MEMORIAL DAY IN WOODSTOCK

A perfect day-the weather all
that could be wished for-was the
good fortune of the veterans in their
observance of Memorial day and the
patriotic exercises were successfully
and impressively carried out. The
ranks of the Grand Army are thin
ming and thus therei is always some
sadness in the appearance of the old
soldiers, and each year there are
more graves on which to place a
wreath.
In the procession Wednesday about
sixty veterans of Randall Post were
in line. Led by Dewcy's band and
escorted by Canton Woodstock, l.
O. O. r., they marched to the ceme-
terry, where the services were con-
Quoted BY Randall Relief Corps.
From the cemetery the veterans
marched to the town hall, where the
order of exercises was as follows:
Reading of Post Order by Adju-
tant Eng fish.
Prayer by Rev. c. F. Partridge.
Singing by male quartette -
Messrs. Reed, Burbridge, Montague
and Chandler.
Reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address, by Judge 7. O. Seaver.
Music by the band.
The address of the day was then
delivered bv Hon. Kittredge Haskins
of Brattleboro. a veteran of the Civil
war whose eloquence all the old
soldiers were glad to hear. and he
was listened to attentively BY an
audience that filled the large hall.
The meaning of the memorial SER
vices was first touched upon by the
speaker; nearly every state has made
May goth holiday. Respect for
men who have died for their coun-
ty has Always existed. The bless
ings of peace are the soldiers best
monument. The country reunited,
what can now he said. We have
done away with sectionatism; we
are no longer in our infancy but
have arrived at manhood. God has
chosen us to extend our blessings to
other nations; the United States is
the guardian Of the Western Hemis.

FOR SUPERINTENDENT.

An unusual hustle at and around head
quarters last evening indicated that the
contest for State superintendent OF educa-
ton had passed the long range stage and
developed into close order and close range
fighting. The latter word is used only
in tigurative sense, as the best of good
personal feeling exists between the candi-
dates and only good feeling will remain.
Candidate Ranger arrived last evening,
accompanied by numerous warm adherents,
aud found Mr.. Temple already on the
ground and actively pushing his candidacy.
Mr.. Varney OF Burlington, the third candi-
didate-if he can be considered candidate
was not present, and his prospects are
not sufficiently promising TO be taken into
consideration. The contest may be said to
lie entirely between Messrs. Ranger and
Temple A somewhat careful canvass of
the situation convinces the DAILY JOURNAL
that Mr.. Ranger has very long and PROB
ably decisive lead in the preferences of
those who will decide the question. Mr.
Temple is man OF affairs and admitted
ability, all of which would be much more
fully recognized were he candidate for
an Office more within his especial lines OF
fitness Mr.. Ranger has the large advan-
experience in the practical work OF teach
ing, all OF which Mr.. Temple lacks. This
facty properly determines the preferences
OF many, and will very probably lead to
Mr.. Rangers promotion to the position to
which he 20 properly aspires. 1t may be said
that Mr.. Miller OF Burlington, who repre-
sents Mr.. Varney's town, Is a warm sup
porter OF Mr.. Rangers candidacy.

Sir Herbert Maxwell seems to oc-
cupy unique place in parliament.
Probably he is the only member OF
the house of commons who can claim
TO be descended from an ancestor Of
precisely the same name as himself
who sat in parliament over 900 years
ego. His forebear, Sir Herbert Max
well, of Carlaverock, sat in the parlia-
ment of Scone, 12s3-s4, and agreed to
accept Margaret of Norway as his
sovereign in the event of the death
of Alexander III, and he was also a
member of the parliament of 12S9-9O.

which time quite number OF those present
discussed the various aspects OF the subject
The tyranny aud injustice OF prohibition in
all its workings was thoroughly and ener-
getically ventilated and the opinion was
evidently unanimous that local option law

pare and submit bill providing for local op-

be done, which is confidently expected,
then It's passage IL considered assured The
friends Of the measure have no fear OF an

Several prominent east side Republican
members nave been canvassed as auspic-
ious parties to introduce the measure when
ready, among them being Mr.. Houghton OF
Putney, who will quite possibly be select
ee for the purpose. He il one Of the solid
men OF the House, and would give the
measure standing in that body.

Mistake

1t is well-known fact that Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? is it not
better TO depend upon medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best This is not a
mere assertion, but is q positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take medicine that you hHo7O is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham

The Senate is sometimes called the upper

regarded as promotion for one who has
served in the House to be elected to the
Senate. Whether or not the latter ia the
higher body, certainly different quali6ca-

achieved distinction as member OF the
