A Pertinent Inquirg.

DO you know that for little ore than
it costs to take your family to the theater
once, you can have Graphophone, which
Is equal to a dozen theatrical performances
rolled into one, for with it you can repro
duce all the songs, speeches and musical
selections that you wish to hear? You
get a combination of an orchertra, theatre,
concert and no end of novel and delight
full entertainment. Nothing is truer than
the assertion that the Graphophone enter
tains everybody everywhere. Those who
are not familiar with this wonderful in
strument have much to learn that will add
to their pleasure.
The Columbia Photograph Co., I64
fremont street, Boston, headquarters for
Graphophones and talking machine sup
plies OF every kind, will send you catalogs
on application.

Bennington has elected a strong
and competent board of selectmen by
a decisive majority in the largest
town meeting ever held in town. They
have public sentiment behind them
and, while town Office is a thankless
and often disagreeable task, they have
an opportunity to make a good record
in the interest of the town that the
Banner and Reformer expects to see
them improve. The administration of
the new license law brings an added
to the selectmen and an
opening to unlimited trouble but at
the same time increased duties and
bring increased
for distinguishment in the
public service.

The following from the Burlington
Free Press will be OF interest to stu
dents of history in this section, as
some of the principal actors in the
matter we're Bennington county men;
Among the historical manuscripts
printed in the February Bulletin OF
the Boston Public Library, is letter
from Senator S. r. Bradley of Yer
mont, dated January q, 1901, TO Judge
Royal Tyler, saying that he is tired
of his seat in the Senate, and making
this suggestion, 'that | shall take Gov
G.'s place-that you shall take the
place l now hold-that Judge Robin
son shall take the place you hold, and
that d. Chase shall be placed on the
Supreme Court vice Judge H. liar
rington), who may probably wish to
retire to preach the gospel to the Bap-
lists. This plan miscarried, as Gov
Galusha remained in Office till 1913, at
which time Bradley also retired, to be
succeeded by Chase.
Evidently our forefathers knew
something about political wire pulling
aud slate making as we'll as the pres
emit generation. In this instance, how
ever, the slate was pretty effectually
smashed just as it sometimes is now
a lays.

Judging from some of the prohibit
zionist statements made during the re-
cent campaign, all respectable people
should have been compelled to take to
a cyclone cellar Tuesday morning
when the sun rose on Vermont's new
license law; but someway somehow the
awful change does not appear to have
conyulsed the state, the sunshine was
just as bright, the mud no deeper,
toast and eggs for breakfast tasted
just as of old, the children went to
school as usual, the demand for cough
and castor oil was just as
brisk and business seems to be doing
same as ever. The state really APP
pears to have successfully passed the
stage and if Vermont isn't the
better for it, in lifelong run, we shall
be sincerely disappointed.

THOSE GNAWIHG RATS.
A Common and Curious Illusion


'Ifelt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de
scribe is symptom. Other signs are a
heayiness and distress after eating bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in eX-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute inhammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DIR.

The town election result shows that
it does not pay to be too selfish. The
Republican party had an opportunity
to unite with the Democrats and name
two members of the board of selectmen
and half the listers and other town Of
feials Instead of doing so and there
by preventing partisan strife, the Re-
publican caucus preferred to insist on
the whole thing. Like the little pig in

got nothing except the lesson. Fix

sometimes pay to go to school there.

Export Sales to Portugal and South

Market. -

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Oct.
21.-The bears in wheat were inclined to
take heart this morning when the re-
cepts We're posted showing 4O4 cars OF
wheat in Minneapolis against 379 last
year. This was the first day for some
time that the receipts passed those Of
last year, and naturally the bears felt
that this was an indication of a turn in
the movement that would bring in more
wheat from now on. When they looked
toward Duluth, however, there was a diff
ferent feeling, for in that market the
falling off was remarkable, only 1S1 cars
coming in, against $50 last year. Chicago
had 101 cars against $50, Kansas City
900 bushels against 114,000 and St.
Louis So. 900 against $4,000. Minneapolis
elevator stocks have decreased 200,G00
bushels so far
The market here was unsettled and very
uncertain. December and May were weak
and strong by turns, but held In tight
range. December held over SOC easily,
and S03a@S05sc was reached early. May
was up and down from 1880 to 79c and to
7S1s@78fso. The weather map was
favorable and the forecast Is for fair
weather tonight and Thursday, but at
1890 there was a little rain at Winni-
peg. From Chicago came reports of cash
sales and Of sales for export. Portugal
and South Africa were said to have
bought wheat to the amount of seventy
loads, or about $50, 900 bushels. Liverpool
was quiet and dull. opening unchanged
and closing I'D lower but Paris had an
advance equal to &c for October wheat
and 1 &c for November.
Primary receipts were 1,161, 900 bushels,
against 1,42S,O0O, and shipments were 1874, =
600 against $4,000. Wheat and flour
clearances, $4,000 bushels.
Broomhall estimates that import re-
qulrements for the remainder Of the sea-
son VIII be 600 bushels a week.
The market was active and weaker near
the close. December sold down to 79Ac,
closing at 1875 @s0c, and May sold down
to 1880 and closed at 7S1ac.
Eighty-s1x cents was again paid for No.
l northern, but there were also sales at
So12c and some at S5c. The market on
the whole was about steady with yester-
day early and a fraction easier later on
