SWOLLEN FINGERS
AND PAINFUL JOINTS CAUSED BY
RHEUMATISM.
A Severe Case at Gambia, N. H.,
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.

GA few years ago. says Mrs. f.
d. Rowe, of Gambia, N. H., "when l
had been suffering the agonies of rheu-
matism for two years, | found relief
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Before l tried this remedy
my fingers were swollen and all my
joints panied me terribly. The dis
ease affected my stomach so that be-
came troubled with indigestion and
constipation, my nervous system be-
came unstrung and l found myself
melancholy and morose and in a gen.
orally miserable condition. And all the
time / was in pain from the rheuma-
tism.
"An account in the papers of per-
son cured of troubles like mine by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, led me to try
them, and before the first box was all
taken the pain and soreness seemed
better. A few boxes more drove the
rheumatism away and now l feel well.
My husband also took this medicine
for rheumatism with gratifying re-
suits. ~
The real cause of rheumatism is the
presence of acid in the blood, which
irritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those indescribable tortures
which rheumatic sufferers endure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie 90 directly to the seat of the
trouble, purifying and enriching the
blood by eliminating poisonous ele-
ments and renewing health-giving
forces, thus making potent remedy
for curing this disease.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold at fifty cents box or
six boxes for two dollars and fifty
cents, and may be had of all druggists,

SUCCESSFUL IN DEB4TE.

Arthur S. Wells of Middlesex, who
graduated from the Montpelier High
SCI DOL in the class of 1901, has already
won a signal success as debater at
Dartmouth College. He was a men,
Der of the freshman class debating
team of three members, which met the
sophomore class team in a joint de-
bate at Hanover Monday evening and
vanquished them.
The question discussed was, Ere
solved, That the Courses in American
Colleges Leading to the Degree of A.
B., or Its Equivalent, Should Not EX-
coed Three Years, The freshmen
supported the affirmative and the
sophomores the MIGHT'VE. The judges
did not confer together but wrote
their ballots while the audience sang
the Dartmouth song, the result stand
ing two for the freshmen and one for
the sophomores.
While in school here Mr.. Wells was
president of the Blanpied Lyceum for
a long time and was one of the lead
ing spirits in that line of work in the
school. Such success as Mr.. Wells at
tanned is a credit not only to himself,
but to the school where he received
the training that made his success

COL. LYNCH'S TRIAL.

London, Jan. 81. - Col. Lynch,
charged with high treason during the
Boer war, was brought to the Bar
Royal law courts for trial this morn
ing. Lynch was indicted on four counts,
covering actions in the Transvaal,
Orange Colony and Natal. The ac-
cused claims that he was naturalized
Boer and is therefore not indictable.
The Crown is represented by six at
torneys-the defendant, four. The
court room was crowded and interest
was intense at the opening of the
trial. Mrs. Lynch. wife of the pris-
oner, was present Lynch sat in
court, pale and careworu. The mo-
ton of Lynch's attorneys to quash the
Indictment was overruled by the
judges. Lynch pleaded not guilty.
Later.-Lynch was found guilty of
high treason and sentenced to death.
Lynch took his sentence coolly 1t
is almost certain that the sentence
will be reduced to a term of imprson-
ment by the King, as Ireland would be
thrown into a state of red hot indig-
nation should the prisoner be execut-
ed.
Dublin, Jan 23.-The conviction
and sentence of Colonel Lynch caused
great excitement among the National
lists here, and conflicts between them
and the Loyalists were barely averted.
The police are ready to deal with any
! trouble at Galway and Limerick and
! other towns which is almost certain
to occur tonight.

AGRICULTURAL.
WINTER EGGS.

