or both, in the discretion OF the court
The respondent claimed that this section
was unconstitutional because it provided
no maximum penalty and fixed the mini
mum penalty so high that the court could
not use its discretion in the matter. The
court held that the matter of fines being
hAed according To the offence was a cues
ton that the legislature might settle AS
well as court. 1t also held that the min
lmum line was not excessive. that the
failure to provide a maximum penalty
was unimportant, and that the law was
constitutional Pro forma judgment is
adverse to the respondent and cause re-
manded.

IN OUR OWN STATE.
ENOUGH TO PAY THE STATE DEBT.
Vermont viii Receive from National
Treasury over $3.50, 900 on an Old War

Vermont Will Receive from National
Treasury over s2so,ooo on an Old War
Claim.
ON Tuesday the Senate of the United
states passed a bill providing for the
payment of a certain sum to the state
of Vermont to reimburse it for arms and
equipment purchased during the civil
war
In 1861, Congress passed an act. au-
thorizing the payment by the treasurer
or the United States to the governor of
any state of the expenses of such state
incurred by reason of the enrolling sub
shutting, paying, clothing and equipping
its troops employed in suppressing the
instruction against the United States. 3"
The treasury department ruled there
after that this act conferred no authority
Tor the repayment Of interest paid upon
money borrowed by the state for such
expenses, and declined to refund to the
several states, the money so paid for in
tcrest
The amount due the state of Vermont
on account OF moneys so paid for inter
est exceeds the sum of two hundred
sevcnty-five thousand dollars.
In 1925 Governor Edward G. Smith and
State Auditor Orin NJ Barber by virtue
of Joint resolution of the Senate and
House OF Representatives were appointed
agents for the state of Vermont to pre-
sent prosecute and recover this claim
In June of 1902. the claim was adjusted
ana allowed in the sum Of $3.50 i53.56 and
included in the deficiency bin passed AT
the session of congress following. \ war
rant for the amount was forwarded in
the order of business to the governor of
vermont but before it could be presented
for payment, the question was raised as
to whether charge of $543 7S0.23 against
the state of Vermont in the war depart
ment ought not to offset against the
amount due the state. and accordingly
payment was stopped upon the warrant
so iSSued to the state as aforesaid the
item of charge being for arms and am
muntion furnished by the United States
to equip military organized in Vermont
after the st. Adams raid in 1864. and for
the purpose of aiding in the suppression
of expected operations along the northern
frontier of the United States by the in
surgent organization then carrying on a
war against the Union. This militia was
organized upon the assurance that the
war department would furnish the nee
essary equipment but was unable to do
so and 1t was furnished by the state at
an expense of about $40. 900 Prior to
1872. the claim Of the United States was
twice presented to the state for payment.
This money. which is now assured is
enough to wipe out all the public debt of
the state and have a balance in the
treasury.

Or. GrinneIl Awarded $12,5oo

a verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff was
rendered in New York city Friday in the
suit for $4,000 damages for false arrest by
DR. \. +. Grinnell of Burlington against
Edward w. Weston Justice TruaX in
structed the jurors to use their own dis
erection in deciding whether or not Wes-
ton had acted with prudence in causing
DR. Grinnells arrest at the Grand Cen
trail station. If he did not act with pru-
dence then the verdict to be returned
would be for compensatory damages,
whereas if they concluded from the evil
dence that there was malice shown on the
part of the defendant, then a verdict for
punitive damages would be the proper
finding. DR.. Grinnell was mistaken for
one Ed S. Raymore, a swindler, and his
arrest followed.

Congressman John J.. Sheppard. Mel

THERE are two things that the whole
L medical profession agree about con-
corning ca;arrh. The first is that ca
tarrh is the most prevalent and omnipres-
emit disease to which the people In the
United States are subject. All classes
Of people have it. Those who stay in
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, Is that it is diff
ficult to cure it. Local remedies NAV
give relief but they fail to cure per-
manenuy. Sprays or snuffs amount to

little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter-
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this
IL known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at Its
source, to eradicate 1t permanently
from the system-this has been the do
sire of the medical profession for q long
time. Forty years ago DR.. Hartman
confronted this problem. he believed
then that he had solved 1t. He still be-
lieves he has solved 1t. He cures thou
sands of people annually. During all
these years Peruna has been the remedy
upon which he has relied.
1t was at first private prescription.

The negro was on plantation on

How Dean Swift Rebuked a Foppish
Printer.

Dean Swift was one day visited
by a Dublin printer who had just
returned from London and was
dressed in a rich coat of silk and
gold lace. He seemed so proud of
his dres; that Swift resolved to
humble him. When he entered the
room, the printer saluted the dean
as an old acquaintance. The dean
pretended that he did not know
him. said that he was an impostor
and babe him leave the house. The
printer saw the mistake which he
had made and returning home he put
on his usual dress. Then he again
went to the dean, and this time was
warmly welcomed.
"Ah, George" said the dean, q
am SO glad to see you, for there has
been an impudent fop here in silks
and gold lace, who wanted to pass
himself off for you, but | knew you
to be always a plainly dressed, hon
