ANIuPORrANr MATTER,

AN kDFO6EANT MATTEh.
 People who have come through railroad accidents damaged but not destroyed are very interesting to the railroad company which has damaged them. They are wait ed on by gsntlemanly agent who makes 1t apparent to them that the company wants to do all 1t can to compensate them for what they have suffered, and they are shown the advantages of making prompt and easy settlement with the company without the delay and annoyance of legal proceedings. Sometimes, by reason of the persuasive sympathy and eloquenoe of the gentlemsnly agent, 8 damaged one is in- ducsd to accept sum of money much smaller than he afterwards thinks he ought to have had.
 The interesting question has arisen out west whether damaged person can, afte, accepting inadequate compensation from c railroad company which has damaged him. get more. Judge Shiras of the United Statss district court for the northern dis triet of Iowa thinks he can, under certain circumstances. A. N. Vanderwalden had
 resn injured while passenger on tn. Chicago and Northwestern railroad. Ht was sought out by the agent of the com l pany, and he entered into . written stipu
 lation to accept the sum of $500 ss pay ment in full for all damages, and he rs oeived the money. Aftsrward Wander walden consulted sn attorney and became satisfied that he had settled on terms tha
 were egregiously too moderate. He re pented of his bargain and sued the rail
 road company for $20. 900 damages. Tn company, in defense, claimed that h.
 was eatopped from suing for further dam
 ages because he had settled in full fo
 the sum of money which he had received
 and had not returned 1t before eommsnc

When an article has been sold for g years and its sales have increased each year, in spite of competition and cheap limitations, it MUST have supe- rior quality and absolute uni formity and purity. Dobbins' Electric Soap has been con- stantly made and sold since 1869, more each year. Can the sale of an inferior article constantly increase for B years ? This soap is today. as ever. the best, the purest, fam lily soap made. It contains NO adulteration of any kind, and is intrinsically the cheapest soap made. because it will go so far, and do such perfec. work. Ask your grocer for it DON'T to read carefully the dirsO-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Thos. 1. James, who has just closed
the seasons work as physical in
structor at the Y. M. c. A, met
with peculiar and serious accident
on Tuesday afternoon. While TAX
ing his first trip of any length on
bicycle, passing down by the sand
pit on the Passumpsic road, in try
ing to pass one of the heavy double
teams that operate in that locality,
he collided with it and was thrown
under the cart. The ponderous
part of one ear was torn off by the
force with which his head was push
ed along on the gravel of the road,
and he received also severe cut on
the side of the head. He stood the
shock very pluckily until brought to
the village and surgically attended

home of Secretary Lewis he became
unconscious, remaining so for some

A NEW MONEY ORDER.

The postal note will be discon-
tinued June 80 and the post office de-
partment will issue on and after
July 1 a new money order at rates
much less than the present one. The
main objection to the postal note
was that it was transferabl and
ANYBODY that presented it to the post
office could get it cashed. The new
money order, on the other hand, by
a system of coupons, serves as check
both upon purchaser and postmaster.
Under the new system postmasters
will receive a commission Of three
cents for each money order issued.
At present our postmaster gets 312
cents for each order issued and the
same amount for each paid, and one
cent for each postal note issued and
three-fourths of a cent for each note
paid.
The schedule of fees for the new
money orders has been reduced to
the basis now charged by the various
express companies for transmitting
money, and will be as follows: For
So. SO or less, 3 cents; $3.50 to $5,
5 cents; So to $40, 8 cents; $40 to
$50, 10 cents; $50 to $50, II cents /;
80 to 40, Is cents; 40 to so. 1S

BASKET BALL AGAIN.

