SUGAR FOR TYPEWRITER.
Young Woman With the Gov. Grout
Party Suspected of Having
Eaten So Worth.

Montpelier, Vt, Nov. 15.-The joint
committee appointed from the senate
and house to probe the state scandal
regarding the unauthorized expenditure
of public money for private use by GER
tain state officers is now in a condition
to do effective work.
A joint resolution was passed in both
houses today giving this committee
power to compel the attendance of wit
nesses with papers and to employ a
stenographer at the expense of the
state.
The joint committee has its clerks at
work copying for it's use records in the
state auditors office of ex-Gov. Josiah
Grout, Adjt. Gen. Peck and Quarter
master Gen. Gilmore
Among the amusing items of unau-
thorized expense by Gen. Peck in con-
nection with the Grant memorial trip
are items as follows:

York, $40.
Stenographer for the trip, IS.
Maple sugar, So.
Inasmuch as the two last named
items are entered the same date it is
surmised that the stenographer got the
maple sugar.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 3z5 w. Pearl ST., IndianapO-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle
