"Dr. l.. A. Russlow,
Randolph, VT.
my Dear Sir:-1n reply to your
letter of the 18th inst, | am per-
fectly willing to state to you
frankly my position in respect to
the prohibitory law. | am and
always have been in favor of it,
and have always so voted when
in the legislature | believe that
it is better suited to promote the
welfare and sobriety Of our state
than any scheme of license.

Heroes are not always admirable.
Here is Patrolman Bickford, who
saved four lives by his courage at
the Fleet street fire in Boston last
January, dismissed from the police
force after being convicted by his
superiors on the charge of black
mailing women on the streets under
threats of arrest.

Fletcher Proctor's letter on he tenn
perance question is plain, outspoken,
unequivocal. You have no doubt what
he means. Its quality of up-and-down-

accept Gen. McCulloughs letter as
equally typical of its writer's individ-
uality and characteristics?

North Bennington, VT,
April 81, 1902.
DR.. l.. A. Russlow,
Randolph, VT.
Dear Sir: | am in receipt of
your late favor, and in answer
thereto will say, as | have said to
others
That prohibition has been the
policy of Vermont for half a CEN
tury and probably will continue to
be, as in my opinion, it has the
approval of the majority of the
people of the state. Changes,
however, in the statute, of more
or less significance, have been
made or proposed from time to
time. AS in the past, so in the
future, the voters in the several
towns have been and will be in
the habit of discussing this and
other issues in their local can
vases, and the result cannot fail
to be reflected in the complexion
of the representatives chosen to
the general assembly. Should
these representatives, fresh from
the peoples hands, adopt any con-
stitutional measure strengthening
or modifying the statute in any
regard, were placed in a position
where | should be called on to act
| should approve the measure.
The same majority under one con-
stitution, that enacts a bill can re-
pass it if it be disapproved by the
Executive. | am.
Your truly.

"the wee sma' hours" warned the
dancers that fleeting time had
put n period upon their enjoy
ment. the floor was a kaleidos-
copic scene of pleasure. At II

were served, and the dancers
whirled with renewed joyousness
to the melting strains of Prof.
Boyer's orchestra, the dancing
lasting until B n. N. The Turn
Verein added new laurels to its
social crown, and the guests say
they had one of the happiest
times in their history.

1.-THE Busy Ten"

A new social organization came
into existence in San Angelo last
week, the first evidence of the in
curnation being invitations to a
number of young gentlemen TO
attend n gathering at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Forester,
in the Post, Thursday night.
These invitations were signed by
1.-The Busy Ten" and the title
was well taken, for those who at
tended report that they had the
"busiet and best time of the year. 3"
"The Busy Ten" had provided
ample work to keep the young
gentlemen busy as we'll, in the
form of a number of large aprons
which were seriously in need of
hemming. The boys threaded
their needles and pitched in, with
what result may be better
imagined than described. Prizes
had been offered, and the first
was won by Dan league. Robert
Austin captured the second and
J. Inge Walker fell heir to the
"booby." After this feature had
been disposed of refreshments
consisting of ice cream, cake and
fruits were served, and the re-
mainder of evening was pleasantly
passed in conversation and games.

DESIGNATED DEPOSITORY.
First National Bank OF San Angelo
Awarded this Rare Distinc-
ton by the Government.

To I've a designated depository
for United States Government
funds is a coveted distinction in
banking circles, for reasons that
are easily apparent. The banks
of the United States that are such
are few in number, and cities of
the size of San Angelo containing
repositories of that class are rare
indeed. The distinction referred
to is, therefore, one on which not
orly the First National Bank of
San Angelo is to be congratulate
ed, but the city of San Angelo,
and, in fact, this entire section of
the state, as we'll, for there is not
another designated desository for
government funds within radius
of many miles of San Angelo.
The First National Bank. of San
Angelo, will carry $4,000 in de-
posts as the local fiscal strong
box of the government of the
United States of America, and the
checks of your Uncle Samuel
drawn on that bank will be cur
rent, par funds, subject to no dis
count, rebate or exchange--''good
as gold" to anybody, anywhere
on the globe.

Edward Dickinson to Bscense oss-
eral Manager of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient Nov. I.


Edward Dickinson, since 1898
general manager Of the Union
Pacific railroad system, has re-
signed and on November 1 will
become general manager of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
railway. The position was ten
dered to Mr.. Dickinson some time
ago and the announcement that
he had accepted it was made to-
day by A. E. Stilwell, president
of the Orient line. Mr.. Dickin-
son will come at once from Oma-
ha to Kansas City with his family.
Mr.. Dickinson is recognized as
a thorough railroad man of unu-
sual ability and his connection
with the Orient line will be a
great advantage to that enter
prise. Mr.. Dickinson's advice
and experience will be valuable
while the road is building and af-
terward he will have complete
charge of its operation. Presi-
dent Stilwell will continue to look
after the Orient lines financial
affairs.
The position of general mana
ger of the Orient line was not ac-
cepted by Mr.. Dickinson until
after he had satisfied himself of
Mr.. Stilwell's ability to build the
road and of the necessity for q
new scont mental line
in the territory through which
the road is projected. That he
retired from the position of gen.
eral manager of big system like
the Union Pacific to go to the
Orient line is proof that he has
confidence in the future of the
Orient line.
The railroad career of the
Orient lines new general mana
ger begun in 1862, when he was
only II years old. Then as a
messenger boy with the Cleveland
q Toledo railroad. He went to
the Atlantic & Great Western
road as telegraph operator and
was successfully assistant train
dispatcher, baggage master and
express messenger with that line.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Dickinson
was train dispatcher on the I'M
ion Pacific railway. He was pro-
NOTED to the positions of division
superintendent, general superin-
tendent of Wyoming division, as
sistant general superintendent,
general superintendent in 1890,
general manager of the Missouri
division, assistant genera! mana
ger, and general manager of the
entire system in February, 1893.
The Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient railway is to be a direct
line, about / 800 miles in length
from Kansas City to Port Stilwell
on the Pacific coast of Old Next
CO. In connection with the roaC
a fleet of steamships is projected
for trade with the Orient
The road will be the shortest line
between Kansas City and the
Pacific ocean and the shortest
route to Honolulu, China, India
and the Philippines Six hun
bred miles of the Orient line have
been graded and 145 miles are il
operation in Mexico and forty
five in the United States. Tracl
laying is in progress in three
places and the steel rails are be
ing bought from Belgium by boa
around Cape Horn Construc
ton work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible, but has been re
tarded somewhat by the inabilit.
to secure steel rails as fast a
needed. The route of the Orien
line is through Southeastern Kan
sas, the heart of Oklahoma, West
