Italian Mountains to BE Decorated.
Italy's mountains are in a fair way of

for each century since the birth of
Christ, on high mountain peaks in diff

statues will all be colossal figures of the

Mr.. STAFFORD'S ADDRESS.
Eloquently sustains the Administration
Policy-Speaker Given a Reception.

A mere than average Saturday evenin,
audience gathered in the opera house IN
listen TO the address, Free dom in tho
Philippines" by Hon. w. p. Stafford of
St. Jobnsbury who came to Bellows Falls
under the auspices OF the Young M,n's
club. Mr.. Stafford has more than state
reputation for beng an orator OF unusual
ability and promise, and there was consd-
cradle curiosity on the part Of the audience
mingled with the desire to see and hear the
man. None were disappointed, and on all
hands was heard warm praise both for the
peaker and hi, attitude toward the most
important question confronting the Ameri-
can government. Mr.. Stafford's style Of ora.
tory is SO superior to the rafting OF the aver
age public speaker, that one has to hear bin
more than once to fully appreciate him.
He has voice of rare richness and his de.
livery is calm, conversational, with few
gestures, yet logical and convincing. The
address was an amirable defense of the ad.
,dmini,tration's Philippine policy, and wa.
delivered to sympathetic audience a, was
shown by the frequent bursts of applause.
The speaker was introduced by DR.. Ed.
ward Kirkland, chairman OF the committee
of arrangements. After the address, some
rs or 100 repaired to the parlors Of To, 4

held. Those receiving with Mr.. Stafford

THE NEWS AND G

Tie News in the Senatorial fight
now going on in is committing some
strange alterations. Its style is
loose and vapid, but not original. 1t
is Tot hard to trace the source Of its
maLdlings at the head of the V. & T..
Railroad.
Its only as the personal organ of Mr..
New.ands that the people are concern
ed in the Ne VS. at this time. 1t has
undertaken to speak for him and it is
only a question of how far its author
1ty extends. Again from this source
Their may be a possible explanation
for is disconnected mutterings on the
ground hereditary mental irresponsi-
bilitv. No one doubts that the News
receives its inspiration from Nh.
New ands nor that it does anything
not tended in his interest.
Therefore it is difficult to under-
stand why the News should
seek to bring Dave Nagel into the
Senatorial fight, why it should in
dulgc in all this talk about tar and
feathers and a vigilance committee,
and all Nagel a cold blooded murder
er. his matter would not be alluded
to at Ill if the News itself had not
brous ut it up, and anything here SAID
is moe in the nature Of an inquiry.
Sine when has Nagel not been
DIS :1g in the interest of Mr.. New
lands? Does Newlands call Nagel a
cold flooded murderer because he
killed Judge Terry? Has Nagel ceas-
ed to DC in the employ of Newlands
and ere these insinuations in the
News intended to make the people
think they are no longer friends?
A Intent public never charged that
Newl.nds was the direct beneficiary
ofJud ,e Terry's death. All suspic-
Ion VS. kept down that Newlands
had il anyway connived at bringing
about 4 meeting between Judge Field
and dye Terry. Nagel was present
with is gun ready and Terry was
shot own, and the Sharon estate was
relieved from a most embarrassing
position. 1t was all brought about
legally and no one ever alluded tC
cunning or intrigue.
Now does Mr.. Newlands come for
ward It this time, say that Nagel was
a cold blooded murderer because he
thinks the latter is trying to help
elect Stewart to the Senate? The
News says, as the mouthpieCe of Nj.
Newla ads, "such men as Nagel anG
in fact the entire coterie Of jobbets
should be taken in hand at once
and given notice to leave
Carson. If they disobey they may
with sreat propriety, be tared ant
feathc ed and escorted to Lake View
and loaded toward Reno"
Dave Nagel is not in Nevada an(
had'n- been for months. 1t is hare
to see what connection with hin
the \ VS. seeks to bring about. The
only plausible explanation at thi
time S that somewhere in tn
familr there is a vein Of mental IN
sound .ess.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George d. Williams, of Man
chester, Mich, tells how such a slave was
made free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she could not
turn over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonder
fully improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, backaohe,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a Godsend to weak,
siokly, rundown people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only SOC. Sold by r. B.

even Lettice could scarcely believe him

The day Of trial came 1t was proven
that he had threatened Nathan's life, and
that he was three hours in reaching Ger.

In that interval, the young Quaker was
murdered. Hayden had entered the depot

coat, button of which was missing. A
button of the same size was found in the

As for Friend Ogleby, he had so desired

he began to doubt his own infallibilty Of

with the judge, declared that he had chad

his consent to his daughters marriage to
