A BILL.

For the relief of Thomas j.
Atkins, assistant treasurer Of the
United States at ST. Louis, Mis-.
souri,:
BE it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives OF
the United States of America in
Congress assembled. that the sum
of sixty.Oue thousand five hun
dred dollars be, aud the same is
hereby apportioned out of any
money in the Treasury not other.
wise appropriated TO make good
the shortage in the cash in the sub.
treasury of the United States at
St. Louis. Missouri, alleged to
have been caused by defalcatlons
OF the late receiving teller in said
subtreasury. aud that the said
Thomas j Atkins. assistant treas.
urer of the United States at Saint
Louis, Missouri, be, and he is here.
by relieved from any liability by
reason of such shortage, the same
not having occurred through any
fault or negligence on his part. -
The above is Senate Bill No.
1923. introduced by Senalar VIM.
j. Stone, of Missouri, appropriat.
ing SCI 800 from the public treas
urY to replace the amount stolen
from the treasury at st. Louis,
under the charge Of Thos. j.
Atkins. Senator Stone attempts to
dodge responsibility for the intro.
ductiOn of the bill on the grounds
OF Senatorial Courtesy" under
which one senator from the state
takes care of the desk of collea-
que who is absent or sick. But
the Congressional Record shows
that Senator Warner was in his
seat at the time of the introduc.
ton of this bill, and that Senator
Stone is wholly responsible for
this attempt to take from the pub.
llc treasury the sum Of SCI 800.
Auyone can verify the truthful
ness of the above by examination
page l9l of the Congressional Re.
cord for December 10th. 1906
Columbia Herald.
We don't believe Mr.. Atkins
knew anything about who got the
Sol 900 If any body, but one
thing we do know, that had Mr..
Atkins been in his Office attending
to his business, instead of gallon.
ing over the country making poIit.
ical speeches, the theft might not
have occurred. In other words,
had Mr. Atkins been at his Office
looking after the interest of the
government, he would then have
had better excuse to ask the gov
eminent to reimburse him for the
loss.
But unless he can show he was
attending to his duties, we are Cd
pos d to paying one cent out of the
treasury to make good the shortage
Of relieving him from any respon.
sibility whatever. If we were
President, we would chop every
mans head Off from $40 postoffice
appointments to cabinet position
whn left his Office and made a DO,
litical speech after his appointment

The Optic News is a Republican

does it support Senator Stone fol

HOOSICK FALLS

The Nousaskian Debating society
will meet for debate on Monday after
noon, Jan. 20.
At the recent meeting of the Hoosac
club the following board of managers
were chosen: Danforth Geer, Levi
E. Worden, Delmer Runkle, William
p. Putnam, William Portman, Charles
A. Cheney, Fred N. Stevens, William
H. Copeland, Willis Z Heaton, Mel

the election Impersonator Reynolds of
Boston furnished a rare entertainment
after which refreshments were serv-
ed.
Town Clerk William P. Haynes
states that he has had his first appli-
cation for marriage license under
the new law, but that he has not Is
sued his first license as yet. Arthur
B. Hazelton and Miss Clara Hon Of
Sunderland, VT. made application for
license this week, but the statements
as to the age of the bride-to-be ON her
part and on that of Mr.. Hazelton, were
haZy, II not quite contradictory; and
her appearance Is said to have been
that of fifteen year old child. Town
Clerk Haynes therefore refused to be
party to the transaction, and Miss
Hon said she would go back home for
the written consent Of her parents, Sc
cure certification to the effect that
she was 10 years old, and would come
back to Hoosick Falls to make another
application for license.

Vermont Has Now 1916 Machines, q
Gain Of 4SS In 1907.

Sain OF 4SS IN l9UT.
Rutland, Jan. 13.-Charles A. Mat
thews, secretary of the Rutland Coun.
ty Automobile club, has received from
the American Automobile association
with which the local organization is
affiliated, a communication asking
that the local association notify the
Vermont delegation In Congress that
its members favor the bill for a pro-
posed national law, looking to the reg.
ulation, registration and Identification
of automobiles. The club will without
doubt do this.
Under the present system where
each state has a different automobile
law 1t is necessary for machine own
er, II he obeys the laws, to register in
every state he passes through during
a tour. Although New Jersey was
about the only state to enforce the law
strictly the past season other commun-
tiles might have done so and made II
very unpleasant for tourists. In New
Jersey, the past year II was not uncom
mon for New Yorker who happened
to cross the line during an afternoon S
spin, to be arrested II he did not carry
New Jersey register.
The object of the proposed new law
is to do away with all this by recog-
milton of the A. A. A. register In all
states.
II is interesting to know that up to
January l, 1908 there were 1876 auto
mobiles registered in Vermont. The
gain during 1907 was 4SS and 1923 dur.
ing 1906. Rutland county had 80 reg
istered machines at the close of the
automobile season In the fall.

