STRING OF DIAMONDS.
Thirty-five in all Presented to Mrs.
Roosevelt by Friends.

Washington, March "A string of
thirty-f1ve diamonds and an illumined
and embossed friendship book have
been presented to Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt as a token of the esteem of
thirty-eight of her friends, prominent
society women of Washington. The
two gifts were taken to the White
House by Miss May Williams and Mrs.
Robert Hit wife of Congressman
Hit of Pennsylvania, members of the
committee who purchased them. They
were not presented to Mrs. Roosevelt
in person but were handed to an at
tendant at the White House door.
The names of the other donors have
not been made public.
While the cost of the string of dia-
monds is unknown, some estimate of
its value may be made from the
knowledge that the contributions
ranged from $50 to 800 from each
of the thirty-eight donors. The cen
the other thirty-four are graduated
down to quarter carat diamonds at
either side of the small clasp. The
luminosity of the necklace is height
ened by platinum rim.
The friendship book, measuring
by 10 inches. is bound in cream col
ored calf skin wholly embossed and
lined with moire silk. In the center
of the cover Mrs. RooseveIt's mono

SPOKANE WILL WIN.
Opinion of Famous Rate Case Is Now
in Hands of Printer.

Chicago. March 2.-''The famous
Spokane rate case, which has been in
the hands of the commission for more
than two years, is now with the
printer says the Record-Herald to-
day. 1T is understood that the de-
cision will be given within a week
and that it is favorable to Spokane.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that
the commission insists that the trans
continental freight rates to Spokane
shall be reduced between fifty and
twenty-six cents per 100 pounds. The
first figure is said to be the reduction
ordered on first class articles and the
last figure is the reduction on fifth
class. Reductions on the other classes
range between these figures.
Spokane complained against hav-
ing to pay, in the majority of cases,
the rate to the Pacific coast plus the
local rate from there back to Spokane,
which, the railroads said, was neceS-
sary because of the water competition.
If this decision is as rumored, it will,
railroad officials assert, make Spokane

Dean HOweIIs Is Not Troubled by
Foreign Immigration.

New York, March 2.-Dean Howells,
in an address before the Society of

is not we who assimilate the immi-

migration has the effect of making us
more immutable as a nation. Some
immigrants come to our shores better
Americans than some who are here.
So. although New York is a larger

even, we need have no fear. AT any
rate, since it is the Italians who must
assimilate US, theirs is the response

INTERESTING FACTS.
w. L. Gokay Offers to Cure catarrh
The Medicine Costs Nothing If
He Fails.

When medicine effects a cure in
9S per cent of cases, and when we of
fer that medicine on our own person
al guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing If it does not cure Catarrh,
it is only reasonable that people
should believe us, or at least put our
claim to practical test when we take
all the risk. These are facts which
we want the people of Bennington to
substantiate. We want them to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone, medicine prepar-
ed from prescription of a physician
whose speciality was Catarrh and who
has a record of thirty years of cures
to his credit
Wesell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall Mucu
Tone than We do of all other catarrh
remedies sold in our store and if more
people only knew what a thoroughly
dependable remedy ReXall Mucu-Tone
is, it would be the only catarrh medi-
cine we would have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorb
ed and carried by the blood until II
thoroughly disinfects and cleanses
the entire mucous membranous tract,
destroys and removes the parasites
which iniure and destroy the men,
branous tissues, soothes and heals the
irritation and soreness, stops the mu-
cous discharge, and builds up strong,
healthy tissue, relieves the blood and
system of diseased matter, stimulates
the mucocells, aids digestion and i'm
proves nutrition until the whole body
vibrates with healthy activity. In a
comparatively short time there is a
most noticeable gain in weight,
strength, good color and feeling of
buoyancy.
We urge you to try Mucu-Tone be-
ginning treatment today. At any
time you are not satisfied, simply
come and tell us, and we will quickly
return your money without question
or bubble. We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes, soc. and S100. VIM

For the first time since the local
option law went into effect there is
fight on in Bennington over the ques-
ton of license or no license. The sup
porters Of license are confident while
the friends of no license are hopeful
and working hard, One thing is evi-
dent here are sure to be more no votes
than ever before in Bennington and
if the town goes wet it will be because
the voters on that side get out and
hustle. If only a small vote is out
at the election tomorrow, the town is
likely to go dry.

In the midst of so much controversy
over the license and courthouse ques-
tons tomorrow the voters should not
forget the town ticket. The main
thing of course is the selectmen and
the question is whether to re-elect the
present board who have reduced the
town debt over $4,000 the past FIVE
years, or to turn them out and put
in some other gentlemen who mean
well but have had no experience in
the conduct of town affairs.
