Mileage Ticket Honesty.

Nathan French, the driver of the st.
Johnsbury House coach, found and re-
turned to the owner two mileage tick
cts this week. Mr.. French's example
is commended to some in this commu-
nifty who have borrowed mileage tick
cts and failed to return them. The
other day the writer met gentleman
in the cars who handed to the conduct
or regular ticket from st. Johnsbury
to Boston. When asked how he could
afford to travel in so expensive a man
ner and why he did not buy or borrow
mileage ticket, he answered, "Oh,
own a mileage ticket but loaned it to a
friend who failed to return it in time
for my use." So our friend paid out
about 81 for the sake of accommodate
ing his forgetful neighbor, in order
that the neighbor might save thai
amount. There is a great demand il
this community for little more mile
age ticket honesty.

The Aims House Problem.

The selectmen visited the aims
house yesterday to consider the best
means of carrying out the vote of the
town at the last March meeting in re-
lation to much needed improvements
about the poor house. 1t is hoped and
expected that the changes so earnestly
demanded will now be pushed forward
to completion and that the towns poor
may have the pleasure of looking for
ward to a comfortable winter. Refer
ence to the general subject last week
has brought out another letter from a
correspondent who repeats the charges
against those who have charge of the
aims house. These charges are so
severe and so personal that the COM
municatiOn is Withheld from publca-
ton. Overseer Randall declares that
he is at the poor house almost every
day and sometimes many times in a
day and that SO far as he has observed
or known the poor are kindly treated
at the hands of Mr.. and Mrs. Gould.
However this may be one thing is evil
dent, this community is thoroughly
aroused on this subject. Kind treat
ment and a comfortable home for St.
Johnsbury's poor is demanded by the
voters. 1t was decided yesterday to
put in drains, to provide an earth
closet as it was found impracticable to
put in closet, to put on double win
dOws, to provide a number of extra
stoves for the halls and rooms, etc.
An addition 1Ox2O will be put on in
connection with other improvements.
The New Water Power.
Work on the new dam across the
Passumpsic below the village is being
pushed forward with vigor, the con-
tract being carried out by A. L. Bragg.
1t is expected that the frame work of
the dam will be completed this week
and that large force will be put on
next week when the dam building
proper will begin. The structure will
be about 170 feet long and between 12
and 13 feet high. Arrangements will
be made for three wheels, two of which
will be put in at once. The water pow
er when the work is completed will be
one of the best in this section, so stu
ated as to utilize all the water of the
Passumpsic, Moose and Sleeper's
rivers. The business end of the power
is on the east side of the river and th
land in that vicinity is peculiarly a
dapted for building purposes, the close
proximity of the Passumpsic railroad
making it possible to lay side tracks,
etc., with the least possible trouble
and expense. The company have al
ready received two offers for the plant,
one to either buy or lease for term of
years, but it is their purpose to put the
property into shape for working before
disposing of it. The company as now
organized is to be known as The Bel
KNAPP Water Power company, with
Col. t. G. Fletcher as president, John
Belknap as vice president and super
intendent and [. HI. Frost as secretary
and treasurer !; capital stock, $25 900.
The company has two offers already
for the power, one from Mr.. Whitney
representing the local electric lighting
company he is organizing to lease the
plant, and another from the Thomson
Houston electric lighting company to
either buy outright or to lease.

The Banner Harrison Family.

George Ranney of st. Johnsbury
Centre sends US this chapter of family
history: Let me give a little bit of
family history politically. In 1910 the
family of which I was one consisted of
the parents, eight sons and three
daughters, and they cast IL votes for
Tippecanoe and Tyler too, the three
sisters voting by proxy, their husbands
casting the ballots, and think rs per
cent. of the women will agree that
that was and is the best way for them
to vote. Six brothers of that family
remain, after these 4S years have pass
ed, to vote for the second TippecanOe
and Morton too, and the children OF
all these families, of which there are
quite number including five in my
own family, will, so far as 1 know, all
vote the same way at the coming cleo
ton. Where is the banner Harri-
son family

Signs of Improvement in the Town-A
Crystal Wedding.

Signs of Improvement in he Town-A
Crystal Wedding.
Walkerville is not booming, yet it is
showing signs of improvement, and many
hope that it will not be long before it is
restored to it's old-time activity. The Alice
Company is daily adding to the force OF
men employed, the Amy and Silversmith
have a lot of men at work, and quite a
number OF properties back OF the hill ara
being developed in a small way. OF course
the forces spoken OF are not very great, yet
they are better hal none, and indicate the
possibilities of a general resumption upon
the larger mines.
The much talked of association building
has not yet been begun, but it's projectors
have no doubt but that it will be erected
this summer.
The Palace hotel which was opened by
Mr.. Thomas a few weeks ago has proven g.
complete success and is rapidly filling up,
there now being over thirty boarders on
the register.
Tuesday night there wal a genuine sur
prise party at the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs.
e. J. Wright, the occasion being the
fifteenth anniversary of the marriage OF
the well liked couple and according to
rule the crystal wedding. The party me-
by appointment and proceeded to tht
Wright residence on DAILY street carryine
with them enough glassware to fill a store,
and in addition a plentiful supply of re-
freshments. In addition to the glassware
there was a very handsome gold watch and
chain with pendant set with diamonds. a
silver soup ladle and a pair of opera
glasses; these al from the Immediate
family of Mrs. Wright. There were also
valuable presents from Mr.. J. Fl. Leyson.
DR.. Gillespie and Mr.. Brown. Music, vocal
and instrumental, was INDUCED in, onver-
duly discussed. It was an event long to be
remembered by the participants.

AFTER MANY DAYS.
a Mare Whose Value Was Reduced by a
Years Absence.

A Mare Whose Value Was Reduced by a
Years Absence.
Something over a year ago a gentleman
arrived in Butte to locate and among his
possessions was a handsome black mare.
The animal struck the fancy OF several
Butte horsemep and by n or two he was
offered $3.50 for her, but like several OF the
candidates on the workingmen's ticket, he
declined with thanks. He had not been in
the city very long when the mare was
stolen. At the time he exhausted every
possible means to ascertain her where
abouts, without avail, yet he has never
given up the search. Not long ago the un-
lucky owner was approached by q man
who inquired what he would give to have
the animal returned, and the prompt
answer was $25. This did not
suit the visitor and after relating
that the animal had been worked hard all
the time she had been lost and that she
was a living skeleton, he made an offer oil
$50 for her. This the owner announced he
would accept being first sure it was his
animal. The would-be purchaser started
off to a point not far distant from Butte
where he had last seen the mare only to
find that she had strayed off toward the
Divide. He followed, found her, and rode
her in. Upon his arrival the owner backed
out of the sale but paid the man $25. The
mare wal in a poor condition but he knows
her value and will proceed to rebuild upon
the same old frame. In the meantime he
is casting about for a way to get even with
the people who have been holding her.

but at the latter point there is an abrupt
departure, and without any warning it is
about five feet high, completely shutting out
the houses that are built back from access to
the street. Just what species of engineering
~iustifies this manner OF work is too hard for
q layman to understand, and on theface of
it, it appears outrageously absurd. It is
true it strikes the grade at Montana street,
but it is also true that any one coming
east at night and not acquainted with the
character of the road is liable to break his
neck by stepping off at the point indicated.
As far as heard from the first accident that
has occurred took place yesterday after
noon when Archie Reynolds, a little son. OF
Under Sheriff Reynolds, while playing, ell
off the walk. Fortunately, he broke 10
bones, but he was considerably shaken up
and bruised. A remedy to prevent that
class of work is being hunted up and will
probably be applied.
