This Information TO Farmers around Mont
pelIer IL Worth More than the Present
Value of "a Bin Full OF Grain.
In East Barre, about five miles from Barre
post-offce, there lives n good, honest, hard
working tiller of the soil, named WATSON f..
Dow. Like every sensible farmer Mr. Dow
subscribes FOR papers and one evening as he
was looking over his Barre weekly, his eye
CHANGED to catch reading notice which proved
a bonanza for him and frightened up his flag
ging spirits over the low price of grain and
farm produce, and the high price of commodi-
ties which are necessary for farmers exis-
tence. A farmer reasons in his own peculiar
way and he calls spade spade so MIR. Dow
says quietly to himself; II want Just such a
remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills If it carries
out faithfully half what il claims, it will cure
my lame back. However much good may re-
suit from one box, little or no harm can en-
sue." When Mr.. Dow visited Barre he made
some inquiries at drug store, about the pre-
paration, and was informed that scores of peo-
pie in Barre and the surrounding country had
thoroughly tested Doan's Kidney Pills and
some had published their experience in Barre
papers. This was enough for Mr.. Dow. He
purchased a supply and what follows is his ex-
perience: MY kidneys troubled me for some
years off and on. | tried many different rem
edies but without obtaining any permanent re-
lief. In the fall of 1896 / was in pretty bad
shape and suffered constantly from sharp pains
when | would apply a mustard plaster over
my kidneys only to get relief for the time be-
ing. A weakness of the kidney secretions was
very annoying, especially at night, as it dis
turbed my rest. The secretions we're also very
highly colored. / read of Doan's Kidney
Pills and as they we're so highly recommended
| got a box from the drug store. After using
them the weakness was relieved and the secre-
lions became normal. / got a second box and
when, had finished it was cured. | am 50
greatly pleased with the prompt and thorough
manner in which Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me that am always glad to recommend them
personally to anyone should they call on me-"
There can be published in Montpelier from
outside places over three thousand statements
similar to the above. Now the question is,
would three thousand from unknown people be
half as convincing as one statement from a
Montpelier citizen? Doan's Kidney Pills are
for sale by all dealers, price fifty cents.

Neutral Intervention Impossible.

The prominence which the Presi-
dents message gives to the discussion
of intervention "as an impartial neutral
by imposing a rational compromise be-
tween the contestants" indicates a
preference on the part of Mr.. McKin-
ley for that method of dealing with the
situation in Cuba.
A very little consideration will suffice
to show that neutral Intervention of
the kind thus proposed is simply i'm
possible.
1t would involve, as the President
himself comedies, "hostile constraint

Spanish Love of Bloodshed.

In the midst of all the distress and
misery could not help noticing how
bloodthirsty the race is. A mother and
daughter were standing by me when
the last COW was killed. The butcher
very skillfully stood by the side OF the
animal, reached TO his spine and plunged
a knife into it, withdrew it and plunged
it in again, and repeated the operation
a third time, when the poor beast fell
over dead. instinctively turned away
from the sight, and was mortified to note
the intense interest the women were
taking in it and how their eyes glistened
with pleasure rs they murmured their
appreciation OF the butchers skill
may, of course, have judged them
wrongfully; it may have been the de-
light with which they were anticipating
the coming meal, but / don't think
there could be any mistake-the ex-
preston OF their faces clearly showed
how they enjoyed the spectacle of blood
shed and slaughter.-James II. Hare in

The Senatorial Contest.

