Joyous Holiday Crowds.
At an early hour this morning the
streets and avenues were crowded with
members OF organized labor accom-

II was easy to see that they were off
for an outing.
The greatest number OF the holiday

Seventh Street wharves to embark for
River View and Marshall Hall where the
members OF organized labor. under the
banners Of the Central Labor Union and

Ample provision had been made by
the committees in charge of the cele

in rest while entertained with innocent
amusements. and at 10 a. m. the time
appointed for the first boats 70 leave for
Marshall Hall and River View, nearly
1000 people were assembled at the
wharves.
Crowded to the Gunwales.
The first boats which steamed out from
the wharves were loaded 20 the gun

greatest crowd however. did not leave
Washington until the afternoon In all
it is estimated that over ten thousand
people took part in the celebration of
Labor Day at Marshall Hall and River

Soon after the crowds arrived at the
pleasure grounds the exercises were
commenced and continued throughout
the day. At both Marshal Hall and River

Contractor Arrested.

District Attorney Horace Speed, Of
Oklahoma, announced that the indict-
ments had been returned by the Federal
grand jury. Stokes is said to have been
arrested and released on 81, 500 bail and
the county commissioners are said to
have fed from the Territory. These in
dictments are considered TO be a mere
beginning. Frauds of a glaring character
are alleged in connection with the con-
struction of roads and bridges and Sec
retary Hitchcock has announced that
every man found to be interested in the
frauds. and against whom there is suffi-
cient proof, will be prosecuted 10 the
end.
Secretary Hitchcock yesterday made
public the reply OF Philip c. Garrett,
president of the Indian Rights Asso-
citation, to the request OF the Secretary
for information whether or not the re-
port of S. NJ. Brosius, special agent Of
the association, on the scandals in the
Indian Territory, had been made pub
lie with the consent of Mr.. Garrett be-
fore it was received by the Secretary.
President Garrett replied that he did
not remember exactly how the report
was given out.

secured by State and municipal bonds.
the transaction is different from the one
OF last year. when State and municipal
bonds we're accepted as security for pub
lie deposits Then, being anxious to in
crease the national bank circulation,
Secretary Shaw allowed depository banks
TO substitute State and municipal bonds
for part of the United States bonds they
had on deposit to secure public money
They were then required to take out
circulation based on the United States
bonds thus released, and the State and
municipal bonds were accepted as Sc
curity for deposits to the extent of their
par value.

Mr.. Hitchcock's Letter.

Secretary Hitchcock then replied to
Mr. Garrett and characterized the pre-
mature publication of the Brosius report
as a grave piece of discourtesy. He
thought the publication of the report be o
fore he saw it was not Justiiable, and
that IL was upfair%and. discourteous to
spread broadcast accusations against
officials without further yerification and
without having allowed the accused per-
sons an opportunity TO defend them
selves.
The department" says the Secre-
tary, further maintains that its IN
spectors and other officials should have
respect and confidence until a clear case
is made against them, and the present
policy in dealing with the Indians is
the result of accumulated experience and
is being pursued intelligently and Wig
orously with a view to the Indians best
interest"
The Secretary, in his letter, tells Mr.
Garrett that the information and
charges in the Brosius report were not
news 10 the department, but had been
under investigation for many months.
AS evidence Of this he cites the fact that
several officials have been removed and
the entire regulations for the lease and
sale OF Indian lands so revised that from
- to l25 per cent more is now offered
for the lands than was offered before
the new regulations went into effect He
also noted that 423 deeds for Creek
lands have been refused, and certified
checks for $685., 900 have been returned to
those who wished the department to
certify the deeds.
Mr.. Garrett wrote a third letter to
the Secretary in which he disclaimed
any intention of acting discourteousIy.
and expressed the fullest confidence in
the Secretary's ability and desire 10 get

Geo. {. Greene's Personal Guarantee.
Given 10 Every Purchaser Of Hyomei- Cures
Catanh or Money Back.

Hyomei is not patent medicine
Hyomei is not theoretical concoction ;
Hyomei is not the result of chance.
This unique treatment for the cure of
catarrh and other diseases of the res
piratory organs only came after years
of study and research, and is the re-
suit of scientific knowledge, used in a
common sense way.
Catarrhal germs have their life and
produce their poison in the mucous
membrane of the air passages. Health
cannot be secured unless these germs
are destroyed, and this cannot be done
by stomach dosing.
Hyomei destroys all catarrhal germs
in the head and air passages, soothes
and heals the mucous membrane, ir-
ritated by catarrhal poison. 1t is the
simplest and most convenient of all
remedies for catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but s1.OO,
consists of neat inhaler that can be
carried in the purse or vest pocket.
medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei. If one bottle does not cure, extra
bottles may be obtained for SOC.
George Z. Greene has so much faith
is this method of treatment that he
guarantees Hyomei to cure catarrh or
he will return the money.
Many of the best physicians in
Brattleboro recognize the scientific
value of Hyomei and prescribe it in
all troubles of the respiratory organs.
Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes
four times day. and your catarrh
will soon be cured. If it is not George
E. Greene will refund your money
without hesitancy.

Senator Proctor and His Fishpole.

