Influence Of Drink in Society.

The injurious influence of social
drinking usages extends TO the edu-
Gated as well as the uneducated. DR.
J. w. Barrett Of Australia, whose at
tention had been directed to the extent
of the damage done to members of the
medical profession by alcoholic liquors,
instituted an inquiry, making it as
complete as he could, with regard
TO bachelors of medicine of the Mel.
bourne university. OF those of 1851
81, the great majority of whom are
now dead, he found that Is per cent
had been decidedly injured by alcohol;
those of lsss-s4. 10 per cent; and those
Of lss5-s6, II per cent. His investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that more than
II per cent. of the medical men trained
in the Melbourne university are. to use
his own words, distinct alcoholics.

AT THE EXPERIMENT FARM.
easant Basket Picnic Held Sept. -
AN Annual Field Day for Farmers

The basket picnic of the mamhors
~ the Pomona oranges of the state at
su9 experiment farm the 18th was
held under clear skies and amid pleas
ant surroundings. About $50 peonle
assembled and ate dinner on the knoll
at tne back of the newly-purchased
lahu opposite the farm buildinos
ana enjoyed lake and mountain views
Whlle satisfying the inner man. About
iiall the number drove to Burlington
from surrounding towns and the rest
came on the noon trains and were
met by the electric cars and taken 70
the University campus and thence by
team TO the station farm.
After dinner, Farm Superintendent
Howe, with a few y ell-cbosen words
introduced Prof. Emerson, who well
coined the visitors in behalf of the
University. Prof. Wells extended n
similar greeting, speaking for the ex-
pertinent station, and Hon. G.. w.
Wlnslow, secretary of the State Board
OF Agriculture, made few pleasant
remarks. The visitors then spent two
Dus! hours viewing the experimental
plots, the farm buildings and stock.
the experiment station building and
collections, the Billings library. me-
chanical building and museum. The
only complaint seemed to be that
there was too much to see in too short
a time.
Those coming from distance took
the 4:2O train home. All present
appeared to be pleased with what
they saw and many announced their
determination to come again. The
fairs at Bethel and Waterbury and
the harvesting of corn kept many
away who desired to come. The sue
cess of this meeting was such that the
station authorities intend to annually
invite the farmers of the state to a
field day on the station grounds

Charles X. sherman, wealthy and
eccentric farmer, aged 90, was set up
on by two masked men, brutally
beaten, robbed and left for dead in his
own barn near Fairfield, Friday night
The locality is exceedingly lonely. Mr.
sherman was busy all day FRIDAY, dig
ging well. and ms dusk came on he
gathered his tools and started for the
barn. Half the barn door was loose
and he placed a bar against it to keep
it shut, then stepped inside, and as he
did so, he was grabbed from behind
with grip that bound his arms to
his sides and caused him to drop his
tools. A masked man stepped uD and
Sherman was tlipped and thrown
heavily TO the floor. The other portion
of the door was then closed, leaving
them all in the dark. and a desperate
fight commenced. Sherman struggled
and fought manfully and kept his as
sailants at bay for some time, but they
finally oyerpowered him and left MIN
for dead. taking $3.50 from his peck
cts. Sherman only got loose II hours
afteIward, after working all night cut
ting the rope which bound his wrists,
with his finger nails, and digging the
flesh from his bones in the operation
is supposed the crime was committed
by parties in the neighborhood. Sher-
i'll Kelly OF st. Adams made an inn
portant capture Tuesday in arresting
Cl q SER Kezer of Fairfield. who is ac-
cused of being one of the men who so
cruellv beat and robbed Mr.. Sherman.
Kezer is Il tough and notorious char
acter. having just lately been released
from States prison, after serving two
wears ane six months for horse steal
ing. Oliver kezer, son of the above,
and one Bailey were arrested Tuesday
morning in Fairfield for the same
crime. Kezer was given a hearing
but Bailey waived examination. They
were lodged in the county jail.

May II, 1894, he paid an endowment on
which the premiums paid amoun-
ted to S1779 90
The policy amounted to 2q12 %
Profit over insurance 1913 %
1t would seem as If a man ought to be
pleased if he can have the protection for
