Forty years ago, or even thirty
years into the past for that matter,
had any one in Vermont suggested
Col. Bennett Young, the man who
lead the celebrated st. Adams raid,
for Fourth of July orator in the rail
road city, the bold persons relatives
would have called for council of
physicians at the probate Office and
the appointment of a guardian would
have been seriously considered. AS
the world grows older, however, il is
becoming more tolerant and liberal
and humanity in general is coming TO
learn that racial or sectional bitter
ness is reactionary and that the
haters and not the hated are the real
losers Next to Burlington, where
President Taft and party will be the
guests of honor, st. Adams has Sc
cured the most distinguished visitor
for tercentenary week and we trust
that the railroad city's welcome to
the former raider will be just as
heartfelt as was the desire of its citi-
.ens to fill him full of bullets a little
more than four score years ago.

The public service commission bill
was drafted and introduced in the
last legislature by Representative
Barber of Brattleboro. 1t was oppos-
ed by powerful lobby maintained by
the corporation interests, but was fin
ally passed by narrow margin al
though in a form far different from
the one in which it was introduced,
many of its radical features being
eliminated Yet in its present form
the bin ought to prove to benefit alike
to the public and the public service
corporations of the state, particularly
if the commissioners, John w. Red

Wilmington and S. HOLSTER Jackson
of Barre, display the same sound iudg
ment they have in the main shown in

AN ITCHING PAL
No Cure for It.. Other Forms Of Itch
ina Preferable

There is no cure for an itching
palm-the money kind. Even poslam
the new skin discovery, cannot help
it. But when it comes to eczema,
the most annoying of itching skin
troubles, poslam will stop the itching
at once and cure the worst cases in n
few days. SO with hives, rash, scab-
les. split toes, piles, and scaly scalp,
all of which are different forms of &c
zema, accompanied by severe Itching
and caused by imperfect digestion
and careless diet.
Poslam comes in two dollar jars but
fifty cents worth will answer in cur
ing any of the diseases mentioned. 1t
can be had of any druggist VIM. l..
Gokay, makes a speciality of it.
That results are immediate will be
amply demonstrated overnight by the

EXPULSION OF CASTRO
Former Venezuelan Dictator Driven
From Martinique.


Former Venezuelan Dictator Driven
From Martinique.
Fort de Frace, Martinique, April IL.
Prior to being taken aboard the
steamer Versailles for deportation to
France. ex-President Castro prepared
a written protest against the action
of the French government which has
been submitted to the authorities
here. II reads as follows:
Il hereby protest against the act
ion of the French authorities of Mar
Unique In having me put by force on
board an outgoing vessel: First. be-
cause | was i'll at the time and be-
cause the act imperiled my life; Sec
ond, because | have committed no Of
tense against the government OF
France and the authorities of Martin
ique during the time that was per-
mitted to remain on that island. and
finally, because the decree of expul-
sion which orders my deportation out
of French territory compels me to
take passage aboard vessel which
will again land me on French terri
tory.
Moreover, these considerations
aside. the case constitutes breach
of international law and a denial OF
the rights of individuals. That such
thing should have come to pass in
the land which saw the birth of JOS
ephine and from which came the in
SEPARATION and pressage of liberty, and
at the hands of people who shed
their blood by torrents hardly cen
fury ago to maintain unimpaired the
rights and prerogatiyes of man, is. in
conceivable.
The ex-president said just before
the sailing of the Versailles that If
he was at liberty when he arrived at
St Nazajre he would Immediately pro-
coed to Spain in order to take passage
for Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. Gen Cas-
tro added that he was leaving his
brother Carmelo here for the purpose
of receiving mail which he expects to
be forwarded from Trinidad and Ven
ezuela.
The Versailles will stop at Basse
Terre and Point-a-Pitre Guadeloupe.
Hardly had the steamer left port last
night when party of Castro's friends
arrived on the steamer Goelette from
Saint Lucia. They were very much
surprised that the former president
had been expelled from the island and
had a long consultation with Castros
brother.
The removal of the exile from the
hotel to the steamer was not without
it's pitiful aspect. When. immediate
ly on announcement by the medical
commission that Castro was quite ca
pable of making the voyage, the Com
missary of Police, with an escort of
gendarmes invaded the hotel and pro-
ceeded to his chamber, they found the
ex-president lying in bed. Although
he still protested that he could not
move. they carried him down stairs
on mattress, the patient all the while
moaning dismally and placed him in
a stretcher officers from the United
States cruiser North Carolina in civ
ilian dress, helped to make him as
comfortable as possible and then the
stretcher was picked up by four ne
groes and taken to the steamer dock.
Gendarmes guarded it on either side
and crowd Of people numbering full
ly 1000 followed the procession
through the streets.

Rheumatism Cannot Be
Cured Unless Uric-O
Is Used
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acids

Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acids
The Rheumatic person is skeptical
regarding the claims of almost any
remedy advertised as a cure for Rheu-
matism and one can scarcely blame
him for being so. All the plasters
and liniments combined never actually
cured a case of Rheumatism. They
may relieve il in one quarter but 1t is
sure to break out somewhere else.
The only true way to cure Rheuma-
tism is to drive it from the system. for
rs long as the Uric and Rheumatic
Acid remains in the blood, one is new
er entirely free from the trouble.
Uric-O seeks out the Rheumatic poi
son in the blood, muscles and kidneys
renders it inert and harmless and
drives it out of the system. It is CON-
posed of perfect antidotes for the rheu
matte acid poison in the system, and
the secret of its wonderful success
lies in the fact that 1t is designed to
cure Rheumatism only.
Uric-O is sold by B. A. Quinlan at
rs cents and $1.0O the bottle. A lib
eral sample may be procured by writ
ing to the Smith Drug Co., 2S7 Smith
Building, Syracuse, N. Y.

Bolton. April 10.-The mangled re-
mains of a man were found on the
track of the Central Vermont railroad
two miles south of this place this af-
ternoon, being discovered by a team
ster for the Howe G. Tracy Lumber
company. II was evident that several
trains had passed over the mans body
and it is probable that he was killed
last night
After the remains had been discOv-
cred the southbound passenger train,
No. s, was stopped and Engineer Ran
dali and Trainmaster John Keefe of
st. Adams who happened to be on the
train, made an investigation. They
found that the body was that of a man
about thirty years of age. The legs
lay between the rails while the trunk
had been thrown to the west side of
the track They concluded that sew
eral trains had passed since the man
was first struck.
Trainmaster keefe understands that
the man boarded the northbound train
at Middlesex last evening and that he
was in an intoxicated condition.
When the man was discovered by the
mail clerk he was put off the train at
Bolton as he did not have transporta-
ton. It is likely that the man while
wandering about in his muddled con
dition was struck by train and run
over.

When Hartman ordered the work
commenced the directors and even the
engineers were skeptical. but millions
were voted and the engineers started.
There were sinks and "bottomless
pits. which Hartman instructed
should be filed without thought of
quitting, until finally 1O3 miles of level
road was completed, and on
which the operating men Of the
Southern Pacific figured a saving of
100000 to $1,000. 900 in the first year
OF service, and no account was taken
of the traffic facilities added by the
Improvement.
Yet. when the Ogdeu-Lucin cutoff
was well under consideration and
kruttschnitt and Hood appeared in
Salt Lake to hear the protests OF the
brilliant minds of that city. both
gentlemen were insulted because they
persisted In declaring that the cutoff
could be built. Kruttschnitt and Hood
are entitled to stand with Hartman in
the history of this undertaking. as
upon them fell the responsibility OF
deciding on the feasibility OF the great
trestle and they said:
