While insisting that Gov. Lind did
not allow ability to govern in his
selection of successor to, Judge
Brown, nearly every Republican
paper in the district has said some
thing nice about Judge Steidl and
conceded his honesty. 1t is notat all
probable, however, that Judge Steidl
will discharge his duties with such
distinguished and pre-eminent ability
as to be given a clear field next
election. While a judicial conven-
ton will be something new to this
district, it is almost certain the Re-
publican and Democratic parties will
each hold one. The Republican con-
vention will doubtless Prove a swarm

are figuring on the availability and

each county hes candidate, and that
is not at all unlikely, there should be

The most talked of event in polit-
zeal circles, just now, is the buying OF
thedemocratic nomination for govern
or Of Ohio, by Mr.. John r. Mclean,
whose actual residence is in Wash
ington, but who has large property
interests in Ohio corporations, and
who is also the owner and nominal
editer of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Republicans, including President
Mckinley, do not regard the nomina-
ton Of Mclean as an important fac
tor in the gubernatorial campaign,
because they believe that it has been
from the day of the nomination of
Judge Mach by the Republican con-
vention of Ohio, only question of
how large majority he would be
given-there has never been and is
not now the slightest doubt of his
election. But the Bry an democrats
are in almost state of panic. They
e@c not trust Mclean. They believe
THAT he has secured this nomination
as a part Of a plot to defeat Bryan
for the democratic presidential nom
ination. next year. They are too bad
ly frightened to talk publicly, but
among themselves, they are talking
as hard as they can, and the wires
are hot with messages to the Bryan
leaders, and to Mr.. Bryan himself,
containing plans to head off McLean's
ambition. That Mr.. Mclean is a
multi-millionaire everybody knows,
but why he should be willi1g to
spend any portion of his millions to
get the empty honor of a democratic
nomination for governor of Ohio, the
vice-presidency, or even the presiden-
cy, is something beyond the compre-
hension of ordinary moltals. But he
has already made start in lavish
expenditure for very empty honor,
and that is what is worrying the
Bryanites.

WEEDS.

Their Usefulness and What They DO, Pur~
flying the Air, and Fertilizing the Land.
A youthful correspondent asked the
editor of a horticultural publication this
question: "If nothing was made in vain
what are weeds good for?" The answer,
which is subjoined, shows that weeds
fulfill a useful purpose in the economy
of nature, and are only undesirable
when permitted to flourish where Guilt
waited crops are planted. 1t is doubtless
true, too that in addition to the other
good functions that weeds perform, they
bring about much more thorough cult
walton of crops than would otherwise be
carried out, and indirectly produce larger
yields as a result of the effort expended
TO subdue them:
IF were to answer playfully might
say, to keep some boys out Of mischief
But, honestly, 1 suppose that all living
creatures were made to enjoy life, which
they have the same right to do that we
have. They behave as well as most OF
US do, while / suppose that all vegetation
Is Of service to living creatures, the ami
NAL and vegetable Kingdoms each being
necessary to the other, each sustaining
the other. see no reason why weeds
may not grow in all places where they
do not interfere with the ordinary crops.
They have their uses in the matter OF
purifying the air, which we are constant
ly making impure, all breathing, all fires
and lights, and all decay OF vegetation
rendering it impure. Indeed, 1t is true
that vegetation extracts more from the
air, in this necessary and merciful puri-
fcarion, than from the soil, the difference
going back into the soil for hts fertiliza-
ton, though, of course our ordinary veg
stable foods are not allowed directly to
decay. AS an illustration of this think OF
the vast forests, their lands being kept
in good condition by the falling of the
leaves of their large trees and those OF
the small plants and weeds, these lands
requiring no additional fertllizing. The
same principle applies to the custom OF
some farmers when they let certain lands
rest for year or two blowing under
the weeds, even when nothing Is soWn
FOR an additional crop, the soil being inn
proved without the addition of manures
This, also, will account for the great
depth of the rich soil of the prairies, and
other lands found on this continent when
discovered"

Cubans to learn that the revenue
of the island since Jan. l, 1899, ex-

little sum, and that what has been
expended has made more of a show

LEHPS NEW ENTERPRISE

If the farmers of Lehi will
grasp the situation and unite il
their efforts 10 bring to the Leh
creamery success in its workings
by supplying that institution with
milk with which to produce but,

in their community one of those

Surrounding towns have cream

daily productions with good re-
suits, and there is no given reason
why Lehi should not do the
same.
A company has been organ
lied and a plant erected which
will consume the milk from every
COW in Lehi, and thus bring good
returns to their owners.
1t requires but very little addi-
tional labor upon the part of
those who own cows to milk
them and receive the reward of
their labors, which will certainly
net them a good revenue each
month if they will only do their
part of the work.
There are many COWS in the
town that receive but very little
attention from their owners
some of them being MIXED but
once a day--thus they cannot be
earning enough for the owners to
be profitable, but if they are
given proper attention there is
no reason why every owner OF a

