County Politics.

The near approach of the caucuses for
booming both in st. Johnsbury and in
the outside towns. The contest in the
latter towns is over the candidate for
second senator and there are three lead
ing candidates, Representative Graves
of Waterford, Representative Simpson of
Sheffield and Judge S. D. Morse of Dan
vile, either one of whom would creditably
represent this section of the state in the
upper body of the legislature. In St.
Johnsbury there is a lively contest over
three candidates in the field, 6. c. Frye,
R. w. Simonds and Frank D. Thompson.
The CALIFORNIAN has already published
brief sketches of the two latter attorneys.
MIR. Frye is a young man of parts who
was candidate two years ago and is
therefore the logical candidate this year.
A St. Johnsbury boy, he was educated
at our public schools and the Academy
and spent two years studying law in
the county clerks Office. He then
entered the law department o.
Boston University, taking three
years course in two. He was admitted
to the Vermont bar in 1897 and
has successfully practiced law in ST.
Johnsbury since that time, winning
cases where difficult law points were in
volved in both the county and supreme
court. He has always supported the
republican ticket and is the chairman OF
the republican county committee. He
has many friends in this town who will
support him at the caucus, and the one
who gets the nomination at the St.
Johnsbury caucus is the most likely win
ner in the county convention. If nom
mated and elected Mr.. Frye will fill the
Office creditably and acceptably and
bring to it good judgment and a wide
knowledge of criminal law.

PRESS COMMENT.
The Montpelier Caucus.

The action of the Montpelier republi-
cans in instructing their delegation to
the state convention to vote for De Boer
for governor was natural compliment
to a fellow-townSman, but it may mean
much more than this. Either these men
are determined to force their candidates
nomination without his consent, or they
are possessed of some information favor
able to his acceptance, notwithstanding
his public declaration that he could not
permit the use of his name. Two weeks
ago some of the politicians in the state
were sure that they detected lurch in
public sentiment to Stanton, and the
word was passed around that "Zed," as
they familiarity call him, was surely "it'';;
that all factions would ultimately sup
port him, and that his nomination was
good as made. There were obdurate
manipulators, however, who could not
be convinced that it was for their inter.
ests to get into line for Stanton, so the
| result was not as spontaneous as had
been Dredicted.-E Brattleboro letter in
| the Springfield Republican.

st. Johnsbury is likely to have a candi-
press say that Representative Fred 6.
Bundy is slated for the head of the DEM
ocratic ticket. Mr.. Bundy's two terms
in the legislature and his position on the
state committee have given him a wide
acquaintance throughout the state and
he is naturally considered one of the
party leaders in the state.

Affects Pensioners at Soldiers HI ONE.
A special meeting of the trustees of the
Soldiers Home was held recently to take
action and conform to an act of Con-
gress passed last April relative to the
pensions received.
It provides that from June 1 all PEN
sions received by the inmates of homes
instead of going to the benefit of the in
stitution are kept for the benefit of the
pensioner by the superintendent or treas
urer of the home. In case the inmate is
discharged he receives what money there
is coming to him, in case of death it goes
to his legal heirs. IF no claim is made in
three years the money reverts to the
home. In case of discharge he cannot
make application to return under six
months. Colonel Hannou was appoint
ed assistant treasurer of the home and
furnished bonds in the sum of So, 900 for
the performance of his duties.
Recent additions to the home are
William Williams, admitted from Castle
ton, served in Co. K, LIST VT. Inf. and
afterward in Co. D, 9th VT. Vols. He
enlisted first in Castleton. Warren P.
Dane. admitted from Newport, served in
Co. 1, 1st VT. Cav. and enlisted in
Derby. He is not in good health.

A REMARKABLE TEST
APPLIED BY A TEACHER IN A
LEADING UNIVERSITY.
Demonstrates the Power of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills to Restore vigor to Shat
tered Nerves.

