To Clean Mating.

Few things can be used to clean mating
salt and soda have been used, but expert
ence ha, taught the best way is to have the
mating thoroughly swept, and then go
over it with solution of warm water with
Gold Dust Washing Powder dissolved in
it; it is best to use wooden cloth; table,
spoonful of Gold Dust Washing Powder
to a quart of water is the proportion
wiring the cloth almost dry and rub quickly,
but the moment the water gets dirty,
change it for fresh; follow the wet cloth
with . dry one. This cleans perfectly.

Those who avail themselves OF the spe-
cial rate to Montpelier today, offered by
the railroads for the Dewey celebration,
will have an opportunity to ride on the
cars-a rare treat to Bellows Falls people
the railroads seem to think-and that is
about all The period OF time allowed the
celebrators in Montpelier will not permit
of their becoming much contaminated by
the wickedness of the city or overwhelm-
fngly hilarious through contagious enthusi-
asm The Boston & Maine circular adver-
tised special train to reach Montpelier at
1850 A. NJ, and to leave at 80 P. NJ.
This hardly gives time to investigate the
work of the anti-salooon league in the city
to say nothing of Dewey and the fireworks
The Rutland road has little more consid.
eraticn and advertised special to arrive
at Montpelier at 1890 A. M, with train'
leaving the capital at 5 P. NJ. and "st
p. NJ. after the fireworks" in the language
of the circular. According to elaborate}y
written articles in metropolitan papers
Montpelier is an old-tashioned, conserva
tive place, but it hardly seems possible
that on the greatest day in its history The
fireworks will be called eff at 9 o'clock
However, it is too far to walk, and there
was little satisfaction TO be derived iron
trying to bother the railroads by staying a
home.

food drink to take the place of
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all
who have used it because when properly pre-

from all its injurious properties. Grain-O
aids digestion and strengthens the nerves. 1t
is not stimulant but a health builder, and
as well as adults, can drink it with
great benefit. Costs about IA as much as

Ships? What ships are these that. hailing,
Fling their pennons to the breezef
All the states in glory sailing
Through the deep of western seas.
Mark that vessel proudly gliding
Like the sun through mornings gates!
That's Vermont !-"Olympia! "-guiding,
Leading all the fleet of states.
Never vessels sailed more proudly,
Never guns doomed out more loudly,
But Vermont in front is steaming!
High above her wales and fountains,
At the mast head of her mountains,
See her Admirals colors streaming!
Dewey comes mighty nation,
Many-tongued, but now as one,
Rises up with proud citation,
And salutes her hero-son.
And across the peopled spaces,
Once baptiz sd with blood and tears,
Rings one voice from many RACES,
Rolling like sea of cheers;
But the tender chords that thrill it,
And the mellow tones that fill it,
Could they flow from any other
State in all the wide communion
Of this nation in deep union,
Than Vermont, George Dewey's mother
Greet him, all the brave, the fairest!
Hail him, martial, civic bands
He is worthy of the rarest,
Richest welcome at your hands.
Let the cannon boom their loudest,
Trumpets blsre and banners fly,
Let triumphal arch, the prnudest,
Hail him as he passes by
But Vermont, because she bore him,
Breaches benediction er him
Hers the deepest salutation.
For she reared him, wrought and nodded,
All his splendid powers unfolded,
I Then gave Dewey to the nation.
Go thy way, the way of honor,
Let the nation see thy face,
| 1t has shed light upon her
Standing in her lofty place.
| But when ends thy latest meeting
| AS the nations peerless guest,
| George, come home, receive the greeting
| OF the hearts that love thee best!
| All the valleys wait to meet thee
| All the mountains rise to greet thee,
| And the NAPLES fl anne in splendor
| There's no welcome like to brothers,
There's no love lst like thy mothers,
| Old Vermont, the brave, the tender

Bearing full the battles brunt,

Today is Dewey day in Vermont by the
governors proclamation, which recon-
mends that it be made day OF thanksgiv-
ing and a holiday, and that the public
schools aud places of business be closed SO
far as practicable. This move on the part
of the governor will not tend to make
Dewey any less popular with the school
children.

