KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Brattleboro People Know
How to Save It.

Many Brattleboro people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are response
BILE for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need
to suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan s Kidney Pills. Here is Brat
tleboro citizen s recommendation:
Harry N. Holland of 81 Canal St,
Brattleboro, Vt, says: 81 had Sc
rious trouble for over year from

caught cold or brought too much
strain on the muscles of the back the

very severe. The trouble became so

A Board of Trade Bouquet.

Having caught fine idea, the Brat
tleboro board of trade imprisoned it in a
neat little pamphlet entitled, \ Little
Light on Brattleboro, Vermont. As the
title indicates, the pamphlet is devoted
TO advertising the metropolis OF south
eastern Vermont somewhat lofty
Characterization, to be sure; albeit cor
rect one as measured by Vermont stan
dards But that is merely an incident.
What is consequential is the forehand-
edness Of those Brattleborians in thus
acting for the furthernce of their
town. They are showing commendable
zeal in placing before the public the
really splendid opportunities that lie In
this Connecticut river community.
Briefly and pointedly these opportu-
mites are spread out in the pamphlet,
making a convincing invitation to cap
ital to go to Brattleboro and join IN the
general prosperous movement which Is
promised. We suppose that copies OF the
booklet will be distributed judiciously
where the seed is apt to bear fruit.
Naturally this will be in the larger fnan-
cial centers outside Vermont, SO that
whatever comes to Brattleboro from
these cities will be just so much gain
to the state of Vermont. Insofar as
that is concerned, the efforts OF the
Brattleboro board of trade to the build
ing up of its community will have their
influence on the state.

A PECULIAR PROBATE TANGLE.
Will of George Hovey, Supposed In
testate, Found Recently.

The finding OF what purports to be the
last will and testament OF the late George
Hoyey. which was announced Monday by
Judge Aiken of Greenfield is likely to
cause the most intricate legal problem
ever known to Franklin county probate
history. Another probable result, and
one Of immediate importance to Green
field, will be the shrinkage or perhaps the
complete wiping out of the requests to
Franklin County hospital and the Green
River cemetery under the will OF the late
Mrs Maria l.. Hosmer of Brooklyn, n;
Y, who as the sister Of Mr.. Hoyev and
his only next of kin was the principal
beneficiary from the legal distribution OF
the property, Mr.. Hovey being supposed
~ intestate.
The fact that both Mrs. Hovey and
Mrs Hosmer are dead and that their es-
tates are in process of settlement makes
the situation a most involved one. 1t Is
known that the will left nearly the entire
estate to Mrs. Hovey which means that
the estate of Mrs. Hosmer was much
smaller than she supposed when making
her will Inasmuch as the hospital and
cemetery requests are under the residuary
clause of her will, and that the testator
inserted a provision that IN case the es,,
tate was not large enough to pay the iull
amount of the legacies they were to abate
ratably, the public requests will suffer UNI
der a shrinkage.
On the other hand certain heirs of Mrs,
Hovey will benefit materially from the
discovery Of the will, should it be allowed.
These are her nephews, George A. Plat,
David Willard and Robert K. Willard and
her nieces, Sarah A. Willard, Sarah ID.
Willard and Maria Willard Aiken who
under a provision Of the will share a,."e
in any amount left after the paying OIL
other legacies. The other heirs of Mrs,
Hovey are: Gertrude. Laura and Royal
Plat; John NJ. Hackley, Mary H. Will
lard, Greenfield Cemetery association, st.
James church, st. James Ladies Aid So
ciety and st. James Daughters of the
church. The inventory OF the estate soon
after Mrs. Hoyey's death shows property
to the amount Of $2S,925. Mrs. Hosmer's
property was inventoried at about S97,-
900.
The will of Mr.. Hovey, which is in, the
custody of Judge Aiken will be, filed at
the probate office within few days. 1t
was made in 1858. Mr.. Hoveys property
was inventoried as consisting of S2l49
in personal property and S4l, 400 in real
estate. The real estate which consists
largely of valuable properties on. Main
street has appreciated to a considerable
degree since his death.

WHO'S WHO IN VERMONT IN 179,
Census Bureau Preparing Unique Pub
LEGATION Based on Ancient Schedules.

