Randolph is a victim of the new
school law. The Herald of West RAN
dolph says "Randolph's grand list is
little over S20,000--a tax of five
cents will require $1,000 to be paid the
state treasury. Under the law for di-
viding the money back to the several
towns according to the number Of
schools sustained each town the
preceding u |ear,' which was
sixteen in Randolph, we shall receive
back of the $1,000 paid in only s57t ,
thereby contributing s340 toward sup
porting schools in poorer towns in the
state" Naturally this is not pleasant
for the Randolph mind. Bellows
Falls Times.
Wrong again Randolph is one of
the wealthy, growing towns in Yer
mont and is ready and willing to do
her share in helping the poor back dis
tricts. This bill will not do it as the
tax can never be legally assessed or
divided if assessed.

lent work he did at the recent session
of the legislature in drafting and secur-
ing the passage of bill prohibiting the
manufacture of any article in imitation
or semblance of natural butter or cheese

that other states will follow her exam

The Manufacturers Gazette thinks
that New England has robbed herself
to enrich others in the work Of ciyiliz-
ing and building up the west. She has
loaned TO the stranger what she has re-
fused her own. Now when ready mo-
ney is needed to sustain her domestic
industries it is not to be had. The
ranchman points to his barren pastures
and deserted farm and invites his cred
itor to 90 and take them. But though
the soil is there, it Is worthless when
nature and man alike forsake it. The
conclusion to be drawn is obvious. In
vest your money at home and build up
your section. Indications point tow
ards a general depreciation of western
land values, and corresponding loss
to eastern investors. The lesson which
it will teach will be to some costly
one, but New England will ultimately
be the gamer by it.
1t is part of the mission Of New
England to spread her men and money
and with these her ideas all over the
country. The real difficulty is, there
are not men and women enough of the
genuine stock of the New England faith
ers and mothers to meet the home and
foreign demand. The fact is, as stat
ed above,we arelosing groundat home,
while spreading over so much ground
abroad. What shall we do? We must
adopt that policy which is best for in
dividuals who have a mission in the
world; do just that amount OF good
that is possible without impairing our
efficiency for future usefulness. While
concerning ourselves with the general
welfare we must not forget to guard
our own interests.

Abundant Grape Yield.

Mr.. Rollin Guffin is surprising people
with the yield of grapes from his 10
acre vineyard north of town. The
vines are only in their fourth year yet
from the field will be taken, Mr.. Gutfin
thinks, ten or twelve tons of grapes.
The pickers have been at work for a
week and have made but small show
ing on the vineyard. The grapes are
perfect in shape and size and show
what may be done in the line Of grape
raising in Kansas. There is no ques-
ton but that with proper care there is
big money in the industry. Mr.. Guffin
will net good years salary from his
small field.

ments in connection with the sudden
disappearance of William Evans, secre.
tary of the Morse wool securing COM
pany, which occurred several days ago,
place the amount of shortage discov-
cred at 500, 900.
Evans was the secretary of the Morse
company. September the establish
ment was destroyed by fire. Three
days later the firm made an assignment
and began an investigation of the
books, whereupon Evans disappeared
and has not been heard Of since. He is
said to have gone to Chicago
Evans Joined the Morse company
about year ago, and at once, it is said,
purchased S., 900 of the stock He was
made secretary and implicit confidence
was placed in him. Suspicion was
aroused after his disappearance and an
investigation was put afloat-
A complaint was fled Saturday be-
fore the prosecuting attorney charging
Evans with the embezzlement of $780,
OOO OF this amount it is said the Morse
company are sufferers to the extent of
SIS, 900, Meyer brothers drug company

A HOT CONTEST.

The Lottery Company Straining Every
Barrel to Carry Louisiana.
CHICAGO, Oct 12.-"One of the hottest
campaigns known in the history of the
state is on in louisiana" said A. NJ.
Cook, Of New Orleans, vice-president
and general manager of the Louisiana,
New Orleans & Texas railroad, yester-
day. "The issue, of course, is in regard
to the Louisiana lottery. They want a
renewal of the charter for twenty five
years and to pay the state 81, $50, 900
year for the privilege where they
have heretofore paid about $40, 900. 1t
can hardly be called a fight between
the two parties. Partisanship and party
affiliations have been forgotten. You
can find democrats for and against and
republicans for and against the lottery.
The lottery people realize, of course,
that it is a fight to the death and are
using barrels of money"
what do you think will be the out
come%'
at is impossible to give good guess.
1 never saw a contest where the ad-
herents of both sides are so equally di-
vided. Whoever wins the victory will
have only a few votes to spare. 1t is
Doodle against principle, and so far it
is nip and tuck which will win"

For The REFLECTOR.
The Duty of the Hour.
The serious question of the hour,
Is how to gain and keep the power,
George W. was behind our times,
He was opposed to glips and signs,
And thought that secrecy should be
Ruled out of pol tics-but gee
Such things are now our strength and
stay,
By them we hope to gain the day.
Toour success this is the key,
We all must promptly pay the fee,
Our secret orders all, 1 think
VIII last while big men get the chink,
AS long as they can travel round,
And smoke and spout aud paw the
ground,
solong they'll advocate our views
And roth old parties they'll abuse;
But when the treasury runs low
Their burning words will cease TO flow.
As long as ready money l. sts,
The orders will he growing fast;
And men will travel here and there
With hayseed sprinkied in their hair,
With promises OF great relief,
For dimes and dollars and roast beet.
And Row, my farmer friend, draw near
A word I'll whisper In your ear,
just take the bitter with the sweet.
And all your obligations meet,
Ifyou want promises prOfuse
just hustle round and pay your dues.
