The Brewster Trial.

The trial of Mildred Brewster at Mont
pelier for the murder of Auna Wheeler
attracts the usual crowd at the opening of
count each morning, and by far the greater
umber Of the spectators are said to be
women. Miss Brewster seems to take little
interest in the proceedings, but sits in her
chair beside her father and brother and rocks
listlessly back and forth, occasionally glanc-
ing at the jury but paying no attention to the
staring of the crowd
Friday w. J. Kinsley of Elizabeth, N. j.,
en- expert witness on hand writing, took the
stand and established the fact that anon ymous
letters had been written by Miss Brewster to
Anna Wheeler and her mother, showing, it is
believed, premeditated murder.
Thomas Sheridan put on the witness
stand and testified further in regard to the
letters found in Miss Brewster's room on the
afternoon OF the shooting. These letters were
addressed to Mrs. Luther s. Wheeler, John
Wheeler, Wesley Brewster and one to Mr.
Mcbride, who kept lodging house where
both witness and respondent roomed. Wit
ness saw the letter addressed to Mr.. Mcbride
burned after he had read it, but he testified
to the contents from memory. As near as he
could remember it said: 1.-The reports yol

PARKHILL.

For some time past people living in the
north part of this town have been annoyed by
gang of rowdies, who have amused them
selves after dark by playing cheap practical
jokes, throwing stones at people and build.
ings, rapping on doors and other things of
like nature. The low down hoodlums have
not the courage to call on an able bodied man,
but get in their funny work on boys and old
ladies who live alone and have no means of
defending themselves. 1t is fact that more
than one person is afraid to go out after dark
and one old lady, who lives alone, has not
occupied her house for some time for no other
reason than fear and when it is known that
there are married man and heads of families
engaged in this noble work it would seem
that if there was ever a job for the fool killer
this is one. What pleasure or profit any in
telllgent human being can derive from such
things is beyond my imagination. 1 have
been complained to and asked to put stop
to this lawlessness and will say to any
and all concerned that the names of these
disturbers of the peace are well known and
further complaint will be followed by a
visit of some of our prominent y citizens to
Keene and an appearance before Judge
Holmes. We think we can stop this particu-
lar form of rowdyism without the aid of U.
S. troops in Westmoreland.

Vermont Live Stock Company Will Cease to
Exist.

EXIST.
The Vermont Live Stock company will
probably close up its business this year. The
company now has only about 1000 cattle on
increased depends upon the conclusions of
John ID. Stevens, the manager. The COM
PAW held meeting in Brattleboro last weeE,
at which Mr.. Stevens was present. The mat
ter of buying more cattle was discussed at
some length. 1t was finally decided to leave
the matter with Mr.. Stevens, but it is gener-
ally expected that he will decide not to stock
the ranch to any great extent. In that event
the sales of the coming year will include the
entire present stock OF the ranch, the profits
of which will be divided among the stock
holders unless they decide to stock up again
next year, which. does not seem probable.
The Vermont Live Stock company was
formed in the spring of 1884 and It's capital
stock is held largely by Brattleboro men. Its
ranch consists OF government land in South
Dakota. The first two years OF its existence
were beset with difficulties, which resulted in
a severe loss, but for the next ten years
handsome profit was realized. Another set
back come in the winter OF 1867, when the
cattle became scattered and from % to 40 per
cent of them persisted. The past winter has
been favorable and the cattle are now in good
condition. But the time has come when the
high price of Texas cattle, which are chiefly
used in stocking the ranch, the gradual set
thing up of the country, competition and the
uncertainty of the weather must be taken
into account in determining the prospect for
success in combined effort After its first
losses the company adopted the policy of
buying only steers and depending for profit
upon their growth aud tattening, thereby
avoiding the risk which attended its former
policy of breeding. Another saving has been
effected in the past two years by selling the
outfit required to run the ranch and by pool
ing the stock with that of other ranches.

THEODORE L. FRARY,

Burlington, VT, June 26, 1897.
Statement of c. A. MINER, M. D.
GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, April 7, 1897.
I desire to say that the Fidel-
ity Rupture Cure Method in the
hands of a skilful operator will cure
any case that can be re-
duced. 1 have suffered with All ag-
gravated case Of umbilical hernia for
20 years. Eighteen years ago was
operated upon by DR.. John Sher-
man Of national repute as master
radical cure by the knife, of New
York. I paid $3.50 before I got
on the operating table, staid in his
hospital five weeks at $25 per week
returned to Chicago where l was in
general practice, and in three weeks
was as bad as before OPERATING and
no redress whatever. Was COM
PEELED to wear a heavy truss con-
tinually thereafter, -Four years ago
1 tried DR.. Jichett's Injection Cure
of Chicago; was injected once every
four or eight days for three months,
suffering fearful Inflammation; was
laid up the major part of the time.
The doctor gave it up claiming that
1 was too -corpulent, as I weighed
from 23O to 245 pounds. Two years
later tried the Knott Methad. elm
lection" injected every five to seven
days. First four or five injections it
seemed to benefit me then came an
inflammation; l was laid up two
weeks; kept at it, but the entire edge
Of the rupture became an obdurate
ring which could not become in
Jected into after nine injections.
This doctor gave the case up. After
all inflammation ceased l placed my
self in the care of DR.. George L.
Winn, who had bought DIR. Wray's
old office at Rockford, ILL.,, and had
oper ated with the doctor in many
cases. He gave me five Fidelity
treatments paying no attention to
the obdurate ring, but placed his
medicine through the rupture serva-
tus two and one half inches deep,
and 1 am cured today. Have worn
no truss for months. Suffered no
inconvenience from the first. 1t is
THE treatment in skilful doctors
hands. There is no necessity Of
giving you all the details of my suf-
fering. I am happy in my present
condition.

LEWIS SMITH, MONTPELIER

To those who are suffering with
rupture:
l was ruptured years ago and have
been obliged to wear truss for
many years and it was almost i'm
possible for me to get one that would
hold the rupture in place.
June I'd last l commenced taking
the "Fidelity" Rupture Cure Treat
ment at the company's office in Bur-
lington, and today, July 7th, I con-
slider myself cured and there is no
sign whatever of the rupture coming
down upon the removal of my truss.
For many months before I COM
menced taking this cure, I was able
to do but very little work and that
of the lightest kind, but in two weeks
after took the first treatment I went
to work for the street department Of
Montpelier, and have not lost day
since. I felt no inconvenience from
the rupture or treatment during the
time I was taking it and grew better
and stronger every day. am a
poor man and work by the day for
living, but 1 would not 60 back
where 1 was six weeks ago for any
amount Of money and my advice to
those who are ruptured is to take
this treatment and be cured.
