THRIFTY VERMONT.
She Won't Get Any Direct Tax Refunded.
but She is Ahead of the Government.

She Won't Get Any Direct Tax Refunded,
but She is Ahead of the Government.
When the general government levied what
was known as the direct tax the state of YER
mont contributed the sum Of S19O, 200, and
when the last Congress legislated to refund
that same direct tax Vermont rejoiced and was
exceeding glad. One hundred and ninety
thousand dollars was q good deal Of money and
Vermont was aware of it. Even Gov. Page
went into official ecstacies over the prospective
and In lengthy manifesto informed the people
fully as to what he proposed to do with
the currency when it came into his hands
In legal form and without any great
waste of time the governor made formal appli-
cation for the cash, but he has not received it
yet. and, what Is worse. he probably never will
receive even a portion of it. To the governors
request the Treasury Department replied by
sending him a bill for S575, OO0-a debt incurred
by the state of Vermont when it secured from
the general government arms and accouter-
ments with which to equip its forces at the time
Of the Fenian raid at st. Adams. The depart
ment also made reference to the fact that Yer
ment sold over $50, 200 worth Of these same
arms to France shortly after the commence
ment of the Franco-Prussian war, and then
added to its thrifty record the feat of placing
the money thus realized into the state treasury,
although the state had never paid the general
government for the goods.
Interest in the active provisions Of the direct
tax bill is dead in Vermont, but the state is still
ahead to the tune of S425, 200.

Two Little Ones Lost in the Nebraska Sand

Two Little Ones Lost in the Nebraska Sand
Hills-One Found Dead.
The following unusually pathetic story is tel
egraphed from Omaha: For a week the entire
male population of Thedford, Thomas county,
has been engaged in a search for the two little
girls of John Hammond, who were lost in the
sand hills surrounding that town last Sunday.
The children, one eight years and the other
four went to visit their sister, who lives about six
miles north of Thedford and between and
3 O'Clock they started home. They had to go
about mile, and the road led through the
sand hills. The children lost their way and
never reached home. The parents and the i'm
mediate neighbors searched the hills all night
and on Monday morning general alarm was
given.
Then the citizens of Thedford and the sur
rounding country turned out. They took the
trail and soon found where the children had
wandered from the path to gather flowers.
The search was continued all day Monday until
dark and the searchers camped on the trail. A
relief party went after provisions and couriers
were kept In communication with the searchers
all day Tuesday as they went on over the dis
NAL stretch of barren land. All day Wednes-
day the search went on.
On Thursday it was again renewed. They
came to place where the youngest had lost
one shoe and could see where the older one
had carried her little sister a short distance.
Thursday at noon the youngest child was found
at the foot of high hill half covered with sand,
where she had fallen completely exhausted.
The little one was unconscious and her tongue
was swollen so that it protruded from her
mouth. She was soon restored. however, and
when asked where her sister was she said Sis
ter went home"
The youngest child was found nearly fifteen
miles from the point where they left the road to

day and during the day he visited some LIQUOR

dating enough to loan him the ore that he had
on his head until he could go and purchase
new one.
His friend went out, but did not return and
George had to go home without a hat.
The liquor he drank had a bad effect on him
for when he reached the Baltimore and Ohio
depot he met the man with his hat on and he
became so noisy that he had to be put out Of
the depot

tective John Lloyd Of the railroad company,
and when he advised George to take a walk
and get sober the latter became qusrrelsome

Maria to the Police Court Q sss-E -ts-t
Judge Mailer heard the case and fined George
