of this place, who survives him. He had
one brother, Frank Rowell, and sister,
Mrs. S. n Homan, both residents Of

For quarter of century Mr.. Rowell
had been identified with the material
interests of this town, and his death will
be much felt by the business men who

monstratlve in his ways, he was man
that was everywhere esteemed and one
that will be greatly missed. The funeral
was held on Monday afternoon and was
conducted by his pastor Rev. c. Nj.
Lamson.
The business in which Mr.. Rowel had
so long been engaged will be continued

NEW BANK EXAMINER.

Elisha May received notice from
Washington Saturday, that he had been
appointed national bank examiner to
succeed the present incumbent, H. W..
Kemp of Montpelier. Mr. May will
have the Vermont national banks to in
spect and will probably be detailed oc-
casionally for work in New Hampshire
and Massachusetts,. The Washington
correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican says of the appointment:
Mr.. May is an attorney and an expert
accountant, about 40 years OF age, and
and was endorsed by Col Bradley
Smalley and other prominent Vermont
democrats. His appointment will not
drive the present republican examiner
from the service, for Controller Eckels
expects to find plenty of work for both
of them for the present. Mr.. May has
already been here learning something OF
the duties of the Office, and made very
pleasant impression upon the controller.
Mr.. May is to be congratulated upon
his appointment. 1t is position o
trust and he will perform it's duties
faithfully.

embarrassed company show assets OF
So, ,262 514 and liabilities of So, 145, 723,
or over $4,000 900 excess of assets over
liabilities. Mr.. Streeter says "1fcondi-
tions generally become more favorable
we can easily pay both creditors
and shareholders in full. If we are sue
cessful in settling our guarantees-i e.,
have makers of notes pay the owners of
same-we shall soon be in shape to take
care of our own business again. 1t will
take about six months to do this.
Some success is now rewarding our
efforts" The Investor says of this letter
"The showing which the company
makes exhibits a much. larger excess OF
assets over liabilities than was antici-
pated, and leads us to be more confident
of our opinion than ever that, given a
reasonable time, this company will sue
ceed in liquidating it's affairs so that
neither investors nor stockholders will
lose. 1t has not yet developed that there
has been any wrong doing on the part
of the management of the company, and
it seems more than probable that moth
ing of this kind will be found
Those in this vicinity who are inter
ested in the company hope thatit its future
is as bright as the above indicates

young again on Tuesday afternoon and
attended school-for about two hours
and were very pleasantly instructed aud
entertained by the children, who gave
specimens of their abilities in reading
arithmetic, spelling, geography, draw
ing, music and gymnastics. The
pupils appeared in groups as contest
ants in these several branches of study
and the promptness and accuracy with
which much of the work was done spoke
convincingly of faithful training. The
two chart exercises in music were
directed, respectively by Nina Hudson
and Albert Sault. recitation was
given by Helen Hall in excellent style.
company of gentlemen and ladies had
been invited to serve as judges and decide

VILLAGE MEETING.

The adjourned village meeting was
held in the Town Hall Tuesday after
noon and was attended by seven voters.
Daniel Carpenter was chosen modera-
tor and F. G. Bundy presented a brief
statement of the villages finances. He
said that there was S225O interest due
on our railroad and water bonds, be-
sides $4,000 for bonds that matured in
1898. I'll ere was a floating debt of
over $4,000. The village has been
spending more than it has raised by
taxes and the trustees thought tax of
70 cents on the dollar ought to be raised.
The water works had been a great ex-
pense to the village last year, $4,000
being spent in this department and
$4,000 more for extra shares at the dam.
Both A. H. Mcleod and O. w. Orcutt
thought that rs cents was pretty high,
and on motion of the latter it was voted
to raise 60 cents on the dollar. Mr..
Bundy said this would pay all the cur
rent expenses and about $4,000 towards
reducing the floating debt. He thought,
however that was a pretty small ap-
plcation towards the floating debt.
This will make 200 cents on a dollar
to be raised this year or 15 cents more
than last year. The town tax is &C
cents, school tax 80 cents, highway tax
20 cents and village tax 60 cents.
