Live
Wire

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part OF the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene-
trate the skin with the point Of
a needle you will touch nerve
and receive a Shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
jury to a nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
this.
Il suffered intense pain, caused by
neuralgia. doctored and used vari-
Gus medicines without getting relief
until began taking DIR. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills. They did me more
good than all the medicines / ever

headaches. and their use never leaves
any bad after-effects."

Horse BREEDING

1t appears probable that ere long the
government Morgan horses, now lo-
Gated at one of the farms of the Yer
mont Experiment Station, may have a
home of their own through the gener-
osity of Hon. Joseph Battell of Middle
bury, than whom none in recent years
has done more toward creating and
maintaining an interest in this famous
branch of the equine family as author
and publisher of the Morgan Register
and his fine stud of Morgan horses.
From an exchange we learn that Mr..
Battell has offered the government a
large estate at Weybridge at merely
nominal rental, where the horses may be
kept and bred in numbers as extensive
as they are likely to reach. Herald.

THIRD TERM CLUB.
Chicago Organization Formed for
RooseveIt's Reelection.

The Roosevelt third term national
league has been formed in Chicago and
an application for a charter has been
made at Springfield. Edward A. Horner,
formerly of Leadville, Colo. is organizer
and president of the league. The ma
tional headquarters of the league will be
in Chicago. Clubs will be organized
throughout the United States.
1--WE aim to get 100000 members. "
said Horner. 1T is not our purpose
to appeal to politicians. In fact, we
don't want them. 1t is to be a matter
which is to come directly from the peo-
pie, and for myself | don't care whether
President Roosevelt likes it or not. TO
my mind he has nothing to say about it.
The people have absolute and implicit
confidence in him and we are going TO
see that they elect him for a third term. -"

The Depth of a Mothers Love.

Oh, the depth of mothers love. 1t
has never been measured. 1t has never
been sounded. Once in years, as in the
Gillette murder trial, the world gets a
glance at its boundless expanse. But
think of the millions of cases where it is
being tried today that the world knows
nothing of. Boys and girls be very kind
to mother. You little know how much
she has done and would do and suffer
for you. Be good to her as she grows
old and help make her declining years
the happiest in her life Do it by being
good to yourself.-Burlington Clipper.
The mother of Gillette, the condemned
murderer, has come from Colorado to
fight the conviction of her son, as bare
faced murderer as was ever convicted.
She begged him on her Bonded knees to
confess if guilty. He persists in his dec
laration of innocence and she believes
him. After spending all the money she
can raise he will probably confess his
crime or go to the electric chair with a
lie on his lips.

Bank Wrecker's Sentence.

The house of correction is too small to
hold big criminals. David H. Lewis, the
cashier who wrecked the Farmers Ma
tional bank of Vergennes, was released
from there last week, where he had re-
manned about five years on seven years
sentence. Under some new law, we
don't know whether 1t was made especi-
ally for bank wreckers, two years was
taken off his sentence for good behavior.
Ketchum has been good also, since he
was put where he couldn't be bad, vet he
is still in Jail. However, Ketchum was
only private while Lewis was at least a
colonel in this action against the bank,
and therefore Ketchum couldn't expect
to realize pension quite so large or quite
so quick. Mussey, who wrecked the
Merchants National of Rutland. was
sentenced to the house of correction foI
seven years but served hardly seven
nths.-Brandon Union.
Mr.. Ketchum declares very earnestly
that he was made the tool of the big
rascals, some of whom, he says, went
Scott free. His forthcoming book will
probably give some facts that have not
heretofore been brought outfit they are
facts-and he says he can furnish the
proof

Heroes in Private Life,

The heroism displayed by several Cor
nell students in attempting to recue their
comrades from the burning fraternity
house at Ithica. N Y, last week, was
extremely courageous and will go down
in the history of the university as one of
the bravest of exhibitions of self-sacrifice.
One of the students got out of the burn
ing building unframed, but so strong
was his regard for his roommate that he
boldly dashed back into the roaring fun
mace in the hope of effecting recue. The
would be rescurer himself then fell vic
tim to the flames. Such self-affacement
is rarely seen. If ever Cornell erects
a tablet to her heeoes. one surely will be
erected to commemorate the deed of this
man and his companions.

the attention of Savings Bank depositors
to the fact that they may increase
their present deposits in this Bank to
$4,000, or may make "A new deposit for
that sum, regardless of the fact that they

The late Ex.-Gov. Hendee.

