The sensation of the week was the
bill introduced. by Warner, of Yer
gennes, to move the state capital from
Montpelier to Burlington, and to allow
that city to issue bonds for 100000 to
aid in new buildings for state purposes.
This bill ia no Joke, but is carefully
drawn and has behind it a strong senti-
ment to move the state capital to place
that is more accessible to the people of
the state. The speaker appointed a
committee of one from each county to
consider the bill, as follows Warner, of
Vergennes, Howe, of Readsboro, Hofi-
man, of Wheelock, Vincent, of Burlng-
ton, Hastings, of Concord, Ayers, of
Swanton, Haynes, of North Hero, Har-
rington, of Cambridge, Heath, of Fair
lee, Lyon, of Westmore, Smith, of Wal
lingford, Richardson, of Montpelier,

More people will be affected by the
passage of II. 20, which went through
the House Wednesday, if it becomes a
law, than any before the legislature. 1t
practically compes every subscriber to
any paper, whether within or without
the state, to pay for the same in adj
vance. The bill provides for its taking
effect on and after January l, 1908. The
Senate may kill it, as it is undoubtedly
class legislation.

One of the inconsistencies of legisla-
ton was very aptly illustrated Wednes-
day when the House killed bill for
permanent Improvement of the main
highway from st. Adams and Swanton
to Canada, where the road is impossible
every year from four to eight weeks,
and then proceeded to pass half
dozen bills to pay certain persons the
sum therein named without a murmur,
although the aggregate amount was
about the same as called for to put a
great highway in permanent repair.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic actions of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull or bad
with headaches and other aches. You
