A comparison OF court records in ST..

The past week has seen many gatherings
OF former Vermonters returning to their
native heath and our guests have been
lavish in their praises of the state and its
people. But lest our own people get too
conceited in hearing their praises sung
we beg to remind them that the
efficacy of soft soap depends upon the
amount of lye in it.

Rumors of cabinet changes continue to
be passed around and il the contemplated
changes are made it will beinteresting to
see how Vermonters fare. If Secretary
Root resigns as secretary of war and
Judge Taft succeeds him, then in allprob-
ability Commissioner Wright will be
made governor Of the Philippines and
Judge Ide vice-governor. And ii Secre-
tary Moody resigns as secretary OF the
navy, as has been intimated, it is not at
all unlikely but what Judge Darling, the
present efficient assistant secretary OF
the navy, would succeed him. Whether
at home or abroad the Vermonter in
public life is always making his influence
felt Tor good government and is there
fore in line for promotion when it comes

Thirty-slx years of continued success.
Just think what that means. Thirty-six
long years in business, each year more
successful than the previous one, with
never a backward movement always
growing larger, ever increasing In popu-
lar favor. How many that were doing
business thirty-six years ago are even in
existence today? Very, very few In this
age of development and fierce competition
a concern must do business right. treat
its customers right and sell what is
right. to even hold its own, much less
advance. To do otherwise means that the
concern of today is likely TO be out of the
running tomorrow. The graveyard of
business failures is fun to overlooking.
But thrty-six years of continuous sue
cess and still growing. Think of 1t. How
has 1t been accomplished? In just one
way. BY selling absolutely pure whisky,
direct from our own distillery to the con-
sumner, saving him the enormous profits
of the dealers, and carrying out to the
letter every statement or offer we make,
thereby creating a confidence with our
over a quarter of a million satisfied GUS
toners that cannot be broken. Read our
offer elsewhere in this paper. The Hayner

COTTON BROKERS
ARE EXONERATED
Harris Hyman and Henry New
man Adjudged Not Guilty
GREAT INTEREST IN CASE
Were Accused of Having Received One

New Orleans, March 13.-The trial of
Henry Newman and Harris Hyman for
embezzlement ended tonight in acquittal.
They were at one time about the wealth.
est and most prominent cotton firm here,
and are still doing a large business.
A year ago Colonel BucSner, leading
cotton planter of north louisiana, acct
dentally discovered that some cotton
which he had consigned to the firm and
which the return to him showed that II
had been sold for ga cents a pound had
really brought 91h cents. He came to the
city post haste and asked settlement to
cover all his dealings for some years.
The firm paid him $4,000 and endeavored
to keep the matter quiet. But it got out,
and not only were other claims made. but
the Cotton. Exchange expelled them and
then the grand jury indicted them. This
was the trial of the first case and at
tracted great interest, besides giving en-
ployment to an array of lawyers.
The defense was that the money was
paid to avoid litigation. as the firm had
81 600, 900 outstanding among cotton plant
ers, and not to cover any wrong-doing.
The firm also claimed that when cotton
was sold In bulk at uniform price IL
was averaged. the cotton worth more get
ting above the sale price. 1t held that
some cotton sold with Buckner's at 91s
cents was paid for at the rate of ga, while
Buckner's was worth only 9A. and so
credited. The state held that the transac-
lions were separate, the returns falsified
and offered similar transactions by the
firm to prove system and intent. The jury
evidently believed the defense and
promptly acquitted the accused.

cured.

Eczema, Erysipelas, Itching Piles,

Ring Worm and all diseases of the
skin have positively been cured by
the astonishingly effective new

If you have any affection of the
skin you want to be rid of it.
Don't think because you have
failed to be cured by the countless
blood remedies and skin prepare
tons you have taken that you can
not be cured. The makers of these
remedies have simply failed to
understand the nature of skin di-
seases. They have worked on the
theory that skin diseases are due
to poisoned blood, when in reality
all skin diseases are but the mani.

foreign parasite, which can be
quickly and easily cleared away.
Results count. We have made
thousands of wretched people
happy by clearing up their skins,
once and for all, of disgusting

Southern Pacific Excluded.

Among other things. 1t is charged in the
bill that the Southern Pacific company
was required to charge so excessive a
pro rata on through tariffs that 1t was
virtually excluded from large volumes of
business 1t is declared that large bet
torment expenses have been charged
against the Southern Pacific operating
expenses, whereas the custom Is TO fund
such expense in bonds and distribute the
cost over a series of years, thus avoiding
burden on the present stockholders.
The bill declares also that the operating
expense accounts of the road either show
true state of excessive operating ex-
penses or an erroneous system of book
keeping and that immense Improvements
have been undertaken for the Central
Pacific and enormously charged against
the Southern Pacific operating expense
account with the ultimate purpose of
greatly Improving the Central Pacific at
the expense of the parent system, buying
ii and then purchasing the greatly I'M
paired and deprecated Southern Pacific
system itself. 1t Is declared that during
the eighteen months ending December,
1902 the Union Pacific had made improve
ments amounting to nearly $22000,0O0 in
the Central Pacific charging this amount
against the operating expenses of the
Southern Pacific system and creating a
deficit of SO, 073, 500. q. The bill asks for an
