Face the Facts.

1. II High License is such staunch
promoter OF the temperance cause, why IS
1t that the liquor organizations are SOLID
unit in its favor?
2. II the Prohibitory law is such ter
rible cause of intemperance, then why do
not the brewers and distillers, with their
press, powerfully stand up for it.
3. What is to hinder the few licensed
saloons from entieing all patrons OF the
many2
4. Would you vote for a saloon next
door to your home and II not, do you
think il is quite honorable to want II To-
Gated next to your neighbour
5. Why do arrests for drunkenness aud
crime alarmingly increase in all places
where High License is tried
6. Why does the same uniformity
everywhere exist in regard to increase Of
taxes and appropriations for the poor and
the insane
7. What warrant has any one for enter
tanning the theory that license law would
be better enforced
s. In brief, how shall we account for II
that facts and figures, with public
records, have all pointed the same way,
toward moral and material adversely under
any form OF license

DEFEAT OF DIR. e. A. SMITH.
Spiritualists Reorganize With the
Other Faction in Control.

The SD annual convention of ths
Vermont State Spiritualist association
was held in Montpelier Friday anC
Saturday, Jan. 3 and 10. At the bust
ness meeting Saturday afternoon DIR
E. A. Smith of Brandon was defeated
for the Office of president which he has
held continuously for the past twenty
two years but before he stepped down
and out he told the members of the
association and others who were pres
ent some very plain truths.
DIR. Smith was nominated by New
man Weeks of Rutland and DR.. 5. n
Gould OF Randolph by DR.. Withell o.
Montreal. Before the ballot was
taken DIR. Smith took the floor and re-
hearsed the story of the Queen City
Park troubles. lie said the associa-
ton there had made the mistake Of
selling instead of leasing land on
which strangers who are not members
of the association have erected cot
tages, and between so and 100 such
cottages had been built there. In the
midst of his talk Mrs. Crossett, DR..
Withell, DR.. Gould and others attempt
ed to call DIR. Smith to order on the
ground that Queen City Park affairs
had nothing to do with the State
Spiritualist association but DIR. Smith
held the floor until he had told the
story of how he took up a mortgage OF
81, 300 at the Brandon bank and thus
saved the Queen City Park association
from going into bankruptcy, that at
present he held 80 of the 80 shares OF
the stock and did not propose to be
dictated TO by outsiders. Excitement
ran high for little but things finally
quieted down and the ballotlng for
president commenced. DR.. Smith and
DR.. Gould ran very close for the first
two ballots. On the third several
votes were cast for A. +. Hubbard OF
Tyson, who had not been regularly
nominated, and on the fourth ballot
Mr.. Hubbard was elected. He made
a brief speech of acceptance, saying
that he took the Office in the interests
OF harmony and that he hoped at the
end of another year all the warning
spirits that had been in evidence there
that day would be things OF the past.
He should then insist upon some one
else being elected to the presidency OF
the association. as he had once before
had that honor.
The other officers elected are Vice
presidents. DR.. S. n. Gould of Ran

VERMONT FIRES.

The residence of c. ID. Belden at
East Middlebury was totally destroyed
by fire early Saturday morning, Jan.
10. A Mr.. Reed, who is living with the
Beldens, arose early and built fire
and returned to bed and shortly after
wards the house was discovered to be
ablaze around the chimney. The Bel
dens had recently moved to the place.
coming from Ripton. Several OF the
family had narrow escapes in getting
out Of the house before the walls fell
Mr.. Belden's loss will be $1,000; insur-
ance, 500.
A serious fire was narrowly ayerted
at the store of the Boston Shoe Co., in
Fair Haven early in the evening, Jan.
6. One of the clerks in the store was
lighting the gas in the front window
when piece OF birthstone fell from his
match and set fire to piece of cotton.
The whole window was decorated with
cotton and in few moments the win
dow was all ablaZe. The customers
formed in a line leading from the
pump in the rear of the store to the
front window and passed pals OF

were put out.
The town of Jericho was awakened
early Sunday morning by the alarm of
fire which was checked only after hav-
ing consumed three of its business
blocks, involving loss of nearly $780,
600. The burned buildings were locat-
ed on the south side of the main street
and are the Rood block, the Bissonette
block and the Peoples exchange. The
origin OF the confagration cannot be
determined but it is thought that it
first caught from a stove in the Donald
sou store. 1t was discovered by A. A.
Chesmore at about six o'clock and con-
troll was gained at o'clock. The peo-
pie of the village hlrned out and work
ed with will and the fact that the fire
was not more serious is due in great
measure to their untiring efforts in the
bucket brigade and in the saving of
property. The consumed property
was in no instance fully insured, and
the fire is a blow from which the bust
ness interests Of the village will not
recover in some time.

