THE THIRD PARTY IN KANSAS

The Prohibition party cut but small
figure in the recent national election. In
Kansas the PopUlist governor-eieci is a
strong opponent of prohibition and the
present prospect is that the constitutional
convention which has been agreed to will
eliminate the prohibition amendment
from the constitution. The opening Of
saloons in many cities and towns implies
the popular conviction that prohibition
has bat short lease of life left in Kansas
This result is not surprising; the same
situation exists in Iowa, where the Re-
uublicans. who this year dropped prohi-
bition as test of party faith. found no
difficulty in carrying the state by hand.

Bennington Horses.

There are but few towns in the State
that can show faster or better horses
than Bennington. H. w. Putnam, Esq,
owns handsome pair with a record of
2:16t obtained at Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
in 1890. The team is composed of the
mare Aubine and the black mare Lady
Wellington. The pair are perfectly
mated in size and action. Mr.. Putnam
also owns the bay mare Lady Bullion.
She is eight years old, 154 hands high
and has record of 2:164.
Lucius Collins of the Putnam House
has three-year-oldm mare that is a beauty.
She was sired by Peacemaker, and al
though never handled for speed can show
better than 2:3O gait.
G. E. Galusha has seal brown stall
lion called Ben Hill. The horse is 10
hands, weighs about 1850 and on trials
has shown 2:33 gait.
William Campbell drives bright bay

Levi Burrasso, an employe in the
Hoosac Valley Knitting Company

past week; so he is unable to work for a
few days.
A young man by the name of Robert
Potter had been to Williamstown, Mass,
and when returning his wagon broke
down and he was obliged to resume his
journey on horseback, leaving his wagon
by the roadside. When reaching what
is known as the dug way" a place
situated about two miles south of Pow
nal on the Williamstown road, when
about half way through the "Dug way
he was asked by an unknown voice in
the background if he had any money; he
supposed it to be some one he knew and
gave them the reply, mo, spent it all
down at the Line" by that time they
came out into the road and he being a
little suspicious that it was some one un-
known to him, gave his horse cut and
left them but he had not gone great
way when a report of revolver was
sounded and the bullet weut through
his hat, but not hurting him, by this
time he was so far in advance of them
that they did not repeat the shot. He
did not see them to tell who they were,

W. II. HarwOod received a severe blow
this week from a small block of wood
about an inch square and three or four
inches long, which accidentally caught
in the teeth of the circular saw he was
using, and was carried to his under lip
with such force as to cut it, making it
necessary to have it sewed up by ply
stefan, besides knocking out three of his
under teeth. As might be expected his
face has swollen appearance.
The Y. P. S. c. E. held festival in
the parlors of the Congregational Church
on Wednesday evening, at which ice
cream, strawberries and cake were
served in the different ways ordered.
The ice cream was furnished by G. L.
Hudson of Bennington, and proved, as
ever, to be of the incest quality and the
other refreshments were fresh and
wholesome, which made the spread an
enjoyable one. The object of the gather
ing, was principally to replenish the
treasury of the society.
Quite an accident happened while
switching freight cars at the depot Mon
day night. A car of corn was cut off by
OllO u dlh anu OD OAAO OleNNHA
while the rear car from q train on
another track was allowed to run into it
with such force as to telescope and to
badly wreck the two. Corn, bags of
middlings and other materials were cast
in all directions. Five to seven hundred
dollars will make the damage good it is
thought. But would it not be better to
have the door fastened, before the horse
is stolen?
George Haynes and wife came neal
meeting with serious accident toward
evening, Tuesday, at the corner of Bank
and Church streets. They came from

speed which attracted the attention Of
one of our citizens, who fastened toward
them, when, on turning the corner into
Church street the carriage upset, anG
the horse was siezed by Fred COlvin and
firmly held. The parties were some

We notice the improved condition of
the mill of G. w. Roberts at Bennington

The Weather Report.

