The British government admits that
the Boer war is costing $6,25O,OOO a
week-almost $1,O0O,O0O a day. TAX
ing into account the difference between
the parity of gold and our deprecated
currency during the war for the Union,
this is as much, or nearly as much,
as that war cost our government when
the conflict was at it's highest point.
The worst of it is that Englands war
is a war which never ought to have
begun.

The interesting story of the old war
ship Vermont is told in an article pub
lished elsewhere in this paper. Since
this article was written, it is announc-
ed that the government has decided to
send the old ship to the junkshop, and
to substitute in its place as a receiv-
ing ship the s3,OOO,OOO cruiser Column
bia which has not proved a success in
the service for which she was built
A strong protest is being made against
the destruction of the Vermont, and
an effort will be made to have her pre-
served as a notable type in the devel-
opment of our navy. 1t is suggested
that she be turned into a naval mu-
scum for the reception of naval relics
of all kinds.

Western papers express the belief
that, on account of relief furnished
by the recent rains, there will be an
average corn crop after all. The
course of the grain market, however,
does not indicate such belief on the
part of the dealers. Cash corn has
been as high as SO cents at Chicago,
within the week, which is only one-half
cent under the highest price in August,
1894, when the hot winds were disas-
trous to the crop. Oats have also
been on the rise, but wheat is slightly
lower on account of the favorable
prospect in the spring wheat regions.

wlnona Copying NorthfeId.

More and more closely Winona is
copying Northfield. Now it annaunces
preparatory school for boys, to be
operated in the winter months in the
buildings used during the summer for
the Bible conferences. Other Winona
features, including a Hillside instead
of a Round Top, and Young People
conferences conducted by John Willis
Baer of the Christian Endeavor, COM
plete the likeness to Northfield. The
Winona conference this year begins
on Aug. IT, and in some respects the
array of names outclasses Northield,
barring Rev. G. Campbell Morgan. A
new Middle West centre is rapidly
developing at Winona. - [Boston

A Good Suggestion.
[From the St. Albans Messenger. ]

[From the st. Albans Messenger
If the old frigate Vermont now used
as a receiving ship is condemned by
the navy department and is to be de-
stroyed, then the state should come in
for recognition by bestowing her name
upon one of the new battleships. Yer.
mont has contributed a great deal of
glory to the United States navy for
an inland state, and a new and mighty
battleship Vermont should be a flag
ship-for Rear Admiral Charles e.
Clark.

A recent joint meeting of the directors
of the Keene, NARROW and Newport cleo
trio railway and of the Ashuelot Valley
improvement association completed ar
rangements for a survey of the road.
The directors of the railway entered into
a contract with the directors of the Ash
uelot Valley improvement association to
have the work done by competent engi-
neers, and II is expected that the survey
will be begun within 80 days and promptly
pushed to completion.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1901.

Lawton seems a misnomer for this
new town of 10000 population which
"sprang up in a night" in the section
of Oklahoma opened to settlement last
week. The name naturally expected
would be Lawson.

The Old Time Doctor.

"When was young fellow" said
the man who notices things, "the fam
lily physician attended to all the Ills OF
the family, and the specialists of the
profession were wholly unknown. The
country doctor was surgeon as we'll
as a physician. He was almost always
clever and usually had remedies of his
own invention for common ailments. A

medicines now before the public are

"Old DR.. Hill, who was the leader In
the town l grew up in, was called into
the country by an urgent message one
night. He wasn't advised what the
patient was suffering from and upon
arrival found it was an liberated tooth
that was subjecting its owner to al
most unbearable pain. Not surgical
instrument did the doctor have with
him, and his office was seven miles
away. Did he send back for his in
struments? Not much! He extracted
that tooth with an ordinary hammer
and nail to the complete satisfaction Of
his patient and himself. I'll wager he
made a mighty good Job Of 1t too."-

An Old Time English Election.

The only contest which occurred at
Cation within historic memory was
curious enough. Sir Mark Wood, who
had been one of it's members for sever
al years, had as his colleague in the
parliament of 1912 Sir William Con-
grove, the inventor of the famous "Con-
grove rocket" The latter resigned in
1916, and the baronet wished his own
son to fill the vacancy.
There were only three voters In the
constituency, Sir Mark, his son and his
butler, named Jennings, but as the son
was away and the butler had quarreled
with his master an opportunity was at
forded for a singular revenge. Jen-
nings refused to second Sir Marks
nomination Of his son and proposed
himself. and deadlock was averted
only by Sir Mark coming to terms with
the refractory butler. whose nominal
ton he seconded in order to induce him
to act as seconder to his son.
Matters being thus put formally in
train, Sir Mark arranged with Jen-
nlngs that the formers vote should be
alone given, and the final state of the
poll at Cations only known contest
stood thus: Wood CTory), l; Jennings
(Whig). O.-Westminster Gazette.
