Some of the older residents remenper'

element in ST. Johnsbury in those carry
days. One citizen, now in his SD year,
who was born the same year with hras-
tus Fairbanks Snow, remembers distinctly
the Mormon baptism in the bend OF the
Moose river above East st. JohnSDury,
the excitement it caused and the crowds
, which gathered from miles around TO
witness the affair.
"Why,n said the narrator, they
wouldn't let them hold their meetings IN
any meeting house in town, so they had
to hold them in the barn on the Snow
place. There was a big crowd. The
Mormon elders sat along on the hgh
beams. They let the women folks IN

down in the bay. The other men and we

must deal with the blood. It must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimp1es, blotches,
boi1s and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofa1a Is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
:" am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DIR.
Joseph Fike, Of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. uTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size OF hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case. l felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so 1 went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is we'll to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children" .
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow.
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t is a radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease for while and give the skin

Verdict for Mcclure Guilty.

Friday the case of the United States
vs. NJ. A. Mcclure for aiding Cashier
Mussey in wrecking the Merchants Ma
tional bank of Rutland went to the jury
at 1870 o'clock after short and impair

He instructed the jury if satisfied with
the intent of the respondent to conspire
with Mussey, to find him guilty. If not
it must bring an opposite verdict The
case lay wholly with the intent
The Hon. Seneca Hazelton of Burling-
ton closed the case for the defense with
an ingenious argument. He was foi-
lowed by District Attorney Martin, who
made a strong plea covering the case
thoroughly. This was followed by the
judges charge.
The jury in the Mcclure case after be
ing out two hours and five minutes,
brought in a verdict of guilty.

Two Mormons in Vermont.

The other morning, two visitors en-
tered the Republican office, and, after
apologizing for disturbing the repose of
the editor, proceeded to make their bust
ness known.
They were strangers. They had never
been in ST. Johnsbury or in Vermont be-
fore. They had heard about cold winter
weather of the present Vermont variety,
but had never had the pleasant sensation
before. They did not particularly OBJ
ject to it so long as they had warm
room at the Avenue house in which to
spend the night They were after infor-
nation, and being strangers in town,
naturally looked up the newspaper Of
fees first of all.
They were cousins and their fathers
were natives of ST. Johnsbury, and they
wished to find out something about the
early history of their family. Their
name was Snow.
All this was brought out in pleasant
half hours conversation, after which the
visitors bowed their Acknowledgements
and departed, leaving their cards and
Mormon literature which they probably
considered amply sufficient to convert a
Vermont editor from the established
uOCUTlutS VI Ult OGllltI LAY W UuOSt Vi
the Latter Day Saints.
The cards read, elder William J.
Snow, Pine Valley, Utah. and elder
Edwin III. Snow, ST. George, Utah, !" and
we had been having a pleasant chat with
pair of real live Mormon Elders right
from the heart of the land of the Danites.
HISTORY OF THE SNOW FAMILY.
The Shows? They were prominent
family in town during the opening years
of the last century. They lived over
near the East Village in the neighbor-
hood known as Chesterfield" There
were four brothers, all of whom left ST.
Johnsbury at an early age, for western
New York, the tout west of those
| days, and later on went to Utah. Will
| liam Snow, the father of one of our visi-
| tors, was born in 1906 and was one of
the two first Mormon pioneers to enter
| the Salt Lake valley. He was one of
| Brigham Young's most trusted followers,
AN apostle in the church, always promi-
nent. in its work. Erastus Fairbanks
Snow, father of the other visitor was
| born in st. Johnsbury in 1918, and like
| his brother was pioneer churchman in
Utah. Still another brother also born
in st. Johnsbury, Zerubbabel Snow, was
appointed by President Fillmore one of
the first chief justices of Utah
1t will be remembered that Congress
man Lands of Indiana in his famous
speech in congress last year, during the
consideration of the Roberts case, in
speaking of Brigham Young's prominent
advisors, referred to the Shows as 1.-THE
most consistent Mormons in the whole
bunch

place of leaders in many paths of life.

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
in England couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be vtouched for the
evil.o The specific uevil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofu1a is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kingly touch, no ex-
terna1 treatment could cure scrofu1a.
The medicine which cures scrofu1a

lous poison from the blood and SO the
organs which are fed by blood are re-
lieved from the scrofuIous poisons which
destroy them. Obstinate, deep-seated
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and similar dangerous forms of disease
are perfectly and permanently cnred BY

The River Drives.

The International Paper company is
getting ready it's immense log piles fol
the spring drives. 1t has 100000
feet of spruce nearly ready for the White
River drive, 100000 feet on the Wild
Ammonoosuc in New Hampshire and
about 100000 feet from Piermont,
Lyme and Oxford in New Hampshire
which will be started on the Connecticut
river Over $50 men are at work in the
lumber camps in Pittsfield, Rochester,
Hancock and Granville getting the logs
ready. 1t is estimated that five or six
more years at the rate of cutting will eX-
haust the supply in this valley. The
company has stopped buying new lands
and will have to rely on the market
when its own lands are cut over. Some
years ago the company started in de-
sultory way some experiments III the
way of planting spruce seed but it was
done on so small scale as to amount to
little. 1t is now contemplated to carry
out the experiments in a somewhat diff
ferent manner, viz: by planting small
beds of spruce in different spots and
transplanting them when arrived at
proper age.
Charles Green, the division superin-
tendent, who has had charge of the buy
ing of the land for the company, is firm
believer in the future great value of wild
land and was much disappointed in the
decision of the company to buy no more
lands He has since interested a party
of New York capitalists in this idea and
a company has been organized under the
name of the Vermont Land company and
various tracts of land have already been
bought, in about all 11,600 acres, OF
which 2700 are in New Hampshire. The
price paid has varied from 25 cents
an acre in Duxbury to 81 an acre on Fays-
ton Mt. Nearly all of Fayston Mt. has
