THE ODD PENNIES.

For the sake of saving odd
pennies do not buy an inferior
emulsion of cod-liver oil when
you really need SCOTS Emul-
sion.
SCOTS Emulsion costs more
to buy because it costs more
to make.
The difference in price is
pennies. The difference in
results is pounds-pounds of
lesh-and days of new
strength and comfort.
The consumptive and others
who have lost flesh get more
cod-liver oil into their systems
by means of SCOTS Emulsion
than in any other way.

ANOTHER COW DISEASE.

Hon. G. j. Bell of Walden. member
of the State board of cattle commits
sioners and DR.. f. A. Rich, veterin-
airy surgeon of Burlington, were in
Middlebury Tuesday, to make investi.
cations rs to the supposed origin Of
the foot and mouth, " disease which
has appeared among Rhode Island
cattle to considerable extent. Mr.
Bell received telegram from the
secretary of agriculture stating that
the appearance of the disease has been
traced to Addison county. The Sec
rotary requested Mr.. Bell as a men,
Der of the State cattle commission to
investigate the matter.
Mr.. Bell had previously had no in
timatiou that the foot and mouth dis
ease had appeared i'll Vermont and be-
lieves that it has not spread to any
great extent. He said that he was
not familiar with the disease, simply
knowing that it was of especial im-
portance because of its extremely con-
tagious character and because of its
effects. The drinking of the I'M
cooked milk of an affected COW brings
on a sore mouth to human beings.
Mr.. Bell found that the dealer who
was suspected of shipping the alleged
diseased cattle was out Ct town and
would return III "a day or two so moth
ing was done. 1t is probable that Mr.
Bell or Mr. Hitchcock of Pittsford,
another member of the commission
will return to Middlebury on Friday
with Dr. Rich to make further in
vestigations.

H. B. JOHNSON DEAD.

H. B. johnson, who came to this
city from the Soldier and Sailors
Home at Bath, N. Y, about four
months ago, died Wednesday at
the home of MIR. Morse at Wrights-
vile. Mr.. johnson had previously
suffered paralytic shock which affect
ed his throat and interfered seriously
with his speech. Since coming here
he has lived a portion of the time at
Madame Nicholas and at Mr. Selinas
on the West Berlin road, later moving
to Mr.. Morses He claimed to have been
al officer on the Union side in the
Rebellion. Later he was employed in
the treasury department at Washing
ton and edited a paper in that city.
A portion of his life was spent in
New York city and he has son and
two sisters residing there. A few
days ago he was again stricken with
paralysis which this time affected his
left side, and when it became evident
that he could not recover, his physician,
DR.. Goodale, telegraphed one of the
sisters in New York and received q
reply by letter. This morning he tele-
graphed the news Of his death, but
had not received a reply this after
noon. 1t is thought that the body
will be sent to friends in New York
for burial. Mr.. Johnson was about
silky years of age and claimed to be

GEORGE AS A NEWSPAPER MAN.

Charles E. George, the Woodsville
man who promised to make a souvenir
Of the present Vermont Legislature
and is charged with using the mails
for fraudulent purposes because he
did not kept the promise, is, accord
ing to all evidence, fakir of high
degree. The Northampton, Mass. }
Herald says that he was formerly an
attendant at the asylum in that city
and tells of some of his exploits as a
newspaper man.
George was reporter on the Nashua.
N. H., Gaztte twelve yeers ago. His
biggest stroke was full front page
story OF the arrest Of gang Of count
erfeiters on train in Nashua at noon
on the day of publication. 1t was a
regular dime novel story and boosted
in it that the other papers would not
have it. OF course they did not, as
it was cut bodily from Montana pa
per of two years before, the towns
simply being changed. Just before
then he had cost the Boston Herald
many thousands of dollars to defend
and pay for libel suit. The paper
published long and sensational story
about the Grafton county poor farm.
Georges father had just before then
been superseded as uperintendent by
another man. George is a finely edu-
Gated and appearing man, but has
been in scores of serious legal scrapes,
although at one time lawyer.

PROGRAM PLANNED.

The legislative program for the
last session of the fifty Con-
gress will be agreed upon this week.
That is the purpose of the recent con.
ferences with the President, writes a
Washington correspondent to New
York paper. The President wants to
know whether Congress can amend
the Sherman antitrust law at this
session.
1t is believed by experienced leaders
of the party that no extra session will
be needed to deal with trusts. They
are satisfied with the Presidents rec
ommendation as incorporated in his
message and see no reason why there
should be difficulty in agreement up
on the proper amendments.
The President has not been secre-
tive about what he intends to recon-
mend He believes there should be
some law to prevent over capitaliza-
ton and to require the same kind of
inspection and publicity that is re-
quired of national banks. Public
opinion has generally approved his
plan. The attorneys general is salts
fed from his Investigations that it
can be done, and the Republican lead
ers in Congress are willing to under
take this work.
1t will be easier to do this work at
the short session by Congress already
organized and in harness than by a
Congress that has to be organized
with new committees.
The results of the session, as pre-
dicted by those in command, are that
Congress will pass the appropriation
bills, reach a final agreement in con-
ference on the bill to protect the
President, clear up Cuban reciprocity
with treaty, provided Cuba will
consent; agree upon canal treaty,
possibly agree upon the bill to create
a department of commerce, which
has passed the Senate, and amend the
Sherman anti-trus law.

