Town Representative.


The St. Johnsbury correspondent of the
the Lyndon Union started the question
of electing a town representative next
September and in the last issue said thu
following about business man for the
candidate:
1t has been suggested that good,
substa nt1al business man might be able
to better harmonic the different party
elements than anyone else, as be would
be entirely free from personal interests
and would have the welfare of the public
in general at heart. The high license
and local option element, which is very
strong here, may insist that, as the prlh-
cipIe tor which they worked so hard two
years go won and has been in operation
ever since, and that they should now be
recognized and a candidate of their belief
nominated. If this condition should
arise, Charles A. Calderwood might
obtain the nomination provided he
should desire it. Mr.. Calderwood is well
known as a temperance man. L wo
years ago he was a candidate for repre-
sent alive on the local option and high
license platform, as he strongly believed
that that was the best available method
for doing away with the agency curse.
He was not in favor of saloons here, and
did not vote for their establishment in
this village. Mr.. Calderwood was de-
feated at the polls. but the reform for
which he worked so bard was sue
cesstul and no one can deny but
what the past two years have
been better temperance years than
any similar period under the agency
system. On this account there appears
to be quite feeling here now that MIR.
Calderwood is the most logical candi-
date for town representative the republi-
cans can nominate.

CHARGED WITH SHOOTING HIM.
Mrs. BaiIey's Arrest While Calling on
Her Fiance.

Chicago, June 6.-Nhen Mrs. Rebecca
Bailey called ut the Wesley hospital to
see her iiance, Louis Miller, who had
been taken To the institution probably
fatally wounded by Il bullet, she was
arrested on a charge of shooting him.
AT the time of her arrival the man was
making an ante-mortem statement ac-
cus;nE her and the police were search
ing foI her. With Mrs. Bailey was Miss
Sophia Grahner, who was held as a
witness of the shooting.
Mrs. Bailey and Miller We're to have
been married within week. The shoot
ing took place in Mrs. Bailey's apart
mrnts and it was four hours later be-
fore the police were informed. The man
WAS found by a woman who declares he
said that he had shot himself. He died
later at the hospital.
Mrs. Bailey had fled from the house
and the police found the apartments de-
serted. Mrs. Bailey and Miss Grabner
could not be found. 1t was learned that
the woman had rented the apartments
few days before and that she gave the
name of Mrs. Miller.

FEELING OF SECURITY.
Presence Of American Fleet at Tangier
Has That Effect.

London. June G.-The Times CORE
spondent at Tangier, under date of
June 5. says:
"Thr Sultan's authorization to COM
ply with RaisuliS demands cannot be
received for a day or two. If the Sui
tan fully acquiesces in the demands,
the release of the captives may be ex-
pected shortly, but that by no means
settles the situation for having twice
succeeded in defying Europe and the
Sultan. Raisuli's success will tempt
tribesmen to further outrages.
1.-The presence of the American fleet
affords a temporary feeling of security,
but the moment the fleet is withdrawn,
unless some permanent form of protec-
ton is substituted, the danger will be-
come greater than ever. The European
population is most grateful to the
Americans for having promptly sent
warships. Full confidence is felt that
the American government will not
withdraw until some guarantee shall
have been given that Europe recognizes
the situation and demands energetic
action"

THE AGE.
Nature Notices It.

The younger the child that is allowed
careless diet like tea, coffee too much
candy. etc, the heavier the penalty Ma
turc exacts. Healthy children, on the
other hand. never know what nerves
are. but sometimes we hear of nervous
prOstration even as young as Is or 16.
There was such case in Newark who
says:
although I only used coffee after !
was ID and then only moderately | had
nervous prOstration before l was 20.
They sent me to n sanitarium where
the only treatment got was a change
coffee or tea and after only month of
this treatment | returned home i'll my
normal state of health.
zone morning l thought l would try
just one cup of coffee and later in the
day symptoms of the old nervous trou-
BILE appeared. l said to myself that it
was "a mere coincidence and after a
week 1 tried another cup of coffee. The
same result followed and of course this
convinced me coffee was the cause of
my trouble and must be let alone.
had heard so much about Postum and
when I tried it | found it even better
than had heard. | was happy to think
l had found such a delicious hot meal
time drink l could use in place of coffee,
until it occurred to me that a drink
which is so excellent and so much like
coffee must have some of the effects of
coffee.
$50 / went slow on the Postum at
first until proved that it had no bad
effects like coffee but found that could
drink all | wanted of it and the more
drank the better was Gust the oppo-
site of coffee in every way). l know
now It's because Postum is made of
pure cereals that it is so healthful.
"All who taste Postum at my home
are delighted with it because l follow
the directions and boil it full Is min
utes. But | have known lots of people
who fry Postum once but abandon it
because it was made carelesSly.
MY husband is a physician and he
and all the rest of our household use
Postum regularly and think its flavor
equal to the best coffee. Husband says
it is entirely healthful." Name given

