BEAN TELLS
HIS STORY
Accused Rochester Man Takes
Stand in His Own Behalf.

Woodstock, Jan, 2l.- When Wind
sor county court re-assembled this
morning the State put in a little testi-
mony in its case against Joseph Bean
charged with the murder of Ephraim
Root, Oct. II, 1908, tending to show
that B. F. Hubbard at whose house
Bean stopped the night of the killing
of Root, had an old hay rack in.which
her were stakes which the State claim
ed were similar to the stake or club in
evidence, a silver from which was
found near the place where Roots
body was found.
The defence called two witnesses,
one to impeach "Boney" Martell, the
other to testify to Beams peaceable
character. The respondent was then
put on the stand. The queer express
ion of his eyes to which reference is so
often made is caused by the fact that
one OF his eyes is an artificial one. He
is 43 years old. The testimony brought
out the following.
He told of his relations with Green,
said that when they dissolved partner
ship there as joint debt and he was
afraid if Green went into partnership
with Root the prospects for the pay
ment of the debt would be slight. He
had heard that Root was going into
partnership with Geeen and. to that ex-
tent he had spoken against Root and
in no other way.
He admitted having talked with "Bo-
ney" Martell but said that it was alb
out Martell coming to work for him.
He never tried TO hire Martell to kill
Root; never had any such intention
himself; did not in fact Kill Root. lie
did not know how Root came to his
death. He admitted borrowing Frank
Hubbard's rifle, but said it was for the
purpose of shooting hedgehogs on
which there is a bounty.
The relvolver in thiscase was his re-
volver and was procured from his
brother in Springfield. He said he
never showed the revolver 10 "Boney"
Martell and had never shown "Boney"
any money, or said to him, Here is
your money when you do the job y
meaning by the killing of Root.
The direct examination of Bean
closed at 3:l5 O'Clock and the cross ex-
animation was taken up after ten
minutes recess. Bean accounts for
his whereabouts on the night of the
killing of Root by saying he went to
the Hubbard barn after supper and
got his coat after which he lay down
on the hay and fell asleep. He did
not waken until after dark when he
went into the house and went to bed.

THE NEW PASTOR
What the Belfast Journal Says Of Rev George
s. Mills.

S. Mills.
The Belfast, Me-, Journal has the
following to say of Rev George S.
Wills who has accepted the pastorate
OF the Second Congregational church
here:
"The resignation of Rev George S.
Mills as pastor Of the North church
causes sincere regret in the community
generally. While his church loses an
able and conscientious minister, Bel
fast loses a good citizen. This was
Mr. Mills first charge. Soon after as
suming the pastorate of the North
church he married and brought his
bride here, and for nearly nine years
this has been his home.
They have been identified with our
social as we'll as our religious life,
and have made many warm
friends whose best wishes will ever
attend them. 1t is pleasing to them to
know that Mr. Mills is to go to a strong
we'll organized church, with a large
membership and a field that offers
good opportunities for work; and to
know also that while he feels compelled
to accept these increased responsible
tiles and duties, both he and Mrs Mills
deeply regret leaving Belfast, to which
they are attached by as many tender
ties and associations. Thus the re-
grets are mutual, and the good wishes
also.

$28O,OOO FOR
VERMONT
Enough to Wipe out All the
State Debt.
FROM THE GOVERNMENT
The Money Is to Reimburse the
State for Funds II Spent in
the Civil War.
FROM THE GOVERNMENT

