Judge Laiorrest II. Thompson, Of the
Supreme court. writes in support Of Oste-
opathy: 81 think that the practice Of Oste-
opathy should be legalzed in all the States
l believe the time will come when 1t will
be q part OF the equipment OF every physi-
clan and surgeon, without regard to school.
/ am satisfied that Osteopathy has produc-
ed some excellent result s."
Such an official endorsement from the
leading men of the State should have
weight There is a general unanimity that
Osteopathy has produced some marvellous
results 1t is known to be fact that many
OF the old line needles have conceded to
their patients that Osteopathy does good,
and in many cases have been known to
quietly advise them to take treatment
In connection with this it would not be
out of place to give the minds Of the gov
ernors Of the other States who signed the
bills authorizing Osteopathy in their re-
spective States. In many instances heavy
opposition was brought to bear on the gov
ernors not to sign the bills and this oppo-
siiion led to free comments by the magis-
trates. This is what they had to say.
Hon. Lou V. Stevens, governor of Nilsson
RI 1.-THE bill was introduced and passed
both houses by an overwhelming majority
The science Of osteopathy, as far as 1t has
come under my observation, assists in re-
lieving suffering humanity, and do not
think erred in signing the bill"
Hon. John P. Altgeld former governor
OF Illinois, said
"When prescriptions and drugs were as
Intellectual as empty words it came to the
rescue OF myself and Mrs. Altgeld, and did
that which other things had failed to do
Honor those to whom honor is due"
Hon. II. f. Pingree, governor OF Michi-
gan, who signed the bill. said, "Osteopathy
IS q science entitled to all respect and conf
dence as distinct advancement in medi-
cine. know it is doing vast amount Of
good in relieving suffering and deformity +"
Hon. 7. A. Briggs, governor OF North Da-
kota, when importuned by the medical
board not to sign the bill legalzing the
science, said, "Osteopathy has helped me-.
1t has also done good in my family and
will hurt no one. will sign it,"
Hon. B. Mcmillan, governor OF Tennes-
see, who signed the Osteopsthy bill, said .
1T is one of the greatest discoveries OF the
time"
Hon. l. NJ. Shaw, governor OF Iowa, who
signed the. Osteopathic bill in his State,
said, "I am fully convinced that Osteop.
athy is rational system of healing"
Hon. John r. Tanner, who signed the
Osteopathic bill when governor OF Illinois
said, 1.-THE State medical board has been
fighting the Osteopaths long enough
There is no doubt in my mind that Oste.
opathy will reach and cure many chronic
troubles that medicine would have little OIL
no effect upon"
Hon. Andrew f. Lee, governor OF South
Dakota, who signed the Osteopathic bill in
his State, says "Osteopathic bills have
been passed in several other States and
from careful investigation of the claims
OF the system, believe its practitioners are
entitled to the protection of our laws"

AFTERMATH.
Sequel to the Recent Fish and Game
Banquet at Burlington.

Much comment, adverse and otherwise,
has been made because at the annual ban
quet of the State Fish and Game League,
held at the Van Ness House, Burlington,
Wednesday evening, November 10, bottled
Bass ale was served TO each guess at the
banquet This violation of the prohibitory
law seemed all the more fragrant because
that week the citizens OF Burlington had
voted TO close their liquor agency, and be-
cause that very day large number of drug
gists and hotel keepers OF that city-eX-GOv
Woodbury., owner of the Van Ness House,
among the number-had been summoned to
appear before Judge Rowell for alleged
violations of the prohibtory law.
despatch to the Sunday Globe from
Burlington gives further result of serving
ale at the banquet,as follows: "Ex-Gov. u
A. Woodbury., proprietor of the Van Ness
house OF this city, and lifelong advocate
OF temperance principles and practice was
today served by Sheriff Reeves with a
notice citing him to appear before Chancel-
Tor John w. Rowell on November %, to
show cause, il any he may have, why a
temporary injunction restraining him, his
servants or agents. from selling, furnishing
or giving away intoxicating liquors at the
said Van Ness House dining room, pending
hearing for permanent injunction at the
next session OF county court, should not is
sue
THE issuing of the citation evidently
grew out of the recent game dinner of the
Vermont Fish ald Game league at the Van
Ness House, and at which nineteen-twen-
tieths OF the leading politicians OF the state
were present, including the governor, lieu
tenant governor, Congressman Powers and
Grout, and half-hundred men OF ability
and character who would like to fill these
offices as soon as they become vacant.

barrels of pint bottles OF Bass ale, which,
served at the dinner and by the servants OF
the Van Ness House in their regular duties
as walters.
During the evening several members of
the party, who had PROFESSIONALLY partaken
OF stimulants prior TO entering the dining
room, became quite jovial 80 much so that
when the orchestra struck upon rag
time tune, they lifted their voices in joy
GUS song, and drove dull care away. Gov
ernor Woodbury., though present in the OF.
fee part OF the time during the serving of
the dinner, was not present as a guest, but
retired TO his home outside the hotel at'an
early hour.
For several ears the temperance people
OF Vermont, and the ultra-high license ad-
vocates AZ we'll, have had 1t in for Governor
Woodbury., the first named, because some
OF his guests were known to carry or have
conveyed for them certain Intoxicating
liquors which they may have drunk at the
public table or in the privacy OF their rooms,
the others because the governor had ON
several occasions put himself on record as

ELECTRICS TIED UP.

