BUSH in LYON.
Opens Up On Cook With New
and Most Serious Charges.
AS Usual Judge Cook Admits the
Facts and Tries to Explain
Them Away.

In the joint discussion at Eddy
vile Monday, Judge Bush brought
some new matter into his speech.
There was a noisy minority of Cook
men in the large crowd present,
but Bush clearly had large ma
jority of the voters with him. The
applause given him was general
and liberal.
Judge Bush nailed Judge Cook
about illegal allowances to his
brother-ln-law Master Commission
er in Galloway county and about
his tampering with the Galloway
county grand jury. He did not de-
ny that the allowances were ex-
cessive IN a single case referred to
in the Galloway Times, or that the
excessive allowances reached near.
ly $500 in 30 cases, but claimed in
a general way that his allowances
had been no more than those made
by his predecessors and said fur
Their that in some cases the allow
ances were fixed by the attorneys
in the cases. Bush urged that
that was no excuse, that it was the
duty of the court to protect liti-
giants, many of whom were widows
and orphans, and not allow them
to be imposed upon by lawyers.
Bush said it was funny argument
for Cook to be making, as he had
been urging that the lawyers, or
some of them, we're against him be-
cause they could not control him.
He said that he took all the grand
jurors from the wheel and selected
the number required because be
wanted to get grand jurors from al
over the coanty, when in fact FIVE
of them were within radius of 3 u
miles and three others were in II
miles of each other. Bush charged
that after making up his jury un.
lawfully, he put a special judge on
the bench and went to Trigg county
to fill his appointments, but on the
following Saturday a motion was
made to set aside some verdict be,
cause returned by an illegal grand
jury. That motion be said, was tc
have been acted on by Special
Judge Flournoy, but Cook was
summoned back from Trigg county
and he left his appointments and to
prevent the special judge from
passing on that motion, resumed
the bench and stayed there until
court adjourned. Bush asked him
why he left his appointments and
went back when there was a spe-
cial Judge on the bench and he said
be "had reasons" for it,
The Kentuckian has information
that Lyon county is in good shape
for Bush and will after the speak
ing this week be safe for him. Mr.,
Bush is expected home today and
will spend the rest of the time in
Christian county.

The Trading sta mp.
tSt. Adams Messenger. I


There is an argument against the trad
ing stamp that does not appear to have
figured in the recent discussion of that
subject by Vermont newspapers, and that
is that SO far from being an advantage
to the customer to receive tickets that
entitle him to a premium on a purchase
made, it would be better for the customer
to know that the price of that premium
WAS included in the value of his original
purchase and then there would be no
need of any premium at all. The price
of that premium comes out of somebody
defend upon it, ana the last analysis
shows it to be the customer himself. who
not only pays for "a reasonable profit on
his first purchase, but for a profit on the
premium too. .rhc giving away of a
premium with a purchase is equivalent to
an admission that the original purchase
is not worth, into the price of that pre-
MUM, what was paid for it,

A Democratic Opinion,

Harper's Weekly, edited by an Inde-
pendent Democrat says: There Is no
doubt that the province of Panama has
as good a right legally, and better right
morally, to secede from Colombia than
Venezuela and Ecuador had in the third
decade of the last century or than Texas
had in the fourth decade to secede from
Mexico. Moreover, the treaty of 1876
simply binds us to maintain tranquility
and order on the isthmus and to protect
the political entity which happens there
to be established against European as
sault. If we do now what We ought al
ways to have done. when the state of Pan
anna has revolted against Bogota opres-
sion, and prohibit Colombia from com
hitting a breach of the peace on the 18TH
mus we are but suubserving the primary,
humane, and honorable purpose for which
the treaty of 1916 was framed"

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
Is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located,

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
TO at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken 20 prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure 10
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.
Mrs. NJ. X. Bousch, Richmond, Va,
writes: al had catarrh all through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. 1 was advisad to try Peruna and
1 have taken five bottles Of it and am
well and better now than have been
for years. 1 can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part of the body to
take Peruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before 1 began to
take Peruna l was sick all the time, but
now am entirely cured, and all praise
is due Peruna."-Mrs. NJ. K. Bousch.
Catarrh of the Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
a severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh of the Throat.
B. II. Runyan, Salesville, o., writes:
81 suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. 1 was induced to try
Peruna. 1 have used five bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. II. Runyan.
Catnrrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1SS Beech street,
Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middle ear. 1 feel better than have
for several years. "-Archie Godin.

FALLS NEWS
CONNECTICUT RIVER BRIDGE.
First steps Taken Toward the Erection
of a New Structure Between Bellows
Falls and North WalpoIe.

Of New Structure Between Bellows
Falls and North WaIpoIe.
THE matter of better bridge connec-
lions between this village and North
Walpolc is making progress At a meet
ing of citizens of the two villages in con-
ucction with the selectmen of Walpole.
hcd Friday afternoon, the matter was
freely discussed by the large number
present at the Russell Memorial han
The question was as to the location of
the highway to reach a proposed bridge
while in reality it was a question of the
location of the bridge. The international
Paper company and the Bellows Falls
Canal company object to an additional
rier i'm the river above the Boston q
Maine bridge, and argue the feasibility
OF % location below the bridge. This
would mean an unpleasant crossing of
all the tracks of each road in the rail-
road yard, and, although the meeting
developed some advocates, il is not at
an probable this location will be chosen
The remaining alternative would be an
extensive suspension bridge to avoid the
pier above the present railroad bridge.
No decision was reached, and another
meeting will be held early next month
If built above the railroad bridge. either
q suspension or pier bridge the Bellows
Falls end will be near Russell Park at
the junction Of Green and Rockingham
streets Saturday afternoon a special
meeting of the voters of Walpole was
held at Walpole village, attended by over
325 voters. Again the matter was freely
discussed, and the feeling of ACCESSIBILITY
and actual necessity of a bridge was
seemirglyt unanimous. y committee con-
sistiug OF the board of selectmen, to-
gethcr with II. y. Perry, f. X Sea-

Report That 30 Employees in the Office
viii Be Transferred to New York.

The past two days. New York papers
have given to Bellows Falls residents
the knowledge of what seems an i'm
portant business change which will be of
much disadvantage to this village. 1t
is stated that the directors of the CaSein
Company of America, whose head offices
ale in New York but whose extensive
works here have been growing rapidly
the past six or seven years, the local
office force having increased to about
So voted last week in New York to dis
continue the whole Bellows Falls Office
force, transferring the clerical business
and a portion of the Office employees to
New York, about January l. The local
officials are very reticent regarding the
matter, claiming another meeting of the
directors is to be held and a possibility
of the plan being vetoed We have the
best authority for stating that either
six or seven heads of departments have
received instructions to report in New
York in January, and the remainder are
probably out of employment from that
date. This change in no way affects the
manufacturing plant, which has employees
to the number of about 1875. 1t is I'M
derstood that among those who have been
called to New York are c. j. Anderson,
Fred ~ II. Blossom and Robert Shelley.
Further details are being looked for with
interest as it means material decrease
in the citizenship of Bellows Falls and of
an advantageous class.
