worthy items are 100 ton derrick

now installing new $40, 900 air COM

is the best that can be had. Back of
this are "a acres of the best quarry

Has any outside investment, in the
West or elsewhere, any man in Central
Vermont has made in the ten years
last past paid better than this of Mr..
Boutwell,? This question derives en-
phasis and significance from the. cir
cumstance that the development of
the granite business is hampered by
the lack of money. Three times the
amount of business could be done if
there was adequate capital. If the
money sent outside for investment
had been put into this industry at
home, contracts that have gone to
Bethel, Hardwick, and elsewhere
might have been undertaken here.
The men who, like Mr.. Boutwell,,
started with little or no money to
their credit-and the list is long
and notable one--and have made the
business a success, furnish evidence
convincing enough that, west or
east, there is no safer or more
profitable investment than in granite

consider it our business to justify the rea-
Son for any charge that Mr.. Bell had
taken funds from the State which were
not rightly his, but to ascertain whether
that charge was itself true or false.
Therefore all through the long and tedious
consideration of this matter we strictly
held that Interpretation of the statute on
audit or consideration OF the State system

court and the Legislature. What we
wished to report was simple statement
of our findings, based upon an examina-
ton of the vouchers and papers in file.
Every one of the five men who signed the
report has said that the charge against
Mr.. Bell is proved to be wrong. We
leave it there but will now add this much,
that he is not only entitled to an
absolute and unequivocal exonera-
tion as regards that charge but also
entitled to credit from the fact that
his vouchers prove certain kind of
rugged, old-fashioned economy and
care in the discharge of his public

the opinion also that this credit
should be accorded without regard to

abundance, the large squash raised
by Mr.. Phelps occupying prominent

which was finely done and both in

were presented by the pastor to those
who had been constant in attendance

credit is due to those who had the
matter in charge for making it such
an interesting and enjoyable occasion.

On the suggestion of the Boston
Journal, the incoming Legislature,
before its members have taken the
oath of office. before they have heard
in an official capacity syllable Of
the evidence-some of them-have
tried the case of Mrs. Mary A. Rog-
ers, under sentence of death for MUIR
der. and refused to commute the death
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
result of the Journals impudent can-
vass is reported as follows:
OF the legislators interrrogated by
the Journal "a per cent, firmly advo-
Gated hanging the woman, ~ per
cent. were undecided, while only 10
per cent. favored committing her sem

words those who will demand capital
punishment in Mrs. Rogers case, out
numbered those opposed to it about
three TO one, with the 81 percentage
of members remaining an uncertain
factor.
The results is given by percentages,

the board of agriculture to which had
also been assigned the duties of the
board Of cattle commissioners by Act
Z, of the Acts of 1892, during the fis-
cal years ending jane 30, 1901 and

lowing report to the public:
This examination is made in accord
ance with the desire of the said
Charles j. Bell AID other citizens Of
the State to place before the public
facts regarding charges that have been
made against the said Bell, to wit
That during the years mentioned
above he had charged the State for
services he did not render, and had
received from the State money to
which he was not entitled. The
charges were based on the following
figures, on pages 115 and 116 of the BIZ
ennial report of the auditor of ac-
counts of Vermont for the years 1907

My case was almost hopeless. Kodol Dyspepsia cure was recommerd- ed and I used few bottles of it and it is the only thing that has relieved me. Would not be without it.. Have doctored with local physicians and also at Chicago, and even went to Norway
 with hopes of getting some relief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only remedy that has done me any good, and I heartily recommend it. Every per son suffering with indigestion or dys- pepsia should use it." Sold by | R. H. Beers & Co.,, NewtowD; A. B. l Rlakeman. BOtSfOrI.
