LAUNDRY NOTICE.
Candee will send out laundry from
news stand every Monday. 2stf

There is more catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constant failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incura BILE.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.

The Korean Language.

Korean is difficult language to
learn. Trifing errors are likely to lead
a foreigner into great embarrassment.
1t was only the smallest mistake that
led an impassioned preacher to warn
his congregation that unless they re-
pented they would be relegated to "a
cellar" the Korean words for cellar
and the neither world being almost
Identical. In like manner the story
Of Lazarus, who fell sick, was told to
Sunday school class with an unau-
thorized ending. The native form of
expression is entering q sickness"
and by trifing confusion the teacher
was made to declare that Lazarus en-
tered bottle.

A TARTAR TRICKSTER.
The Way He Tried to Sell a valise to
Foreigner.

The Way He Tried to Sell valtse to
Foreigner.
At the annual fair in Mini Novgorod
/ stepped with German-R Russian
friend into saddlery, where he wish
ed to purchase a valise. He picked
out one for which the Tartar mer-
chant named a price that was evident
ly much In excess Of its real value. My
friend was making the usual feint un-
der such circumstances of leaving the
store when he noticed that the dealer,
with rapid movement, stuck a paper
In the outside pocket Of his valise. Not
being a greenhorn In Russia. he knew
Immediately what the Tartar was up
TO.
But, BARN." said the latter, calling
him back, come. Look at the leather
and the lining. silk all through. Please
examine 1t carefully" He handed the
valise again to my friend and turned
back to his stock. apparently looking
for other satchels to show. With sly
wink my friend extracted a ten ruble
note from the outer pocket of the va
Use and hid 1t In bis hand Then he
said: Don't trouble yourself any long
err This valise seems to be what you
say 1t is, and 1 will take it"
The Tartar grinned broadly as he
turned around, satisfied that his little
trick had succeeded. Then while my
friend pretended to count out the pur-
chase price he took hold once more Of
the valise in order accidentally to dis
cover the bank note in it l shall new
er forget his eyes, which bulged out of
their sockets, or the petrified smile on
his face when he found his money
gone. He was so bewildered that he
stammered like n drunken man.
1.-THE fellow really ought to get les
son." my friend said to me In German,
while he kept the trickster in suspense
for several minutes before handing
him back the bank note, together with
the valise, which the dealer now Of
fered for less than half of what he had
demanded before-Sigmund Kranz in

Mrs. Lee Injured in the Wreck.

Five passengers were seriously in
jured, one of them being so badly hurt
that she was not at first expected to live,
and three cars were demolished as the
result of an accident w hich occurred on
the Burlington and Lamoille division of
the Central Vermont railway Saturday
morning. The injured are:-
Mrs. G. u. Bickford, wife of a promi-
nent granite manufacturer of Hardwick.
She suffered conclusion of the brain
and is injured internally. She was
taken to her home in Hardwick Monday.
Mrs. Bickford was going from Hardwick
to Bennington and was to have sailed
early IN April for Europe in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Holden of Ben
nington.
Mrs. H. NJ. Lee, of Middlebury, several
ribs broken.
Guy H. Start, of Bakersfield, son of
Judge Start, ribs fractured.
Henry A. Stimson, of johnson, back
and hips injured.
and shoulder injured.
Mrs. ID. f. johnson, of Essex, and Mrs.
E. Hill, slightly injured.
The accident was caused bv the
spreading of the rails. The train had
been run over the road from Burlington
to Cambridge Junction a short time
before the accident and the track was
apparently in good condition.
The accident occurred about two miles
this side of Cambridge junction at a
point known as Hogs Back, where there
is a sharp curve. The engine left the
track, but was not overturned. The
three cars, consisting of a combination
baggage and smoker and two passengers,
were thrown from the track and rolled
down bank, about 80 feet high. to the
banks of the Lamoille river, the only
thing that prevented them from going
through the ice being row of elm trees
against which the cars were lodged
There were about twenty passengers ON
the train in addition to the train crew
They were tossed about frightfully as
the cars rolled down the embankment
and MIR. Stimson was pinned to the floor
of the car by broken seat. None of the
train crew were injured.
Henry Lee left on the mail train Satlr-
day afternoon for Cambridge. where he
was called by a telegram that his wife
was quite seriously hurt in the wreck.
Mrs. Lee had been to Wolcott, where
she was called several days ago by the
death of niece, and was on her way
home.
Later reports from the wreck show
that George Westcott, aged about 20. of
Waterville, was quite seriously hurt
He fell through window and his back
was badly injured, and his face and
hands cut

Hardwick' New Power Plant.

I. 7. Daniel has just completed his
electric power plant. His power is OBJ
tanned from four ponds, in two of which
water can be stored East Long Pond
can be raised 20 feet above low water
level and Nichols Pond nine feet. This
assures 500 horsepower all summer, if
the rains equal the evaporation. At the
power house there is a head of 76 feet
which can be raised to 1T feet by tubing
back to the Mackvile Pond. Power is
furnished by a Mccormack twin draft
wheel, the wheels having diameter of
twelve inches and making 900 revolu-
tions minute. The water enters be-
tween them and goes out each side in
two draft tubes. The alternating cur
rent developed is sent two miles over
four wires; 31S horse power can be
developed at present. This can be raised
to 800 by going back to the higher level
Mr.. Daniel now Uses 40 horse power by
steam at an annual cost of $50 per horse
power. He now has over three hundred
horsepower to use and to rent at half
that price. This means an addition of
more than $50 horsepower to that now
employed in Hardwick. all of which will
be used in granite working. Hardwick

Col. Milo Smith Dead.

Col. Milo Smith died at Clinton, Iowa,
March, 18th. He was born in Shoreham,
Vt, Jan. %, 1919, and was well known
in this county. The Clinton Daily Her
aid devoted nearly column on its first
first page to an appreciative sketch of
his life from which we take the follow
ing:
cat the age of 81 he came west to
Chicago and during three successive
winters taught school at Belvidere
Ill,
In 1S4S. when the first railroad en-
terprise was originated west of Chicago,
he accepted the contract to make the
survey on the old Elgin State line rail
road, known as the Galena and Chicago
Union, and in 1852 was appointed chief
engineer and superintendent of the same
road. In 1855 he came to Iowa and was
made the chief engineer of the Chicago,
Iowa and Nebraska railroad with head
quarters at Clinton.
The first survey was not accepted, and
most of the party returned to their
homes, but Col. Smith remained in
Clinton and made a new survey and
estimates, about on the route of the
present Northwestern line west. Col.
Smith eventually completed the work
and on January IS, 1853, received a
personal letter from the Chicago, Iowa
and Nebraska railroad conveying resolu-
tons passed by said company, recog-
nizing the ability, prudence and econ
omy of Milo Smith as their chief engi-
neer. During the financial panic of
1857 and dull years following, Col
Smith carried the company safely
through the crisis, and on to success.
His later work was in the survey and
building of the immediate track west
of Cedar Rapids for the Cedar Rapids
and Missouri River railroad.
Coming to Clinton when there was no
Clinton, he believed in her future and
the possibilities of the great west. He
has seen Clinton grow from the first
meal shanty on the site of the present
Milwaukee depot to its present prosper
ity, and in his declining years has ever
had voice and a heart in her future;
he has seen the railroads increase, has
personally assisted is their making, in
the bridging of the Mississippi until the
completion of the routes to the coast
were well under way"
He enlisted in the Goth Iowa infantry
and was chosen colonel. He was with
this regiment under Grant in all the
campaigns in the west; at Vicksburg;
with General Sherman at Chickasaw,
Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, on the
March to the Sea, etc.
Although twice wounded, his rugged
constitution enabled him to recover, and
he became once more prominent in civil
life.
He was the first vice president of the
Clinton National bank; for short period
had charge of the Revere house, and
when the General n. b. Baker post of
the G. A. r. was organized was its first
commander. His interest in this body
has never waned, and on his S5th birth
day he attended a meeting of the post.
In 1887 the Soldiers Home at Mar
shalltown was placed in the hands of a
commission, who elected Col. Smith as
the first commandant He remained
there in the discharge of his duties fol
five years, then returned to Clinton.
Col. Smith is survived by his wife
his niece, Miss Ethel Estabrook, and
nephew, w. L. Smith, with other dis
tant relatives residing elsewhere.
