Our hearty congratulations to
Judge Powers of Lamoille county.
Another recognition of the younger
men, and one that needs no excuse

good judgment and personal at
tractiveness. We doubt not he will
ably fill the place left vacant by the
promotion of Judge Stafford.

A Happy Crowd.

a happy crowd was seen coming
up Jefferson street to the Court
house this morning. Any person who
saw them could easily tell that there
would be a wedding shortly. There
were about half dozen of them and
they were all talking and laughing in
such degree that the worthless
curs that gnaw bones on the Court
house lawn forgot to growl. The
crowd wended its way to the County
Clerks office. where the license was
issued. The smile that played on
that young mans face when he saw
the picture at the top of the license,
is still flying through the air in the
clerks office. After obtaining the
license the procession moved off to
hunt a, priest, where those two hearts
that have been beating as one for the
past few months, were welded to-
gether SO that they can, never. beat
any other way.

FOUR TINES
WAS THE CURRENT TURNED ON
BEFORE NOSE JOHNSON
WAS PRONOUNCED
DEAD.
THE CRIME FOR WHICH HE
PAID THE PENALTY WAS
MOST BRUTAL
ONE.

OHIO PENITENTIARY, COLUM-
BUS, Ohio, June 1S.-NIose Johnson
colored, was executed at 1880 Sat
urday morning. The victim was in
the chair for IS minutes, and during
that time the currentswas turned into
him four times. While the electrical
apparatus did not cause death instant
1y as in cases prior to the execution
of Schiller Thursday night the scenes
enacted then were not repeated. me
doctors profited by their experience
of Thursday night, and rather than
be compelled to place the prisoner
back into the chair after he was de-
clared dead, they waited a sufficient
length of4ctime to prove conclus1Yely
that there was not a spark of life IN
the body. Heretofore, the physicians
have relied alone upon their ears to
learn if there were heart beats, but
on this occasion the 2stethoscope was
brought into use and after the first
charge that instrument revealed faint
pulsations. No one can give an ade-
quate explanation of the failure OF
the current to do deadly work in
the first charge, as is usually the case,
and the only cause ascribed is that
the men were of strong resisting
power.
Nose johnson was convicted of the
murder of Edward Test, an insurance
agent in Portsmouth, Ohio, on the
night Of October 17,.1903.
Test had gone to the residence of
Mrs. Sarah Callum to collect the pre-
MUM on an Insurance policy when
johnson and a man named Rufus
Burcham, installing Test for friend
of Mrs Cullum, broke into the house
and attacked him. A fierce struggle
ensued, during which Test was stab
bed FIVE times and was begging his
assailants to spare his life when John
son fired two shots into his back and
left him to die. Burcham is serving
a life sentence.

ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS BUTTONS


Did he say that he will accept the
nomination.
mo, he did not, but say SO. You'll
see many more buttons like it here
in a short while"
Sentiment here appears to be all
Fairbanks. 1t is not an uprising on
his behalf but simple belief that
he will be nominated and that there
is no use Of further worrying. Sena-
tor Foraker said: II do not think
there is any doubt about the nomina-
ton of Fairbanks"
The Hit boom does not appear to
be taking hold. His illness is unfor-
tunate for his boom, since his age, and
the attendant possibility of infrmity
is one of the strongest arguments
used against him.

which is kept an annual in Egypt has roaohal
nearly it's probable maximum of prodno+;on
there; that India must be counted ont booo.
Of the unsatisfactory character of the cotton ~

American seed is an insignificant factor. +lo.
the Chinese staple is too short; that the nro4oo+
of the west coast of Africa is wholly unfit to +oLo
the place of the Americans and that no cons;don

He adds that on the high pampas of the Para
quay and Parana Rivers is the one section Of +bo
earth where competition with the Southern States
can develop, but that it will require at least half
a century for such a situation to develop"
Fer the farmer who makes most Of his SIM
plies at home and plants a reasonable acreage in
cotton, the outlook is decidedly encouraging, But
the probability of continued high prices is not
so strong and unshakable as to warrant a return
to the old one crop system from which the South
once suffered so grievously.
