LAMoILLE COUNTY COURT.

According to expectation County
Court business was completed and
adjournment taken Saturday after
noon, after q session OF only five
days.
The case of State V. Walter Mans
field, assault with intent to kill, was
the only jury trial, but it aroused
quite a large amount of interest. In
1896 Walter Mansfield of Stowe hired
George Clifford, a married man, poor,
and not the brightest fellow possible,
to work for him, paying for his ser
vices but a meagre wage. Finally
Clifford found that he could do better
and left Mansfeld's employ. He was
living in one of Mansfield's houses,
with little bit of garden attached,
and this little garden was the cause
of the rumpus. Mansfield forbade
the Clifford woman taking anything
out of the garden, using more or less
impolite language Clifford took Mans
field to task for this and fight en-
sued, during which Mansfield struck
Clifford on the head with an AK helve,
severely injuring him. This was on
July 6, 1896. The plea of the re-
spondent, who admitted striking the
blows, was that he did it in self de-
Tense. All other things being equal,
this plea would hardly seem plausi-
BILE, Mansfield having immensely the
advantage in bodily strength and
size. ......
The trial began Wednesday morn
ing, went to the jury Thursday about
noon and that august body after
bordering over the evidence for al
most twenty-fOur hours, came into
court Friday forenoon with verdict
of mot guilty" The verdict caused
not a little surprise to those who
heard the trial throughout. We I'M
derstand the jury stood six to six,
but that the six for conviction were
most eager to get home. We have
no desire to censure the jury as a
body or as individuals, but there are
those who feel just as one of the jury
men did when he remarked. 1--WE
ought to be indicted for bringing in
such a verdict" There must be
something about our jury system
that needs revamping.
Fleetwood and Gleed conducted
the prosecution, and Powers and
Clough appeared for respondent.

NTNcUHCENEENE

| beg to advise the readers of the
News AND CITIZEN of my appoint
ment as special agent of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New
York. TO say that my former sub
agency for a smaller company did not
give scope for successful work might
not be entirely exact, but to say that
association with the Grand Old
Mutual" which is the leading life in
surance company of the world, Sc
cures a broader field for action and
better equipment for efficient work
would be profoundly true.
The wOndrous growth of the Nut
uaI Life Insurance Company Of New
York is a subject for observation and
comment throughout the civilized
world. Since the date of its organi-
cation in 1843, it has paid to living
policy holders two hundred and fifty
nine millions, and to benehciaries Of
deceased members one hundred and
seventy-eight millions, making a total
of four hundred and thirty-seven mil
lions. The payments made by any
other institution offering insurance to
the public are dwarfed by this rec
ord. The amount of money diStrib.
uted annually by the Mutual Life
shows an increase each year, and the
accumulated fund for the security of
the present members likewise shows
a parallel growth.
On Dec. 81, 1896, the assets in
vested to meet the claims of policy
holders amounted to more than two
hundred and thirty-four millions, thus
showing that during the ffty-three
years of its existence the company
has paid to and invested for its men,
bers the colossal sum of six hundred
and seventy-one millions, and this sum
is seventy three millions in excess of
all the money paid to the company by
policy holders. Differently stated, the
Mutual Life has for ffty-three years
been supplying the people with the
very best life insurance to be had
hundreds of millions of it--and after
paying all the expenses of manage
ment, taxes, salaries and commits
Sions, the net cost has been seventy.
three millions less than nothing.
Nor is that all. The Mutual Life
began with nothing. Those old he
roes who set the ball rolling must
have had a good many thousand dol,
lars worth of faith, but it was to be a
| purely mutual company in which the
I policy holders should be the only
stockholders, and SO there was, at
first, no money TO make money with.
The initial premium became the mi,
tial capital and from that humble start
grew the grand results mentioned
But to-day the company has Solidly
invested assets in amount four times
as great as the combined assets of all
the National Banks, Savings Banks,
Trust Companies and Fire and Life
Insurance companies of Vermont
(think this over and the bought and
paid for business on its books
amounts to more than nine hundred
millions-an additional credit for il
costs something to secure business.
Between ourselves it is a good
time to go into partnership with the
Mutual Life and that is just what q
man does when he takes out policy
J There is no doubt about it the Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York is the Greatest and the Safes
Bank on Earth, and, once more, | an
the agent. Respectfully,

Prosperity Predictions.

During the campaign, one ye, r
ago, the Republican campaign Or
ator ana the gold-bug newspapers
assured the peol le substantial pros
perity would follow McKinley's
election.
1t was said and resaid that the
simple announcement that McKin-
ley was elected, would, at once, re-
store confidence, and give such i'm.
petus to all our industries as would
set every wheel in motion and em-
ploy every idle hand at remunra-
tive wages.
Such in part was the rose.tjnted
perspective. How about the real.
ity? Some few manufactures were
so impressed with the stories of re-
stored confidence" that in few
days after the election the fires
were kindled under the boilers and
blazed brightly for short zine,
but "Confidence" failed to appear,
aud the fires died out. = .
Mckinley was inaugurated on
the fourth day of March, and on
the fourth day of july the coal
miners inaugrrated The most VIDE
spred strike this country has ever
seen.
In no part of the country has
there been the general rise in wages
so fteely promised before voting
day, while in many instances the
wage rate has been lowered. So
palpably false have been these an.
reelection promises that even 5
Hanna in his public actresses ac-
knowledges the failure and begs
for another trial.
In this Hanna reminds US of the
man who bet dollar That he could
throw his companion across deep
mill race filed with water. The
first trial he only succeeded in
throwing him one third way across.
The victim scrambled TO the shore
and after blowing the water from
his mouth and nose and digging
the mud from his ears claimed the
INC ney. To this the first replied,
mo sir! L bet l could throw you
across, but l d.d'nt say how many
trials it would take, and l am going
to win that money or drowned you
before Iquit."
So Hanna and his gang of bood-
lers will, if given the time, bring
prosperity or kill the country, and
the chances are greatly in favor Of
the killing.
