My trouble commenced with sharp pains
across my back and hips and if / took
cold it settled in my back, which both

my back would become so lame and
sore that to turn quickly caused acute
pain. During severe attack | pro-

Has It's Nauseating Side,
[Springfield Republican,

So, gross negligence on the part of the
Vermont cattle commission, in failing to safe
guard the interests of the state in the dis
pnsal of diseased cattle, is charged by Attor-
ney-General Fits, and Governor Bell has de-
handed the resignation of Dr. f. A. Rich one
of those commissioners. These revelations
do not iibe very well with the defence that
was offered by the speakers in behalf of
Governor elect Proctor during the recent cam
paign. The attorney general did not feel at
liberty to reveal these things, and no doubt
properly so, when they would have availed to
help the candidacy of Mr.. Clement. Massa-
chusetts has her interest in this matter, be-
cause our people are said to have had the
eating of 1872 head of diseased cattle con
demned by Vermont's commission. The sub
iect thus has its nauseating as well as its
political side

1t is evidenced from the reports that the
general condition Of the army has improved
during the year, as regards military insiruc'
ton, and that the troops are in fairly salts
factory state OF efficiency and readiness for
field service This is the statement made
in the annual report Of Col. j. g. Galbralth,
inspector general OF the army. Attention is
called To the large number Of desertions,
many Of which are attributed to frequent
changes of company officers aud the indsposi'
iion Of a majority Of the citizens to regard
dcsertiuu as a crime The plan suggested by
General Funston that the term Of first en-.
Hstmeut be limited to one year is favorab!y
regarded in the report. Concerning the quar-
tcrmaster. generals department, the report
says, in part: I'm general, the supplies fur
nishcd by the quartcrmastcr' department are
reported as having been good and sufficient
In an era Of investigation Of the public ser
vice in every department Of the government a
scrutiny Of the affairs and methods Of the
army supply departments excited more news
paper comment than the facts warranted.
Military experts Of this country have been
impressed with the fact that provision should
be made for the establishment Of a national
reserve force which could be called by the
president at the outbreak OF war to expand
the regular army from a peace to war
footing.

The present caucus law must go,

Let every voter elect when the first caucus
is held which party he will act with in

Forty dollars was found hidden in the
necktie of James X. HILL, the negro who was
recently sentenced to serve term in Wind
sor prison for the theft of 800 from Edmund
4 Holland s.livery stable in Rutland. Shotly
before leaving for Windsor he was searched
for the third time. 1t had been noticed that
while in court he held his hat so as to hide
the lower part of his neckte This aroused
the suspicion of the authorities and the pris
oner's necktie was ripped open. In it was
found $40 in bank notes. This, together
with $50 discovered in previous searches, is
nearly the full sum stolen.

Governor Proctor did the right thing
when he gave one of the appointments
on his staff to Ernest w. Gibson of this
town. Mr. Gibson not only worked
hard for the governor during the recent
campaign, but his connection with the
state militia as captain of Company I
makes him particularly well fitted to
hold the office of colonel. Colonel Glib.
son knows enough about military af
fairs so that he can carry off uniform
gracefully and walk without tripping
over his sword. That is more than can
be said of some of the staff officers of
former chief executives.

Say Thank You, Mr.. Fits.

When the bill to create the office Of attor.
ney general was before the last legislature 1t
was strongly advocated by Clarke c. Fits,
then member Of the house, who said that
such officer should be able to save the
state Of Vermont his salary every year.
Later, when by the turn of events Fits was
himself elected to the office this utterancc
required 10 the minds Of many, who have fol
lowed his official course with interest
II may NOT be possible TO show in dollars
and cents just how much Fits has saved the
state, but that he has made the office one Of
importance and high value is not to be
doubted 1t is worth all it costs to have

official connection with the states admins.

duet of cases TO which the state is a party.
Especially is it well TO have from such an
official recommendations for improved legis.

