London, January 21.-The eXTa0rdin-
airy mystery of the proceedings in the
Transvaal is not solved by the daily
dispatches. The futility and the bloody
ending of the obvious plot, in spite of
months of preparation by men Of proved
ability, are as ineXplicable to-day as on
the morning Jameson crossed the bor-
der.
But the Times gives the first real
note in the English press Of the convic-
ton everywhere in well informed cir
cles in London that Rhodess ultimate
aim was the establishing of the United
States of South Africa with Cecil
Rhodes as dictator, or a nineteenth
century Washington, if you will. The
bitterness of the South Africa republic
or of the Orange Free State against
Great Britain would disappear with
their comon independence and state au-
tonomy, as it did in the United States.
The Times's Transvaal correspondent
cables that that conviction now is uni
versal in the Transyaal, and quotes
Gen. Joubert as saying that Rhodes S
plan was to blot out the little spots on
the map of South Africa, the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal. and 10
make not a British, but Rhodes en-
pire, out Of South Africa"

Randolph wants more business, part1cu-
larly manufacturing. Its citizens are Will
ing to offer any reasonable Inducements 10
bring in new employment-giving irdus-
tries. -.
for this line Of business. The so-caiied
Abbott mill, belonging to the Tewkspury
estate, can be bought at a very low inquire
Ia small fraction OF what It cost or OF
what it is actually worth. This MIL mas
well-earned reputation for fne wood
work Of ali kinds, both exterior and in
terror. 1t has done an extensive business
in these lines and also received large
patronage for its screens. The mill has
employed as many as sixty hands, many
OF them skilled workmen, who, desiring
to remain in Randolph, do not demand as
high wages as they could obtain in other
places. The mill has always paid its own
ers, and with proper management, fair
ability and some capital behind 1t, would
prove splendid piece Of property. 1t en-
foys q large local trade, being the only
mill of its kind within a wide radius.
The sooner the purchase is made, the bet
ter for the buyer, as the mills patronage
can be more easily retained.
The factory until recently occupied by
the United States Screen company can also
be bought very cheap or will be rented at
a merely nominal figure. The mill was
built by local stock company, not as an
investment but to add to the towns BUSH
ness. 1t is one OF the best mill structures
in New England, inew, convenient and
easy OF operation. 1t is provided with
steam engine, and machinery for making
screens IS now in place. The mill can be
used for almost any kind Of mill work. 1t
is advertised fully In another column.
A low freight rate on rough granite
from the Barre quarries has been secured,
which, with other inducements that can
be offered in the way Of cheap rental,

of granite as economical here as in Barre.
1t is hoped that some granite concerns
can be induced to locate here.

An Honored Citizen Dead.

Mr.. Erastus Hebard, who had reached
the advanced age Of ninety-five years and
six months to a day, passed gently away
at twelve o'clock Monday night after 4
very brief illness.
he was down town twice Friday and
1t is thought, contracted hard cold
which, with characteristic energy. he
struggled to overcome but was obliged to
take to his bed Sunday afternoon. and
failed rapidly until the end.
Mr.. Hebard was the Oldest native resi-
dent OF Randolph, and one of her most
honored citizens. For man of his vears
ne was strong and active physically and
the keenness OF his intellect was not dulled
by time. He kept himself we'll posted ON
the current topics of the day, and his opin-
ions on matters OF public interest showed
plainly that his mental force was not
abated. ~
In his younger days, he was promi-
nent politician and represented Ran
dolph in the state legislature in 1857 IS,
ne attended the Legislative Reunion in
Montpelier last October and was the old
est member present, both in time OF SER
vice and in years.
His father, Milan Hebard, came from
Windham, Conn.,, and in 1894 located in
this town on the farm now occupied nv

Carpenter, and two sons and three daugh-
tiers were born to them. The wife and
two OF the children died some years ago, SO
that OF his immediate family the only sur
ylvors are his two daughters, Mrs. C. M,
Howard Of this place and Mrs. j. 4. Cush-
ing OF Boston, and his son, Charles He
bard OF Mondovi, Wis. Neither Mrs.
Gushing nor Mr.. Hebard were able IL
reach here in time to see their father be-
fore his death.
The children have the sympathy Of every
one in their affection, and the town itself
mourns the loss Of an upright citizen.
whose long life, extending nearly through
the most important century in the worlds
history. was sfngularly biameless in the
sight OF his fellowmen. 1t can be truly
said OF him that good man has gone to
his reward. "
The funeral is to be held at two O'Clock
this afternoon at the home of his son in
law, Y. M. Howard, and the service viii be
conducted by the rev. H.. A. Spencer Of