HOPEFUL FEELING
At Washington That Tansier Prisoners
Will Be Liberated.

washington. June "a hopeful feel
ing prevails here over the outcome of
the negotiations for the release of Ion
Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley. The
interest which the French government
is showing is highly pleasing to the
administration. and it is believed that
some definite result of its efforts will
be realized soon.
The authorities have not, however.
lost sight of the fact that Mr.. Perdi-
carts and his stepson are in precari-
Gus situation. Their captOrs are half
wild nomads, whose ignorance of the
mower of the great nations is supreme
In previous incidents of the same kind
they have expedited the forwarding of
ransom money by sending in an ear
or a finger of the captive as u remind
er. and they are not above following
that course in the present instance.
Realizing that Perdicaris and Narley
may come to harm, this government
has notified Raisuli, the bandit chief
that he will pay for it with his life if
the captives are killed or mutilated
The government is in earnest about
this. 1t holds that something should be
uoiIt W sup eit Pi'NsASN ~
ment and ignorant brigands of abduct-
ing foreign citizens or subjects and de-
flying the civilized world by threaten
ing to kill the prisoners if eXtraordin-
ary demands are not complied with.
In some quarters there is feeling
that Raisuli should carry out his threat
to kill Perdicaris and Varley, the slt-
uation would be greatly simplif1ed, as
the result would certainly be the ami
hilation of Raisulrs band and the IN
auguration of an era of order IN MO
rocco. OF course every effort Will be
made to save the prisoners. nut the
government is not deceiving Itself WIN
the belief that they are in no Danger.
1t is thought in the highest official
quarters that should Perdlcarls ana
Varley be killed, France VIII proclaim
a Drotectorate over Morocco on the
ground of the necessity of maintaining
order. While the statement must not
be accepted as authoritive. there is
good reason to believe that such action
bv France would have the approval
of the United States.
Rear Admiral Chadwick, in a tele-
gram sent from Tangier and received
Dy the Navy ueHeii tiiiCit, '"eui N"s
expressed satisfaction over the present
status of the Perdicaris case. The
| presence of seven American warships
at Tangier had had a good effect, but
the Mohammedan people were in a
state Of great religious excitement.
This excitement is understood here to
| he due to the rumors that foreign ma
tons are going to overthrow the Mo-
roccan government. Religious pilgrim
ages are now going on in the country.
and this circumstances has doubtless
added to the perturbation of the Mo-
hammedans.
Admiral Chadwick also says that an
Italian man-of-war had arrived at Tan
| gier and a British warship was expect
ed. In reporting the return of the gun
| boat Marietta he said that her visit
to Gibraltar was merely for the pur-
pose of getting stores.

RUMORS OF SALE.
Said That the Captives Have Been Dis
posed of.

London, June 6.-The fears expressed
at Madrid that the action of the United
States in sending Il fleet to TanSier was
due to the American desire for Il port
on the west coast of Morocco. and the
rumors at the Spanish capital of an eX-
change of notes between the European
powers with the view to obtaining as
surances that the American action VIII
he confined to liberating Messrs. Ion
Perdicaris and Cromwell Marley arc not
shared and are not confirmed at the
Spanish embassy here. Nor has Am
bassador ChOate heard anything of the
exchange of notes mentioned by La
CORRESPONDENCE De Espania.
The Spanish government appears to
be acting i'm perfect harmony with
Great Britain and the United States
and no apprehension is expressed in
Spanish circles that the United States
has any designs except to ensure the
safety of Mr.. Pcrdicaris, an American
citizen.
The dispatch of the Spanish battle
ships to Tangier, 1t is pointed out at the
Spanish embassy, was rendered essen
tial by the large number of Spanish
subjects resident both in Morocco and
in the Spanish territory on the north
west coast of Africa. Some fears arc
expressed that general rising in Mo-
rocco might cusue in the event of hasty
action by an outside power, but it Is
believed that if France is not hampered
she will be able to secure the release
of the captives.
The rumor of the suggested sale of
the Philippine islands to Japan re-
ceiyes no credence here.