On Tuesday the senate of the United
States passed bill providing for the
payment OF a certain sum to the state
OF Vermont to reimburse II for arms
and equipment purchased during the
Civil War.
In 1861, congress passed an act,
authorizing the payment by the treas
urer of the United States TO the COVER
nor Of any state of the expenses of
such state incurred by reason OF the
enrolling, subsisting, paying, clothing
and equipping its troops employed in
suppresslng the instruction against
the Unite2 States"
The Treasury department ruled
thereafter that this act conferred no
authority for the repayment of interest
paid upon money borrowed by the
state for such expenses, and declined
to refund to the several states, the
money so paid for interest.
The amount due the state of Yer
mont on account of moneys so paid
for interest, exceeds the sum OF two
hundred seventy. hve thousand dollars
In 1898, Governor Edward C. Smith
and State Auditor Orin NJ. Barber, by
virtue of joint resolution OF the S en-
ate and House Of Representatives, ap-
pointed agents for the state of Yer
mont to present, prosecute and recov-
er this claim.
In June of 1902, the claim was ad-
justed and allowed in the sum of $780,
453.56, and included in the deficiency
bill passed ct the session Of congress
following. A warrant for the amount
was forwarded in the order OF business
to the governor of Vermont, nut before
it could be presented for payment, the
question was raised as to whether a
charge of s543, 1923 against the state
of Vermont in the war department.
ought not to Offset against the amount
due the state, and accordingly pay
ment was stopped upon the warrant so
issued to the state as aforesaid, the
item OF charge Jeing for arms and am
munition furnished by the United
States to equip militia organized in
Vermont after the St Albans Raid in
1864, and for the purpose of aiding in
the suppression OF expected operations
along the northern frontier of the Uni
ted States by the insurgent organiza-
tion then carrying on war against
the Union. This militia was organ
lied upon the assurance that the war
department would furnish the necessary
equipment but was unable to do so and
it was furnished by the state at an ex-
pense of about $4,000. Prior to 1892,
the claim of the United States was
twice presented to the state for pay
ment.
This money which is now assured,
is enough to wipe out all the public
debt Of the state and have balance
in the treasury,

ST CLAIR'S FAST SON.
McKinlsy's Record Surprise To Michigan
hOrSemen.

The Grand Rapids, Mich, Herald
of Jan. II had the following relative
to the fast young horse, Mckinley,
sired by George st Clair, the we'll
known stallion owned by II. E. Bur
CESS:
The talk OF Michigan horsemen this
year has been the wonderful work of
the Holland trotter, Mckinley, owned
by Il. Boone, Breaking into fast COM
pany, he made the Grand circuit last
season and closed with one of the
cleanest records any horse has ever
been known to make. Two seasons be-
fore he raced over the Michigan cir
cult, beating every horse he was enter
ed against, and driven by little John
ME Boone, his masters son.
Johnnie Boone has been horseman
ever since he was in kits, and his
fame spread far and wide in 1902, when
hs drove the bay gelding all through
the short-ship circuit and won every
race in which he started. Large horse
breeders and owners of long strings
offered the lad fabulous wages to work
for them, but the boy loved Mckinley
and stayed by him.
Ed Bunyon, the trainer OF the great
stable Of L. V. Harkness, who drove
Mckinley in his two grand victories
at Lexington, Kentucky, last season
says he is one of the best goers he ev-
er sat behind. He would not be sur
prised at any improvement the horse
may show next season, and expressed
a belief that the horse will eventually
develop a two minute trotter.
Last season, until the memorable
Mcdowell stake won by Monte Carlo,
Mckinley trotted the best averaged
three heats of the year in the Grand
circuit at Columbus in 2:O7 Ii, 2:O7 l.2
2:071.2
While Mckinley is a Michigan pro-
duct, he is, through his sire, Kentucky
bred. The latter was George ST Clair.
with record OF 2:l5 IA trotting and
2:l0 IA pacing. George st Clair was
bred by w. L. Simmons OF George
Wilkes fame, and is inbred to George
Wilkes. McKinley's dam, Maggie BIS
pedigree is untracked.

Consumption
Mainly Caused by Chronic Colds and
Hanging-on Coughs.

A member of Knights Pharmacy
Co. has given good deal of time to
the study of consumption, and finds
that comparatively few cases are
hereditary.
Mostly all are caused by neglected
coughs and colds, which gradually
weaken the whole pulmonary system,
and before people realize il there is a
diseased spot in one lung; splitting
blood soon follows and eventually a
collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such a
pity, for all could have been so differ
ent. We know of hundreds of cases
where our wonderful cod liver oil
preparation, Vinol. has saved a young
and valuable life. which without it
would have been sacrificed. We have
letters from people who were given
mp to die. and who positively state
that Vinol. and Vinol alone. saved
their lives when all else had failed to
help them.
Vinol is able to cure hanging on
colds and stubborn coughs. because it
IS the most perfect preparation of cod
liver oil ever compounded; it contains
no oil or grease to upset the delicate
stomach. vet it does contain every one
of the fifty odd medicinal curative ele-
nents actually taken from fresh Gods
liVcrs and we freely and publicly
state that we will supply all the Vinol
we think necessary to cure any case
of chronic coughs. hanging-on colds
or weak and debilitated conditions of
Savannah people, and pay for the
medicine ourselves If it fails to give
satisfactory results.
How can we express cur faith in
Vinol more emphatically? knights
