The Wealth of the Futd,s.

lExtract from Speech at Pittsburg in 1s94l
 BY HON. THoMAs B. REED.
 Mighty as has been our past, our resources have just been touched upon, and there is wealth beyond the Missis- sippi which in the not distant future will astonish even the dwellers on the shores of Lake Michigan.
 "From the time my eyes first rested on the great uncultivated plains which lie between the Mississippi and the Pacific Ocean, my wakening dreams have been filled with visions of the incalculable wealth which the touch of living water will bring to life from those voiceIess deserts. There wealth only can produce wealth, and man. singly and alone, might as well try to subdue the Himalayas as to cope with these wastes; but the hand of united and associated man is already reaching forth to grasp the great results.
 "The same power which spends mil lions on the Mississippi can be utilized to make the desert blossom with the homes of men, for whom and for all o1 us the now blighted soil will bring forth the fruits of the Garden of Eden. ]

of pure wantonness which kicks in sea-
son and ont of season, at everything or
at nothing as the case may be. The
term kicker scarcely needs definition.
We know exactly what it means, as
we'll as we know the chronic Pathfinder
it designates.
THE RISE OF THE KICKER.
Any one who cares to trace the rise of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not be
dyspeptics, but ali dyspeptics are surely
kickers. They are everlasting fault
finders. Nothing goes right for them
in the family or in business. There is
always a dead fly in their ointment. It
is a miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself. His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains. He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate; and all these things are only
symptoms of the disease which is starv-
ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM?
What can be done for the victim of
dyspepsia?
He can be cured He can be given a
new start in life. He can be made the
amiable, companionable man he was of
old. He can once more eat with ap-
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound
dreanless slumber.
This is not mere empty claim I'M
supported by facts. The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands of men and
women, who have been entirely cured

A Vermonter on Cuba.

NOur distinguished Vermonter, Col. My
ron M.Parker of Washington, is just back
from Cuba.
Col Parker is the man who accom-
panied Senator Proctor on the memoir
able visit of three years ago. He now
tells a Boston papers correspondent that
on the trip to Havana he had Sir William
Van Horn for a fellow-passenger and
found him tremendously optimistic as to
the commercial possibilities of Cuba,
provided the island does not pass out of
American control.
In Havana Col Parker found all the
business men and men of property-Cu-
bans as we'll as Spaniards and Americans
eager for annexation. 1t is the hun
dred and one negro generals who are
shouting for independence, he reports,
and they represent only about per cent
of the property.
The constitutional convention did not
make favorable impression on Col.
Parker. The generals are in the ma
jority there. He says, rather disrespect-
fully, that most of them ''haven't done a
stroke of work since heaven knows
when" They are fierce for office, and
they are afraid of what may happen to
them at the hands of their sort of Cubans
if they accept the Platt program
ING judgment is, however" says Col.
Parker, that they are like men up tree
and will be very glad if some one will
give them ladder so that they can climb
down. They do not want any more fight

flFTY.SEVENTH CONFERENCE
Opens in LyndonviIle. April II.

The tifty-seventh annual session of the
Vermont Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be held in Lyndon
vile, beginning April II.
Bishop Earl Cranston, formerly of Col
orado, but whose official residence is now
Portland, Oregon, will preside. This
will be his first official visit to the Ver-
mont conference. The Vermont confer
ence is composed of the Methodist min
iStry within the state of Vermont, ex-
cepting strip on the extreme western
side, which comprises the Burlington
district of the Troy conference.
The Vermont conference is divided in
to three districts: The st. Johnsbury,
the Montpelier and the St. Adams. In
charge of these three districts are the
three presiding elders, Rev. j. O. Sher-
bume, Rev. w. R. Davenport and Rev.
c. S. Nutter, d. d. There are about 1OS
full members of the conference and IA
probationers. 1t is not probable that all
of these will be present at the confer
ence. Several of the members will not
be able to attend because of advanced
age, and others will be necessarily alb
sent, though every member is expected
to be present at each session of the con-
ference, unless excused by the confer
ence.
There are, in addition to the above, 20
or more local preachers, not members of
the conference, but who are supplying
regular charges. These, with the wives
and families of the preachers who may
choose to attend, will make about 1875
persons for the LyndOnville people to en-
terrain. sASse
The conference meets with the church
which invites it to told it's annual session
| with them, and its entertained gratui-
tously by that church, usually assisted
by the churches of other denominations
in the place where the conference is
held.
All regularly ordained Methodist
preachers have to take a four years
course of study, which is prescribed by
the Board of Bishops The examina-
ton is conducted in writing by the board
| of examiners which is appointed for four
years by the bishops. These examiners,
and the men who are passing in the
studies, convene at the place of confer
| ence at A. M, on the day preceding the
conference.
The conference is in no sense legisla.
| tive body. The law making is vested il
a delegated body from all over the world
which meets once in four years. The
annual conference comes together to re
ceive reports of the condition of the work
on the several charges, the amount o
benevolent money collected, and sucl
business as may be related to it's own 10
| cal work. The character of each preach
ef is examined and there must be report
ed nothing against him. each year be
fore he can receive an appointment.
The conference will open at A. NJ.
Wednesday, April II, with the admins
tration of the Lords Supper, to be fol
lowed by business session, and thu
morning sessions will be given to bust
ness matters, and the introduction of Wis
lting clergymen. Afternoons and even
ings will be given to the anniversaries.

