An Impostor In TrnnhIe.

Francis Truth self-styled "divine
healer,' has left Hartford. His real
name is VIII Bemis and he is a Yer
monter. Last Friday Constable Taussig
and Charles w. Cole went to his estab-
llshment to attach some property.
"Truth" met them and smashed Tausslg
In the face. Mrs. Bemis said that when
her husband struck Taussig in the face
Cole jumped and grabbed him by the
throat, pushed him on the floor of the
barn and pulled out a revolver and a
billy. Taussig also had a billy. The
"divine healer" soon regained his feet
and struck out right and left. He had
no weapon at hand, but finding a short
broom handle he used it so effectively
that very soon he was at the one end of
the barn and the constables at the
other, and they did not dare to continue
the contest. Truth" was arrested and
fined, and since has not been seen. He
and his family have cleared out, bag and
baggage. Bemis is said to have come
from Montpelier. He leaves many
creditors in Hartford The only things
left at his home were the telephone, a
superannuated dress suit case, and some
empty beer bottles.

THE MOVEMENT FOR GOOD ROADS.

Burlington and various other towns IN
Vermont are pushing measures to i'm
prove their highways through the con-
struction of permanent improvements,
but it is to be feared that in the state as
whole the movement for improved
highways, which was instituted under
such favorable auspices few years
since, has received serious setback.
The wise economy of permanent
highway construction has been so
thoroughly demonstrated in different
sections of the country, and especially in
the New England states, that it is no
longer necessary to argue as to the merits
of the substitution of permanent stone
roads for the old and wasteful process of
carting soil into the roadway for the pur-
pose of making ddst in dry weather and
mud in the rainy seasons. All that is
needed is the organization of movement
to secure the necessary legislation by the
| states law makers; and it is to be hoped
that every town In Vermont may seek to
/ impress the necessity for action upon its
representative to be elected few months
hence.
The Massachusetts legislature has been
considering the subject Of good roads,
and present indications are said to point
to favorable action. The ways and
means committee of the lower branch of
the Bay States legislature has Just
favorably reported bill providing an
appropriation of the sum of Sl0O. 900 to
be devoted to improved highways, OF
which sum 100000 is to be expended
the present season and the remaining
| 100000 is to be held for early work in
1899. The bill provides that none but
citizens of the commonwealth shall be
employed on work authorized under the
act, and it has commended Itself to all
classes.
Vermont can not hope to make as gen.
erous appropriations for improved high
ways as can more wealthy states, but il
can make a beginning, and it can enact
legislation to prevent the further vast
ing Of money in heaping up common
dirt roads when the labor could be
more wisely devoted to a short link Of
permanent roadway each season. leaving
the remainder of the work for the road
machine. Vermont hopes to benefi
largely from summer tourists and bicycle
visitors who will come to this state by
thousands, but unless we have gOoC
roads for ourselves as well as for oul
visitors we can not hope to reap long
Our more enterprising neighbOrs viii
open up more Inviting resorts, and Oul
tourist summer will be ended and oul
harvest, past.-Burlingto Free Press.

TUE limited STATES SENATE.

The enormously preponderant vote by
which the house of representatives OF
congress declared for a change in the
manner of electing United States SEN
ators, is one of the most remarkable poll
tical symptoms that have ever been
developed in our national history. 1t is
but a few years since this change was
first proposed. For nearly a century the
nation had gone on with no serious pro-
position to alter the manner in which its
senator's were chosen, yet we now find the
house of representatives declaring that
t is expedient to take this step by vote
. of 1S4 to IL. The approach to unanimity
on the point is something astounding to
those who have not watched the develop
ment of our public affairs, and it was al
together unexpected to many who had
given the subject considerable attention.
I 1t evinces the feeling of need of con-
! stitutional amendment such as had not
been evinced since the first amendments
to that instrument were adopted soon af-
. ter its going into operation.
There are two reasons for this unpar-
alleled demonstration of opinion. One is
that the senate has become of late years
greatly more an important department
of the national government than it had
ever been before; the other, that with
this there has come an increasing dis
: trust of its sound judgment in legisla-
|tion. 1t is not an extreme statement to
say that the senate is the only delibera-
+ tive body of our congress now. The
house is not deliberative in the sense
that public measures are discussed there
in the way that the voice of the peoples
Representatives are heard and their in
huence felt on terms of equality in the
consideration of public measures. The
chances are that in electing member tC
that body congressional district elects &
cipher. The shaping of legislation rest;
: with very few members of the house
and frequently with not more than one
member. Measures pass as it has beer
decreed in small circle that they shall
pass. The right to protest against theil
passage in debate, even, is limited. 1t il
. always understood In advance, not only
& what form they shall take, but how
much shall be allowed to be said will
regard to them. The amount of this ha
. become more and more restricted. Tit

About Army Nurses.

In reply to the many inquiries which
have been made at the adjutant generals
office, it may be stated that female
nurses for United States army hospitals,
when employed, will receive $50 per
month and one ration. For information
regarding the Red Cross society nurses
are requested to address Miss Clara Bar
ton, president, Glen Echo, Md. The
surgeon generals office, war department,
Washington, d. c., states that no female
nurses will be sent to Cuba or to hos
pitfalls on the Gulf coast, and it appears
probable at present that there will be
no necessity for the employment of
trained female nurses. All applications
will, however, be placed on file for
future reference in case of need. Letters
addressed to the surgeon generals
office, war department, Washington, D.
c., will be all that is required.

NERVOUS INSANITY.
SHATTERED NERVES AND HEAL
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT EXIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of Finding "A Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrow's

Dlseaseu hluneyS Leu TO Ine DlScONery
of the World-renOwned MOrrOws
Kidneoids.
No organs of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves. If waste matters of
the system are not removed as rapidly as
formed, the nerves are the first to know 1t
and suffer in consequence. The kidneys
must remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves is apparent and
should be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
lions properly, Systematically and on time,
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body. From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then excitabil
ity of temper; next nervous prostration,
shattered nerves and insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy that not
only will make the kidneys sound, as nature
intended they should be, but also have a
strong and wholesome effect upon the nerve
centers-that remedy is Morrows Ktkneoldsi
prepared in the form of yellow tablet.
MOrrow's Kidneoids are not the foolish fan.
cy of a day, but are the result of years of ex
pertinent, experience and a thorough study
of the relations existing between the nerves
and kidneys. The honor of the discovery OF
the Kidneoids is due to John Morrow that
eminent chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose
reputiOn would not permit HIM to place upon
the market any remedy not of the highest
value and merit.
In our last issue we announced that one OF
the largest drug concerns in the Unit
ed States was negotiating Tor the control OF
MorrOw's kidneOids. We are now informed
by the discoVercr of this most peculiar rem
edv that the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield
Ohio, was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who were endeaVOring to secure
the sole right to prepare and sell Morrow''
