The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist

votes considerable space to the granite
industry in Montpelier and Barre.
The great derrick recently erected at
Mayor j. M. Boutwell's quarry is

eral illustrations showing the immense
castings made for the derrick by the
Lane Manufacturing Company. Fig
ures are given showing the number of

October, 1902. In Barre the number
given in January is l,3l4, in October
/ ,344 Tho highest number employed
at any one time was in May, when
/, 400 cutters were at work. In Mont
pelier the January figures are 30l and
in October 376, which was the largest
number recorded during the year.
The number of blacksmiths in Barre
is given as 1870, and in Montpelier as
% to 80. Editor Hupt's trip to north
ern New Hampshire IN quest of deer
is the subject of good story which
is illustrated with half tones of the
editor and his companions, and Incl
dents of the trip that came within the

interesting and valuable number.

SHORT AGE or GRAIN.

1t may not be generally known, ex-
cept to those affected, that in Vermont
there is and has been tor several weeks
a shortage of grain and feed stuffs
which, in way, is equal to the coal
famine. In this city the firm of e W.
Bailey e Co., which does n whole
sale business equaled by few firms in
New England, has for the past few
weeks been handling but little grain
aside from furnishing the retail trade
in this city and vicinity. Their mill
here which usually grinds three car
loads a day is now grinding but three
a week and shipments to outside GUS
toners have practically ceased. This
condition is not the result of short
age of grain in the country, for this
is ample, but it is in the West and
the railroads cannot haul it to the
eastern markets. To illustrate: e.
W. Bailey q Co. are now carrying a
heavier stock than ever before but it
is stored in freight cars at Chicago
and other western points and the rail
roads are absolutely powerless to
move it.
The coal famine is in part respons-
IDLE for this, but shortage of loco
motives is the problem which most
concerns the roads. This particular
section of New England is in worse
straits than any other because the
Grand Trunk system, over which
most of the western freights come, is
suffering from great rush of bust
ness, and shortage of cars, locomo
tives and coal.
Grain bought in November and the
first part of December by Bailey &
Co. is still on the side tracks in Chic
ago and no relief in the situation is
looked for until spring.
The greatest shortage is in the stock
of corn. There is very little corn in
all New England, all the old stock is
closed out, and as comparatively little
was secured by eastern dealers in the
fall, this grain cannot be bought now
at any price. Oats and mill feeds are
more plenty but there is not enough of
these to anywhere near fill the de-
mand Just now the situation is not
serious for in January the demand
from farmers and stock raisers is al
ways light, but when the feeding
months If March and April come it is
plainly foreseen there will be call
for grain and feed stuff which cannot
be satisfied. There is no danger of a
famine in this immediate vicinity but
in the large outside territory which
depends on Montpelier for grain sup
ply the matter will be different.

UN4NIlMO US REEL ECTION

The women's auxiliary to the Hea-
ton hospital held its annual meeting
on Wednesday January H. The treas
urer's report made for the year ending
January 1, 1903, shows that after all
bills are paid the sum CT 1863. 43 still
remains as deposit, exclusive of the
collections made by the Calendar club,
which amounts to $3.50. 1t is fnan-
cial showing which affords the ladies
much satisfaction and in which they
may well take pride. The collections
of the Calendar club are to be placed
to the credit of the auxiliary when
complete. OF the sum now on deposit
it was voted to give to the trustees of
the hospital $500 to dispose of as in
their judgment seems best.
Mrs. G. HI. Heaton was unanimously
reelected president of the auxiliary as
were the secretary. Mrs. j. Eli Good
enough, and the treasurer, Mrs. Clara
Blodgett. The old board of vice. presi-
dents and managers was also re-elect-
ed, which, in turn, reelected the va
rious committees.

WILL NOT RESIGN.

Rutland, Jan. l6.-Contrary to ex-
pectations in local military circles
Capt. B. H. Stickney of Co. A, who
was scored severely in the order from
Governor Mccullough regarding the
findings of the Dyer court of inquiry,
will not resign his commission.
The expectation has been from the
first, when the conditions of the COM
pany were shown to be so bad last
June, that Captain Stickney, who is
a nephew of Ex-Governor Stickney,
would retire at the first available op-
portunity. The opinion among mill
tary men in this section was that such
was the only proper course for him.
1t has been claimed that he consid
cred the scope of the court of inquiry,
which sat here in December, too linn
tied to do him full justice and that
he would make application for sec
ond court to examine into the matter
which he desires Investigated. Cap
tain Stickney stated last night, how
ever, that he would carry the matter
no farther. He asked Colonel Estey
for the discharge of ID members of
Company A.

THE WIRELESS Wires.

The following poem was written
for and read at the banquet given the
employees of the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company in this
city on Thursday evening"
1 have just been reminded by Butler,
my friend,
OF what this occasion requires;
To make a success is for all to unbend
And to feel that you re free to receive
and to send
Solicitations by wireless wires.
A wink or smile or wave of the
hand
Will cause the vibrations to flow;
In a widening circle they quickly ex-
pand
In the old fashioned way that you all
understand,
If you don't you are helplessly slow.
For the wireless wires are now in
comm ission;
Now keep them as busy as bees.

For heart TO heart talking without
intermission,
So talk just as much as you please.
Let's have a good visit without talk
ing shop;
Boys! talk to the girl you admire.
Girls! drop your old switchboard and
let the drops drop
And talk till the super commands you
to stop
Conversing by wireless wires.
No strict supervisors can supervise
here;
Talk as freely as you may desire
No battery jars on the sensitive ear
While whispering softly, Hello there,
my DEAR
There S no risk over wireless wires.
And now my good friends, since I've
broken the ice
And carefully opened the way,
/ trust you won't need any further
advice
So I'll have nothing further to say

present from each town then named

mothers of such afflicted children to ac-

Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and

VERMONTvS COLLEGIANS.

State Superintendent w. E. Ranger
has, during the past two or three
months, collected for the use of his
office statistics to show how many
Vermont young men and women go
to college after completing their pre-
paratory school education. He has
sent out to about fifty colleges in New
England and outside. blanks to be
filled in showing the number of stu
dents from Vermont in each class in
the regular courses-in the post grad
uate. the professional, and special
courses. While he has not yet COM
pleted the work returns have been
received to show that surprisingly
large number of Vermonters are now
in college.
In exactly forty colleges from which
returns have been received, there are
at present 987 students from Vermont.
In only four or five of them are there
no Vermonters. The University of
Vermont leads off with an attendance
of 5l1 residents of this State. Mid
dlebury follows with 119, but Ver-
mont other college, Norwich Uni
versity, has to give way to Dart
mouth, the latter having 50 Vermont
ers while the former has only 45.
Other colleges outside of this State
follow with these figures: Tufts 27 !;
Mt Holyoke, 81; Harvard, 20; Smith,
26; Yale, Is; Columbia, 13; Mass In,
stitute of Technology, 13; Wesleyan,
l3; Boston University, i2; Williams,
z; Wellesley, 7; Cornell, 7.
Even among the western colleges
Vermonters are found, the University
of Michigan having four and the
University of Chicago, three. Those
figures give some idea of the number
of Vermonters that are securing high
er educations, either in classical or
professional courses and speaks we'll
for the ambition of the Green Noun
