TUESDAY.

The plaintiff in the case of Sias VS..
Consolidated Lighting Co. closed his
evidence this forenoon and the de-
PENDANT is now presenting the defense.
portion of the defense was put in
Saturday by agreement in order that
a witness might return to his home in
New Hampshire. 1t is thought that
the evidence will be nearly if not
quite all in before five O'Clock tonight
and the arguments will probably be
concluded on Wednesday.
The accident case of Mary Randall
VS.. Barre and Montpelier Power and
Traction Co., is to be next tried, this
being done by special agreement, the
case not coming in regular order until
near the end of the trial calendar
The plaintiff in the case, who resides
in Burlington, arrived today.
WEDNESDAY.
The case of Sias VS.. Consolidated
Lighting Co., still has sway in county
court though it is nearly done. This
morning the defendant moved for the
ordering of verdict on the grounds
that the decision of the Supreme Court
held that no action could be main
tanned on the former declaration and
that the evidence given on this trial
had disclosed no further grounds for
action although tried on new declar-
alton. The court after consideration
of the question overruled the motion
and the trial proceeded.
The evidence in the case was closed
at 2:l0, shortly after the opening of
court after dinner. The arguments
are in progress this afternoon, r. A.
Hoar opening for the plaintiff, fol-
lowed by F. A. Rowland for the de.
tense. John Senter and John Gordon
will close for the plaintiff. The ar
guments will probably last nearly all
the forenoon tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon the petit iu-
rors who were recently drawn APP
peared and were sworn in O. M.
Scribner OF East Montpelier has been
excused for the term, and E. r. Prem
tiss. of Waitsfeld, for one week.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, andits invig
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, q years old, writes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago l had combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 90 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about a pound a week. In year
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

THE GUARDS AGAIN.

Commenting on the criticism of the
Vermont National Guard which has
been going the rounds Of some State
newspapers the Enterprise and Yer
monter says. AS far as this paper
is concerned, our criticism was based
on the testimony of members and ex-
members of the National Guard. Ono
said 1 cut out the V. n G., because
/ couldn't stay drunk for week at a
time. Another remark: tn-c COM
pany street, it was common thing to
see eight and ten men dead to the
world at one time. This is pretty
direct hearsay. In the first instance
if the boy mentioned was obliged to
stay drunk" for a week when he
didn't want to, he must have been
one of those Willies who haven t
enough moral or mental fiber in their
makeup to be credit to the National
Guard or anything else, and he
smoke hay seed cigarettes as a dissi-
patton. He isL't strong enough to go
to muster. The second count men,
TONED may look bad but really it is
the most cheerful thing that the crit
les of the militia boys have uttered
thus far-this mention that only
eight or ten in one company were
dead to the world" while from for
mer comments one was led to infer
that practically every one in every
company was drunk most of the
time.

A very enjoyable affair was the party
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. V. Gar

by the young ladies to the young gentle
men of The city. W. were kept guessing

The cold wave which has fingered
with us for the greater part Of the week
has now given way to warmer days. The
coolest at any time in Custer was SO be-
low, and that Is as cold as we desire to
see it. Colder than it has been for many
years and colder than we ever wish to
experience again. Still the conditions
are not so lamentable in this climate as
in the east and south. In the Black
Hills the snow fall has been very light,
not more than four inches on a level,
and even during the coolest days the
SUI shone bright and there vas no par
ticular discomfort or damage or incon-
venience attached to it. In the east il
has been vastly different where deep
SHOWS and billiards have been the rule,
and communication and traffic suspend
ed. In the southern states the effects of
the storm has been still more disastrous
as the deep snow and sudden thaw has
deluged the country with water. Especi-
ally is this true OF Ohio, Indiana, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, where the streams
are out of their banks and overlooking
the lands. So when we come to look
around we can we'll afford to bear the
ills We have, they are SO light compared
with the ills Of others who live in a eli
mate not so favorable to health, comfort
and safety as vi Black Hills.

Tendency OF the Times.


The tendency of medical science ia to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, M of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the nse Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
is a~pprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be Oh the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.
