To the Editor OF tie Register:
SIR-The present custom in Addison
county of choosing two new assistant
judges of the county court at each bien-
nial election is subject to much criticism.
This practice is followed in but very few
counties in the state. 1t is generally and
Justly said that the first two years only
serve to give the Judge an experience
sufficient to make him useful, and ac-
quaint him with the duties of his office,
and that his second or third term is
more useful to the community than his
first, because he has the advantage of
his experience.
There seems now TO be very little said
about the coming assistant judges, no
gentlemen as yet having become promi-
nent candidates for the office. Would It
not be well TO continue in Office the pres
ent very worthy and efficient Judges,
Hon. b. M. Collins and Hon. III. ID.
Branch? Whether Judge Collins would
accept denomination am not inform
ed, but do know that Judge Branch
has intimated to his many friends. who
are urging him to be candidate, that he
would not refuse the nomination. The
county could not do better.

Wendell p. Stafford of st. Johnsbury

over and all of the cases settled or con-
tinucd except that of George kelsey
against Frank Meeham, ("Dan Stew
art'), the pugiistic manager. This was
an action in assumpsit for $50. Meehan
had made tender of SIG which was not
accepted. w. A. Atwel of Brandon
appeared for Kelsey and Il. w. Maloney
for Meehan. The case was up for trial
Wednesday morning. There was no ap-
pearance for Meehan, so Judge Stafford
ordered verdict by default for the
plaintiff, of $50 with costs. The several
state cases growing out of the holding
of United States liquor tax certificates
were continued Wednesday morning,
as was the case of State against DIR.

man. In State against Marshall S.
Broughton, late of Brdport, now in Col
fax, Ia, for bigamy, bail was called
and paid by young Broughton's, father,
and a bench warrant issued. State
against Harold j. Stevens of Orwell

is practicing medicine without license
from the state board, there was no ap-
pearance. Bail was called and forfeited

When court opened Thursday morn
ing L. w. Maloney of Rutland, who was
absent Wednesday when judgment by
default was given in case of Geo. Kelsey

ment be struck from the record, as he
had affidavits coming from New York.
This was done and the case continued.
DR.. Harold Stevens of Benson was
then called to plead to an information
charging him with practicing medicine
without a license from the board of
medical censors. He pleaded guilty.
Judge Stafford then gave him the eX-
treme penalty in such cases, 5000 with
costs. The bail in this case, given by c.
B. Goodrich, which was forfeited We'd
nesday when the bench warrant was
issued, was cut down to the actual costs

spraying fluid, bat says that 25O
pounds of compound is mixed with
1900 gallons of water. This is
sprayed on the hyacinths. In the
250 pounds of compound, the Tooth
part, or q pounds is arsenic, the on
ly poison in the preparation. 1t
will thus be seen that q pounds of
arsenic is used in 1850 gallons of wa
ter. Is it enough to kill?
Arsenic is fed to cattle in the graz
ing countries to make them sleek
and fat and fit for the market, but
in what proportion the News does
not know.
1t may be that the cattle eat the
dead and decOmposed hya-
cinths, and that this is what kills
Decayed vegetation is only good for
Piute Indians.
River men want the hyacinths
killed. The cattle men don't, for
they afford good eating to the cat
tie in the winter months, when the
bloom is off the grass and pine need
les are the only luxury of the woods.
No sooner had the reported death
of the cattle reached Palatka, than
Hon. S. j. Hilburn. wired Gov Jen-
uings to see what could be done
about the matter. The governor
acted promptly, and yesterday he
wired Mr.. Hilburn that the govern
ment had ordered the work of spray
ing hyacinths stopped until an in
vestigation could be had.

Will Close His Pastorate.

Rev. DIR. Honiker, for the past four
wears pastor of st. James M. f.
church, South, in this city, will, by
the law of his church, be compelled
to relinuuish his pastorate here at
the close of the present conference
wear. The first Sunday in January
will be his last Sunday as pastor OF
st. James The Methodist system
of appointment to pastorates may
be wise one; it at least has the
merit of providing every clergyman
a LOB" and every congregation with
a pastor, but it is always source of
grief to the bulk of the member
ship-this breaking of the relations
between pastor and people. Dr. Hon
iker is one of the ablest divines in
the Florida Conference, and that he
has served this people the full term
of a pastorate, is evidence that he
has been duly appreciated by his
flock. The doctor is q loyal Metho-
dist; he is pulling no wires for a
good appointment, but expresses
himself as perfectly satisfied to go
whithersoever the authorities of the
church may send him. He has no
idea where that will be.
In preparation for whoever may
succeed him, DR.. Honiker is super
intending the cleaning of the parson-
age and grounds so that the house
will be in order for its new occupant. .
The paper hangers are now at work.
The Florida annual conference will
be held in Quincy the first week in
January.

CATTLE ARE DYING
From Eating Chemically treat
ed Water Hyacinths. Gov
ernment Work to Stop
Pending InVestiga-


John w. Glisson the well-known
merchant and mill man of Bostwlck
brought to the city on Monday the
report that four of his own and
twelve cattle belonging Isaiah VIII
liams of Bostwick had died from the
effects of eating the water hyaclnthsS
which had been chemically treated
by the government employees on
board the steamer LaReye, now op--
Grating on the st. Johns river ana
tributary waters for the purpose OF
destroying the hyacinths.
The last session of congress MADE
an appropriation of 10000 for this
work. the steamer LaReve was
purchased and fitted out for the pur-
pose, and the men in charge Ol
spending this appropriation are now
engaged in that pleasing occupation.
They will, unless interrupted, con-
tinue until the appropriation is used
up. The appropriation, estimated
on the basis of governmental work in
general and nothing in particular,
will be exhausted before the l0OOth
part of the hyacinths are destroyed.
Then the other 999-thousandth parts
will quietly continue the work OF
multiplying, and the $4,000 appro--
priation will have decided ~ cent
look.
The appropriation is no good. 1t
is worse than no good If it is going
to destroy good cattle, who haven
a bit better sense than to chase the