Victory rested with the Towns in
the basket ball game at the Opera
House last Saturday evening, but
victory had close call so far as the
Towns were concerned. The score
was II to 10, just close enough to
make the contest interesting. There
were several features" in this game,
quite a number of long passes and
close connections with the baskets
being made. At one point Hamilton
made hurried under-pass Of the ball
to Ned Stiles, who, by remarkable
overhead throw, tossed it into the
basket and secured a goal-and the
audience cheered vociferously. Guy
Abbott as back, and Porter as
forward, put in some good work,
and Hawes and Graham made two
of the goals for the Gowns. Bishop
and Ward acted alternately in the
positions of umpire and referee.
A pleasing event of the evening was
an Emerson gesture drill by eight
young ladies from the Academy
Misses Patterson, Switser, Simpson,
Rickaby, Baker, Hartman, May and
Morse, piano accompaniment being
| furnished by B. Frank Harris.
Mr.. James and portion of his class
gave an exhibition of work on the
| horse and with the bar bells.
| Prizes were presented by the phys
ical instructor to Downer Newell and
Albert c. Sault of the junior gym
nasium class, for faithful attendance
and ticket-selling, respectively.

HORSE GOSSIP.

Lambert B., 2.22A, after his stud
season will be fitted for few races.
He has lowered his record every sea-
son that he has been handled, and
for two years has held the track
record at St. Johnsbury. He is not
a tin cup performer, but has won his
laurels in trotting contested races.
He enjoys the distinction of being
the fastest entire son of his renowned
sire, and Daniel Lambert never sired
in gamier performer. The breeding
of Lambert B. is a sufficient guaran-
tee that when crossed upon mares of
even fair share of merit, he will
produce elegant gentlemen's road
sters, and no son of the famous
Daniel Lambert is better entitled to
perpetuate the valuable Morgan
characteristic, or surpass their sire
as producer of speed.

IMPURE MILK KILLED HIM.

The death in Yonkers, n. Y, Of the
baby boy of w. A. Harper of Harper
Bros, from tubercular meningitis, directly
traceable to his drinking milk taken from
COWS affected with tuberculosis, will stir
up more popular agitation on the sub
ject than the dozen medical treatises
written on the topic of late. A personal
illustration of the danger of this sort of
contagion has an enormous effect.
The above is from the Boston Rec
ord. When DIR. Rich was here lately
he stated that his wife died few
years ago from the same cause, and
the circumstances of her death led to
his interest in vaccina ting cattle.

At its regular meeting on Satur-

passed the following resolutions,
submitted by a committee consist
ing of w. H. Herrick, c. P. Carpen-
ter and N P. Bowman:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God in his own wise providence to re-
move from this world the soul of our
comrade, Frederic E. Carpenter; be it
Resolved, That by his death Chamber
lin Post has lost an esteemed comrade,
a faithful officer and true friend. After
a busy and useful life which seems all too
short, he "rests from his labors," and
has left behind the fragrant memory of
a good citizen and an honest man, of a
fraternity which saw in every man a
brother, of loyalty which valued not
his life when his country was in peril, of
a charity which spread its white mantle
over all mankind.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered upon the records of the Post and
that copy be sent to the family of our
deceased comrade.

THE BOOK OF THE FAIR.

Parts four, five and six of the Book
of the Fair have recently been issued
by the II. H. Bancroft Company and
the book when completed will con-
tain 25 parts of the same size as the
ones that have been issued. The
book is printed on the finest coated
book paper and when completed will
contain over 1000 pages and 5000
half-tone pictures taken direct from
photographs. The three parts last
published contain many excellent
pictures of the buildings and their
contents, the story following closely
the illustrations. The views of the
interiors of the big buildings are re-
produced with wonderful accuracy
and one can see the Fair over again
by studying this elegant book. The
outlay for the book must have been
enormous, and it is gratifying to
hear that the 100000 subscriptions
already received will insure a fnan-
cial success. For its publicat ton Mr..
Bancroft moved with his family to
Chicago, took thither his publishing
house from San Francisco and
engaged many skilled artists from
New York and Paris. His book
seems to come as near as is possible
to reproducing the glories of the
White City with paper and ink. We
understand that few more agent:
can find profitable employment tax