ut is not our intention to show any
disrespect 20 the Hon. Frank j.
Cannon" says the Democratic Broad
AK. "But it is our opinion that he is
possessed with large stock OF gall if he
entertains the idea that the Democratic
party OF this state ought to re-elect him
to the exalted position which he now
holds simply because he happens to be
in favor Of free silver. 1t would be Just
as logical for the senator and his friends
to insist that the people ought to appear
nude or naked because Adam and Eve
appeared in that condition 5000 years
ago and were not ashamed oft either.
What has Senator Cannon done or
accomplished in behalf of the Demo-
cratic party OF this state that should
entitle him to receive its support? Has
not the senator used his great talent to
destroy, disrupt and to bring the Demo-
cratic party into disrepute? Is he any
better qualified to represent the people
OF Utah in the United States Senate than
the Hon. w. II. King, Judge S. r.
Thurman, the Hon. David Evans, the
Hon James H. Moyle, Judge r. N.
Baskin, Col. A. G. Ellis and score of
other loyal free silver Democrats who
eminently qualified to accomplish as
much for free silver and possibly more
than Senator Cannon? We pause for an
answer"

about to build refinery at Honolulu
and will OF course monopolize the sugar
product of the Sandwich islands. II
now that trust can in.iuce the United
States to admit sugar free from the
Philippines AMI the West Indies. or
annex those islands, the trust will pro-
coed to likewise get monopoly of their
sugar. The success of this policy would
give the American sugar refining COM

ton, and its shares wouldlbe worth two
or three times as much as now. But
such policy would annihilate our do
mestic sugar producing industry. 1t
would ruin existing beet sugar factories
and cane sugar mills, and deprive
American farmers Of the home market

since, to put that vast sum into the

A New System.

The sugar factory will this year adopt
new system of samping beets for the
laboratory. Instead of selecting average
sample beets, quartering them, grating
and expressing the Juice for the polar
iscrope as heretofore, machine has
been installed tor rapidly plugging each
of the beets in the baskets. The plugs
extracted are ground and the in ice
extracted by what is called water diges-
ton. 1t is claimed that this method is
more correct than the old, inasmuch as
there is no selection Of beets, where
preference might be shown. On the
other hand, care must be exercised in
the plugging, as it is well recognized
that different parts of the same beet
will show very different sugar content
and purity. The new plan is said to
operate satisfactorily in Nebraska

The immense territory of Thibet Is

western and northern frontiers, consti-
tute formidable barriers against in

extreme west-''the worlds backbone"

which shut out India on the one hand

Thus one sees that the population
Of India, most fertile country inhab-
tied by most frugal people, increases
at slower rate than that of many
countries in Europe, at about the
same rate as Japan, and at a slower
rate than that of many native states
within its own borders; that India
suffers under poverty which is con
tinually increasing; that the signs Of
this poverty are to be found in dis
tricts where the population is even
diminishing; that of the other states
with which one has compared it,
though representing great range of
civilization and prosperity, some rich
and some poor, none shows so hope

main source of its misery - the one OBJ

erty, is it meant that the people are
too numerous for the land to supply
them with food? Food is exported
from India every year, so that eanno'
be the meaning Is it meant that they
cannot purchase foreign goods, having
in consequence of the pressure OF
numbers, to expend all their energies
in raising food? The export of raw
cotton, opium and iute is sufficient to
pay for the cotton goods, which are
the only foreign manufactures the
mass of the Indians use. The Indians
need no foreign Injuries; they export
food, and yet one is told there is
''over-population." But there is one
thing one has forgotten. There is
one foreign luxury, the most expen-
sive of all Injuries, and in that the
people of India are forced to indulge
the luxury of alien government and
alien exploitation. India.

We are usually inclined to think that
an artist without hands would be as
absurd and useless as watchman
without eyes. But an Englishman
named John Carter, who was help
less paralytie, having only the use of
his head, was an artist of worldwide
reputation.
Fourteen years before his death Mr.
Carter's neck was dislocated by fall.
md he retained only the use of his head
and shoulders. During all the long
years that he lay in this helpless con.
dition Mr.. Carter drew pictures with a
pencil that he clasped between his lips,
his sketching board being propped up
close TO his face. He finished many of
his sketches in India ink, using a fine
brush which he manipulated with his
lips and tongue. John Carter died in
June, 1850, leaving behind a number of
pictures that ranked high as works Of
orf
