Believe Cancer Caused Death,

TI'SVC NaIINCI OaUSOU DCdkIIs
In spite of all official denials. the
belief that King Edwards death was
fastened by cancer will never be dis
lodged from the minds of the people.
The foundation for his fatal illness
is traced to taint in the royal fam
lily. The old throat affection of the
king that caused the postponment of
his coronation and many times caused
alarm, is held directly responsible for
the attack of pneumonia, which, it
Is given out, was the immediate cause
of death.

Pembertnn. promoter and engineer.
Several days ago Lewis Pemberton
had designed to confide to his atten.
dant corps a fact that had long since
been suggested by the radiant shin
ing of his eyes and his frequent out
bursts of gay. impulsve laughter
that the young lady. back home, had
finally come to a favorable decision,
and was now expected, accompanied
by her mother and several friends, to
spend month or so in the crude but
hospitable shelter of her fiance's cot
tage. Pemberton had selected three
of the boys to act as guides and gem
eraf cavaliers to the ladies' during on
hours-Newton, Jim Howard and
young Dick Marston. f
Newton and Howard had jumped at
the invitation but Dick had shaken
his head with finality, pleading that
he was too busy. Pemberton had re-
piled, Wait till you see the girls, my
boy" and had laughed Immoderately.

Pemberton's betrothed would be col.

frivolous banter of the girls whom
Newton and Jim Howard were now
finding SO enchanting in their first en-

festive little cottage on the hillside.

midst OF gloom, scared and over

and yardmen which began on the
Grand Trunk and Central Vermont
systems on July 18, was officially
called off last night. Under the
terms of the agreement signed by
President Hays for the railroads and

they struck, but an advance in many

The COUNTY CONVENTION
More about the Republican County
Convention at Newport. Hill
Finally Wins.

AS our readers will recall, our issue of
a week ago went to press before the
long drawn out contest for high sheriff
was finished at the republican county
convention at Newport, Wednesday,
July 27. The rest of the results of the
convention were given briefly as they
were sent to this office by wire.
Hill won the sheriff fight on the
sixteenth ballot, after Wakefield
withdrew from the contest, most of
his men going to the Hill forces.
Erastus Buck, the close second to Hill
in the sheriff contest was nominated for
high bailiff and this completed the
nomination as found at the head of
the editorial column on page two.
The convention was supposed tohave
been called at 10 o'clock in the fore
noon but owing to delays of various
natures it was nearly 2 o'clock before
business was begun and it was nearly 6
o'clock before adjournment was taken,
so late in fact that Congressman Fos-
ter of Burlington who had come to
address the convention returned with
out speaking, much to the regret of
all present. 1t took more than two
hours to elect sheriff. The contest
is considered one of the hottest the
county has ever seen and there were
many surprises. Owing to complica-
tions on the contest for side judge,
sheriff, judge of probate and other
offices some swapping" of unpledged
delegations was done.
Putting this report with that of last
week, the history of the convention
will be complete, with the exception

Dear Doctor:
Microscopical examination of blood

Cultures show no colon or typhoid.
Differential count shows a leukocyto-

Some infiammatory condition not ty-

M. F. Prime, M. D.,
Barton Vt.
Dear Doctor:
1--WE have examined a number of
those specimens sent by different
physicians at DR.. Holton's request
during the last few days and find
them universally negative. The
symptoms would also seem to preclude
typhoid fever, short duration of rath-
er violent onset warrants the con-
clusion that they are not typhoid. In
reference to the reaction it would not
be surprising in large number of
cases of intestinal gastritis to find
an occasional reaction. I am for
warding all these laboratory findings
to DR.. Holton and have no doubt you
will receive his version of the matter
within short time.
Very truly yours,
B. H. Stone"