Our Share of the Crust.

1t comes as something of a shock 20
realize that Massachusetts is smaller
than Vermont. One always has a hazy,
general impression that the Bay state is
three or four times as big as We are, SUI
perfcially. But it isn't so. Vermont
has according to just published census
bulletin) 9,565 square miles, whereas
Massachusetts has but 1925. And there
are five other states of the Union smaller
than Vermont-New Hampshire (260
square miles Smaller-though if it were
spread out fiat it would doubtless be
much bigger than Vermont, Connecticut
Rhode Island Delaware and New Jersey.
But we all make terribly poor figure
when we compare ourselves with Texas.
Texas, may it please your royal highness,
has POS, $50 square miles, and is thus 2S
times as big as Vermont, and makes just
about one-fourteenth of the whole Unit
ed States. If it were as thickly settled
as Vermont it would have population
of about nine million, whereas, as a mat
ter of fact, it has but 100000, so that
the Texans have plenty of elbow room.
Next to Texas in size comes California
with 1853, $50 square miles and then fol
low Montana 146,6SO, Nevada 10000
and Colorado 103, 925-which are all tae
states having hundred thousand square
miles of area or more.
Alaska knocks em all silly with 500,
1874 square miles, and, at the other ex
IRENE, the reader experiences delicate
surprise to learn that Hawaii, over which
so much fuss has been made, is a gooC
deal smaller than Vermont, having but
6, 449 square miles.

ties show these measurements: Addison

Disease not Typhus Fever.

Six people have died as a result of the
epidemic in West Windsor None are i'll
now, but nurses and others in the houses
where the disease appeared are under
quarantine. The disease was not appar-
emily typhus fever, but poisoning of a
nature not fully determined. Drs.
Charles S. Caverly of Rutland, II. D.
Holton of BrattlebOro and T. r. Stiles of
st. Johnsbury, comprising the state
board of health, have sent to DR.. J. D.
Brewster, the health officer at Windsor,
the following statement based upon the
investigation made by Dr. Caverly:
After careful consideration of all the
facts obtainable in regard to the recent
fatal outbreak of diseases in an outlying
district of your town, we are of the
opinion that these were cases of severe
Septicaemia in which the poison various
ly affected the internal organs. The dis
ease was highly infectious and probably
contagious. We cannot find that the
septic phenomena in these cases coincid-
ed with those of any recognized infec-
ton or eruptive fever; nor can we dis
cover that there is any ground for think
ing these cases were traceable directly or
indirectly to any other cases of infec-
tlous disease. We must, therefore, con
clude that local conditions were some
what at least responsible for this out
break and that all those who have either
been subjected to the original poison or
have acquired it by contact with the
sick.
What the local conditions were that
caused or contributed to the outbreak
we cannot state. The water supply, the
conditions about or in the house where
the disease originated may have had a
bearing on them. The same rules should
govern the management of this outbreak
as would obtain in an outbreak of any
recognized infectious disease. The cases
and those exposed should be strictly quar-
antined and disinfection and thorough
cleansing follow recovery or death The
water supply should be Investigated and
the premises thoroughly cleaned up.
The bodies of those dead should be
buried privately and as speedily as pos
Sible.

Big Lumber Deal.

A deal in timber land such as Vermont
has not known for many years was con
summated at Bennington Thursday, when
the Battenkill Lumber company bought
a tract of land situated in the towns of
Manchester, Sunderland, Winhall STRAIT
ton and Dorset, in Bennington county,
containing about 10000 acres heavily
timbered with spruce. 1t is one of the
largest tracts of timbered land in Yer
mont and the sale is one that has been
pending for some time. The price is
withheld.
The Battenkill Lumber company is in
corporated under the laws of New
Hampshire and the general manager
is F. II. Wright of Auburndale,
Mass. Several carloads Of horses, camp
equipments and supplies have already
been bought by the company and are be
ing shipped to Manchester Depot to be
taken to the woods. A portable mill
will be located on the tract before the
snow meltS and Sluiceway will be CON
structed from the top of the mountain.
This sluiceway will be about four miles
long and will be built after the latest
plans and in the most substantial fashion
Between $1,000 and $4,000 cords are to
be taken out this year.
The entire product has been sold to
the International Paper company and
they will receive the wood from the Bat
tenkill company at point below Man
chester Depot. All the timber will be
made into pulp stock. The tract is very
heavily timbered and it is estimated that
! there are portions where from 80 to 40
cords can be cut to the acre.
The land is plateau situated about
! 100 feet above the valley and in it are
three lakes or ponds, while there are nu-
merous streams flowing into the Connect
icut on the east side and into the Hudson
on the west. The lakes and rivers
abound with trout and small game is
/ plentiful in the woods. As soon the land
is cleared those interested in the com
pany are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of
turning the entire tract into park, and
its natural advantages are such that il
would make most beautiful as well a;
convenient preserve for both fish and
game.

word proves that there was a real need
for it that certain class Of people had
no word IN the English language to

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
Strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in a delicate mild wine,

Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it i'm
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in it's favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