Demonstrates the Power of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills to Restore vigor to Shat
tered Nerves.
Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the minis
ter of the Christian Church, of No. 2010
I street, South Omaha, Neb., tells how
her daughter has been enabled to resume
her professional work as teacher after
suffering for nearly three years from Sc
we're nervous prostration:
"When she was passing from girl
hood to womanhood," says Mrs. Lane,
"she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but few boxes Of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
While she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as a student and then
as teacher in large Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the strain
finally told on her. She became pale,
weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had
no appetite and she suffered from Sc
we're headaches. Then came a complete
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
In this emergency we again tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Improvement
came at first slowly and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and SO we kept up the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take position in one of our
universities where she is happily at
work. My mother, my daughter and
myself have wel1-founded confidence
in the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are always ready to recommend
them"
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at it's source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
a common origin in impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system in a
healthy condition, because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part They arrest physical decay when
it seems inevitable and find road to
restoration when the doctor misses it.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

The Western Union and Bucket Shops.

In scathing denunciation of the policy
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's policy in regard to furnishing
race track news to pool rooms the
Review of Reviews points out that this
corporation has been sad sinner for
some time and is still responsible for
another form of gambling known as the
bucket shops. On this point the Review
of Reviews quotes from the report of the
late William T. Baker, made in 1896 to
to the Chicago Board of Trade of which
he was president. Mr.. Baker was one of
Chicago's first citizens. having been
president of the Columbian Exposition
and the Civic Federation. In the course
of his report on the bucket shop evil Mr..
Baker said:
"Bucket shops and pool rooms are
twin outlaws in nearly every state in the
Union. Their united corruption fund
has enabled them to battle justice by
debauchery of the constituted authority
for the investigation and prosecution of
crime, but they could not continue in
existence a day but for their alliance
with the Western Union Telegraph Com
machinery and all the news on which
bets are laid, and is the only telegraph
company in the United States that leases
wires for the private use of bucket shops
in swindling their patrons. The specta-
Gle of corporation with hundred mil
lion dollars capital paying dividends
CLEANED from the vice and crime of the
country is one to make any American
blush. Contrast this with the conduct
of some of the great newspapers of this
city which cannot be hired to print the
harmless appearing advertisements o.
bucket shops. 1t may be said that g
great commercial organiza ton like thi:
has no need to concern itself with ques
tions of morals, but the ethics of bust
ness are based on a high standard o
commercial morality, which it is oul
duty to preach and to practice. Whei
we see our efforts to rid ourselves of tn
incubus of bucket shops embarrassed b,
such condition as is here outlined, w
find our self-interest exalted by our pat
riotic duty as citizens in striking dow
a wrong. The crusade in which we hav
been so long engaged. will not cease
Complete success will, however, be has
tened by our maintaining among OUT
selves an unirupeachable standard c
business honor"

MINING NOTES.
IBY sPADEHAND.l

The Goodwins seem 10 be good
winners, for the word has reached
US that one of them has made the
biggest strike of jack yet made in
the new camp. The strike is on the
Mary Buck land and was made last
Saturday. Another one of the Good
wins is mighty well pleased with a
drill strike he has made on his lease
Just acroes the road north from the
Gaines Brewster mine.
There has never been time in
the history of our mining district
when so many experienced miners
and operators hade examined the
camp with view to getting leases
and developing them. Every day
sees new faces here.
At Daniels and Plumb's office
Monday forenoon there were three
applicants TO rent houses in fifteen
minutes. The mines attracted them
to our city.
Empty houses are filing up and
a number of families have recently
located here. The mine are going
to give our town aibig growth.

Phenomenally Rich Strikes Are
Made on Opperman Farm.

Two drill holes have been put
put down on the John Opperman
farm, half mile south of the city
limits, and in both of them the
drill passed through 30 feet of very
rich zinc ore. The ore was struck
at IS feet and the drill penetrated a
fine cap rock before reaching "pay
dirt thus proving the ground to
be safe when actual mining of it 10
begun.
These strikes are of the utmost
importance to Baxter Springs. The
brightest future lie now assured our
little city.