March or April Matched pullets
make the best winter layers. More
depends upon the individuality of the
fowl than upon the breed. 1t does not
make as much difference whether the
fowls are leghorus, plymouth rocks,
or wyandottes, as it does that our stock
comes from laying strain. Having
fowls from laying strain, it is neces-
sary that they be fed on egg produc-
ing foods.
At the head of the list would place
green bone and clover One or both
of these are absolutely necessary to
the highest success. Cut clover
steamed and fed as warm mash, to
gether with ground feed of bran,
middlings, corn and oats, is unex-
celled. Bone meal of some descrip-
tion is also necessary. | have had ex-
cellent success with a grain and Glow
er ration, as above mentioned, scalded
with broth made from boiling. scraps
obtained at the meat shops.
Green feed of some description is
desirable, although clover will, to
quite an extent at least, take the place
of this. Mangels or beets hung upon
nails will supply this want of the
fowls and furnish them with quite a
of grain stored away at harvest time
and one given them occasionally to
scratch and pick over, is very good.
The grain ration should be varied as
much as possible, using oats, wheat,
buckwheat, millet and corn. These
should be fed either in the head or
ear, or thrown upon the litter in the
scratching shed, as an inducement for
the biddies to exercise. During the
winter months corn for the whole
grain ration should predominant, par
ticularly in cold climate. / get bet
ter results by heating it in an oven
and if some of it does get parched,
SO much the better. Plenty of fresh
water always ON hand constitutes a
part of good feeding, and this should
not be allowed to reach the freezing
point.
l practice daily cleaning of the
roosting platform, and remove all the
soil which has become foul in spring
and fall and put in fresh earth. When
doing this semi annual cleaning, put
in enough earth so that l may use
some to sprinkle over the platform
each morning after removing the
droppings. -Correspondent in N. E,

THE CATTLE COMMISSION.

Victor l. Spear of Randolph, secre-
tary of the new State CATTLE commas
sion who was in this city, Wednesday,
and told Journal reporter concerning
the work of the commission under the
new law. 1t is evident that the farm
ers of the State are anxious to stamp
out tuberculosis among their cattle,
for Mr.. Spear states that applications
to test 1000 cattle have come to the
board since it was formed. Not all
of these requests have yet been COM
piled with, but so far about fifty cattl g
have been killed and every one was
found to be diseased. Among the ami
mails slaughtered were several from a
herd in Highgate and thirteen from a
drovers' lot in Ferrisburg The new
law differs from the old one in the
matter of quarantining cattle coming
into the State. Formerly this was a
prerogative of the commission but now
it is matter of statute law and it is
the commissions duty to enforce it.
The task has not been very arduous
the past two months owing to the foot
and mouth disease quarantine estab-
lished by the government. In speak
ing of this matter Mr.. Spear said there
had been no trace of the disease in
Vermont for three weeks, and a re-
quest for the removal of the quaran-
tine was sent to Washington, Monday
Nothing has been heard from the re-
quest yet but it is hoped it will be
granted this week.
The end of the quarantine, however,
will not avail much so long as it re-
mains in force in Massachusetts, be-
cause that State is the great market
for Vermont cattle. Mr.. Spear COM
mended the attitude of Vermont farm
ers during the last epidemic. He said
they had co-operated heartily in the
work of stamping out the disease, which
is the reverse of the attitude shown
in some Massachusetts towns where
the government veterinary who killed
the cattle was arrested for cruelty to
animals.

it in the History of the World S
Great Mines. " A series of articles
on this subject is now appearing in
The Cosmopolitan Magazine, in the
January number, in which Samuel E.
Moffett writes about the famous
'Almaden in Spain that seems to
have discovered the secret Of immor-
tally. For the last twenty-five GEN.
turtles it has been turning out ore
and, as might be expected. its history
has been eventful. The number also
devotes some space to an article on
beautiful women of Paris and their
relation to the world of fashion.
There is also beautifully illustrated
article on The Music of Nature"
that will delight musical persons and
every lover of nature.
In the Vermonter for January Rev.

KEEP THEN WARM.