Observation-Disclosures
RAILROAD.

Accepting an invitation of the board
of trade large number of business
men interested in the proposed rail
road between this city and Rutland
met with members of the board on
Tuesday evening in John H. Senter's
office to discuss the matter of making
the survey,
The committee attending to the de-
tails of the enterprise explained that
the city of Rutland was in accord with
the people in Montpelier and that
those interested in the former city
had pledged themselves to pay one
third of the cost Of the proposed sur.
vey.
1t was voted by the gentlemen pres
ent to stand the expense of the re-
naming two thirds of the cost of the
survey and the funds will be raised by
subscription as in Rutland.
Those interested in the project in
this city believe that material aid
will be available when needed from
parties interested in the Rutland, Del
eware & Hudson and New York Cen.
trail roads.
The committee will confer with
those in charge of the Rutland end of
the project as to taking immediate
steps in the matter of the survey.

UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE

The union Thanksgiving service at
Bethany chapel Thursday morning
was fairly we'll attended and was .
very fitting celebration of the day. In
the absence of Rev. Mr.. Reed, Rev.
l.. K. Whitman of Trinity church
presided. The service consisted of re-
sponsive readings, prayer by Rev. Mr..
Whitman, congregational singing, and
an address by Rev. Guy @. Lamson
of the First Baptist church. Mr..
Lamson took as his text Psalms cxxvi 3.
1.-THE Lord hath done great things for
us, whereof we are glad," and gave a
forceful address, speaking of the great
prosperity of the country and State,
and especially Of the impetus that has
been given all denominations, in
church work during the past year in
Vermont. He said he believed COM
plete returns would show that during
the past year the advances along this
line had been greater than for forty
years. In closing he said we need to
have greater appreciation for the
blessings God has bestowed, but that
as yet we have only touched the bor-
derland of the good he has in store,
and all that is required to permit us
to enter into the fullness of his bless
ing is that we follow Gods way as he
has directed and obey him.

RUTLAND MILK DEALERS
FINED.

The legality of the Rutland city
ordinance which imposes license fee
of from 81 to $50 on milk peddlers is
in fair way to be tested. The pro-
vision has not been generally observed
although many of the milkmen have
secured licenses as required. Within
few days eight dealers have been
brought into court for selling without
a license and three were found guilty
and fined So and costs each. The re-
manning cases have been continued
until Monday. Those who were fined
took an appeal for the purpose of
getting the matter into higher court.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

1t appears from later reports that
the epidemic of the foot and mouth
disease in New England, which caused
secretary Wilson to quarantine all
cattle, sheep and swine in these states
is not so widespread as was feared at
first. The disease has gained little
or no Roadway in Vermont, and in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut there are comparatively few
affected herds. The disease is very
contagious however and the action of
the department in stamping it out by
extreme measures is commendable.
A description of the malady is of
interest, inasmuch as it has become
suddenly the most discussed subject in
New England.
The disease breaks out in the mouth
in blisters from about the size of
pea to that of half dollar In day
or two these blisters break, making a
sore. While the disease, in the ma
jority of cases breaks out in the mouth
first it is sometimes found in the feet,
forming blisters in much the same
way. The disease runs from 10 to IA
days and while it is not necessarily
fatal to the animal, in the case of the
COW all of the milk has to be thrown
away, and the beef is of no use. If
the milk is used, it is more than
label to result III persons taking the
disease, and with them it often re-
suits fatally. Swine and sheep, together
with cows, are particularly liable to
catch it, and horses when brought
into direct contact are also liable to
contract it.
This is not the first appearance of
the disease in New England. The
first epidemic appeared in Massachu-
sets in 1870 and was traced back to
Canada. 1t reappeared in 1878 in
serious proportions, but has not since
returned until the present time. The
present epidemic dates from Nov. 10,
when a partial quarantine against
Cumberland r. l. was ordered. With
in two days there had been found two
infected farms, and third where the
coures of the disease had been run and
the cattle were again well. One of
these was at Dedham, Mass, and the
other two, including that where the
disease had run its course, at Sharon,
Mass. These centres of infection
were, it is said, traced back to the
Brighton market, where animals had
been brought within four weeks of
the outbr eak.