The death of Ex.-Gov. George w.
Hendee, of Morrisville, has called out
the following tribute to his memory by
the Messenger:
I'm the death of Ex-Governor George
w. Hendee Morrisville loses her first
citizen. A generous, kindly, manly man
he was, who in the long period Of his
activities filled many places of trust and
responsibility to the purpose of their best
uses, were they large or small. He was
a neighbor according to the Master
definition; he was friend after the
highest types of friendship; he was a
supporter of everything that broadened.
strengthened or bettered the life around
him; he was the enemy of no man. He
was beloved by all in his manhood and
revered by all in his old age. In the
fullness of years he has laid down his
burden with all who knew him as the
legatees of his benignity without prefer
ence, rank or distinction. In that lies
his first citizenship and the unqualified
blessings of his memory

The Proper Thinq.

There will be feeling of satisfaction
now that the Legislature has decided to
continue the State tuberculosis board
and since Gov. Proctor has already an
nounced the members of the board for
the next biennial term. The new board
will be composed of the following medi-
cal men: DR.. w. N. Bryant of Ludlow,
DIR. H. H. Lee of Wells River and DIR. D.
c. Hawley of Burlington. OF these
DIR. Bryant was a member of the old
board which started the educational
movement to eradicate the great white
plague" in Vermont, and his experience
in that work will be invaluable to the
new commission.

THE WEEK.

Lower temperature has stimulated re-
tail trade in seasonable staples, but inter
est is most conspicuous in holiday goods
Expectations Of a record breaking demand
for Christmas specialties are being fully
realized Jobhing and wholesale houses
are doing well for the season. but reports
of mercantile collections show much ir.
regularity. improvement In the prom pit.
ness of payments is expected when the
crops have been more fully marketed and
greater ease appears IN money rates,
which are far above normal, despite the
fact that the total amount in circulation
exceeds all records The movement of
freight is restricted by inadequate facil-
ties, causing much trouble III other in
dustries. Very little idle machinery is
noticed in the factories and mills, except
where the supply Of labor and raw
material is insufficient and the vigorous
demand for all commodities is indicated
by the highest level of prices in recent
years. Liabilities of failures in manufac-
GOO. 900 less than in November, 1905.
The closing month of the year in the
iron and steel industry promises to fully
maintain the phenomenal rate of progress
that has been experienced during the
autumn. notwithstanding a further adj
vance in some quotations that might be
expected to curlail operations. Every
available plant is now actively engaged,
except where material cannot be secured,
and the volume of business booked for
next year assures many new records in
1907.
Among notable new business under
consideration are contracts for large
mileage of pipe for oil lines and all forms
of railway equipment.
Textile mills are operating a large per-
centage of the available machinery, al
though the inadequate supply of labor
continues to be drawback. Strength
of the raw material does not justify ex-
pectations of concessions. More interest
is expected In wool goods during the
coming season, and less concentration
upon worsteds.
Increased strength has developed in a
number of varieties of packer hides, the
situation being clearly shown by the abl-
ity of packers to sell in advance of salt
ing at the season when quality and con-
dition are constantly deteriorating. Do
nestle country hides lack the support
noted in the packer market. Leather is
firm but trade is quiet, especially at the
East.
Some improvement is noticed in the
movement of wheat to primary markets.
Corn started the week with a down.
ward tendency. Shipments by all sur
plus nations amounted to 1856, 800
bushels, against 1872, 900 bushels ia year
ago. Only moderate forwardings to
primary markets and wet weather
throughout the corn belt held prices
fairly steady, because of the confidence
that large crop estimates will be rea-
lized.

CAPITAL CATCHlNGS.

