There has been some kicking among the
state papers on the law supplements pro-
vided BY the state for ircu'ation, and
with good reason too. The supplements
were miserably printed and mlserably put
together; it is little wonder some Of the
papers were ashamed to send them to their
readers, fearing they would think they
we're printed in the local offices. For the
credit Of the state and good name Of the
press, Vermont should either engage new
printers or pay enough SO that the present
printers can afford to do a job that will
pass inspection in the dark.

The Wilmington Times thinks that the
recent investigation into state expenses
was fake of the first water. 1t says" 1t
was evidently part of political game
concocted by the anti-Grout element Of the
republican party, for the purpose of stab
bing Gov. Grout in the back and to Incl
dentally injure Congressman W. W.
Gro ut, for the benefit of w. P. Dilling-
ham, who is supposed to be Gen. Grout's
strongest political rival"

Congressman Grout engaged in warm
tilt with Gen. Henderson Of Iowa in the
national house Of representatives last week.
The appropriation bill for the District OF
Columbia was up for consideration. Gen.
Henderson wanted an appropriation Of
$500 for St. Joseph's Orphan asylum
Gen. Grout opposed the appropriation oa
the ground that the asylum is sectarian
institution and as such should not receive
public money. After debate of two hours
the house sustained Gen. Grout and the
bill passed without division.

Jacob j. Shelly Dead.
The Late Foreman of the
Post Closes a Brief, but
Industrious Life.

On Monday morning at 26
minutes past 3 o'clock, Jacob j.
Shelly, the late foreman of the Mid
dleburgh PosT, passed from life to
eternity. He was born April 4,
1875, hence, was % years, one
month and 10 days old. His life
was short, but it was useful one
aud one spent in industry and faith
fulness. In January 1889. he ell
tered the printing Office of the Nems
Item of this place. He finished his
trade and continued in the service
of that paper until July l5, 1895
when the editor of the Posi- tender
el to him the position of foreman of
this office. He accepted the position
and filled it with unhinching devo-
ton until Jan. %, 1898 when at
the close of his days labor, he was
seized with his first hcmorrhage.
1t was a most unwelcomc thought
to miss a days work, but alas. it
was not possible for him to avoid it.
He remained at home for two weeks.
Meanwhile the PosT was moved
into the new and commodious build
ing it now occupies. From the time
the new building was contemplated,
his highest ambition was to work in
The new building. He could not
resist the temptation and returned
to work, but the ravages of gallop-
ing consumption had gotten such a
powerful hold upon his system, that
he was compelled to yield to its
mandate after 3 days work and
never after was able toreturn to the
work he loved 80 much. I'm Feb
ruary 1896 he was converted in the
u. b. church Of this place and re-
mained faithful to the time he drew
his last breath when prayers to his
God were upon his dying lips. As
his employer, we can truthfully say
that we never expect to get Il more
faithful employee. His suffering is
ended and he Las enteredupon life
eternal where suilerings never come.
/. The funeral obscquics took place
on Wednesday morning at eleven
O'Clock. Rev. S. Il. Boughter, his
pastor, preached in English and Rev.
q. q. Romig of Richfeld, in Ger
man. Tie pail bearers selected were
J. A. Snyder, Editor of the Nems
Item ; Albert Smith, Editor of the
Elizabethvillc Echo; A. M. Aurand,
Editor of the Adamsburg Herald /;
and the Editor of the Posi-, three of
whom were his employers. His life
was brief, bat it was useful and
well-spent. Peace be to his ashes.
On account of Mr.. Smiths in
ability to be here, F. W. Specht was
substituted as pail bearer.

go, we bespeak for him an abundant

Where st. Louis Leads.
Its Raihoay Station Claimed to be
the LarQest in the IHOrM.

Its Raihoay Station Claimed to be
the Largest in the World.
Among the monster railway sta
tions of the world that of st. Louis
is claimed to be the largest. 1t has
an area of 424, 200 feet, 81 tracks
and "a roads running into it, Its
capacity is almost double that Of
the Boston and Maine station ut
Boston, the second largest in the
world.
Two hundred and sixty trains
pass in and out of the Union station
every day, 1870 each way. They
average 100 passengers to a train.
This means that a total of26, GOO pas
sengers pass through that stationev-
cry day. Imagine the fourth largest
city in the state-Springfeld-
loose in a day and coming to st.
Louis.
Taking the daily average Of
26, 900 passengers as the basis Of
thit calculation, 10000 travellers
pass through the Union station q
month, which is more than the en-
tire population Of West Virginia.
The yearly average is $3.50, 900
and this sum is equalto the combin.
ed population Of New York ant
Illinois.
