Reuben r. Thrall of Rutland received as
an annual compensation for conducting
one of the most important offices in the
state. The salary of William NJ. Reyes
of Swanton was but $l5757, and that of
William X. Bixby of NergenneS S119.1l,
while the popular Thomas Leaverett of
Windsor took $31G.75 and Alexander
Hutchinson of Woodstock just half as
much. At that time there were just two
foreign-born postmasters in the lot both
coming from Scotland, % hailing from
Massachusetts and "a from nnecticut,
while the balance were either natives of
this state or New Hampshire. Today
there is one office, Burlington, to which
the handsome salary of $4,000 attaches,
the next highest being that of Rutland,
$500, while two postmaSters are paid
$4,000 each.

c. A. Arthur's Birthplace.

The dedicatory ceremonies of the
monument authorized by the legislature
of 1900 to mark the site of President
Chester A. ArthWr's birthplace in Fair
field will occur some time the coming
summer, the exact date not being deter
mined at this time. That the occasion
will be notable one is assured from the
fact that Robert T. Lincoln and William
E. Chandler, who served in President
Arthur's cabinet as secretary of war and
secretary of the navy, respectively, will
be the principal speakers.
The foundation for the monument has
been completed but the shaft will not
be set until next spring. 1t will occupy
one corner of the old cellar which marks
the spot where the only VermoEt-born
president first saw the light.
The site was presented to the state by
P. B. B. Northrop, who represented
Fairfield in the legislature of 1900, and
under commission from Governor Stick
ney lie has charge of preparing the
foundation.

Asbestos Lamp Wick Dodge.

A young man of slight build, pretend
ing to be connected with one of the larg-
est and most reputable firms in Boston,
has been victimizing many households in
White River Junction and vicinity by
selling bogus asbestos lamp wicks. He
also collected quite sum of money by
taking pay in advance for asbestos wicks
for round burners, promising to send
them from Boston Immediately but they
have hot come and never will. The firm
with which he pretended to be associated
denounces the man as an impostor and
swindler.
The pre- ended asbestos wicks, fol
which he charged 25 cents each, are com
mon wicks with a small piece of gauze
wire fitted on the end to be lighted
After the wicks have been used awhile
the wire burns off. The fellow is good
talker and has pathetic story to tell OF
his struggle to get an education. 1t is
thought that he is one of gang work
ing mainly in Vermont and New Hamp.

WHY HE PUSHES IT.
C. N. Shaw recommends and pushes
Mi-o.na, the dyspepsia remedy.

| 'It's pleasure to sell medicine when
our customers come in afterwards and tell
ms how much good it has done them, /" said
Mr., Shaw, the popular druggist, to TIMES
man, land that is why we like to sell and
Recommend Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia rene
/ dy,
"The distribution of samples we made
, created so much talk and so large a proper
ton of those who received "A sample have
bought a box of Mi-o-na that our clerks
have been busy selling the medicine ever
since. 3'
1--WE have so much faith in this article that
we are going to guarantee it in the future,
of Mi-o.na whom it does cure. That may
seem rash but our customers have said so
many good words in its favor that we do
not expect to have many packages re-
turned.
ANY one who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest we'll, who has to take
thought AZ to what he can eat, and when,
can leave so cents deposit at our store and
take home box of Ml-o-na and if the rem
edy does not regulate his digestion and
cure his dyspepsia, he can withdraw his
money. don't know but what we would
be willing to pay him interest"
- This shows great faith in the merit of
Mona. 1t is really a most unusual med
icine and the rapid increase in sales since
A ndrews' drug store introduced it in Bel
lows Falls shows that it does all that it
claims to do,-cures dyspepsia, regulates
digestion and enables those who nse ii to-
eat just what they want and when they
want with no fear of trouble. @

Captain BroWnelI's Confession.

Capt. c. NJ. Brownell's confession that
the death of Father Augustine, the Fill
pino priest, was the result of the water
cure administered by his advice for the
purpose of securing from the priest in
formation as to the whereabouts of
insurgents, comes as great surprise to
those who honestly believed and openly
declared the story untrue and who were
very sure the captain could not be guilty
of so cruel an offense, while they even
challenged the proof, which Captain
Brownell himself has finally furnished.
So long as these atrocities were laid at
the doors of non-residents, Vermonters
did not view such offenses in the same
light as now presented, when one of their
own sons is self-convicted. To say that
Captain Brownelfs friends are sorely
puzzled, even dumbfounded, is to put it
mildly. Some of the people who relied

Georges stay at Northampton was but
brief one, as some of his doings at the
asylum led to his discharge after three
] weeks service lie left the city Thurs
day, November Is, for his former home
at Woodsville, n. ii. Inspector Birds
eye of the poStoflice department was IN
i Northampton the following Saturday on
the trail of George, and learning that he
had gone to Woodsville left that evening
for that place. When George made
application at the hospital for position
as attendant he stated that he had gained
some experience in the care of the insane
by having charge of the insane ward of
the Grafton county almshouse at Woods
vile, N. H., under his father who was
superintendent. He said further con-
corning his occupation that he had been
a criminal lawyer and that he had for
three years been connected with min
ing company. at Honduras. He was
engaged and gave satisfactory service.
He appeared to be aman of exceptional
ability and did his work well. lie was
Of striking appearance, and it was mat
ter of some perplexity that man OF so
much apparent ability should be willing
to engage in she kind of work which he
had sought.
At the end of three weeks matters
came to light concerning his doings at
the hospital which reflected on his char
acter, and he was discharged. 1t was
found that he had been writing com
munications purporting to be from the
men attendants to the wonsen attendants
and from the women attendants to the
men attendants. These communications
were scurrilous and vulgar, and the
names of the signatures of men and
women attendants were forged upon
them. Some of these letters were sent
through the mails and others by messen-
ger. The poStotfice inspector went to
Northampton because he understood
George was still at the hospital. The
revelations which he obtained concern
ing Georges further correspondence i'm

weeks his wife and child arrived. They
first boarded at Mr.. Sewers boarding
house on Gothic street and later went to
live at the home of Mrs. Carrie Jones,
the matron at the union station, on River
street. Mr.. George spent considerable
time with his family at the home of Mrs.
Jones. The Georges gave people to
understand that Mr.. George had been
successful criminal lawyer and had
been worth $50, coo at one time But he
had uncommon facility in separating
himself from his money and it was
thought he woula get along better il he
secured a position where the opportuni-
ties of expenditure were few, as at the
insane hospital.

service to the various Villages in this
part of Windham and Wmdsoreounties,
ana TO Bennington county, until itnow
mas over 100 miles of lines and runs to 10
villages. yearor two ago it equipped
all Offices with telephones in addition to-
the telegraph Instruments and now has
both telegraph and telephone facilities
at all It's offices. The lines ran from here
TO Grafton, Windham, Peru, Manchester,
Dorset, chester and other points, and
the last line erected was one from Ches-
ser to Weston. The business of the COM
pany IS under the management of w. r..
n. Walker of Grafton, and most OF the
stock is owned at Grafton. The two OF
ilees in our village are at the Western

want to reach some of it's towns quickly,
when they find good service. The profits
OF the company are used each year IN ex-