the hospital in Burlington from in
juries in the Shelburne wreck as John
Andrews, alias John Cochrane of

tify the body.

tickets all being sold long before the
function began. Col. j. III. Mimms OF
st. Adams, presided at the post pran-
dial exercises.
The hotel accommodations OF Rut-
land were severely taxed and the scar
city of rooms made many ludicrous
situations. Both the Bardwell and the
Berwick made use of every nook and
corner and both hotels
looked like hospitals with their
rows of cot beds in the corridors.
Guests slept in bath rooms, store
rooms, and even in large closets.
As soon as one OF the dairymen
in one of the cots in the halls
would get to doing then his neighbors
would either let down his cot or pur-
loin the bed clothes amid roars OF
laughter from all sides. Various
pranks were played upon the different
dairymen aud nobody escaped unless
locked up in room.
The convention was a record break
err for attendance. There were about
300 present at the meetings Wednes-
day.

shortaae Of Cars for Goal shIpments.

III. A. Dubuc has returned from a
trip TO the Pennsylvania coal region,
says the Montpelier Journal. He went
there to examine the situation and try
TO arrange some method of getting
more coal for Montpelier. He found
plenty of coal for sale but had great
difficulty in getting cars for.its ship
ment. In quest of cars he visited the
Delaware q Hudson railroad at Scran-
ton. and laying the matter before the
officials succeeded in getting the prom
Use of some cars-if possible one a
day-until the famine is relieved.
Mr.. Dubuc tells an interesting story
of his experiences in the region be-
tween Ashley and Scranton, which he
visited. The coal roads will sell only
to their regular agents and maintain
the price at $3.50 ton at the break
ers The stories that coal is being
held back, Mr.. Dubuc says, are untrue.
Where cars are available the custom is
to mine, break, size and ship the coal
all the same day, but as a rule there is
more coal than cars to ship il in. The
independent operators and coal scalp
ers are reaping a rich harvest, for
individuals and retail dealers from all
over the east are there in great num-
bers and obliged to buy OF the indie
pendent operators who maintain the
price at $3.50 a ton on the cars.
Teamsters are earning from $40 to Sl2
a day with their teams, and one Scran-
ton scalper has fifty-four teams at
work.
The breaker where Mr.. Dubuc con-
tracted for coal is one and one-half
miles from the Delaware & Hudson
tracks where it is TO be loaded and the
retail price when il reaches Montpelier
will be S13 or Sl4 a ton.

SWORN STATEMENT.

What j. j. Duffaney Of South Mortified
has to say
"For over twenty years / had not been
able TO breathe through my nose, as ii was
constantly stopped up from catarrh. Fiji
teen years ago last March | took a very
bad cold and asthma set in. For the past
twelve years my friends have been looking
for my death. Ever since | was attacked
with asthma | had been constantly run
ming down in flesh until the doctors and
everyone that knew me said | was fast
going with consumption. My appetite
was gone, so to speak, / was not able to
do anything, my shortness for breath was
very bad and asthma caused me to get ne
breath. And | was unable to 90 to bed
many night; had to sit in my chair, or
bolstered up. In this condition, for
twelve long years ! suffered notwithstand-
ing took every patent medicine l could
hear of for consumption, catarrh or
asthma. Nevertheless | gradually grew
worse until last May, hearing OF the many
wonderful cures being effected by DIR.
Morrow, my brother took me to his Office,
seemingly more dead than alive. My
heart was very weak and palpitated very
badly; liver was very sluggish and my
kidneys troubled me great deal. In this
condition, met DIR. Morrow, who gave
me very careful examination and told me
IL / would strictly follow his directions, he
would cure me, and he has faithfully kept
his word. i now weigh l4o pounds, can
breathe well through my nose, my cough
is gone and ESQ is my asthma and other
troubles. / have followed a threshing
machine the greater part of this fall, and
have felt no return of my asthma and
other troubles, which to me is the greatest
proof in the world that / am permanently
cured. give this testimonial freely and
without solicitation, trusting it may be
the means of bringing some other poor
sufferer where they can obtain relief as
have. Furthermore, | wish TO state that
my son, George, IA years of age, has SUI
fered with asthma since he was two
months old. He had an attack of measles
at that age, and it left him with asthma so
bad that he has been unable to lie down at
night for the last eight years. After
found that l was getting better, | took
him TO DIR. Morrow also. He relieved his
asthma inside of one week and he has
never suffered wifi it since, therefore l
feel doubly grateful to DIR. Morrow and l
am satisfied and know that n YOU will
strictly follow his directions, il he tells
you ne can cure, he can do So
A grateful patient,

supplies the natural juices OF digestion and
