Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys.
Hundreds of citizens testify to this.
Here is case in point:
Mr.. Rexford Benson of Ssxton's River, .
harness maker, living near Glynn Bros store,
says:
"My kidneys commenced to trouble me
with sharp pains across my back and hips. If
took cold it always settled in my back and
bothered me until my c,ld was better. After
working hard for few days felt lame and
sore ard if turned around quickly q stitch
like pain caught me in the back which for the
time being was very severe. In the fall of
1896 my back was very bad and I had my At
tention called to Doan's Kidney Pills. 1 sent
and got box at Andrews drug store. They
were just what needed. They relieved me
in every way and made me better and strong
or. / still use them once in . while, and
from what know of them can safely say
thst Doan's Kidney Pills will do all that is
claimed for them"

A Dewey Memorial.

The state of Vermont is considering the
subject of providing tribute to her distin-
guished citizen, Admiral Dewey. The Ver-
mont legislature, now in session. has the SUBJ
ject before it. A statue has been proposed,
but more practical method Of proceeding
seems to be finding most favor. It is to pro-
vide a "Dewey Hall, to be used for drilling
purposes in the states military institution,
Norwich University. This institution has
long been famous as military school, and
many of the most conspicuous officers of the
civil war were among its graduates. It is
likely that the legislature will appropriate
q sum toward the addition of this hall to the
university.

Ryegate were adjusted this week a. follows:
The Vermont Mutual loses 35845; Union,
800; Continental, $1,000; Home, $500;
Phenix, $500; total, S15,045 The damages
to buildings and contents nu the other side of

800. A. F. Millikin received $4,000; 81. W.
Hlbbard & Co., $500; Martin Gibson, $1,000
on stable and contents and $500 on his
dwelling; Charles Oakley, $500 There was
no insurance on the contents of the postoffice
or the jewelry store in the insurance building
and the excess of loss above the amount of in
surance in other cases would swell the total
property loss by the FIRE to nearly OIL quite
$4,000. The origin of the FIRE will probably
always remain . mystery.

Dewey Got a Thrashing.

Msjor 2. K. Pangborn, the old time Bur-
lington boy, who was nominated for congress
by the Hudson County IN. republicans,
boasts that he is the only man who ever
whipped Admiral Dewey. The incident took
place. Major Pangborn says, when he was
teaching school near Montpelier. The major
tells the New York Times that the school had
hard reputation. The )ys had compelled
several teachers to leave before the end of
their terms and there was some doubt as to
whether Pangborn could succeed or not.
The first day of school the teacher saw
Dewey in a tree throwing stones at small
boys. He told Dewey to stop and received q
defiant answer. Dewey refused to come
down. The teacher then cut hickory
branch that made an effective whip and also
clubs. Dewey remained from school the rest
of the day. and the next morning when he
entered he was promptly called out by the
teacher. Several other boys arose from their
seats and moved forward.
"We've made up our minds to give you a
licking" said Dewey to his teacher. The
lad struck at the teacher but YVES hurled back
and the hickory whip came down on his
shoulders and back. Dewey was then about
Is years old. Pangborn piled the whip and
kept the future admiral at arms length. A
boy who went to his chum's assistance re-
ceived blow and when resistance ceased the
whipping stopped.
Major Pangborn taught to the close of the
term and could have had the school for
another term. In after years Dewey said to
the major: "You made q man of me. But
for that thrashing you gave me should
probably have been in states prison before