Take late pigs and give them good
warm place and they will thrive and
do well through the winter and make
large hogs the next fall at a small ex
pense. If they are kept in a cold pen
through the winter, it will take near
" half of the next season to get them
into good shape to grow, and it will
cost more than double to get them in
to the market. / do not believe in
feeling meal to store pigs unless you
have plenty of your own, and then it
should be fed lightly. Pigs under six
months old | would not feed corn
meal, but give ground oats instead.
The oats will make growth and that
is what is wanted for the first six
months Buckwheat is raised by some
of the farmers to fat their hogs on,
but where that is fed you must also
feed some corn meal to make the pork
firm, for pork fattened on buck wheat
will be soft

SAN CARLOS BOMBARDED.

Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. a.
Three German war vessels supposed to
be the Panther, Vineta and Fake,
began Smelling the fort of San Carlos
at half past ten clock yesterday
morning. The fort returned the fire.
The engagement was in progress at
one o'clock in the afternoon.
The affair has created much excite
ment among the German residents of
this port who have protested against
the action of the warships.
Berlin, Jan. 23.-It is we'll under
stood in official circles that the bonn
bardment of Fort San Carlos, Mara
caibo, by the German cruisers, Gazelle
and Vineta, and gunboat Panther
Wednesday, was by the direct order of
the Kaiser, who as chief.
is directing all German operations in
Venezuelan waters.
The Kaiser does not communicate
his orders to Commander Schneider
through official media, but cables to
him directly as if he, the Kaiser, were
on the spot facing the enemy.
The first bombardment by the Pan
ther was ordered by the Kaiser, who
was in the highest degree angry when
he heard of the Panther's repulse.
He then ordered a new lombard
ment by a larger naval force.
With the knowledge that the Kaiser
is directing operations unfavorable
criticism by officials is impossible,
and the press and public also are eau
tious in an expression of opinion. Off
cial, as well as public opinion, how
ever, no doubt sincerely upholds the
Kaiser's strenuous policy.
Washington, Jan. 23.-There is a
singular and suddenly developed reti-
cence on the part of the State depart
ment officials in relation to the Vene-
zuelan situation, especially the Ger
man bombardments, which may be
significant of the gravity with which
they view the situation.
London, Jan. 23.-The British gov
eminent is entirely in the dark in re-
gard to the reasons for the aggressive
action of the German naval authorities
in again bombarding Fort San Carlos
at the entrance of Lake Maracaibo.
The foreign officials here are appre-
hensive of the result of the lombard
ment. They say that no decision has
yet been reached on the question of
the suspension of the blockade 1t
was hoped that matters would have
progressed futher before now, but this
was largely based on the belief that
Minister Bowen would each Washing
ton earlier than he did.
Diplomatic circles here are much
aroused by the news of the lombard
ment but the otticials of the various
embassies seem equally as ignorant as
the foreign office regarding its cause
The belief prevails that the step taken
by the German commander will peril
ously delay the settlement of the ques-
tions in dispute. There are many in
diciations that the blockade will not
be raised for the present and that the
| negotiations at Washington will pro-
coed with perhaps modified form of
blockade or some similar arrangement
as the preliminary basis.

plague has made its appearance at
Toporlco, Mex, sixty-fve miles from
Minas Prietas, State of Sonora.
An unknown white man came to
Torporico about week ago, was i'm

oped symptoms of plague. When

was from Mazatlan and said he had
made his way through the quarantine
lines without much trouble.
The people of Torporico are panic
stricken and many have left the town.
1t is also reported that plague has
been discovered in a small interior
town in Sonora. The people of Topo-
lobampo are dying like sheep and the
survivors are leaving the stricken city
as fast as possible. Many leave in the
night time, going out into the ocean
in skiffs. 1t is feared that these de-
partures will spread the plague
Durham, Jan. 81. - The bubomc
plague, epidemic here, is increasing
and assuming alarming proportions.
There are no less than thirty-six
cases. two being Europeans. Seven
teen have died of the plague thus
far.
