Stanton made was when he came into
the state committee room and said

WOODWORK WORTH 100000

Many years ago the oak fittings
of Winchester college, England,
we're sold for less than $1,000 to =
clergyman in Cornwall. There were
panelings, seats, chimney pieces and
other work all richly carved by the
facetiously named Grinding Gibbons.
London Truth says that this collec-
ton of priceless carving has now
been sold for 100000 to a Mr..
Cooper, who last year purchased
Hursley Park, the ancestral seat of
the Heathcotes, where it will find an
appropriate home. About the same

The old style Indians still are pic

attempt was made to force the allot-

Nation recently. This action aroused

never do anything in Il hurry. One

to force it, and advised adjourn.

Along Business Career.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter
prints an excellent sketch Of Hon.
Carroll S. Paige Of Hyde Park on
the occasion Of his tittieth anniver-
sar7 Of his business career, referring
also to his interest in public affairs,
and says:
"Mr. Pages business career is too
well known to the trade to Call Tor
comment here, but in the midst of
his business he has found time to
take an interest in public affairs. He
is president of two banks and a di-
rector in the St. ,Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain Railroad Company. He
has represented his county in the
Vermont general assembly as repre-
sentative and senator, and for two
years was governor Of Vermont, fill
ing the office with signal ability.
For some years he was an inspector
of finance and had supervision of
the Vermont Savings Banks. In all
these responsible positions with
which his state has honored him he
has proved a worthy statesman

Terrible Cruelty to Cows.

Mrs. Jennie B. Powers of Brattle-
boro was in Londonderry last week
investigating one OF the worst cases
of cruelty to animals that she has
ever had in her long experience.
Accompanied by Constable Dudley
she visited the barns of H. H. Har-
mond last Friday and found seven
cows in a horrible condition. They
had been kept all winter in barn
full OF cracks. One cow had frozen
both ears and portion Of its tail,
and two cows and one calf had
starved to death during the winter,
Hammond turning his hogs into the
barn to eat the carcasses. He was
arraigned before Justice Dean and
fined SIS, and costs, and ordered to
clean the barns aud bury the bodies
of the dead animals. Much more
severe punishment ought to have
been his. Mrs. Powers has spent a
part of the week in Newfane in con-
nection with the Merton Doolittle
cruelty case which is set for trial this
term.

We gather from Il few paragraphs
culled from late issues of the Rut-
land News that the prohibition de-
creed by the March meeting has: not
banishcd rum from the portals Of that
city:
"The amount OF bottled liquor
drinking in this city has increased
alarningIy since the close of the
licensed saloons Saturday night, the
evidence of this being the large
number of empty bottles which is
found every morning on the public
streets and IN Railways along Cen
ter street and Merchants Row."
"The officers report that there is
quite Aourishing "boot-leg" bust
ness in liquors in this city since mo-
license took effect"
"Thcre is no question that liquor
is being sold in this city at the pres
ent time"
Rutland always had some trouble
in shutting off the liquor supply to
the last drop, but after only a twelve
months trial of high license returns
to the underground traffic of prohi-
bition days.

Woodstock, VT, May 7, ,sO4

Mr.. Clement has been credited
with the intention OF setting up seri-
ously as candidate if DeBoer stays
out and Stanton and Bell are his
only opponents. Mr.. DeBoer goes
West, Mr.. Clement begins a speech
making tour, and thus the air clears
II little, though there is unhappi-
ness among the Republican leaders
over the unsettled situation. It's
queer business and unusual to hear
a loud demand for another man with
two conspicuous candidates at hand
who have openly acknowledged
that they are willing to accept the
nomination for the governorship.
And somehow the thing can't be
fixed up since the line of succession
was upset two years ago.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always It leads
to dangerous chronic disease. It should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempor-
arily relieved with drastic purgatives. Here
is case in point:
Mr. @. s. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.

constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, DR..
Kennedy's nep medicine, used it and began
to improve rapidly, All of his old COM
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
Remember, Cal-curG Solvent cures 98%
