endorsements, for local citizens are giving their
testimony, and tbs an easy matter for any reader
to investigate the correctness Of such evidence
as the following.
Mr. VI. W. Bingham, OF No. = Pleasant street,
Esteyville, says II saw Doau's Kidney Pills
advertisement and got box at a drug store.
That helped me great deal and felt better in
every way than have for a long time My kid
neys troubled me for years with a sharp pain in
the small OF my back. It was more severe in the
morning for hour or two until l had moved
about considerably. Sometimes it would last all
through the day and perhaps for several days in
secession. The pains were quick dartin., and
were very severe. The secretions from the kid
neys we're scant and at times distressing. am
poor hand to take medicine and it did not seem
as II could take the pills regularly, but when
ever felt the PAIN particularly severe took a

Ii Was Passed by the senate 80 TO 81,
senator Proctor Being One OF the Six
Dissenting Republicans.
The Senate, by vote Of 40 to 81, passed
Tuesday afternoon the Foraker bill in just
the form the Porto Rico committeeAiesired.
There was no difference in the vote as re-
corded from that which had been predict
ed, except that Teller of Colorado; who
has been counted in favorbf the bill, voted
against it because he disapproved of some
of the features of the civil government
section. The Republicans who voted
against the bill were Davis, Mason, Mel
son, Proctor, Simon and Wellington. Sem
stOr Hoar was absent, but paired against
the bill Beverage was paired for it, al
though he was also paired for the free
trade amendments proposed by Davis and
Nelson. The bill provides a tariff of Is
per cent Of the Dingley rates; articles
from United States free; exception, five
cents on coffee; all articles free when Por-
to RicO shall have established adequate To-
cal taxation; no duties collectible under
this law after March l, 1902.
All duties and taxes collected by virtue
of the act are to be held as a separate fund
for Porto Rico and disbursed for its bene-
fit under the direction Of the President,
and all unexpended balances, when the act
ceases to be operative, are to be turned
into the Porto Rican treasury for the bene-
fit Of the island.

Banquet.
Chancellor Rowell has rendered decs-
ion in the case Of the state against L. A
Woodbury., proprietor, and Herbert Z.
Woodbury. and II. y. Clark, managers of
the Van Ness House at Burlington, deny
ing the temporary motion of the states
attorney Of Chittenden county that a tenn
porary injunction be issued against the
Van Ness House. The occasion Of the APP
plication for an Injunction was the annual
banquet of the Vermont Fish and Game
league, al which 4 pint Of BASIS ale was
served at each plate. The chancellor holds
that the liquors owned by the club could
be legally distributed TO its members. Per
sons not members OF the club received liq-
uOrs. This was not legal, but as the pro
prietor of the hotel did not know OF this
be cannot be held liable.
Ia the course OF the chaucellor's discus
sion as 10 what a club can legally DO with
its own intoxicating liquors be quotes an
authority as saying "But if on the other
hand the club is organized in good faith
with a limited and selected membership
really owning property composed and
formed for social, literary or other pur-
poses, to which the furnishing of liquor to
its members would be merely incidental in
the same way and in the same extent that
the supplying of dinners or daily newspa-
pers might be, then it cannot be consider
ed as within either the purpose or the let
ter of the law" The chancellor seems to
accept this as sound law. He also assumes
that the Fish and Game league is bona
tide association and not device to evade
the law

Comes the spring with all its snoWbanks,
All its colds and influenza,
All its doctors bills and coal bills,
All its slippery, slushy sidewalks;
All its wind and rain and sunshine,
All ITS maple sugar weather.
All its hopes and ASPIRATIONS,
Comes today the pleasant springtime.
Let her come, she can't b. Worser
Than the beastiy winter weather
We've been having all this month back.
Let her come and get her work in:
Melt the snowdrifts, food the cutters,
Swell the buds and bring the birds, too;

Crocus vernus, iridaceous;
And the hyaointh so fragrant.
Sprung from blood Of Hyacinthus;
Start the dandeion yellow,
