Correction at Rutland.

Rutland, Aug. 5.-Governor Charles

pelier, his secretary, and Edwin j
Davis Of Chester, a member of the
penal board, visited the house of cor
rection in this city yesterday, leav-
ing in the afternoon by motor car for
Windsor to look over the state pris-
on. The executive spoke in flattering
terms of conditions as he found them
at the house of correction. He check
ed up those who are out ON parole
with view to seeing that the state
takes recognition of all breaches OF
parole by persons out of its penal in
stitutions on condition of good behav-
Tor. The governor stopped to chat,
while en- route in his car, with var
ious road gangs who are at work on
state highways in this vicinity.

ECHOES
From Manchester Cent G
Winchester Center Happenings Al
ways Interest Our Readers.


After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question
naturally arises: rs this medicine
equally successful in nearby places?''
The generous statement of this Man
chester Center resident leaves no
room for doubt on this point.
James Kennedy, Manchester Cen
ter, says: For years my back and
kidneys bothered me and the trouble
became so bad at times, that | could
hardly stoop or straighten. Morn
ings when first got up, my back was
lame and stiff and pains extended
from my kidneys into my loins and
hips. The kidney secretions were un
natural and was really in bad shape
when ! began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. They helped me at once and
it was not long before they had fixed
me up in good shape. My back was
strengthened, the pains were remov-
ed and my health was restored.
Whenever | have felt in need Of a
kidney medicine since, | have taken
a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have received benefit"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doans Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Kennedy had. Foster-Milburn

THIS WOMAN A POWER.
Bernice Mccoy of Idaho Administers
Nearly 100000 Acres of Land

Miss Bernice Mccoy is said to have
the widest official powers of any wo-
man in this country. Miss Mccoy
has just been elected State superin-
tendent of instruction of Idaho and a
member of the State land board
This latter position gives the State
superintendent q greater power than
that held by any similar ofceholder
in any other State. BY reason Of
this Miss Mccoy practically controls
nearly 100000 acres of land, school
property.
When Idaho was admitted to the
Union the national government gave
certain sections of land amounting to
more than 100000 acres for school
endowment purposes. This land is
being sold at the rate of 1860 acres
a year at a minimum of SO an acre.
The money from the sales goes into
the irreducible school endowment
fund only the interest being used.
The management of this great sum of
money is in Miss McCoy's hands. At
present it is said to amount to nearly
$5,000,000.
This position of State superintend-
/ ent of schools has been held by wo-
men ever since Idaho passed the
equal suffrage bill in 1896. Only once
has man tried to get the Office. He
was so badly beaten that nobody now
recalls his name.
During the 10 years that the wo-
men have held this Office they have
made irrigation contracts that
amounted to $3OO,OOO,OO0. They have
leased and released these school
lands to the amount of s5,000,000 and
never lost a dollar.
Before her election Miss Mccoy
was the assistant of Miss Grace Shep-
herd, her immediate predecessor in
the Office of State superintendent of
instruction. Miss Mccoy is native
of Idaho, a graduate from and later
a teacher in the State Normal school
at Lewiston.-New York Sun.
