Cook, a former well-known resident of Guilford nnd Brnttlcboro, died suddenly In his home In Fltchburg, Mnss., Saturday night from heart fail ure. Mr. Cook was born In Morlah, N. Y., In 183G nnd wna therefore In his 76th year. He served In tho Civil war as a member of Company F, First Ver mont Cavalry, enlisting In Brattlcboro Sept. 17, 1861. Ho was one of tho 800 picked men of the cavalry division of tho Army of tho Potomac who partici pated In Gen. Kllpatrlck's attempt to effect a release of Union prisoners In Richmond, Vn., March 1, ISC I, and was taken prisoner nt that tlmo with 11 men of Company F. Four of tho 11 were paroled at the end of six months, nnd of tho remainder Mr. Cook was the only survivor of tho hardships of rebel pris ons. Mr. Cook participated In nil of tho engagements of the famous First Ver mont Cavalry from the time of his en listment until March 1, 1864, and from that date he was for 12 months a pris oner of war and was confined In South ern prisons ns follows: Bello Isle, Va., until April 1, 1861 i Richmond, Va., until Mny 31. 1861; Andersonvllle, until Oct. 26, 1S61; Florence, until March 28, 1865.

Cook, a well-known merchant of Fltchburg, and a daughter, Mrs. Ada L. Cook Colvln, also of Fltchburg. The Vermont Campaign. The appearance of two such strong Progressives ns Governor Hadley of Missouri and Senator Borah of Idaho on the stump In Vermont for Taft next month is certainly a political sign of Importance. No two men who went to Chicago forRoosevelt came out of that contest with more credit. Hadley could have secured the presidential nomina tion, It seems certain, If Roosevelt had been willing to step aside in his favor. He Is waging a splendid war for good government In Missouri and holds the confidence of the people without regard to party. Senator Borah's strength and Independence we recently commented upon. He Is a rough and ready speaker of real power and excellence and ought to strike the people of Vermont ns an effective aid to the cause of Taft. It will be Interesting to see upon what lines Hadley nnd Borah frame their ad dresses. They are both too positive to make stand-pat utterances and it Is probable that their chief point will be that Progressive Republicans can sup port President Taft with better grace and more consistency than by casting their ballots for the Democratic or a third party candidate. Boston Transcript. Mexican City Wrecked by Earthquake. Nature Is doing what she can to In crease Mexico's troubles. Guadalajara, capital of the state of Jalisco, a city sec ond only In population and Importance to the City of Mexico, hns suffered another and very serious earthquake shock. Sev eral thousand people are homeless, scarcely a structure In the city escaped damage, and large areas are masses of ruins. The cathedral, one of the grand est In the republic architecturally nnd In Its dimensions, decorations and orna mentations, wns split In two, ns was the municipal palace. Tho population of Guadalajara was given In 1006 ns 102,000. It Is a very Important mining centre, and is noted for its pottery and skilfully-wrought figures In clay, and Its drawnwork. The educational facillt'es there rank next to those of the capital city. British Insurance Law In Force. The national compulsory Insurance act adopted by the British Parliament under the initiative of Chancellor of the Ex chequer Lloyd-George, went into effect on Monday, with Its sweeping provisions for the compulsory Insurance on the lives of about 14,000,000 people between the ages of 16 and 70 years, whose earn ings are $800 or less a year. The only important friction In the operation of the new law Is the revolt of the medi cal practitioners, who say they will not attend patients at the low rates stipu lated In the act. The government of fered $1.12 as the annual fee to doctors for each person insured, but the doc tors ask for $2.14 each. The mass of working people were quick to take ad vantage of the law, and within three days over 10,000,000 persons had regis tered to become eligible. La Follette Gives Roosevelt Hot Shot. In a slashing editorial In his paper, Senator La Follette praises Bryan for his course at Baltimore and assails the course of Roosevelt. The senator charges that Roosevelt had as great a chance to serve his cause at Chicago as Bryan had to servo his party at Balti more but that Roosevelt's sole purpose was the nomination for himself. La Follette asserts that Roosevelt could have forced the nomination of some other progressive, of Hadley, for In stance, whom thousands would, have sup ported who now will go to Wilson. La Follette charges that neither Taft nor Roosevelt had an honest majority of the convention. Tcncher "Now, Willie, whero did you get that chewing gum? I want the trutn." "You don't want tho truth, teacher, an' I'd ruther not tell a lie." Teacher "How dare you say I don't want the truth! Tell me at once where you got that chewing gum." Willie "Under your desk." The morals of some men seem to run on flat wheels. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets Mutt Cure Indigestion or They are Free. W. F. Root of Brattleboro and C. H.
