Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1901-01-03

Just word personal at this, the be-
ginning of another year. We have
continued our efforts of the past six
years toward giving the people of this
section local newspaper that should
answer their requirements and keep
abreast of the times. During the past
twelve months, the local news of our
field has been cultivated and develop
ed as never before, and due attention
has been paid to the more important
affairs of the state and the leading
events of the world at large. Our col
umn Of general news on the first page.
under the caption, whats Going On. y
has, we are pleased to find, been re-
ceived with favor. 1t is intended to
cover, in the shortest possible way, the
few really important happenings of the
world up to the time of going to press.
The policy of sub-heading and dating
each page of the paper, too, is consid-
cred an improvement. That our
papers have generally fulfilled their
mission is best indicated by their in
crease in circulation. which has
amounted TO nearly 400 during the
past year. The actual average circu-
lation OF the several papers for 1900
was exactly 4oO6 copies weekly. We
are now issuing over 1000 copies each
week. All subscribers are at regular
rates and the list is wholly paid in adj
vance-a condition that is appreciated
by the patron no less than by the pub
Usher. While measuTably contented,
we are byno means satisfied, and shall
aim constantly to make our papers

The Case Decided.

Judge Jacob Trieber, of the Unit
 sd States circuit court, decided the celebrated case of the Kansas City Southren Railway Company vs. The Arkansas Railroad Commission, |the issue being upon the authority of the commission to regulate rates under conditions where it was not clear whether interstate or intrastate commerce was involved. The rail- road commission held that goods consigned from points in Arkansas to points in Arkansas, though in order to reach the point tc which the freight was to be de- hyered the haul had to be made over a. portion of the road travers- ing other than Arkansas territory, was subject to the tariff of the com mission. The court ruled in favor of the railroad-company and held :: 'sIn the case at bar the railroad does not traverse state other than the state of Arkansas, but d territory lwith no legislative powers, these powers having been reserved by con- gress to itself. This cannot in any way affect the determination of the issues involved. as it is a jurisdic- ton separate and distinct from the state of Arkansas and it can no more be invaded by that state than if it were sovereign state. Con gress alone has the power to regu- late the internal affairs of the h. dian Territory, prescribe regulations for railroads therein, limit their charges for the transportation of freight and passengers and exercise the powers which in a state belong to the people of that state. The right-of-way through the Indian Territory now enjoyed by complain ant was derived from congress, which granted it to complainant's predecessor. In the act granting the right of way, congress exercised the power to regulate and limit the rates of transportation over the soil of the territory .~The Indian Ter ritory must, therefore, for the pur- pose of this suit, be treated as if it were state possessing allthe pow CTS and attributes of any of the states comprising the Union.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE.
The Danger in That Common Dis
ease, Catarrh.

ease, S8l4BEA
Because catarrhal diseases are 50 com
mon and because catarrh is not rapidly
fatal. people too often overlook and neg
lect it until some incurable ailment de-
velops as a result of the neglect.
The in1amed condition of the mem
braue of the nose and throat makes
fertile soil for the germs of Pneumonia
and Consumption; in fact catarrhal pneu-
monIa and catarrhal consumption are the
most common forms Of these dreaded dis
eases which annually cause more than one
quarter OF the deaths in this country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as nu-
meTous as catarrh sufferers, but very few
have any actual merit as a cure, the only
good derived being simply a temporary
relief
There is. however. a very effective re-
meiy recently discovered which is rapidly
becoming famous for its great value IN
relieving and permanently curing all
forms of catarrhal diseases, whether 10
Gated in the head, throat, lungs or ston-
ach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed Of a gum derived from the Eu-
calyptus tree, and This gum possesses ex-
traordinary healing and antiseptic proper
ties Il is taken internally in the form
Of a lozenge or tablet, pleasant to the
taste and so harmless that little children
take them with safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are some
times used but are rot SO convenient nor
so palatable IS the gum
Undoubtedly the best quality is found Ia
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which may be
found in any drug store, and any catarrh
sufferer who has tried douches inhaleTs
and liquid medicines Will be surprised at
the rapid Improvement after few days
use of Stuart's CataTrh Tablets, which are
composed of the gum of the Eucalyptus
tree, combined with other antiseptics
which destroy the germs of catarrh in the
blood and eXpeI the catarrhal poison
from the system
Dr. RamsdeIl in speaking of CatarFh and
its cure. says After many experiments l
have given up the idea of curing catarrh
by the use Of inhalers, washes salves Or
liquid medicines I have always had the
best results from Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets; the red gum and other valuable an
IiseDticS contained in these tablets make
tEem, IL my opinion far suparior TO any
Of the numerous catarrh remedies so ex-
fensiyely advertised. The fact that

MISS TOPPAN'S POSITION.
Case Gfren SERIOUS Aspect by the
Indictments.

Case GiTen serious Aspect by the
Indictments.
BARNsTABLE. Mass, Dec. The in
dtctments returned by the Barnstabie
county grand jury against Miss Jane Top
pan yesterday afternoon put more Sc
Tious aspect on the case. Instead of an
swering 20 the charge Of numbering Mrs.
Mary E. Gibbs. she must now stand trial
for triple crime, for the indictments
find that. in the opinion of the grand jury,
she not only caused the death Of Mrs.
Gibbs. but also the deaths OF Mrs Gordon,
of Chicago. a sister of Mrs. Gibbs, and
Alvin Davis. father OF the dead woman.
The State presented evidence showing
that morphine and atrophine were admin
istered TO these three persons. and It is
now for the defence TO explain away OF
refute the findings
The case promises to be more sensa-
tionaI than any criminal trial IL the his
tory Of the State.
II is alleged that Mrs. Gordon, who was
visiting in Calumet from her home in
Chicago, was given poison on July so,
1901. and died July 81. IN the case Of
Mr.. Davis the State claims that the death
potion was given August S, and that the
man died August 9. while in the case of
Mrs Gibbs It IS claimed that the poison
was given August u. She died August 10.
1t is likely the case will be brought be-
fore a special session of the Superior
Court in April