The bean supper, which has become

The latter part Of last week gentleman,
Colonel French by name, who had stere-
SSticon entertainment which he wished to
give in this village, obtained permission
from the school authorities to enlist the
pupils of the lower grades in the sale OF
tickets. He agreed to give each child ten
cents for every twenty-five cent ticket sold,
and the kids went into the scheme lemons.
Visions OF wealth fitted before their youth
full eyes, and imagination pictured large
and substantial toy banks threatening to
burst from the pressure OF their deposits
With one accord two or three hundred
''interesting children" proceeded to harrass
the community with those tickets. Par
ents, guardians and near relatives were
first made to suffer and then sortie was
made on the neighbors. livery doorbell
rang three hundred times and each time a
different child stood on the doorsteps with
a handful of tickets. They swarmed into
the Square at the close Of day and waylaid
the weary toilers going home from work.
To brush them away was out of the ques-
ton they returned to the charge like q
cloud of feas, and only reckless purchase
OF tickets enabled sore oppressed individ-
uals to reach the shelter of their roots
Colonel French thoroughly understand:
how to place an entertainment TO the bes
advantage, but he doesn't want to be the
means OF letting horde Of school children
loose on the same community too many
times.

lessons from these adopts at fraud and

severe droughts. For the last six years
the county officials have been Populists,
but last fall the TOOL voters concluded that

elected Republican commissioners The
new officials will probably decide that no
taxes need be levied in the county this
year, as they find balance of SIS 900 in
the general fund and not one cent of debt.
But the voters OF Sargent county are
now helping to carry on the war and
having a set of sound money officials, they
may find themselves with bonded debt

The Binding Twine Question Again.

For the past three months we have
been urging the farmers Of the Northwest
to avail themselves OF the opportunity
that the business agency Of the Alliance
had secured on the matter Of binding
Irvine.
Last fall the National Farmers Ali
ance and Industrial Union secured con-
tract from certain Irvine factory in Ohio
for the entire output OF the factory Of 100
cars of 10000 pounds capacity or 5000, 900
pounds of Manila Irvine at cents per
pound at factory.
The only conditions imposed was that
these orders would go to farmers only
who were members of the National
Farmers Alliance and in good standing
on the state or national officers books,
to be verified by such officer, with the
name and address OF each farmer with
the number of pounds to be used The
cash to be put up for the order with the
local bank to pay for car on its arrival
after Irvine was inspected and found to be
according to contract" These orders to
be on file at the factory on or before
April Goth, 1890.
AS usual the farmers began to dicker
and suggest every other way to secure
their orders without having to join the
Alliance or to put up the CASH and as
a result this state secured a small portion
OF the Irvine at these rates and the entire
order is taken by adjoining states long
before the time set in the contract
The result of the short sightedness OF
the farmers of this state will cost him
double for his Irvine later in the season.
Many farmers thought that the prison
Irvine would wait for them until they
were ready to order, and as result they
have waited too long here also, as the
prison sold out its entire output OF 5000,
600 pounds a month before the time set
May 1st, 1899. The result OF getting this
Irvine out of the way, will be used by the
Irvine trust to advance prices very mater
tally and it is predicted that Irvine will
be sold this season at prices fully as high
as was sold last season.
Some idea of what this will mean to
the average farmer can be had by an H.
lustration. For instance a 10000 pound
car at cents per pound would cost
ST 300, if the order came in as member
of the Alliance while now this same
grade of Irvine will cost IL cents pound
or 100000 Thus it will be seen it ha

cost every farmer who was not an ALI
ance man who would use 800 pounds oil
Irvine $I8 for being outside of the society
or enough to pay his dues for Is years
within the society," Farmers let us ask
ourselves fair, square question, Does
it pay us to remain unorganzed?"
What is true this season of the farmers
being a victim of the Irvine trusts greed
was true also last year is liable to be true
next year.
What is the remedy? ORGANIZED!
We have received all kinds OF PROPOSE
tons from all kinds of people who want
ed us to violate our obligation and con-
nive with them to place their order at the
rates that we could secure for them and
they would sell this Irvine at prices where
in they could make 100 per cent on their
investment. This we have steadfastly re-
fused and have in every instance request
ed those parties to call meeting Of farm
ers, organize an Alliance and join the
local society and we would fill the order
in the usual way.
1t is strange that we find men who are
SO intelligent and liberal in ordinary mat
tiers are so contracted in matter of this
kind.
They were perfectly willing to enjoy all
the benefits that we could secure for our
members through this national society,
but they would deny a postage stamp to
the organization that could secure such
benefits
Now that this lesson of practical exper-
fence has been taught will farmers be
wise now? There are many benefits
which we can secure for our members
through this society. We are now nego-
tiating with the manufacturer of stand
ard binder machine, wherein we expect to
get discount OF SIS for all orders COM
ing through the Alliance Business Agen-
cy. Also reductions on other agricu1tur-
al machinery in the same proportion. If
farmers would give the business agency
their patronage it would save them thous-
ands Of dollars per year and would soon
place the Alliance on a self supporting
basis, and permit OF abolishing initiation
fees and annual dues.