creamery, where he will receive a

STRANGE MATRIMONIAL HISTORY

or Woman Who Was weII-KnOwn In
BrattieborO--.NOw suInE TO Secure an
Allowance from Her Son.
A suit to recover a share of an estate in
New York city calls attention to the
strange life of Mrs. Trafford Blackstone,
the widow of James de Trafford Black
stone of Norwich, Conn, who died re-
Gently at his winter residence in New York
city. Mrs. Blackstone was known years
ago in Springfield, Mass, as Sadie Whitta-
ker. She was a step-sister of Dwight Kid
der, who some years ago shot his step
brother, Charles Kidder, in Springfield.
This shooting caused a sensation at the
time In Brattleboro, the Kidder family
having many relatives and acquaintance
here. Sadie Whitaker was very attract
i've girl, and early developed a talent for
acting. She went on to the stage under
the name of Lillian Osborne, and PLAYED
the ingenue part in "The Mighty Dollar"
Blackstone, the son of a wealthy man, met
her in New York and they were married
about "a years ago. One child was born
to them and named Lorenzo. In June,
1878, Mrs. Blackstone obtained a divorce
from her husband on the ground of incom-
patibility of temper. The child was TO be
with her for six months and with his
father the other six in the year. On Oct.
2S, 1878, Mrs. Blackstone, in sensational
manner, obtained possession of her child
and took it to New York. 1t was taken
away from her by legal steps.
On Nov. 81, 1870, Mrs. Blackstone mar
ried S. d. Sondheim, a broker of New
York. The two did not live happily and
on Jan. 10, 1881, she disappeared. Sond-
helm secured a divorce and married again.
Mrs. Blackstone was then heard from In
Paris, where she became known as painter
of ability, having pictures in the Paris sa-
lon. In 1896 she returned to this country
and was reunited to her husband through
the intercessiOn of her boy, then a student
in Yale college. 10 the meantime her hus-
band had not been idle. He had married
Mrs. Annie Rich of New York, who had
died in 1895, just before his first wife's re-
turn from Europe. The original couple
being remarked, they lived together until
Blackstone died. At his death II was
found that all the family property went to
Mrs. Blackstone's son, having been handed
down to him by entail by his grandfather.
The boys fathers estate was bankrupt.
Mrs. Blackstone, 1t Is claimed, has been
refused an allowance by her son, and is
now suing 10 secure one.

To Cover the Deficit I'm the Road Conn
mIssiOner's Department and to Run
the Department Until Feb. L, 1900.
The special town meeting held yesterday
morning in accordance with the warrant
posted by the selectmen was attended by
about so voters. Little interest was mani
tested, and the business was transacted in
about 10 minutes.
The meeting was called to see what &C.
ton the town would take in regard to rails
ing money to pay the expenses of the road
commissioner TO Feb. /, 1900 Col. Geo.
W. Hooker called the meeting to order and
read the warrant, after which Selectman
Vinton explained that the road commits
soner has spent all the money raised for
his department by tax and that there were
numerous bills yet unpaid. He presented
statement showing that the outstanding
bills amounted to about $4,000 and that
over $500 was due the commissioner for
private concreting, crushed stone, etc,
making the Indebtedness not far from
$500. He said that the selectmen had de-
cided to recommend the raising of S250O to
carry the department through TO Feb. /.
DR.. ID. p. Webster stated that Road
Commissioner K. E Stockwel had been
seriously i'll for several weeks and was I'M
able to be present, but had requested him
to state the commissioner side of the case.
Mr.. StockwelPs version was that the in
debtedness was caused largely by the work
on depot street from the Brattleboro House
to the railroad, the cost of which was
about $27OO. According to his statement
the selectmen agreed to become RESPONSE
BILE for whatever money was expended in
excess of the 5000 received from the state,
which was to be used in making perma-
nent roadway. The selectmen denied that
there was any such arrangement.
DIR. Webster moved that the town raise
$25O0 as recommended by the selectmen,
and that the selectmen be authorized to
borrow that amount. Before the motion
was put John p. Sargent stated that in his
opinion the selectmen ought to be instruct
ed to carry on the work of the road COM
missioner until the March meeting or until
the road commissioner recovered sufficient
ly to resume work. This sentiment was
voiced by j. G.. Stafford and w. f. Walker.
Mr.. Walker believed that no money
should be raised until the March meeting,
as It was not known positively how much
would be needed to carry on the road COM
mlssioner's work until Feb. l, and he made
motion to pass over the article.
Mr.. Vinton stated that many of the la
boring men to whom bills were due from
the road commissioner were in need of the
money, and he did not approve of the idea
OF making them wait for their pay until
after the March meeting The chairman
at this point put the motion of DR.. Web
ster, and it was carried, there being but
one dissenting vote. The meeting was
then adjourned.
