Post the Warnings Jan. 3.

A circular letter from the secretary of
state asks us TO call special attention TO
the following points TO: constables and
election officers to observe:
First. Check lists must be posted
thirty days before the first Tuesday in
February, 1903, or Jan. 3, 1908.
Second, Constab!es must warn the
meeting in towns, and the usual election
officers in cities.
Third. The method of voting is the
same as at Freemen's Meeting.
Let no election officer fail in his duty.
1t may cause the vote of his town on
the referendum to be thrown out. Ii
may change the result in the whole state.

FIRST TRAIN BY WIRE.
\ Former ,Middlebury Man Gives the Rut-
land the Credit of Being the First to
Dispatch Trains by Wire.

Former, Middlebury Man Gives the Rut-
land the Credit of Being the First to
Dispatch Trains by Wire.
1t may not be generally known that
the Rutland railroad has the distinction
of being the first road to dispatch trains
by wire but such is the case, according
to the statement of Albert II. Copeland
of Chenoa, Ill. The road was at the
time known as the Rutland and Buring
ton railroad, says an exchange.
In explanation of the origin of the
telegraph dispatch system Mr. Copeland,
who is now - years old, says:
81 was assistant postmaster at Middle
bury, in 1852. y year before that had
learned biography. The telegraph Office
was in the postofiice, and combined the
duties of postmaster and operator. Our
only railroad was the Rutland and Bur-
! lington.
AT that time there was nothing like
train orders. The trains were run by
schedule, and had meeting points where
pne train had to stand until the other
arrived. On the Rutland and Burling-
ton the NOrth-bound train had the right
of-way, and Brandon, a station halfway
between Mddlebury and Rutland, was
the meeting point. The south bound
train was at Mddlebury, ready 70 60 to
Brandon, when heard over the wires
that the nOrth-bound train was stalled
on the mountains near Rutland. / went
l., ,I,, 81, ea1l . h., hat
he would probably have to hang up at
Brandon for several hours. OF course
he was considerably put out at the delay,
when suggested that if could get the
operator at Brandon the trains would be
moved.
The operator at Brandon had gone
home, so rode on the south bound train
to that station, opened the office and,
after considerable work, | got the con-
ductor who would take charge of the
north bound train at Rutland-the trains
changed conductors at that point. told
him that the train was stalled in the
snow on the mountains and suggested
that he keep the train there when it
dIIlNtu uhNll Tue SouLI-UOuuu lIdlU
reached Rutland.
: Then through the series of mes sages
between the two conductors and myself
= got the trains over the road without
any delay, when, If they had been run
. according to the time tables, they would
: have been behind several hours. 1t was
not long after that until the road was
? moving its trains by wires, and from
r that humble beginning has come the
elaborate system of train dispatching
now in use"

factory.
1t is seldom that druggist has enough
faith in the medicines he sells, even
when prepared by himself, to be willing
TO guarantee to refund the money If 1t
docs not cure; but Hyomei has cured so
many cases of catarrh among the Gus
\tomers of DR.. Bisbee that he offers to
refund the money to all who use it and
Report that they are not satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most con-
senient remedy for catarrh ever offered
20 the public. Breathed through an
inhaler so small that it can be carried in
the vest pocket, for a few minutes four
times day, it will absolutely kill all the
germs of catarrh and cure the disease.
Catarrh cannot exist where Hyomei is
used. 1t has a two fold action, killing
all the germs in the air passages and
lungs and soothing and healing the irri-
tated mucous membrane.
Some of the most prominent men and
women in the country have gladly given
testimonials to Hyomei. After seeking
relief in vain for years, this wonderful
remedy has cured them of catarrh and
it is no wonder that they want Others to
! know about it.
Rev. DR.. Stryker Of the 34th Street
Reformed Church of New York city,
writes: "Hyomei gives wonderful relief
In catarrh when other remedies have
failed. 1t has been of great service to
me-
If you have catarrh accept DR.. Bisbee's
proposition and use Iyomei.

LAST or FINNISH DRAGONS.

Russian War -ORcs Make an End Of Z
ramoa Regiment
The disbandment by the Russian
war once of the only Finnish regi-
ment Of dragons. already reported by
cable. Is likely to have a sequel. II
will be remembered. perhaps. that the
commander of the regiment, Col.
Schaumann, when directed BY Gen.
Bobrikon. the governor Of Fiuiand, to
administer the Russian oath to the
soldiers. refused to do 20. on the
ground that it had not been sanctioned
by the Finnish aiet. az was required
by the constitution Of the country.
Gen. Bobrikon was so enraged by this
reply that he forgot his good manners,
and expressed himself In such violent
terms that Col. Schaumann then and
there resigned from the service. Gen.
BobrikoR then asked for his dismissal
and transfer to a cavalry regiment of
the reserve Upon this all the other
ofhcers resigned in a body, and this
action was regarded in st. Petersburg
as an act of deliberate mutiny, as It
undoubtedly was, whatever the provo
cation. The disbandment Of the regi-
ment itself followed; but the end is
not ret, for 1t Is said that all the Of
Tending of1cers will have to answer
before q military tribunal. Whatever
the result may be. It is safe to predict
