REPRESENTATIVE to reach the people.
It has over 5000 circulation. which is in
creasing rapidly-about 500 month 1t has
a big list in Minneapolis and st. Paul and
all over the Northwestern states But It ia
especially the paper to reach the farmers.
It was established by the State Farmers
Alliance, year ago. That organization has
nearly 1900 branches on its muster rolls.
and the paper goes to members Of every one
Of these. 1t goes into every county in the
state, from the British line to the Iowa

Back to Town.

We went into the country where the air was
pure and sweet,
But one cant live on air alone; it's rather
thin to eat.
And so we left the farmhouse when the world
VA like dream,
Because we couldn't get fresh eggs, nor butter
cheese
We journeyed to the seasfore next, the bathing
divine;
But we were not amphibious and could not live
brine.
And so we went away again, tho quite against
wish,
Because no price could furnish with good
meal of fish,
And then we hurried back to town-a broilng,
burning spot:
There is air, there is no brine and every
thing is hot.
But when the meal time comes around were
happy he.
Because we have fresh country eggs and fish

REMEMBER.

That if you see anything in the
REPRESENTATIVE which appears to
you as strong argument, in favor of
Peoples party principles, don't stop
with enjoying it yourself, for that does
no particular good,-as you are already
converted,-but sally out and show
the paper to every Democrat and Re-
publican in your neighbCrhood. Thus
shall you spread the light of the Cos
pei, and make possible the triumph Of
your party.

to find Lathe, telegraphing in differ
ent directions. He started out soon,
believing that Lathe had taken the
railroad track for Newport, and went
to Coventry station, where not long
after he saw some one approaching
on the track. He arrested the man,
who proved to be Lathe. He found a
heavy revolver on his person and be-
lieved he was the man whom he want
ed. Lathe was brought here and
States Attorney Annis was sent for,
when it was thought best to postpone
the examination a few days, awaiting
the recovery of the wounded woman.
Lathe had visited Barsto We at the
engine house at two different times,
when he made inquiries in regard to
his wages, his money, the house, etc.
1t would seem that his object was rob-
berry and that he shot the woman,
thinking to ransack the house for the
money he expected to find in it.

AMONG THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Editor While visiting in Nor
gan on a canvassing trip rec entity, we
were not surprised to find the people
of that town ready to subscribe for
one Of the best local papers publish
ed in this part of Vermont. At Nor
gan Center, we put up at Seymour
Cottage hotel which is neatly furnish
ed and wellkept by Leon Ell. Bur-
roughs and wife, who are ready and
anxious to look after the wants Of
customers. That night we found the
house in possession of the Kings
Daughters, fiourishing church soci-
ETY. of that village. We might have
felt some fear among SO many royal
personages, had it not been for the
presence of F. P. Gates of Newport,
another agent and wayfaring man,
whose courage and appetite seemed
sufficient for any emergency. We
understood that mine host and lady
reported that the agents did ample
justice to the supper, though there
was no lack. Later in the evening
the Daughters with an equal number
of Sons prepared the feast for the ev-
ening and the agents again showed
both cheek and stomach capacity
such as that fraternity alone possess.
The receipts of the society were gen
erous. They have been raising funds
to repair the church and are doing
good work generally. Success to
their efforts. G. B. S.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

Last Friday evening at about eight
O'Clock, as Mrs. Geo. D. Barstowe.
wife of the Waterman at the round
house, was sitting at her table read
ing, she heard some one approach
the house and knock at the door OF
the room in which she sat. She open
ed the door and saw stranger at the
threshold who held pistol in his
hand and fired into her face at once,
the ball striking the cheek bone near
the nose, passing around under the
ear, outside the jugular vein and
lodging under the scalp behind the
ear. She fell to the floor, and while
there another shot was fired which
passed over her and struck the hard
wood floor which it did not penetrate.
Either from the explosion of the pow
der or from the open door the wind
blew out the lights, leaving the room
in darkness with the assassin and the
wounded woman alone. She recov-
cred herself, sprang from the floor
and ran out of doors screaming. Her
husband was at the engine house
few rods away and she ran for him.
He heard her cries and took his re-
volver and went to the house, the wo-
man meantime going to neighbours.
The pistol was held within few
feet of the woman when the assassin
fired and her face is badly filled
with powder and blackened by the
force of the explosion. The wound bled
profusely. Mr.. Barstowe ran for a
physician, and called DIR. Sedgwick,
who did what he could at the time to
alleviate the suffering. The next
morning he extracted the bullet with
out difficulty. The ball, a large re-
volver bullet, was hattened and con-
siderable of the lead was worn off as
it passed along the bone. The woman
is fairly comfortable and will recover
unless blood poisoning takes place.
The ball passed through the flesh
distance of more than seven inches.
Suspicion at once rested on Will
Lathe, rather disreputable charac-
ter, who had been lurking about here
for the past week, and who was seen
in the evening both at the depot and
in the vicinity of the engine house,
where he proposed to board train to
go north. He claims to be a brake
man on the G. & P. r. R., having
friends or parents living at No. Troy.

