Gov. Beckham says he believes
along with the jurles that Curtis
Jett is guilty Of assassination, and
that he will never pardon him.
Col. Belknap says il elected he
will do the right thing ifhe should
ever be in position to act on the
pardon Of Caleb Powers. He does
not condemn the democratic
COURT that has twice convicted
Jett, but he does sing the silly old
song OF his party about the courts
that have tried Powers, and in SC
doing shows conclusively that he
would pardon Powers and his
pals. True Kentuckians admire
manhood and despise cowardict

HOPES HE WILL RETURN.

The Montpelier Journal of Monday,
under the scare-head of Great Sen
sation" conveys the startling informa-
ton that sensation of the first
water is now stirring Bradford from
center to circumference, etc., over
the belief that ex-senator Charles +.
Smith has left the State in company
with a woman not his wife. We are
inclined to think that some one has
been stuffing our contemporary some
what so far as the Stirring is con-
cerned as we have been unable to hear
of any one that was badly shaken up
AS matter of fact Mr.. Smith left
here some four weeks ago and has not
yet returned. He has frequently been
away on business for several weeks
and less than six months ago returned
after an absence of some three months,
whereupon the ugly rumors ceased.
We sincerely trust that history may
repeat itself in the present case.
Should it unfortunately prove to the
contrary, it is to be regretted that a
man of his standing should have sold
himself SO cheap. Mr.. Smith during
his residence here has made many
warm friends, their son who has Wis
tied here is well liked and for the
sake of all concerned it is hoped that
the husband and father has not made
an exile of himself by following a mad
hallucination. Bradford Opinion.

A very successful term in the village
school closed on Friday with an enter
tainment in the evening. The play
"Sunbonnets' was given by the pu-
pills in very creditable manner to a
crowded house. The goodly sum of
$1S. 10 was received as proceeds which
will be invested in reference books for
use of school. This is the third enter
tainment given by the teachers two of
whom, Misses Alice and Lottie Dodge,
have been in the school for five terms,
and Miss Flora Batchelder, who has
taught in the primary department for
four terms. From the former entertain
ments the proceeds were used to pur-
chase bell and an organ. Thus adj
ditions to the equipment of the school
have been secured through the instru-
mentality of these young ladies whose
efforts have been untiring for the good
of the school. Their continuation in
the same school fol- so many terms
speaks we'll for their ability as teach
ers and it is certain that their efforts
are appreciated by Plainfield people.
The Misses Dodge left for their home

ALL MONTPELIER
Can Depend Upon This Valuable
Information.

In the winter of 1897 there appeared
in the columns of this paper under
the ancient and worn-out heading,
ga Stray Item of News" plain,
everyday statement from a resident of
the village of Sutton, Caledonia, this
State During the five years which
have elapsed the important part of it
has been published under various in
Productions and has been read time
and time again by our subscribers.
Read-scan it carefully; there is no
need to soour the country as Mrs. @.
+. ,Brockway was compelled to do.
The essential to her health, perhaps
her life, is now household necessity
in Montpelier; that essential is Doan' S
Kidney Pills. The lady, and we re-
peat, her address, Mrs. 9. f. Brock
way of Sutton, VT, says: "From
reading an advertisement in Mont
pelier paper l came to the conclusion
that Doan IS Kidney Pills cure kidney
complaint and the distressing COM
plications arising from inactivity or
irritation of those organs. why won't
they cure me? 1 made an inquiry the
next day at the druggists, and as he
did not have them l wrote to Mont
pelier for them and received them
from Lester II. Green, druggist.
Doan's Kidney Pills were just what L
needed. 1 was getting along famously
when La Grippe pros trated me. When
the attack abated somewhat, severe
kidney trouble set in, and | had to do
something at once. My husband
searched Sutton for Doan's Kidney
Pills and drove to Lyndon for them,
but was unsuccessful in procuring them
there. What l endured before Sec
ond supply reached me from Montpe-
lier is hard to describe. / can only
add to my opinion of Doans Kidney
Pills that am confident had 1 known
of them when l first found out that
had kidney trouble / would never have
been as bad as l was. found Doan s
Kidney Pills of great benefit and if
my experience will be the means Of
alleviating such sufferers you have my
permission to publish it,"