shown needful.
Mr.. Fits report, just out, will be read
with interest and profit by the lawmakers

particularly welcome in any reform measures

biologists have learned that Minnehaha
Falls, the famous beauty spot Of Minneapolis
which is known to nearly every schoolboy
and girl in the country through Longfellow s
"Hiawatha' Is In danger Of being destroyed.
Eating its way through the sandstone ledge
over which the water pours the stream has
now worn the rock almost down to the loose
drift Of glacial deposit. This means that
unless this ledge is propped up and the ero'
sion stopped the falls in their present pic
turesque form will be gone, with nothing In
their place but an ugly rapid. The recession
Of Minnehaha has been fastened by the
heavy rains Of the last few seasons. The
falls have been uniformly in good volume
and the wearing action Of the water has
been very rapid But the more damaging
work has been wrought by the frost and the
spray attacking the face Of the ledge about
midway between the foot and crest Of the
falls. BY this iusidious action the ledge has
been undermined so that the recess back Of
the falls is fully 30 feet wide. When the
preparation OF the wall Of sandstone is com.
plcte, which may be within few years 1t Is
inevitable that the stratum which forms the
crest ~ the falls win topple over and Mime.

The board of trade did not land the
Peerless manufacturing company, which
had representatives, here few weeks
ago with the idea of locating branch
of its business in town. IT was not the
fault of the local organization, how
ever. For one thing the company could
not find a suitable factory building in
Brattleboro, and for the second it was
unable to find any tenements for the
accommodation of the employees This is
only another illustration of the press
ing need of more houses in town. With
out them the board of trade cannot
hope to increase Brattleboro s indus

Of people who used French instead of
English as conversational language;

believe that be was in n foreign coun-

and by numerous gestures explained to
the proprietor what he wanted. The
barber bowed his customer to n chair,
lathered his face assiduously and then
gave him n start by inquiring in very
good English if he wanted his face
gone over once or twice. It was as

An automobiles has made the sug
gestion that drivers of teams would
avoid the danger of collisions at night
if they would make a practice of car
rying lanterns-lighted of course,
There is no doubt about the wisdom of
this suggestion. In spite Of the pow
crful lights with which most automo-
biles are equipped it frequently hap
pens that teams are not seen until so
near that a passing cannot be effected
without at least frightening the horses.
All persons who have occasion to drive
at night ought to be willing to carry
lanterns for the sake of their own
safety as well as for the benefit of au-
tomobile drivers.

ton. All the peasants on the ground at once
were gathered in. No investigation was
made. The chief invited priests to admins
ter the last sacrament to the prisoners and
then ordered the Cossacks to beat them all
to death The butchery lasted four hours.
Twenty.three peasants were killed and 1870
were mutilated. The Cossacks, then thor
oughly tired out, compelled the peasants to
continue fogging each other, and men had
to beat their own brothers, sons and fathers.

Not a few sportsmen object TO the
game law which forbids the shooting of
more than five birds in a day or more
than Is in season. They claim that
such a law would not be Objectionable
if it applied only to partridges, which
are here the year round, but at present
it is likely to interfere seriously with
the sport that the flight woodcock offer.
Chances TO shoot these birds on their
way south come but few days in a
season, and when a hunter has already
killed his quota of other game birds he
is obliged to deny himself some excel
lent sport Moreover, the law diserim-
mates somewhat against the Vermont
hunter in that sportsmen in the south
ern states are given all the opportunity
they desire to shoot the woodcock when
they reach their winter haunts.

The Valley Fair association ought 70
close the current year with balance IN
the treasury. The attendance TINS
year was slightly larger than last-the
figures given out In 1909 beng some
what exaggerated-and the cost OF the
various departments was less ABOUT
$1,000 was saved in cattle premiums
alone. The cost of the extra day ought
not 10 be large enough to offset these
items, and the majority of the people
connected with the fair are Of the opin'
ion that the change to three days was
wise. There are plenty OF ways IN
which the association can spend nv
least part Of its surplus (provlded
there is one) to advantage. The amount
il spends annually for the rental oil
tents would pay the interest on a
large investment, and If the fair Is TO
be a permanent institution the erection
Of several new buildings would be far
sighted policy,
One man who attempted to beat the
association out of % cents was caught
under amusing circumstances last week
Wednesday He appeared at the TEX

CURED what il would cost to get the
Youngsters inside. On being informed
that children five years old and under
were admitted free and those under 10
at half price the man promptly stated
that one of his boys was five and the
other seven. As he was handing out
10 cents in payment for himself and
the older boy the younger lad said:
