For Probate j udqe.

Mr.. Edtor'-I am heartily in favor of
the reelection of Judge Bliss, and his
Straightforward, squaretoed communica-
ton in your last issue is to be COM
mended. 1t would not be proper for
one holding judicial Office to personally
solicit support, and proper sense of the
fitness of things should deter any other
candidate from doing so. Judge Bliss
need not be alarmed, he has hosts of
friends who will see that he is again
re-nominated and reelected. 1t is an
office that needs sound judgment, abso-
lutte fairness and unquestioned integrity.
Judge Bliss possesses all of these quail
tiles in marked degree. State Auditor
Graham is authority for the statement
that no probate Office in Vermont is
better conducted. What more do we
want? But if such a calamity should
befall the district as the defeat of Judge
Bliss for a denomination, l give you my
word that he will not heap vituperation
and abuse upon those who honestly
opposed him.

Unusual Record of Law Firm.

The recent appointment of Judge
Wendell P. Stafford of the Vermont
supreme court to similar position in
the District of Columbia brings to mind
the remarkable record of the law firm
which he joined when he was admitted
to the bar twenty-one years ago. The
firm was known as Belden, Ide, g.
Stafford and during its brief existance
was one of the ablest firms in that
section of the state.
Henry G. Belden removed to Min
neapolis and was judge of the district
court of Hennepin county the highest
trial court in the state; Henry G. Ide was
first appointed land commissioner and
later chief Justice of Samoa, and is now
secretary of the department of justice
and finance in the Philippine commission
and vice-governor of the archipelago;
Judge Stafford, who has just passed his
43rd birthday anniversary, has been for
four years a member of the highest court
in his native state and is now given
federal judgeship at double the salary.
1t is doubtful if another town in the
United States of 5000 population can
duplicate the record of this st. Johns
bury law firm.

BiII127 Years Old.

w. A. Averill of Warren was in the
city on business today. He has an in
teresting relic in the form of an old six
dollar bill which he found in some old
papers belonging to the late d. Britton,
of whose estate he was executor. The
bill is a small one, little over four
inches long and about three inches wide.
On one side is a picture the details of
which cannot be distinguished. Under
this picture is written the names of the
printers, "Hall and Sellers, 1777, Phila-
delphia." in large script. On the back
is written Continental Currency" on
each side and in the middle, at one side,
another picture over which is the word,
perseverance" At the other side is
the following: This bill entities the
bearer to receive six Spanish milled
dollars or the value thereof in gold or
silver according to resolution of
Congress passed in Philadelphia. No
vember 30, 1775.
Mrs. Britton was "a years old when
she died and the papers in which the
bill was found seemed to be have been
preserved with care. Mr.. Averill thinks
the bill may be of considerable value to
collectors.-Montpelier Daily journal.

Early May Fishing in New Hamp-
shire and Maine.

Good fishing is being reported from
New England's lakes, In New Hamp-
shire last week, in Lake Winnipesaukee
over thirty trout averaging four pounds
apiece were caught, and the salmon are
topping six and a half pounds. New
found Lake is sending forth some likely
samples, and Sunapee has her usual
crowd of callers. In Sebago down in
Maine last week some bouncers weigh
ing IA, 12, 10, 8 and 7! pounds respect
lively were landed. The fishing in all
lakes where the ice has left is first class,
and, from the present outlook, it appears
that Moosehead and Rangeley lakes will
be on the fishing list by the middle of
next week.

An exchange says: "The newly elected
village trustees are conservative business
men, successful in managing their own
affairs and will be as efficient in handling
village business" Right you are. The
old habit, once so prevalent in Vermont
of electing some good fellow, some my.
turn-next man to office, has done more
to make taxes high than all other causes
combined. Elect no man to Office who
cannot manage his own business success
fully.

Stanto Mia n d Stearps.

The political situation in Vermont at
present is so uncertain that predictions
concerning the republican nominations
for governor and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cannot be made with any degree of GER
tainity. In looking carefully over the
field, THE LANDMARK has come to the
conclusion that the Hon. Zed. S. Stanton
of Roxbury and Hon. Charles H. Stearns
of johnson stand as good chance of
being, respectively, the next governor
and Acknowledgements as any of the
other gentlemen named for these two
positions. Mr.. Stanton is type of the
energetic Vermonters who by courage
and perseverance have worked their way
upward. He is not a chronic office seek
er, and whatever positions he has held
have been honorably and honestly at
tanned. Judging by his past experience
in public life he would make governor
whom the whole state would respect and
honor. His elevation to the governor
ship would not necessarily establish a
precedent but would be fitting recogni-
ton of his character and fitness for the
honor.
Nothing can be said against Mr..
Stearns qualifications for lieutenant
governor. His home and county, where
he is personally best known, will tender
him a large support for the nomination
His political record is clean and in every
way honorable. If elected he will fill
the chair to the satisfaction of the people
of the state. White River Junction

Special effort should be made this year
to have every town and county repre-
sented by its best men in the legisla-
ture. The Barre Telegram well says:
"The best men should be selected, and
that, as far as possible, men of expert
ence should be chosen. Senator Proctor
served as member of the lower house
in Vermont after he had been governor
of the State, if we rightly remember,
and he did not lower his prestige there
by, but rather added to it, as we'll as
giving the benefit of his mature wisdom
to the deliberations of the General
Assembly. The presence of few such
men, who are true and tried by long
experience in state craft, might prove q
saving leaven in the coming legisla'
ture."

Vermont Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
indicate somewhat livelier tone of
trade, among the retail business mer-
chants. This is due more or less to the
pleasant wheather; it is little early yet
to look for much improvement in col
lections but there is tendency for
better conditions. The farmers through
out the state have improved their oppor-
tunity and have advanced quite little
with their planting. The receipts
from the sale of maple sugar have
tended to put little more money into
circulation and because of this there has
been gain in collections. The granite
industries throughout the state have been
delayed somewhat on account of insipient
strikes which in most instances lasted
but day or two. Among the manu-
facturers there is an impression that the
general condition of business among the
granite men compares favorably with
that of last year. The manufacturing
industries are still busy with orders and
mills generally are well employed. The
severe cold weather during the winter
has affected the market as far as potatoes
are concerned; many of the farmers lost
good deal by having their stock frozen.
The importation of potatoes from Canada
has been larger this year so far than for
some time. Manufacturers of cheese
and owners of factories have commenced
work during the past week and look for
good business this season.

BREATHE HEALING AIR.
Hyomei Destroys Germs of Catarrh and
Cures the Disease-Money Back fit
Fails.

No other treatment for catarrhal
troubles is as pleasant and convenient to
use as Hyomei. Simply put twenty
drops of Hyomei in the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and then
breathe it for few minutes four times a
day, and it will cure the worst case of
catarrh. In this way, one takes into the
air passages of the head, throat and
lungs air that is filled with balsamic
healing and antiseptic fragrance. 1t
goes to the most remote parts of the air
passages, destroys all catarrhal germs,
and enriches and purifies the blood with
additional ozone.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show decided improvement, and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble with catarrh Its good effects
are quickly gained, and the benefit is
permanent.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
The complete outfit costs but one dollar,
and if, after using you can say that it
did not give satisfaction, w. H. Sheldon
will return your money. You have the
promise of one of the most reliable drug
firms in this section, that Hyomei will
cost you absolutely nothing, if you can
say st did not help" You are to use it
entirely at his risk, with the understand
ing that your money will be returned
without question or argument, if you are
not satisfied with Hyomei.
