Gen. Joe Wheeler,

Gen Joseph Wheeler, the veteran Of
two wars, was given splendid ovation in
Boston on Memorial day. Gen. Wheeler
is southern man by birth and education,
be is confederate veteran, and lifelong
democrat, yet he is an American whose
loyalty is above suspicion or reproach. His
Memorial address was a scathing rebuke to
perhaps majority of his own party and
especially to the mugwump element of the
country, the element which is always pitted
against the existing order. He said in
part:
All will concur that while it is commend
able in the highest degree for any of our
citizens, whatever their occupation or po-
sition, to aid the executive and his cabinet
by information or advice, all should realize

The Diet Fad,

Sensible people have learned that the
best diet is vasiety of wholesome food.
If the digestive apparatus is out of order
no amount of starvation diet will regulate
it, but will tend to aggravate rather than
remedy the ailment. If you are bilious,
dyspeptic, liver torpid, bowels constipated,
yellow with jaundice, or have sick head
ache, cure yourself with Baxter's Mandrake
Bitters, and then eat reasonably of whole
some food aud enjoy it. After you are
cured an occasional dose of Baxter's Man.
drake BItters will keep you well. Price 25
cents per bottle, also in tablets same price.
All druggists guarantee it to cure or money
back. SAT.

Since the Central Vermont went into the
hands of the Grand Trunk there have been
several important changes. 1t has been re-
ported that the general manager has given
notice to all whom it may concern that it is
the company's intention to discontinue at
once the acceptance Of orders Of its en-
ployes assigning their earned wages. He
states that the practice Of assigning wages
due is Objectionable, and it is desired that
employees shall conduct their personal busi-
ness without annoyance to the company.
Hereafter the assignment Of wages by an
employe or the collection of debt through
trustee writ will be considered sufficient
cause for dismissal.

The editor of the Lowell, Mass, Morn
ing Mail was fined 800 recently for run
ming liquor advertisement in bis paper,
Lowell being no-license city now. In
his finding the judge said: "Surely, if it is
an offence under the statute for a COM
mercial man to enter the Office or
home Of single citizen of Lowell to solicit
orders for the purchase of liquor, certainly
it is none the less SO for the defendant to
print and circulate soliciting advertise
ment into thousands of homes in a no.
license city, to be read and exert an infu-
ence upon hundreds Of minds of all ages
and conditions who might never otherwise
have known Of the extraordinary value OF
the whiskey to be had by ordering OF the
defendants employer"

The number of those residing within the
narrow limits of Vermont who are gifted
with political prophecy is on the increase.
One of these prophets, says an exchange,
has been visiting Essex Junction lately,
and his representations appear in the Rec
ord of that village. According to them
Col. Haskins will be governor Of Vermont
next year, and J. G. Mccullough the fol-
lowing term. Grout will probably be SEN
ator from the second district, and Plumley
member Of congress. Page will be men,
Der of congress from the first district with
Powers, Stickney, Batchelder, Foster, Peck
and others in the race. w. W. Stickney's
opposition to the railroad mileage bill de-
stroyed bis chances for nomination as gov
ernor. Haskins and Plumley have both ia
vored the election of Gen. Grout to con-
gress heretofore, and it is thought theyIwill
now unite in assisting him to the senate,
and this will make Gront's friends solid for
Haskins for governor, and Plumley fo1
congress from the second district. Nc.
Cullongh will naturally expect the nomi'
nation for governor in 1902. Dillingham;
has a host Of friends and may put up such 6
strong fight for the senate as either to wiz
or throw the Office to the psesent incum
bent, Judge Ross, for the unexpired term
of the late Senator Morrill,.
