A Fine Maidstone.

There is on display at the Bank of
Weiser what is considered one of the
finest madstones ever seen in this sec
ton of the country. This valuable
stone is the property of Peter. Bour
and was taken from white deer
killed by him on Shasta Butte in
Northern California in 1902. Mr.
Bour, who is now on Grouse creek
near Resort, kindly loaned the stone
to A. B. Anderson, who has placed it
on exhibition at the bank. The stone
is of yellowish color and is about
the size of large birds egg. This is
believed to be the largest and finest
maidstone in the west, and Mr.. Bour
prizes it very highly.

TAke some reliable remedy for it TO DAY
and let that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty
five years. few doses of it will undoubtedly
relieve your cough or cold, and it's continu ed

SKETCH OF HON. c. ]. BELL.

Without doubt there are many Jour
nal readers who would be pleased to
read brief sketch of the life of the
man whom this paper is supporting
for governor. 1t is for that reason
that we present this modest story of
Mr.. Bells life.
Charles j. Bell was born on farm
in Walden in 1916. When ten years
old Re earned his first money by
building the fire in a schoolhouse
mornings after he had MIXED ten
cows and walked mile and half to
the building. For this work he re-
ceived sixteen cents a week for twelve
weeks.
At seventeen years of age he en-
tered the army, joining the Proctor
regiment. He re-enlisted in the first
Vermont Cavalry and was wounded
at Appomatox station.
Mr.. Bell has always believed that it
is the duty of every citizen to vote
and he has put his belief into practice
by voting at every March and Sep
tember meeting and at every nation
al 9 .ection since he became OF age.
When he was a boy he served as a
messenger in the extra session of the
legislature in 1860 and in the regular
session the following year.
Mr.. Bell joined the Grange in
1872 and for 90 years served as state
treasurer and is now serving his
fifth term as master of the state
organization. In 1882 he was elected
a member of the legislature, where he
served as chair man of the committee
on agriculture. In 1894 he was a
member of the state senate, and in
1886 90 he was a member of the state
railway commission. In 1897 Mr.. Bell
was selected as a member of the
Board of Agriculture and he is now
serving his sixth year as secretary OF
that body. He is also serving his Sec
ond term on the National Grange Elk
ecutive Court.
Mr.. Bell is not an Office seeker, but
he has been chosen for these positions
because of his fitness to fill them. He
has been especially active in the de-
velopment OF Vermont agricultural
resources and he is interested in good
roads and all other schemes looking
towards better conditions in the state
His address before the State Grange
at Rutland last winter shows him to
be man of practicalideas and ration
al conservatism, just the qualities We
look for in a governor. He is dis
tinetly typical of the great middle
class. and Vermonters can pay him
deserved tribute and elect safe mai
to office by making him their govern

The Royal commission which was
appointed in London in 1901 to invest
igate the relation between human and
animal tuberculosis TO be practically
identical. The committee has made
exhaustive experiments and is fully
satisfied that the disease produced in
animals by tuberculosis material,
whether of human or bovine origin,
was identical both in its general feat
ures and in the finer astrological de-
tails. This report disproves Prof
Koch's theory and affords reason for
believing in the theory of infection
through milk.

In the death of Senator Quay last
week one of the most prominent fig
ures in our national politics was re-
moved. Senator Quay was a born
leader of men and was most success
full politician. According to those
who opposed him he never allowed
anything to stand in his way when
bent on winning, but by the many
kindly things which are being said of
him at this time by those who knew
him best it is fair to assume that
many of the stories against him were
originated for political capital. He
always kept closely in touch with the
people and as a party leader had few
equals. He was said to be one of the
best read members of the senate.