The electric cars are again tied up for a
few days, owing to an accident at the Con.
solidated Lighting Compauy's power house
at the Pioneer village.
At 948 Monday morning a short circuit oc-
Cured on the line and in less time than it
takes to tell it the dynamo which gener.
ates the power for the electric railway was
crippled and rendered useless for the time
being. The cars ont on the line were run
in by power from the storage battery.
The engine used to run this dynamo is
the smaller OF the two used at this electric
light plant, butts quicker, running at the
rate OF $50 revolutions per minute. On
feet nine inches in diameter, connected by
belt with a pulley on the dynamo
three feet and three inches in diameter
having a wooden rim with steel spokes.
The theory is that when the short circuit
occurred the dynamo stopped, and the en-.
Rine, running at its high rate of speed,
broke these pulleys up like 80 many egg
shells, the wreckage going through the
window, up through the ceiling and in
other directions
Fortunately no one was injured. Frank
Linehan, the electrician in charge, had a
narrow escape. When the accident hap
pened he was passing along the opposite
side of the room when he heard a crash,
and piece OF pulley flew past him, just
grazing his hand.
The Lane Manufacturing Company is
rushing out the repairs Mr.. Linehan said
that If they had good luck in making the
repairs they would again be able To furnish
power for the road by Wednesday.
In the mean time the cars are at stand
still Monday there were Instances where
partie', who had not heard of the accident
to the power, waited for some time TO take
a car, and only gave up waiting when they
were informed what had occurred.

As TO PrerOgatiyes.

The people are very friendly TO Mr.. Dill
lingham and there is no question as to his
ability to properly represent his State in
either branch of Congress. Yet when we
think of it he is not the one to select, the
people do this, it is their prerogative to
name the man for any position of trust or
honor.-Poultney Journal
There is nothing particularly new or
original in the Journals statement of
the prerogative of the voters in the
matter of choosing men for office.
There is confusion, real or simulated, in
the mind of the Journal writer as to
the relation of things in this matter.
Mr.. Dillingham; is not usurper. He
is not proposing to override the prerog-
atives of the people. No citizen was
ever more obedent to the will of the
people. But Mr.. Dillingham; is the one
man competent to decide whether or
not he will become a candidate for an
office, and, having settled this matter,
he will submit his qualifications and
general fitness for the duties of that
office to the preference and decision Of
the people. That is Mr.. Dillingham's
"prerogative," and behind the exer-
else of which, supplementing and rein
forcing it, there is, in his case, a very
large body of the best citizens of Yer
mont, disinterested in their motives,
unselish in their purposes, preferring
this man by reason of his superior fit
ness, desiring only the best service and
the perpetuation in the Senate of their
States high and long-maintained dis
tinction for eminent craftsmanship.
There is no excuse for becoming tam
gled up in questions pertaining to the
peoples and the candidates functions
in the matter of office, and "when we
think of it" no man whose head and
heart are in normal condition of clear
ness and impartiality will get stalled in
this "prerogative" mud.

Friday marked the third anniversary Of
the legalizing Of the practice OF osteopathy
in Vermont Three years ago the atten-
ton of the Legislature was brought to the
fact that now science for the cure Of
human ills was knocking at the door OF
Vermont, seeking authorization to be adj
mitted therein. AS this State was the
first commonwealth in the union in which
legislation was then asked it took a great
deal OF courage for the general assembly
to enact such law that would legalze
its practice, but such was the force OF the
arguments used and the clearness OF the
logic demonstrated before the legislative
committees to which the bill had been re-
ferred that both the committee OF the House
and the committee OF the Senate made
unanimous report and the act passed both
branches by viva voce vote, being made
law within an incredibly short space OF
time.
This act made it lawful for the holders Of
diplomas from the American school OF Oste-
opathy at Kirksville, Mo, to practice their
arts in Vermont. Following the good ex-
ample set by Vermont the other States,
Missouri, North Dakota, Michigan, Iowa,
South Dakota, Illinois and Tennessee fell
into line legalizing the science.
Vermonters take a certain amount Of
pride in the fact that the State was the
first to legslize Osteopathy, as 1t has been
taking pride in number OF history-making
events during the past year
There is at the present time pending
/ hafn ba ania l ~
similar in effect to that which was intro
duced in this State and in the other States,
namely to legalize the science.
DR.. e. Beemsn, of this city, is taking
an interest in having Vermonters heard
upon the question and has secured from
the leading men of the State signed state
ments of what they think about Osteopsthy
and of the good that it has done in Yer
mont
These statements are to be sent to Geor-
ga for the purpose OF acquainting the legis-
lative committees of what the real feeling
is in this State on the subject. The state
ments are OF a very prsisworthy character.
When the bill passed the legislature Gov
Josiah Grout said, "Osteopathy has been
tried by the leading men and women OF the
State, and they all testify to its merits. We
will give it a chance" He has never re-
GREETED signing the bill.

prominently spoken of as the successor tC