same week in 1898; and the amount
marketed 50, 14O, TIA against 81 ,093, 945

the dry goods line, therefore, was
1,046, 1859 over the stagnation Of a
year ago, and foreign dry goods deal
ers secured 81 ,o36, 052. In other words
American dry goods dealers got about

increase in their line of business. This

OBITUARY.-It is with sorrow that we record
the decease of Mrs. Jennie HI. Miller, wife of
Henry Salmon. She born in Newbury.
A patient mother, gentle, loving wife is
gone, and the home she has blessed and
frightened is now desolate but the freed
spirit of a devoted Christian woman has es-
capped from it's frail tenement of clay and
gone to that fair land where the inhabitants
are never sick. In her girlhood Mrs. Salmon
made Christ her choice, identified herself
with Gods people, and has been an exem-
p1ary Christian for many years. OF more
than ordinary ability and refinement, richly
gifted in song, she was valued member of
society. We mourn with the bereft husband,
and the son and daughter she loved so ten
derby. The legacy of mothers prayers and
godly example remain with them, and is more
precious than rubies. The memory of the
just is blessed. Mrs. J. MD.

The bill to establish a uniform sys-
tenn of of bankruptcy throughout the
United States relates to a matter of
very general interest, and embodies a
reform much needed. The commit
tee having it in charge seems dispos-
ed to give it chance for early action
and it is to be hoped that action may
not be unfavorable. 1t has already
passed the house and now awaits the
senate's decision. Another great alb
omination of somewhat similar cha
racter is the great diversity of regu-
lations touching marriage, divorce,
probate business, etc.. which gives
rise to much embarrassment as we'll
as many evils Of moral and material
concern. The Vermont legislature at
it's late session had little scuffie with
some of these questions, but was not
disposed to treat them so seriously as
they deserved. More's the pity.

A birds eye view Of railroad in
come and expenditure in this country
is furnished by the statistician of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
His figures are based upon the re-
turns from $40 operating companies,
or about 85 per cent. of the total
mileage. Reduced to mileage basis,
the earnings per mile of line from pas
senger service were S2,O67; from
freight service, 81 1872; the gross earn
ings per mile were $6, $50; the operat-
ing expenses, 1902; the net earn
ings, S2,048. But large as this balance
in favor of the railroad looks, it was
$3.50 more per mile lastyear. The de-
crease, in fact, in net earnings of all
the railways this fiscal year (ending
June 80, '94) will probably exceed
$50, 100000 This decrease is due to
the falling off in the volume of freight
traffic occasioned by the democrat,

Dear Sir: Please allow me space in
your columns to reply 10 your edi-
torial on the condition of the United
states jail at Guthrie. Your position
that the Jail ought to be rebuilt aud
owned by the general government is
a proper one and sustained by ample
and convincing arguments, nor would
object TO the hospital annex; but for
one do not think that a place, which,
i'm its present nature and intent, Is a
place OF punishment, ought TO be made
luxurious retreat for winter board
ers, and provided with the bathing
facilities of a perfumed Cleopatran
palace. No place should be so tolera-
bic that criminals and vagrants would
desire il in preference TO freedom and
labor. Is there not virtue restoring
men from crime in the fact that a jail
| is a veritable help Is il not a fact
| that repeatedly men seek the lodging
and food OF a jail in preference TO the
task of making living by Industry
/ This being true, ! believe that there is
danger in making jaAs and other penal
institutions so endusable chat they
! lose their terrors, with a certain. GLASS Of
men tired of labor Let a jail ne such
| that a man. ever having experienced