FEEBLE K DNEYs.
Cause Most Of the Rheumatism says an
Authority ON Dread Disease.

Recent hospital reports show that
the dread disease, rheumatism, is
steadily increasing throughout the
country. All known means of relief
are being suggested to save the great
amount of suffering this winter, es-
pecially among those who are not in
a position to pack up and visit the
noted health resorts to be treated. Re-
cent tests prove rheumatism not lex
actly disease in itself, but a severe
symptom of kidney trouble, condit-
ion caused by clogged up pores Of the
elimlnative tissues In the kidneys
which fail to filter the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid from hte blood,
permitting these substances to remain
in the veins and decompose, usually
settling about the joints and muscles,
causing intense pain, swelling and
stiffness of rheumatism.
A we'll known Specialist who has
probably treated more cases of rheu-
matism than anyone else, and who is
| also the most successful gives the fol-
| lowing simple treatment which is
harmless and inexpensive and so SIM
pie that anybody can mix it at home.
The ingredients are. Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three vegetable ingredients and
mix them by shaking in bottle, TAX
ing as a dose a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
But unless you go to the trouble to
ask the druggist for the Dandelion and
Sarsaparilla separately, and then buy
one ounce Kargon Compound, in an
original (unopened) package, plain
ly printed. Guaranteed No. 10S, under
National Drug Law. and mix the Kar-
gon with the other ingredients at your
home, you had better not use this eff
fective prescription at all 1t may be
worse than useless, perhaps even
harmful and your money wasted. I'm
der no circumstances accept the pres
cription all ready prepared, nor accept
any excuse for offering 1t to you that
way. Purchase separately the Kar-
gon Compound, No. los Guarantee. as
explained above, and mix these three
ingredients at home yourself, or don't
use at all.
There is nothing better in the world
for backache. kidney and bladder
trouble, too. Such symptoms as fire.
quent and painful urination, soreness,
weakness, general and nervous debil-
ity are caused by certain acids and
poisonous waste matter, decayed tbs.
sue, etc. in the blood, which the kid.
news will clear and purify after "A few
doses of this prescription.

Senator Proctor Trying to Make Ar
rangements With Canada.

Senator Redfield Proctor, of Proc
tor, called at the White House Mon
day in regard to negotiations which
are being carried on with Canada
looking to an arrangement whereby
the Canadians will desist from TAX
ing fish by seine from that portion of
Lake Champlain which extends into
Canadian territory. Coupled with the
negotiations regarding this lake are
other disputes between the Canadian
government and the United States re-
garding fishing rights.
The Lake Champlain negotiations
are those I'm which the senator was
most interested and he explained that
It was the fault of the fish in this in
stance that they were caught in Can
ada. He said they followed the shore
line of the lake on the New York
side up into Canada, and back into
their breeding grounds on the Yer
mont side. While In Canadian waters
they were caught by the carloads In
seines, and in this manner he pre-
dicted 1t would be but a short time
before the pike species would be com.

MiIiionaire's EARLY Insanity.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The attor.
neys for Harry K. Thaw at his trial
began relentlessly to build up the case
Of legal insanity which they have In
terposed In his behalf as a defense for
the killing of Stanford White. The
two principal witnesses of the day
were Professor Charles II. Koehler OF
Winona, MIMI, who acted as instruct
or to Thaw In the Wooster (O1 univer-
sity in 1885, and Mrs. Amy Grozette
Of San Mateo, Cal, who attended
Thaw as a trained nurse at Monte
Carlo in 1897. They both told of the
young mans eccentricities and declar-
ed that his manner always was ira
tional.
DR.. John T. Deemar of Kittanning
Pa, one Of the Thaw family physi-
clans, also was heard, as were the at
tending physicians of three institutions
for the insane where members Of
Thaw's family on both paternal and
maternal sides were confined.
District Attorney Jerome by unex-
pectedly invoking the sacred privileges
Of physician and patient blocked much
Of the testimony as to unsoundness Of
mind In the Thaw family, but the cali
ing Of the witnesses and the questions
they were allowed by the court to an
swer left the desired impression upon
the jury.
Mr.. Jerome explained that the law
compelled him to object to such testI-
mony without an express waiver from
the patients. Even the nurse who at
tended Thaw was not allowed to testl-
fy until Thaw personally had made a
waiver of the confidential privilege In