The Montpelier Argus protests be.
cause The Messenger said that Senator
Proctor could carry - fishpole. -
"Fishpole" appears to be tabooed in
the modern sportsman's vocabulary.
Rod is now the proper word.
But this paper insists that the word
"fishpole' is the very word to use and
the only word to be used when one sets
about any attempt to do justice to the
piscatorial prowess of Senator Proctor.
1t needed not the immortal philosophy
of IZaak Walton to assure US how much
the character of the man develops
and shows itself when he goes a-tish
ing, nor how much it is reflected in
the kind of tools he goes a-tishing with.
When The Messenger said ''tishpole'
the word picture thus conjured before
the Imagination was of barefoot, tow
zle-headed, freckle- faced lad, with
brimless straw hat, one suspender strap
crossing his back and over one should

on the string and act as sinker, and a
bent pin for hook, which after hav-
ing impaled worm, will be solemnly
'spit on before being cast into the
stream.
This boy is going to catch some
fish.
The picture is imaginary, but the
fish are real.
His old alder pole and its unique par

Mark Carr, the well-known Addison
county cattle buyer, who was arrested
early last winter charged with grand
larceny for having taken several calves
from the farm of Norman Foote in
Cornwall, and at the December term
of Addison county court committed to
the state hospital at Waterbury that
his mental condition might be ascer-
tanned, was tried at Middlebury last
week upon the original indictment
and found guilty and sentenced to not
less than two years nor more than three
years at the state prison at Windsor.
The trials of Mrs. Mary NJ. Rogers
of Bennington, charged with the muir
der of her husband, Marcus Nj. Rogers,
in Bennington Aug. u. 1902, and of
Leon Perham and Estella Bates, charged
with assisting in the murder, have
been continued to the December term
of county court, which is held in Ben
nington. The reason for this is that the
crime took place in that town and most
of the witnesses reside there. The
crime was most atrocious. Rogers was
hit on the head, chloroformed and
thrown into a brook. Mrs. Rogers
pleaded not guilty, as did also Leon
Perham.

Rutland is merely convalescing after
so years of the old prohibitory law.
Things can hardly be quite as bad as
they are painted by the News, whose
disbursement over the present work
ings of the license law is pretty nearly
total. Give the town show: likewise
Burlington and Brattleboro. There is
naturally some exultation and hila-
robustness now under the new dispense
ton, but it is unreasonable to suppose
that there is not manhood and moral
strength enough left to bear up under
little temptation and make recovery
rapid. If not, then the representative
citizenship of the state is a weak
minded association and needs a guar
dian. Woodstock Age.

sequester and Cure the Drunkard.

Like leprosy, confirmed alcoholism is
disease, against which legislation
properly may be directed. The aver
age drunkard cares no more about a
Today Jail sentence or 10-month
work house sentence, than he does for
the good advice he never heeds. His
disease destroys moral sensibility. The
habitual drunkard is an enemy to him
self, to his family and to society in
general. Why not make him ward of
government? Not a convict by any
means, but an object of paternal Sc
questration and care. Colonize him, il
advisable, or transport him. if neces-
sary. Teach him, employ him, guard
him and cure him of his disease if cur
able. The disease itself is not crimi
nal, but it is the begetter of every
criminal tendency, and its restriction
is of such far-reaching consequence,
as to command the whole strength of
national policy. -Morrisville Messen-

Exultant Commiseration.

An amusing probable outcome of the
license local-option law is that the
larger wet towns will fail to realize a
penny from the license fees-they will
all be absorbed in paying extra police,
Jail and poor expenses, while the one
half going to the state will be distrib-
uted among the towns and will be a
clear gain to we little dry fellows. And
this is NORWOOD and gall to the big
fellows who have been bowling over
the unequal representation, the distri-
button of the school and highway
taxes, etc. Over these matters the ST.
Adams Messenger has shed tears that
but for the dry weather would have
caused Lake Champlain to overflow its
banks. And now to have their pet
measure to run in the same deplorable
channel is too bad, too bad. But, gen
tlemen, you have your rum. Let this
be a consolation cup to your lips. -

Russia takes proper and dignified
position in respect to her Kishineff
troubles. just such an attitude as we
should have assumed, probably, ii a
sister nation had undertaken to inter-
fere in behalf of the water cure" suf-
ferers in the Philippines. She knows
all about the trouble and she proposes
to discipline her own household her
self, as we'll as to care for those who
got the worst of the difficulty. There
is always, in human nature every
where, an element of cruelty and OPP
preston, and no country has a record
entirely free from its outworkings. 1t
does not signify, however, because
Jews have been cruelty massacred by
Russian peasants, that all Russia is
barbarous. Kindness and sympathy
exist there, as everywhere; but these
qualities are more readily recognized
in ourselves than in others.

A monument has just been erected at
Darlington, r. l., in memory of the
faithful service to Darlington families,
of negro slaves during the Revolution.
What the service was, is not stated ;
but it must have been great, else it
would not have won anything beyond
the recognition due slaves natural
service. And faithfulness in slave is
an heroic quality, because the harder
and more ignoble the conditions of
ones life, the more difficult it is to be
true among them. This monument, the
first of its kind in the United States,
is well placed. How better, than to
commemorate the faithful service of a
bondman?