The census bureaus unique publication,
Who's Who in 1890, is just off the press.
A limited appropriation makes it impos-
sible at the present time to issue the re-
turns from all the states then in exist
ence. The schedules for New Hampshire,
Vermont and Maryland, however, are
completed, while those from the remain
ing states will follow soon.
These volumes are a reprint of the tirst
census returns. Each will form an at
traetive booklet of $50 pages, one volume
for each state.
The original documents form a queer
collection. These are preserved in TWEEN
ty-six oddly assorted volumes in the cen
sus office. For the most part the head
ings are written in by hand. The mar
shals. on whose shoulders the task of
making the first enumeration devolyed,
were obliged to furnish their own blanks.
In consequence, all sizes and color of
paper were used, many of the returns be-
ing written on merchants account forms.
These were bound sometimes in wall
paper, sometimes in anything that came
to hand. Crudely sewn together, they
vary in size from four inches in length
to three feet
Genealogical experts and others inter
ested in family origins found it practicable
to refer to these tablets, and so great was
the demand for information on the sub
ject that the census office decided to
publish the compilations in convenient
form. Thus the list of heads of families
III years ago will be an open book for
one and all,
In March, 1890 the Union was COM
posed of twelve states, Rhode Island, the
last of the original thirteen being ad-
mitted May 80 Vermont, however, was
admitted before the results of the first
census were announced. Maine was a
part of Massachusetts,, Kentucky part
of Virginia, Alabama and Mississippi were
included in the state of Georgia. Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin were known only as the Northwest
territory, while beyond the Mississippi
river lay the great UNEMPLOYED wilderness,
then the property of the Spanish crown.
New York city had population of
SO l3l, and the entire population of the
United States was 1921, 5S3. As families
at that time averaged six members, the
total number of heads of families was
about half a million. The records of
Delaware Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia were burned when the Brit
ish set fire to the capitol in 1912, but
they have been supplied in part from
state enumerations taken in the same
year.
The object of the census was to ascer-
tain the nations military and industrial
strength, and the work was done under
difficulties that seemed almost insur-
mountable The journey between New
York and Washington could be accom-
plished under favorable conditions in
eight days.
There were no roads, and bridges were
undreamed of. People were suspicious,
fearing an increase of taxes. Others had
religious scruples, hesitating to give their
names lest they offend the Deity. The
reports that struggled in during year
and half, however, now make an inter
esting heritage Brooklyn Eagle.

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE RETURNING

Public confidence, the one thlng
needed to dispel the panicky feeling
which has been working such havoc
with the money market, seems to be
turning and close observers say that
the financial situation which has been
causing such anxiety throughout the
country is already sufficiently i'm
proved to warrant the prediction that
matters will soon resume the even
tenor of their way. The money short
age, created by the public's distrust
of certain great financial institutions
whose methods brought them into
trouble, has certainly been a serious
hindrance to the conduct of business
but no one who considers the condi-
ton of the country as whole can
place credence in the wall of the ca
lamity howlers. AS soon as people
can be made to believe that their
money is as safe invested and drawing
interest as it is tied up in a sock
concealed under the mattress the pinch
which has been bothering dealers In
money will disappear.
While the attitude of President
Roosevelt toward the methods of great
corporations no doubt had its effect IN
bringing about the recent financial
disturbance it is unfair to assume the
administration was to blame for the
happenings of the past few weeks
The concerns whose methods were the
butt of the president s criticism are
themselves to blame for the trouble
visited upon them. Yet without shift
ing this blame it may be said truth
fully that the president continued
utterances after the occurrence of the
break due to the conditions which he
assailed were impolitic and conducive
to a feeling of distrust even greater
a newspaper, for example, should ex'
pose bank whose condition was not
sound the journal could not be blamed
for the run which would follow, but ii
would be extremely foolish neverthe'
less for the paper to continue knock
ing the bank after the financial heads
of the community had rallied to place
it on a sound financial footing. The
good that President Roosevelt has
done through his exposure of corpora
ton corruption and his campaign fol
correction of this evil need not be un'
derestimated in making the statement
that little less noise and a bit more
tact would have done much toward
averting the crisis with which the
strongest opponents of the president
have so manfully COPIED.

Diseased Cattle.
bennington Banner.)

Henry S. Wilson, the state cattle com
missioner, states that one of the difficult
ties that he runs up against in his position
is TO make some people understand that
the state Of Vermont does not guarantee
stock in any way. He frequently receives
requests from stock owners that the state
pay for certain animals Of theirs that have
died. They usually accompany the re-
quest with statement that the dead ami
NAL has been examined by a veterinary
and is found to have died from tuberculo'
sis, CHAMBERS or some similar disease CON
tagious among animals, The state does
not pay for dead animals unless they are
killed 10y order Of the commissioner after
being tested The state is trying to stamp
out tuberculosis and other contagious dis
eases among animals by inducing all stock
owners to have their cattle tested and
any that are found diseased weeded out.
When a man keeps COW or horse until
il dies from disease and thereby spreads
the disease as much as possible he has no
right to expect the state to pay him for
his loss.

The MeddLer
"U The coat fis you, put il on. "

The bailiffs, il is understood, are
planning to install a larger hydrant
in place of the one now located at the
foot of the railroad bank near the
northeast corner of the American
Building annex. Further improvement
could be made by locating the by
drant at the top of the embankment.
The present location is anything but
accessible in winter aud at best would
be difficult to reach should Arch street
be blocked as might happen in case
of fire in that portion of the village.
During a greater part of last winter
this hydrant was so covered with snow
and ice that quick resort to it would
have been impossible. A hydrant To-
Gated at the northwest corner of the
American Building annex would af-
ford protection to fully as much prop
erty and in case of fire could be put
in operation in less than half the
time.
"'There hasn't been fall for years
when the ground was so thoroughly
saturated with water" asserted a 10
cal man the other afternoon. " And,
he added, reaectively, "most of it has
