Death of Mrs. Emma Shaw ApIin.

The sad report of the death of Mrs,
Emma Shaw Aplin OF Putney touches
the hearts of many near friends here.
Mrs. Aplin graduated from the Bellows
Fails high schJol in he ella. 5 of 'S9. and
was member Of the Congregational
church in this place, so that during the
several years of her being with her
cousin, Mrs. Alice Shaw Day, she made
many warm and tender friendships,
and their heartfelt sympathy goes out
to the young husband and relatives in
this sad bereavement. Mr.. Aplin is ill
with appendicitis, and she had accom-
panied him to Boston for treatment.
The care and excitement were too great
and she was taken i'll and died yester-
day morning. The circumstances of
her husbands illness adds another sad
feature to the affliction.

TO ENLARGE ITS PLANT.
Business with the Vermont Farm Machine
Company Booming

The Vermont Farm Machine COM
pany is one of the several thriving in
dustries of this town that the people of
Bellows Falls are justly proud of. This
corporation has been doing thriving
business right along and it was recently
decided to materially enlarge the plant.
For some time this company has con-
trolled the output Of United States
Cream separators, formerly manufac-
tured in New Jersey. Some six mouths
ago the manufacturing of these separa-
tors was transferred to the companv's
plant here aud owing to this addition
to the large business that the COMPANY
was already doing the enlargement of
the plant has become necessary.
The plant now is a brick building
with a four story front and one story
ell ll2 60. The ell will be raised two
stories making it the same height as
the rest of the buil3ing. The building
will then have three floors 355 so feet.
The addition will cost something over
$4,000. This company at present en-
ploys about 100 hands and in the busy
season, the months of February, March.
April and May, employs 200 hands.
Everything points to increased pros
perity for the company and larger and
better things for Bellows Falls.

season tickets are only $3.50 and arr
selling rapidly. All interested in tn,

IMPROVED
3 PLY ROOFING.

DROGRESS has characterized the devel.
" opment of various grades of roof-cov,
erings. Our extensive experience OF
many years has been drawn upon to secure
a roofing that would cost less and last longer
than shingle, until now, we present with
confidence what we claim to be the per
fection of roofing. Strong's Improved Ply
roofing is the best in the market, to-day, and
the steadily increasing demand for the same
is satisfactory proof that those who desire
durable, efficient and economical substitutes
for shingle, tin and iron roof-coverings have
found "Strong's" Improved Ply Roofing to
fill the bill completely. 1t is suited to all eli
mates, endures the extremes of all seasons /;
water and acid proof; adapted to all sorts OF
roofs, whether steep or fiat; inexpensive and
thus avoiding their liability to damage by
being handled while in transportation.

Potato Cure for Tippling.

A man prominent in the affairs of Dunkirk related the following incident.
 "One day, two months after I had signed the pledge, I had craving for a drink of whiskeY so strong that I could see nothing else but drinks about me and felt as if must have at least one drink. l told friend of my state of mind. He said You need not drink. I can tell you of substitute that will stop your discomfort. Get a bowl of ice water and a raw potato, peel it and cut down one end of it to a size conven- ient to take in the mouth. Dip the po- tato in the ice water and suck it every time you think you must have the whiskey.' I did as be advised. I took the bowl of ice water and the potato and placed them on table at the head oi my bed and would dip the potato in the water and place it between my lips every few moments till went to sleep. l awoke free from any desire to drink whiskey and have been free from it ever since. That one treatment eradicated my craving for whiskey for all the time that has since elapsed. ."-Buffalo Cour | fer.

Collision at Copake.

The passenger train was No. l in charge of Conductor Frank Smith, of Canaan, and Engineer John Savage, of Hartford, leaving Canaan, going west, at 3 AT p. m. and the freight was long heavily loaded extra, in charge of Conductor Schemerhorn and Engineer Murphy. both of Hartford, going east. The passenger train was nearly brought to stand still before the collision and the speed of the freight train was much reduced, the conductor and the brakemen all putting on the brakes as soon as the passenger train was sighted. The engineers and fire men all jumped and escaped with noth- ing worse than bruises. The passengers on the passenger train were shaken up and thrown about the car, and many lights were broken, but nobody serious ly hurt. Among the injured on the passenger train was brakeman riding in the milk car, who was slightly bruis- ed. The crew of the freight also escap- ed with their lives. One engine. the passenger engine No. '. had it's pilot smsshed, and the other, No. 34, a very fine one, was so badly injured that it had to- be hauled to Hartford. Six freight cars were derailed and three wrecked. The wreoker arrived in the evening with large force of car inspec- tors and section hands. The excursion train was delayed several hours.
 It is understood that the cause of the collision was that the freight train en- gineer neglected to take the siding west of Copake and wait for the passenger | train
