending to show that
Clough had tried to sell the oxen in ques-
ton before he took them from the barn OF
Allen & Richardson. This evidence was
excluded by the court subject to respond

Collins and Deputy Sheriff Tuttle made the
Jury as comfortable as possible over Sun
day. They attended service at Trinity
church Sunday evening. The case may 90
to the jury some time today.
Martin d. Toby OF Calais was brought into
court last Wednesday charged with obtain
ing liquor under false pretences. Judge
Munson fixed his bail at $50, which was
furnished by j. o. Livingstone, and the case
will be investigated later in the term.
1t is probable that the case of State
against Mildred Brewster, which is set for
Monday, April 4, will be the next tried.
Judge Munson expects to 60 to his home in
Manchester for a few days rest at the con-
clusion OF the case now on trial, as the
probabilities are that he will not have an
other chance to visit his home until we'll
into May. 1t can safely be said that, barr
ing unforeseen occurrences, there will be no
postponement OF the Brewster trial. A
large number Of witnesses and extra jurors
have been summoned to be here next Mon
day, and the case will be taken up at that
time.

teenth regiment. He was in the bat
ties of the army of the Potomac, from
The peninsula campaign to the battle of
Gettysburg, and showed himself worthy
of the fame of the Green Mountain SOL
der. After the war he filed many
civil offices with distinction, from the
office of reporter of the decisions of the
supreme court of the State to that OF
Judge in that court. His last public
service was on the United States board
of interstate commerce commissioners,
to which he was appointed in 1889 to
succeed Colonel Aldace f. Walker, an
other Vermonter, and brave soldier
of the Civil War. Colonel Veazey was
very active in all congregations of Yer
monters, in the decade following the
war, and general favorite with the
public. He was a spirited speaker.
particularly on war topics, as the writer
remembers him in an address before
the Vermont Officers Reunion Society
in one of the meetings in this city,
during the earlier years of the existence
of that organization. In the prime Of
his powers and activity, he could easily
have been made Governor of Vermont
but for the idea he entertained-ant
which was 80 repugnant to him that ht
declined to enter State convention al
caudidate-that to be Governor woult
be to be shelved at time of life wher
he preferred to be training with thu
rank and file of the citizenship, for it
pleasures and emoluments. Colone
Veazey's age was sixty-four.

A Word OF Advice.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klondike
Gold Fields.

Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neoes-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procur-
ed in the States, in the Dominion or
at the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful
and should be concentrated, but
the most careful attention in the selec-
ton of foods that will keep unimpair-
ed indefinitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the helplessness of q
miner with can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best -four
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow.
der to be the most reliable and the trad
ing companies now uniformly supply
this brand, as others will not keep in
this climate. Be sure that the bacon il
sweet, sound and thoroughly cured
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance
and can under no circumstances be ne.
elected. They may, of course, be sup.
plemented by as many comforts Of
delicacies as the prospector may bt
able to pack or desire to pay for

placent editorial 1--WE" pointed out that
this, that OF the other thing might,
could, would or should happen, till the
reader wonders that every department
of the government is not turned over
to this omniscient creation of Mug
wumpery. Bad journalism is not all

intense saffron hue, is preferable to the

THE agricultural department will,
this season, conduct two special in
vestigations in Alaska, one to ascertain
by practical experiments what vege-
tables and cereals can be grown in
Alaskan soil, and one, under the aus
pices of the weather bureau, to obtain
information as to general climatic con-
ditions. THE climatic conditions OF
Alaska ought to be about as we'll under
as those OF Greenland.

THE Herald is all of Boston, Boston
is all of Massachusetts, and that State
is all of the United States. So, when
Senator Lodge, after visit to Boston,
reports to the President that the Old
Bay State is for Cuban independence,
peaceably if possible, forcibly if we
must, and the Herald denies the truth
of the Senator's report, there is nothing
for the latter and the President to do
but to turn the whole Cuban question
over to the Herald for settlement.