The House has passed the bill relating
10 railroads making it requirement of
railroads to get the consent of the rail
road commission as to method of heating
all kinds of passenger cars, including
those on mixed trains. This is to hit
such case as the recent Rutland rail
road accident at Vergennes.
The House passed in concurrence Sat
urday afternoon bill designed to pre-
vent wrong practices in elections. putting
the appointment of election of officers in
the hands of boards of civil authority.
1t is intended to hit cities. Barre will
not be affected rs the election officers are
named by the civil authority board.
Hereafter it is likely that woman
will be placed on the board Of visitors to
state institutions.
The House has thought better of its
slaughter of the bill to experiment with
the planting of nursery seedlings, and
will consider the bill again.
The committee on education wants the
appointment of a commission of five to
investigate the normal schools of the
state. The House accepted it.
The House insisted on its proposal of
amendment to Senate bill AZ to prohibit
expectoration on sidewalks and asked
for committee of conference. Similar
action was taken on the House proposals
of amendment to S. 1877, an act to create
the office of cattle commissioner and to
define his powers and duties.
The insisting habit is pretty good
criterion of the temper of the House and
the committees on conference have some
thing to do to harmonic the clash on
the cattle commission bill If not done
automatically this important measure
may be found, at the end of the session,
suspended from a chandelier.
Although not officially announced, it is
generally talked in State House circles
that the present session will see no def
mite remedy attempted for the ills of
double taxation The committee has so
far been unable to agree upon any single
bill or substitute bill and it is likely that
all measures before the special commit
tee will be reported adversely. If this is
the case, it means that double taxation
will be political issue in 1908.

Govern ment Reports.

Washington dispatches give the fol-
lowing local mentions among the reports
made by the treasury officials:
In Vermont during the year there was
an aggregate of 1926 special tax payers,
classified as follows: Rectfiers, / retail
liquor dealers, 22S; wholesale liquor
dealers, 2; retail dealers in malt liquor,
n; wholesale dealers in malt liquors, IS.
No special taxes were received from YER
mont from manufacturers or dealers in
oleOmargarine, renovated or adulterated
butter or filled cheese. In the year end
ing December 81, 1905, Vermont had 81
cigar factories which used So, 096 pounds
of tobacco and produced 3 ,034 1915 cigars.
Five tobacco factories did business in
the same year and manufactured 2,475
pounds of smoking tobacco from the
grade of stock known as scraps. Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont are con-
soildated in one internal revenue district
with Edgar o. Crossman of New Hamp.
shire as collector.
During the year ending June Both the
total of Sl39, 600, 1888 % was paid by the
government in pensions, and of this
amount $,377 ,293 81 was disbursed among
9,S47 pensioners in Vermont, the state
ranking 23rd among the 81 states and
territories in the amount of pensions
paid, and 28th in the number of pension
ers on the rolls. These figures are de-
rived from the report of the commits
sioner of pensions just issued. Vermont
and New Hampshire army pension
ers are paid from the agency at Concord
and the record shows that on June Both
the number of pensioners on the rolls at
that agency was 1888, loss of 496
from the preceding year. OF the total
number one was on account of the Rev
dictionary war and was paid to Esther
Damon of Plymouth Union, Vermont,

ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE FA-
TALlTY.
Vernon Woman Run Down on the
Street, Dies in Hospital.


Street, Dies in Hospital.
We copy the following from the Sprin-
field (Nlass.), Republican with relation to
the death of Mrs. Elva NJ. Gray of West
Derby, who was killed in Springfield last
Tuesday
A fatal automobile casualty occurred
on Main street Tuesday, when Mrs. Elva
NJ. Gray 81 wife w o. Gray was struck by
motor car driven by Adolf A. Geisel
Mrs. Gray died at l 30 p. M, at the Mercy
hospital from the terrible injuries re-
ceived. Mr. Geisel late yesterday after
noon was arrested on the charge of man
slaughter, soon after being released on
$4,000 bail.
1t appears from the testimony of those
who witnessed the accident that Mrs.
Gray was about to board a south bound
trolley car at the white post just north of
the arch. For some reason Just as she
was about to get on to the car she changed
her mind and stepped back a few feet.
She then was struck by the right for
ward wheel of the automobile, which was
going south, being taken to the Geisel
garage on Dwight street. Mrs Gray
was carried to Mercy hospital. 1t was
then found on examination by DR.. q. ID.
Weston that her right collar bone and
three ribs were broken and that there
was a compound fracture of the right
leg. She was unable to recovery from
the shock and died soon afterward
Mrs. Gray formerly lived in Newport,
VT, and she had come to this city three
weeks ago to spend the winter with her
husband. She was member of Rebekah
lodge at Newport. Besides her husband,
she is survived by two sons by former
husband, Harold T. and Ira w. Carr,
both of Lisbon, n. H., and two sisters.
This is the first arrest for manslaugh-
ter in connection with an automobile
accident yet made in Springfield.
