Board Of Agriculture and creating the
Office of Commissioner has had II serious
time. The bill provided for one COM
missioner aud was to carry u salary OF
only $500. This commissioner was To
hold meetings throughout the state,
gather statistics relating To the farming
Interests Of the state, advertise the
scenic attractions, natural resources, etc.
The sum OF $4,000 was to I've appropriate
ed for him to carry on the work. The
bill did not suit the Governor and many
of the leading members of the House
aud although it had once passed that
body it was reconsdered and sent back
to the committee for amendment. 1t is
still in TIL committees hands.
Besides the bills which have passed
both branches and gone to the Governor
there are many bills which have passed
one or the other, and their future des.
tiny is unknown. The work of the week
has progressed finely.
LEGISLATIVE NOTER.
If the state could honorably avoid the
1000 Lake Champlain appropriation
it would do SO. The commission APP
pointed at the last legislature had prac
tically promised New York and Canada
that Vermont would do her share. Mont
pelier rises to remark that in the cele.
blation OF her centenary she raised $40,
900 within her own limits and had @
tiue celebration without state aid. The
people of the Lake Champlain Valley
should have done the same.
Some think that Senator Gibson's
success as a presiding officer in the Sen
ate may lead him to seek place on the
state ticket later.
A new departure in adjournments
was taken Friday When both branches
adjourned until Monday evening instead
of Monday afternoon.
1t is thought this will give all mem
bers chance to be present.
Many schools have visited the legis
lature during the past week. On Thurs
day about fifty students of Peacham
! Academy were present, among them
daughter of Representative EMERSON.
"A largely attended meeting of bank
men from all over the state was held
Thursday. They were called together
by the Committee on Banks for the pnr.
Pose Of discussing the merits of the pro,
posed bank legislation.
There were several examples of hasty
legislation last week. Que bill in The
! House was killed, the vote was after
wards reconsidered and there is now a
chance of its passage. A bill was
passed in the Senate and afterwards re-
considered and after considerable argu-
nent it was passed again.
The Senate has worked itself up to a
pitch where it is ready to discuss the 40
called 'junket bills. They came very
near killing one allowing the Governor
to appoint members of the penal ins,i-
buttons to visit prison congress to be
held at Denver, all expenses of the trip
to he borne by the state. After several
yea and nay votes the bill was amended
so as to permit only one person to go.
The extent to which some members
Will go for the sake of introducing
bill is shown by bill which has been
introduced giving blacksmith a len
upon horses shod by him until he Its
his pay. The bill even provided that
the lien shall hold even as against prior
chattel mortgages and lien notes.

FIFTH WEEK..

Tom Cheney, Speaker of the House
is willing to receive congratulations Of
the splendid work he has been able to
get done during the past week. His
persistent attitude against the adjourn
msnt for election came near making a
breach in the ranks, but when the re-
turns showed that more than two hun
dred members had stayed in Montpelier
to vote and TO work, every one was will
ing to concede that the Speak e' = efforts
had not been in vain.
Although the Senate did not get down
to business until Wednesday morning
the record of the week for both branches
of the Assembly shows that more was
really accomplished than DUNG the
whole first four weeks. Owing to the
absence of Lieut-Gov. Mead, Senator
Gibson Of Brattlsboro has been presid-

The Hardwick Gazette has many
excellent ideas and suggestions.
On the other hand, it seems impos-
sible for the contemporary to speak
editorially without knocking"
something or somebody. Running
through its comments there is a
depressing view of chronic pessi-
mism. In this manner it speaks
Vi our legislators
The push is certainly very green
and ineffective lot Of cooperage timber
and whether it can be- steamed and
kiluhried into shape to produce desired
results at this session is a question"
What figure of speech is here
intended is not altogether clear
yet we venture to say that such
language will not act as a spur tc
our Ia vmakers. but only serve to
bring them unmerited contempt
There is 10 criticism there is rid
icule.
Again, an able editorial, upon
the bill allowing the killing OF
sight of dog which attempts tc
bite passer by or annoy his team
or chases stock, is considerably
spoiled by this concluding sentence

so long as a morgrel, flea-infested, yell

When the trustee process exemp

When the trustee process eNemp-
ton bill appeared two years ago,
we argued, and we argue now
that such a measure. although cal
culated to improve the situation
OF the wage Garner and those de-
pendent upon him, will have an
opposite effect. In these days OF
weekly payment to employees
such a law will mean that there
can he no successful trustee process
used against a wage-earning debt
or unless his wages are at least
$40 per week. and such a limit
probably renders the trustee proc
ess no longer available against
nine-tenths of wage-earners.
But our argument is in favor
OF these wage earners, and moi
against them rather i'll favor
of their wives and children. Lee
this act become a law, and nc
merchant can afford to do business
with these men except on a casl
basis. What of the fairly numer
Gus cases-known to all OF us
where the wife and children ar,
secured a roof over their heads ant
food ana fuel, because Landlords
and merchants are willing to ex
tend credit to the husbands earn
ing ability and by reason of tn
possibility of holding his wage
by trustee process ? What of tn
cases where the husband and faiths

The Hardwick Gazette is quite
right in saying:
at is better for a member of the legis'

or two good and desirable things than
to insist on having finger in every pie

atoms"

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routet
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case OF DR.. D. Dennis,
the eminent skin specialist of Chi
cago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil Of wintergreen. properly mixed
with other simple remedies, was
practically a sure cure for eczema,
psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerIne
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen to produce the real ecze-
ma cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant It is applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid
does away with deleterious drugs so
long used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema Is first and
all the time, a skin disease.
II you want to know more about
the merits ofsD. D. D. Prescription,
call at our store. We vouch for this
remedy. Pendleton Drug Co.

All are now busy gathering fodder
for the coming winter. Although
the crop is light the spring sowing is
coming on later and will make a fair
crop. The recent showers are bringing
it out.
Judge Gilliland, his wife and son,
accompanied by Christopher Bolen,
the judges father-in-law, passed
through here Saturday on their way
to Hidaway springs for a week or 10
days outing.
A large number OF settlers here
have gone to Hidaway and Lehman
to spend the day swimming and
bathing and saving Doctors bills when
the weather Is so hot.
The stork has again visited the H.
F. Connell ranch and this time old
Mother Doe has brought forth into
the world a beautiful spotted fawn,
increasing the little herd to five deer,
which should be engaged for exhibit
at the fair this fall. We think they
can be secured by paying the trans
portation and keep while the fair is
going on. They are fine specimens
Of the mountains and would be a
drawing card.
Every few days one can see pros
pectors going into the hills with pack
horses loaded with grub, blankets,
pick and shovel to try their luck, for
the hidden treasure. 1t reminds real
old-timers of the days OF 40, and
that a mining boom will again strike
this country is as sure as the sun that
sets.

from the democratic primaries held

The latest returns, however, have
been favorable to Davidson, the in

Lewiston, Idaho, July 2S.-The re-
form forces of the city are preparing
a petition asking for the recall Of
Mayor Henry Heitfeld and Council
men Phillips, Booth and Salsberg.
The causes which led up to the ac-
tion are the result Of the recent city
election, in which three new members
Of the city council were chosen, and
the reorganization of that body eff
feeted.
The new members, at a recent
meeting began cutting expenditures
and chopping salaries, but they were
met by a solid front on the part Of
the holdovers and the tie vote was
settled by the mayor voting with the
members Of the old council. The
question Of paving is hanging in the
balance and may be defeated in the
heat Of the controversy.
