Nature and a woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world a remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 516 Nc. St.
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration TO health
means 80 much TO me that for the sake
Of other suffering women am willing
10 make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms Of female Ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound aud Mrs. Pinkhams advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege.
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women

Another Tragedy in Barre Granite In
dustry.

Barre, Sept. 25.-Raymond Lager
was instantly killed and Guy Wal
bridge seriously injured by being
crushed beneath a three ton stone at
the polishing mill at the Young Bros.
granite shed yesterday morning.
The men who were Jumpers, were
at work removing two large stones
from the polishing bed The first had
been taken off and stood on edge and
the second was placed beside it. The
men stepped between the two stones
to pull out a chain when the stone
first removed tipped over on them.
Workmen at once went to the aid
of the unfortunate men and hitched a
chain around the stone but 1t was nee
essary to resort to the use of a trav.
cling derrick before the stone could
be removed Lager whose chest was
crushed, lived but few minutes. Wal
bridge was hurried to the city hospit-
al where an examination was made
and it was found that his right thigh
was fractured in two places, the low
er part of his body badly bruised and
IL is not known yet whether he suffer
ed internal injuries or not.
Lager was rs years old and his
father resides in Keeseville, N. Y.
He was unmarried and had worked
here about three months, being en-
ployed in Websterville previous to
that.

Japanese Children Taught to Fight.


General Kuropatkin writes enter
tainingly in the October McClure's
of Japans methods of preparing for
war He says:
In their military school, where ]
saw Spartan system of education,
the exercises of the cadets with pixies,
rifles and broadswords were not ap-
preached by anything of the kind that
| had witnessed in Europe-it was
fighting of the fiercest character At
the end OF the struggle there was a
hand.t0hand combat, which lasted
until the victors stood triumphant over
the bodies of the vanquished and tore
off their masks. In these exercises,
which were very severe. the cadets
struck one another fiercely and with
wild cries. but the moment a pre-
arranged signal was given, or the
fight came to an end, the combatants
drew themselves up in a line and their
faces assumed an expression of
wooden composure.
In all the public schools promi-
nence was given to military exercises,
and the scholars took part in them
with enthusiasm. Even in their walks
they practiced running, flanking and
sudden, unexpected attacks of one
party on another The history of
Japan was everywhere made a means
of strengthening the pupils patriot
ism and their belier in Japans irwin
cibility. Particular stress was laid
upon the countrys successful wars,
the heroes Of them were extolled, and
the children were taught that none of
Japan's military enterprises had ever
failed"

MoREY OR FULTON
Vermont Man Invented Steamboat
and Ran Model on Lake Falrlee.

Vermont Man Invented Steamboat
and Ran Model on Lake Falrlee.
Tn following paper was read at
the recent bicentennial celebration at
Hebron, Ct, and was written by j.
Home Bliss of the Plainfeld, Ct.
Journal
Il may not be known to many in
Hebron that their town gave to the
world the person who first success
fully applied steam power to the pur-
poses of navigation, but we have rea-
son to believe that such is the fact.
That person was Samuel Morey, born
In Hebron. October 2S,. 1852, son of
Gen. Israel Morey and Martha Palm
or OF Hebron, who with their family
removed to Coos county In north
ern New Hampshire In 1866 In an
OK team. The statement that Capt.
Samuel Morey, ran a steam fefryboat
between the towns Of Oxford, N. H.,
and Fairlee, VT, as early as 1893, is
current In Oxford, and Rev. Mr..
Ward, now Of that place, thinks the
statement is correct.
Rev. Cyrus Mann of Plymouth, N.
H., and Lowell, Mass, cousin of
the late Judge Cyrus Mann of He
bron, gave an account in a Boston
paper many years ago of the true
story of the steamboat which he
himself saw when ne was a boy, on
the Connecticut river, before Fulton
had run his on the Hudson. or this
boat Morey made a model and took
1t to New York, where he was onered
by Fulton and Livingston one hun
bred thousand dollars If he would
perfect his invention and have the
engine in the middle instead of the
bow of the boat. This he succeeded
in doing, but when he came with his
improved model to New York he got
no satisfaction, but Livingston got a
monopoly of steam navigation upon
the Hudson from the New York leg
islature, and Fulton got his patent
Morey complained Of his treatment
as long as he lived, but the public
did not hear 1t, and Fulton got the
honors for an invention which he had
received from another"

on Trial at Montpelier.

-
The postponed case of Mabel e.
Simpson against the Rutland Railroad
company. opened Wednesday morning
in Washington County court, Montpe-
lier, two witnesses being examined by
the plaintiffs attorneys. This will
probably be the most important case
before the County court at this SEES

Tested by outsiders, who hocked to
the court room in large numbers.
There is quite an array of legal

Tense Is being looked after by II. II.
Powers Of Morrlsyllle, P. M. Mellon
Of Rutland and Senter G. Senter of
| Montpelier.
| The case grows out of the Vergen-
| mes wreck which occurred about two
years ago N which both Mr.. and Mrs.
Simpson were seriously injured, Mr..
Simpson recovering damages from
the road for his injuries. The defense
comedies the question OF liability, but
will make their fight ON the amount
of damages demanded, claiming that
$4,000, the sum demanded Is excess
| sive.
The case opened with the testi-
mony of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, who
testified as to the extent of Mrs
Simpsons injuries and also as to the
length of time she was unable to be
about. Mrs. Simpson stated that ever
since the accident sne has been more
or less of an invalid, having under
gone an operation in which parts Of
several internal organs were re-
moved.

Several newspapers in Vermont are
advocating the pure Australian ballot
system of voting-a ballot similar to
the form now used in town and city
elections where a ballot Is required
On this ticket all candidates are in
the same column and each candidate
under the same Office In alphabetical
order This form of ballot is in exis-
tence in Massachusetts, and appears
to give satisfaction there. OF course
such ballot would require more
crossing, but then when voter got
through he would have the satisfac.
ton of knowing he voted for every
man he wanted to. AS II is now he
places his cross at the head of the
column and says, Lord them are my
sentiments" 1t does look like a lazy
mans way of voting. Montpelier Ar
gus.
At the same time this spirit Of in
difference has to be taken into con-
sideration in the adoption of changes
in our system of voting. And al
lowance, too, must be made for the
unpleasant truth that there are many
voters who are not able to compre-
bend and correctly mark a ballot that
is at all complicated. 1t is far more
incumbent upon the lawmakers of the
state to construct method of voting
that can be understood by the larg
est number Of voters than to devise a
system that will facilitate the work
on election day. The present system
gives the voter sufficient opportuni
ty to exercise his choice in candi-
dates, provided he possesses sufficient
intelligence to take advantage of it
or, as the Argus intimates, is not too
lazy to do so.
