A WORD PERSONAL.
The representation given Morris
town in the House was businesslike
and painstaking. AS chairman OF
the Committee on Corporations, Mr..
Stafford was one of the hardest
working members of the Legislature
His committee was called upon to
act on SO different bills, some of them
involving matters over which there
were more or less heated contests,
and the amount of labor involved in
conscientious consideration of so
many measures can only be appre-
ciated by those who have been
through it. Aside from this, 1.-THE
gentleman from Morristown was
an active member of the Committee
on Railroads. On the floor of the
House, too, he did effective service in
debate and by his vote, early taking
rank as one of the reliable leaders in
the Legislature. His associates on
Corporations Committee presented
him with fountain pen as an indi-
cation of their regard.
Mr.. Blake of Eden frequently made
a good point on questions before the
House, and the other members from
LamoiIle county, though not de,
baters, gave their towns creditable
representation and didn't neglect
voting
NOTES.
The usual hurry and rush and con-
fusion Of the last night did not ma
terialize this year. The end came
quietly, and, but for the delay caused
by the conference over the caucus
bill, would have come at a much
earlier hour than four o'clock in the
morning.
Speaker Merri6eld was presented
with an elegant gold watch in ap-
probation of the ability and uniform
fairness with which he had presided
over the deliberations of the House.
Lieutenant-Governor Stanton was
given a handsome chain and charm
by the Senator's, and Chaplain Far
man of the Senate received a purse
of 1874.
The Legislature of 1902 will be
like all the rest of us-judged by its
fruits, the picking of which must of
course be deferred until later.

ter, and report and recommend to

struction of some 10 free bridges If
place of the present fare, please
arrangement.
The Senate didn't want to agree
with the House on the appropriation
OF $4,000 for improvements at the
Brattleboro Retreat, on the ground
that it was altogether too private a
concern to ask for state funds; but a
committee of conference Strengthened
matters out by making the $4,000
appropriation lien on the institu-
tion in favor of the state.
Other bills that passed are: APP

SEVERAL WERE KILLED.

That very comprehensive and ex-
ceedingly radical bill to reduce state
expenses 100000 worth, without
much regard for the effect of so
sweeping a cut on the quality of the
public service, was killed in the
House. The nine-hour day bill,
amended so as to exclude those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits was
also promptly buried, although both
these measures brought out some in
teresting and entertaining talk.
The House didn't take kindly to
the Senate bill appropriating $685.
900 for the St. Louis Exposition, and
so killed it by big majority. The
Senate returned the compliment by
killing the bill shortening the trout
season and knocked out the six-inch
clause; so the trout law remains I'M
changed and will continue to be OBJ
served or ignored, according to the
disposition of the fishermen.
The highway robbery" scheme
as the larger towns called twas
headed off by the Senatein the killing
of the bill doubling the state high
way tax, on which the small towns
so persistently insisted in the House.
And who shall say that, after all, it
is not well
Other late lamented measures,
which will await the coming of the
next Legislature, are these: Relating
to the transportation of pupils and
the duties of truant officers; amend
ing the law relating to wagon tires;
providing for uniformity of records;
abolishing the State board of Agri-
culture; full compensation for cattle
heretofore slaughtered by the com
mission; relating to mechanics liens;
providing for recounting Of votes
providing for an insurance depart
ment; relating to cruelty to animals;
regarding police commissions for
agents of S. F. p. O. c. 7. A.. relat-
ing to intimidation of workmen, and |
boycotting; abatement of nuisances

Doan'S
Kidney Pills,
A Modern Medicine for
Every Kidney Ill.

Mr.. II. H. Hughes of Saxtons River, Vt,
employed by b. f. Locke & Co., says: My
kidneys did not act properly for years, ana
it gradually grew on me. For two or three
years they troubled me very much with
dull aching pain across my back ana IN
my loins. If L stood on my feet for any
length of time, l felt the pain across my
back more and my legs became NUMB:
When the pain in my back got so bad that
l could stand it no longer, / put on plasters,
and used a great many of them, but they
only afforded me temporary relief. l also
used medicines of all kinds, but they, did
not reach the cause. l saw Doan's Kidney
pills advertised, and so well recommended;
that was induced to give them trial, and
/ got them at Andrews drug store. They
gave me immediate relief. After the treat
ment | seldom felt any symptoms OF my
former troubles, but when l did l took
few Of Doan's Kidney Pills and it soon
left me, My rheumatic pains were not SO
severe, and did not have that tired, lam
guild feeling. / had more energy IN doing
nv work and give all the credit to Doan's
Kidney Pills. They did me great deal
of good, and l feel justified in recommends
ing them to others as good and reliable
medicine"

I'm all my wild mountaineering l have
enjoyed only one avalanche ride writes
that lover Of nature, John Muir; 'and the
stert was so sudden and the end came so
soon that thought but little Of the dan
ger that goes with this sort Of travel, al
though one thinks fast at times" 1t
was after fresh fall Of snow several
feet deep that Mr.. Muir set out to climb
one of the mountains in the Yosemite
Park.
Most Of the way / sank waist deep. in
some places out Of sight; and after spend
ing the day to within half an hour Of
shutdown in this loose. battling snow work.
I was still several hundred feet from the
summit. But l still hoped to reach the
top for the sunset.
II was not to get top views Of any sort
that day; for deep .trampling near the
canon head, where the snow was strained,
started an avalanche. and I was sWished
back down to the foot of the canon as II
by enchantment. The ploddiug. wailov-
ing ascent Of about q mile had taken all
day. the undoing descent perhaps a min
ute.
when the STOW suddenly gave way I in
stinctively threw myself on nv back and
spread my arms to try to keep from sink
ing. Fortunately, although the grade OF
the canon was steep, Z vas not inter
rupted by step levels or precipices Sig
enough to cause outbounding or free
plunging. was only moderately embed
ded on the surface. or little below IL,
and covered with kissing back-stream-
ing veil OF dusty snow particles; and as
the whole mass beneath or about me
joined in the flight, I felt no friction al
though tossed here and there, and iurched
from side to side. And when the torrent
swedged and came to rest I found myself
on the top of the crumpled pile without a
single bruise or scar And after MANY
years the mere thought of it is stiu an
exhilaration."