The past week in New England has
been one of unusual heat, an excess of
sunshine, and lack of rainfall over the
greater part of New England, and with
and excess of rainfall in Northeastern
Massachusetts and Eastern Maine. Two
unusually heavy storms have lately oc-
CURED, both accompanied by high wind,
thunder, lightning, and hail. The first
occurred on the 14th, after day of
almost unprecedented heat so early in
the season. 1t did great damage in the
vicinity of Greenfield by hail, damage
of $4,000 being reported from that town
alone from broken windows, although
few crops are reported injured in Massa-
chusetts. Trees were broken or injured
in New Hampshire and Vermont, and
some buildings wrecked; but the storm
exerted its greatest fury in Maine and
the Provinces. A boat was swamped in
Bangor Harbor, and several people
drowned; part Of the college buildings
at Orono were demolished; and trees
and buildings badly used in other sec
tons of Maine.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 25.-At noon to-
day the Atclison, Topeka Il Santa Fe
road submitted to Chairman Caldwell.
of the Western Passenger association,
long report giving its grounds of justi-
ficatiOn for announcing Sl2 rate from
Chicago to Denver and return for the
Knights Templar conclave.
The special meeting Of the associa-
ton, which was called for the purpose
of hearing the chairman's decision Oh
the report. convened at 2:30 p. m.
Chairman Caldwell announced that he
had received the Atchison's statement,
but so late that he had not had time to
fully consider all the points presented,
and he asked for further time in which
to give his decision. His request was
granted, and the meeting adjourned
until tomorrow.
1t is now claimed by some of the
AtchiSon'S competitors there will be an
attempt to fasten upon that road itself
the responsibility for the first violation
of the original agreement in regard to
Knights Templar excursion tickets.
They hold that the AtchisOn was the
first to offer cut rate and that all the
present decentralization is really the out
come of that offer. Whether this is an
empty boast or claim that can he sub
Stimulated remains to be seen.
Anyway, it is believed that the S12
rate will be put into effect Aug. 3, in
spite of any evidence or argument that
may be introduced or any ruling that
the chairman may make. The asSOcl-
alton roads are not in position to Off
cially announce their line of action
until after the chairman has given his
decision. and they are now awaiting
that decision with no little anxiety.

HEAVILY TAXED ROADS.
The Ad Valorem system Working
HarShIy.

JACKSON, Miss, July 25.-Under an
act of the legislature railroads doing
business in this state are required to pay
all ad vaiOrem tax instead of the privil
ege tax as heretofore. 1t is urged that
some roads, i'll view of the imposition.
will be compelled to stop business in
Mississippi. The total railroad mileage
OF the state is 2.459 miles. Last year
they paid privilege taxes amounting to
S2l2,S95. Under the ad vaIorem law the
taxes will necessarily be mach greater.
The railroad commission, which finished
its laborS last night, put the assessed
valuation of all the roads at S49.000,000,
being an increase of S32,000,000 over
the valuation rendered by the roads
themselves.
On this S49.000.000 the state levies a
tax of five mills. The counties will
levy from ~ to 1919 mills. and the levee
districts through which the roads run
may collect additional taxes tor levee
purposes. On an assessment of $40, ,O00,-
900 it will be seen the lowest possible
state and county tax is S613,000, and a
larger tax may be imposed. 1t is posi-
bic the valuation made by the commits
sion may be slightly reduced. but even
then the law will be burdensOme. EX-
press, sleeping car and telegraph COM
panies are taxed the same way, but
their valuation here is small.

A Baggage-Saving Invention.

A new way of obviating the necessity
for the carrying around by commercial
travellers in the boot and shoe bosiness
of the cumbersome samples of their
wares has recently been patented. The
inventor claims that by his invention
all the samples that any traveller is
likely to require can be carried in
small case. and that by its means he will
be able to convey 200 or 800 different
designs, showing shapes of toes, designs
of toe caps, welts. colors of uppers, etc.
1t Is also claimed that a saving to the
manufacturer of 20 TO so per cent is eff.
fected in clearing Off his samples at the
end of the season. Another improve
ment lately adopted in the shoe indus
try IS web for Increasing the ease of
putting on and taking off the shoe.
This web is made much on the same
principle as satin cloth, and has a very
fine and close texture and much more
elasticity than the web ordinarily used.
